Missionary Says Seeds Of
, Christianity Are In Asia
HOUSTON, May 9—UP—Christi-
anity as known in the western
world may someday look to the
persecuted Christians of the Irion
Curtain countries for strength, a
leader in foreign missionary work
said Saturday.
Dr. M. Theron Rankin, executive
secretary of the Southern liaptist’s
Foreign Mission board, believed
the seeds of Christianity planted In
Asiatic countries and in Russian
Chicago U. Goes
Back To Old Plan
CHICAGO. May 9 —UP— The
University of Chicago returned to
the conventional four-year curricu-
lum Saturday in a move to boost
sagging enrollment and get its de-
grees recognized by other schools.
Despite threats of a sitdown
strike hy students of the universi-
ty's college, the school abandoned
in part at least a “bold venture"
in education which stressed giving
college degrees to bright young-
sters after two years of school in-
stead of four.
The decision marked the end of
a colorful era instituted hy former
Chancellor Robert M. Hutchins,
who stirred a tempest in educa-
tional circles a decade ago when
he inaugurated the two-year pro-
gram and abolished football.
Despite the university’s return to
more conventional educational
paths, there was no hint that foot-
ball was coming back.
The “Hutchins plan” enabled stu-
dents to enter the university after
only two years of high school.
Youngsters with the full four years
of high school could receive de-
grees in two years or less, de-
pending on their acumen.
But bachelor's degrees awarded
by the unniversity college were not
accepted by most universities, put-
ting Chirago out of step with most
of the nation’s institutions of high-
er education.
Enrollment fell off because many
parents w e r e unwilling to send
their youngsters to college after
only two years of high school.
The decision to drop the “Hutch-
ins plan” was made bv the council
of the university senate, the aca-
devic governing body. The new
program will become effective next
year.
LOST THEIR WAY
COLUMBUS, Ohio . May 9—UP—
Democratic Gov. Frank ,1. Lausche
said Saturday that six Republican
governors attending the recent
conference in Washington lost their
way trying to find the White House.
Lausche said he left the Staticr
hotel with six Republican gover-
nors to walk to the White House.
"1 couldn't* help kidding them
when they became lost enroute,”
the Democratic governor said. “Of
course, they had some appropriate
answers.”
satellites before the Iron Curtain
dropped may be the salvation of
our own brand of Christianity.
He also believed that even if
CommunisYn had never been born,
the world today would be under-
going a period of “great unrest.”
Represent Purists
In Houston to report to the South-
ern Baptist Conference. Dr. Rankin
said in an interview that a certain
"hard core" of Christians are ten-
aciously clinging to their beliefs in
China and other Iron Curtain coun-
tries despite Communist persecu-
tion.
“They represent one of the purist
blends of Christianity." he said.
"The 'lukewarm' Christians, such
as there are in the western world,
generally do not want to pay the
price and fall into the Communist
fold.”
When the Iron Curtain is lifted,
by means whatever, it will reveal
a sturdy brand of Christianity that
even the United States can look
upon for strength and vigor, he
said.
Dr. Rankin said the world is in
an era of “awakening human
hungers "
Hunger for Dignity
“Because of modern communica-
tions, our most backward peoples
are beginning to have great hunger
for human dignity and respect such
as the western wold knows,” he
said. “Even if there was no Com-
munism, these people would be in
a process of upheaval trying to
satisfy that hunger.”
Because of this sudden self-
realization of the worth of a man
and his soul Dr. Rankin believes
Christianity had ‘two strikes’ on
Communism even before they
started their fighting. He cited the
basic Christian philosophy of the
dignity of man. Communism, he
said, is the antithesis of this.
Communism first appears as the
"lift” that will put the downtrodden
into the realm of western man-
kind. But later, when the Commu-
nist belief fails to meet their burn-
ing desire for respect.
Realize Futility
A majority of the Chinese people,
who Dr. Rankin knew from 20
years as a missionary there, are
beginning to realize the futility of
Communism, he believes.
The Virginia missionary believed
though, that western nations still
have a “very great responsibility”
in trying to reach Christians be-
hind the Iron Cuitain with mess-
ages of help.

BROWNSVILLE, May 9 —UP—
The first pumping violator to be
taken to court in the Valley’s cur-
rent water shortage Saturday was
fined $50 and jailed eight hours for
contempt ot court. District Judge
Arthur Klein handed out the penalty

er after he admitted violating a
blanket court order against pump-
ing from the Rio Grande. Block said

when 36 more Sabres hit a troop
concentration and ammunition and
fuel dump at Sariwon.
“It was the best bombing ‘I’ve
ever seen,” said Capt. Robert H.
Heath of North Evans, N. Y., who
led the afternoon strike. “I could
see every bombing into the tar-
get.”
Capt. Howard P. Mann of Altus,
Okla.. who led the morning strike
ot 36 Sabres described that action;
“It was beautiful pinpointing.
We each picked a single target and
dove on it. When we pulled out at
3,000 feet I could see plenty of
buildings wrecked.”
The Sabrejets flew a total of 109
missions as they attacked the two
targets in waves. Other Sabres,
protecting ihe morning strike
against the Sariwon target deep in
North Korea, shot down two MIGs.
Col James J. Johnson of Phoenix,
Ariz., shot down one and 2nd Lt.
Samuel J. Reeder of Lyons Falls.
N. Y.. shot down another.
