Statesman, Salem, Ore., FrU Sept. 21, '56 (Sec. II)-17 Opposition to Western Controls System Arises at 8l -Nation Atomic Energy JVIeetiri By FRANCIS W. CARPENTER UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., Sept. 20 i An Hi-nation conference to set up an international atomic en ergy agency opened today. There were immediate indications of growing opposition to Western-approved control proposals. Switzerland joined India, the So viet Union and some others with objections to powers of inspection and control laid down in a pro will debate. A floor battle loomed before the constitution-signing ce remony is reached about Oct. '2. The opening session in the re decorated V. N. Assembly Hall was marked by M minutes of speechmaking in a vain attempt of the Soviet Union, India and II other countries to get an invita tion extended to Red China. They did not present a ormal resolution to back up their demand, bow- James J. Wadiworth. V. S. dele gate and temporary chairman, heard out the debate for the rec ord. There was no vote. Red China was not invited be cause the original General Assem bly resolution limited invitations to 87 members of the U. N., and Its specialized agencies. Commu nist China belongs to none. Only San Marino, among those who accepted invitations, was ab Finland. Luxembourg, Sudan and I Laos turned down the invitations. Nepal did not respond it all. Joao Carlos Muniz, Brazilian diplomat, was elected president of the conference. Paval Winkler, Czechoslovakia, waa elected vice president.

CORNELL Associated Press Religion Writer If your minister tries to influ ence your vote, you may resent it. But if he stays completely lilent about election issues, some mem cr of his conKrcRation may think he's shirking his duty. It's also a problem of his own conscience. That's the stirk'er that keeDs many clergymen treading a tight "!opo tocta1? "as the campaigns lor public office roll toward a deci sion. Should the minikter cautiously avoid taking any stand on specific ;K)litical ' questions? Or should he risk speaking out plainly on his own convictions. "As an ordained leader of a representative of Clod's romiivi i.'ty, I question his freedom to act and speak as just one more private citizen," says the Rev. Cibson Winter, an Episcopal rec tor of Parishficld, Mich. "But many clergymen would legitimately argue this point." A symposium at clergymen and other authorities on the subject has been published by "Informa tion Service," edited by Dr. Ben son Y. . Landis, had of the re :?arch L'ireau ot the National Council of Churches. 'Don't Mix' Tlieres a common saying that "religion and politics don't mix," tit Dr. Samuel W. Blizzard, a sociologist of Pennsylvania State I'niversity, says: "To avoid mixing religion and politics, the minister's only real alternative is to be neutral, non committal or indifferent." In few other professions is there itch concentrated pressure on a tan to watch his political step. It can. Dr. Blizzard said, virtually cru-h a minister's rights and duties as a citizen in this field. Besides, he adds, it tends to deprive the community of "in sights and understandings" of re ligious leaders on specific issues. The persuasion comes from other, perhaps sometimes less ethical, quarters. PalUically Active Many Protestant ministers, how ever, are highly active in party politics in this country. A number of congressmen and other public o.ficeholdcrs and candidates are ordained clergymen. "It is the duly of the minister of the local church to declare his lith in the system of government t lat he believ es serves the nest purposes of the people." says Rep. Adam Clayton Powell ID-NY . The Rev. Mr. Powell. Negro pastor of New York's Abyssinia Baptist Church, .says that when he thinks candidates are right on vital issues, "I support them di rectly from the pulpit." Others would draw a clear dis tinction between opinions ex pressed in the pulpit, ami liios? advocated as a private individual. "It is all right if the church members know that the minister .J.?vo particular, party and par i :ular candidates." says the Rev. enneth E. Reeves, of I'niversity 'resbylenan Church. San Antonio, Tex. "This is better than 'bush hush'." Draw the Uae "But," he adds, "there Is a place to draw the line. The minis-t-r has no business espousing candidates or introducing obvious political controversy in the church's worship of sermons." In the Roman Catholic Church in this country, diocesan decrees ;enerally bar priests from any direct participation in politics, s-ich as running for office or ac tivity in partisan campaigns. They would not deal with such matters from the pulpit or in their priestly functions." said the Rev. .Joseph 0 Brian of the New York Chancery Office. As a private ntizen, however, a priest may take definite positions. But only in "extraordinary cir cumstances," when authorized by hierarchical authority, may he carry these positions into parish work. Pope Pius XII. at times, has advised specific action, such as voting against Communists. Mental Hospital Escapee Taken SPOKANE, Sept. 20 (41 Laverne F. Laughlin, 27. a con vict who escaped from the maxi mum security ward at Eastern Hospital Aug. 2S, was captured Wednesday at Pocatello, Idaho, sheriff's officers here said.
