Westerner for

WASHINGTON HIP) - Itep
Walter Norblad (D-Ore.) said to

be assigned to the House Hule.s
Committee lo fill the vacancy left
by defeat of ftep. Harris Ells

flis personal preference, he said

Norblad is a member of t h e
Republican Committee on Com
mittees which assigns new GOP
House members to committees
and approves shifts of other mem
bers at the start of each Con
gress. He said it is highly import
ant" that a Republican member
from the Far West, "and prefer
ahly from the Pacific coast,
should be given a place on the all
important" rules group.
The committee, which includes
eight momhors of the majority
party and (our from the minority,
schedules legislation for action in
the House and can under some
circumstances block house con
sideration of bills.
"The membership of this com
mittee," Norblad said, "is made
up almost entirely of members
from the eastern part of (he Unit

Ihu vacancy should be assigned to

Bibles for Russia Sent by
Retired Lebanon Carpenter
By DOK1S GUNDKRSEV
LEBANON (Special) "Please
keep sending Bibles," read letters
from friends and relatives in Rus
sia and Siberia to Gerhardt H.
Wiens of 256 Third St.
With the cooperation of members
of the First Baptist church, Wiens
has sent more than 250 New Tes
taments to Russia in the past three
months, since he moved here as a
retired carpenter from California.
The New Testaments are obtained
at cents each from the Ameri
can Bible society, and are written
in the Russian language.
Wiens also sends copies of books
of the (iospcl, obtained in Hus
sion at five cents each, nnd mis-sian-lanKiiage
hymnals. The latter
are more expensive, and are ob
tained through a firm in New
York.
A request for hymnals came
from Mrs. Wiens' brother and his
two daughters who are exiles in
Siberia. The brother Is choir lead
er for a Baptist group.
Wiens began to think about his
project of sending information on
Christianity to Russia at the time
of Stalin e death, when he heard a
sermon from the third chapter of
Kzckiel (verse 11: Get thee to
them of captivity, unto the chil
dren of thy people, and spenk unto
them, and tell them . . . ).
When I read about some of the
ministers being released, those
that had not been tortured and
killed, 1 began to send the Bibles."
he explained. "The Russian people
tried Communism ior 30 years.
Now they want to know about
Christianity."
Mr. and Mrs. Wiens left Rus
sia in 1912 with their five chil
dren, descendants of Dutch Pro
testants who had lived in the
I'kraine since Catherine the Great
opened the area 200 years ago
to Dutch and German groups seek
ing freedom of religion. The Wiens
left when they were told to give
up their children to be brought up
by the slate.
When they reached America,
their children were 12, U, 9. 7 and
two. All are now married and liv
ing in America.
"We really loved the Russian
people," Mrs. Wiens said. "They
are good; they are not wicked,
just misled."
Her hushand added. "The people
didn't want Communism; they had
it forced on them. Maybe 90 per
cent of the people couldn't read,

30 years ago."
The Dutch and German colonies
maintained their own schools prior
to 1922, they said, with children
taught their ancestral tongue as
well as Russian. The Wiens
learned Englsh after they arrived
in America. They were members
of a Mennonite church in Russia,
and of the Baptist church in Amer
ica. "Our first Fourth of July in
America, the children ran and hid
under the bed." Mrs. Wiens
laughed. "They thought it was the
Revolution "again."
Fruit crops in Oregon remind
Ihem of the Ukraine, where the
climate is good for cherries, ap
ples, prunes and pears, though
slightly colder."
Wiens asked that anyone inter
ested join him in obtaining New
Testaments, books of the Gospel
or hymnals written in Russian to
send to Russia. He prefers to re
ceive the books and not money,
he said, but if money Is donated to
buy books he asked that it be given
through a church.
He and his wife have agreed to
live entirely on her retirement
funds and use his for sending Bi
bles and hymnals to Russia.

It is a tree of matchless splen -

and devotion.
Bright Christmas colors gleam j
the branches, symbols of,
warmth and compassion, courage
and hope. That silver bell is a!
child's laugh, the holly a kindly ;
act. The shimmering ornaments j
were put there by happiness, and
the candles speak of faith.
Where is this tree?
It is everywhere in America to

Who brings these precious gifts?
Uncounted numbers of people.

IndonesiaArmy
Pulls
Coup
in
Sumatra Area
JAKARTA, Indonesia, W The
army held control of central Sum
atra Saturday as the result of a
bloodless coup.
The move climaxing months of
political and economic crisis and
army unrest presented a grave
challenge to the government of
Premier Ali Sastroamidjojo.
Proclaims Authority
Col. Sim bo Ion, 37:year-old Army
head of both the civilian and mil
itary authority in central Sum
atra. He said he would return
power "when the people's demand
for economic improvements are
met."
Sastroamidjojo's govern m e n t
struck back with an order sus
pending Simbolon from his mil
itary command and accusing him
of an action "against the law and
a danger to the safety of the re
public." The question was whether Sim
bolon would obey the order. Sim
holon declared earlier he would
not recognize the central govern
merit's cabinet, but added he did
not intend to set up a new state.
Plan Delegation
The central government here an
nounced it would send a delegation
to Sumatra to contact "people
there." It made no other comment
on the move by the army group.
There were no reports indicating
the coup was spreading to other
points in the Indonesian archipe
lago. There are 500 Americans in
Sumatra, but there were no indi
cations any of them were affected
by the power switch.
Communications between Sum
atra and Jakarta, the country's
capital on Java, and the outside
world were severely restricted.
The head of Jakarta's cable and
wireless company said the army
had delayed all out-bound cables
from Jakarta under strict censor
ship. There were no reports of any
clashes. One report said the for
mal takeover of power was with
out incident.

I One was a man in Philadelphia.
a delicatessen owner. He bought
1 a big tree, set it up outdoors, dec-
orated and lighted it, and put a
;sign on it:
"This tree is for all people who
are homeless or who have no
Christmas tree of their own.
And one was Judge John J.
Walsh in Utica, N.Y.. who was
about to jail a chronic alcoholic
when the prisoner showed him
letter from his daughter. It said
she thought the man was dead.
, The judge, withholding sentence,
gave him some money and said:
"Merry Christmas and God
bless you ... I hope you get to
her."
Surely a bright strand was
placed on the tree this week by
Dr. Laurence Jones, 72-year-old
Negro educator. He is president
of the Piney Woods School in Mis
sissippi where 500 underprivileged
youngsters work their way irom
grammar school to college.
He came to Camp Kilmer, N.J.,
bringing Christmas trees and 10
bushels of pecans grown by his
students, to the Hungarian child
refugees there.
"We have very little at Piney
Woods to share with you," he said,
"but jny students are deeply
grateful to America ... We know
it will be equally good to you."
And surely a television program
in the Veterans Administration
hospital in San Fernando, Calif.,
will throw a bright gleam on the
tree.
