SULLIVAN, who has worked for Kroger eight years, said 500 pounds of many varieties of fish will be air-expressed here from Florida, for the mall opening. Marsh Bakery, he said, will supply the store with fresh baked goods. And when the customer has finished his shopping, he can take advantage of the parcel-pickup system.

It works this way: Every push-cart will have two numbers on it, both the same. If a customer wished to store his groceries while he completes other business in the mall, he will take one of the numbers with him. While he is gone, his groceries will be tagged with the number kept safely stored, and his perishables placed in a walk-in-type freezer. WHEN HE RETURNS he will present his number, and receive his groceries. They will be placed in his car.

Krogers seventh Birmingham store will have about 45 employes, said Sullivan. It occupies about 20,000 square feet. Here for the opening will be these officials: F. A. Williams, vice president of the Atlanta division; Wayne Smith, manager of operations, Atlanta; and R.

Kresge (22) Bell Brothers Shoes, (23) ABC Store, Nation's weather Most areas have nice day BY CLAUDE KEATHLEY News religion editor A successful young businessman from Anderson, S. last night told how at the age of 15 he slammed the door of his heart to God and then until four years ago how he walked in sin. Larry Moorhead, now 30, was speaking to a congregation at the Eighty-Fifth Street Baptist Church in one of the churchs Laymens Christian Crusade series. On that Sunday morning I walked out of the church and told a friend, I dont see any room for God in my heart, Moorhead said as he, in simple language unfolded step by step his life of sin and his conversion.

AT 16 HE SAID he took his first drink, at 17 he was thrown out of one college and in rapid succession out of three other colleges because of his drinking. At the age of 20 I started gambling as well as drinking, the young businessman said. Over and over I promised my family things would be different but they never were, Moorhead said. My name was mud, even in the entire community, he added as he told of how parents of girls did not want him to associate with their daughters or sons. Moorhead told of how it was through his wifes sickness, the simple bedtime prayer of his small daughter, a ministers prayer with he and his wife resulted in his final and full surrender to God.

THE WHOLE WORLD looked different when I made the final surrender to God and immediately bought this Holy Bible, the first one I ever owned. Moorhead said as he held up the Bible to the audience. It isnt any fun to bring skeletons out of the family closet, and I tell you the story of my life of sin and degradation, for only one purpose, the young businessman said. It is to show that Jesus Christ is the only way out of a life of drunkeness or broken home, he said. I tell you now, from my own experience, what God has done for others, he can do for you.

S.

Court of Claims here early in September, an officer of the court has revealed. Arens, under criticism by several members of Congress and by some editorial writers for his management of the committee, denied earlier this year that he was considering quitting his post. But Wayne Roberts, chief deputy clerk of the court, said that Arens had been offered the job last January and accepted it. A claims court commissioner, Roberts said, has trial functions similar to those of examiners for regulatory agencies. THE 13 COMMISSIONER are preliminary trial judges, Roberts said, and listen to witnesses and accept evidence of fact.

A preliminary decision is rendered by a commissioner in a case, and he then sends this to the five judges for a final verdict. Earlier this year, James Dur-fee, chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Board, was appointed a claims court judge after considerable published criticism of his conduct. He was charged with accepting hospitality from airlines over which he had regulatory jurisdiction. Arens joined the House Committee on Un-American Activities in May, 1956, after 10 years of committee work on Capitol Hill, most of it for the Senate Judiciary Committee and its Internal Security Subcommittee.
