NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURS, OREGON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1948 NINE Five Church Bodies Refuse to Attend World Assembly AMSTERDAM, The Nether lands. Aug. 23. CfV- Tht world council ol churchei formally came Into belnf today, 'the result of years of effort to give the spirit ual guidance of a unified Christ ian Church to the social, economic and political problems of the world. After 10 years as a provisional body, the Council look on its new status when the Archbishop of Canterbury, chairman of the first business session, called some 450 official delegates from 40 coun tries for the first order of busi ness. The council opened its first business session on a note of regret at the absence of any of ficial representatives from com munions of the Roman Catholic, the Russian orthodox, the South ern (United States) Baptist and the Missouri Synod of the Luther an church. The absence of these com munions was explained by Dr. W. A. Visser't Hooft, general secre tary of the world council. The Russian church's decision to decline was made at a con ference of the eastern orthodox church in Moscow in July, Dr. T. Hooft explained. It was said at the conference that unofficial ob servers affiliated with the Rus sian church outside of the Soviet Union, were present. A A resolution adopted at the Moscow conference, Dr. T. Hooft said, "describes our movement as a body which is not really con cerned with the unity of the church but rather with the gain ing of political and social in fluence." Dr. T. Hooft said the reasons given for the Russian hurch's "negative decision" were "based upon a complete misunderstand ing of the true nature of our movement." He added that If the world council succeeded in making It clear that it Is not pursuing poli tical purposes and that Its con cern is "for the lordship of Christ everywhere in East and West," It may be possible to remove the Russian misunderstanding. He said the door will be kept open for the church of Russia to he represented in the world council. FARM PRICE UP DES MOINES, Iowa (Jpi When a 160-acre farm, near Mel vin.

Marriagt Before Draft Registration Exempts WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 CP) Unless President Truman makes a change, young men who marry any time before thev reg ister for the draft will be de ferred from service.

Secretary of State Newbry has warned. Pointing out that this means greater exposure to the possibili ty of an accident, he said the traf fic volume is already hlEher than ever before, with late summer travel almost certain to set a flew, all-time peak. up to Aueust first. Oreson traffic accidents have claimed 2J5 lives, 176 of the victims meeting death in rural area smash-ups as against 49 inside cities and towns. "Only extra caution on the part of drivers and pedestrians alike will offset the extra risk Involved In car travel during the weeks ahead," Newbry declared. "There will be too many cars on the road to allow ten a momen tary lapse of attention." The top-heavy rural death toll Is attributed to faster highway speeds which increase the likeli hood of a fatality If any accident occurs.
