Show THE UTAH INDEPENDENT June 11, 1970 Page 3 Editor's Outlook (Continued from page 2) vealed that prime conservative candidates have been picked as targets by this group, not to be helped in their election campaigns, but to be knocked out of the running because they are "conservative above and beyond the call of duty." One such candidate mentioned specifically is Representative Leon Savage from District 25. He is the one who blew the whistle on the Jerry Rubin speech at the U. He wrote letters of opposition to the officials at the U prior to Rubin's appearance and subsequently published Rubin's speedi along with his letters. When copies of the speech were circulated it created such a furor of resentment against the U officials for allowing such filth to be given a respectable forum under the guise of "academic freedom" that the Administration hasn't yet recovered. We believe they are out to "get," politically, Leon Savage and other conservatives who dare raise a voice. We believe that the liberal teachings the University is giving the students through the liberal faculty, is being used to convince the students that they ought to oppose conservatives and elect liberal candidates. Then, the University Administration could carry on without opposition. Not one liberal politician that we know of has raised even one finger, let alone his voice, in opposition to the goings on at the University. . Liberalism We believe the U officials want a liberal Administration with a liberal faculty indoctrinating students to liberalism so they will help elect liberal candidates and thus have liberal government ( more govern- ment control) in the state of Utah. Those running this program also plan' to have the students who have been elected delegates at the mass meetings attend other meetings, not in their voting districts with the people who elected them, but, at the university where they will receive further The purpose of Meeting delegates at instructions. mass meetings to go to the party conventions is to have them represent the people of the voting We seriously doubt that this purpose will be served by the students under this program. In our opinion, Participation 70 is a program to organize the students into a political force favorable to the liberal Administration's policies for the purpose of using them to influence local politics. Anderson By Tom THE BIBLE HOLDS TRUE Recent amazing developments in the space program show by computer that the sun really did stand still, as the Bible says. Mr. Harold Hill, president of the Curtis Engine Company in Baltimore, Md., and a consultant in the space program, relates the following: I th:nk one of the most amazing things that God has fo; us today happened recently to our astronauts ?nd space scientists at Green Belt, Md. They were checking the position of the sun, moon, and planets out in space where they would be 100 years and 1,000 years from new. We have to know this so we dont send a satellite up and have it bump into something later on in its orbits. We have to lay out the orbits in terms of the life of the satellite, and where the pi. nets will be so the whole thing will not bog down! They ran the computer measurement back and forth over the centuries and it came to a halt. The computer stopped and put up a red signal, which meant that there was something wrong either with the information fed into it or with the results as compaicd to the standards. They called in the service department to check it out, and they sa:d, Its perfect. The head of operations said, Whats w ong? Well, they have found there is a day missing in space in elapsed time. They scratched their heads and tore their hair. There w:s no answer! t One religious fellow on the team said, You know, one time I was in Sunday school and they talked about the sun standing still. They didnt be.ieve him, but they didnt have any other answer so they said, Show us. He got a Bible and went back to the book of Joshua where they found a pretty ridiculous statement for anybody who has common sense. There they found the Lord saying to Joshua, Fear them not for 1 have delivered them into thine hand: there shall not a man of them stand before thee. Joshua was concerned because he was surrounded by the enemy, and if darkness fell they would overpower them. So Joshua asked the Lord to make the sun stand still! Thats right The sun stood still, and the moon stayed . . . and hasted not to go down about a whole day (Joshua 10:8, 12, 13). The space men said, There is the missing day! They checked the computers going back into the time it was written and found it was close but not close enough. The elapsed time that was missing back in Joshuas day was 23 hours and 20 minutes not a whole day. They read the Bible and there it was about (approximately) a whole day. These little words in the Bible are important. But they were still in trouble because if you cannot account for 40 minutes youll still be in trouble 1,000 years from now. Forty minutes had to be found because it can be multiplied many times over in orbits. This religious fellow also remembered somewhere in the' Bible where it said the sun went backwards. The space men told him he was out of his mind. But they got out the Book and read these