its whereabouts came toward
the end of January when the

cask would be unloaded at Pier

1,4OO Butchers on Strike
Chilean Envoy
To u. N. Robbed

NEW YORK, Feb. 13 (AP) .
The Chilean Ambassador to
the United Nations was robbed
tonight of 5000 by three men
who smashed their way into
his mid-Manhattan residence
and threatened to kill him. De-
spite their threats, they fled
without harming the envoy.
Ambassador Daniel Schweit-
ger told police the bandit trio
gained entrance to his East
73d Street home by breaking
the glass of the buildings

The men held their hands
in their pockets as though hold
ing weapons and demanded
$1,000. They threatened to
shoot him if he did not comply.
Mr.. Schweitzer said he
handed over 5000 and told the
men that was all he had. The
bandits grabbed the money and
fled.

Explorers Find Bodies
Of Flyers Lost II Years
BY the Associated Press

The desolate sands of a North
African desert have yielded up
the bodies of five members of
the Lady Be Good bomber crew
after nearly II years.
The four missing crewmen
may lie buried somewhere near
by in the shifting sand dunes
of the Libyan Desert.
The Air Force yesterday an
nounced an oil exploration party
found the bodies of five mem
bers of the crew that failed to
return from a World War II
bombing mission over Italy on
April 4, 1943.
They lay about IS miles from
the spot where the Lady Be
Goods almost intact frame was
discovered by chance 10 months
ago.
For weeks after the finding
of the bomber, an intensive
air and surface search was con-
Quoted for it's crew. 1t was
obvious the men either had
walked away from the plane
after it was forced down or had
parachuted from it as it was
heading back to its North Afri-
can base.
Clustered near the bodies Of
the five were pieces of equip
ment they had used in their
effort to walk out of the desert
.-canteens, flashlights, pieces
of parachute silk and harness,
fur-lined flight jackets.
Individual Identification of
the bodies was awaiting results
of analyses by an Army mortu-
ary team. But one bit of equip
ment may have given a clue to
the identity of one of the five
men.

covers by statute. These details
range from repossession con-
trols to required rebates for

A famous tree,

mia. The estimat-

tween $500 TO d. S 2@ @2s4'
600 years or almost back TO The
days Of Noah. The base of the
tree is 10I feet in circumference
and towers TO a height Of 272
feet las tall as a 16 story build
ing). The trunk contains
enough wood TO build 90 five
room houses. This is q wonder
that would be ordinary had
man not sinned. Sin has ruined
Gods creation and shortened
lives of trees as we'll as mans.
God has probably left few
trees like the General Sherman
TO serve as examples of what
this earth could have been.
However, God is planning a
new heaven and new earth
from which sin and sinners will
be barred. Cod is at present
recruiting people from among
the present population of this
earth TO inhabit the new earth.
(See Acts I5:l4.) These people
will never die. Little is told US
about Gods plans for this fu-
tUre new earth, but we are told
now we can enter into it. II is

First, it is necessary to remind
Americans, no matter what the

no such thing as federal aid for
anything without federal control
In fact. honest and frank social
lists admit openly that they want
federal education under the CON

But to Get back to that hint of
what federal control would mean.
A while back Congress passed a
law known as the National De

hand of the federal burcaucrat
into education at the college level.
But maybe it will turn out to be
a eood thing because it is in the
workings OF this act that we get
