Mr.. Nixon's Trip to Denmark

First choice Of the board
was known to be former Pres
ident Eisenhower who de-
clined, saying his doctors did
not approve the trip. Gen.
Eisenhower will visit Europe
later this summer, spending
part of his time at his castle
in Scotland.
Mr.. Nixon will emphasize
his political position by first
visiting Washington and then
taking part in an all-Repub-
lican conference at the Eisen-
hover farm in Gettysburg.
This insures his departure
taking place amid a spate
Of campaign publicity.
Am b sSad dor Knuth-
Winterfeldt will be aboard
the same plane. He has been
earnestly explaining to his
friends in the administration
that this is pure coincidence
as far as he is concerned.
Even a career ambassador
abroad would be mildly con-
fused at finding himself con-
fronted in an official or
Semi-official capacity by an
aggressive candidate against
an incumbent member of the
Presidents party.
Ambassador Blair was
Adlai StevenSon'S right-hand
man in two campaigns
against the Eisenhower
Nixon ticket. The Nixon
charge that Mr.. Stevenson
was "a graduate Of Dean
Acheson's college Of cowardly
Communist containment"
and similar compliments are
naturally engraved upon his
heart.

ROME.-Is the United
States Government really in
such financial distress that
the State Department had to
order cancellation of Fourth
Of July festivities in all for
eign capitals because Of lack

This question was asked by
Americans abroad who are
dismayed that they can no
longer gather to celebrate
their country's birthday on
American soil-the grounds
Of their own embassies. This
order for. strict economy"
was issued last year by the
State Department after Con-
gress turned down the request
to boost substantially the en-
tertafnment allowances of the
United States ambassadors.
Last year, the first under
the celebration ban, most
Americans could at least en-
joy sponging on the Philip
pine diplomatic missions.
Now, as a demonstration Of
the cooling-off Of relations
between Washington and Ma
Mia, the birthday party Of

country declared itself free

DAVID LAWRENCE

Whether or not the latest
Supreme Court decision on
the subject Of an official
prayer in the public schools
Is Soundly based, it has
brought sharply to the fore
ground q discussion Of the
whole subject Of Government
financing. directly or indi-
reetly, Of any institution or
activity which relates even
remotely to religion.
The main ruling Of the
court was on a narrow ques-
tion-that is. whether a
State can direct that a par
tlcular prayer be recited,
even though the prayer is it
self general and "denomina-
tionally neutral" The issue
was whether the State has a
right to dictate to the
schools any form Of prayer.
II 1t does have such discre-
ton. then one day the prayer
might be neutral. and an
other day some other prayer
with UNCONVENTIONAL over
tones might be ordered by
the State board Of educa-
ton.
But although the Supreme
Court decided only that no
State could direct any Off
cial prayer, there was a con-
curing" opinion by Justice
Douglas which is bound to
attract Nationwide atten-
ton. What Mr.. Douglas said
Is known as "dictum" and
has no bearing on the ruling
itself, even though ne con-
CURED in the result.
The big question is wheth-
er Mr.. Douglas views will
be shared by other members
OF the court and whether a
majority will ever join with
him In putting into q ruling
the point Of view which he
has Just expressed.
1T is customary" wrote
Justice Douglas, Gin deciding
q constitutional question to
treat 1t in its narrowest form.
Yet at times the setting Of
the question gives it a form
and content which no abb
stract treatment could do.
The point for decision is
whether the Government can

