Religion in America Great Change in Christian Unity Seen in Last Two Decades Br LOUIS CASSELS UPI Correspondent Christians of every com munion - Protestants, Catho lics, Anglicans and Orthodox x joined this past week in a period of prayer for Christian unity. J This has become an annual observance. When it began on a small scale in 1940, it teemed like a very far-fetched Idea for Christians of differ ent confessions to pray for tinity. Their relations were so strained by centuries of mu tual distrust and animosity that was hard to see how they could even achieve a truce, Jet alone reunion. ? But a tremendous change has taken place during the past two decades. How far nd fast events have moved is witnessed by the fact that in 1963, it does not seem par ticularly remarkable - per haps not even newsworthy -that all of the branches of Christiandom will be praying during the next seven days for Cod to lead them into that ."oneness" which is the ex pressed will of Christ. i i "In our lifetime," says the Rev. Dr. W. A. Visser 't Hooft, secretary general of the World Council of Church es, "we have witnessed de velopments that one would have considered almost im possible only a few years ago." Council Gains Strength The World Council of Churches itself is one of those developments. Prior to its es tablishment 15 years ago, there was little cooperation, and still less understanding, among the non-Roman Catho lic churches of the world. To day more than 200 Protestant, Anglican and Orthodox de nominations are working to gether amicably in the World Council. Although they have found practical cooperation easier to achieve than doctrinal unity, they are working on the latter, too. Next July, more than 500 of the world's leading theologians will meet in Montreal to spend two weeks exploring the differ ences in "faith and order" which exist between member churches of the World Coun cil. Long after non - Catholic Christians began to draw to gether, in what ecclesiastics call the "ecumenical move ment," the Church of Rome remained aloof. It did not even formally recognize the existence of the World Coun cil of Churches. Then, four years ago, Pope John XXIII ascended to the chair of St. Peter. Pop Changes Pattern Almost immediately, un precedented things began to happen. Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox Christians be came "separated brethren" rather than "schismatics and heretics." The Vatican es tablished formal liaison with the World Council of Church es, and sent official observers to its 1961 assembly in New Delhi. The Archbishop of Canterbury called on the NOTICE All Rabbit Raisers are invited to see the new Rabbit Film . . .

Protestant bodies were invited to send observers to the Vatican Council. They accepted, and their delegates were treated with a cordial hospitality which made a profound im pression on all of protestant ism. It is no exaggeration to say that more barriers between Catholics and Protestants have fallen during the four years of Pope John's reign than in all of the preceding four centuries since the Refor mation. Reunion Far Off Despite the swift movement of events, nearly all leaders of the ecumenical movement agree that full reunion of the Christian family is still a very long way off. In fact, it may be said to be so far off as to be nresentlv mil nf inM since no human eye can dis cern solutions for the deep and sincere theological differ ences which divide Catholics and Protestants. Realism also requires the acknowledgment that there remain tnanv nrflptirnl canM of friction between Christian groups - for example, the di visive dispute over aid to parochial schools in the Unit, ed States, or the issue of re ligious Jinerty for Protestants in predominantly Catholic countries such as Spain. But Christians distressed about these things should re member the adage about the man who couldn't spp thp forest for the trees. Sex Offender Hearings Slated Clackamas - (UPI) - A large group of Parent-Teacher asso ciation members from the Clackamas Grade school dis trict will attend committee hearings in Salem when legis lative measures to crack down on sex offenders are discussed.

(UPI) Planets Bearing Intelligent Life Claimed Possible New York -flJPD- There may be 600 million planets bearing intelligent life in the Milky Way alone, the institute of Aerospace Science was told Wednesday, Prof. Lloyd Motz of Colum bia university explained to an audience of scientists and en gineers his theory that each of 200 million stars in our galaxy is similar to our sun and may be the center of a planetary system as great or greater than ours. Motz said that while the Earth is the only planet in our own system proven to have a highly developed form of life, both Venus and Mars could support intelligent life under slightly altered conditions. He said most scientists now take it for granted that life exists beyond our solar system even though we have no direct evidence of it. Dr. Bernard M. Oliver of Hewlett - Parkard Co.,' Palo Alto, Calif., discussed ways of using radio codes to probe deep into space seeking intel ligent life on other planets. He said such probes might have to be kept up for cen turies before a response could be hoped for. That's because some planets are hundreds of light years away. Rhode Island is the smallest of the 50 states. Its area is about three times greater than that of New York City. SECTION D MEDFORD PAGES 1 to 8 Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY. JANUARY 24. 1963 Success of Doctors In Rejoining Limbs Still Undetermined Boston -0IPD- Twice within eight months two separate teams of surgeons have ac complished what once would have been called the impossible-rejoining several limbs. The two cases involved ul timately may prove to be un successful. But the very least these surgeons have proved is that rejoining severed limbs for an extended period of time, perhaps indefinitely, is no longer an impossibility. Their initial efforts some day may lead to a reduction in the number of persons wno lose limbs because of acci dents. Last May, Everett Knowles, 13, of Somerville, Mass., had his right arm completely severed by a train. Last week, William Hunt, 37, a husky ex Marine, had his loft leg 90 per cent severed about half way up his thigh in an auto mobile accident. Today, both the youngster and the man have these limbs still attached to their bodies though the final results may not be known for many months. Mora Difficult .

The boy also probably has a poor er chance of regaining partial or full use of the limb. Everett's arm was severed just below the shoulder and the bone broken in half. The doctors first sutured arteries and veins, then rejoined the bones with a steel rod and finally sewed the arm back into place. The boy, a Little League pitcher until his accident, still must undergo additional operations yet to be sched uled. These will involve the rejoining of nerves, perhaps the most difficult surgery of all. without the nerves, the arm would be virtually use less, though ' there was a pulse and the limb was warm. Should this surgery fail, Everett might eventually lose the arm. Doctors are hopeful this will not be necessary. Different Technique In the Hunt case, the limb Involved, the leg of a 200 pound, 6-foot male, required a substantially different tech nique. Instead of suturing the ar teries and veins first, the Peter Ben Brigham hospital doctors decided the limb had to be stabilized first. They operated In relays, first rejoining the bone, then the vascular system and fi nally the muscle tissue. A major difference be tween the two operations was in the nerve systems. The boy's nerves all were severed. The intact 10 per cent of Hunt's leg included the all important sciatic nerve. Hunt now is able to wiggle his toes. Knowles has yet to move a finger because of the detached nerves. He does have some feeling in his arm. Agriculture To Ask Amendments Salcm-IUPt-The State Agri culture department said Wed nesday it will ask the legisla ture to make housekeeping amendments to five laws and to repeal parts of a sixth law. The housekeeping amend ments involve shipping point inspection services, dairy li censes and fees, the auction market act, transportation certificates, and exchange of services with other agencies. The department said that it wants repeal of three sections of the grain warehouse law. It said it also will co-sponsor with livestock groups a bill on brucellosis and tuber culosis indemnity payments. APPEALS OWN SUIT Albany, N. Y. -flJPU- State Supreme Court Justice Felix J.
