Our Pea for Unity at the
Church Of Christ

great emphasis given to religious
pageantry, ritualism, and elabor-
ate forms in many churches today
cannot but destroy the purpose of
worship. The appeal is to the sens
es rather than to the spirit. BY
following strictly the plan of wor-
ship given by Christ and the apos-
ties we can occupy a position broad
enough for all Christendom. Back
to the simplicity of the New Test
ament worship!
The Time Is Brief
Because the longest life is brief
l must be swift in keeping
The little trysts with kindness,
Before the time of tsleeping.
I must be swift in reaching out,
To those whose hearts are yearn-
ing;
o, swift indeed to love them much
Before the long roads turning.
Before a sudden summons comes,
l surely must be saying
The words that / have failed to
say
The prayers I should be praying.

In the view of Sylvia Porter,
the business and financial ana
lyst, the overwhelming percent
age of American homes are I'M
der-insured. She writes that a
home that was built for $4,000
in 1887 would cost $21, 900 today,
and that a $4,000 house erected
Just before World War II could
not be duplicated now for under
S1OO.5OO. An improvement job
that could be done for $4,000 in
1916 would cost $1,000 at the
present time.

Eisenhower Says Church Bombings
 Work Of Capone-Type Hoodlums

ter served II LudI SOIL u IlllllS 1o not indulged in.
 On a related matter dealing with this country's position re- garding defense of Quemoy, Els enhower said he does not decry any intelligent criticism of any particular point. But when it comes to policy, he said, that has been standing on it's own feet for long time.
 Politics - Eisenhower backed away from any October state ment by Republican leaders say ing the clear alternative to cleo ton of a Republican-controlled Congress is naturalization and so- cialization of American industry under the Democrats.
 Asked whether he subscribed to that statement, Eisenhower re- piled he had read the full state ment before it was made public and does not remember the exact language.
 The President said his recollec- ton is that the statement said the country could be led to the left and such a course could lead even tually to socialism.
 Eisenhower added crisply that in any event the statement about naturalization and socialization of industry was not his. With a trace of a smile, he said politicians do like to make things positive.
 Campaign Trip - As for the six-day campaign tour to the Midwest and Pacific Coast he will start Friday, Eisenhower said the itinerary has been arranged so that he can, through regional tele- vision and radio, reach the great est number of people possible in those areas. He made that state ment when asked why he is go- ing into such states as Iowa, Kan sas, Colorado and Illinois, where there are no U. S. Senate races, and is passing up Minnesota and Wisconsin where there are such races.

By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITHI

WASHINGTON, LR - President Eisenhower today angrily char acterized those responsible for bombings of places of worship as hoodlums of the Al Capone and Babyface Nelson type.
 At news conference the Pres ident spoke out vigorously against the dynamiting of Jewish temples in Atlanta, Ga, and Peoria, III.
 He did so after a reporter told him that some of those responsible apparently have been privately identifying themselves as mem bers of a confederate under ground"
 Addressing himself to that de- scription, Eisenhower said that from babyhood he has been taught to respect the Southern Confed- eracy of Civil War days.
 Then he said that for hoodlums to. describe themselves as any part of the Confederacy is complete insult.
 They should be described, he added angrily, as Al Capones and Babyface Nelsons, and that kind of hoodlums.
 Eisenhower also dealt with these other matters:
 Foreign Policy - He said en- phatically that foreign policy ought to be kept out of partisan debate in the current Congression- al campaign.
 hen he said that another man who has borne the responsibility of the Presidency - clear allu- sion to Harry. s. Truman = also has taken the position that for eign policy should be left out of partisan politics.
 Eisenhower made his remarks when newsman asked whether he subscribes to Vice President Nixon's campaign statement. made in reply to Democratic criticism, that "the Acheson foreign policy resulted in war and the Eisen- hower-Dulles policy resulted in peace"
 Eisenhower said he had not heard that quotation before. Then he added, without any direct com ment on the Nixon statement, that he does subscribe to the idea that foreign policy should be kept out of partisan debate.
 He said further that the coun- try's long term interests are bet

Gen. De Caulle Orders French Army Officers Get Out Of Algerian Politics
By ANDREW BoRoWEIc

