- Since many of our Salem
church ' congregations have re
cently completed new edifices it
is a little late to take note of the
contrasting views on church arch
itecture as stated in an article in
the .New -York Times Magazine:
"The Modern 'Church or Tradi
tional?" Spokesman for the mod
ern was Pietro Belluschi, former-
T r n 1 1 j r .
iy vi roruana, now uean oi ine
school of architecture at Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology,
and for the traditional was Ed
ward Melville Bridge, Boston
architect Illustrating the article
are pictures of churches old and
new as chosen by these eminent
auuiin iiics, wiiu men jcuuiuicuis
on each. . . , , .
How they differ may be pre
sented succinctly in quotations
from their comments on two of
these. Of r daring design by
Frank Lloyd Wright for the Uni
tarian church at Madison, Wis.,
Traditionalist Bridge writes:
"Certainly this church is a build
ing apart, and not like any other
whatsoever ... It. places upon
the worshipper the - burden of
translating from a weazened 'ap
propriateness to meaning in the
motional, spiritual realm." And
of the First Baptist church at
Medford, Mass., designed by
Bridge, Modernist Belluschi
writes: "This church, built in
1935. is of a type which is still
apt to receive the ready approval
of the average congregation,
mainly because it avoids contro
versy. But to the modern archi
tect it appears to be a tired re
statement of what has been said
"with more fervor before."
What Belluschi argues for is as
religion must be "dynamic and
alive to be acceptable to the mod
ern educated man," the architec
ture of the modern church must
also be alive and dynamic. The
churches of the past reflected the
spirit of their age and the aspira
tions of their designers and ar
tisans. 1 Those of today must re
flM the imagination and the cre
ative intelligence of the design
ers and builders of today whose
DUTDOse remains "to impart spir

Grant Variety
Store Plan
Confirmed
Practical confirmation that the
W. T. Grant Co. will open one
of its chain of variety stores in
Salem was learned Saturday.
xity officials are expected to
put their stamp of approval Mon
day on an application by the firm
to install a fuel oil tank at 260
N. Liberty St, preliminary to
opening a store at that site.
The property, formerly occu

First National Bank building and
across, the street from the Lip-

a new building would be con

Brice Kidnap
Case Search
PORTLAND Ufi Search for the
'mail who attempted to kidnap
George F. Brice III from Catlin
Hillside School shifted to Clacka
mas County late Saturday night.
Sheriff s deputies at Oregon City
said they had been tipped that a
man answering' the description of
he missing gunman, lived in a
cabin near Harmony Point, east of
Milwaukie.
They drove up to the cabin late
Saturday night but the occupant
fled through a rear window and
disappeared in the brush. A dep
uty said a hat similar to the one
worn by the man who attempted
to kidnap the Brice child was found
inside.
The boy, known as Butch, and
his sister, Beverly, 12, were not
seen outside their wealthy par
ents' home Saturday.
Their mother, Mrs. George F.
Brice said that after Friday's har
rowing experience, she wanted to
keep the children out of the news
as much as possible.
The armed gunman forced his
way into the Brice home Friday,
and when he discovered that the
boy was in school, be ordered
Mrs. Brice to drive him there.
She convinced him the school
would release the boy only to her
and she went inside and had the
principal notify police she had a
kidnaper in the car.
At this point the gunman rushed
in the school, pushed his way into
a classroom and fired several
shots. An instructor, Manvel
SchaufOer. suffered a minor wound
in the hand.
The gunman then became fright
ened and fled.
Police began an immediate
search through the wooded West
Hills area. There were a number
of reports that the gunman had
been seen but no definite clues as
to his present whereabouts had
turned up.
Mrs., Brice said the man told
her he was going to hold the child
for ransom.

ner sponsored by the State Repub

thy said the report was an "in

of the Senate Investigations Sub
committee which he heads.
"Some chameleon politicians of
both parties make the grave mis
take of thinking that the left wing
elements of radio, television -'. and
press along the Potomac represent
America," he said, adding:
"Clever Communists would at
tempt to use the fellow travelers,
deluded egg-head liberals, and fair
weather or weather - vane politi
cians to cut down the power of
committees to dig out Commu
nists." . The senator also urged the
American people to get copies of
the subcommittee's forthcoming
probe of his row with the Army
and offered tq foot the bill himself
if demand exceeds the commit
tee's limited supply.

