"LIFE" ws the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of
Christ, Scientist, Sunday, July 19.
The Golden Text was "As the
Father hath life in himself; so hath
he given to the Son to have life
Ut himself." (John 3:26).
Among the citations which com
prised the Lesson-Sermon was the
following from the Bible: "How
excellent Is thy loving-kindness, 0
Cod! therefore the children of!
men put their trust under the
shadow of thy wings. For with
thee a the fountain of lite: in thy
light shall we see light." (Pi. 36:
7. )
. The Lesson-Sermon also Includ
ed the following correlative pas-
Iages from the Christian Science
ixtbook, "Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures," by Mary
axer Eddy: "Life is divine Prin
ciple, Mind, Soul, Spirit. Life Is
Vjthout beginning and without
ind. Eternity, pot time, expresses
the thought of Life, and time is
po part of eternity. One ceases In
proportion as the other Is recog.

Rebec Stresses
Race Problems
Future peace negotiations can
not ignore the claims of the vari
ous groups. now engaged in war
whether they be in Europe or
around the Pacific basin. Dr.
George Rebec, former professor
of philosophy at the University
of Oregon told a recent session
of the Eugene Christian World
Service group.
Or. Rebec stressed the import
ance of meeting the problems of
race relationships realistically.
He urged a careful observance
of what Soviet Russia has been
and is attempting to do with the
various racial groups and peoples
comprising the Soviet union.
The meeting was held at the
home of Dr. A. H. Norton. The
next session of the World Ser
vice group, scheduled for July 31,
will give further consideration to
the race problem and to some of
the current efforts being made
to meet actual race relations sit
uations. Mrs. E. E. DeCou was
named chairman of the commit
tee to arrange for this session.

After Being Freed
ROCHESTER, Minn., July 21
OP) M. L. Annenberg immigrant
newsboy, circulation genius, mil

federal prisoner who won his pa
role only seven weeks ago died
last night. He was 84.
The colorful career that rivaled
those of his onetime associates,
William Randolph Hearst and Ar
thur Brisbane, ended at 9:45 p.
m. at St. Mary's hospital. Pneu

Donald M. Nelson, war produc

'Flying Freighter'
Plan Much Discussed
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
of nearly every war agency had
something to say about it
Air experts are predicting that
th time is not far away when
huge aircraft will b shuttling the
seven seas with men and material
for the fighting front. In th midst
of the discussion the army air
transport command announced
that American commercial sirlines
would extend their operations im
mediately to carry men and mate
rials to every war theater in the
world where Americans are f'ght
lng. War production board officials
likewise declined to be quoted, but
one official said Kaiser's plan to
build 9,000 cargo-carrying super
planes was assinine and would re
quire complete revamping of the
president's plane construction pro
gram. That official said because
of th bottleneck in alloys tor
engines and propellers, such a pro
gram would mean curtailment of
the production of fighting ships.
The plan received th endorse
ment ot Sen. Clyde L. Herring, D.,
Ia., and Senate Republican Lead
er Charles L. McNary of Oregon.
McNary said "the major bottle
neck today is transportation of
water-borne commerce, and this
plan of a huge air cargo fleet may
be th way out."
Th war has increased FBI re
sponsibilities at an unprecedented
rate, but the bureau is continuing
its relentless search tor th kid
napers of Charles Mattson, ot Ta
coma, and of Peter David Levine,
of New Rochelle, N. Y., Hoover
stated in a letter to th Tacoma
bureau of th Associsttd Press.
He reported that 24,584 suspects
in th Mattson kidnsping had
been reported to th FBI sine
1938 and that all but a few hun
dred had been investigated and
eliminated.
Mor than 10,500,000 fingerprint
cards hav been examined in an
effort to identify th Mattson kid
naper. Th brutally beaten body
of th little boy was discovered
Jan. 11, 1937, near Everett, Wash.
He was kidnaped Dec. 27, 1938.
"Gangland has com to realize
the futility ot kidnaping as a
means of financial gain," Hoover
wrote. "Through the decade of the
1930's scores upon scores of crimi
nals and hoodlums attempted the
'snatch' racket, with almost con
sistent failure.
"In case after case, the long arm
of the FBI, whose jurisdiction
transcends state lines, in coopera
tion with local peace officers,
flushed th kidnapers from hiding
so that just and equitable punisn
menu could follow.
"Today there is not a single
