o o O PIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Church Leaders . Discuss Fear of Sputnik Idolatry By LOUIS CASSELS United Press Correspondent Washington IP Church lead ers are worried about the way Americans are reacting to Rus lia's lead in space vehicles. They believe the nation is becoming so Sputnik - minded that it may fall into the ancient sin of idolatry. Idolatry, in theo J gical language, is attaching supreme importance to some thing besides God. The idol which clergymen see America tempted to worship is technological prowess espe cially, the aboity to surpass Soviet achievements in rocketry. Most ministers agree that launching a satellite is an im portant national objective. Their fear is that it is becoming a na tional obsession. This concern was a dominant theme of speeches, resolutions and floor discussion at the re . cent General Assembly of the National Council of Churches at St. Louis. And it has since found expression in many Christmas-season sermons. A "Spontaneous Response The Rev. Dr. Roswell P. Barnes associate general secre tary of the National Council, said the emphasis was not planned in advance ... It was the spontaneous response of many different church leaders to the wave of "fear and jeal ousy" which swept over Amer ica in the wake of Russia's suc cess and the initial U.S. failure in launching space vehicles. He said churchmen are alarm ed by suggestions from "some national leaders" that America should be made over into a "scientific engineering society" imply because "avowedly athe istic" Russia has developed one. "More than once," he added, "history has witnessed the irony of a people unconsciously and unintentionally assuming the cultural characteristics of the nation it has defeated in a con test of power." "As a nation we could estab lish technological superiority over Russia and become active to the Communist philosophy of materialism which we abhor." ' Education Aid Emphasized ' Two specific issues on which church leaders can be expected .to wage a vigorous battle are 'education and foreign aid. The St. Louis meeting adopt ed a resolution approving more .to strengthen scientific educa 'tion. But it emphasized that this ehould be part of a much broad .er program to improve educa tion in general, and that scien tific training must not be stress ed at the expense of history, Slanguages, social sciences and 'other humanities. The assembly took a strong thand against moves to reduce .or eliminate foreign economic aid to free more budget funds for missile development. ! "It is not half so important .that we send Sputniks circling around the globe as that we should send more loaves of .bread around the world," said .the Council's new president, Dr. Edwin T. Dahlberg. "It is the hunger and misery of the vast population of the earth, the fanatical ignorance and illiteracy of oppressed peo- q pies, that nakes for war." iTwo Episcopal Groups Tell Christmas Plans T Christmas services have been announced by the Rev.

Suburban Effect On Churches Studied Springfield, Ohio (W The National Lutheran Council wants to know why the "move to sub urbia" causes some city churches to close their doors while others remain open. As a result, it has launched a study of "urban church effective ness' under direction of the Rev. Walter Kloetzli of Chicago, the council's secretary for urban church planning. Analyzing and interpreting dozens of interviews with min isters and key laymen in Luth eran churches all over the Unit ed States is Dr. Karl H. Hertz, associate sociology professor at Wittenberg College. , Hertz hopes to lay out a posi tive blueprint for strengthening the city church after a survey of congregations which have been effective in coping with the changes of urban society.

Cities represented in the sur vey include New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Philadelphia and Pitts burgh.
