FOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thuriday. Ociobr 24, 1957 IBrowneli's Resignation Seen As WeBcome To Many in South Br UNITED PRESS Resignation of U.S. Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. was welcome news to many of his longtime critics in the South. "I am encouraged and delight ed," commented Georgia Gov. Marvin Griffin. "I do not know the qualifications of his proposed successor, Mr. William P. Rog ers, but it will have to be an improvement." Rogerts, who has been serving as Deputy Attorney General, will take the top Justice Depart ment post when Brownell's re signation becomes effective in about two weeks. ' Brownell's resignation means the principal architect of the Ei senhower reconstruction era has bowed out in the middle of the mess he helped create." was the reaction of Louisiana State Sen. William Rainach. South Carolina Gov. George Bell. Timmerman Jr. said he was "not at all unhappy" about the resignation, but charged it is "merely an attempt to white wash the use of troops in Little Rock." "It is a pity he didn't resign earlier," said Georgia Attorney General Eugene Cook. Meanwhile there were these other integration developments: Sen. John C. Stennis (D Miss.) said "thousands of other 'Little Rocks' are inevitable throughout the South unless there is a change in the policy of the Eisenhower administration." Segregation leaders appar ently have failed in an effort to block a nationwide television in terview with the Rev. Martin Luther King. Negro minister who led the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott. Virginia officials had new hope for the state's pupil place ment law, which was struck down this week by the U.S. Su preme Court. State Attorney Genral Kenneth Patty said in his opinion "the law has not been rendered inoperative in all in stances." Crosses were burned in front of five Negro homes in Prattville, Ala., but authorities said they could find no apparent motive. Official Says World Problems May Be Answered in Christian Talks People, perhaps, ought to look to Christian gatherings instead of to the halls of Congress, the committee rooms of the United Nations or the chancellories of Europe or Russia to find the an swers to world problems. Dr. Eugene Carson Blake brought out yesterday in a talk to Med ford Kiwanis club members. Dr. Blake, president of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the United States, ad dressed Kiwanians at their noon luncheon at Rogue Valley Coun try club. His topic was "The Tiber s Banks and the Galilean Hill." Pointing to the conference be ing held here today and Friday on use and understanding of the Bible, the church official de clared that it may be that class rooms such as the ones here will do more in long range to answer questions on world matters. Picturei Emperor By way of. illustration Dr. Blake pictured Roman Emperor Claudius Tiberius Caesar pon dering problems of hi realm from his palace on a hill in Rome and portrayed Jesus 1,500 miles away on a Galilean hill telling of the wise man who built I his house upon a rock and the foolish one who built his house upon the sand. Claudius Caesar Tiad great military and political power and was thought of as a god in the empire while Jesus was at the time an itinerant preacher with no personal prestige. As time has passed, however, the church official said, the hill above the Tiber has shrunk in the perspective of the human eye but "the very strange hill" in Galilee grows larger and larger in human experience. The un known peasant, now spoken of with bated breath, has grown in significance while his contem porary has become less signifi cant. This should "give us pause" while we think of our contemporary situation, D. Blake declared. Morals Problem The problems of morals, morale, economics, religion and questions of the future for the Roman empire that might have been in the thoughts of Claudius Tiberius Caesar were mentioned by the speaker. He pointed to similar problems facing this country today. What church leaders are doing to bind Christians into one world-wide church may be the most important things that are happening but people tend to look by them, Dr. Blake said. "We may be looking to the wrong place for the answers to our problems," he concluded. Dr. Blake was introduced by Dr. D. Kirkland West, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, where he spoke last evening to keynote the conference on use and understanding of the Bible. Speaking to a crowd of 400 last night, Dr. Blake asked the question, how big is your church? Not in terms of mem bership, budget or building, he stressed, but in terms of success fulness. No church is so large, he said, that it can afford to be independent of the other churches in the community. God made the world a sphere, he explained, so there is no cen ter of