Page 6 Section" '4 Church Told Merger Won't - Halt Freedom Discussion on Matter Highlights Annual "v- Conference Bt GEORGE W. CORNELL - OMAHA. Neb. Congrega tional Christians were assured to day thM their traditional "free dom o. faith and manner of wor ship" won't be hampered in a pro pdied, historic merger with an other denomination. An executive committee, head ed by the Rev. Dr. Raymond Walker, of Portland. Ore., de clared that the relationship of in-, dividual congregations to the new Congregational Christian General i Council moved into its second cay. The committee sought to an swer rum b hues of complaint that t$e union might apply central coercion on the keenly-cherished 'local autonomy" of Congrega- uonal Christian churches. I Brought together in the merger would be two churches of distinct-1 ly separate origins and organiza tional customs the first such un ton in America to bridge such a gap in tne multiple families of protestantism. Dr. Albert Buckner Coe. of Eos ton, moderator of the Congrega tional Christian churches, told the meeting last night the vitality 0 the church has always derived from its ability to progress and adaot to new needs. .""We have the ability to change to change without losing our faith or our freedom." he said. Earlier, the oelegates unani mously elected George B. Hast-j ings. a Grant, Neb., attorney and a former county prosecutor and state senator, as Council modera tor, the church's top elective post. Re succeeds Dr. Coe at the end of the current meeting. (n taking the office he said: "I would plead for unity of spirit, unity of purpose and unity is or ganization." Bristling attacks on the pro posed church union marked the opening session, and drew a plea later from the Rev. Dr. Arthur a Bradford, of Jaffrey, N.H.. that the subject be approached un der God's guidance. ,"If this be our way of procedure we shall at no moment cease to be a council and become a Crowd," he said. He said the merger represents "an attempt to give practical ex-i press ion to ideals cherished for ' fenerations." .Congrccat lonal Christians, with their strictly self-ruled congrega tions, have their roots in Knglish protestantism and the early pil grims, while the Evangelical and Reformed Church was planted in this country from a German and Swjss background. Jt has a more coordinated gov erning system, with individual churches related to the national general cynod on principles simi lar to tho5e by which states are related to the U.S. government. But the plan of union promises that all congregations in the new church will retain "the rights now enjoyed. I The executive committee, ex- pandmg on this, said "there is no pvwer or authority and none is chimed by which the General Council' could make individual churches a part of the union. But a subtle question intruded Into the discussion: Does a church have to say specifically it wants in the union to be in? Or does it have to take specific negative ac tim in order to keep out? ,An opposing group, led by the Rev. Malcolm K. Burton, of Pon tiac. Mich , proposes that no con gregation be considered a part of the union, unless it takes definite affirmative action saying it wants to be in.

This was the prediction made during Wednesday's luncheon program of the Salem Rotary club by G. H. Macomber, Port land, district sales manager for United Air Lines. Macomber sketched the pro gress of his company during the ! past 30 years. In answering I statements that the government 'is subsidizing the air lines, Ma comber said United'! receipts for carrying the mail of $10,000,000 was more or less underwriting a portion of the postal services ex ; penses.
