store seconds after the blast
rocked it at about 2:20 p.m.
(e.d.t.) Tuesday.
The explosion could be
heard across the river in De
troit. Rescue crews, police, fire
men and soldiers worked
through the' night and into
this morning under the glare
of floodlights searching for
additional bodies.
A huge bulldozer, a 25-ton
crane and acetylene torches
were brought in for the job
of lifting the rubble from the
basement. At one point, as
firemen cut away a sagging
portion of the roof with torch
es, a second fire started and
rescue efforts had to be sus
pended momentarily.
Store manager Joseph Hal-
ford, 31, said he was in the
sub-basement with a plumber
and electrician working on
the furnace moments before
the explosion.
"We decided to open the
main gas line from the street
and all we got was air. All
of a sudden the gas came
through," he said. "I turned
to leave the basement when
it exploded."
Halford was hospitalized at
Grace hospital with burns on
the face and hands. At least
89 other persons were taken
to the city's four hospitals for
treatment. Some were injured
seriously.

Extra Special
Gilts Offered
Dallas, Tex. -tUPD-The fea
ture gift in the 1960 Christmas
catalog mailed Tuesday by
Neiman-Marcus, which op
erates specialty stores in
Dallas and Houston, is "His"
and "Hers" private airplanes
For a total price of $176,-
000, the store will deliver a
seven-place Beechcraft super
G18 for "Him" and a four-
place Beechcraft Bonanza for
"Her."
The Bonanza is white, with
red trim, and there is a Rus
sian white ermine jacket to
match. The jacket adds
52,975 to the bill.
Last year, the store, which
is patronized by many Texas
millionaires; featured a 1,500
pound steer, available on the
hoof or dressed, with a sil
ver beef cart for outdoor bar
becues for $3,500. There were
three sold.
Two years before that, the
featured item in the Christ
mas catalog was a stuffed
tiger draped in diamonds
with a price tag of $1 million.
None was sold for that price,
but some customers liked the
idea and had smaller tigers
made up with fewer dia
monds on them.

ture today.

a longtime resident of the

WHAT DOES THE
BIBLE SAY?
In Gen. 17:8 God promised to
give Abraham the land of Can
nan as a permanent possession.
The first promise that God gave
Abraham, to make of him a
great nation was fulfilled at Mt.
Horeb where Moses received
the law and Commandments.
This was after Israel had been
in slavery in Egype for 400
years. They had witnessed the
ten plagues, had observed the
first feast of the passover, and
by the mighty hand of God had
been delivered out of Egypt,
across the Red Sea into the
wilderness. It was completed
when Israel entered into Can
aan, the land of promise. It
surely was a great nation of
millions of people. Like the
other promises, Abraham did
not live to see its fulfillment.
He trusted God and lived by
faith.
The second promise to bless
alt nations through this one na
tion was fulfilled in Christ.
This promise was spiritual and
therefore referred ultimately to
Christ. Gal. 3:14-17.

gy," Scott said. "It is an effort
to prevent engagement of the
Roman Catholic hierarchy in
American politics."
The committee on fair cam
paign practices of the National
Conference of Christians and
Jews said: "We deplore the
injection of religion as an is
sue in the current presidential
campaign. Such a qualifica
tion is contrary to both the
letter and spirit of the Consti
tution." The statement was
made by Dr. William B. Cate,
Paul B. Bender, Lloyd Rosen
feld, Richard M. Brown and
John Richard.
Nothing Personal Meant -
Scott, grand chancellor of
the Masonic Lodge's southern
jurisdiction and who was
elected state treasurer in 1940
and 1944, said the lodge does
not attack Kennedy personal
ly. Richard said some Southern
Baptist Church leaders and
some other religious organiza
tions have publicly declared
that they intend to "flood the
country" in these last days
before the election with anti
Catholic literature. He said
that next Sunday - Reforma
tion Sunday - has been chosen
by many ministers to preach
anti-Catholiq sermons.
Scott's letter, under the
heading, "Election Call to
Citizens," starts: "The Roman
Catholic priesthood seeks po
litical power in America.", It
said, "Kennedy is a loyal sub
ject of the Vatican, bound to
its mandates, to its designs of
annulling American free
doms." Bernard B. Cantor, member
of the Oregon Scottish Rite
Lodge and secretary of the
Portland Furniture Dealers
Association, disclosed exist
ence of the letter. "I resent
very much this intrusion by
the Scottish Rite in a matter
of my personal choice," he
said. ,
Slate Sen. Walter Pearson,
(D-Portland), a Mason and a
Shriner, criticized the letter.
'Not Public Matter'
Scott was unhappy about
his letter being made public.
Kennedy Winner
In Crook Ballot
Prineville - (UPD - A straw
ballot at Crook County High
school here, which in past
years' has followed the nation
al trend, gave Sen. John F.
Kennedy 187 votes and Vice
President Richard Nixon 179
votes for president, Principal
Lloyd Lewis said today.
In Oregon races Democrats
led for the U.S. Senate, 2nd
district Congress, state treas
urer and attorney general.
The Republican candidate led
in the secretary of state race.
'It's not a public matter
it's our own. affair," he told
United Press International.
He admitted that he had
written the letter and said
one of the reasons was that
the "whole attitude of the Ro
man Catholic church is hostile
to our public school system."
He said material published by
the Catholic clergy had re
ferred to American public
schools as "godless."
Scott said he had received a
number of telephone calls,
most of them from women
members of the Catholic
church, objecting to his letter,
but that he had received no
complaints from Scottish Rite
lodge members.
He said his order has no
Roman Catholic members that
he knows of, but added that it
is the church, not the lodge,
that bars such membership.
