Late Pope’s Diary Shows War Hatred

„ «l SQPIIS 6. GOODWIN (MM Vnm lntematiMial *•' 1 ROME (UPD—To Pope John XXIII, the army barracks was terrible * and he wrote in his diary, “how ugly the world is, what dirt, what filth!” That was in 1901, when the j , late Pope was in the army. It s i$ onp of the entries contained r . in the diary which Angelo Roncalli kept from the age of* 14 to 81—a year before bis death —and which appeared in Italian book stores today under the title, “II Giornale Dellanima” (Journal of a Soul). Hie Pope spoke with rare bitterness of his military serv”T ice, saying “I had to submit myself to military service which is an unjust and barbarous imposition on the ministers of God.” Later he drew this lesson { from his military experience: Four Declarations Os Candidacy Filed Four more declarations of candidacy have been filed in the county clerk’s office. Henry O. Getting, route 1, Decatur, filed h i s candidacy for county commissioner from the •7 first district, subject to the Demoir cratic primary. He is the second person to file for the Democratic nomination from the first distict, as Gerhard Bultemeier recently filed. Thurman Baker, of Geneva, filed his declaration of candidacy for delegate to the Democratic * * state convention from district 8, k . while Elisha 0. Merriman, route 1, Monroe, filed for the trustee on the Adams Central community • — school board from district 6. *'■-■* Cal E. Peterson, 215 S. Fifth St., filed his candidacy for delegate to the Republican state eonvention from district 10. He is llh toe first Republican to file for ’ delegate.

Servant Os God “I do not live for other than to obey the signs of God like a little solder at attention before his superior.. .1 am a servant.. and the Lord has shown me His orders. ..1 love health. Here is sickness. God sends it to me. Well, may sickness be blessed then.” Pope John was drafted in November, __ 1901 and served as a non-commissioned officer in the medical corps. The man who later wrote encyclicals hailed by the working classes and who did more to ease tension between the Vatican and Communist world than any other church figure of this century wrote this way about a May Day demonstration in 1903: “The workingmen, but without religion and without God, the poor, exploited by the demagogues, the unconscious crowd lives it up today, bawling its mainly Utopian ideals which, at times most just, are almost always deformed and pro- * saned.” Collection Os Notes The diary is a collection of notes that shed light on Pope~ John’s spiritual life from his young years in seminary until one year before his death in 1963. On July 9, 1961, Pope John told his private secretary Msgr. Loris Capoville that he could publish the diary, but only after his death. “My soul,” he said, “is in these pages.” Msgr. Capovilla recounts in the preface to the book that Pope John said to him that evening as he leafed through pages of the diary: “ “I was a good boy, innocent, a little timid. I wanted to love God at all costs and I didn’t think of anything but being a priest. . .And meanwhile I struggled against an enemy in myself, the love of myself. . .1 took everything seriously and the examinations of conscience were detailed and severe...”

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

State Fire Marshal Changes Suggested

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — A legislative study committee to- 1 day recommended that qualifi- 1 cations be established for the office of Indiana state fire ! marshal and that the governor no longer be permitted to ap- 1 point anyone he wishes to the political patronage job. ' The Fire Marshal Laws Study Committee was created hy the Indiana Legislative Advisory 1 Commission after the Indiana 1 State Fairgrounds Coliseum ex- ' plosion last Halloween which 1 killed 74 persons. Fire Marshal Ira Anderson was indicted on a charge of : failure to inspect the Coliseum. 1 Anderson is a former state 1 senator who was appointed by Governor Welsh to the office although he had no formal I training for the job. This has been a political tradition of many years’ standing. His pre- , vious experience in fire protec- | tion and prevention was mem- s bership in a volunteer fire department. The report was one of 11 ] scheduled to be given during a day-long session of the advisory , commission. Not to Investigate ' The report noted that it had ( “determined that the committdb ( was not directly concerned with investigation of the ill-fated Coliseum explosion.” and had directed its attention “entirely to possible remedial legislation.” —j The recommendations were: —That a seven-member State Fire Prevention Commission of lay persons be created, and that it have considerable supervisory power over the fire marshal’s office. 1 —The commission would set 1 “certain general qualifications” 1 for the fire marshal, who still would be appointed by the Governor subject to those qualifications. : —TTiat deputy fire marshals also should be named “subject 1 to the broad qualification of interest and experience as established by the State Fire Prevention Commission.” —That investigators named by the fire marshal also should first pass an examination “of a nation - wide standard as ad- ; ministered by the National Board of fire Underwriters or similpr organizations.” —That local fire marshals should continue to retain their positron as deputy state fire marshal, as already provided by a 1913 law. but that the state 1 fire marshal may step into local fire prevention and enforcement under certain conditions. The committee proposed that the state commission serve as a hearing board whenever a complaint is filed with it “concerning the performance of -a * { certain local fire marshal” and 1 that upon a finding by the com- J mission, the state fire marshal ! may “actively participate in local fire prevention and enforcement in the affected communi- ' ty” i Recommend Drain Boards 1 The Indiana Water Resources Study Committee, in another . report to the LAC, recommended that a five-member board be created in each county which would have “the sole authority to carry out the purposes and directives” of a new law spelling out construction, repair and 1 maintenance procedures for drains and ditches. The Committee on Utilization of Available Lake County Labor submitted a report noting that unemployment problems in that area are “primarily among un- 1 skilled workers’’ and adding that it believes institution of on-the-job training by Bethlehem : and Midwest steel companies ! “would be desirable.” The report" said several committee members “have expressed concern over a tendency on the part of the steel companies to retain 1 out-of-state contractors.” The Administration of Employment Security Act Study ! Committee, in its progress report, said it is “giving serious : consideration” to a law which would prevent employes from filing applications for unemployment while still working “in anticipation of unemployment some time during the year.” The committee found that about 200.00 such applications are filed annually resulting “in in-

