Question-"Please. Is it true
that the devil can and did take
many forms. like a cat or such?
Where does 1t refer to this in
the Bible?"
Answer-There is nothing in
the Bible to support this belief
nor do I know any support
for it in Christian or Jewish
theology. Genesis iii implies
that the devil appeared in the
form Of a serpent but that is
the only such Biblical refer
ence.

gets Its name from King James
I Of England who authorized
its translation.
The story Of Susanna and the
elders has had q varied history
The old Latin version. prior to
the issuing Of the Vulgate ver-
sion by st. Jerome, placed this
little story Of two chapters al
the very beginning of the Book
Of Daniel. In the old Greek
Septuagint version 1t was q
separate book. In either case
it is regarded as an apocryphal
book.
The King James version did
not include the Apocrypha as
a part Of the Bible. This was
because these Books, while be-
ing part Of the Greek version
Of the Old Testament, were not
included in the Hebrew Bible
and had been excluded by the
so-called "Non- Hellenic" Jews
from their canon Of the Scrip
lures.
The committee which trans
lated the Revised Standard
Version Of the Bible has trans
lated the Apocrypha and it is
now being issued in a separate
volume. The story of Susanna
and the elders is included in
that volume.

ASSEMBLIES OF GOD
Evening star., 1961-12-08
BY PHIL THOMAS
star staff Writer

The Communist Party of the
United States pleaded not
guilty here today to a charge
OF failing to register as an
agent of the Soviet Union.
The plea was entered before
Chief District Court Judge
Matthew F. Mcguire by Wash
ington Attorney Joseph Forer
after the lawyer informed the
Judge that the party would
waive reading of all of the 12-
count indictment handed down
by a District grand jury last
Friday.
The judge then set a trial
date of February /, allowing
attorneys for the party and
for the Government the inter-
val in which to file pretrial
motions in the case.
On hand as the not-guilty
plea was entered was Gus Hall,
who has been identified as
general secretary of the Com
munist Party in this country.
Mr.. Hall Was served in New
York last Saturday with a copy
of the indictment.
Mr.. Hall refused to discuss
his status in relation to the
party. You can refer to me
as just dear old Gus Hail." he
told reporters.
MIR. Hall did release a state
ment charging that the In
ternal Security Act. which the
party is charged with violating,
"robs the people, the voters, of
the right of political choice in
these United States"
He said that registration re-
quired by the act is "degrad-
ing" and compels perjury, self
incrimination and confession of
a false guilt" And he said that
it is not true that his organiza-
ton is an agent of a foreign
power.
The party was indicted after
it had failed to meet a registra-

Reds Plead Not Guilty
To Registration Charge

ton deadline of last November
20. After officers of the party
failed to register before their
deadline November 80, the party
was indicted the next day.
Future Charges Possible
Future indictments against
the officers and members are
also possible. Members have
until December 20 to register.
The party is believed to have
about 10000 members.
If convicted, the Communist
Party could be fined $4,000
for each day of non-registra-
ton.
Appearing with Mr.. Forer this
morning was Attorney John L.
Abt of New York, but Judge Nc
Guire would not permit him to
enter an appearance in the case
at this time. The judge said
Mr.. Abt could enter at some
future time as the case nears
the trial date.
Mr.. Forer and Mr.. Abt have
represented the party during
it's past attempts to have the
Internal Security Act declared
unconstitutional. The Supreme
Court upheld the registration
requirements of the act last
June, and refused to reconsider
its decision last october.
Party Not Outlawed
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy has said that the law
does not outlaw the Communist
Party, but merely requires the
party to register as an agent OF
a foreign power.
However, the Communists
have protested that they face
prosecution under the 1850 In
ternal Security Act if they do
not register, or face charges
under the 1910 Smith Act if
they do register. The Smith Act
bans advocating violent over
throw of the Government.
