THE JACKSON SUN: JACKSON. THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1948 PAGE ELEVEN 1 WANT ADS 7-3333 Governor General The Ideal Gift for Mother on Mother's Day "HUM IN AT I ON" A Book of Spiritual Poetry 'Adam And Fallen Man' Will Be Subject The subject of the lesson sermon in all Christian Science churches for Sunday will be "Adam and Fallen Man." Golden Text is to be Job 22 23. "If thou return to the Almighty thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away Iniquity far from thy tabernacle." One of' the correlative readings from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures br Mary Baker Eddy, will be as follows: "The parent of all human discord was the Adam-dream, the deep sleep, in which originates the delusion that life and intelligence proceeded from and passed into matter." By William G. Timberlake Price $2.00 ON SALE AT -THE PUBLISHERS ITJcCowal'l'TJgrcer PrcSS miNTIKS AND Funds For 70-Group Combat Air Force Approved By Senate WASHINGTON, May 6. Fundi for an immediate start on building a 70-group combat air, force won overwhelming Senate approval today.

The roll call vote was 74 to 2. Only Taylor (O-Idahoi and Cain (R-Wash voted against It. i The Senator passed a money bill as part of a program- to increase military air power. The measure now goes to the House for action on several Senate amendments. That House previously had voted 343-3 to expand the Air Forces and the Navy's air arm-Senate action came after Chairman Bridges (R-NH) of the Appropriation Committee singled out Soviet Russia as "our only possible opponent." He said Russia now is expanding and modernizing the Soviet air forces and may have the atomic bomb secret in the next few years.

"By our action on this bill, we will help to determine what weapons this country shall have at its disposal in the period 1951 to 1953." Bridges told the Senate. "We are warned it is in that period Russia may have erased the great military advantage which we now hold by virtue of our exclusive possession of the atomic pomb." Bridges said in a carefully-pre-parde speech that Russia is the only possible opponent now threatening the United States with a future war. He hit hard at arguments that there must be a balance between the Air Force, Army and Navy during the immediate future. "Balance is no longer an abstract thing," Bridges said. "It is a question of meeting the military potential of just one adversary Russia." Bridges gave this comparison of Russian and U.

S. military power: 1. Russia is a land power with "more divisions active than we had at the peak of our wartime effort." The U. S. never can compete with Russia on armed manpower.

Russia lacks naval power while V. S. fleets now dominate the seas, but U. S. "supremacy must be preserved with particular emphasis upon modern underseas craft." 3.

Russia has air power and is expanding it so fast that expansion of our own air forces is necessary in a "Communist threatened world." Bridges said American combat air power must have adequate men and machines, constant modernization, adequate reserves and a healthy aircraft industry to meet any wartime expansion. Bridges said the 70-combat air force would be built up by June 30, 1949. But he said part of the manpower will lack experience and some of the planes will be obsolete.

(NEA Telephoto.) City Recreational Program Proposed By Local Board A city recreational program that would cost in the neighborhood of $30,000 and possibly result in an increase in tax rates is being pro ppsed by the City Recreational As sociation composed of representa tives from the Rotary, Lions. Ex change clubs.

Junior Chamber of Commerce, P-TA, American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and Trades and Labor Council, it was revealed at a meeting of the direc tors of the Rotary Club Thursday noon when they were asked to indorse the movement. After considerable discussion of the matter the directors under the leadership of President Warren Jones decided to pass the matter to the Rotary Club as a whole inasmuch as a considerable expenditure of city funds is contemplated. While the directors felt that a recreational program is needed in Jackson for the youth, this to be carried out in the parks and school gymnasiums, yet they felt that the matter should be put up to the 142 members of the club for action. The matter was presented to the directors by Fred DeLay, representative of Rotary on the Recrea tional Board and president of that body, who said that he was expect ed to report back to that board May 13. He said the Exchange Club and possibly other organizations had already endorsed it.

In addition to President DeLay. the Recreational Board is composed of Prof. Early Vaughn, Aubrey Reid, Roy Vernon, Dr. R. F.

Day, Tury Oman, Irving Rosenbloom, Mrs. George Gardner, Dr. W. C. Newman, Commissioner Chester Parham acting ex-officio.

The Recreation Board itself had indorsed the movement. Following is the text of resolu tions presented for consideration of the various organizations: Whereas, there is a definite need for supervised recretaion in Jackson, and, Whereas planned recreation is by far the most effective type of play for young people, and Whereas by are the majority of cities comparable in size to Jackson have supervised play and recreation for people, both young and old, and Whereas it has been found by investigation that most cities placed in their budgets amounts to cover the cost of supervised play, Be it, therefore, resolved that the City of Jackson employ a full time supervisor of recreation and place in the budget each year an amount equivalent to one dollar per citizen within the city's corporate limits, based on estimate of 1947-48 census.
