Protest

We desire to make known
our strong protest to the
Russian government, through
our Secretary of State,
against its terrible cruelty In
shooting a defenseless little
dog into outer space. We tel

THE directors and entire
membership Of the Animal
Protective Association, Inc,
respectfully beg you to notify
the Russian government
through its Washington AM
bassador. our strongest pos
sible protest against its rock

satellite, or Of any other dog
or creature In the future, as
diabolically inhuman, i'm
moral and ungodly to impose
such physical and mental an
guish and horrible death
upon any sentient. helpless
captive; that. moreover. such
actions impose suffering upon
countless human beings with
any consideration for life
given by the worlds Creator.
Nothing Russia might fan

violation Of human decency
and compassion.

THE POLITICAL MILL
The Knight-Nixon Hotchet-Buryinc
BY GOULD LINCOLN

One Of the amazing twists
In party politics in some time
well. q year and some
months. at least-is the re-
cent burying of the hatchet
by Gov. Goodwin J. Knight
Of California, so far as Vice
President Nixon is concerned
but not in Mr.. Nixon's head.
Back in his native State
Gov. Knight commented to
reporters: Dick Nixon and
/ have not always seen eye
to eye politically in the past.
but ! am proud to report, as q
fellow Californian. that he
Is doing a spectacular job in
Washington and deserves the
warmest support of US all.
He certainly has mine"
These are strong words Of
com m endation by Gov.
Knight, who in 1856 opposed,
the denomination of Mr.. Nix
on to run with President
Eisenhower. 1t is clear to
everyone at this juncture
that Mr.. Nixon is 'front.'
runner for the Republican
presidential nomination in
1860. and 1t seems that
he will receive Gov. knights
support for that nomination
when the time comes. Par
ticularly will this be true
If the Governor wins the
Republican senatorial nomi-
nation next year, as now
expected, and is subsequently
elected to the seat which is
being. vacated by Senator
William F. Knowland, mi
nority leader of the upper
house.
Calls Charges shabby"
Gov. Knight also took oc-
casion to pay his compliments
to Attorney General Pat
Brown of California. the 1853
Democratic candidate for
Governor supported by the
party's leaders, and other
Democrats who are charging
that the Governors de-
cision to retire from the
gubernatorial race and run
for the Senate was the re-
suit Of a deal" involving
both Senator Knowland and
Gov. knight. and possibly
Mr.. Nixon. The Governor
said these charges are
shabby and unfounded. man
ufactured for cheap partisan
political purposes" He pre-
viously had said he was with
drawing from the Governor
race and seeking the Senate
seat in order to help bring
about a united Republican
front in California and avoid
a bitter fight over the
gubernatorial nomin a ton.
Gov. Knight undoubtedly is
right in his denial of the
charge of a deal with Senator
Knowland. The Senator. it
appeared, was sure to win the
gubernatorial nomination and
did not have to make a deal.
Also, the California Senator
has asserted he made no deal
and had never talked to Gov.
Knight about the matter. The
Senator has quite a reputa-
ton for truth telling.
Mr.. Brown, who has no
opposition - certainly none
worthy the name-for the
Democratic nomination for
Governor. had been looking
forward happily to a. bitter
intraparty fight between the
Senator and the Governor.

fight would certainly help

m ansion In Sacramento.
When Gov. Knight decided
to avoid this fight and
run for the Senate e-which
seemed like an obvious thing
to do from the COP. point
Of view-Mr. Brown felt very
much chagrined.
He felt much the way Gov.
Hartman Of New York
felt in June Of 1856 when
Senator Estes Kefauver Of
Tennessee, having been de-
feated handily in the Cali
fornia presidential primary
by Adlai Stevenson. an
nounced he was withdrawing
from the race for his party's
top spot nomination and
would throw his support to
Mr.. Stevenson. Gov. Harri-
man, who had counted on
Mr.. Stevenson and Sem
ator Kefauver killing each
other OF in the Democratic
National Convention, so that
he (Harriman) could have
the presidential nomination.
was inclined to feel that Mr..
Stevenson and Senator Ke-
fauver had made q deal which
would give the Senator the
vice presidential nomination.
It's rather a human and po.
litical way to feel. It is ap-
parent, however. that no such
deal was made. For at the
convention Mr.. Stevenson de-
chned, after he had been
nominated for President, to
come out for anyone for the
second place on the ticket.
and Senator Kefauver won
the vice presidential nomi-
nation only after a neck-and-
neck race with Senator John
F. Kennedy of Massachusetts,.
Browns Candidacy
Mr.. Brown would be the
first to deny that there was
any deal" in connection with
his own candidacy for Gov
ernor, although all the party
leaders have agreed on him
as the party candidate. The
majority of the Republican
Party leaders were agreed on
Senator K Knowland when
Gov. Knight pulled out.
Also, Mr.. Brown is carefully
avoiding saying he wants
Representative Clair Engle to
be the Democratic nominee
for Senator-and his running
mate-next year. But every
one seems to be aware that
Mr.. Engle, regarded cas- the
strongest potential candidate
for Senator among the Cali.
fornia Democrats, is Mr..
Browns choice. And GER
tainly MIR. Brown is Mr..
Engle's choice for Governor
indeed, it was made clear
that Mr.. Engle would not
seek the Senate nomination
unless Mr.. Brown was to be
his running mate. The IDEAL"
talk in California, therefore.
seems to be q feeble issue at
best.
Another charge that comes
from Democrats is that Sem
ator Knowland has made a
deal with the Vice President
under which Mr.. Nixon Is to
have the presidential nomi-
nation in exchange for Mr..
Nixon's support for Senator
Knowland in the guberna-
torial race. Neither man has
entered into a deal" Sena-
ator Knowland will serve out
his term as Governor, unless
his party demands he run for

