Negro Man Lays Down Life in Christian Service To Mankind

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."

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.

Soviet Technicians Problem for Iraqis
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. 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.

20 countries alone account for
more than 75 per cent of the

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

first five months of fiscal 1963
farm exports totaled $1,992,

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.
