The Wednesday dust storm was) just worse than Tuesday's in Salina. The wind hit velocities of 50 miles an hour. More damage was being done to crop lands.

The storms Tuesday and Wednesday were the first of any severity in this area this year. Just how nuch damage has been! done to the wheat crop can't ac-' curately be estimated as yet. Most of (he dust seemed to be coming from implanted fields and feed lots but bare spots were shou-ing up in some wheat fields. Continued winds will enlarge these spots, ripping oul more wheat. In many places the wheat is up high enough to offer Some resistance to the wind.

The wind is supposed to die down Wednesday night and not in- 1 crease as much Thursday.

"To (hh end have I come into the world that I should bear witntsi to (he truth." Pilate shrugged. "What truth?" A chimera, an idle fancy! Pleased by his own sage realism, Pilate strode out of the praetorium, up the stairway and through the curtains out on the gallery.

A Passover custom was to pardon one criminal, a certainly the people wouldn't want him to free the vile Bar- abbas, a rebel and killer. Pilate raised his hand. "I've found no cause of death in this man, Jesus." He paused. "Whom shall I release unto you jHim or Barabbas?" The answer started, him. "Bar- jabbas!" As he fidgeted and the crowd milled noisily on the pave- jrnent, an attendant handed him a note hi his wife's handwriting.

"Have nothing to do with that righteous man," it said, "for 1 have suffered many things in dream because of Him." Angrily, Pilate crumpled i note in his fist. What did Claudis know of rule? He should have lefl her at his regular palace in Cae- 'sarea, 100 miles north. He'd come here to keep down Passover riots not argue with a woman! He stood up, glowering, "What then shall I do with this man, J-esus?" "Crucify him!" He Gives In Pilate reddened. So be it! He stormed back through the curtains. As fixed by law, he had the condemned man flogged with the three-thonged scourge, tipped with metal and bone.

The regulation number of blows-- 39. But back on the balcony, as he watched the soldiers bring Jesus, bloody and staggering, he again vascillated. "I find no crime in him."
