WT? - nv. - mandment in America today, the message says, means ac tively supporting "those who seek freedom and justice In the face of discrimination and segregation." The message suggests four specific ways in which local c hu r c h e s and individual Christians can act to improve race relations: 1. Welcome people of all races into membership in the church and its organizations and make this fact known in the community. 2. Support "constructive" measures for integration of public schools, and firmly op pose any attempt by legis lation or "mob violence" to circumvent federal law. 3. Cooperate with other community agencies in break ing down racial barriers in housing.- 4. Urge elimination of seg regation on buses and other transportation facilities. Hungary's famed Lutheran bishop, Lajos Ordass, is under heavy attack by his country's controlled Communist press. Church leaders of other coun tries see ominous similarities between the present campaign of vilification and the one which preceded his arrest in 1948 on trumped-up charges of currency manipulation. Ordass was 1 released in October, 1956, shortly before the Hungarian freedom re volt. After the revolt was crushed by Russian troops, he was ousted from his post as presiding bishop of the Hungarian Lutheran church, but was allowed to remain as head of the church's South ern District. Ordass has stood aloof from the state-appointed "bishops" who have been imposed on the Hungarian Lutheran church by the Commurust government. His name was conspicuously absent from their recent joint declaration recognizing the "divinely or dained supreme authority of the state." The leader of the world's oldest Protestant 6ect, the Waldensian church of Italy, is visiting in the United States. Dr. Achille Deodato, mod erator of the Waldensians, came to Washington last week end to speak before several groups which have given fi nancial support to his church, which was founded in the 12th Century and now claims about 26,000 members -In Italy. Deodato said that recent court decisions are helping Italian Protestants to actual ly exercise the religious free doms which were promised to them by Italy's post-war con stitution. He said it is now possible for Protestants to hold religious meetings in rented halls without notifying police beforehand, or to open their own premises to public worship without requesting authorization. Protestant and Orthodox churches of the United States will be asked to contribute $10,428,000 in 1958 to sup port the global programs of relief for the hungry and homeless which they carry on cooperatively through church world service. Much of the money will come from contributions of individual church members during. "one great hour of sharing" on Sunday morning, March 16. Special collections for church world service will be taken up then in thousands of participating local church es. Church world service dis tributes food, clothing, medi cal supplies and other aid di rectly to needy families in 50 countries.

Piper Minister East German Reds Seek To Weaken Church Influence By ELLEN LENTZ Uniler Press Correspondent Berlin (IP) Communist East Germany has stepped up its campaign to wipe out the strong anti-Communist influ ence of the church. The Communists have either absorbed or banned all political parties, all mass or ganizations, all movements that could oppose them. Only the church remains outside their control. Throughout East Germany the Communists are now or ganizing rallies to denounce clergymen who take a firm anti-Communist stand. - They have jailed at least six clergymen and demanded the transfer of others in their stepped-up campaign. Great pressure is also be ing placed on the church to support Communist indoc trination of youth.' The Communists are attack ing religion in all form. But the Evangelical Church is baering the brunt of the as sault because more than two thirds of East Germans are Protestant. Despite the division of Germany itself between East and West, the Evangelical Church still is a unified body in both parts of the country. Dibelius Target The Communists are now apparently out to split the church and establish a Com munist-dominated Protestant church in East Germany. A favorite Red target is Bishop Otto Dibelius, titular head of the German Evangel ical Church. He still preaches in East Berlin, but since early this year the Communists have barred him from traveling outside the city to East Ger many. The Communists denounce Dibelius as following a "NA TO policy," and they have made it clear they want to wipe out his influence in East Germany.. But Dibelius and the church have not been intimidated. Church leaders at a meet ing in East Berlin in Dec ember resolved that "not even fear" could drive them to acknowledge a system that denies the existence of God They called on the East German faithful "to be ready to make sacrifices for the sake of freedom." The firm stand taken by the church is expected to aggrav ate state-church relations. Pressure exerted by the East regime may take the form of cuts of state subsidies without which the church would be hard-put to survive. Chaplain Sentenced A central point of contro versy is the "youth dedication service" which Communists are demanding all youths at tend in a drive to wipe out religious influence. Both the Evangelical and the Roman Catholic Church denounce as anti-religious the Communist c e r em o n y m which youths must swear al legiance to Marxism. Youths who take part in the cere mony are banned by the churches from confirmation and holy communion. Pastor Siegfried Schmut zler 42, Evangelical chaplain at Leipzig University was one of the first victims of the new Communist campaign. He was sentenced to five vears at hard labor on charges of "subversive action" against the East regime. His real sin was his strong influence among Liepzig students. Whether the Communists will succeed in putting so much pressure on individual pastors in the Soviet zone to make them break away from western church headquarters is still an open Question. rhnrrh headauarters in West Berlin does not believe the Communists will succeed. But they admit that- clergy men, standing alone in the Soviet zone under heavy duress, are feeling bitter, tired, frustrated and hopeless MIDWEEK SERVICE The Fellowship of Prayer, a midweek service of worship and study, will meet on Thurs days at 7:30 p.m., in Meeker chapel of the First Methodist church, with Dr. George G.
