Missing German Is Believed Kidnaped Search Pressed For West German Leader BERLIN (INS) — The U. S. high commission hi Germany announced today that the missing chief of West Germany’s intelligence service probably was trapped or forced to go to East Berlin where "he is presently being held.” 4 , The commission office in West Berlin revealed the results of its Investigation as security officers of the Bonn republic and the western allies sought for clues to the disappearance of Dr. Otto John. Some officials had expressed the opinion that John went over to the Reds voluntarily, but the U. S. investigation apparently turned up information not yet made public. The only evidence—which could have been planted—was a note indicating that Dr. Otto John crossed the border into the Soviet sector of his own free will. The note, written by a friend who was described as a "militant’* Communist said John “does not want to return to the west.” West German police clamped a secrecy lid on the case, but details of Dr. John's disappearance were revealed by other sources. The missing official is head of the Bonn government’s department for protection of the constitution and director of the vital anti-subversive intelligence network. John had come to Berlin for ceremonies commemorating the 1944 attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler, In which he played a part. He refused police protection during his visit. Tuesday night John took a cab to the Kurfuerstendam, a main West Berlin street. There he met a friend. Dr. Wolfgang Wohlgemuth, at the latter’s office. Wohlgemuth’s name was signed to the note which police later found in the office. Worried officials of the West German interior ministry established that the two men had left the office about 9 p.m. Tuesday night and described Wohlgemuth as a "militant" Communist who might have written the letter to avert suspicion that John had been seised by force. John's wife told police her husband had "enemies” in his own office and flatly labeled the disappearance “a despicable case of kidnaping.”

wheel turns ove. Dr. Foreman under the waterfall, the prayer is supposed to rise. Is a Tibetan who puts out one of those thing* the most spiritually mature person in any religion? Os course he I* not Jesus told a story about a Pharisee and'a tax-collector, both of whom prayed in the same temple to the same God. But the taxcollector grew by his prayer, while the Pharisee certainly did not When God said to the Israelites. “Though you make many prayers I will not listen." they were surely not growing by toe prayers they had made. le Still and Walt The trouble Is that 'ao many prayers are just variations on the one theme. '‘Gimme." They are selfish through and through, and selfishness never fails to shrink the soul Then some people in praying do all the talking and never listen to see if God is saying anything to them. "They that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength," the prophet says,—not those who talk loudest and longest "Be still and know" is as true as it ever was. For the laws of prayer have not changed since man and God first spoke with each other. The prayer by which we grow Is not just a one-way thing, a kind of telephone line on which we have only a transmitter and God only a receiver. There is such a thing as being too noisy with our desire* ind demands. ‘ln Everything—’ There Is another side to this. We ought never to feel shy about asking God’s ftelp at any time. Paul says to his friends at Philippi, no doubt from his own experience, "have no anxiety about anything, but in everything . . . let yopr requests be made known to God." Paul knew very well that God does not say "Yes” to all our requests. He was fa jail at the time he wrote those words. Is it likely he had never prayed to get out? We do know that before this time he had prayed to God earnestly to have a "thorn fa the flesh” removed. We do not know what that “thorn” was, perhaps a pain or a disease that could not be cured. Perhaps Paul hoped for some miracle to cure him. But God did not send the miracle; he sent something much better. Paul learned that God’s strength Is made perfect fa weakness, something he would not have known had he not been weak. So while we have every right to offer God our desires in prayer, we have to remember that he knows what is best, and not ws ourselves. • ‘The Throne of Grace* 1 In conversation, one of the best simple rules is: "Remember to whom you are speaking." This is just as true when we are talking with God as when we are talking with other people. That great phrase in Hebrews, the "throne of grace." expresses two vital truths. One is that our prayers are going to a Throne God Is the sovereign of this universe; his throne to Power itself. -There la nothing too hard for the God of the Throne. It I* a throne of judgment too; and God knows very well whether we ought to have our prayer* answered the way we want them, or not. We have access through Christ to come before God with boldness; but It is to a throne wa come, and we must nbt forget that We can never dictate to the throne. But It Is the throne of Grace. More than mere power sit* to control of al) thing* The true God to a God of love and grace and mercy. "He ’ knoweth our frame, he rememberetb that we are dust” God to iotually mor* interested fa our welfare than we are fa our own. God to more eager to help u* than we are to be helped. Our prayer* do not so much change God’s mfad and induce him to do something for ua. as they release the divine purpose on our behalf. This to whytt to ao important to grow, aa Christi ana, into the stature of Christ; for only aa we grow ChristUka can we become aware of what God’s gracious will to, and ao be able to pray aa Christ himself would pray.

Lady Senators Are Fresh, Bright-Eyed Colleagues Praise Two Lady Senators WASHINGTON (INS) — The two lady members of the U. S. senate, fresh and bright-eyed after 40 hours of the talkathon on atomic energy, won bipartisan praise today from their weary male colMajority leader William F. Knowland declared in the midst of a heated discussion on closing off debate: “The ladies of the senate have stayed with us all during the night sessions and the Republican party is very proud of them.” Sen. Hubert Humphrey (I> Minn.) quickly added: ''so are the Democrats." "" >1 The tribute was acknowledged by faint smiles from Sen. JBva Bowring (R-Neb.) and Sen. Margaret Chase Smith (R-Maine.) Sen. Bowring was loath to leave the senate chamber for a minute, although she admitted: ‘T don’t know if we are making any progress or standing still. But I want to be present if things start popping.” The lady cattle rancher, attired in a smart looking tangerine-col-ored suit, sat quietly with her hands folded in her lap during numerous roll calls. Occasionally she shifted position in her chair and arched her back to relieve fatigue, but her head never nodded in sleep. Sen. Smith divided the long hours between her office in the senate office building and the senate chamber. The attractive lady from Mainr, stylishly attired hr a navy blue dress with red and white polka dots, limited comment on the filibuster to the statement “I have always set through these long sessions.” She frequently was seen biting her nails, however, indicating she wate feeling the strain of the “windjammer." Most of the senators' wives apparently were too exhausted by the second all-night session to return for a third performance. Mrs. H. M. Kilgore, wife of the Democrat from West Virginia, and Mrs. R. C. Hendrickson, wife of the Republican from New Jersey, made a brave attempt to stand by their husbands. Mrs. Kilgore, wide awake under her gay straw hat with a band of red flowers laughed: “I am tough. My father was a Republican, and I married a Democrat, so you know I must be rugged. Only I wish I had known they would stay W agm idnlgfit.-i whs Here until midnight last night and I didn’t take a nap today." Staying awake was more of a struggle for Mrs. Hendrickson. She smiled “I brought my knitting, but my eyes are too heavy to work on it.”

SUNDAY AND YOUR CHILDREN By Mrs James R. Meadows The weekly day of rest is valued by those who are weary and by those -who have a sense of spiritual need. Among .those who' do not generally appreciate its value are children. Their time is largely spent in play, and they recuperate from weariness easily and quickly. To make the time pleasant and profitable to a ohUd it is necessary to see that his mind is occupied with suitable thoughts. Sunday is really a great opportunity for parents. The reading of Bible stories and of suitable general literature, heart-to-heart talks, and best of all see that they are in Sunday School every Sunday, to occupy the little mind and acquaint it- with the better things of life. The aim should ■be not merely to choose good things but the best things for ths day. Sunday should be looked forward to with joy by the parents who would serve the highest interest of the little children of the home. Take your children to Sunday School next Sunday. THIS WEE K’S Bl BLE VERSE “But if any provide not for his owu, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” —I Timothy 5:8.
