Ussery was the speaker for the opening dinner in the DePauw University Union, the kickoff of the yearly weekend of study and recreation for key Methodist men in Indiana. The insurance executive said it is impossible to believe in Heaven and the resurrection of Christ and not believe in tithing. “You cannot separate these great truths— you must believe all or none,” he said. “I am convinced beyond a reasonable doubt,” Ussery said, “that Jesus was more concerned about how men feel toward their material possessions than how they feel toward prayer and Heaven or Hell. He knew how easy it was, and would be. for men to put dividends above decency, cash above character and profits above people.” Ussery said he had never met an “unhappy tither,” and never

POLITICAL EYES ON MAINE—A clue to how the political tide is running may be furnished by Maine’s election Sept. 8. Popular Democratic Gov. Edmund S. Muskie is trying to win Frederick G. Payne's U. S. Senate seat. Any hopes the GOP nas of winning Senate control certainly cannot be predicated on losing that one. House-wise, the Democrats are looking to re-elect fcep. Frank M. Coffin. And the Republicans must be worried about Rep. Robert Hale. In 1956 he won by 29 votes. Maine’s third House seat seems safely GOP.

Reds In France
Shape Strategy
PARIS (UPI) Red leader: shaped strategy today to kill Premier Charles de Gaulle’s new constituttion which they feared might doom the Communist Par-
ty in France.
Members of the Central Committee were summoned to an emergency meeting to examine the Red Crisis. They met at suburb in Gennevilliers, with Jaeque.Duclos, National Assembly floor
leader, presiding.
The Communists declared wai on De Gaulle because his “strong man” constitution for a Fifth Republic would permit only demo- , ciatic parties to operate in
France.
i French voters are expected to I aporove the constitution in th c ! Sept. 28 referendum.
TOKYO (UPI) — Red China* Premier Chou En-Lai today rejected America's latest warning against starting a war in the
Far East.
A Chinese-lnnguage broadcast from Red Peiping reported Chou’s rejection of the warning issued Thursday by Secretary of State John Fostti Dulles. Dulles said President Eisenhower would not hesitate to use U. S. armed forces to insure the defense of Formosa "if he judged that circumstances made this
neressar}\"
He added that “the securing • j and protecting of the outpost islands of Quemoy and Matsu have increasingly become related to
the defense of Formosa.
Chou made his remarks in a broadcast beamed to domestic listeners in Red Chma. He said he had been ofdeted to issue a statement in answer to Dulles. “Taiwan Formosa has been Chinese territory from the dis-
tant past,” Chou said.
He said Communist China has the “right to liberate” Taiwan and the Pescadores Islands, and asserted that thiis ’’Jiberation” would have taken place long ago if the United States had not in-
terfered.
Hr said all nations of the woili recognized Taiwan end the P'saadores Islands as Chinese territory. The islands are held by the Nationalist Chinese, and Chou, of course, was talking about the Communist Chinese. Speaking about the stepped-up artillery bombardment of the offshore islands of the Quemoy group Cnou said Communist China had “the right” to take military action for ! ts own secur-
ity.
Ho said that fi’lowing “V Q . inlervention” among the Arab countries of the Middle East, Nationalist troops, which Peiping refers to as “tools of the U. S.,” had stepped up propaganda an . military activities in the offshore island groups. Chou said Communist China and its 600 million people cannot be shaken from determination to liberate Taiwan and the Pescadores. Hr: said warnings by the United States, rather than frightening the Chinese people, only make their determination to retake the Nationalist Chinese strongholds that much stronger.
