Millionaire Shot To Death In Home Shooting Witnessed By Victim's Wife NEW ALBANY, Ind. fUPD — A self-made millionaire was shot to death in his fashionable ranchtype home late Thursday night and authorities withheld a verdict pending a thorough investigation. Coroner Daniel Cannon said Ferd Kahler, 71, probably died “instantly" when a bullet from a 38-caliber revolver passed through his skull from thq right side. Cannon said Kahler, who owned an auto body manufacturing firm here, was shot from close range. He said the shooting was witnessed by Kahler’s wife, Maude, who became hysterical afterwards. Authorities said they learned that Kahler, a member of a local gun club, was “playing” with a gun he thought was loaded with blanks. Cannon said he would withhold a verdict fcr “a day or two.” He said the “possibly was not intentional.” More Cub Scouts Visit Democrat Three Cub Scouts of den 4 toured the Decatur Democrat office Thursday afternoon. Accompanied by Mrs. Don Williams and Mrs. Fred Sudduth, the boys visiting the building were Danny Strickler, Donald Williams, and Gerald Sudduth. Little Miss Cindy Williams was also a guest. A recent survey indicated that today's average American child is two pounds heavier at the age of 7 and a§_, much as 13 pounds heavier at 14 than was the average youngster of 20 years ago.

Ike Warns Against Cut In Foreign Aid Force Far Greater Military Spending WASHINGTON tUPI) — President Eisenhower warned today that any cut in the foreign aid budget will force “far greater” military spending. The President spoke to a meeting on international exchange of persons, sponsored by the Institute of International Education. Most of his brief, prepared speech was devoted to the need for greater “people-to-pdople diplomacy” in the cause of mutual world understanding. But his speech carried a plain warning to the heavily Democratic Congress not to cut foreign aid. He said that those who advocated cutting his mutual aid and loan programs did not fully understand what these mean to national safety and world peace. “Any cutback of present budgetary levels for our mutual security program,” the* President, said, “would require adiditional outlays for our own security forces, far greater than any 1 amount that could be so saved.” Noblesville Man Is Killed |n Crash NOBLESVILLE, Ind. <UPI) — Clarence E. Parks. 41, Noblesville, was killed and his wife, Gladys; 40, was injured Thursday when their car skidded on ice and rammed into a utility pole on a city street. Studebaker To Make 84 Cars Each Hour SOUTH BEND. Ind. <UPD - President Harold E. Churchill of the Studebaker - Packard Corp, said today the firm is ready to move into a February manufacturing schedule of 84 cars an hour with an additional 700 men on its production force—the fourth production hike since 1959 models beganfonihgoffasseThblylThes last September. SPACE AGENCY Continued from page one Variety Os Weapons fiefense Secretary Neil H. McElroy testified that Russia would have more intercontinental missiles than the United States in a year or two. But he said this country was not trying to match the Soviets missile-for-missile. McElroy explain e d that the United States was relying on a variety of weapons to deter war. He said these included manned bombers and missile-firing submarines as well as ICBM's. Maj. Gen. Bernard A. Schriever, Air Force ballistic missile chief, told the Senate investigators that this country should be building more ICBM’s to meet the “very great danger” posed by the Russian strength. Schriever said the United States has the capacity to increase its ICBM power considerably. He urged that a speed-up in the U.S. program “be given serious consideration over the next several mdnths.” No Airborne Alert In another development, the head of the U. S. Strategic Air Command said that his bombers are not constantly on “airborne alert” as has been reported. Gen. Thomas S. Power said he would like to keep a force of bombers in the air at all times and the fact that he does not was due to decisions at a higher level. Pentagon sources later explained, however, that increasing numbers of H-bombers are kept on runway alert ready to take off within 15 minutes- after an alarm. They said bombers also are constantly in the air on training flights. Rural Churches PLEASANT MILLS METHODIST Billy J. Springfield, pastor Church school, 9:30 a.m. Worship, 10:30 a m.

