khrushchev Warns
Of Huge ToIIinW
But Declares
He'sWiIIinq
ToNeqotiute

MOSCOW, Aug. IL (AP)-
Premier Khrushchev, in a
shouting and arm waving
speech. declared today hun
dreds of millions of persons will
die if a new war is touched
off.
But in almost the same
breath he reiterated that he is
ready to negotiate and well
coined President Kennedy's ex-
preston of hope for a peaceful
solution in Germany. 1--WE be-
lieve common sense will win,"
he said. /
Also the Soviet Premier in,
sisted that the United States
respect the Soviet Union as a
great power mot afraid of any
threats"
At Friendship Rally" {.
Following up his declaration
that hundreds of millions will
die if a new war is set off, he
said Western leaders who claim
that only several million will
die are talking nonsense.
He made the declaration at
a friendship rally" in the
Grand Kremlin Palace for Ro-
manian Communist Party Boss
Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, who
has been visiting the Soviet
Union since July 81.
Mr.. Khrushchev said talk
about low casualty figures is
imperialist propaganda to pre-
vent the Soviet Union from
taking action on the German
question. He reiterated his in
tention of signing a peace
treaty with East Germany.
I'VE shall, of course" Mr..
Khrushchev said, Sign a peace
treaty with Germany"
Cites Fanfani's Visit
He shouted that Lies and
shouts" on the part of the West
will not stop the Soviet Unionk
For example, he said, the roar$

frighten anyone.
The imperialists, he said,
have short hands, Russian
expression for somebody who
has very little power.
Mr.. Khrushchev said the laws
of war are terribly cruel" and
then mentioned the recent
visit to the Soviet Union by
Premier Amintore Fanfani Of
Italy. He said he asked Mr.
Fanfani where the North At
lantic Treaty Organization
rocket bases were located In
Italy and, according to Mr.!
Khrushchev, got the reply that
they were located in orangs
orchards. ,
Mr.. Khrushchev said this
Soviet people like Italian
oranges but that If war came
and Italy is "pushed"' against
the Soviet Union. he would no4
hesitate to send rockets rain4
ing on the orange orchards Of
Italy.
Ridicules United States
He said the same thing would
happen to other small countries
that harbor NATO bases, such
as Greece and Norway.
The Soviet premier departed
from his notes at this point and
launched into a table thumping
display of diSdain and ridicule
directed at the United States.
President Kennedy. he said,
is having a difficult time reas-
sessing his nations values.

East Germany's rubber stamp
Parliament in East Berlin by
Foreign Minister Lothian Bolz
and Deputy Premier Willy
Stoph.
The Parliament approved a
resolution indorsing all meas
ures already taken to stop the
flight of refugees. The vote
was unanimous, as always.
The resolution also welcomed
the recent statement Of the
Communist Warsaw Pact coun-
tries calling for a peace treaty
without delay. But it added
nothing about negotiating it.
Meeting This Fall
Mr.. Bolz said the Foreign
Ministers of the Soviet bloc will
meet late in the fall-exactly
when or where he did not say
to study treaty proposals and
presumably agree to them.
Mr.. Khrushchev has de-
manded peace treaties with
East and West Germany. Since
the West is firmly against
signing a treaty with anything
but a reunited Germany, it
appeared the projected confer
ence would draw up a treaty,
the West would reject it and
then Mr.. Khrushchev would 60
ahead and sign it before the
end of the year, as promised.
AS part of the campaign
against the West on Berlin,
Mr.. Khrushchev named Mar
shall Ivan 8. Konev, former
military commander Of the
Warsaw pact and one Of Rus
sia'S top soldiers, to command
Soviet forces drawn up against
the West in Germany.
News Played Down
The Communist press made
no fuss about the appointment.
Neues Deutschland, the off,
cial party organ, carried the
one-sentence report in bold
type, on page one, under q
small headline.
This way of playing the news
was in accordance with the
Communist line that the West
is making threats, but that
there will be no war. The ap-
pointment of Marshal Konev-
who was said to have retired
more than a year ago for rea-
sons of health-may be de-
signed more for its effect on
the West than on sentiment
in the Communist area.
Mr.. Bolz told Parliament
Berlin would remain a free city
but under Communist defini-
ton this would mean with
drawal of Western garrisonS
posted against such Communist
devices as Spontaneous dem
onstrations."
With Berlin in Communist
hands, East Germany would
be virtually sealed off from the
West and its people would be
unable to flee.
Mr.. Stoph warned that new
measures might be taken to
stop the refugee flow, now
approaching 100000 for this
year, and he limited they might
be taken even before a peace
treaty is signed.

2 Yes, The Bible Is \
IA CONFUSING Book! A

This statement will shock those
who feel qualified to interpret the
Scriptures for themselves. N
They may reply that anyone
honestly seeking to search the
Scriptures" will have the infallible
aid of the Holy Spirit.
But how can this be true when
equally sincere people. all pre-
sumabIy aided by the Holy Spirit
arrive at conflicting conclu-
sionS? How can it be true when
doctrinal differences divide nomi-
nal Christians into numerous
sectS? How can it be true when
eminent scholars disagree sharply
on basic Bible questions?
Scholars who devote their life
time to the study of the Scriptures
are the first to admit the difficult
ties that beset them. They know the
inspired writings are not the clear
and easy guide to Christian under
Standing that so many seem to
think. If they were so clear and
easy to understand, there would be
no need for scholarly inquiry - no
excuse for a divided Christianity.
The mere words of the Bible do
not always accurately reflect the
meaning of their authors. They
must be understood in the light
of the times in which they were
written B.. in a knowledge of the
symbols and language forms they
employed and with a recogni-
ton of the need to determine what
was meant to be literal and what
was meant to be fgurative. Who
of us has this required knowledge?
The earliest Bible manuscripts,
in fact, could have been confusing
even to the people of those times.
The Old Testament writings -
largely in Hebrew had no spac-
ing between words, no vowels in
PRE- M E
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-08-06

the text, no punctuation and no
capitalization. The vowels had TO
be supplied from memory! SPac-
ing of words or the insertion of
various vowels could markedly
change the sense of the words.
But in those times the faithful
did not attempt to interpret Scrip
ture for themselves. For the
Jewish people in the pre- Christian
era, the Synagogue was their voice
of spiritual authority; and the Old
Testament was preached to them
by the RabbiS and fathers of their
faith. In like manner, the Catholic
Church was the custodian of the
inspired writings of the New
Testament; and its priests and
teachers were aurhoritatively
preaching the New Testament
Gospel nearly four centuries be-
fore these writings were collected
into single book and formally
declared to be inspired. X
Today Catholics the world over
still listen to only one authorita-
tive voice - the Church - in the
Interpretation of Gods Word. If
