'Red Dean' in Hot Water After Sunday Sermon in Shrine London (U.R) The "Red Dean" of Canterbury's first pro Communist sermon in the Church of England's mother ca thedral landed the party-lining prelate in some of the hottest water of his stormy career to day. Dr. Hewlett Johnson, the con troversial "Red Dean," had kept Communism out of his sermons in the ancient shrine of Canter bury during his years of pink tinged preaching and periodic missions to Moscow. Praises Communism But on Sunday the 81-year-old Stalin prize winner told wor shippers that Christianity and ' Communism have "many points of contact which will pave a road to unity" and said the two faiths "will eventually bring blessings to the entire human race." The Red dean, who supported Communist China's charges of American germ warfare in Ko rea, has run into trouble before, including demands in the House of Commons for his ouster. To day almost the entire British press demanded that something be done. 'Stain on Church' "Canadius," editorial column ist of the Daily Sketch, said it was "lamentable" that the church cannot "turn the dean loose to . . . peddle his politics from his soap box. He is a blot and a stain on the Church of England ..." In 1950 the Archbishop of Canterbury wrote that "It is un fortunately true that the dean has so conducted himself as to create embarrassment wherever he goes." "He cannot be removed from the office till he breaks some law, ecclesiastical or civil," the archbishop said. "He has a per feet liberty to say what he says since there is no law against it . .'.

That's Governor Lane DwineU at right 100 Americans Per Week Signing Up for Pay-As-You-Go Venture in By ROBERT ZIMMERMAN United Press Corresoondent New York U.R) Ameri cans at the rate of 100 a week are signing up for pay-as-you-go venture in the stock market. In a year and a half, since the New York Stock Exchange set up its "monthly Investment plan," these business and profes sional men, wage earners and housewives hfive plunked down $18,000,000 to become part-owners of some of America's biggest corporations. ; And this type of investment, sometimes mistakenly called the "installment plan" buying of stocks is only a part of a big ger picture that shows the little man" knocking at the door of Wall Street in increasing num bers. A week-long "how to invest" show staged in New York last month by a big brokerage firm and some industrial firms was set up to accommodate 50,000 visitors. More than 90,000 show ed up, and few of them arrived in Cadillacs. Most came by sub way. . : Wall Street experts say it is not easy to tell to what extent the "little man" is getting into the stock market. However, a survey by the Brookings Insti tute showed there were 6,490, 000 individual owners of public corporation stock in 1952, and the stock exchange estimates the number had risen to 7,500,000 by the end of 1954. Small Buyers ' There is no information about who the additional 1,010,000 share-owners are, but many are known to be persons who are investing in stocks for the first time in their lives, and on a nickles-and-dimes basis. The New York Stock Ex change opened its "monthly in vestment plan" in January, 1954, and reported this week that more than 34,000 men and wom en have begun this systematic program of accumulating stocks. They can invest as. little as $40 every three months. ! : s . The exchange said these in vestors have picked1 up about 500,000 shares of common stock in 18 months. General Electric and. Radio Corporation of Ameri ca are their favorite investments. Eight out of ten of them are using their .dividends to buy more stock, bearing out Wall Street's claim that the big in terest in the market today is in vestment rather ' than specula- o "foe tion and quick profit Merrill .

Although working under a "24-hour news black o u t," spokesmen for both sides indi cated they would like to reach an agreement well in advance of the Aug. 31 deadline. They want to avoid scattered walkouts which plagued General Motors and Ford when similar talks ex tended several hours past the deadline.- To Outline Demands Emil Mazey, secretary-treasurer of the union and 'head of the Chrysler bargaining team, said he expected to spread out at least part of the union's de mands early in the talks. The negotiations were begun Monday, almost a week in ad vance of the date specified in the old contract for the begin ning of the talks. The early start was generally interpreted as a move designed to bring the talks to a conclusion before the pres ent contract between the com pany and the union expires. . Union officials . said they would press Chrysler for a con tract similar to agreements reached with Ford and GM. the theory that people are anx ious to know more about Wall Street.
