Youth Speaker Jerry Carey, a senior at Anderson College, Anderson, will speak at the Church of God here Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of this week. Jerry had the unique privilege of being chosen to travel this past suntaner with the "Venture for Victory" basketball team. They traveled <7,000 miles in three months, byway of Hawaii, Manila, Formosa, Okinawa, and Tokyo, Japan; Korea, and back again to the United States. . -They played on dirt, mud. cement, rock, wood, or crushed stone, but wherever they went, the half-time period would be given over to testimonies, singing special songs, and explaining the Gospel of Christ. This venture ''of sports evangelism is a new phase of 20th century soul-winning, and brought to Orientals—thousand® of them —the way of Miration. The youth of the church are • happy to have Jerry Carey for the four services as a fitting climax to youth week. The Anderson College girls trio will present their many gospel songs each service; Friday, Saturday and- Sunday nights at 7:30. and Sunday morning at 9:30. All of these services will be in charge of the youth of the church, but the public is invited, especially the youth. Fund Is Voted To Study Toll Rood INDIANAPOLIS UP — The Indiana toll road commission late Tuesday received $250,000 to finance a preliminary study, of a proposed nonth-south road which would be part of an Indiana-Flor-ida linlfc. The money was transferred to the commission by the state board " of finance from a $600.00 appropriation for the study. However, Gov. Craig said the preliminary prcfoatdy would not coat that much because a previous east-wedt toll road survey cost only $90,000. “

McCarthy Standing By Shakedown Story Senator Is Granted New Appropriation WASHINGTON UP — Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy is sticking oy hig. original statement that he had evidence some government official tried to “shake down” a friendly foreign government for $150,000. McCarthy, armed with a new appropriation of $214,000 for his. investigations, told the senate Tuesday he was “quite correct” despite state department announcement that none of its employes ■was involved in the alleged “shakedown.” 'There have been reports that the incident involved a political group in Nicaragua seeking U. S. Recognition in 1947. The Wisconsin Republican said “other officials of the government” — presumably outside the state department—'‘showed undue Interest in the matter. •’We had evidence of an attempted shakedown and a request for a bribe,” McCarthy said. The state department announcement apiparently left open the possibility that some other agency was involved. It said its -investigation was confined to alleged misconduct on the part of a friendly foreign power or state department employes and found nothing. McCarthy, with obvious advance knowledge of the state department announcement, disclosed its contents three hours before it was released in a senate speech during debate on a bill giving his senate permanent investigations subcommittee $214,000 for this year’s work. Minor Auto Mishap Reported By Police An automobile driven by Hilda B. Stucky of Decatur and a pick-up truck driven by Carl Bauman figured in a minor mishap in the McConnell alley Tuesday. Damage to the two cars was estimated at S4O and there were no personal injuries.

Aga Khan Is Paid Weight In Platinum Traditional Rite Held In Pakistan KARACHI. Pakistan (UP)—The Aga‘Khan was seven pounds overweight when he sat down on a rotating scale before 50,000 persons to collect his weight in platinum today. . He had been expected to weigh in at 208 pounds, but he actually weighed 215. However, the Aga Khan, one of the world’® richest men, ordered the scales rigged against himself as an economy measure. So, when he sat down it compensated for his great weight. Each ounce of platinum counterweight equalled 14 of the Aga Khan’s pounds. When 15% ounces of platinum were placed in the silver tray in a ritual lasting about five minutes, they balanced his full weight. As they did, the scale flashed brilliantly, signaling to the crowd that this was the weight of their leader. —< Thus was enacted the centuries old ceremony commemorating his 70th anniversary as head of the Ismaili Moslem sect. ■ ■ - In previous years, tne Aga Khan had received his weight in golti and again in diamonds. The proceeds invariably are donated to charity. This year, he ordered the amount of platinum produced for the ceremony to be drastically reduced. It wai merely a symbol. “You’ve shown your gesture,” he told his followers. “Now I order you to use it for a better cause.” The cause will be a loan agency which the Aga Khan ordered to give financial aid to 30,000 Pakistani followers so that they may set up businesses or professions by 1960.

Ask Legislature To Legalize Marriages Two Dozen Couples 'Wed' By Student -FLORHAM PARK. N. J.. UP — More than two dozen couples looked to the New Jersey legislature today to straighten out the error of a misguided Presbyterian divinity student who "married" them without church or legal authorization. The legislature has been asked to legalize the marriages performed over a six-year period by John Vandergroef, a student pastor who didn't know he lacked the power the JoJn couples in wedlock. The couples, including many with children, were shocked to learn that their marriages are not recognized by the state of New Jersey and the Presbyterian church. “Oh for heaven's sake!” gasped "Mrs.” John O'Neill. She and O'Neill exchanged vows before Vandergroef at the local Presbyterian church In 1947. They have a son. State assemblyman William O. Barnes introduced a bill which w-ould make Vandergroef’s marriages legal,- retroactive to the date he performed them. The general assembly of thp Presbyterian church in Philadelphia has ruled that the marriages will be valid in the eyes of the church if the state makes them valid. Mead said. , Vandergroef himself was unavailable for comment, but his wife said they were "packing to leave Florham Park.” He resigned as pastor of the church last November. i “I can only say that he was the recognized head of the church," Mrs. Vandergroef said. “Further than that I have no comment.’* Records indicated Vandergroef had performed 25 or 30 marriages* since he took over the pastorship in 1946. $26,000 In Damages Sought For Injuries Judgment of $26,034.95 for alleged injuries suffered in a bicycleauto crash in July, 1952, is sought in a complaint filed in the court of common pleas in Van Wert, 0., by Thomas L.

Tax Revision Plan Assailed By Democrats Too Much Relief To Business, Little To The Consumers WASHINGTON, UP—Rep. Jesse P. Wolcott charged today that big tax cuts demanded by Democrats for low and moderate income families would lead to inflation even if it might # be "good politics in the short-run. ’* He said in an interview that "the Democrats are trying to break down confidence in the administration” and that some who complain about deflation" actually favor moves to create inflation.” The Michigan Republican is chairman of a senate-house committee that is conducting public hearings on the nation’s economic prospjects. William McChesney Martin. Jr., chairman of the federal reserve board, was called for questioning today. Democrats attacked —and secretary of the treasury George M. Mumphrey defended — the Eisenhower tax revision program at Tuesday’s session. Democrats said it would give too much relief to business and not enough to consumers at a time when the government should be stimulating consumption rather than production. This argument clovetailed with another Democratic charge, that the administration apparently isn’t prepared to move aggressively to combat a “recession." Humphrey vigorously denied that. Wolcott defended the administration tax program as "balanced” between the need for keeping up consumer purchasing powrer and the need to give business longrange incentives for expansion. Cutting income taxes sharply without giving business Incentives for expansion, he said, would be inflationary because it would increase consumer demand sharply and boost the federal deficit. Republican Reps. George H. Bender' of Ohio and Henry O. Talle of lowa said in separate interviews that the Democrats have demonstrated they are more interested in “partisan politics” than in economics. But Rep. Richard M. Bolling (DMo.) told a reporter “I do not believe the American people will regard concern over rising unenfployment as partisan politics.” Hoosier Sergeant Is Air Crash Victim * WASHINGTON UP — Sgt. 1-C Robert W.
