“Evasive Facts” Subject At Ist Presb. Church The Rev. Ralph Rogers, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, White and Washington Sts., will preach on “Evasive Facts” for his sermon Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. “The public has been anxious to know, and the Air Force has been trying to find out, something about flying saucers. The facts in the case are largely speculative— in that they have been seen, but just what they are seems to be beyond the ken of the human mind. The facts are evasive. “When Jesus healed the palsied man he confuted the scribes and Pharisees with the accomplished fact, but the ‘how’ of the opera- tion was evasive, vague. In answer to the accusation that it was ac- complished with the aid of Beelze- bub, Jesus further confused them by stating that “‘if Satan cast out Satan, he is divideéagainst him- self; how shall then his kingdom stand?” This then was an evasive, “There had been a most intimate group of Christians at Jerusalem but Paul had created too much in- terest in the Gospel and was thrown in prison. An angel of the Lord came down and released him from his chains and as Paul was led out by the heavenly visitor, the outer gate opened and he pro- ceeded on to the house of Mary, the mother of John. There Rhoda answered the alarm at the door and when she heard Peter’s voice she forgot to open the gate and left him standing there as she ran to tell the family the good news. Here was an evasive fact. They knew Peter was in prison and hard- ly understood how he could be re- leased so soon. No doubt the jailer, ‘was more confused than was the family. “Remarkable events occur day by day and are explained only that the power and love of God passeth all understanding. The Gospel has changed and made over disreput- able lives. It has brought joy and happiness to many and has so ef- fected human life that life is rich- bed sweeter than at any time in the history of the world. There are more opportunities, life is more re- warding due to the love of God. His love is real but evasive to some.” Mrs. Ardelle Price, the organist will play for her Prelude — Pre- lude by Guilmant and as the Of- fertory “Andante” by Wolfe.

Santiago Cabrera HAL BOYLE SAYS (Editor’s, nete: Trellis Mae Peeble, America’s average house wife, writes her husband that the climax ef the Democratic National Convention was a better family show then “East Lynn.) By HAL BOYLE CHICAGO # — Dear darling Wilbur, There must be something better in life than being President of the United States. I could see that in the face of Bess Truman Friday night when her husband came out on the plat- form to give his farewell address to a Democratic convention. A great roar went up as the President quick-stepped out, strut- ;ting like a bantam rooster. You | could tell the great pride Bess has in that little fighter. I thought her eyes reddened with tears at this last great tribute to him, but if there were tears Bess didn’t bother to wipe them away. It was a big hour for him, as he launched into his favorite sport —giving the Republicans hell. But it was a bigger hour for her, the signal for their. return to private life together after years of swim- ming in the public goldfish bowl of politics. Wilbur, you could see they were both navn’ a wonderful time. Aft- er the President finished his bat- ting practice against the Republi- cans, he introduced Gov. Adlai Stevenson, the new nominee. Well, the reluctant Adlai took a generous stand. He forgave the convention for nominating him, said he was an awful small fellow for such a big job, and then began slashing right and left at the Re- publicans. He used a rapier, where- as the President had been club- bing at them with a baseball bat. Then the convention wound up its biggest evening with a real old-fashioned family hour. The del- egates were introduced to two of Gov. Stevenson's three sons. The veep and Mrs. Barkley came out, and finally Mrs. Truman joined them. It was a contrast between the gid and new in politics, the transi- tion of one age to another, and the convention felt it and went wild with applause. Somehow I was sorry nobody thought to put no on the platform. All that was missing was Harry playing “Home, Sweet, Home,” with his daughter Margaret singing the lyr- fes—and maybe Jjmmy Durante closing the show by saying. “Good night, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are.” Bess Truman was the last to leave. Turning, she waved her hand gaily, and her face shone like a sehoolgirl’s. I suppose it was because she felt she soon will have at least what every woman wants—her man to herself, for the | years thev have left. Well, Wilbur, I suppose you are | less interested in woman talk than you are in what kind of a man this Adlai Stevenson is. To tell you the truth, the delegates them- selves are rather puzzled at this nominee they were told they draft- ed—on the third ballot. Harry Truman looks and acts like a small businessman who sud- | denly rose to great power and | learned how to live with it. But Adlai Stevenson is more like an | aristocrat who has gone into poli- } | ties because he has a sociological interest In the common man. What | the delegates find hard to under. | | stand is his humility. They aren't | used to humility in either aristo- crats or politicians. | ceptance had literary magnificence | jand was full of great phrases— } suc! {mo one drags a chain.” But when he said the Democratic Party “is | the party of no one because it is | of August 24th and Sist will be! supplied by Dr. William N.

Police Hunt Slayer TAMPA # — Sheriff's officers had to look for a new solution today in the slaying of Night Club Operator Joseph C. Centanni on July 3. Alexander Black, the insurance salesman they had charged with | murder in the case, was cleared | at a preliminary hearing Friday. Justice of the Peace J. G. Spicola dismissed the charge on recom- mendation of Assistant State At- torney J. Frank Umstot. Three deputy sheriffs testified that Black, 36, admitted being with Centanni at the night club shortly before he was found stabbed to death. They presented no evidence of motive and said Black came to see them after reading about the slaying. The victim’s wife testified she went to sleep at the club while Centanni, 37, was counting up re- ceipts, and awoke to find him dead and about $200 missing. Black, who had been at the club earlier, said he came back for cigarettes while Mrs. Centanni was asleep, had another drink, helped Centanni move some beer cases and left him alive, the offi- cers related. Black himself did not | testify. Mrs. Centanni said her husband and Black had been casual friends for a few months.

A Circuit Court jury ,convicted the Cliffes Friday of second degree murder, and specified there was no recommendation for mercy. Judge Henry C. Tillman said he would pronounce sentence next The sentence can range from 20 years to life imprison- ment. The state tried the 27-year-old couple on a first degree murder jcharge and pressed for the death ‘penalty. The jury rejected the plea, how- ever, after coming back to hear Judge Tillman reread his charge that there must be a “‘well founded design to kill” to make first degree murder. The 12 jurors de- liberated an hour and 35 minutes. Although both defendants ad- mitted on the stand that lit- tle Wayne Dolham was beaten, starved and hung up for three days and nights before his death, there has never been ajy evirience to challenge their statement that they were punishing him for stubborn disobedience and had no idea he would die. Each of the defendants accused the “other of playing the major role in the punishment. The small courtroom was packed be throughout the 5-day trial, but de- spite the strong feeling about the case there was no demonstration a the verdict. Cliffe, the stepfather, showed lit- tle emotion. Mrs. Cliffe sobbed off and on throughout the trial and broke down completely when a doc- tor described her son’s body as bruised everywhere “except the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet.” The Florida Canners’ Associa- tion reports that 60 per cent of all oranges used this season went oe canned or concentrate prod- uct Youth For Christ TONIGHT 7:30 P.M. 729 FLEMING ST.
