government service within a few
days
President Eisenhower's choice
of him as the No. 2 civilian ad
ministrator at the Penta go n

would move up to the No 1 spot
with the likely departure this fall

Eli ov.

position to know said Eisen
hower's present plans are to
give the secretaryship of de

Witness Says
Police Control
Red Churches
WASHINGTON (/P)—The Sen
ate Internal Security subcommit
tee released testimony yesterday
that Soviet churches are under
control of the secret police, and
that many priests are secret
agents.
Chairman James 0. Eastland
(D-Miss) said in 'a statement the
testimony established that Metro
politan Nicolai, foreign affairs
secretary of the Russian Orthodox
church, is an agent of the Soviet
secret police.
The testimony was given by
Peter S. Deriabian, described by
the committee as a former MVD
—secret police—officer who was
attached to the Soviet-Embassy in
Vienna when he defected to the
West in 1954. He testified at
a closed session May 5.
The witness said that when So
viet leaders saw in 1937 that the
policy of closing churches and
exiling priests would not work,
the Communist government be
gan requiring priests to be agents.
"For more than 20 years now,
under the policy of the state po
lice in the Soviet Union, to be a
i
priest one has to be' an agent?"
asked chief counsel T. G. Sour
wine.
"That is right," Deriabian re
plied.

nik was accused before a Soviet
writers conference yesterday of
"the behavior of a traitor."
Secretary General Alexei Sur
kov of the Soviet Writers Con
gress denounced the author of
"Doctor Zhivago," barred in the
Soviet Union but a best seller in
the West, which plays up the de
spairing side of the losers in the
13olshevik Revolution.
Inventors Asked
To Help Military
WASHINGTON OP) h e
armed forces appealed yesterday
to the nation's inventors to come
up with devices that would en
able soldiers to jump over moun
tains and live off the land.
Through the National Inventors
Council, the military also called
for quick methods to repair brok
en undersea cables, like those a
Soviet fishing trawler was ac
cused of ripping in February.
A spokesman said, however, the
decision to seek new repair meth
ods had no connection with the
, Febraury incident,
The council is a Commerce De
partment agency which acts as a
clearing house for military inven
tions. It issued a list of 28 new
problems which the Pentagon
wants civilian inventors to tackle.

When "public power" wins—you lose!
Every time the lobbyists for federal "public power"
push another government electricity project through
Congress, you ate taxed to pay the ball
You and other Americans have already been taxed
about $5,500,000,000 to pay for federal "public power."
That's how much has been taken out of taxpayers'
pockets and put into federal power dame and plants in
certain parts of the U.S.
But that's just the beginning—if the federal "public
power" lobbyists and pressure groups have their way.
They want more of your tax money—slo,ooo,ooo,ooo
more—so that government can take over a still bigger
share of the electric business.
Yet they must know that independent electric light
companies like your own are ready and able to supply all
the electricity the nation needs— without depending on
your tax money.
How can this needless spending of your taxes be
stopped? As soon u enough people know what "public
power" is really costing them, they will call a halt to it.
The quickest way is to spread the word among your
friends and neighbors.

Trains Collide
Carrying 800;
2 Badly Hurt
CHICAGO (iP)—Two jammed
elevated trains carrying 800 pas
sengers collided head to tail dur
ing the morning rush hour today.
One hundred twenty-five per
sons were taken to three hospitals
,where two were found to have
been injured seriously. Within a
few hours 58 were discharged.
Many ostensibly unhurt had been
brought in for examination.
The impact sent the front car of
the rear train telescoping four
feet into the rear car of the sta
tionary lead train.
Passengers were bowled over
into writhing piles. Those seated
were banged against other seats.
There was no fire.
Dominic Parise, 45, motorman
of the rear train, said he saw the
train ahead stalled on the tracks
He dammed his brakes, but there
wasn't time.
A Chicago Transit Authority
spokesman said a preliminary in
vestigation apparently pinned the
cause of the crash to man failure.
The spokesman said skid marks
indicated the brakes and other
equipment were working.

Ike Visits Sick Dulles
WASHINGTON (Al—President
Eisenhower made another visit
yesterday to former Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles, serious
ly ill with cancer.
The State Department reported
there has been no change in Dul

a decline was noted following an
attack of pneumonia.

people stare at our party picture
display. Aren't all party groups

From what we've gleamed from
conversation, the reasons moti

totally different than the male

Anyway a graduate student
friend of ours (clinical psychol

is naturally nosey and because
of thousands of years of evolu
tion has no choice about it.
Further, he states that men on
lookers are hardly aware of
the pictures, but are utilizing the
situation to make conversation
and observe a pretty calf.
