SEATTLE tfl Paul Bowen, one
of six defendants in the Communist
conspiracy trial, told a Federal
Cpurt jury Thursday the govern
ment Is attempting to send him to
jail "because of my fight for peace,
democracy, and the democratic
principles o! government"
Bowen, an admitted Communist,
Is acting as his own attorney and
was the second defense spokesman
to give closing arguments in the
lengthy case. . . - 5
The prosecution," he said, 'has
looked into a crystal ball and de
termined I will commit , a crime
some time in the future.
"There has been no conspiracy.
A state of mind is being subjected
to examination. What is on trial is
the program of the Communist Par
ty. "On such flimsy evidence, such
a flimsy case, it is inconceivable to
me how you could send me to pris
on. How they could bring this dis
graceful, completely ridiculous case
to trial ni never know." s ,
The Negro Communist read ex
tensively from statistics he had to
show that persons of his race had
a lower living standard in America
than white people.
He was interrupted by Judge Wil
liam JJndberg, who told the jury
to ignore any matter mentioned in
Bowen's arguments which had not
been introduced in evidence.
John F. Walthew, attorney for
Karly Larsen, former CIO labor
leader who was ousted from his
union position after it was revealed
he once had been a Communist,
will be the next defense speaker.
Attorneys predicted Thursday
that the case would go to the jury
late next week which would be just
short of six months after the trial
opened.

KANSAS CITY; Mo., (INS)
Experts from leading business
concerns are serving as lecturers
and consultants at the new and
unusual school of business ad
ministration of the University of
Kansas City.
The school was launched this
fall with the support of nearly 100
Kansas City business firms which
sponsored an advertising program
to inform the public of the
school's objectives.
I It features a down-to-earth ap
proach to preparing a young per
son for a career in business, KCU
officials said. .
In addition to a four-year pro
gram leading to a bachelor's de
gree in business administration, a
two-year course leading to a certi
ficate in busines is offered. The
I curriculum for the certificate
course has been especially plan
ned in consultation with Kansas
City businessmen.
A student who needs or prefers
to work is helped in obtaining a
part-time job in the type of busi
ness he's learning. Thus the stu
dent can apply the effective
''learn it and do it" technique on a
. daily basis.
j Newly appointed president of
the University of Kansas City is
Dr. Earl J. McGrath, former U.S.
Commissioner of Education. ,

By CHARLES MERCER I
NEW; YORK W) The latest re
vision of the world's greatest book
has ; sold more copies in its first
year than any book ever published.
This was disclosed when the Na
tional Council of the Churches of
Christ in the U. S. A. announced
that 2V4 million copies of the new
revised standard version of the
Bible have been sold since the first
printing Sept 30, 1952.
As far as can be learned, the
book which comes nearest to first
year sales of the new Bible is
"Gone! With the Wind." The late
Margaret Mitchell's romance of
the South, published in 1936, sold
1,373,000 copies in its first year.
Although many persons insist
that sex and violence are topics
which create best-sellers, the all
time hard cover ' best-seller
aside from the Bible published
in this country was Charles Shel
don's "In His Steps," a book with
an inspirational religious theme, i-
In a half-century, "In His Steps"
is estimated to have sold at least
8 million copies. Ironically, Shel
don, a clergyman, never copy
righted his book and never real
ized any great financial return
from it y -
The phenomenal sales of the new
standard revised version of the
Bible have been accompanied by
paeans: of praise and bitter
criticism. !
Ministers of fundamentalist
churches in Rocky Mount, N. C,
Akron, Ohio, and Shelbyville, Tenn,,
have burned parts of; the new
Bible. When an evangelist in Crest
view, Fla., threatened to follow"
suit, the city council hastily out
lawed Bible burning. " )
In Michigan a state senator tried
unsuccessfully to pass a legislative
resolution condemning sale of the
new version.
The biggest complaint by funda
mentalists is that the new version
uses the words "young woman" in
stead of "virgin" in the Isaiah 7:14
prophesy of the birth of the Mes
siah. j.
This, say the translators, is be
cause the original Hebrew manu
script - uses the word "alma,?
meaning "young woman," instead
of "bethula," meaning "virgin.
It does not impair the basis of
the virgin birth doctrine, which is
borne out in other passages, they
say. , . .-. I
A comparison of a few lines
from the beautiful 42nd Psalm
shows the general difference be
tween the two standard versions;:
King James: "As the hart pant
eth after " the water brooks, so
panteth my soul after thee, O God.
My soul thirsteth for God, for the
living God. . . j
Revised: "As the hart longs for
flowing streams, so longs my soul
for thee, O God. My soul thirsts
for God, for the living God. . ."
There ;has been much more
praise than condemnation of the
15 years of work by 32 scholars
authorized by 40 Protestant denom
inations. I Today , the revision has
been approved by most major
church bodies," including many
which did not participate in the
project, i
Hundreds of letters have poured
in to the 30-denomination national
council, which holds the copyright
on the new version, and to Thomas
Nelson k Sons, the publishers.
Spokesmen say the vast majority
praise the work. The letters are
from persons in virtually every
walk of life.
A five-year program for greater
use and more intelligent under
standing of the Bible was launched
Thursday by the National Council's
Division ; of Christian Education.
Directors will be appointed to carry
out the work in all regions of the
country.
In publishing circles one of the
astonishing aspects of sales of the
new version is that there has been
a great and unexpected demand
for the $10 leather-bound edition,
compared to the $6 cloth-bound
edition. Next year cheaper editions
ranging from S3 to $3.50 will be
available.
Quite apart from the religious
significance of the phenomenal
sales,; the new Bible looms large
materially, even in this age of as
tronomical figures.
Copies of the new Bible stand
ing side by side would fill a book
shelf 60 miles long.
Into their production went 138
freight cars of paper, 5,000 gallons
of ink. 10 tons of type metal, 350
tons of binders board. 178 miles
of cloth, 46,875,000 yards of thread.
12,500 pounds of glue.
They contain enough 23-karat
golf leaf to pave a street 24 feet
wide and 2Vi miles long.
Beaver Pesters Army
By Dam Plu g. Attempt
POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. JF)A
beaver looked on the huge dam
at Lake Wappapello with admir
ing eyes, but was disturbed by a
sizable gap near the center of the
dam.
Army engineers had to call in
conservation agents to thwart the
beaver's plans. The animal, a per
fectionist, was felling trees and
floating them into position to plug
up the dam's spillway.
