DALLAS, 0 — A Texas family's
custom of church tithing culmi-
nated today in the largest gift —
estimated at two million dollars —
ever received by the Texas Pres-
byterian Foundation.
Through lean years when it was
hard to pay the grocery bill, and
good years, the Toddie Lee Wynne
family of East Texas and Dallas
has “tithed”. Like many church
people, they voluntarily give a
tenth, or a specific share of
wealth for religious and charitable
purposes.
1 GREAT TIME
Today’s great tithe was from
oil. Mr. and Mrs. Wynne: their
• three children, Toddie Lee Wynne
Jr., and his wife. Martha: Jerry
Jane Morris and her husband, H.
C. Morris: and Imogene Thomp-
son and her husband, Burwell
Thompson, signed the final sales
documents transferring Amlico —
the American Liberty Oil Co., of
which the elder Wynne is presi-
dent, to American Petrofina, Inc.
This b an affiliate of the giant
Compagnie Financiers Beige Des
Petroles, which operates in more
then 30 countries.
The price: an estimated 38
million dollars. The exact figure
will not be known until a year-end
company audit. The church gift
is an estimated 10 per cent of
the net transaction.

Last year the Army announced
that its pigeons, for all of their
contribution in past wars, could
no longer keep up with the speed
and accuracy of modern electron-
ic communication. The 1,000 pig-
eons remaining in the Army’s
flock, housed at Ft. Monmouth,
N.J., were sold to fanciers at a
public sale in March. But the
Army held back its leading pigeon
heroes in order to find homes for
them in public zoos.
GI Joe, the famous pigeon who
saved the lives of a British brig-
ade during World War II, will go
to the Detroit Zoo along with
C. O. D.
GI Joo flew 30 miles in as many
minutes carrying an order to can-
cel the scheduled bombing of Col-
vi Vecchia, Italy, when it was
learned that more than 1,000 Brit-
ish soldiers had entered the city
ahead of time.
C. O. D. flew 30 combat missions
in the Mediterranean theater.

Ambassador Bohlen," a Russian
official once grudgingly admitted,
"is that he never panics, even
when, things are touchy, and os
forrpartee, he gives Nikita Ser-
gei vich (Khrushchev) a run for
his money."
TO MANILA
The U. S. State Department's
top Russian expert is going to
Manila, to be U. S. ambassador
to the Philippines, with, as he put
it, "no complaints, no squawks."
But his friends say he would
have liked to stay on and watch
the Russian scene a little longer.
The Soviet Union has been lik-
ened to a jigsaw puzzle perched
on a powder keg. In such a sit-
uation it's the stray pieces that
count, and the eye to catch them.
Bohlen, S3, has gained a repu-
tation as the ambassador in Mos-
cow with the best background, the
deepest knowledge of his sub-
ject, the most fluency in the Rus-
sian language.
Khrushchev and the other So-
viet leaders will have reason to
remember the easy-going, almost
languid wit often displayed by the
slim, athletic-looking diplomat.

“Mr. Wynne and his family, by
using the Texas Presbyterian
Foundation as the church agency
through which their gift might
become effective, have expressed
a confidence in the Foundation,
added to its stature and strength
and challenged others to similar
action."
NOT QUITTING

JUST HUNGRY
"Wha/do you expect?" quipped
Bohlen. “You've just whacked his
defense budget. Of course he’s
hungry."
Soviet leaders often sought out
Bohlen at receptions and engaged
him in long, serious conversations
which probably gave him a more
intimete understanding of the So-
viet leadership personality than
any other Western diplomat has.
“Chip knows you cannot win
their confidence or liking," one of
his intimates says, “but he also
knows you cannot deal with them
unless you have their respect."
No successor, regardless of abil-
ity, can easily assume the position
Bohlen maintained among his fel-
low diplomats and in his relations
with the Kremlin.
