HONGKONG, China — Con
struction on a specialized hospital
for opium addicts is progressing.
The authorities estimate that this
growing problem has increased to
where there are now over 250,000
citizens partaking in this illegal
traffic.
Hongkong is the only remain
ing part of mainland China which
is still free. Yet, even if this area
is still free from the clutches of
the Peoples’ Government, how
free is it? How sad it is to be
held in such a vise, the vicious
habit of dope, which is the de
stroyer of both body and soul.
It is good that Hongkong is pro
viding a hospital for the treat
ment of these victim’s bodies. It
is also grand that the Lord has
provided for their souls’ need . . .
for the Light of the Gospel is
still shining in that area. There
are many missionaries and other
Christians residing there now,
who have left Red China. Surely
. . . The Saviour is still “able
alsci to save them to the uttermost
that come unto God by Him.”
'Hebrews 7:25).

2 Fishermen Lost
In Grays Harbor
Rescue Attempt
WESTPORT, Wash., UR — Tra
dition was tempered with tragedy
for a fishing boat and two of its
three crewmen on the storm
tossed Pacific Ocean off the
southwest Washington coast
Thursday night.
The fishermen stayed in dan
gerous, turbulent waters to aid
four Coast Guardsmen in a dis
abled patrol boat. The fishing
boat sank. Two of its crewmen
vanished into the churning sea.
The drama began when the
fishing vessel Barbara Lee called
tor help to get through huge
swells at the narrow entrance to
Grays Harbor. All day, winds up
to 55 miles an hour had raked
the coast.
The Coast Guard sent the 52
foot patrol boat Invincible to
guide the fishing boat across the
bar. It was a familiar procedure,
the Grays Harbor bar is treach
erous for small craft at all times.
Suddenly a monstrous wave
knocked the Invincible bottom
side up. The boat slowly righted,
but its engines were dead. One
of the four men aboard took a
bad cut.
The 30-foot Barbara Lee stood
by in the rain and wind. It threw
a line aboard the Invincible. The
line broke. It tried to attach
another.
Then a mountain of water en
gulfed the Barbara Lee. First the
fishing boat’s smokestack and an
tenna were swept away; then it
sank. The Invincible got one fish
erman, Harold Pernula of Cordo
va, aboard. The others, skipper
Robert Bolam, and crewman Ted
Sigardson, were nowhere to be
seen.
Two other Coast Guard boats
prowled the stormy waters in the
hope that the men might be found
bobbing about in life jackets. The
Coast Guard sent an airplane, but
foul weather forced it back. The
sheriff’s office ordered the beach
patrolled in case the men were
washed ashore.
The Coast Guard sent a larger
I boat, the cutter McLane, to take
I the Invincible in tow.

; Zero’ In Attempts to
Procure Indiana Dunes
WASHINGTON, UR — Efforts
to get the Bethlehem Steel Co. to

posed a compromise to the steel
company. “They won’t yield an
inch.”
B. D. Broeker, secretary of
Bethlehem, said the company

Protestants Protest
Kennedy Subject
To Papal Influence
NEW YORK, Iff) — Two major
Protestant magazines • say they
believe Sen. John Kennedy, if
elected President, would be sub
ject to restrictions of the Roman
Catholic Church.
The magazines, the Christian i
Century and the Lutheran, said
they base their view on the fact
that Kennedy had withdrawn in i
1951 from participation in an j
interfaith chapel service in Phil
adelphia. The magazines said the 1
withdrawal was made at the sug
gestion of the Catholic Archdio- j
cese there.
The chapel is a memorial to
four chaplains who lost their lives
in the torpedoing of a troop ship
off Greenland during World War
II.
The Christian Century said
Kennedy had declined to attend
the service on the ground that he
felt he had “no credentials” be
cause the Philadelphia Archdio
cese was unable to support the
chapel in the lower floor of a
Protestant Church.
The Lutheran said editorially
that if Kennedy became the Dem
ocratic Presidential nominee, the
religious debate would “follow
him into the White House, if he
should be elected.”
“His attendance at a Protestant
service would be cause for con
fession to his priest and subse
quent pennance,” the paper
added.
