Volcano Blast New Threat to Hawaii Town Quake Tremors Slow; Residents Ready to Flee PAHOA, Hawaii, March 6. reported volcanic eruption and a blowout of steam to the west today posed new threats to this nerve center of relief work on the burned and quake-riven east tip of Hawaii.

But earthquake tremors, which had run through this town at a furious rate, died down this morning, leading to hope that Pahoa mitfht be spared. A pilot reported a fire, which volcanologists believed to be an 6 miles west of Pahca last night. Later the lire died down, but this, morning another pilot said he saw steam rising in the same general area. It was a period of anxious waiting, because the pattern of the week-long volcanic violence has been quakes, steam, then eruptions of lava. Volcanologist Gordan A.

MacDonald, who Was concerned with the report of a possible eruption to the north, said the dcrease in quakes could be a temporary matter and the trexnblors could pick up again. "It is a terrifying thing," MacDonald said of the prospect of an eruption in the new sector north of Pahoa. "It is the first time we have had the possibility of a major eruption in a populated area." He was referring to this eastern district of Hawaii, which has been ravaged since last Monday by a series of eruptions and earthquakes. East of Pahoa, where the eruptions came last week, two of three streams of lava still moved slowly toward the sea. The northernmos had cooled and stopped a mile from the coast.

The center flow still moved southernmost was only a short distance from the sea. Earth tremors at the rat. of 100 an hour were recorded last night as this town of 600--its population swollen to 1,000 by refugees-prepared for a mass flight at a moment's notice. 1 1 Escape Death In Crash of B36 LIMESTONE, March 6. --An Air Force B36, 10-engine bomber crashed and burned tonight on a snow-drifted runway at Loring Air Force Base, but officials said all 11 crewmen "miraculously" escaped serious injury, Col.

Jackson W. Lewis, base commander, said "Those boys were very lucky. The very thing that caused the accident apparently also saved their lives." Lewis said the plane, attempting a landing in a snowstorm, hit a snowbank and burned. He said the plane was a complete loss. The commander said the snow apparently cushioned the impact and helped slow the spread of fires igniting in fuel supplies.

Strategic Air Command headquarters at Omaha said five of the crewmen were hospitalized for burns. tin Today's Lenten Message Atomic Big Shot Slated for Today LAS VEGAS, Nev. March 6 --The Atomic Energy Commission decided tentatively today to fire tomorrow the oft-postponed big shot of the current test series.

She begins a career of adventures in today's Post-Standard. Start the day with a smile. Catch a glimpse of our would-be glamor gal on Page BY REV. A. ERNEST FRANCIS Presbyterian Church, Otisco The woman was grossly extravagant, no doubt about it.

That is, she was extravagant this time. Ordinarily she had little to be extravagant with, except, of course, the costly perfume in the expensive container, which she prized so highly and used so shrewdly. The people at the party said she was extravagant, and they pointed out how much good could have been done for the poor with the price that perfume would have brought in the market. What she had done was to break the flask, without even trying to remove the stopper, and to pour its contents unrestrainedly upon the feet of the guest of honor who was reclining, Oriental fashion, at the dining table. A bit startling, to say the least, espe- Rev.

Francis cially in this supercilious upper middle class home with its old-fashioned strait-laced conventions. Besides, some people say that she had quite a reputation, until she met the guest of honor shortly before the party, and then she was completely changed. This event didn't, help. His reputation, either. Afterwards the upper middle class shelved Him, the ecclesiastical hierarchy condemned He was tried before the governor, and executed as a dangerous criminal.

The woman and the honored guest had something similar, though different in form and degree. She had broken the lovely flask and poured out its costly contents with reckless abandon, because by Him she had been forgiven and cleansed and renewed, and her bursting heart must find expression. He gave his body to be broken, and His blood to be shed even as His amazing personality had been expended, for He had a truth to reveal and a power to impart and a joy to enter. Do you not think, friend, that the unlimited extravagance of the heart passionately yielded to the Divine Guest will be realized as no wastefulness, but as the wisest wisdom and the most saving surrender? Or do you just not think? Resolution Hits 'Brutal' Action In Gaza Battle UN Commission Defeats Jewish Ambush Protest GAZA, Egypt-Held Palestine, March 6. UK Israeli-Egyptian mixed armistice commission condemned Israel today for "brutal aggressions" in a "prearranged and planned attack" on Egyptian forces the Gaza strip last Monday night.

Newsmen asked him if that included the Nationalists' Matsu Islands, which he visited yesterday. He replied emphatically: "Anything." The admiral told reporters military aid to the Nationalists, would be increased. Stump said planners would meet before the end of this month to discuss such questions as a joint Nationalist-American command for the defense of Formosa.

"Storms of atheism, storms of militant materialism. "There are storms in your personal life.

"Can you, in the midst of the storms in your life, say like the Apostle Paul, 'I In his only allusion to current affairs, Graham said, "The problem we're wrestling with today is not Communism, not the hydrogen bomb it's human nature."
