Indian Leader Confident Os Cold War End Nehru Indicates Confidence In End By Peaceful Means .NEW DELHI (INS) — Confidence that the cold war will come to an end through processes of peaceful coexistence was expressed today by Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru. In an exclusive interview with William Randolph Hearst, Jr., edi-tor-in-chief of the Hearst newspapers, the Indian leader indicated he felt Soviet Russia’s rulers recognize thay can no longer hope to impose Communism on the entire world and they are therefore changing their basic policy Nehru cited two major factors which he said he thought would bring an end to the cold war through peaceful coexistence. They Were: 1. The terribly destructive power of nuclear weapons which rules out world war and makes it impossible for one side to impose its system on the other. 2. Economic developments of the modern atomic age and growing political consciousness of people which are causing an evolution of social systems that is tending to narrow the gap between Socialism or Communism and Democracy. "I believe this evolution will lend through peaceful coexistence to end the cold war,” Nehru said. “However, it will be gradual. You cannot end the cold war with some magic wand. It must be done step by step. One of the most important steps is to remove the fear of war.” Nehru’s views on the significance of recent political developments in Russia and how he thinks the cold war will eventually come to an end were expQunded in the course of nearly an hour’s interview with Hearst, who was accompanied by this correspondent. As we entered the Indian government building, which formerly housed the administration offices of the British viceroys o*f India, a military band from the Indian on what once was the parade ground of the imperial palace be fore India gained its independence. Nehru, who was wearing an Indian ackan tunic and narrow trousers, received Hearst in the spacious prime minister’s office.

Lenten Meditation (By Rev. Carlyle Seiple, Rivarre Circuit, United Brethren in Christ) « Jesus Christ maketh thee whole. Acts 9:34 -- . ' Theologians have tried to list the aspects or characteristics of man and have concluded that he is made up of three part?: body, mind and soul. All three parts make up a unit called man. Man is a complex being but with God there is nothing unknown about him. , Our text, which is a statement of Peter, shows that God, through Jesus Christ is also interested in the physical. Dr. Leo Kanner has said, “Physicians do not treat hearts or lungs lying between two bed sheets. They are now being taught to treat not only that which is sick but also him who Is sick.” Here is an implication of a spiritual need to be supplied. Missionaries also te|l us that it is almost Impossible to teach those who are in physical need. We conclude then, when one part of man suffers the other parts are affected. Tn a recent interview with a physician, by the writer, we were Informed that the individual who is ill spiritually is a very difficult “patient to treat successfully. , The physical and intellectual parts of man are Important but the spiritual is most important, because this is the part of man that is to live eternallv. Jesus told ns not to fear them that could kill the body but to fear him wbo Is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. b The complete man is one who. has his faith firmlv fixed In Christ and Is depending on him for both Spiritual and physical life. Prayer: Our heavenly Father graat to us divine grace, the faith, and common sense to accept thy plan of salvation and he made complete In Jeans Christ. * Amen —

King Jr., began an appeal today of his conviction as a Montgomery bus boycott leader - while fellow negroes vowed to continue their mass protest. Defence attorneys for the 27- > year-old pastor of the Dexter avenue Baptist church, who was found ’ guilty late Thursday of violating Alabama’s seldom-used anti-boycott law, said his appeal may lead ultimately to the U.S. supreme court.

Carter, who conducted the fourday hearing without a jury at the defendant’s request, fined the pastor SSOO plus $184.50 in court costs for his part in the 17-week-old boycott against segregated city buses.

The sentence was suspended, however, after his lawyers served notice of appeal. King's attorneys said that if the I state appellate courts uphold the ■ conviction, they will take the appeal to the U.S. supreme court. The maximum penalty Under the law could have been a sr,ooo fine and six months in jail but the judge explained he did not levy the more severe penalty because of King’s activities toward preventing violence during the boycott that began last Dee, 4k — The trials of 89 other negroes, Including 23 other ministers, were postponed pending the outcome of King’s appeal.
