World Trouble Spots
Briefed by Herter
WASHINGTON UP) — Secretary
of State Christian Herter gave
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee members a briefing on
world trouble spots today—Cuba,
Laos, Berlin and elsewhere.
“It was not a very encourag
ing review,” Sen. Albert Gore,
D-Tenn., said after the two-hour
closed session. Similarly, Sen.
John Sparkman, D-Ala., told
newsmen “it paints a bad pic
ture.”
However, Sparkman said that
Herter’s review was “pretty
much what we have been read
ing in the papers,” that the Sec
retary presented nothing essential
ly new.
Asked if Herter had outlined
any new steps to be taken to deal
with the Cuba situation, Spark
man said “no, I don’t believe he
did."

TOKYO — City tax officers
reported a well repaid offensive
in an all out attempt to collect
delinquent taxes. As a result of
a recent helicopter survey over
the city, there are nearly 88,000
homes which failed to report ad
ditions made to their original
buildings; and a report which is
required by law.
Little had these 88,000 home
owners possibly thought they
were being checked on by the
air, until the final report was
blazoned on the front page of
the Tokyo papers. Likewise, there
are many dwellings in the cities
and villages of this earth who
still fail to comprehend that the
Lord of Hosts “sees every living
thing” on the face of this earth.
“Thou God Seest Me”. Genesis
16:13. Job 28:24. How sad it will
be for many who have not made
a true report to God of their own
heart’s condition and their need
of Him. “Seek ye the Lord while
He may be found; call ye upon
Him while He is near.” Isaiah
55:6.