Is Two Worlds Lesson for February L l.M® ONE WAY the enemies of Jesus tried to ruin him without going to the extreme of violence, was to try to make him ridiculous, to show him up as a teacher without answers, a sage without wisdom. So they asked him one day a question they could not have dared to answer them- MESTIMBI selves. Since Pal- ■ estine was an W occupied country ; at the time, it was a very hot 1 question indeed: ‘ Is it right to pay iW’g; taxes to Rome? “Yes” would B mean the map who answered Foreman was a traitor to his people; “No” would get a man into jail. The Fact tie Mosey Jesus’ answer was not all Yes nor all No. As he had done before, he put the question right back to ■ the questioners. First he asked to ’ see a denarius. The very name of the coin was Roman; it would be 1 about what a workman in those ■ days would make in a day. Os course the only money the Romans would accept for taxes would be Roman money. Like all hard money, this piece had a picture on it, and some words tn Latin around the edge of it. JESUS forced the priests’ spies to admit that the picture was of His Majesty the Emperor, then Tiberius Caesar; and the Latin words also referred to him. In short, the whole thing was Roman. They would be reminded that the Romans came to Palestine in the first place by the Jews’ request; that they had brought peace to the torn land; that the roads and public safety were maintained by the Romans ... all with tax money. Some of the tax denarius would stay right in the province. The face on the money spoke for itself. The Imperial Government had a right to lay a tax. “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar,” Jesus said; but added in the same breath—"and to God what belongs to God." Iwe Werlte Ever since that moment, both followers and critics of Jesus have had trouble figuring out precisely what Jesus meant. One thing does seem clear enough. For the moment, he was shutting the mouths of those who tried to make him look silly. Without saying Yes or No to their tricky yet practical question, he called their attention to the fact that they owed Caesar something, and owed God something: and perhaps hinted that they were behind with their installments on both accounts. However, looking beneath the surface of Jesus' brilliantly simple answer, we can see a truth which is just as good for America as it is or was for a province of the Roman Empire centuries ago. Every man, whether he realizes it or not, is a citizen of two worlds. One is the human world around him, as in America here. All of us owe America a great deal. We can appreciate our country more if we stop to think that more people would like to move here, than to any other country on the globe. Our country has * right to our loyal support. The other world is called the Kingdom or Realm of God. It is not visible always ("it cometh not with observation"), but it ia far more important, and infinitely more enduring, than any human commonwealth. If we owe our country much, we owe the Kingdom of God yet more. Many Problem It is not easy to say, indeed impossible, just where the kingdoms of this earth end and the Kingdom of Heaven begins. People speak of the two worlds as distinct; other people say they overlap. One thing is sure: if they overlap, they do so in us, for we are citizens in both worlds. This raises many problems, especially where the two worlds overlap. Suppose the State says a thing is wrong which I know as God sees it* is right ? Suppose the State commands me to do something I am quite sure God forbids 7 I know I should be a good cttisen; but can I be a good citizen and go against my conscience ? One thing is sure. If I try to be a citinea ot man’s world only, I shall find myself sometimes fighting against God. But if I take my eitiaenship in God’s world only, I shall ba Indifferent to my human brothers and sisters. Only by loving both God and man can I be ft good Tftism of both world*. _ ■ V—- - ' .*

about religion.” No time for Jesus? But what are they without Him? They have no hope beyond this fleeting life it, they refuse to have’time for Jesus who is the hope of the ages. How much life can they have apart from Him Who is the Life-giver? How much light can they enjoy if they refuse to let Him who is the Light of the world come in and give them light? What, no time for Jesus? So soon can their life be • snuffed out, and they be laid beneath .tha sod. How can they rise to be with Christ if they refuse the help of Him who is the “resurrection and the life?” They have no keys with which to unlock the • tomb; What can they do without Him, the only One, who has the keys of death and the grave?
