THE RIGHT SPIRIT
In Hibbing, Minnesota, five new stained-glass win
dows were recently presented to the Lutheran Church.
In itself, the addition of these stained-glass windows
to the church was not major news.
But behind the gift is a story that is heart
warming. These new windows were presented to the
Lutheran Church by Louis Bachnik, a Roman Catholic.
Bachnik had arranged for the purchase of the windows
to honor I. R. Sher.
Sher had been a beloved community leader, who
had first raised the money to buy a stained-glass panel
for the church. Recently, Sher died before being told
that Bachnik was presenting the stained-glass windows
to the church in his honor.
The rest of the story is also interesting. Sher is
a Jew. Thus, in the Hibbing, Minn., Lutheran Church,
windows given by a Catholic honor a Jewish civic
leader who first raised money to install a stained-glass
window in the Lutheran Church. This is the right spirit.
Secretary Wilson
(Continued from Page One)
ation the factor of prior publica
tion ' when deciding whether in
formation should be released. In
terpretation of the Wilson order
seems to mean information on a
weapon must not be released even
though the same information had
been published before and pre
sumably was read by the Rus
sians.
Wilson’s idea on this point, as
expressed at hi^ new conference,
was this: It is possible for some
one in the Defense Department to
put together a number of things
that may have been told before
in piecemeal fashion.
“But putting them all together
in a logical story gives an en
tirely different piece of informa
tion and, depending on who puts
it out, puts the stamp of authen
ticity on it—when before it was
maybe just a rumor.”

Olympic Group Ch ef
Warns Australians on
Readiness for Games
CANBERRA, Australia, Itfl—Av
ery Brundage, president of the
International Olympic Committee,
has warned Australians the 1956
Olympic games could be taken
from Melbourne if the city is not
ready in time.
Apparently unmindful of a
storm of protest swirling up over
his criticism of preparations for
the games, Brundage told a press
conference he had a cable in his
pocket from one city asking to
take over the gapies and said that
there had been requests from
others. •
We are not threatening to take
the games from Melbourne, for it
would be a big embarrassment to
us if that happened,” Brundage
said. He spoke after meeting with
Prime Minister Robert Menzies,
who he said was devoted to the
success of the Melbourne games.

Red Crackdown on
Traffic to West j
Berlin Looked For
BERLIN, (JP! — Communist-sur
rounded West Berlin looked today j
for a new Red crackdown on its
traffic with the Soviet Zone fol
lowing East German charges tha.
the Western powers have turned
the city into a spy center.
The East German cabinet last
night announced the arrest of 521
“Western agents” and the liquid
ation of ”a considerable number
of espionage and terror groups.”
It said there were being directed
from Allied-occupied West Berlin.
The Red regime said it would
take “all necessary measures” to
protect the East German state
from what it called the West’s
criminal activities based in West
Berlin.
West Berlin circles anticipated
the Communists would put new
restrictions on Germans moving
between the Allied part of the
city and the Eastern zone. Many
Germans live in one zone and
work in the other. Others visit
relatives or friends across the
borders.
The East German announce
ment said Communist secret pol
ice Ernest Wollweber's men had
seized 19 American - made radio
receiver^ and transmitters, arms
and ammunition, poisons and in
cendiary sets, special cameras,
forged passes and other equip
ment from the arrested “agents.”
Tens of Millions Of
Children To Get
Salk Polio Vaccine!
'By the Associate.- Press)
Doctors and health officials in
communities across the ‘nation,
cheered by success of the Salk
vaccine, today turned to the huge
task of inoculating millions of
children against dread polio.
Most local inoculation programs
were expected to get underway
within about a week of yester
day’s announcement that the vac
cine was a safe and potent pro
tection against the sometimes
crippling and fatal disease.
From city after city came re
ports that inoculations were
scheduled to start Monday or
sometime during the following
week. The earliest starting date
so far came from San Diego,
Calif., where authorities hope to
begin inoculating by Saturday.
There was no nationwide fig
ure on the exact number of chil
dren who will receive the protec
tive shots this year but the final
count will be in $he tens of mil
lions.
Inoculations for nine million
children are being provided by
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis which ordered
its supplies long before the test
results were available. This vac
cine is allocated to all first and
second graders, considered the
age group most vulnerable to the
disease.