LETTERS TO THE STAR
For Cleaner Potomac

On behalf of the Citizens.
Council for a Clean Potomac.
may I express appreciation
for the fine coverage The
Star has been giving to mat
tiers relating to the Potomac
River? Nothing is of more
basic Importance to the con-
tinued growth and healthy
development of our Metro
politan Area than the plan
ming Of adequate water and
sewerage plants for the years
to come. Major decisions will
be required on such subjects
as a dam, the Wolman pro-
posals for a recreation basin
at Washington, and methods
of eliminating the pollution
now disgracing our river.
Only an informed and in
terested citizenry can make
these decisions democratic
cally and push for their
implementation. Therefore,
articles such as George Bev-
eridge and John Stepp have
been writing in your paper
constitute a real contribution
to civic education.
The Citizens Council is
likewise contributing to such
education through its public
meetings. newsletters, and
legislative activity. Such an
organization needs mass sup
port to be most effective, of
course. 10 any of your readers

Church Must Keep Youth Active, Says Minister

SEATTLE, LR-The pastor of a Lutheran church in Anchorage who entered the ministry only a few years ago expressed concern Saturday over youth in the church and Christian evangelism in gen. eral.
 He is the Rev. A. Herbert Mjor- ud, who is here to conduct Bible and evangelistic conference at Denny Park Luthern Church.
 The Reverend Mjorud was cap tain of the 1883 national champion University of Washington crew; practiced law here, and was for merly president of the Seattle Fishermen's Coop Association.
 There is need for more evangelism by all churches" he declared. Churches also must have a definite program to attract young people and to keep them active.
 Primarily, youth must have a definite program to attract young people and to keep them active.
 Primarily, youth must be in- doctrinated into a sound Bible study. But a church program also must be geared to meet young peoples needs in fellowship, fun and recreation on spiritual basis"

Ocean Level Will
 Flood New York Physicist Predicts

SANTA MONICA, LR-A noted physicist predicts ocean levels will rise at least 40 feet and in unduate vast areas of the earth in the next 50 or 50 years unless atmospheric temperatures can be controlled.
 In a copyrighted story, the San ia Monica Evening Outlook Sat urday quoted Dr. Joseph Kaplan as saying this inundation could occur as result of accelerated melting of the polar ice caps
 Dr. Kaplan, professor at the University of California at Los Angeles and head of the US. Ma tional Committee for the 1857 International Geophysical Years, said the melting of the ice caps is being speeded by mans tremen- dous use' of oil and gas.
 "We're changing the earth's at mosphere" he said.
 The 54-year-old scientist said the burning of fuels is of such great magnitude, that discharged gases are creating a greenhouse" effect over the earth The gases are warming the atmosphere as | far up as IS or 16 miles, he said, and will have great effect on the arctic and antarctic ice masses. Should the oceans rise by 40 feet, their waters would roll thru part of New York City, downtown San Francisco, much of Florida, sections of Tokyo, and many oth- CT coastal cities.
 Dr. Kaplan said heat control Is the answer to the threat.
 We're now working on meth cd of controlling mans environ ment and the temperature of the world," he said. We've already fired rockets into the upper atmo- phere and discharged chemicals that affect the temperature of the atmosphere.
 "Control by man of the earth's weather and temperature is with l in the realm of practicality now. "The end result of our studies tof temperature controD will be more important to the survival of man than atomic energy"

fife sto,y and caNJ THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT PR o CT (see side of this page

