3 G o o TEN MEDFORD (OflXGOl) MAIL TRIBUNE 3 Tuesday. December 3, 1957 America Keady for Religious Revival, Top Protestant Official Declares Q By LOUIS CaSSELS United Press Correspondent St. Louis. Mo. OP! A top Protest official said Tuesday America is ready for a religious revival but it hasn't had one yet. Dr. Roswell P. Barnes, associ ate general secretary of the National Council of Churches, said that Christians . Louis Cassels have no right to be "complacent" about the "widespread interest in religion that has swelled U.S. church membership to an all-time high of more than 100 million. Instead of basking in their own statistics, he said, churches should address themselves to the tremendous task of leading their new members beyond a vague "faith in faith" to genuine "obedience to God and accept- Girard Free To Return To States Tokyo W Army S3C Wil liam S. Girard, freed by a Japa nese court in the fatal shooting of a Japanese woman, packed up today to go home to Illinois with his Japanese wife for Christmas. He was free to leave Japan after Japanese prosecutors an nounced they would not appeal the suspended sentence given him for manslaughter. The 22-year-old Ottawa, III., soldier and Haru (Candy) Sue yama Girard, the 29-year-old Japanese divorcee he married ried last July while awaiting trial were tentatively scheduled to sail for the United States on a military transport on Fridy. Girard was elated at the prose cution decision not to appeal the case. "I feel good all over," he said. Japanese and U.S. officials were relieved. Opposition Japa nese Socialists and the daughter of the woman Girard killed were incensed. : The announcement brought an end to the controversial case that began last Jan. 30 when Girard fired a cartridge case from the grenade launcher on his rifle and killed Mrs. Naka Sakai. 46, a metal scavenger, at the Camp Weir firing range. . Duke of Windsor Back in Britain London W The Duke of Windsor came to Britain today for his first public engagement here in 21 years. There were new rumors of a reconciliation with Queen Elizabeth II. Ostensibly, the ex-king was here torettend the memorial serv ice for the old friend who was best man at his wedding to Wallis Simpson. But Wednesday night he will make his first public speech in Britain for 21 years atan army dinner in London. The fact that he had accepted the invitation to speak prompted fresh speculation that a recon ciliation with his family might be near. The duke has not fulfilled a public! engagement in Britain since he abdicated as King Ed ward VIII except to attend his brother's funeral. "Hie aftonHanro tho fnnpral of his mother. Queen Mary, a year later was strictly private. Royal family opposition to his marriage has always been as sumed the reason the duke stay J awav from Britain for so llovember Traffic Claims 58 Lives Salem ID Oregon traffic claimed a tie for the second high- GCest number of fatalities in one j month when at least 58 persons died in November, the Depart ' ment of Motor Vehicles reported today. The toll sent the 11 month count to 422. With December still to go. the death figure is only one shy of last year's final count of 423. Traffic safety officials ' said that mark will probably be sur passed this week at the current rate of fatalities. The previous recorded high for one month was 59 killed in August of 1950. There were 58 deaths in November of 1936. In a move to clamp down on unsafe driving this month, State Police are issuing citations to drivers to appear in court for violations of the basic rule. ance of His proferred salvation through Jesus Christ." In a major address before the 2,000 delegates to the National council's triennial general as sembly, Barnes cited many as pects of national life which prompt "humble reflection on the actual state" of religion in America. "The incidence of crime has reached a new high, the nation al divorce rate Is a scandal and alcoholism and narcotics addic tion have become a widespread menace to health and morals." Jealousy of Reds Foolish On an even deeper level Barnes said, "The reaction of our nation to the Soviet's recent launching of satellites has been alarmingly revealing. In "frenzied fear and jeal ousy" of the Russian scientific achievement, America has come "dangerously" close to throwing overboard its own "standards of value" and adopting the "ma terialistic" Communist belief that technological progress- is the only thing of "fundamental importance."' A truly Christian people could face the "possible technical su periority of a challenging pow er" with a calm confidence that "our ultimate destiny is in the hands of God and that we are not the helpless children of his torical circumstance." The Rev. Dr. O. Fredericke Nolde, director of the Commis sion of Churches on Internation al Affairs, told the assembly Monday that the gravest danger to world peace "lies not in fan tastic scientific achievements but in fantastic human reac tions.'' Russia s reaction to tne suc cessful lofting of two space ve hicles, he said, was a "boastful offer of a rocket shooting match." America's reaction was "a belittling fear, an unhappy effort to maintain prestige" and a drive for "extremist counter measures." "We seem to be acting like spiritual adolescents at a time of scientific maturity," Nolde said. Ike Sends Greetings President Eisenhower sent the assembly a message of greetings by the Rev. Frederick Fox, Con gregational minister now serv ing as a speech writer on tne White House staff. Fox said the President hopes that America's churches will ' "speak up clear and strong" to remind the na tion of its moral responsibilities in the recent world situation, and will voice "judgment as well as praise" of national poli cies. Other developments at the as sembly: Council leaders reported that the United States must build 2,000 new churches a year for the next 20 years to keep up with population growth. They estimated that $900 million will be sepnt on church building in 1957 and more than $1 billion next year. New York attorney Charles Parlin, a member of the World Council of Churches central committee, said the phenomenal rate at which the world's popu lation is growing confronts all Christian bodies with the ques tion of "reappraising their posi tion on birth control." ROYAL LIKENESS Britain's Queen Elizabeth H studies a bronze statue of herself during visit to the 228th Exhibition of the Royal Society of British Artists in London. The statue, by Nigerian artist Benedict En wonwu, ultimately is to be placed in the Nigerian House of Representatives at Lagos.

