Speculate Danger Os Red Desertions Restraining Factor In Russian Planning WASHINGTON (INS) — U. S. officials speculated today that the danger of mass .desertions in case of war may be one restraining factor in Soviet Russian planning. They pointed out that ”4t was touch and go during the first months of World War II whether the Red Army would remain loyal.” There were mass desertions to the advancing German troops. Nazi excesses and atrocities helped the Soviets stiffen the backbone of the Red Army and convinced the fighting man that be was struggling to defend his homeland. Another factor was leadership and supply. In the beginning Red Army leadership was faulty and there were terrible shortages of everything, including guns. One official added, however, that once a Russian soldier got good supplies and once he was convinced he was fighting to defend his homeland “his record in combat was great." But, since World War 11, there have been other developments which might make the Russian leaders worry over just how much they can count on satellite loyalty if war comes. The East German revolt of stones against tanks in June 1953 was startling evidence of the latent power of the captive peoples to turn against their Red masters. Even in Asia, more than 14.000 Chinese Communist soldiers captured in Korea swore they would rather die than go back to Red China and they did not return. All these are weaknesses which U. S. experts believe the Russians must take into account when they weigh the advantages and disadvantages of war with the west. CHIANG HINTS (Continued rrnm F»re One clear by President Eisenhower.

CHURCH HEWS Union Chapel II Corinthians 8:1-15 was the basis of the message on "Proving the sincerity of our love,” which was brought by the Rev. William Snider at the Union Chapel church Saturday evening. In this portion of scripture, “Paul is telling the church at Corinth that the grace of God has been bestowed upon the churches. It has been stated that the church that is built upon the solid rock Christ Jesus will never be overrun by Communism. Divine love is unselfish, a proof of discipleship, puts God in the preeminence. Proof of the sincerity of our love is the denying of ourselves for the welfare of others, forgiving others and praying for others. We can only know this Divine Love if we have Christ living in our hearts.” A near capacity congregation heard the message Sunday evening. The scripture background was taken from Matthew 7:13-29

and was “The House that you Build.” The evangelist stated that “Christ would have us know that each one is a builder in'a spiritual sense in that we are all building our own Use. We can be one of two type builders, the foolish that build on very unstable and unsure foundation or the wise that build on the solid rock. There are testing times and that is a sure proof of our building. “One building on the sandy foundation or the foolish builders and building on the foundation of selfishness, public popular opinion or guilty conscience. "To build upon a sure foundation we will build upon Christ the solid rook. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” Tuesday evening a group of young people from the Hebron Evangelical United Brethren church Iwill bring the message in song. Wednesday evening a trio of young men from Berne will bring | the special music.
