Youthful Killers
Life Is Spared

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 7 (AP)
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
spared from Sing Sings electric
chair today an 18-year old
Puerto Rican-born youth whose
sentence for murder had stirred
much opposition despite public
outrage 21a years ago over the
youths crimes.
He committed the sentence
of Salvador (Cape Nam Agron
to life imprisonment, eight days
before the youth had been
scheduled to die for stabbing

Krzesinski, both 16, in a New
York City playground.
The Governor said he was
acting 'in the light of .
recommendations from the
court and from the prosecution,

Peril to Schools
In Kennedy Bill

NEW YORK, Feb. 7 CAP)
Francis Cardinal Spellman
said today that passage of
President Kennedy's $5.7 billion
Federal aid to education bill
would bring about the "even-
tual end" of the Catholic school
system.
The administration measure,
made public yesterday, excluded
any Federal aid to private or
church elementary and high
schools.
Cardinal Spellman, Arch
bishop of New York, has often
voiced disagreement with the
administrations stand.
Today's statement was one
of his most forceful On the sub

troll. Regulation procedures
spelled out in the law go far
beyond what is normal for
public utilities and common
carriers.
/ Powers of the corporation,
as outlined by Mr.. Kennedy,
would include:
FURNISHING for hire channels
Of communication to authorized
users, including the United
States Government: acquiring
and owning satellites, ground
terminals, and other facili-
ties conducting or con-
tracing for research and de-
velopment, and purchasing
satellite launching and related
services from the Govern
ment."
The National Aeronautics
and Space Administration
would supervise satellite de-
velopment work and would
launch booster rockets for the
company, being reimbursed for
costs. The Federal Communi-
cations Commission would pro-
vide regulatory functions as for
normal carriers. Where deal
ings with foreign governments
were necessary, the State De-
partment would be given super
viSory power under the law.
New Post Planned
I'm co-ordinating the efforts
of the various departments and
agencies" President Kennedy's
letter said. Il expect to rely
heavily on the Director of
Recommendations Manage
ment. a new post to be estab-
lished in the office of emerg-
ency planning to assist in
planning for and managing the
Recommendations resources
of the United States"
Approval of the measure
would apparently kill hopes of
the American Telephone g.
Telegraph Co. for a satellite
system of its own. The Bell
Systems hopes along these
lines have been waning in re-
cent months.

the Marines. touched on such
subjects as dialectical material

the necessity Of hating thei,

trick question in which they
were asked to identify a fictici-
Gus Chinese leader.
The test was given to 80 Off

Some Of the specific questions
as recalled by those taking the
quiz were:

What is the difference be-
tween a right-wing, conserva-
tive and fascist organization?
If you received more instruc-
ton about communism, would
it further motivate you to fight?
Do you hate. respect or fear
Russian soldiers?
Investigators said the test
followed the pattern of those
given In other services and, in
fact, was related in nature to
a survey made some time ago
by the Marine Corps itself.
Senator Thurmond, who ad-
vocates an improved indoc-
trination program for service
men, has referred to this
survey in several speeches and
quoted Admiral Robert B. Prize
as to the findings. According
to the remarks attributed to
the admiral. about half of the
Marine Corps recruits did not
know the meaning of the
Fourth of July. and only about
l in 10 can give a reasonable
comparison between the basic
characteristics Of communism
and the opposite concepts of
the free enterprise system.

