House high above the east end of

It was broadcast to a world audi
ence over national networks an.i|
short wave stations, including j
VVRUL, Boston. The occasion
marked the 11th anniversary of
Moral Re-Armament.
"What man wants is security -
a hate-free, fear-free, greed-free
world,” said Dr. Bnchman. “The
bottleneck is that people say hu
man nature cannot change. Brt
human nature does change, and
the nature of nations can change
too. Moral Me-Armamcnt gives
the full dimension of change—
economic change, social change,
national change, internati o n a 1
change—all based on personal
change. It creates a personal opin
ion that can change the fate of na
tions. It presents a force adequate
to remake the world.”
“Is there an answer lor Paris?”
asked Dr. Buchman with refer
ence to the foreign ministers’
meeting now in session, and added.
"Is there any other answer?”
Quoting a statement by German
Socialist leader Dr. Walter Men
z(d. hr* said, "Any unity in Europe
must have Moral Re-Armamen,."
"I works in Germany.” he stal
red, citing extensive results of this
ideology at work in that country
dnr ng the past year. He reported
the conclusion of minister presi
dent Karl Arnold of North Rhine
Westphalia, "Germany needs an
inspired ideology to support her
new democracy. Moral Re-Arma
ment is the spiritual road to a new
Europe.”
"Everyone feels Moral Re-Arm
ament lias the answer for Ger
r any." continued Dr. Buchman,
saying that even in the East Zone
tii v sneak about it. "But not ev
e-yone realizes that a re-born
Germany would have the answer
for them. The fate of Germany is
the fate of Europe.”
He reported the response of in
dust ialists and workers, Marxists
and Socialists, to the democratic
ideolo.y that "there is enough in
the world for everyone’s need but
not enough for everyone’s greed.”
"tn the battle for new men. new
nations, and a new world, we
must have adequate weapons,” Dr.
Buchman declared. He announced
that two MRA plays, "The Good
Road” and "The Forgotten Fac

Lone Plane Bombs
Lunghwa Airport
SHANGHAI, (/P)—A lone plane
appeared in the vicinity of Lung
hwa air port today, and residents
heard sharp explosions that may
have been small bombs.
Airport officials were unable to
identify the plane. They said the
field was not damaged. There
were reports it was a nationalist'

plane.
The incident occurred as Shang-1
hai buckled down to a tie-up of |
foreign shipping by reported |
mines in the Yangtze estuary.j
The closing of the lower rived to

over Shanghai’s power situation.

Marxist in Baden-Baden who said
after seeing one of these plays, “I*
was as if I had been toiling up r

the city of light.”
Dr. Buchman cited further il
lustrations in France, New Zea-I

find a new spirit when men begin
to work together.”

continued. “Who has the key to
the second half? The nation whose
youth finds the answer to nihilism
and apathy.”
“Moral Re-Armament is the an
swer,” he concluded, “because i: j
deals with the fundamental proh- !
lem. It takes sin seriously. And :
takes Christ seriously. It shows
how to unite nation and nation

families, industries, cabinets and
nations. All we need is the mil-1
lions who say. ‘Yes, I will’.”

Congress Seeks To
Drastically Curb
Military “Stores''
WASHINGTON. {&)—Congress
men studying military retailing
ope rations said yesterday an
armed forces agreement to cut out
saled of certain luxury items ‘‘is a
good start, but it doesn’t go far
enough.”
That comment was offered pri
vately by one member of a House
armed services sub-committee,
and several others agreed.
Some of them proposed a still
tighter rein on the sales practices
of post exchanges and ship’s serv
ice sores, with no mail-order busi
ness allowed.
The military’s depa rtment
stores still can be heavily stocked
with high priced goods from a list
j of items they are permitted to
| sell, these lawmakers said.
The new agreement, which put
all armed forces retail selling un
der a single regulation this week,
was explained to the sub-commit
tee Wednesday by John Koehler,
assistant secretary of the navy.
Local merchants and officials of
i
national retail associations have
complained that they faced unfair
competition from service stores
which did not pay any taxes, were
not bound by fair trade agree
ments on prices, and did not mee‘
costs for rent and utilities.
Under the new plan, Koehler
said, the service stores will begin
collecting the 20 per cent federal
Mediators Seek
To Avert East
Coast-Gulf Strike
NEW YORK, (>P>—Federal me
diators are hopeful of averting an
East and Gulf Coast maritime
strike when the contracts of three
CIO unions expire next Wednes
day.
Cyrus S. Ching, director of the
federal mediation and conciliation
service, said progress made so far
indicates new agreements can be
reached before the deadline.
Federal mediators have oeen
meeting with the unions—the na
tional maritime union, the marine
engineers beneficial assoc.ation
and the American radio associa
tion—since the negotiators report
ed last week that they were bog
ged down.
Ching said both sides had shown
recognition of the serious conse
quences of a shipping tieup at At
lantic and Caribbean ports and of
I their responsibilities to the pub
j lie and industry.
Issues in the dispute are union
I wage demands, manning scales,
establishment of a 40-hour week,
and continuance of union-oper
ated hiring halls.
Representatives of the unions
and 38 shipping firms are to meet
again today.
