bless you"
Those words alone. he said
have been the inspiration OF
more than one preacher of the
Gospel. During his long pas
torate, he said, he has come tc
understand that "the invasion
of the human by the divine is
one of the most real things in
all our uncertain life"
For the text of his final SER

the essence, the sum and sub
stance of all benedictions, SIM

sity in the finals tonight to win
a 24-team college debate tour
nament on whether the United

Wilkes favored recognition in
the final round, but the Commu-
mist China regime lost out in the
overall competition, taking but
% of the 60 debates over the
two-day tournament.
Awards went to the top six
teams. Runners-up to Wilkes
and Princeton were Boston Uni
versity, Fordham. Seton Hall

u. 5. Seeks Identity
OF Attacking MICS,
Warns. Reds Again
BY ,he A..oeia,.d Pres,

The United States started an
investigation yesterday to deter
mine whether Communist MIG
fighter planes which tangled
with American Sabrejets over
the Yellow Sea belonged to Red
China. North Korea or Russia.
Disclosing the investigation
into the nationality of the MICS,
the State Department also
sharply reminded Red govern
ments that American airmen in
the Far East have orders to de-
fend themselves and that these
orders will be carried out in the
current situation"
InformantS said that Red
China. North Korea and the
Soviet Union all fly fighter planes
of the type seen in the Yellow
Sea clash. They said that one
thing Washington would like to
know was what kind of markings
the planes had. Henry Suydam,,
State Department press officer,
declined to say how the investi-
cation was being conducted and
whether it involved any diplo-
matte notes to Moscow or else
where.
President Eisenhower spent an
hour with Ambassador Henry
Cabot Lodge, jr.. discussing the
Formosa problem and seeking
some new way to get the Chinese
Communists to end the hostili-
ties. Mr.. Lodge told newsmen
that the steps probably would
be announced soon but that
''it is best to keep the
other fellow guessing"

Admiral Alfred M. Pride, COM
mander of the 7th Fleet, the
Military Assistance Forces on the