At first, subcommittee mem.
bers and Pentagon officials
were reluctant to discuss the
matter to which Mr.. McNamars
referred graphically during his
meeting with the Senators.
A Pentagon spokesman would
only say that it was understood
there had been ain incident
involving the Marines and that
Senator Stennis had asked
Secretary Mcnamara to look
into the matter and report
back to the subcommittee. The
report. it was said, would be
submitted as promptly as pos
sible.
30 Marines Assembled
However, it was understood
the new controversy arose in
this way:
After Gen. Shoup appeared
before the subcommittee last
week, investigators called the
Marine headquarters and said
they would like to talk with
some Of the Marines.
A liaison officer, it was said,
told them they would be well
come and every cooperation
extended them.
A team Of investigators went
to the headquarters, informed

group of 80 or more Marines in

When Gen. Shoup learned of
the incident. according to re-

Gus protest. Secretary McNa-

the subcommittee attention.
Gen. Shoup was said to have
regarded the incident as an ef-
fort to discount Ms testimony
before the subcommittee. In
that testimony, he said the Ma
rines' training system had only
one objective-to produce COM
bat ready Marines to carry out
any mission assigned to the

He also testified that Ma.

dering States. he maintained.
Senator Backs Plan
Senator Smith, Democrat of
Massachusetts,, who spoke for
Senate conferees as chairman
of the Fiscal Subcommittee,
said the tax bill was worked
out in "a spirit of compromise.
There certainly was some
give and some take he added.
I'VE believe we have developed
a workabl program which will
be good for the District"
In this conference it ap-
peared there was considerably
more giving than taking by
Senate confereeS. But the adj
JuStments came on items all
added to the original House
sales tax bill by the Senate.
So, acceptance of any taxes
beyond the sales tax was a con-
cession for House conferees.
Perhaps the major obstacle
to earlier agreement has been
Senate opposition to the sales
tax and House residence to use
the Morse idea for winning $3.7
million annually in Federal
grants for schoolrooms over
crowded by children of Federal
workers.
Senator Morse was not a con-
fierce. But it was understood

ton with the Oregonian before

French officials looked for

plans for such a raid on the

the ability TO test strange con
cepts by the Holy Scriptures,
and see if they are the truth
of Gods Word, or opinions
and theories of men. Once we
can apply this test we will not
be led astray. We will remain
firm and steadfast, and hold on
to the truth which God has re.
vealed to the world through
Jesus Christ.
PETER WARNS AGAINST
BEING LED INTO ERROR
BY WICKED MEN. Peter ex-
horts his readers to be well
grounded in their faith and in
the truth of God. This truth
which they had received from
the prophets and the apostles,
was the basic foundation for
Christian steadfastness in their
beliefs. This exhortation was
necessary at this time of Pc.
ter's writing, because false
teachers were creating within
some disbelief in the second
looming of the Lord.
Peter told his readers to
hold on to their beliefs in the
coming of the Lord and in the
teachings of the Apostle Paul:
to remain Jealous and let the
Lord find them at peace with
God and with man, clean and
|blamelesS when He came. If
they remained firm in their be-
Iliefs they would avoid being
led -aStray by the errors of
those. wicked and false teach
|ers. They should keep busy
growing in the faith. This is
the only way they could re-
main Steadfast. Should they
leave basic and fundamental
teachings and beliefs they
would fall into error and de-
lterlorate. Christians today
must know what they believe
and remain steadfast in that
belief, SO they will not be
knocked from side to side bv
every wind and doctrine that
come along.
PRACTICAL NOTES ON
THE LESSON:
Our lessen this quarter will
deal with Basic Christian Be-
|liefs. The beliefs which will
be presented are fundamental
and essential to Christianity.
and include studies in the doc
trine of God, Christ, the Holy
Spirit, the Bible, Mans Re-
demption, the Church, Eternal
Life, Love, Revelation and
Discipleship. To each of these
subjects there is a distinctive
christian view which Chris
|tians should have and under
stand.
A sincere study of the lesson
materials will aid a lot in help
ing you to a better understand
ing and formulation of this
christian view. What a Chris
ltian believes make a differ
|ence in his life and in his wit
messing. Therefore belief is
essential for the Christian,
but not belief in anything. 1t
does matter whether he be-
|lieveS in God or not, for belief
ps essential to his acceptance
with God. Belief in Christ is
the basic of his salvation
Christians must walk upright
before God. Beliefs in action
will make it possible for us to
move many mountains in our
Lives.