religion. Immature in Thinking Asking the audience to visu alize their church, he reminded them that "the majority of peo ple are slightly immature in their thinking. They are apt to look at what is before their eyes, he added, and commented that to many Christians a church means only where they go to church or stay from." Our forefathers in the 18th century defined the church as universal, he explained, for all persons in every nation and their children. Naturally this multitude cannot meet together in one place so it is only reason able they be divided into indi vidual churches. But, he added, one should begin their thinking with the whole and then break it into parts. The freedom to interpret reli gion came when the Bible was translated into the language understood by the majority. Then scholars, starting research into the Bible's background, came to know each other. Thus they found that no one had a monopoly on truth. Research started the tide of churches growing together, he explained. Differenct in Churches Despite the many difference in churches today, Dr. Blake ex plained, there are more similari ties than differences in many of them. Guests were introduced at both Wednesday meetings. In cluded were Dr. Gerald A. La rue, national council western division director; Dr. J. Carter Swain, director of national council department of the Eng land Bible; the Rev. Dean Col lins, western area executive of the American Bible society, and the Rev. Raymond Schaefer, chairman Oregon Bible Commit tee for the national council, and a number of Medford ministers. Both the chancel and West minster choirs of the First Pres byterian sang at the evening meeting. Today's program" for the use and understanding of the Bible started with a breakfast at First Christian church attended by 19 ministers and committee mem bers. A registration of 300 per sons was reported by Dr. West, chairman of the conference, this morning at the workshops which started at 10:30 a.m. and which will continue through Friday.

The service said maintenance of a seeing-eye dog "which the individual uses daily in the conduct of his bus iness may be deducted as a med ical cost but not as a business expense. Governmeni Not To Commit Itself on Home Mortgages Washington The government announced this week it no long er will commit itself in advance to buy new home mortgages carrying the veterans adminis- j tration rate of 4 ',2 per cent in- j I . . i k The announcement was made by the federal national mortgage administration, a federally con trolled corporation. The admin istration buys government backed mortgages from banks and loan companies to supply these lenders - with additional funds for home loans. The FNMA has been giving commitments for a year in ad vance that it would take over mortgages on home builders planned to erect. With such as surance, a bank would be more likely to advance the builder money for construction and later accept the mortgage on the house. No More Commitments However, the FNMA said it no longer would make such standby commitments to pur chase 4Vi per cent mortgages The agency will continue to buy 4 1 2 per cent mortgages which are presented for sale, but at a lower price, the announcement said. Lenders who hold 4 1 2 per cent mortgages may continue to present them to FNMA for pur chase, but they will receive a price which makes the trans action less attractive. A spokesman said the change was necessary because "It's not good business to take 4V2 per cent mortgages when we have to pay about 5 per cent for our money." FNMA is borrowing $750,000,000 for the public on eight-month notes which carry 4 per cent interest, the high est rate ever paid on an issue of FNMA securities. NOT THINKING This young pheasant hen couldn't have been using her head if she figured it was safer on downtown Medford streets than it was in an outlying field - during hunting season, but that's where she wound up Tuesday, and it didn't tnke her long to discover her mistake. The flustered bird was 'captured by Werner E. Warnholtz, above, as she tried to not through the glass door to Bell's Gift shop at the corner of Eighth st. and Central ave. What the bird didn't realize is that it's illegal to shoot pheasant hens but there is no law to protect her against getting run over. Warnholtz released the frightened pheasant in a field north of Medford. REED TO RUN AGAIN ' Washington OP) Rep. Dan iel A. Reed (N.Y.), who has serv ed longer in Congress than any other present Republican mem ber, says it is his "present inten tion" to seek reelection next year. The 82-year-old lawmaker said he was not formally an nouncing his candidacy. "I nev er do," he said, "I just run." . im .V AMO THE 3MTERFILL f HAZIER Of KENTUCKY BOURBON W' S.NCE1810 .AL 88 Proof CS WAIttftU. AMD FKAZ1ES BlSUUitT COMPANY. BA1DSI0WH. IMTUCCT 1 a"min Joseph W.
