SM. McCormick M Blast At Eisenhower May Be Tipoff For Democrat Strategy Washington, March ' 25— (UP) ' Rep. John W. McCormack’* surprise blast at Gen. Dwight D. Elsenhower Was viewed in some political circles today as a tipoff to Democratic strategy agaipst the general's growing strength as a GOP presidential candidate, Sen. Henry Cabot Lbdge, Jr., chairman for the Eisen-hower-for-president Campaign, said McCormack's statement yesterday looked like the opening of a “Democratic attack’” onj th# general. Lorge said it is “official recognition” of Eteenhowet as the “No. 1 threat to their hopes fbr 1952.” McCortnack. who i* house Democratic leader, denied that he was sending up a • “trial balloon" for the Truman administration when he criticised Elsenhower for stay ing on in bta European military post while he is “an active candidate” for president.

Large Audience Hears Mission House Chftir The Mission Hotme a cappeilt choir Plymouth, Wig., presented an excellent and varied' concert- of sacred innate before a Mr£6 audience in the 2!dn Evangelical arid Reformed church Sunday evening. The 44 ivolce ch6ir was under the direction of Prof. W. Hehry Ellerbush. The concert Sunday night brought to a close a two weeks tour through Indiana, Kfntudkji, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, in which time they gaye 16 concerts, besides singing in a number of regularly scheduled chtrrch service*. Music lovers and friends of Mission House College came from as far away As Archbold, Defiance and Van Wert, Ohio, Fort Wayne, Andrew*. Berne, and Magley, to hear the concert.

Wls., where they were scheduled to attend classes following the morning chapel service on Monday, i; said he had not conferred with anyone about his statement, but “I felt that somebody ought to say it." J He said there was no cohnection between his action and the return yesterday of Democratic national chairman Frank E. McKinney from Key West, Fla., where he conferred with President Truman. Several key Democrats said privately that they consider the McCormack statement an adminis-tration-backed maneuver. In other political developments: 1. Taft announced plans for a “major” speech on a coast-to-coast radio broadcast (CBS)' from Springfield. HL. on April 9. That 1* the day after Eisenhower i* scheduled to report on the European rearmament program in a television speech. 2. Taft claimed four mor# of Tennessee’s 20 convention delegates as the outcome of district meetings. His headquarters said he now has all 15 that have been chosen. Five remain to b# picked. The Taft forces claimed that th# added Tennessee strength gives them 63 convention delegates to only 31 so far for Eisenhower. Natural gas consists of about 90 percent of methane, also known as “marsh gas,” since it Is formed by decaying vegetation in marshes. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

Warning Is Issued On Spring Rackets Local HMSMwMrt Alerted To Rackets Walter Ford, secretary of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce, alerted local homeowners today against the perennial spring racket* .plague homeowners. Th* text of Ford's timely warning follows: “Every year homeowners throughout the nation who take pride tn the upkeep of their places are exploited by the swindlers who operate on the fringe of the horticultural bpsfnes*. One of the worst of the lot M the fake tree surgeon who may do mor* harm than good to trees because of hit lack of skill and because his chief interest is in ht* ff*s, not in his vocation. To avoid this type of operator, the national bitter business bureau recommends that the following preventive rules be followed: 1. Deal with a local, or nearby tree surgeon, whose work is either known to you. or can be checked upon by contacting other customers. Local tree surgeons pride themselves oh their satisfied customer* and will not hesitate to tell you who other local customers are. 1. Avoid the high pressure salesman who tries to scare you into signing a contract by telling you that trees will di* unless treated at once. Trees in bad condition need reparative work done, but a few lays tor investigating will not make much difference. 3. Get an estimate or two. Avoid .the operator who is: ambiguous about his charges will be, and who creates the impression that the' job will be cheap. 4. Make certaih that the firm you hire is adequately covered with insurance to you hnd your property, in case of accident "Another nfemCsis of the homeowner is the humus swindler who offers to top dress the victim’s lawn for a mere 75 cepts, or so, a bushel. “Many an unsuspecting homeowner has accepted iuch an offer in the assumption that a few bushels of humus would serve the purpose. if instead of staying outside ahd counting the number of bushel* actually, used. ->he returns indoors, he may be staggered when the vendor later presents a bill for some great amount of humus actually or supposedly spread on the lawn. Since there i* no practical way of measuring tlie amount used once it is on the ground, the victim has he choice of paying np and charging it up to experience. Or facing a law suit. To add in*ult to injury, the humus may prove to be a byproduct of some industrial plant with a negative fertilizer value. "Now is the time to be thinking about your gardening requirements

DO£HRMAN-*-Auctloneer • 25 27 Lutherans Believe Salvation 7 y by Faith Anyone with just a smattering ®f church history will know that one of the major doctrines on. • which Martin Luther broke with, the Church of hl* day was th* Bible doctrine of u justUlcar tion by faith.” / This is the doctrine that receive full and free forgiveness of their sins simply by trusting in Christ and His atonement. By faith the penitent sinner accepts the complete redemption which Christ has wqn through His substitutionary death upon the cross. This is a clear Bible teaching. SL Paul says, “By grace” are ye saved, thronffh/fairh, ... not of work*, lest any man should boast.” In another place he says, “A man. is justified bv faith without the deeds of the Law.” The Bible is so clear and emphatic on this point that it makes it the dividing lip* between the Christian religion and all dthers. The Christian religion teaches salvation by faith in a divine atonement; all other religions teach salvation by human attainment. Throughout four centuries, the Lutheran Church has beyi come known particularly for its insistence on this cornerstone of the Christian Teligion. Its message is still the message of the Book of Acts: “Believe on the Lord Jesus v Christ and thou shalt tbe saved.” HEAR BIBLE-CENTERED PREACHING AT ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH West Monr6e Street \ WEDNESDAY LENT SERVICE 7:30 P.
