Mammoth Cave to Be Dedicated
As National Park Wednesday
Kentucky's Mammoth Cave, vis
ited by tourists for more than a
century, will be dedicated as a na
tional park next Wednesday with
Secretary of the Interior Krug
sharing in the ceremonies.
Situated 85 miles southwest of
Louisville, the huge geological for
mation of 300,000.000 years ago long
has been the pride 'of Kentucky
Twenty years ago. at the behest of
Kentuckians, Congress passed and
President Coolidge signed a bill au
thorizing acceptance of the area
by the Federal Government.
In the last two decades the Gov
ernment has been buying land
around the cave until now more
than 50,000 acres will be dedicated
as Mammoth Cave National Park.
Used by Indians perhaf* 1.500
years ago. the cave winds through
150 explored miles. Its celebrated
> stalactites and stalagmites: Echo
River. 360 feet below the ground's
surface, and such spectacular rock
formations as the Frozen Niagara,
the Hindu Temple, and the Lion's
Den, have fascinated tourists.
The cave first was owned by Val
entine Simmons in 1799. On July
9. 1812, the title to the cave changed
hands three times. The first sale
price was $116.67. Later in the day
it sold for $400. and still later for
$3,000 On August 25 of that year
a half interest was sold for $10,000.
Reason for the sudden boom was
not the tourist trade, but discovery
of salt {Jeter, a principal ingredient
in gunpowder needed in the war
with Great Britain. For two years
equipment for leaching out the
nitrate was operated in the cave.
The cave was opened to visitors
in 1816 and operated as a private
enterprise for nearly 100 years. It
was purchased in 1839 by Dr. John
Croghan. a Louisville physician,
who placed it in trusteeship for
nine nephews and nieces, the last
of whom died in 1926.