LIKE A HOUSE OF CARDS—In describing his system for erecting apartment buildings, a Redwood City, Calif., builder says it’s like building a card house, as these photos show. The only thing is that each card weighs from 10 to 12 tons. All of the 750 concrete slabs used in these apartment buildings were cast at the site, and were raised into position. It’s more expensive than conventional building, but lowers maintenance costs. • , " ...» . . " ’

Now edifices* ard, built and reflect modern struction methods. space is apparently employed to full advantage. It evinces no undue luxury.” Held For Slaying i Os Estranged Wife CRAWFORDS VILLE, Ind. — <UPI) — A contractor who s.hot himself faced murder charges today in the slaying of his estranged wife during an argument. Authorities said a preliminary charge of first-degree murder w'as filed in Montgomery Circuit Court Tuesday night against Owsley Buckles, 48, Wingate, shortly after the shooting of his wife, Frances, 51, in an apartment here. Police said Mrs. Buckles, who sued for divorce last month; was shot once with a high-powered rifle. She was dead on arrival at a hospital. Buckles was shot through the left shoulder and was rushed to a hospital in Indianapolis where he was listed in satisfactory condition today. But officials said he may lose use of his left arm. Mrs. Buckles was shot at close range, police said. Another shot fired at Mrs. Buckles traveled through three houses but no other persons were hit. COURT NEWS Motion Filed A motion to make more specific was filed in the complaint for accounting case of Quality Foods, Inc., vs Paul Reidenbach. Set For Issues On a motion of the plaintiff, the case of Herman A. Lengerich vs Francis Wilkerson Roberts and Roland O. Roberts, was set for issues April 2 at 9 a.m. Lengerich filed a complaint for damages against the two following a truck- . trailer accident on U. S. 224 three years ago. Divorce Granted In the divorce case of Earlene Lynch vs. George Lynch, the defendant was granted an aboslute decree of divorce and her maiden name of Earlene Cummings was restored to her. Costs were assessed the defendant. Estate Case An executor’s petition to sell real estate was filed in the Anna McCune estate and was submitted, examined and approved.

The Story Os Easter First Easter Led To Birth Os Church

By LOUIS CA9SELS United Press International No period of human history has received more exhaustive scrutiny by scholars than the four days which began on the 13th of Nisan (April 6) in the year A.D. 30. During those four days, in the city of Jerusalem, a young Jewish rabbi named Jesus of Nazareth w» arrested, tried as a troublemaker, arid put to death by Roman authorities. Such executions were so commonplace in that era that the event would scarcely have rated a footnote in history except for one extraordinary circumstance. The followers of Jesus, who had fled in panic at the time of his death, returned to Jerusalem a short while later and boldly proclaimed that he had risen from the dead. They said that he was the Christ, the very love of God incarnate in a human personality, and that by his life, death and resurrection he had opened to all men away of escaping .from the bonds of sinful selfjenteredness and of entering into a new life as the forgiven sons of God. Many people then, as now, found this “good news” hard to believe. But others found the Apostles’ faith contagious, and after testing it in the laboratory of their lives, they too became convinced that Jesus “is living still”- and that through Him God is “reconciling the world unto Himself.” So was born the Christian church. In due time, the church recorded its memory of Jesus’ teachings, and particularly of the tlimactic events of his last week. The earliest writings, dating from about 51 A. D., were letters which the Apostle Paul wrote to various Christian congregations in Asia Minor. Mark’s gospel was written about 70 A. D., possibly by one of Paul’s young misionary assistants. Soon thereafter came the more detailed Gospel which bears the name of Matthew, and the two icarefully-researched books written by the physician Luke, a gospel and an account of the Acts of the Apostles. Scholars formerly thought that the fourth Gospel, which bears the name of John, must have been written much later. This conclusion was based on textual evidence which seemed to date the document sometime in the second or even the third century after Christ. But the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls has put this evidence in a new light. It is now clear that the fourth Gospel could have been, and probably was, written in the first century. These writings, preserved by the church as the New Testament, are the main source of information about the events of the first Easter. During the past century, they have been subjected to detailed and relentless research. Philologists, archaeologists, historians and theologians in hundreds of universities and seminaries have put literally every phrase of the New Testament to the test of critical inquiry, in- an effort to distinguish authentic historical facts from any

