LONDON, May 10 (UP) —
Official quarters said today the
belief was spreading in the
British government that Chinese
Communist leader Mao Tze-Tung
was acting under orders from
Moscow and would not be an
"Oriental Tito."
Government analysts said that
recent broadcasts by the new
China news agency are virtually
to Moscow propaganda

Self-Styled Divine
Healer At Houston
Creates Excitement
HOUSTON (UP)—"Bishop"
Elder A. Bonds, self-designated
"Divine Healer of the World,"
gathered new followers here at
his ramshackle tabernacle. Hun-
dreds of Negroes, including pa-
tients loaded in 15 ambulances,
saw him make the rain stop.
That feat, said the dapper,
mustached Bonds, was "just or-
dinary."
A flip of 1 lie hands, a plea
heavenward, "and now let the
sun shine ..." That's all there
is to it.
While the crowd jumped up
and down and shouted approval,
the Negro "bishop" yelled in
his staccato voice, "The Lord
never rained out one of my
meetings."
This fired-up gathering fol-
lowed Bonds' appearance in cor-
poration court, where lie mo-
mentarily came to earth. He
was released on $25 bond on
charges of collecting and as-
sembling on a sidewalk and "al-
leging to be a faith healer."
The meeting at bis dilapidated
tabernacle w as similar to crowds
that followed him downtown to
court, creating a traffic jam that
took police an hour to untangle.
Bonds called upon the Lord
while ambulances pulled up to
the rear of a nearby establish-
ment called "Angel's Chicken
Shack." That was where the
"healer" was going to set the
stage for miracles.
He calmly announced that as
"a bishop in the Church of God's
Holy Tabernacle," his powers
had wrought other miracles,
-such as bringing sight to 41 blind
persons, and liberating at least
three other persons from death
itself.
And while the jamboree raged,
complete with fancy ground-
rolling maneuvers, Bonds shout-
ed, "it's the doctors who are
causing me this trouble . . . al-
ways the doctors."

WIDER on the inside... NARROWER outside! There's extra

There's extra value in Dodge beauty that flows from true
functional styling ... in tlie design that provides more
head room, more leg room, more elbow room, greater
vision for all passengers.
I here's extra value in Dodge's Get-Away engine with
its surging acceleration ... its higher compression that
squeezes extra miles from every gallon of gas . . . the
smoothness of Dodge All-Fluid Drive at no extra cost.
Yes, you'll want Dodge for the extra value you get all
the way from double-life hydraulic brakes and Safety-Rim
\\ heels, to the luxurious comfort of full-cradled ride and
knee-level seats.
Add to these the Dodge reputation for dependability
and economy and you'll discover why wise buyers say . . ,
