ALTOONA TRIBUNE Dec. 24, 1956 Stokes Says: (Continued from Page 4) Isher had been far more convincing because he described a plant that was already producing atomic power, while the American representative was speaking more theoretically of design and a type that had not proven. Not only that, but a Japanese commission had visited England and seen the Calder Hall plant in actual operation. Going on with his story, Senator Gore said, "I did the best I could to sell the administration's point of view, which you I attempted earlier this year rectify." This is a reference to his effort, supported by Senator Anderson, to get his bill enacted. He added that to Japanese officials he had "expressed confidence that.

Our supply of conventional fuel is very short and, therefore, must be imported Our demand for electricity is growing by leaps and bounds.

We must have atomic power the talk progressed, one of the Japanese staff said: "We could not understand why the United States congress defeated earlier this year the bill to bring about an accelerated program of reactor development." So the senator learned they had heard about the Gore bill and its fate. "You can imagine how tough it was for me to reply to this!" the Senator wrote to Chairman Anderson. "I explained, however, that the question unfortunately had become involved in partisan politics, that atomio power threatened to become an issue in the approaching presidential campaign and that the bill probably could be regarded as a victim of election-year politics." It hardly seems necessary to point out the moral in this tale.

the olden beacon of the one God, was split into contending forces, floundering to preserve faith. The Baptist quit the din and clutter left his priestly home behind. He spurned the puffed-up Pharisees, their precise, formal fixing of the law. With their artful scribes, they had gained ascendancy over the Sadducees, those wealthy allies of Rome who denied man's resurrection. legalistic Pharisees elaborated law until it was a hollow shell, naming 39 deeds as Sabbath work, declaring a man must carry no burden on that day heavier than a fig.

They used the lash and stonings. In the uplands, Samaritans cepted Hebrew law, but not the prophets. The Nazarenes, ling east of the Jordan, rejected temple rites as binding. Fierce Zealots carried daggers and swore death to all disloyal Jews. To the same realm of solitude as the Baptist went the Essenesthe bathers, who kept their and manuals of strict discipline scrolls a of scripture, hymn books in caves beside the Dead sea.

They numbered about 4.000. They too, spoke of a wondrous "Teacher of. Righteousness." was that the Baptist born about six months before Jesus of an elderly priest, Zacharias, and Elizabeth, a cousin of Mary's, left his doting parents early in life for the desert. There in that place of sun and sand and silences, with the cadences eternity in the wind and the stars caressing very of, hills at night, he found his swift, straight voice. When the time came, he stormed down from his fastness.

a blazing harbinger of the new Kingdom. The Baptist left his mark on many, for 20 years later, followers spoke of him in far-off Ephesus. But Herod Antipas, whom the Baptist dared to assail for an adulterous marriage, had him locked up in Machaoerus fortress as an incendiary, and beheaded. But the voice in the wilderness, that lonely cry on the border of a raucous, reeling world, had lit a new lamp, and lifted the veil on a light that leaped around the earth. (Tomorrow: The Visitor to Farth) Altoonan Absolved Of Blame In Accident A coroner's jury absolved Philip W.