ligiouS exercise. Our system

fornia candidacy represents
his effort to make a political
comeback.
1t seemed curious to Wash
ington that in the midst of
his campaign against the in
cumbent Democrat, Gov. Pat
Brown, he should appear to
have been chosen by the adj
ministration to represent this
country abroad. Who actually
Is responsible for the I'M
adorned phrase, represent
the United States,"-the AP
or Mr.. Nixon-is unclear.
For the truth is that Mr..
Nixon and his family were
invited to make the trip by
a personal friend and sup
porter, T. H. Knudsen, a Los
Angeles businessman, acting
for the Rebild National Park
Board. a private corporation
incorporated in the State of
Illinois. The board is dedi-
Gated to the support Of the
Jutland Park, where, since
1912, Denmark has celebrated
the American independence
Day, the only foreign coun-
try to do so.
Just how the selection of
Mr.. Nixon came about, the
New York advertising firm
handling the boards account,
could not explain. Most mem
bers of the board. including
the secretary, Borge Rising.
a West Virginia stNel opera
tor, are said to be in Den

To Americans abroad this
is a blow not easily under
stood. Patriotism in its ex-
erior manifestation is
stronger in those compelled
to live abroad. Moreover. the
Fourth of July has always
been the only occasion when
the little fellow" who works
for American interests in
foreign countries has a
chance to shake the hand of
the ambassador and feel the
pleasure of being on Ameri-
can soil for q few hours.
AS a rule, Americas In

family affair without frills

The cost seldom exceeded a
few hundred dollars in most
areas, and where the Ameri-

than $4,000. There also used
to be official dinners given
by the American ambaSSa-
dor for Government officials
and chiefs of mission of the
diplomatic corps. An ambas-
sador would have to spend
his own money for these
festivities for the prestige of
his country. His entertain
ment allowance will no long
er cover these dinners. The
Fourth Of July is obviously
no longer regarded by the
State Department as neces-
Sary.

So completely is attention
focused on the possibility Of
nuclear war that the growing
success Of Soviet use Of oil
to influence political deci-
sions in un d er d ev e Hoped
countries has gone all but
unnoticed. MoScow's latest
success in this area is in the
beautiful. but poor, island
nation Of Ceylon.
Within the span of a few
months the economy of Cey-
lon has become almost wholly
dependent on Russia, because
Of one of those many-sided
barter deals which the Soviet
traders delight in making.
Ceylon, which has been a
recipient of United States
aid. recently took over for
eign-owned oil company
properties-tanks, refineries,
and service stations. One
British and two American
companies were involve d.
There was-and is-a promise
to compensate these COM
panies. There also is an Of
fetal offer to buy oil from
any company in the world
which will meet competitive
prices. Meanwhile, no pay
ment has been made on the
properties, and the Russians
are doing all the oil business.
The Soviet method is sim
pie. Ceylon has made five
year contracts to purchase oil
from Romania, Russia and
the United Arab Republic.
Prices are "a good deal
lower" than those at which
the British and American
companies had been import
ing it. Nor will the Ceylonese
government need to use
money-at least, not for some
time. Ceylon sells tea, rub
Der, and coconut products,

RESTAURANT SIT-INNERS
FREED IN ST. LOUIS COURT

st. Louis (ANP) - Thirteen
CORE members involved in a sit
in demonstration January 26 at
the Toll House restaurant, in sub
urban Webster Groves were found
not guilty of trespassing on priv
ate property. The case was heard
by Municipal Judge Joseph J. Fftz-
henry, Jr.
Joseph Washington, chairman of
the st. Louis County CORE group.
stated that after a series Of un-
successful negotiations with the
proprietor Of the restaurant, CORE
began a direct action program of
sitting-in at the Toll House res
taurant. On January 26 the inter-
racial group Of 13 persons entered
the restaurant and took seats and
refused to leave until served.
In his arguments on behalf of
the CORE group, Atty. Charles r.
Oldham contended that for the
city of Webster Groves to twist
a legitimate ordinance, such as the
trespass ordinance, for the purpose
of enforcing a policy of racail dis
elimination, would be grossly lille
gal. He pointed out that such ,un-
just applications of such laws had
always been nullified by higher
court ruling in Missouri.

