Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
Mrs. Armstrong and I are back at the college in England for
a short while again.
Do you realize the significance of recent events?
WHY are the Jewish people in the nation they have named
Israel staging this Nazi Eichmann trial in Jerusalem? Not because
they are thirsting for his blood--but because the world has
forgotten Nazi atrocities of 16 and 18 years ago, and they planned
to get it back on front pages by staging a dramatic trial.
WHY did the Russians time the flight of Major Yuri A.
Gagarin on man's first flight into outer space just when they did?
They did it to snatch the first-page headlines away from the
Eichmann trial!
How many other Soviet spacemen may have tried it earlier
and perished we shall never know. The Kremlin does not publish
news of their experiments--UNLESS or UNTIL SUCCESSFUL. They are
good propagandists. The United States tells the whole world when
a new attempt is to be made--and then if it fails, we become a
laughing-stock! Nevertheless, the Russians did shoot Gagarin into
orbit JUST as the Jerusalem trial was getting under way. All over
Europe--all over Asia and Africa--two billion humans went wild at
the
achievement. To them it made the United States look second rate in
science and engineering, when actually America is first. Now
Khrushchev will be cockier than ever.
In today's Paris edition of the New York Times this space-
man story still gets the first three columns at top of page one.
The Eichmann trial is a single-column story on page 5. It made
page one in the New York Herald-Tribune (Paris edition)--but only
a small headline at the bottom of the page, while at the top
Gagarin says the Soviets are now preparing space ships for trips
to the moon--and he hopes to be the one to make the flight.
Bombings of Cuba--probably the beginning of the END of
Castro--get the biggest headlines.
