Today Is D-Day on
f San Juan Island
TACOMA (£) — Today is D
Day on San Juan Island in north
ern Puget Sound.
It’ll probably be the biggest
display of armed might the little
island has seen since 1859, when
the Americans and the British
almost went to war over a pig.
In an exercise called Operation
Seawall, units of the Army,
Navy and Air Force will try to
“liberate” San Juan from a mock
aggressor force which is holed
up on it.
About 12,000 soldiers, sailors
and airmen are participating in
the week-long exercise.
About that 1859 affair ... a
dispute over the U.S.-Canadian
border was settled amicably after
tempers flared when a Britisher
shot an American’s pig.

NASA Plans One More
Orbital Trip Before
Sending Up an Astronaut
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Ub—
America’s drive to hurl a U.S.
astronaut into orbit by the end
of year has received vigorous im
petus from the successful recovery
of a Mercury space capsule after
it circled the globe.
But the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration intends
to rocket one more capsule into
orbit, perhaps with a chimpan
zee passenger, before risking a
human life on the journey into
space.
An Atlas missile propelled a
two-ton capsule carrying a me
chanical man into a 17,519-mile
an-hour sweep around the earth
Wednesday. Braking rockets sent
the space craft out of orbit and
it parachuted safely into the At
lantic Ocean >161 miles east of
Bermuda after a 109-minute trip.
The destroyer USS Decatur re
trieved it.
A few minor electronic diffi
culties cropped up on the flight.
Robert Gilruth, Project Mer
cury director said:
“We want to fly a capsule with
a quick-release escape hatch once
more before putting a man in
orbit..
The quick-release hatch has
been flown on only one capsule
—that which carried astronaut
Virgil I. Grissom.

AEC Chairman j
Says U.S. Leads in
Nuclear Weapons
WASHINGTON <*> — The chair
man of the Atomic Energy Com
mission voiced confidence yester
day that the United States still
leads in big power nuclear weap
ons despite the rapid-fire Soviet
weapons testing program.
“I don’t think the Russians are
ahead of us in large nuclear weap
ons,” AEC Chairman Glenn T.
Seaborg told newsmen. He had
just made a secret report to mem
bers of Congress on the intelli
gence gained from the detection
of nine Russian blasts in the past
two weeks.
Seaborg, along with Defers'-'
Department and Central Intelli
genc officials met with the S?n
ate-House Congressional Atomic
Energy Committee.
Seaborg said he is conf'den*
that the United States, while
testing underground, “can go n
long way toward keeping pace
| with the Russians even if they
continue (testing) in the atmo
sphere.”
Rep. Chet Holifield, (D-Calif.),
Chairman of the Senate-House
group, told a reporter that Atomic
Energy Commission and Defense
Department experts are “working
night and day” to get the Ameri
can tests underway.
Holifield said that the experi
ments will start with a number
of underground blasts of relative
ly low yield.
Various explanations have 'been
advanced for the wide range of
power yield detected from nine
Soviet blasts. Wednesday’s shots 1
were reported by the AEC as
being in the low to intermediate
range.
In nuclear terminology, low
range could mean a force com
parable to the explosive equiva
lent of 20,000 tons of TNT.
Some shots in the new Soviet
series have exceeded the 1-mil
lion-ton range.

SEPTEMBER 17
WORLD PEACE DAY
September 17 has been designated by
the Baha'i's of the United States as
World Peace Day. Its purpose is to bring j
to the attention of the public the [
Baha'i Peace Program which rests upon
a spiritual solution for the world’s
problems rather than a political solution
as practiced by the nations today.
The Baha'i World Faith teaches the
Oneness of God. the Oneness of religion
and the unity of Mankind as one human
family.
Baha’u’llah, the founder Prophet of
the Baha’i Faith wrote:
“Religion is a radiant light and an
impregnable stronghold for the protec
tion and welfare of the peoples of the
world . . . Should the lamp of religion
be obscured, chaos and confusion will
ensue, and the lights of fairness, of
justice, of tranquillity and peace cease
to shine.”
His son Abdu’l-Baha who shared 40
years of imprisonment with His father
and became the authorised interpreter
for the world's newest Divine Teachings
wrote:
“The divine purpose of religion is
pure love and agreement. The Prophets
of God manifested complete love for all.
Each one announced the glad tidings of
His successor, and each subsequent one
confirmed the teachings and prophecies
of the Prophet who preceded Him. There
is no disagreement or variation in the
reality of their teaching and mission.
Discord has arisen among their fol
lowers who have lost sight of the reality
and hold fast to imitations. If imitations
be done away with and the radiant
shining reality dawn in the souls of
men, love and unity must prevail. In
this way humanity will be rescued from
the strife and wars which have prevail
ed for thousands of years: dissentions
will pass away and the illumination of
unity dawn.
Baha-u-llah who was born a Prince of
the Realm renounced all His worldly
wealth and power to suffer a lifetime of
torture and banishment in the process of
which He was taken In chains to the
Holy Land where the World Center of
Faith Is. The religious and civil author
ities thought that the lifetime of im
prisonment would quench the flames of
this newly revealed Faith which spread
rapidly through the Near East. His voice
was muffled by thick prison walls but
He wrote a hundred books which offer
to the peoples of the world the answers
| they seek in renewal of their Faith in
l God.
| He knew of the existence of the bomb
and wrote of it. His son, Abdu’l-Baha
knew of the great danger it possessed
when in 1911 He spoke these words:
“There U in existence a stupendous force,
as yet happily undiscovered by man. Let
us supplicate God, the Beloved, that
this force be not discovered by science
until spiritual civilization shall dominate
the human mind. In the hands of men
of lower material nature, this power
would be able to destroy the whole
earth.”
Could it have been by accident that
Abdu’l-Baha spoke these words to the
Japanese Ambassador Viscount Arakawa’
A presentation of the Baha’i Peace
Plan will be made at the home of Mr
and Mrs. Bernard Blumenstein. 304
Steadman Ave., Sunday, Sept. 17, be
tween 2 and 4 p.m. and some slides of
the Baha’i World Center in the Holy
Land, which Mr. Blumenstein took last
year will be shown.

Tigers are Friendlier . . .
ST. INGBERT, Germany OP) —
Henk Luycx, 24, a Dutch lion
tamer with a local circus, didn’t
show up for his performance on
Wednesday. He had been bitten
by a mouse.
Luycx, who handies five tigers,
said the mouse bit his hand,
causing blood poisoning. The
hand had to be bandaged, and
the doctor advised against enter
ing the arena for a few days.
Tigers are friendlier than those
miee,” he said. “Mice are pretty
lousy characters.”