Hoffa Arranged For Wiretapping, Investigators Told New York IIP Teamsters President-elect James R. Hoffa arranged to have telephones at the Union's Detroit headquarters tapped to find out if any of his subordinates were "selling him out" to Senate investigators, ac cording to testimony at Hoffa's trial on wiretap charges. A government witness, Rud olph L. Doelicke, Hollywood, Calif., testified Monday that he helped install wiretap equip ment in the office of Teamsters Local 337 in July, 1953, as a re sult of Hoffa's fears that union small fry" were disloyal to him.

Doelicke, who described him self as a film actor, said he was a New York state trooper until the end of June, 1953. He said he was hired for the Detroit job by Spindel and was introduced to Brennan, whom Spindel de scribed as Hoffa's "right-hand man." He said completion of the wiretap took three nights.

France and Arab Differences Hurt Efforts by U.N. United Nations (IP) Deep ening differences between France and the Arab states to day hobbled UN efforts to re solve the Algerian rebellion. The French demanded the Al gerian Nationalists end the shooting phase of their three-year-old rebellion immediately. The Arabs insisted on "independ ence" for Algeria before a cease fire. The General Assembly's main Political committee scheduled morning, afternoon and evening sessions today in an effort to wind up the debate. French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau made it clear Monday night that France feels its new "framework" and elec tion laws for Algeria are more than enough to show its good faith. Sequence of Events He reaffirmed the French po sition that the sequence of ev ents for Algeria must be: 1. A cease fire, 2. Elections of local, regional and national assem blies, 3. Negotiations on the fu ture status of the North African territory. Saudi Arabian Minister of State Ahmed Shukairy, a lead ing spokesman for the Arab cause, rejected this sequence in his speech in the political com mittee earlier in the day. He said the so-called frame- NLRB Rules Against Portland Contracts Washington (IP) A National Labor Relations Board exami ner, Martin S. Bennett, today said that "pre-hire contracts" be tween the Teamsters Union and members of the Portland chap ter of the Associated General contractors ot America were illegal. Bennett said one of the clauses of the contracts is "flag rantly violative" of the law. He said the clause, regarding sub contractors, denies to employees of a subcontractor the right to select their own bargaining representatives, forcing them to deal through a union selected by a general contractor. Bennett recommended to the board that Teamsters local 911 b e required t o compensate James Keener and Gideon Par ker for loss of pay suffered as a result of their enforced re mo vel from a job at Chiloquin on March 6. work law was "neither a law nor a framework."

TT WAS A NICE TRY, BUT ..." seems to sum up public opinion about competitive cars attempting to equal the styling and features of the Swept-Wing 58. They tried to get as low, but had to lower the roof to do it. (Less headrcSom, same high, boxy, cooped-up look.) Their windshields got smaller, while ours got bigger. Most of them still don't have Total-Contact Brakes to assure smooth, even, safe stops when needed. Nor do they O offer push-button TorqueFlite, the proven automatic transmission, and Constant-Control power steering that works full time not part time as some other systems do. And Dodge no-sway, no-dip Torsion-Aire is standard equipment. (Bus-type air springs offered by some cars cost well over $100.00 extra.) So compare all the 1958 models with Dodge. We think you'll agree: Other cars are catching on, but they can't catch up. See Swept-Wing '58 by Dodge at Parsons Motors, 315 E. 5th St., Medford, Ore. UE?
