CURB SOUGHT ON
POLITICAL ACTS
OF CLERGYMEN
Richmond. Va. (IP) A movement
to restrict political activity of Me
thodist pastors was In progress here
at the annual Virginia Methodist
conference.
Fred C. Abbott of Norfolk, in a
resolution offered to the conference
protested against the practice of
preachers taking part in partisan at
fairs, declaring it tended to engen
der strife and promote discord.
Action on the resolution which
would crystalize the future policy of
the conference and which would be
submitted to the general conference
of the church at Dallas next spring,
is expected early next week.
The resolution as presented by
Abbott declares the traditional pol
icy of the church since Its founda
tion has been to Instruct Its minis
ters to hold aloof from worldly af
fairs and particularly to "eschew
and abstain from political Interests
and activities."
PRESS RATES TO
JAPAN REDUCED
Toklo (IP) Announcement by the
cable and radio communications
companies of a reduction In the de
ferred press rate between the Unit
ed States and Japan to nine cents
American currency per word, was re
ceived with enthusiasm Saturday by
the Japanese press.
The new rate will become effec
tive October 21.
Inauguration of the new rate Is
considered by Japanese newspapers
of outstanding Importance, so far as
news to and from the United States
Is concerned. It was pointed out that
such a rate will enable the Japanese
press to publish In greater volume
important news from the United
States, particularly presidential ad
dresses, the text of notes and the
detail of outstanding news events.
Public Interest in American news
has always been Intense but owing
to the high press rates heretofore
prevalent, the Japanese press has
found the cost of transmitting de
tails of tne news prohibitive.

by the secretary of state showed
registration of 89,071 visiting cars

erage of 3.5 persons to each car,
and upon an average seven-day stay
in the state.
Approximately two-thirds of the
tourists were classified as hotel and
resort patrons, the rest camper
tourists. The survey Indicates the
first group spends $7.50 a day per
person; the campers outlay was set
at $3.50 a day.
Based upon this formula, the
hotel class of tourists will have left
approximately $20,212,500 in Oregon
by the end of the year; the camper