words in 2 Kings: Hezekiah, on his death-be- d, was visited by the prophet Isaiah who told him that he was not going to die. Hezekiah asked for a sign of proof. Isaiah said, Do you want the sun to go ahead ten degrees? Hezekiah said, Its nothing for the sun to go ahead ten degrees, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees (2 Kings 20:9-11- ). Isaiah spoke to the Lord and the Lord brought the shadow ten degrees backward! Ten degrees is exactly 40 minutes! Twenty-thre- e hours and 20 minutes in Joshua, plus 40 minutes in 2 Kings make the missing 24 hours the space travelers had to log in, the logbook as being the missing day in the universe! Isnt that amazing? Our God is rubbing their noses in American Way Features His Truth! dis-'tri- ct JM, Death of a Labor Boss By The month of May saw the death, in a plane crash, of one of labor's tyrannical leaders, Walter Reuther. An editorial in the Deseret News of May 11, 1970 entitled, "Death ot a Statesman," eulogized Reuther and said of him: "A leader in the battle to rid the labor movement of Communist influence as well as dishonest union leaders, Walter Reuther was in many ways a labor statesman of the highest order." If we hadn't gagged so much on that one we would have immediately called to cancel our subscription. After recovering our breath, we thought better of it and decided to write our own editorial about Walter Reuther wherein the facts will be set straight W e submit that the only thing Ruether did to rid the labor movement of communist influence was to get himself killed in an airplane crash and this was entirely unintentional Walter Reuther was born on September 1, 1907 in Wheeling, West Virginia, a son of Anna Stoker and Valentine Reuther. From 1924 until 1927, Reuther worked as a tool and die maker in Wheeling. From 1927 until 1932 he worked in Detroit at Briggs Manufacturing, General Motors, and Ford Motor Co. Reuther Promotes Marxism As a student at Wayne State University in 1932 Walter organized a chapter of the Marxist League for Industrial Democracy (LID), originally known as the Intercollegiate Socialist Society. Early in 1933 Walter and his brother Victor made a trip to Soviet (Continued on page 6) jforum Marilyn Manion A WORD TO THE WISE It all began in the name of Peace. The United Nations, planning to celebrate its 25th anniversary this year, decided to stage a world youth assembly on the banks of the East River. Scheduled for July 9, the gathering would include young delegates from around the world. The cost of this friendly little was estimated at $700,000. It was expected that good old Uncle Sam would come up with most of that amount. While the Peaceful Internationalists blissfully worked on these plans, some dedicated Communist youths were busily making plans of their own at a secret meeting in Switzerland. Members of two Communist youth groups in Eastern Europe threatened to lxycott the assembly unless it were revised to include certain additional guests. The additions? Communist China, North Vietnam, East Germany, the Palestine Liberation Front, and various African and Asian national liberation movements. The UN capitulated to the Communists and issued 126 extra invitations to Whereupon, lo and behold, the holders of the' purse strings balked. Western countries including the United States allowed as how paying the way for the Reds would be the last straw. So, for awhile, it looked as if lack of funds would cancel the assembly of horrors, and so much the better. But some people cant let well enough alone. Michael Butler, who is the producer of the Broadway musical Hair," heard that the assembly needed funding. He offered Hairs" services to the UN he would hold, he said, get-togeth- non-membe- rs. er benefit performances of the show and raise a few hundred thousand dollars for the cause. The benefits eight of (Note to theatre-goer- s: them in the U.S. and Canada took place on June 4). Butler said he acted in the spirit of Hair love and service to humanity. Naturally, the planners of the assembly were ecstatic. Said one: We have been afraid the kids would stand away, feeling the assembly was too much Establishment; having Hair in the act will turn it on. (As if the Communists could care about precisely who provides the diatribes. platform for their is their be to If the Establishment unwitting so what?) ally, It is obvious, writes Thurman Sensing, Executive Vice President of the Southern States Industrial Council, what such representatives will do if they are permitted to enter the United States to attend the Youth Assembly. They will use the sessions at the U.N. to make propaganda war against the United States and its allies. Inasmuch as the United States has no diplomatic dealings with these nations, and as they are bitter enemies of free people, there is no reason why delegates from these nations should be admitted to the United States. Indeed, the Nixon Administration should make it plain at the earliest possible date that these youthful propagandists will not be permitted to set foot on American soil to abuse this country in the halls of the U.N. building. The Youth Assembly was, as the Chicago Tribune quipped, Saved By A Hair. A pity for America. American Way Features anti-Americ- an |