ZION BAPTIST

Cup Of Sorrow Becomes Cup Of
joy, was the sermon delivered by
Rev. ]. r. Holloway, pastor Of Zion
Baptist Church Communion Sun
day, April 1, using Matt. 26: 20
20 as a scriptural background.
Mr.. Samuel Robinson, guest
soloist from Pilgrim Baptist
Church sung What a Friend We
Have In Jesus, stirring our hearts
souls and minds in tune for the
sermon.
The minister's sermon was based
on the Bible story Of the last sup
per and how Judas betrayed
Christ for thirty pieces of silver.
Rev. Holloway stated that life Is
set so that sooner or later every
person must drink the bitter cup
of sorrow as Judas, one Of Christ's
followers, did after he betrayed
Christ. His heart was so heavy
with sorrow that he repented him
self and brought the thirty pieces
of silver back to the chief priests
and elders, saying, II have be-
trayed the innocent blood. But
the priests and elders would not
take the silver back and return
Christ.
Afterwards, Judas went out and
hung himself. The pastor went on
to say, that as we travel through
this world doing what we want to
do through life, the time is COM
ing when we have to drink this
cup Of Bitter Sorrow. Even those
of us who feel we have done the
best we can to follow in Jesus
footsteps have to drink this cup
of bitter sorrow that rains on the
just as well as the unjust. This
is the point where most Christians
become disturbed. But as we
Christians drink this cup there is
an opportunity that this cup Of
sorrow becomes a cup of joy.
AS we travel along the road Of
sorrow and disaster and feel that
we cannot make 1t we must realize
that all power is in Gods hand
and that God is with us in every
thing we do. When we feel the
that God Is walking by
our side He can change this cup
of Sorrow for a Cup Of Joy.

PILGRIM BAPTIST

Worshippers at Pilgrim Baptist
Church, st. Paul, heard DR.. Mas
sey preach from the subject: THE
Weak Judge and Jesus. The min
lister took his text from select
verses of John 1S & 10. Prior to
the sermon, Mrs. Jeanne Brans-
ford narrated the Children's Story.
She utilized the story Of George
Washington Carver to illustrate
the Importance Of meekness and
humility.
Concerning the death Of Jesus
on the Cross, DR.. Massey charged
that 1t was a misuse of the judi
cial term trial" Eight hours
after his arrest He was hanging
on the Cross. DR.. Massey COM
pared that type Of Justice to that
being meted out in Mississippi,
Georgia, Alabama and other deep
south states, today.
The minister continued that
PLATE was weak but made an at
tempt to administer a feeble JUS
tice. The reason for this was be-
cause he could not risk disfavor
with Ceasar. PLATE deliberately
condemned Jesus to further his
own cause. DR.. Massey compared
Plate to many of us we are
Fence Straddlers". When moral
factors come together with earth
factors we have a clash. The min
lister concluded that we must
choose between the material or the
spiritual. We can i'll afford to zig
gag between the two.
After the sermon the Ordinance
of Communion was observed, and

tended to new members. Uniting

fered prayer.
Then Pastor L. c. Harris took
his text from Tim. 2: 3. Subject
Characteristic of a Faithful Sold
ier.
This was Paups letter to his
son Timothy, and the purpose Of
this letter was to exhort Timothy,
to be strong because he was en-
tering into the army Of the Lord,
to fight against sin and Satan
and the Apostle Paul. He Is warn
ed to guard himself against con-
troversies and to govern his own
conduct carefully.
Our Pastor brought out the diff
ference between a natural soldier
and a Christian soldier, and that
both soldiers must endure hard
ness.
He also stated a soldier Is one
that wars against his adversary
and fights to protect his country
from being destroyed or captured
by his foes. A soldier who is called
to fight must be allied with one
side or the other. A Christian
soldier must fight against sin, but
everyone that unites with the
Church does not make Christian
Soldier. Jesus said, IF you are
not for me, you are against me-.
Those are some of the thoughts
Rev. Harris brought in his mes
sage Sunday morning.
