LEADER-TIMES, KITTANNING, PA. FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1961 Including Auto Industry Out With 3 New Models DETROIT (UPD-The auto industry introduced three new cars today, including a dream car with only two wheels. The two wheeler is the Gyron, a delta-shaped car developed by Ford Motor Co. it would have a gyroscope for stability and might be powered by fuel cells instead of a regular engine. The other two cars unveiled today, both coupes, were introduced by the Buick Division of General Motors Corp.

Unlike the Gyrpn, the two Buick cars are production models. One is the Skylark, a sports model with a high performance engine, a luxury interior and a $2,621 price tag. The second, which costs $2,330, is a standard two-door coupe in the special series of compact cars. The Gyron is the same length as the standard Ford but is 10 inches lower and 6 inches wider. The car will hold two people in contoured seats which support not only the head and back but the 240 Receive Polio Shots At SV School upper part of the legs as well.

It has no steering wheel. Instead it uses a dial with separate rings for automatic speed anti steering control. The car could be steered from either seat because the dial is located in a console between the seats and the car has dual acclerator and brake -pads. A 10-button panel, also located in the console, supposedly would control a built-in computer to help a motorist of the future "program" a trip in a non-stop expressway.

Hoover Blasts "Vigilantes" FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, in the April Law Enforcement Bulletin, severely criticized "vigilante action" by Americans combating communism. He did not mention any specific group. He said Communists stand to gain from every rift among the American people. "Unfortunately, this involves certain people across the country who engage in reckless charges against one another.

"The label of Communist is too often indiscriminately attached to those whose views differ from the majority," he added. Hoover said "this is neither the time for inaction nor vigilante action" against communism. "The ingredients for Communist groups in nations which have fallen under its spell always include a populace shaken with fear, hysteria and confusion.

today. "There is above all the danger of irresponsible counteraction by citizens who lena impetus to com- unism through inept attempts to fight this insidious menace." Hoover said the way to fight it 'is to study it, understand it and discover what can be done about it." Dodd did not say whether he would press for a full-Hedged investigation of the Birch Society. Chairman John L. McClellan, said his Senate Government Operations Committee has no plans to investigate the society because it has no jurisdiction. The committee and its permanent investigating subcommittee, also headed by McClellan, have broad investigative powers but only in matters affecting government activities.

By United Press International From a lonely cave on the ged coast of Maine to the dec of an aircraft carrier in Sa Diego Bay and an Hawaiia Beach, American Christians wil gather Easter morning to rejoic in an age-old cry. "Christ is risen." Most Americans will worship a Easter services in the church their choice.

Churches across the nation scheduled extra service and masses to accommodate the worshippers. Millions of other Christians planned to attend sunrise service on mountaintops, in natural out door amphitheaters, in cemeter ies, or under huge man-made crosses. Many of the services were sec ond or third generation affairs Some were expected to draw up to 100,000 worshippers. Fort Service Oldest The oldest continuous Easter sunrise service of its kind in the East was planned on the parade ground of Ft. Hamilton in Brooklyn.

The service, an institution since 1802 and once attended by Robert E. Lee and Stonewal Jackson, probably will be the last at the present site. The fort is being rebuilt to make way for the approaches of the Verrazano-Nar- rows Bridge. Among the sunrise services being held for the first time is one in McCormick Place, Chicago's vast new convention hall on the shore of Lake Michigan. It's expected to draw 5,000 pea-sons.

The service atop Maine's foot Cadillac Mountain usually heralded as the first in the nation was cancelled this year because of icy roads.

G. Gallagher, pastor of Templeton Methodist Church. Pallbearers were Blair and Terry Brown, Ron Baker, Delton Slagle, Fred Kennedy and Paul Walters. US Satellite Fails; Valued Samples Lost VANDENBERG AFB, Calif. (UPI)--Valuable biomedical samples, including human tissue that had been in space before, burned up high over the Pacific when Discoverer XXII failed to go into orbit late Thursday.

Scientists and engineers today studied bits and scraps of information radioed back from the satellite before it plunged back to earth to try to determine exactly what happened. Launched with a new precision guidance system, the 81-foot rocket appeared perfect when it streamed from its pad here and disappeared into an overcast sky. A recoverable capsule in the satellites nose carried samples of human joint tissue that had been aboard either Discoverer XVn or XVm both of which were recovered by high-flying planes off Ha- dead of all wars, and the altar was built with stones donated from all over the world. President Kennedy gave a block of granite this week to go with stones sent by former Presidents Truman and Eisenhower.

R. Templeton Smith, eague president, and George W. Shankey, president of the Grace Martin School here, made the accusations at a hearing before the commissioners in the court house. Other charges outlined at the Judge Alton A. McDonald heltf the Portage Area school district was within its rights to terminate the contract of Mabel Hopfer who had taught in the area for 43 years.

