Khrushchev plans to test
bomb greater in strength
than any thus far known.
This may fill him with a
sense Of power; but power for
what, creating evil? The re-
wards for accomplishments of
this type are in evidence
throughout history. If this
weapon is exploded. the pos
Sible danger to millions all
over the world makes it diff
ficult to believe that any one
mans conscience is able to
bear such an awesome bur-
den.
AS a new mother am
filled with the awareness OF
the creation Of goodness. God
has brought new life into
a world where He has given
mankind the opportunity to
choose between good and
evil. The fresh innocence Of
a newborn baby is we'll
known to people of any color
or creed and in any country.
Khrushchev rose from this
state Of innocence to a posi-
lion where his decision be-
tween good and evil affects
far more than himself.
When I look down upon
the face OF my sleeping child,
/ feel, as parents the world
over feel, a love that tran
sends self-love. This love
unites humanity in a desire
10 give these men and women
Of the future the best we can
offer from the past and pres
ent. l want my child and all
children to grow up in
world where they can be proud
of the deeds of mankind;
where man has the intelli-
gence to learn from the past
and profit from its lessons.
Perhaps we don't have a
bomb as destructive as a So
megaton. We do have. how
ever, a far more effective
weapon against evil. We have
a faith which is worldwide
and indestructible. Nothing
created by man will ever
change this.

On the 10th anniversary Of
It's organization. the repre-
sentatives Of the United Ma
tions listened to a concert!
The most grave problems
that have ever existed in the
history of this world were be-
fore them for consideration
and remedial action. But they
listened to a concert. Once
again Nero fiddled while
Rome burned! A sad and pit
iful exhibition. And why is
this so? Primarily because Of
one nation. One nation whose
ideals are at complete vari-
ance with any concept Of true
freedom. self-government by
the people. and the doctrine
of universal brotherhood. and
whose main object in being
is world conquest by all
means Of ruthlessness and de-
ceit known to man.
This Nation seeks to block
all forward progress-and to
a very large measure accom-
plishes this purpose while. at
the same time. it furthers its
own cause. And what Of the
other nations represented in
the United Nations? They.
including the United States
of America. deplore and wall.
they try to propitiate. to
temporize. to compromise, to
use moral persuasion. all Of
which they know is useless.
They propose many things,
some of which embody SEN
Sible and constructive ideas,
but when the USSR says
no. they quit and run away
to lick their wounds and to
think up another proposal
which they know before they
start will suffer the same
fate as the prior one. Have
these nations no courage?
Can they not think and see
for themselves what is hap
pening? They see a great
octopus with it's tentacles
continually extending and
crushing other nations great
and small, or making impo-
tent those that they choose
not to destroy. And either
they do not fight back. or
they fail to use all the weap-
ons which are at their dis
posal, until it is too late.
The tentacles Of this octupus
can be Topped off, one by
one, and the main body of
the beast made helpless be-
yond it's own historic habitat,
if we have the will and the
intestinal fortitude to do it.
What is holding us back?
Fear nothing but simple.
stark, asoning fear!
