Pastor's Fast
4n Missouri
In 39th Day
CHERRYVILLE, Mo. X - The
fasting preacher of the Ozarks,
hollow-cheeked and apparently
too weak to stand alone, told his
wife Wednesday "if the Lord
wants me to die, I'm ready to go."
The Rev J. J. Ivie says he
hasn't eaten for 38 days and has
sworn to continue the fast until
his prayers are answered for a
spiritual revival against the
world's sinfulr.es:. and Commun
ism or until he dies.
His wife said today, however.
she Is confident he will receive
divine word that will cause him to
end his fast.
Shaken by spells of retching, the
87-year-old pastor of the Assem
bly of God Church said that Moses
fasted for 40 days and received a
message from God.
Ivie has signed a statement to
Jrotect his family from possible
egal action in the event of his
death. Mrs. Ivie said he has given
her strict instructions not to per
mit a physician in the house, even
if he becomes unconscious.
The preacher has lost about 26
pounds since he began his fast on
Sunday, April 20, and now weighs
only about 130 pounds, family

For 3 Boys
PORTLAND (JP) A suit was
filed here Wednesday, seeking for
three boys the $2180 they fished
from a pond a week ago.
Lynn Edwin Hill, Myron Ward
Whitcomb and Melvin LeRoy

package floating in an old fish
pond-, pulled it ashore and' found
the money inside in $5, $10, and
$20 bills.
They turned the money over to
sheriffs deputies who believed it
belonged to James Stevens, 71, a
recluse who lived in a nearby
house until his death last Febru
ary. In the suit. Attorney William J.
Crawford said the original owner
and loser was unknown and that
the boys should have the money.
Coroner E. Floyd South, ad
ministrator of Stevens' estate, has
demanded the money from Sher
iff Terry Schrunk. The sheriff
said he would wait for a court to
determine what to do with it.
Meantime he planned to give
certificates of merit to the three
boys for their honesty.
members estimated. Mrs. Ivie, and
the three sons and one daughter
gathered at the home, obviously
were concerned over his condition.

24-Hour Race to Build House,
Farm Sot Today in Washington
MOSES LAKE, Wash. (JP) A rocket bomb, fired a minute after
midnight, starts a unique race against the sun Thursday for 100 vol
unteer workers who will build a complete, 80-acre farm in one day.
They'll start. virtually from scratch, working under floodlights at
first. The farm must be ready by 4:30 in the afternoon for the sym
bolic flow of first water to the million-acre Columbia Basin Irrigation
Project.
While hundreds watch, the farm-in-a-day
crews will put in crops
of potatoes, beaas and corn, plant
a lawn and shrubbery, erect three
animal and equipment buildings,
and top It off by building an ultra
modern, seven -room house com
pletely furnished, even to milk in
the ice box.
Won by Veteran
The whole thing is figured to
be worth $75,000 and it goes free
to Donald Dunn, a 30 - year - old
Yakima implement salesman who
was judged "the most worthy vet
eran" in a national contest.
Dunn expects to move in Thurs
day night with his family and his
parents from Kansas.
The farm-in-a-day stunt is a
feature attraction of the 11 -day
festival marking the start of the
irrigation project, largest ever at
tempted by man in this country.
Some 80.000 acres will be irrigat
ed this year.
Fete Ends June 1
The festival, which ends June 1,
has been building up to the big
show here, three miles north of
this Eastern Washington town.
Reclamation Commissioner Mi
chael Straus, who has said the
Basin Project means a new state
in the union, will preside at the
first water ceremony.
This region has waited 50 years
for this water, pumped uphill from
the Columbia River and carried
to the arid acres through an elab
orate canal system. Local civic
groups have worked for six
months to complete the symbolic
delivery here. Dunn will have to
wait less than 24 hours.
The volunteers include painters,
plumbers, carpenters, electricians,
roofers, masons, farmers and ce
ment finishers. Materials for the
farm have been donted by 45
suppliers in the Northwest.
Donatinr Labor
Fifty - five building contractors
have agreed to send men. Union
craft workers are donating their
time and skill.
Dunn, who was wiped out of
his dry-land Kansas farm by the
1051 flood, will watch as the
swarm of men start work first on
his house. The concrete footings
are already in.
They'll fit prefabricated pieces
in place, install beams, rafters,
center posts and window frames.
Masons will lay 3,000 bricks for a

Sen. Russell in
Second Spot
In Demo Race-
By The Associated Press
The South posted a double-barreled
claim for the lead in the
Democratic presidential sweep
stakes Wednesday as Dixie's Sena
tor Richard B. Russell edged past
the East's W. Averell Harriman to
take over the No. 2 spot.
Still far out in front was the
hard - running Senator Estes Ke
fauver of Tennessee.
Russell gained slightly on Ke
fauver in the nationwide race for
delegates to the Democratic presi
dential nominating convention by
apparently picking up 19 votes to
5 for Kefauver in the Florida pri
mary. Florida will cast 24 votes
at the Chicago convention begin
ning July 21.
Florfda returns were slow in
crystalizing, but on the basis of
an apparent 19 to 5 victory for
Russell, the latest Associated Press
tabulation of nationwide delegate
strength showed this lineup:
Kefauver 122, Russell 86, Har
riman 85.
On the Republican scoreboard
Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio led
the field with 405. His nearest op
ponent was Gen. Dwight D. Elsen
hower with 385, then came Harold
E. Stassen with 28.
Taft picked up one delegate
Wednesday in Alabama, and El
senhoww got two; a third was
claimed by Taft forces In district
elections. Four remaining delegates
from the state will be picked
Thursday.
