New Testament in Pictures Completed After 5 Years; Expected To Be Best Seller BY ALBERT McCOLLOUGH United Press Correspondent . New York (U.R) A unique "picture book" edition of the New Testament appeared this week. Its publishers expect it to be a worldwide best seller. The volume, its pages packed with pictures, was published by the American . Bible Society under the title, "The Good News." It is the climax of a five year race against time and the inroads of modern civilization in the hoi land. The book's ,8-by-ll-inch pages include the complete text of the New Testament, partly in the modernized wording of the re vised standard version of the Bible, partly in the old familiar phrases of the King James ver sion. But the text is arranged in modern paragraph form, without numbered chapters and verses, and the print is large. More than half the space on most pages is filled with pic tores 566 photographs, nine maps and six diagrams appear in slightly more than 250 pages. More than 100 . photographs were taken especially for the book, including many by a team of archaeologists who toured Palestine on assignment from the society. Hard Job Dr. Gilbert Darlington, or dained an Episcopal minister in 1915 and society treasurer since 1920, conceived the illustrated New Testament and pushed it to completion. Seemingly tireless despite his 63 years, he spent months abroad hunting for de sired pictures and negotiating for their purchase or loan. Dr. Darlington was unable to estimate the total cc:st of pro ducing "The Good News," but he said actual publication costs for the first printing of 150,000 copies were more than $200,000. The society set its selling price $2.00 a copy "Really at cost," he said, to assure the widest pos sible distribution. Requests and compliments have been pouring into society headquarters, it was said, and the initial printing is expected to be a small part of the eventual sale. The main reason for putting out a picture-book Bible, Dr. Darlington said, is to preserve a visual record - of - Holy Land scenes and landmarks. "By accident, or through in ternational Violence, or merely through industrial progress, the treasures of New Testament times may be destroyed," he said. "Where today is a relic of history, tomorrow there may be an oil field." Color Pictures The book covers bear full color photographs of such famous scenes as the River Jordan and the Sea of Galilee. Its pages, printed in rotogravure, include pictures of relics and inscrip tions dating from 2000 years ago as well as photographs of the Holy Land itself, picture cap tions meticulously avoid label ling any specific site as one seen or visited by Jesus. A map caption, for example, points out that "the vast amount of rubble and later building make the identification of the places known to Jesus almost impossible." The caption of a tomb photo says "The excavated rock tombs and the rolling stone may resemble in a general way the sepulcre of Joseph of Arima thea," where the gospels say Christ was buried after the cruci fixion. Illustrated portions of the gos pels, beginning with the Book of Acts in 1951, have been pub lished by the society previously, in foreign languages as well as English. "The Good News" takes its name from the literal meaning of the word gospel good tid ings. The "Good News" referred to, of course, is the word given by the angel to the shepherd? (Luke 2:10,11) "And the angel said unto them, fear not; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy. which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ and Lord." 'Blue Sky Hotel' Ready for Antelopes Lakeview (U.R) Phil Quit enberry, grand secretary of the Order of the Antelope, said today that appointments at the Blue Sky hotel on Hart moun tain were ready for the' 20th annual gathering of the unique organisation. t Date set for this year's con clave was July 22 to 24 when the upper crust of the state's political and business leaders gather for an exclusively stag outing at a campsite known as the Blue Sky hotel. Chief Whitetail of the Order of Antelope is Loran L. Stew art, Cottage Grove lumberman who is candidate for the 1957 speakership of the Oregon house of representatives. Cosily Fire Hits Packing Plant at Underwood, Wash. Bingen, Wash. (U.R) Firemen from three towns to day battled a roaring blase that swept through a quarter mile long fruit warehouse at Underwood near here. Fire Chief Ernie Sampson of White Salmon. Wash., said at 9:30 a.m. the blaze was "go ing pretty good right now." Earlier, he said, we thought we had it" but the fire spread to other sections of the ware house. He said the warehouse may be a "total loss." There was no immediate estimate of lots'. Sampson said there was no fruit in the building. White Salmon, Wash.. (U.R) A costly fire that swept through the Underwood Fruit Packing and Warehouse building at Un derwood, Wash., was brought un der control about 7 ' a.m. today after gutting virtually the entire structure, according to the fire department here. Hood River Helps Fire companies from nearby Bingen and White Salmon were called to the quarter-mile-long concrete building at 12:10 a.m. Two pieces of equipment were also dispatched by the Hood Riv er, Ore., fire department across the Columbia river from Un derwood. Firemen said they had not determined the exact cause of the blaze which raged uncheck ed for .nearly half-an-hour be fore hoses and pumps could be rigged from the Columbia. Operation Not Started The plant packs and ware houses fruit crops from the mid Columbia area and is owned by John Bloxom of White Salmon. It had not started the season's packing operations and it was believed most of last year's crop was removed earlier. Onlookers attracted by the spectacular flames were diverted from the fire scene by Washing ton state patrolmen dispatched to Underwood in the early hours of the morning.,- FIRE TAKES LIFE Portland (U.R) A 60-year-old man died early today in a fire that started in the bedroom of his home here.

Tuesday, June 28, 1953 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE 1946 Chinese-U.S. Pact Binding in Spite of Commies San Francisco (U.R) A treaty between the United States and Nationalist China made in 1946 still is binding between the two countries, even though China is now ruled by the Com munists, the California Court of Appeal ruled today. The State Attorney General's office had appealed a ruling by a lower court which found that six heirs to a $15,427 estate had a legal right to the money tie spite the fact they lived in Har bin, Manchuria, now part of Red China. State Argument The State argued the heirs had no right to the money because there are "no reciprocal rights of inheritance between citizens of the United States and China." In appealing the judgment, the State also argued that the Vancouverite Files Large Damage Suit Vancouver, Wash. ' (U.R) Wilburn W. Wood of Vancouver has filed one of the largest dam age suits in Clark county history against a group of Longview Kelso area people. The $25,000,000 civil suit main tains that Wood shared a manu facturing formula with the de fendants with the understanding that a corporation would be formed in which he would have 45,000 share and a $500 monthly salary. Wood alleged that the corpor ation never was formed and that the defendants are trying to freeze him out. The complaint alleged Wood had a formula for manufacture of a black gem-like substance called Rutilian. Named defendants were Mr. and Mrs. Ben C. Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Eward W. Roberson, Mr. and Mrs. Maurice B. Saul, Arnold Brandis, Al Robbins, and John Gaugh.

"friendship, commerce and nav igation treaty of 1946" between the two countries did not cover Manchuria which was under con trol of the Communists when the estate was probated. Unanimous Ruling The appellate court, however, ruled unanimously today that Manchuria was a seoeraohical part of China from the date of the treaty "until the death of the decedent, on January 13, 1949." The court also noted: "Con tentions that the scope of the treaty is limited to the territory over which the Nationalist gov ernment . . . had effective con trol are without merit adding "treaties are contracts i between Spokane Contractors, Union Seek Settlement Spokane (U.R) Representa tives of the Associated General Contractors and the AFL Iron workers were scheduled to meet at 2 p.m. today in an effort to settle a strike which began yes terday, halting construction on millions of dollars worth of building projects in eastern Washington and northern Idaho.
