LOS ANGELES—A 17-carat dia
mond was brought into a jewelry
store for appraisal. The custom
er’s conversation gave reason for
suspicion, and a call was made
for the FBI. The suspect quickly
swallowed he diamond; but the
agents soon discovered it by a
special X-ray machine. It was re
vealed that this stolen gem was
valued at over $30,000.
Since it is almost impossible to
hide a crime from the Investiga
tion Bureau; this should remind
us that it is impossible for any
one to hide anything from the
eye of God. “ . . . His eye seeth
every precious thing . . . For He
looketh to the ends of the earth,
and seeth Under the whole heav
en. . . . For His eyes are upon
the ways of man, and He seeth all
His goings.” Job 28:10,24; 34:21.
May dear souls who are still hid
ing from God be able to say
exultingly with Job of old, “I
have heard Thee by the hearing
of the ear: but now mine eye
seeth Thee.” Job. 42:5.

America is Too
Successful Example
Of Fi *cc Enterprise
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
One of the problems of the '
United States in selling her idea
of a free economic system to new
ly-developing nations, is ironic
ally, her great success.
When President Sukarno of In
donesia visited here he said, in
effect, “It is wonderful, but it
is beyond our reach.”
This idea that the pie just fell
out of the sky for Americans sets
them apart from other peoples,
and lets the Communists say:
“When you have to slave for all
you got, when can’t get rich, then
it’s best to slave our way.”
But is it a fact that the natural
resources of the United States are
so much greater than Eurasia's, or
Africa’s, or South America’s? Or
is it that the major factor has
been vision, and the willingness
to invest blood and sweat?
Certainly the early settlers
found only hardship and disap
pointment. Many of them did not
have even the religious freedom
or the escape from bondage for
which they had fled Europe. But
they raised a crop of most amaz
ing sons, pulled together in the
vortex of an historic vision. Ed
cated men in a wild environment.
Urgent men seeking a lodestar
which had never until those days
been discovered.
They found it, called it free
dom, fought a long and bitterly
hopeless but finally successful
war for it. They set up a system
of government never tried before
in the world, based on the aspira
tions of men worn by adversity
into a new people. It has stood.
They might have stopped there,
hardly beyond the beaches. Many

Khrushchev Will Get The
Cold Shoulder from U.S.
If He Visits The U.N.
WASHINGTON, — Soviet |
Premier Khrushchev will get the |
official cold shoulder treatment |
from the United States if he ac- j
tuallv succeeds in arranging a j
visit to the Western Hemisphere j
in the next few weeks.
U. S. officials, reporting this!
today, said it appears Khrushchev
is fishing for a bid to visit one
or more U. S. neighbor nations.
Failing that, he could attend
meetings of the U.N. General As
sembly which opens in New York
in late September.
Any head of a U.N. government
has the right to come to the
headquarters of the international
organization — but to go else
where in the United States would
require an invitation from this
country. Officials said Khrushchev
would not' be invited to Washing
ton or elsewhere in this country
if he came to the U.N. No U.S.
official would take cognizance of
his presence in New York.
A similar policy of pointedly
ignoring his presence would be
followed by U.. S. officials if
Khrushchev visited any other
American country.
wanted to do just that—the Fed
eralists. But Thomas Jefferson
said there must be no Europe in
North America, with all of its
prejudices and divisions.
France, Spain, Britain and even
Russia were trying for domina
tion in the west. Jefferson sent
Lewis and Clark, with a few men,
up the uncharted Missouri and I
down the Columbia, through In- i
dian tribes stirred up by the Brit- j
ish. and they returned with their J
maps, their descriptions, and
without losing a man.
Soon the wagon trains captured
the American northwest. Travel- |
ing communes, they were. Circl
ing their wagons at night against
attackers, voting which way to go
next morning. The pioneers voted [
a lot more than they fought. j
As civilization spread into the j
southwest, the extension of slav- i
ery became an issue, and the na- \
tion fought to see whether it
should be one or two. Out of!
blood came unity. The continent 1
would be one in peace from sea ,
to sea.
In blood, in vision, in tears and j
sweat, in mutual trust and an all- i
pervading faith, the people dug
a nation out of the earth.
Pie in the sky? My eye!

Pravda Goes All Out On
Alleged American Spy
MOSCOW, Ufi — Soviet news
papers kept a full blaze of public
ity yesterday on an alleged Amer
ican spy who, they said, was cap
tured trying to sneak out of Iran.
Expanding the meager details
first given, it is now claimed V.M.
Slovnov was parachuted into the
Soviet Union by a U S. spy plane.
The U2 and RB47 cases have
shown that repeated and success
ful penetrations of Soviet air de
fenses by American aircraft, such
as reported by Soviet authorities,
touch a most sensitive nerve in
this country.
The Communist party paper
Pravda published pictures of mat
erial claimed to have been seized
from Slovnov. This included arms,
ammunition, flashlights, a knife,
and assorted documents—enough i
to wear down a pack mule.
