Americans agree completely with it.
Senator Morse is anything but an isola-
zionist, anything but a man who is
against "furrinerS," anything but foe
Of international cooperation. His words
are therefore doubly impressive, eSpe-
cially so because he has uttered them as
member Of the powerful Senate Foreign
Relations Committee.

troll of a saint, the logged
perseverance of q cart horse,
and the obstinate determine
ton of a mule. OF course no
minister has all these quail
ties at the beginning but
God has a way of meeting
ones needs as they arise"
And now in the sanctuary
under the Spire there arises
one Of the master preachers
Of the century, DR.. Harry
Emerson Fosdick, who knows
as much about preaching as
any man alive. Hear We
him -" The minister's bust
ness is not merely to discuss
repentance but to persuade
people to repent, not merely
to debate the meaning and
possibility of Christian faith
but to produce Christian
faith in the lives Of his lis
teners, not merely to talk
about the available power Of
God to bring victory over
trouble and temptation, but
to send people out from their
worship with victory In their
possession. A minister's task
is to create in his hearers
the thing he is talking
about"
And now as being dead he
yet speaketh, we are ready to
call on Senator Kerr to pray
for his pastor. And as a SEN
ator prays. let us pray that
his petitions may find fervent
response in the hearts of
thousands of laymen who
with bowed heads listen. The
voice now is that Of Senator
Kerr:
Our Father, let me be a
pillar OF strength to help hold
him up and not a thorn in
his flesh to sap his strength,
nor q burden on his back to
pull him dotDn.
Let me support him NTH
out striving to possess him.
Let me lift his hands NTH
out placing ShdckleS around
them.
Let me giDe him help that
he may denote more time in
lDorking for the Sdludtion OF
Others and less in gratifying
my PANTY.
Let me tDork for him as
the pastor of all the members
and not compel him to spend
precious time in Dragging on
me.
Let me be unSeltiSh In
i0hGt I do for him and not
selfish in demanding that he
do more for me.
Let me strive to serUe him
and the church much, and
be happy, as he serves me
less and the church and
Others more.
Amen,

This is just a little thing to the

actions of Johnny King. We can
see this in any bowling alley from
any bowler. We tune in so we can
see the ball in action as it leaves
the bowler and the follow through

With all IA buses In service,
the minibuses will run every

The minibus experiment has
attracted Nationwide interest

cause it will offer the only
nickel fare in the country.
The system is designed to help
revitalize downtown by helping
passengers with many packages
make quick trips between stores,
parking lots and offices.
As q special status symbol to
separate the nickel riders from
the more common run-of-the-
mill ascent bus riders, the bus
stops for mini" will have spe-
cially designed signs.
They will be round, with
orange and white vertical
stripes, q green border and q
green silhouette Of a mini" :
The minibuses thus will carry
the colors Of D. c. Transit
System, Inc. green, orange
and white. This Is because
D. c. Transit is contributing
most Of the local money for
the $4,000 project. which is
receiving q Federal grant from
the Housing and Home Finance

A cartridge case for a ~
cahber bullet was found Thurs
day in q yard at 212 South
Fairfax street a block away
from the murder scene by an
unidentified man. The casing
was not turned in to police un-
til yesterday. Mr.. Powers was
shot in the left temple with a
p bullet.
Police have found several toy
guns as well as a stolen news
paper stand in their search Of
the nine-block area around the
Powers home but thus far have
not turned UP the murder
weapon.
Laboratory analysis by the
FBI disclosed that powder
burns we're found on Mr..
Powers head, indicating the
fatal shot was fired by some
one in the house rather than
by someone outside the open
window. The FBI was unable to
determine whether the bullet
came from a rifle or a pistol.