one focused upon the great central strength of The Sermon on the Mount
 That conviction came out in letters from people in every walk of life, of very different circumstances and backgrounds, including some of the best informed leaders of the Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish faiths IT. wonderful cross section of human intelligence
 From time to time, certain papers still re- port that they are finding way to present the sermon page. Naturally we are very happy when they do. This now includes few pub fishers in Canada, Ireland, Wales, South Africa Australia, New Zealand. Sometimes they've repeated the page, and sometimes com mended this story to their readers or the schools. We know the page is being used at times, in one type of area or another, as lesson in the English language And some papers have actually translated it.
 In an important sense, we feel this sermon represents the strife and distilled wisdom of all the prophets of all time: Akhenaten, Moses, Zoroaster, Jeremiah, Confucius, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed; and others un- All along, their essential teachings have surely POIltSo tIlS way tO SdIlS GOlldult, WllIln tIlc universal discipline and challenge of God
 Men of science, and of faith in God, have now learned from Him great secrets of the earth; an accurate story of the vast extent of time and developing life, which we believe upholds His Kingdom, revealing His will for the full growth and happiness of mankind - as we cooperate.
 We believe The Sermon on the Mount is the greatest human charter, and We hope that this year larger interest than ever will be shown by the newspapers, for we feel that far too few people have ever seen this sermon.
 And 50 we ask and pray that it may be floodllghted-thru the most common medium of news and information. And when seriously explored and made use of, perhaps somewhat in the way we test and advance our vital dis ooyerles of chemistry or electricity or medicine, we believe the Sermon on the Mount can lead to the intelligent solution of every human problem, and offers great power for healing among the nations.

A WELL LOVED newspaper man (and { A proPhet) Will Rogers, sad this: Every one is ignorant, only not about the same thingsr There is surely one thing we all wish we were less ignorant about, and that is how to get along together better.
 The Sermon Project is built upon the belief tt there are certain we'll tested lessons, which should be brought before the public more often. The old expression, Peace on earth, good will toward men," makes people thirst for more good sense and peace of mind, at home and abroad.
 Turnout the world, many different theolo- gies have become rather complicated But it seems that most all of us can use little religion; perhaps just little would often do. And we believe that such basic training is the best way to disarm the evil genius on all sides of the oceans, and in all parts of town and country; to help everyone to live sensibly, to solve problems small and large and 50 help us to enjoy life more.
 With these things in mind, our committee planned the Sermon on the Mount newspaper page, and ran 1t in the New York Herald Tribune, December, 1850.
 The response was greater than we ex- pected, and in March, 1851, we appealed to the newspapers of the United States to print the sermon page from our engraved layout.
 Within few weeks about 145 publishers turnout some 40 states had mailed us copy of their newspaper for the day they had printed it. They had taken our suggestion: selling the page to an advertiser, organization, or group, or printing it themselves or jointly, as an educational public service.
 (We were grateful to all of the sponsors: churches, business industry, and to the Ameri- can press. And we wish to thank everyone responsible for printing this page in this paper today.)
 Reports to us from the newspapers, and again the peoples response, were extremely good. A few did criticize constructively, certain expressions in the text, which iusti- fled study and modification of these. A very few called us hypoorites, doers of pious good deeds in public!"

this tax yield is moving up fast

Hospital Gets Final
Ford Check

The Milford Memorial Hospital
has announced receipt of its final
check from the Ford Foundation
on it's grant to the hospital. Under
the Ford Foundations 5000, ,0O0,0 900
hospital program, which was an
nounced December IL, 1855, each of
more than 1920 voluntary non
profit, governmental hospitals
in the United States, Alaska,
Hawaii and Puerto Rico were eli
gible to receive grants. These
grants could be extended on any
program of Improvement or exten-
sion of hospital service, but not for
operating expenses for services
which were being performed by the
hospital at the time the grant was
announced. Programs might be for
any of the following three pur-
poses: /. Improvement of or ad-
dition to facilities or service. 2. Ad-
ditfons to or training of personnel.
3. Research. The foundation placed
very little restriction on the use of
the money as long as it fell within
these phases. The governing board
of each hospital was fully author
ized to utilize the money in a man
ner which they felt was most nee
essary according to the local situ-
alton. Fl. Rowan Gather, Jr., Chair
man of the Board of Trustees of the
Ford Foundation, stated at the
time of the original announcement,
"We hope that an important effect
of the grant will be to encourage
the citizens of every local COM
munity to give greater support to
the hospitals which serve them. The
Strengthening of our hospitals con-
tributes to the conservation of A
merica's most valuable asset-our
human resources"
In announcing receipt of this final
payment, Mr.. I. G. Burton, Presi-
dent of the Board of Directors of
the Hospital, stated, This grant
from the Ford Foundation has made
it possible for the hospital to build
a new laundry, expanding its old
facilities and provide very seri-
ously needed auxiliary power plant
for emergency use"
AT the present tllne CONSTRUCTION
on a new laundry building approx
imately twice the floor area of the
existing plant is nearing compile
tion. This facility will be able to
handis the laundry needs of the
present hospital on a much more
efficient basis than at present. 1t
will be equipped with some of the
latest machinery, while still re-
tanning much of the old equipment.
This entire program was possible
thru the Ford grant. The second
phase of the overall use of the
money is the emergency power
plant which is also nearing COM
pletion. In this program the Civil
ian Defense has pledged its finan-
cial support toward the total cost
in the amount of $4,000 This fa-
cility has been greatly needed in
case of any serious electrical
breakdown such as the one ex-
perienced at the time of hurricane
Hazel. This power plant is large
enough to operate all of the vital
needs of the institution.
