Death Cheated
In Bridge Leap
Death was cheated a short
time after noon Wednesday
when John Woolard, 26, of 1047
Fir street, leaped from the Marion-Polk
county bridge, in what
he admitted to officers, was a
suicide attempt.
Woolard, who gave family
trouble as his reason for the at
tempted suicide, was sighted by
Walter Lake and Ray Hawkins,
boating in the river, when he
was hanging from the bridge
prior to his jump. The two
rowed over and fished him from
the river. This was his second
attempt at suicide, according to
Woolard. The first attempt was
back in 1947, when he was
stopped before he could make
the leap into the stream.
Both first aid and city police
were called to the scene of the
suicide attempt and city officers
took Woolard to the station,
where he was to be given an
examination to determine the
extent of his injuries from the
jump. Landing on his back as
he hit the water, after his res
cue Woolard complained of a
pain in his back but first aid
could find no evidence of a brok
en back.
Protestants Plan
For Newspaper
Kansas City, May 11 UP)
Protestantism prepared today to
rally behind its first all-denominational
newspaper for a
united voice in a bid for world
wide spiritual leadership.
The groundwork for estab
lishment of the newspaper has
been spaded by 200 Protestant
leaders here for that sole purpose.
They were told last night It
was up to Protestantism to
shoulder the responsibility of a
worldwide spiritual revival.
Dr. Robert W. Searle of the
Protestant council of New York
City added, however, that first
Protestantism needed unity of
voice and the best way to get
it was through a newspaper
controlled by all denominations.
"There is no more imperative
need in American Protestan
tism," he said, "than the need
for a national Protestantism
newspaper."
Gideon Seymour, executive
editor of the Minneapolis Star
and Tribune newspapers, agreed
an all-denominational newspap
er now was timely.
"This plan, he said, "is
brought forward at a time when
there is more talk than ever be
fore of Protestant unity and in
a new dark age In which we are
groping for a basis of world or
der. The church faces its biggest
task since the middle ages.
Christianity, Dr. Searle said,
has the answer to world prob
lems and "Protestantism must
proclaim this Christian an
swer . . "

Henry A. Wallace
Portland, Ore., May 11 0J.B
Dr. A. L. Strand, president of

"intellectually dishonest."
Strand made the denunciation
of the former vice-president fol
lowing a sharp exchange be
tween the two men at a Wal
lace "peace forum" here.
During his talk, Wallace had
accused the college president of
unfairness in the dismissal of
Dr. Ralph Spitzer from the OSC
faculty.
