Then called a martyr," says By LOUIS CASSELS UPl Correspondent "Greater love hath no man than this: That he lay down his life for his friends." Lou Marsh read those words of Jesus when he was a boy attending a Baptist Sunday school. He took them - as most Christians do - as a yardstick of ultimate devo tion. He had no way of know ing, then, that he would one day be measured against that yardstick. In hindsight, It seems rath er a miracle that Lou Marsh should have had any love at all in him - let alone the supreme kind of love He was a quiet, serious- minded Negro boy, more sen sitive than most to the hu miliations and deprivations which were visited upon him while he was growing up in one of Philadelphia's black ghettoes. Somehow he survived all of the hurts without learning to hate. By the time he had won admission to Temple Univer sity, he had made up his mind to devote his life to some kind of Christian service to man kind. He was graduated from Temple and spent two years at Yale Divinity School, pre paring for the ministry. Then, like many young seminarians, he began to have doubts about his vocation. He felt that he Well Digger Saved By Rescue Efforts Lake Tomahawk, Wis. -IUPD -A well digger trapped eight feet underground was freed by rescue workers today after spending nearly 19 hours bur ied to his shoulders in a sandy pit. Rescuers worked through the night before wresting Ray mond Fink, 31, Athens, Wis., from a caved-in well where he was nearly buried alive Wednesday. He was pulled from the well early today. Fink was taken to a Wood ruff, Wis., hospital where doc tors said he was in good con dition after his ordeal. Fink sipped warm milk and smoked cigarettes while res cue workers struggled to free him. His brother, Lawrence, stayed at his side and when a second and third cave-in burled Fink to the neck his brother clawed away the dirt with his bare hands. URGE TEST HEARING Washlngton-(UPI-Th Amerl cans for Democratic Action Wednesday urged a congres sional hearing on the nuclear test ban issue. It said the hearing would show a "pre ponderance of public opinion support the kind of agreed test ban that is now within reach." Mom, Sew This! 9278 sizes 2-8 had been called to follow Christ, but he was not sure exactly how or where. So he decided to leave school for a while and work. Assigned To Untouchables Last May, he got a job as a social worker with New York City's youth board. He was assigned to work with the "Young Untouchables," a gang of Negro and Puerto Rican teen-agers in one of the toughest slums of East Har lem. What happened after that is recorded in last week's Christian Century magazine by Dean Pecrman, an asso ciate editor who was a semi nary classmate of Lou Marsh. "Lou soon developed a strong attachment to the gang members, identifying with them and their troubles . . . and he had a large measure of success with his boys. He hid won their confidence and respect, he was 'getting through' to them." It was a dangerous job, and when Marsh went home to Philadelphia for a brief Christmas vacation, his moth er urged him to give it up and go back to Yale, sured her. "I can take care of myself. Besides, somebody has to do the job." Last month, word reached Marsh that the "Young Un touchables" were squaring off for a rumble with the "Play boys," a rival gang which had invaded their territory. The crisis developed sudden ly on the night of Jan. 7. There was no time to call the police, so Marsh acted on his own to cool off the situation. He walked into a war council of the "Young Untouchables" and persuaded them to aban he started down the dark street toward his room. Beaten To Dtalh On the way, he was am bushed by four older boys, "graduates" of the gang who resented his influence with the boys and his success in preventing the rumble. Two held his arms while the other two beat him senseless. A passerby found him lying in the street and called an ambu lance. But he died in the hospital without ever regain ing consciousness. "Lou would not want to be his friend, Dean Peerman. "But there is no gain saying that Lou died as a Christian doing his duty." From a human perspective, it seems a terrible waste that a man like Lou Marsh should lay down his life, at the age of 29, on a dirty slum street in East Harlem. But the One from whom he took his cue died on a smelly Palestine hillside at the age of 33, and there have been few who have thought during the past 20 centuries that either his life or his death were a waste.

MEDFORD, OREGON Baghdad, Iraq - (UPD i- Hun dreds of Soviet military tech nicians brought in by deposed Premier Abdel Karim Kassem posed a serious dilemma today for the anti-Communist lead ers of the new rebel regime of Iraq. Rebel forces and heavily armed civilian "national guards" appeared to have suc ceeded in wiping out resist ance by Iraqi Communists in Baghdad and other major cit ies. But there was the question of what to do about the re ported 1,500 Soviet military rnen sent to Iraq by the Krem lin at the request of Kassem to instruct Iraqi armed forces in the use of Rtissian.mnriA weapons and equipment. The Soviet Union already has recognized the new re gime headed by President Col. Abdel Salam Aref.

FEBRUARY 14. 1963 C 3 than 125 countries buy U.S agricultural commodities, but 20 countries alone account for more than 75 per cent of the agricultural export total. This total is considerable. In fiscal year 1962 the value of U.S. farm exports reached a record S5,H1,000,000. The export value was equivalent to one-sixth of cash receipts from farm marketings total ing $35,243,000,000. For the first five months of fiscal 1963 farm exports totaled $1,992, 000,000. Exports to the 20 most im portant markets in fiscal 1962 ranged from a high of $554 St4 million for Poland. Last year, Japan displaced the United Kingdom as the for eign outlet. The United King dom dropped to third place as Canada advanced to second. Intransit Shipments Most of the gain in exports to Canada reflected intransit shipments of U.S. wheat, corn, and soybeans destined mainly for Western Europe.

Declines occurred in ship ments to India, Belgium, France, and Poland, while ex ports to the Netherlands, UAR - Egypt, Pakistan, and Venezuela showed relatively little change.