petition for permission to remarry.
/ The revised canon emphasizes the
church requirement that marriage
“is a physical, spiritual and mystical
union" and is entered into with
“lifelong intention.” Judgment
given under the canon becomes a
permanent written record of the
diocese or missionary district.
The special committee submit
ting the revised marriage canon
consisted of Bishops Wallace Conk
ling of Chicago, chairman; William
Scarlett of Missouri; Edwin Penick
of North Carolina; Henry Phillips
of Southwestern Virginia and Cam
eron Davis of Western New York.
The House of Deputies voted down
386-196 the resolution to submit the
Issue of merger with the Presbyter
ians to individual congregations.
Many delegates declared that while
they favored the union, they be
lieved the merger plan too hastily
prepared.
Acts on Two Sections.
A joint commission on approaches
to unity had submitted a seven
paragraph plan to the deputies but
the body acted on only two sections,
agreeing to study the proposal for
another three years before sending
the matter to congregations.
The commission itself was con
tinued for the three-year period
during which it was requested to
make further research and seek to
eliminate some, of the objections to
the merger.
Most objections were that the
commission plan did not fulfill re
quirements set forth in the Lam-:
beth Quadrilateral, which in 1888
outlined a four-point credo under
which any merger of Anglican
faiths must be effected.
Four Essential Points.
The Lambeth Quadrilateral was
issued in 1888 and has been affirmed
by the Episcopal Church several
times since that date. Its four
points are to essentials which an
Anglican Church contemplating
union with another body must pre
serve. They are:
1. "The Holy Scriptures of the
Old and New Testament as con
taining all things necessary to sal
vation and as being the rule and
ultimate standard of faith.
2. "The Apostles Creed as the
Dapusmai symooi. ana the Nicene
Creed as the sufficient statement)
of the Christian Faith.
3. “The two Sacraments ordained
by Christ himself—baptism and the
Supper of the Lord—ministered with
the unfailing use of Christ's words
of institution and of the elements
ordained by Him.
4. “The Historic Episcopate, lo
cally adapted in the methods of its
administration to the varying needs
of the nations and peoples called of
God into the unity of His church."
Seeks Standing Commission.
The proposal accepted by the
House of Deputies also requested
the Presbyterians to prepare a sim
ilar statement of “faith and order,
taking into account the points of
the Lambeth Quadrilateral." It fur
ther asked that the 1948 Lambeth
Conference appoint a "standing
commission" to consider all ques
tions of union in which any An
glican Chuich is concerned.
Te Right Rev. Henry R. Sherrill,
Bishop of Massachusetts and chair
man of the Army-Navy General
Commission on Chaplains during the
war. introduced a resolution in the
House of Bishops calling on Presi
dent Tiuman to grant amnesty for
conscientious objectors.
“They have given themselves to
medical experiments and in many
other difficult fields," Bishop Sher
rill declared. “Nowf is the time to
conclude their punishment."
The motion was passed by the
House of Bishops and later in the
day approved by the House of
Deputies.
Resolution Is Rost.
A proposal to clarify the word
“laymen” to read “lay persons,”
making women eligible by the law
of the church to serve as deputies,
w:as lost by 263 to 256. Former
Supreme Court Justic Owen J.
Roberts, president of the House of
Deputies, reminded the members
that the vote in no way affected
the right of Mrs. Randolph H.
Dyer of St. Louis to keep her seat
in the House. The vote did leave
unsettled the church law on seat
ing future women delegates, but
spokesmen said they do not believe
there would be any question about
allowing women the right to sit in
the house since the precedent has
now been established.
The Right Rev. Angus Dun,
Bishop of Washington, speaking to
the woman's auxiliary said it is
possible to feel both "pessimism and
hope" in the world today. Dread
of war may produce a precarious
peace based on self-interest, he de
clared. adding that a lasting peace
will only be attained when people
i accept "the design of God's love."
We must wr against prejudice
i and racial prejudice to atain a
["just and durable pcee.” the Right
Rev. Harry S. Kennedy. Bishop of
the Missionary district of Honolulu,
told a youth meeting at Irvine Au
ditorium tonight.
Bishop Kennedy, who served as
a chaplain in the Pacific during the
war, declared "it is the task of
Great Britain to bury imperialism
and of America to dispel race pred
judice.”
Soviet Held Fearful
Ruhr Will Aid West
The Foreign Policy Association de
clared yesterday that Russia sup
ports German Communists in their
drive for a united Reich to prevent
the Ruhr becoming the economic
hub of the Western bloc of nations.
A statement prepared by the as
sociation's European expert, Mrs.
Winifred N. Hadsel, said it was
"doubtful'' if Britain and the United
States could prevent spread of a
Communist - backed "nationalist
movement in their part of Ger
many.”
Agreement on economic unity of
Germany, the statement said, "would
do little to remove the basic differ
ences between the policies of Russia
and the other Allies toward Ger
many. but it might at least extend
the period during which their ad
justment can be sought.”
Mrs. Hadsel concluded that unifi
cation would restore to the Ruhr "a
semblance of the old German econ
omy—which was balanced by the
existence of a large industrial plant
in the West and a well-filled bread
basket in the East.” Under these
conditions, she foresaw' that "Ger
many as a whole would probably
achieve a subsistence standard of
living by 1949, and no major in
ternational economic adjustment
would be required to make the Ruhr
area self-supporting.”
Placing the Ruhr with the econ
omy of Eastern Germany, she said,
"would help to overcome the tend
ency toward an East-West division
oi Europe.”
Byrnes Asked to Protect
Hungarian Protestants
By the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 14.—Sec
retary of State Byrnes was re
quested today by Dr. William Bar
row Pugh, stated clerk of the Gen
eral Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States, to
take steps to protect rights of Hun
garian Protestants to be transferred
from their homes by the Czech gov
ernment.
In a cablegram to Secretary
Byrnes at the Paris Peace Confer
ence, Dr. Pugh said compulsory ex
change of populations would nullify
centuries of "struggle for liberty of
conscience.”
The Czechs propose to remove
Hungarians who refuse to remain
on the basis of Czech terms 01
citizenship, they have informed the
Hungarian Treaty Commission at
the peace conference.
"If this action is approved.” Dr
Pugh said, "It would destroy hopes
and ideals of human and religious
freedom in that part of the world."
Nile Flood May Cause
largest Inundation
In Last 95 Years
tfm Associated Press
CAIRO. Egypt, Sept. 14.—Begin
ning earlier than usual, this year's
abnormally high Nile flood has been
headline news here for weeks as:
Egypt made preparations for whaC
was expected to be the most dan- j
gerous inundation recorded in 95
years.
So menacing were the river's
swollen tributaries that evacuation
of some of Egypt's principal towns
was considered. Credits of 420.000
Egyptian pounds (about $1.680.000>
were opened and the ministers of
public works, interior and national
defence pooled their forces and all
available labor was mobilized to
avert the threat to lives and crops.
The abnormally swollen river is
going down now as the flood crest
sweeps down its 3,500-mile course
to the Mediterranean and Abdel
Kawi Ahmed Pasha, minister of
public works, said he hoped all
danger would be past by the end of
September. Many farm cottages were
washed away in Upper Egypt, some
village populations were marooned
and 182.000 tops of maize were de
stroyed, but no loss of life was re
ported and Ashmed Uasha said most
of the crops had been saved from :
the surging waters.
I- 100ns are age-nia.
The Nile floods, a month-long in
undation each year, are an age-old
story to Egypt. Her fortunes and
the progress of the stream are wed
ded eternally. A small rise and a
poor summer flood mean that crops
suffer and yields are poor: an ex
cessive rise may mean destruction
of much of the farmer's work.
King Farouk rules over 385.000
square miles, an area nearly twice
that of France, but 97 per cent of
his country is barren sand and rock.
Nearly all the cultivated land of
practically rainless Egypt stretches
in a narrow ribbon along the Nile
banks. The width of this fertile
belt, never great, varies from a mile
or so on the south to as much as
12 miles in the north. Below Cairo
to the sea stretches the broad tri
angular area which the Greeks
called Delta, with some of the
world's most fertile soil.
Clustered close to the river, the
17.000,000 Egyptians form one of the
most compact nations in the world.
Tire populated area has an average
density of 1,045 persons per square
mile, almost twice that of Belgium,
the most thickly populated country
in Europe.
Negotiations Cited.
Egypt's present insistence on the
“unity of the Nile Valley'’ in po
litical negotiations with the British
is rooted in her complete and un
qualified dependence on the Nile,:
w'hose headw'aters lie far beyond
Egyptian territory in the south in
the Nubian Mountains and which
drains nearly the whole of North
eastern Africa.
Abyssinian rains are responsible
for the regular June to October in
undation of the Nile Valley. The
discharge of water from Lakes Vic
toria. Albert Edw ard and Albert near
the equatorial sources of the Nile is
fairly regular. In Abyssinia, however,
the heavy rains between April and
September send enormous quantities
of w ater through the important Blue
Nile and Atbara tributaries, rivers
w'hich for mast of the year have
only dry beds and disconnected pools

I As one Egyptian sociologist has

be called the liquid history of Egypt.
It is today as it was in the dawn of t
history, the very life of the country. ,
; Its rise and fall shape the destiny ,