Stevenson Criticizes Administration
Policy in Asia; Dulles Says Speech
Ignores Resources of Nationalists
Says U.S. Faces Retreat
Or Hazard of War
CHICAGO, Ufi—Adlai Steven
son says the United States has put
itself in a position in Asia where
it faces “another (imaging and
humiliating retreat, or else the
hazard of war.”
He called for a joint declaration
by the free nations condemning
the use of force in the 100-mile
wide strait between Nationalist
Formosa and Communist China.
The 1952 Democratic presiden
tial nominee, in a nationwide ra
dio broadcast Monday night said
a “dead-end policy” of the Eisen
hower Administration put the
United States in its present posi
tion in Asia.
* The adminstration’s “policy of
extravagant words” in the Far
Eastern situation, Stevenson de
clared, “has alarmed our friends
a good deal more than it has de
terred the aggressors.”
“The tragedy is that the possi
bility of war just now seems to
hinge upon Quemoy and Matsu,
small islands that lie almost as
close to the coast of China as
Staten Island does to New York,”
Stevenson said.
“ . . . I have the greatest mis
givings about risking a third
world war in defense of these
little islands in which we would
have neither the same legal justi
fication nor the same support as
in the defense of Formosa.”
He said the United States should
enlist both its friends and the
neutral nations in “an open dec
laration condemning the use of
force in the Formosa Strait.” He
said Russia also should be asked
to “declare its position.” He said:
“With such an international
declaration denouncing the use of
force; with such collective support
for the defense of Formosa; with
the addition thereby of moral sol
idarity to military strength in
Formosa, I should think Quemoy
and Matsu would have little fur
ther importance to the National
ists, let alone to us.”
Stevenson spoke on a nation
wide radio hookup provided free
as a public service by the CBS
and NBC networks. Friends said
he decided to give his views on
Far Eastern policy in response to
“hundreds of letters, telegrams
and phone calls.”

Dulles Says Policy
Not Based on Politics
WASHINGTON, LW—Secretary
of State Dulles said Tuesday that
Adlai Stevenson’s ideas about de
fending Formosa -parallel what
the Eisenhower Administration is
doing, except Stevenson would
ignore “the loyalty and resources”
of a principal ally, Nationalist
China.
“Mr. Stevenson seems to as
sume that the ally can be ignored
and rebuffed,” Dulles told a news
conference in a prepared state
ment.
Dulles sharply rejected Steven
son’s contention, in a speech Stev
enson broadcast to the nation on
Monday night, that America’s
Formosa policy is based “more on
considerations of domestic politi
cal expediency than foreign reali
ties.”
Dulles denied that domestic
politics played any part in U.S.
policy toward Formosa. He said
the policy is based entirely upon
his and President Eisenhower’s
judgment of the Far East situa
tion. '
Asked about another point that
Stevenson made, that the United
States call upon Russia to say
where it stands on Formosa, Dul
les replied he thought it inadvis
able to make a public approach to
Russia on the question.
As for carrying Formosa issues
to the United Nations, Dulles said
“We desire a United Nations
‘cease fire’ and have repeatedly
made that clear.” Stevenson pro
posed a resolution be submitted
by the United States to the U.N.
condemning any use of force to
alter its status.
Sen. George <D-Ga> said Tues
day such a step as asking the U.N.
General Assembly to condemn the
use of force in the Formosa Strait
is under consideration by the Eis
enhower Administration.
Howevef, Dulles said there was
i no contemplation at the moment
j of calling the U.N. General As
j sembly into special session. The
cease-fire proposal is on the U.N.
Security Council agenda, he add
,ed, and normal procedure is for
it to be disposed of there before
going to the 60-nation General
Assembly.
