Evangelistic
Church Meets
Trouble In Italy
ROME, </P—Italian police de
scended Saturday upon Rome’s
Church of Christ, chiseled its
name off a wall and took a news
cameraman of the Associated
Press into custody for photograph
ing them.
They only ordered an AP cor
respondent away from the scene.
The word “CHRIST” in six
inch-high letters, was the first
word removed in this action
against the Protestant religious
organization, which has American
financial backing.
TherRoman police struck quick
ly after worshipers were forced
to leave a Church of Christ in
Leghorn late Friday night.
AP Photographer Remo Nassi,
an Italian citizen, was seized with
his camera and hustled off in a
police car despite protests. The
AP correspondent, Allan Jacks, a
U.S. citizen, was ordered to leave,
but refused.
The police left as soon as the
name had been entirely removed
from the wall.
Later Nassi was released with
out charges and his camera was
re*urned.
Just two days ago, the Vatican
anti the Italian Government cele
brated the 25th anniversary of the
La cran Pact:'.. The pacts establish
th . ■ ' olic r ■ ’ : gioi as the
says "aii religious coniessions are
equal before the law.”
Last month. Dr. Cline Rex Pa
den of Brownfield and Lubbock,
Texas, who first organized the
Church of Christ in Italy, visited
the United States to report on
what he called “continued diffi
culties" of the evangelical church
in Italy.
A U.S. Embassy spokesman said
the embassy deplored misunder
standings that have arisen be
tween the church and Italian
authorities.
The Church of Christ has been
endeavoring for several years to
obtain judicial recognition as a
religious cult from the Italian
government, but has thus far
failed to obtain it. Such recogni
tion would enable it to function
more freely.

Capacity Crowd
Attends GOP
Lincoln DayDinner
The Nome Republican Club
Friday sponsored a Lincoln Day
celebration with a banquet at the
Bering Sea Club. A capacity
crowd of around a hundred Re
publicans and their friends atten
ded.
This hundredth anniversary of
the founding of the Republican
Party was keynoted by an address
by William Angell, who called to
mind the four freedoms—worship,
speech, publication and assembly
—and warned that the Roosevelt
freedom established in January,
1941, freedom from want, has led
to wishful thinking and dangerous
confusion of economic guarantees
with political freedoms.
All relief, said Angell, should
be in the hands of the government
without party connections as “no
party should be able to capitalize
on humanity and perpetuate itself
in power by claims that are polit
ically and economically false.”
He stressed the importance of
the unity of the leaders of the
Republican Party in working out
a constructive program.
Angell closed his remarks most
appropriately with words of Lin
coln:
“The dogmas of the quiet past
are inadequate to the stormy pres
ent. The occasion is piled high
with difficulty and we must rise
with the occasion, as our case is
new, so we must think anew and
c: anr-w. We must disenthrall
ourselves.
Musical entertainment was fur
nished by Robert Heath with two
vocal solos, accompanied by Mrs.
W. Cameron, and a piano duet by
Douglas and Dianne Lee.
The program closed with a spe
cial film with an address by Eis
! enhower to the Republicans of
America.
The club was appropriately dec
orated with the Red, White and
Blue, centered with a large poster
of President Eisenhower.

Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
Moving along our journey east
ward from Andromeda, we come
to a very interesting group of star.>
called the Pleiades or the “Seven
Sisters.” This group has been no
ticed in all ages by nearly all
races of men.
Because they are very conspicu
ous in the southern sky at the
present time, they will give us
pi'oper orientation for continued
study of the skies.
The Pleiades are a very com
pact cluster of six stars and, being
a good 'test of eyesight, many
more have been seen when atmo
spheric conditions are favorable.
The Pleiades have been wor
shipped, temples have been erec
ted to them and calendars regu
lated by their position in the
past pagan ages. They are among
the astronomical objects men
tioned in the Bible (Job 33:31).
Near the end of winter the polar
caps on Mars are noticeably larger
and they gradually shrink in size
till the end of summer.
This remarkable change has
been oberved since Herschel’s
time.
Alaska Public Works Head
Resigns Because Of Lack
Of Enough Qualified Help
JUNEAU, UP)—Alaska Director
of Public Works Donald A. Wilson
announced Friday he has sent his
resignation to the Office of Terri
tories, Interior Department.
He said “several reasons” im
pelled his action, the foremost of
which is the lack of sufficient en
gineering and architectural per
sonnel in his office. He asked that
Feb. 26 be his last day on the job.
Wilson has held the post of di
rector three years. He came to
Alaska in 1943 with the 177th
Engineers Regiment. Later he be
came regional director in the ter
ritory for the War Assets Admin
istration and then city manager
at Anchorage from 1948 to 1950.