legendary coloring or metaphoric “heightening” that may have crept into the story as it was told and retold by the early Christians. This ruthlessly objective analysis has distressed many Christians, who look upon the Bible as the verbally-inspired Word of God, to be received on faith as literally true in every detail. But to others, who has been unable to accept the Biblical record simply on the basis of “authority,” the results of New Testament criticism are exciting and inspiring. “The fact that the New Testament has been thrown open to the freest and most searching examination must be reckoned a great gain,” says Prof. Ernest F. Scott of Union Theological Seminary. “The New Testament has been examined more strictly than any other book. The main facts as to its origin have been verified on the fullest available evidence. Every possible doubt has been put forward and magnified. As a result of all of this sifting, many of our old conceptions of the New t Testament have b ee n changed, but its claim ft’as been established more surely than ever. “We can now feel certain that the facts are set before us with essential, fidelity.” In the next four dispatches, the events which took place in Jerusalem during the middle of the morith of Nisan in the year A. D. 30 will be retold, as the facts are recorded in the New Testament, with due regard for the light that has been shed on the record by modern scholarship. (Next: The Betrayal) Two Persons Hurt As Autos Collide Two persons were hospitalized Tuesday afternoon with injuries suffered in a two-car accident at the intersection of Marshall and Third streeets. Mary Alice Kitson, 27, of 633 N. Tenth St., suffered two broken ribs and a contusion to the head, and Ina May Miller. 70, of 724 W. Adams St. received a cut to the left hand, to the left arm and cuts on both knees. They were the drivers of the two autos involved. The Miller auto was northbound on Third street and struck on the left side by the Kitson car, which was westbound on Marshall and failed to stop for the stop sign. Mrs. Kitson was arrested and charged with disregarding a stop sign. She was cited into city court. Damages were estimated by the city police at $1,500 to the 1961 model Kitson car and SBOO to the 1958 Miller vehicle. A light pole owned by the city, which was knocked down by the Kitson car after the collision, received an estimated $125 damage. New York Stock Exchange Price MIDDAT PRICES A.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH IS. 19M

Production Credit Associations Meet Indiana’s ten Production Credit Associations combined their 30th anniversary celebration with their annual director-manager conference in Indianapolis Monday and Tuesday. Some 250 Hoosier farm leaders attended the meeting at the Marott Hotel climaxed by a Monday night banquet address by C. R. “Cap” Arnold of Hilliards, Ohio. Arnold is characterized as ‘‘father of the Production Credit System in the United States.” The Eastern Indiana Production Credit Association was represented by Marion A. Clawson, president; Ray Hickman, vice president; Harry Stoner, Van Eller and Alvin Honegger, directors, as well as Forrest E. Dunman, general manager. In his address Arnold expressed gratification at the continued and steady growth of the system in serving farmers in their ever increasing requirements for short-term and intermediateterm farm credit. One-time governor of the Farm Credit Administration, he was in charge ol organizing the nation-wide network of local production credit associations. Tbe 536,000 farmermembers of these 484 production credit associations feve repaid 99.9 per cent of the S9O million invested in PCA capital stock by the U. S. government. The associations now have a net worth of $404 million and in 1963 loaned $3.6 billion. Indiana’s ten PCAs provided their 14,437 borrowing members with $132 million in loans in 1963. The system’s progress was credited by Arnold upon an early decision to decentralize authority for the operation of the associations to the farmer-directors of the local PCAs. Other features of the program included an address on objectives, plans and challenges by Homer Hayward, president. Federal Intermediate Credit Bank of Louisville; a panel discussion of “Lessons Learned from Our History,” by Walter Brown, senior vice president of the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank of Louisville; Cecil Lepley, Pleasant Lake farmer, and John Craft, Kingsbury farmer; and a panel discussion of “PCA From a Director's Viewpoint” by Phares White, Ray Hickman and Otto Cessna, farmers from Oxford, Jonesboro ar.d Rochester, respectively.
