Steps Taken
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J. W
Delegates representing l,600.(KiO
Baptists took a first cautious step
Saturday toward giving the Ameri
can Baptist C aventioH power to
set policy for 6,009 member
churches.
A resolution calling for whole
sale reorganizations of the ABC
general council was introduced
Saturday at the convention's an
nual meeting. The measure was
referred back to the council for
further study with the understand
ing that it. would come up for a
vote at the 195 meeting in Seattle.
A committee of the general coun
cil urged reorganization "for great
er coordination and integration of
our (Baptist) program, for greater
economy of operation and for a
single, representative policy-mak-ins
group."
Historically, each Baptist church
in the convention has been self
governing. The actions of the con
vention have not been binding up
on the churches v
But now, the council committee
said, "There is among our con
stituency an awareness of the
need" for a stronger guiding hand
at the convention helm.
The reorganization plan, in part,
called for:
1. Widening the general council's
membership: '
2. Broadening the functions of
the general council "to include the
general task of coordinating 'he
programs and policies of the con
vention and the organizations re
lated to it to include the functions
heretofore assigned to the council
on missionary cooperation."
3. Charging the council on mis
sionary cooperation to an advisory
council "for the purpose of advis
pertaining to the life and work of
ing the general council on matters
our churches generally."
World C of C
Meet 'Smooth'
TOKYO I Delegates to the
congress of the International
Chamber of Commerce said Sun
day a new understanding between
businessmen of "have not" and
"have" nations has emerged from
the 15th ICC sessions.
Contrary to some predictions
during the week-long congress
which ended Saturday night there
was scarcely a flareup. V
"Instead of "a clash between
haves and have-nots, it was one
of the smoothest meetings ever,
satisfying my most sanguine ex
pectations," said Camille Gutt, of
Belgium, president :.
. More Asians attended the con
gress than ever before.
"It may mark a turning point."
said Plylip D. Reed, of New York,
president of General Electric Co.,
'in that we have laid the lounda
tion for a much better close, mu
tual understanding between the
business, commercial and financi
al leaders of Asia and their count
erparts in the West."

Rights Section, said be could not
comment on the case until he saw
the FBI report.
Local law enforcement has brok-
en down in many places and fed-
eral aid is needed, the NAACP
wired Atty, Gen. Herbert Brown
ell. "In some sections of the state,
the pretense of law enforcement
officers top rotect Negro citizens
has collapsed since the advent of
the white citizens .council," the
telegram said. .1
Citizens councils are white
groups organized to keep segrega
tion in all walks of life.
Sheriff Ike Shelton said Negroes
would not be bothered unless they
break the law. "If they don't vi
olate any laws, it's O.K., but we
haven't done anything wrong and
we're not going to let them take
the town." .
The NAACP claims the Rev.
George W. Lee was murdered be
cause he tried to get Negroes to
vote in Humphreys county, in the
heart of the agricultural Delta
where Negroes outnumber whites.
Shelton agreed the Baptist min
ister was slain by a shotgun blast,
but said another ftegro probably
did it. The Rev. Lee was known
as a "lady's man," the sheriff
commented.
A coroner's jury could no de
cide what caused the minister's
death." -
Lee was found dying in his
wrecked car which crashed into a

Choice Urged
Of All Nations
MIAMI, Fla. tm A resolution
urging governments throughout the
world to give religious freedom to
the people was adopted Saturday
by the 13,000 j delegates to :he
Southern Baptist Convention.
The convention noted "with grat-
titude the developments' in various
countries (especially in Latin
America)" indicating wider recog
nition of the principle of separate
church and state.
No mention was made of this
week's action ! by the Argentine
government to separate the state
from the Roman Catholic Church.
but the resolution was apparently
inspired by that development.
"We do not desire to identify our
selves with any political group, but
only with the principle of full re
ligious liberty,? the resolution said.
"We abhor any invasion of the
conscience of man,, whether by
constituted authority of state or,
as is too often true today, by re
ligious bigots, I in violation of the
constitution of a nation.
We join with all who support
the principle of religious - freedom
anywhere in the world, especially
in Spain, Israel, Italy and through
out Latin America. We pray that
freedom of conscience may soon
be enjoyed in lands now domin
ated by communism. -

BOISE, Idaho (f) Republican
National Chairman Leonard W.
Hall said Saturday night the ad
ministration is making big strides
toward its , objectives of lasting
peace and prosperity.
He spoke of the : "dramatic
events' of "the past week as hav
ing ."highlighted the - outstanding
achievements of the Republican
administration and raised hopes in
the hearts of most Amricans that
President : Eisenhower would run
for re-election."
Hall, in an address prepared for
a party fund-raising dinner, re
ferred to recent official figures on
"business activity and Secretary of
State , Dulles' television report to
the nation on the international out
look.. Touching on the administration's
"partnership" water and power
policy, HaU predicted it would re
ceive a good test in the Hells Can
yon project on the Snake River
between Idaho and Oregon." .
A recent recommendation of a
Federal Power Commission ex
aminer for the private construction
of one of three proposed dams in
Hells Canyon, he added, was one
step closer to the harnessing of
the power on the Snake.
He said the administration's pow
er policy is based on giving local
enterprise, public or private,- a
chance to develop power, with the
federal government stepping in
when the local agencies are un
able or unwilling to do it
"Thus," he asserted, "the Eisen
hower administration rejects ths
federal 'whole hog jnethod which
the Truman administration pur
sued." Sardine Burn

U.S. Rules Out
Yugoslavia
Aid Stoppage
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON 11 - U. S. offi
cials Saturday ruled out any in
terruption in U. S. aid to Yugo
slavia pending the outcome oi a
visit of Russian leaders to Bel
grade i This' Soviet diplomatic mission,
Washington officials now believe,
bay intensify Tito's avowedly mid
dle position between the Russians
land the Western powers, but prob
ably will not substantially alter his
basic relations with the West .
What its impact on Soviet satel
lite states will be is a matter of
the most intense interest. Secre
tary of State Dulles thinks the
Russians are in for trouble in East
ern Europe when they pull their
troops out of Austria in accord
ance with the independence treaty
signed in Vienna last Sunday.
Any trouble from that cause
could be made worse for the Rus
sians by their forthcoming dem
onstration of forgiveness for Tito,
who broke with Soviet Communist
rule seven years ago and had been
denounced repeatedly in Moscow
as a traitor.

Mrs. Hathaway and her husband,
also blind and deaf, were allowed
to keep the child in a Juvenile

welfare officials feared they could
not cope with an emergency.
They have been caring for Clar

Mrs. Kenneth Pipes, and a visiting
nurse service that looks in on
them.
The Hathaways live in a small,
frame cottage, and devote most of
their time to the baby, who has
normal vision and hearing.
Doctors said Mrs. Hathaway's
ability to hear the child's cries
indicated she could be helped furth