Miss Hopfer's attorney said he would file exceptions to the opinions for arguments at the next term of court. The case is the first of its kind in Cambria County and may set a precedent in the state. Miss Hopfer said lier compulsory retirement last year at the age of 62 reduced her social security benefits by 20 per cent.

Christian Drama (Continued from Page One) seen the evidence with his own eyes. It is equally clear, from the very naivete of the written records, that the disciples did not invent the story of the Resurrection as a sort of logical capstone to their theological suppositions abut Jesus. It was. the other way around. The event came first.

and it was only in the awesome light of that event that these rigorously monotheistic Jews could believe that Jesus, who if they had known as a very human person, was indeed "one with God."

Highways Official Sees $116 Million New Construction HARRISBURG (UPI) Highways Secretary Park H. Martin today announced million will be "at least" $116 committed for work on the federal aid secondary system, the 100 per cent state system and restricted bridges in the next two years.

The announcement brings to $483 million the amount Martin expects to have spent on Pennsylvania roads during the two year period. He previously announced a $367 million program dealing with interstate, primary and urban highways. Martin said the stepped up program for 100 per cent state roads and bridges was a result of the higher gasoline tax which goes into effect Saturday. The 1961 legislature increased the five-cent per gallon tax to seven-cents. The administration expects the extra two-cent levy to produce $74 million a year.

Martin said about 700 road and 500 bridge projects representing a total design program of about $215 million are in the "reservoir" of projects to be drawn upon. "This only the beginning of a badly needed long range highway improvement program to improve and modernize an old highway system that has been allowed to deteriorate too long," Martin said. difficulty in accepting the physical resurrection of Jesus as an historical fact. But there is nothing "modern" about the difficulty. The apostle Paul encountered precisely the same attitude in 56 A.D.

The Corinthians were proud of their reputation as a cosmopolitan people, willing to tolerate any religious belief from oriental mysticism to the temple prostitution Former Aides' Trial Is Recessed NEWARK (UPI) The month- old Federal Court conspiracy trial of six men linked with Pittsburgh financial wizard Earl Belle in a New Jersey bank swindle was recessed today until Monday. In testimony Thursday, Pittsburgh FBI agent Thomas J. Doody said one of the defendants, Ronald O. Kaiser, of Herminie, admitted having forged a $12,500 note in Belle's New York Hotel room on April 17, 1958.

According to Doody, Kaiser also said Belle and another defendant, Mitchell Ostwind of Pittsburgh, signed seven other $12,500 notes that were presented to the Manufacturers Bank of Edgewater, N.J., which had been bought by Belle interests. The six were on trial for allegedly misapplying $150,000 In funds of the now-defunct New Jersey bank. Belle fled to Brazil shortly before the state seized the institution and has refused to return to this country. He was not a defendant at the trial, although he was indicted with the six. Clouding and Rain Expected Tonight By United Press International Rain will fall in Pennsylvania late today, tonight and part of Saturday as a low pressure system from the southern Mississippi Valley moves northeastward and spreads cloudiness and rain over the state.

Clearing is expected in western sections of the state during Saturday afternoon. Low temperatures tonight will vary from the 30's in northern areas to the 40's elsewhere. High temperatures Saturday will be slightly lower than the 40 to 50 degree range of today. The tentative outlook for Easter Sunday is for partly cloudy to fair weather with a possibility of showers in the western portion. cult of Aphrodite, ready to welcome They were Christianity too, if PCLUI would only admit that his fantastic story about a resurrection was just another myth, full of symbolic value but not, of course, really true.

Not An Allegory But Paul, who was as well versed in Greek thought as anyone in Corinth, refused to modify his story to make it more palatable to politely skeptical intellectuals. In a letter to the Corinthians, he insisted that the resurrection of Christ was not an allegory, but a literal "fact" which was witnessed by more than 500 persons "most of whom are still alive." "This is what we proclaim: That Christ was raised from the dead," said Paul. "And if ChrLst was not raised, then our Gospel is null and we turn out to be lying witnesses." But in that case, Paul went on to ask, "Why do we face these dangers hour by hour?" Men may lie when it suits their convenience, but will they give their lives to perpetrate a hoax? Could anything have made the early Christians so nonchalant toward death except the certain conviction that Jesus had overcome it-for them as well as Tor himself? "The truth is," Paul concluded with the quiet authority of an eyewitness, "Christ WAS raised from the dead." And that is the good news that Christians will be celebrating throughout the world this Easter weekend, UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UPI) Ambassador Adlai Stevenson said in a television interview recorded today that he sees other solution" than a form of confederation for the Congo. Stevenson, who appeared on the recording session with Mrs, Eleanor Roosevelt, said the United Nations force is essential in the Congo until some solution to the crisis is found.

He said Congolese leaders are "groping" for a confederation system in their talks. At present, the Congo is technically a centralized government, ruled from Leopoldville, but it actually has at least three splinter governments, in Katanga, South Kasai, and Oriental provinces.
