Dinner Speakers Stress 'Power With Purpose'
"Power with Purpose," the theme of Religious Emphasis week, was stressed by speakers Wednesday at banquets of student religious organizations.
World brotherhood and peace are "within the power of the people, if they can learn only to use it," said William Schmiederer, secretary of the Kansas City. Mo., Y.M.C.A.
"In the world today there is much grief, strife, discrimination, and prejudice which must be overcome if society is to exist," Mr. Schmiederer said.
"Man has discovered how he can destroy everything he has created.
He now faces the task of learning how to get along with his neighbors or be destroyed."
"Power with Purpose" is not enough, the Rev. Mr. Charles Brubaker, Presbyterian student pastor at the University of Arkansas, told Presbyterian and Lutheran students at the Westminster banquet.
Nor is "my power with God's purpose enough," he said. "God's power under which I am but a steward serving his purpose • is what counts.
hard to see how he could be less "If God be personal, and it is than personal, how should he choose to speak to me, he must speak to my Brubaker queried. "The only way he can fully reveal himself would be through another person. If he is tt speak to me, he must speak to my heart and emotions. He must speak in such a way that he moves me and drives me to action," he said.
"Selfishness, pride, and self-centeredness are a part of man," the Rev. Mr. Brubaker asserted. Men refuse God's help in freeing them from the "bonds of corruption." the Rev. Mr. Brubaker pointed out. They cut off the personal God who cares for their lives. They deny the cross which is the symbol of a God offering "love to the unlovely."
University students can fight these evils by preparing themselves through "unselfishness, enlightenment, concern, and faith," the Rev. Mr. Parrish says.
The Rev. Thomas O. Parrish, pastor of the Central Christian church in Kansas City, Kan., pointed out that there are "twin evils" in the world today. They are ignorance and selfishness.

Fuchs May Have Given Russia H-bomb Data
London, March 2 - (U.P.)- Russia may have gained a head start over the United States on Hydrogen bomb research through information furnished by Dr. Klaus Fuchs, atomic scientists said today.
They pointed out that Fuchs was known to have been working on Hydrogen bomb theory at the time he was meeting with Russian agents. He was then the third leading atomic scientist in Britain and head of the theoretical research department at the Harwell Atomic Center.
During his last major contact with Russian spies early last year he was believed to have advised Soviet agents that the United States and Britain were convinced a hydrogen bomb could be made.
At that time, scientists said, Fuchs undoubtedly gave the Russians the results of his own preliminary work on the hydrogen bomb and its vast destructive potentialities.
President Truman did not announce the American decision to go ahead with production of a Hydrogen bomb until early this year, although preliminary work had been going on for some time.
With some of the secrecy removed from the case as a result of Fuch's trial Wednesday, informed quarters disclosed that Fuchs was trapped through a single word in a Russian agent's notebook found in Canada last year.
The notebook contained Fuchs' name followed by the Russian word "nash"—meaning "ours."
This set off a full-scale investigation which disclosed that the German-born British scientist had been revealing atomic secrets to Russia since 1942.
Fuchs was sentenced to 14 years in prison Wednesday with one third time off for good behavior his sentence will be reduced to nine years and four months.
More arrests are expected to follow soon, these sources said. American F.B.I. agents and top British intelligence experts are working together to track down the agents to whom Fuchs slipped the atomic secrets for relay to Moscow.
After his brief trial Wednesday he was taken to Wormwood Scrubbs prison. Officials will decide where he will spend his term.

Attlee Halts Nationalization Party May Split
London, March 2.—(U.P.)-Prime Minister Clement R. Attlee told his new Socialist cabinet today that he has decided to call a halt for the time being in the nationalization of British industry.
Mr. Attlee made his decision in the face of opposition from the left-wing of his Labor party and the danger of a substantial revolt later on.
He was believed to have interpreted Labor's narrow margin of victory in the general election last week as a sign that the country had had enough nationalization for the present. Labor won a majority of only seven seats over the combined opposition in the new parliament.
The Labor party had campaigned for the general election on a platform promising nationalization of the cement and sugar industries, meat distribution and water supply. Mr. Attlee's decision means that the new government will make no attempt to carry out that program.
The new cabinet, meeting today for the first time, was understood to have endorsed the Prime Minister's decision to proceed with a policy of less rather than more Socialism.
High on the agenda for today's meeting was preparation of the speech with which King George VI will open parliament Monday March 6. The King's speech traditionally is written by the government in power and outlines its legislative program for the coming year. As now envisioned, the speech will not mention nationalization.
The Conservative opposition well may raise a delicate point in the subsequent debate by moving an amendment deploring the failure of the government to ask repeal of the act to nationalize the iron and steel industry, effective Jan. 1, 1951.
Reliable sources said that, as a matter of fact, the government is looking for a graceful way out of the steel act. It would be too embarrassing for the government to sponsor a repeal act, which was one of the key planks in the Conservative party's campaign platform, these sources said.
It was considered possible the steel nationalization act would be repealed through a private member's bill, not a bill sponsored by the Labor party. A limited number of private bills are allowed for each session of parliament.
When the time comes for repeal of the steel bill Mr. Attlee may be in the middle of a full-fledged revolt within his own party. The revolt broke into the open at a private meeting of Labor members of the house Wednesday.
A left wing faction headed by Health Minister Aneurin Bevan demanded full speed ahead on nationalization despite the Labor party's virtually powerless position in Commons. The revolt was beaten down by Mr. Attiee and Deputy Prime Minister Herbert Morrison, but it is expected to grow as time goes on.
Conservative leader Winston Churchill meanwhile was understood to have advised Conservative leaders to follow a policy of "patient toleration" and "watchful moderation."
