extended period will be cov
ered for 1956 and subsequent
years during which time they
had net earnings from self
employment of $400 or more,
any part of the earnings be

Mormon
Shows 50
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press Correspondent
Mormons are a hardy lot.
In less than 70 years the
space of one man's lifetime
they have made the transi
tion from a small and per
secuted sect centered in Utah
to a large and wealth de
nomination with a world-wide
membership of 1,500,000.
Utah still has more Mor
mons about 440,000 than
any other state. But there are
now thriving Mormon
"states" in "Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Phoenix, Boise, Las
Vegas, Washington, D.C., New
York ' City; Detroit, Denver,
Houston, Jacksonville, Co
lumbia, S. C, Portland, Ore.,
and many other cities far bey
ond Utah's borders. Total
U.S. membership has in
creased nearly 50 per cent in
the past 10 years.
A far - flung missionary
movement also has carried
the Mormon faith across the
seas to England 10,000 mem
bers; Germany about 13,000;
New Zealand 15,000; Hawaii
17,000; Samoa 8,000; and more
than a dozen other countries
of Europe and the Far East.
Once disenfranchised by
federal law, Mormons today
occupy many prominent posi
tions in national life. The
best known, perhaps, is Sec
retary "of Agriculture Ezra
T. Benson. Others are Mrs.
Ivy Baker Priest, whose sign
ature appears on your folding
money as treasurer of the
United States; the president of
American M o tors, George
Romney; the president of
Standard Oil of California,
Theodore S. Petersen; finan
cier Marriner S. Eccles, and
television pioneer Philo Farns
worth.
Despite its rapid growth in
membership and respectabil
ity, the Chmch of Jesus Christ
of the Latter-Day Saints the
official name of what is com
monly called the Mormon
church remains one, of the
least-known of America s ma
jor religious bodies.
It is erroneous to assume
as many people do that the
Later-Day Saints are just an
other Protestant denomina
tion. Although Mormons be
lieve in the divinity of Jesus
Christ, their theology differs
substantially from the his
toric Christian creed.
Their doctrine of eternal
life, to cite only one example,
has no close parallel in tradi
tional Protestant or Catholic
belief. It holds that each hu
man being existed, as a spiri
tual child of God, before be
ing born on earth; that life
in a mortal body is only one
step in a soul's eternal pro
gress; and that people con
tinue to learn to grow spirit
ually and to live together in
families in another life be
yond the grave.
Many Americans still as
sociate ' the name "Mormon