H-Bomb Blast
Danger Zone
TOKYO m U The United States,
surprised by the devastating power
of the hydrogen blast March l, has
more than tripled the distance
ships must keep between them and
the center of future mid-Pacific
explosions. -
Japan's Diet was informed Sat
urday that , the danger zone has
been increased in square miles by
more than 20 times.
Japanese ships were told to stay
out of an area with a radius of
430 miles during future tests in the
Marshall Islands area. The pre
vious barred-off zone was roughly
150 miles north-south by 200 east-
west.
(The U. S. Navy confirmed in
Washington the establishment of
the enlarged danger zone which it
described as an incomplete circle
radiating out 450 miles from a point
roughly between Eniwetok and Bi
kini atolls. ; i x
The area extends out from the
testing grounds in a directions in
which winds could normally be ex
pected to blow at this time of the
year. It omits a pie-shaped part of
the circle a supposedly safe re
gion to the southeast, including
Kwajalein atoll, the airway stop
ping point on the route across the
Pacific.)
Foreign Minister Katsuo Okazaki
told the Diet that the greatly en
larged limit was set in a , note
handed to the Japanese ambassa
dor in Washington.
The United States acted after 23

Attorney General Robert Y.
Thornton accepted an invitation
to step into a probe of reports of
vice and corruption in Lincoln
County, with the blessings hut
apparently not full approval of
Gov. Paul L. Patterson.
S Thornton. revealed a letter SaU
urdayan which he accepted the:
invitation of Lincoln County Dis
trict Attorney William Hollen
and suggested that Hollen get out
of the way and let the grand jury
and Thornton handle the inves
tigation beginning Monday. Hoi
len replied that he would not sten

cision but commented that "I anr

of District Attorney Hollen. The ;
people have a right to expect
effective cooperation between
the two."
No "Comnetenf Fvil...-
The attorney general did acV
me a week ago for extlusive
charge of the investigation.- He
did not, however, -present to me
any competent evidence u
though repeatedly requested to
do so, that would justify , me in
replacing the daly elected Lin.

y juugmenv sincere coopera
tion on the part of the attorney
general in the present arrange
ment will permit him to fully ex
plore all matters, including the
serious charges contained in his
letter to the-district attorney .
UTMhornton said in his letter to
Hollen that because of charges
and countercharges against the
district attorney, "it would ap.
pear that in, all fairness you
should take no part in the in
quiry. Otherwise you would be
investigating yourself.".

The letter ' continued, "Specif
ic charges have been m.H.
against you that you may be in
volved in criminal violations;
that you interfered with the law
ful investigation of the grand
jury and exerted improper pres
sure on both the grand jury and
witnesses; that you prevented
witnesses from testifying on vice
conditions and your possible con
nection therein except in your
presence, and that you altered
first grand jury report by elim
inating the statement that vice
conditions still exist in some in
stances and that public officials
had been intunidated. .,.
Thornton noted that Gov. Patix
terson had refused to give him
authority to supersede Hollen
But he said, "in view of the mantf
appeals for help from Lincoln

from, members of the last twd

scheduled to start Monday." J
Willing to Leave Room i f
Hollen said at Newport that hi
1 was willing to leave the grand
jury room any time be is asked
to but that he will not withdraw
from the investigation. n
Reports of alleged vice in the
county sent two delegations from
the county to call oh the governor
in Salem last fall, one asking the
governor to authorize" a full in-!
