Mice and monkeys have been

Today, the AEC said, two pilot-

bio-medical research, were to fly
through the cloud, guided by ra-
dar.
A ground station was set up to
steer them through the cloud,

and landing them afterwards. In

said. Mikhoels, who was a leader
of Russian Jewry until his death
in 1948, had been accused of be-

and international Jewish groups
with which the original charges
said the doctors plotted.
The paper said a commission
of medical experts “let itself be

and “supported slanderous accu-

It noted that the investigators
had “concealed from experts cer-
tain essential sides of curative
procedures which proved the cor-
rectness of the healing used.”
The paper concluded, however,
that the commission, by giving
an incorrect conclusion, “fell

Every seat in the auditorium
and in the balcony were occupied
and several chairs and benches
were brought in to accommodate
the overflow. It was a very good
demonstration of the fact that
rain will not keep people away
from church when they really
want to go.
And people are going to church
nowadays in greater numbers

of this writer. That does not ap-

Cost of Living
Falls, Pay Checks
Of Workers Cut
WASHINGTON, April 6, (A)_
Falling retail prices today clipped
three cents an hour from the pay
checks of 1,300,000 rail workers.
The government announced
that on Feb. 15 its old-style con-
sumer price index stood at 188.6
per cent of the 1935-39 average,
enough of a drop in the cost of
living from last November to
bring the three-cent hourly wage
reduction.
Rail wages.are adjusted each
three months to correspond to
rising or falling living costs. To-
day’s three cent loss is the big-
gest since rail wages were first
tied to the cost of living. It
leaves employes with ten cents
in accumulated cost-of-living pay
from previous raises based on
rising index figures.
The three-cent pay cut means
a payroll saving for the nation’s
carriers estimated at $7,500,000 a
month. It all but wipes out a
four-cent hike awarded virtually
all employes last month by a
government referee. That in-
crease was based on higher pro-
ductivity—output per man hour.
Rail wages averaged around
$1.90 an hour before today’s ad-
justment.
Lower prices for food, fully
reported when the official or
new-style consumer price indexes
for January and February were
announced weeks ago, were
mainly responsible for the over-
all decline in the price level.

Two minor traffic accidents

Sunday, but there were no in-

ly regular in church attendance,
but also take prominent parts in
church affairs.
These young men, many of
whom engaged in wartime ac-
tivities in which they might have
lost their lives, turned to God in
these emergencies, when they
had never thought of doing so
seriously before. And when God
brought them safely through,
they have seen fit to return
home and take their places in
the church. And their wives have
gone along with them. Further-
more, there were wives and
sweethearts of men on war
fronts, who also turned more
seriously to God for comfort and
help during the conflicts.
Therefore, without seeing any
statistics on the subject, we have
an idea that ’the increase in
' church attendance in recent
years, has seen the greatest
movement in that direction
among young married people be-
tween 20 and 35 years of age.

ville.
The child was hit by a car
driven by Robert Clarence Hold-

The mishap occurred about
11:10 o’clock some six miles
east of the city on highway 82.
The boy was dead upon arrival
at Medical & Surgical hospital.
He was a third grade pupil at
Callisburg school.
The boy, who was out of
school for the Easter holidays,
had crossed the highway from
his home to pick up mail left
by Rural Carrier John A. Cun-
ningham.
After picking up the mail he
reportedly stepped from behind
a passing car into the path of
the car driven by Holder.
Highway Patrolmen Bill Gard-

all indications showed that
Holder did everything possible
to avoid hitting the boy. Holder
was driving west toward Gaines-

The boy’s father is an em-

parents are a sister, Jorene,

Three Oklahoma residents
were injured in a two-car Sun-

of Gainesville on highway 77.
Treated at Gainesville sanitar-
ium were Mrs. Essie Henley,
33; her. daughter, Myrtle Hen-

Driver of the other vehicle,
John Glenn, 21, of 1018 Minnie
street, Gainesville, also escaped
injury. He is a student at North
Texas State college.
Highway Patrolman Bill Gard-
ner said Henley lost control of
his car after one wheel slipped
off the pavement and it skidded
into the path of the car driven
by Glenn. The Henleys were
going north and Glenn was
driving south.

came here aboard the liner
United States for a round of
important conferences with
President Eisenhower and other
government officials. The talks
may center on the Soviet
“peace” drive’s impact on Euro-
pean unity.
Expressing gratitude for
America’s “help and kindness”
—o Germany, he said: “Very
rarely in past history has a vic-
torious people stretched out a
helpful hand towards the van-
quished, as you have done.”
Germans’ “Spirits Raised”
This sympathy and generosity,
he said, “has raised the spirit
of the German people and has
given it confidence again.
“What seems especially im-
portant to me, this has con-
vinced the German people that
in the life of nations, force and
egotism are not the only mo-
tive powers.”
Adenauer said that America’s
recognition of the obligations
imposed by its power and
wealth would be “recorded with
golden letters” in the “history
of our time, which contains so
many dark pages.”
The chancellor’s remarks were
read from a prepared statement.
Thirteen-Day Visit
Asked what effects he thought
the Soviet Union’s “peace”
drive might mean to this coun-
try and to others of the Atlan-
tic defense community, he said:
“On my return from Washing-
ton, I will be wiser than I am
now and then I will answer all
your questions.”
Adenauer, who goes to Wash-
ington tomorrow, will be in
this country 13 days.
He said he plans visits at
universities here and in Chi-
cago, and plans to fly to the
west coast “to get some idea of
the magnitude of your coun-
try.”
At the Waldorf Astoria hotel,
where he is stopping here, a
German flag flew alongside the
American standard for the first
time in more than a decade.
Adenauer is attending a pri-
vate luncheon this afternoon in
Greenwich, Conn. 1