ALGIERS, R - French Army officers yesterday reluctantly and bitterly obeyed Premier Charles De Gaulle's orders to get out of politics in Algeria
 The orders came down through the Algerian commander, Gen. Raoul Salan, who was himself the top figure in the right-wing army coup of May 13 in Algeria.
 Led by tough paratroop major general Jacques Massu, the II of ficers sitting on the Algerian com mittee of Public Safety, walked out yesterday morning after ex- blaming De Gaulle's orders to the civilian members.
 The Premier's order was de- signed to insure impartial parlia- mentary elections in Algeria with out Army interference.
 The civilians, headed by Mos lem Azam Quail, went into a closed session after the Army withdrawal. Shouts and table pounding could be heard outside.
 "It is not over yet" a commit tee member said later. "In few days France will see the repercus- sions of De Gaulle's authoritarian acts"
 A highly placed Army officer complained: "It is time De Gaulle started paying attention to the Army. We can't be treated like little boys. We will not always stand mute if De Gaulle wants to play hide and seek with the

Ike Says
 Dulles Is Right On Quemoy Issue
By JOHN M. HICHTOWER

WASHINGTON, U, - -Presi- dent Eisenhower today backed up Secretary of State Dulles in say ing the United States would not compel Nationalist China to cut it's forces on Quemoy and Matsu Islands.
 The President, however, did not bar the use of every possible per suasion by this country - on whose supplies Nationalist China is dependent IL to get the gar risons reduced
 Dulles told news conference Tuesday the United States wants President Chiang Kai-Shek to thin off-shore island garrisons as a military matter and not as 8 de- vice for trying to bargain with the Chinese Communists on Formosa settlement. The Reds won't bar gain on that issue, Dulles said.
 Eisenhower made it clear in re- sponse to several questions today that he had resolved before meet ing reporters to say as little as possible about the whole Formosa problem. He and Dulles appar- ently had agreed that it was much too delicate to risk upsetting Chiang or the Nationalist gov- ment or complicating efforts to get the Red Chinese to continue indefinitely their Quemoy cease l fire.
 Eisenhower was asked what he thought about suggestions that a popular vote be taken on Quemoy and Matsu to determine whether the people would rather stay with Nationalist China or join the Reds. He said he did not want to comment but he did not see much use in that idea.
 He declared on another ques- ton that he had not received any indication from Chiang that the Nationalist chief would be willing to cut his Quemoy garrison in re- turn for more modern and nu- merous weapons.

the Cubic Gas Field in the north ern sector of Alaska, parts of which were leased on bids, which brought in more than a half mil lion dollars for a comparative few acres.
 As the lease applications are processed and issued and as the old leases expire and must be renewed, Alaska's treasury will continue to receive dollars. The big money, however, is yet to come. That's from royalties on oil production.

Oil and Gas Lease Applications Cover
 Area of Nearly 34 Million Alaska Acres

ANCHORAGE, lR = OH and gas lease applications on more than 3315 million acres in Alaska - an area larger than the State of Pennsylvania have been filed with the Anchorage and Fairbankc land offices since July of 1857.
 The 15-month period since the discovery of oil on the Kenai Peninsula by the Richfield Oil Corp. represents the biggest rush for oil lands in the history of the nation.
 In the Anchorage land office of the Bureau of Land Management more than 19 million acres have been filed on potential oil-bear- ing land In Fairbanks the figure is somewhat lower, about IA mil lion acres.
 The 3315 million acres breaks down to roughly 52,330 square miles, which is an area larger than either of the states of Penn sylvania, South Carolina, Tennes- see, Mississippi, Louisiana, Vir- ginia, Kentucky and a dozen or so others.
 In revenues for Alaska, the oil and gas leases have provided one of the biggest money-makers on the territorial books - and they'll continue to do so when Alaska becomes state.
 About half of the acreage filed on has been leased, roughly 16 million acres. That represents about $3,7OO,O0O in revenues for the Territorial treasury, based on 90 per cent of the lease rev. enues received by Uncle Sam who now charges 50 cents ar acre. The old rate = prior tc last May ILL was 25 cents an acre
 The land office staffs have been increased in order to catch up on issuing leases and another six months should find the back logs substantially whittled down
 The 25 and 50-cent- land is only part of it, though, because some of the land is proven petro- leum acreage. That leases for g premium. An example of this is
