6 B Rtligion In Anrrica THURSDAY. APRIL 25. 1963 MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MKT FORD, OREGON Right-Wing Pressures Against Churches Waning in Most Areas Br LOUIS CA8SELS UPI Corrtiponatnl Right-wing pressures which threatened to disrupt Amen can churches have waned dur ins the past year But the radical right is still causing trouble tor churches In some communities. And even in areas where its in fluence has declined sharply. church leaders are wary of a possible resurgence. These observations are based on a nationwide survey conducted by the National Council of Churches. It asked state and local church councils in all sections of the country whether they have detected any change in rightist pressures, such as the "Communisu-in - the - clergy Medical School Staffer Gets Award For X-Ray Work Portland - Mrs. Hilda E Drum, assistant professor of radiological technique at the University of Oregon Medi cal school, has been named a fellow in the American So ciety of X-Ray Technicians. This is the highest honor that can be awarded to a member of her profession. There are less than 30 fel lows in the 10,000 member society, which honored Mrs. Drum for her outstanding contributions to the field of X-ray technology. A member of the Medical staff tor the past 22 years Mrs. Drum supervises one of the largest X-ray technology schools in the country. Invented Device A positioning device she invented which makes it easi er and safer to X-ray infants up to six months of age won her the 1962 National Elec trical Manufacturers associa tion award. The device is now used in other health centers throughout the United States. Born in Cologne, Oermany, she received the degree of in structor of economics from the University of Cologne. Her diploma bears the aigna ture of Dr. Conrad Adenauer, who was then Lord Mayor of the city. The national socialistic rev olution abruptly put an end to her teaching career and, In 1938, she left Germany and came to the United States. She arrived in New York News Year's Day, 1939, with (60 in her pocket. For several months she worked as a gov erness, then met and married Bernard B. Drum, a former judge from Danzig. They mov ed to Portland in 1940 where she enrolled in the Medical School's X-ray technology pro gram. Following graduation, she Joined the staff and was named chief technician in 1943, instructor in 1954 and assistant professor in 1961. charges which sowed wide spread contusion and discord among U.S. religious bodies in 1962. Of the 96 state and local councils responding to the sur vey, 52 reported a decrease in such attacks. Fifteen others said they never had experi enced any serious trouble. Fifteen councils said things are about the same, and 14 felt there has been some in crease in rightist pressure dur ing the past year. Among the areas reporting a notable improvement were several communities in South- California and Arizona, where churches were perhaps more seriously demoralized by controversy than anywhere else in the nation. In Phoenix, for example, several congregations which were split wide open a year ago are now reported to be reunited. In Texas, another main cen ter of rightist activity, a church leader said extremist groups "are not as blatant now, and are working with less fanfare." He cautioned, however, that "in a few size able communities, the ex treme rigni remains a power ful force." Many of the respondents said that rightist groups are trying as hard as ever to stir up distrust of the clergy and t h e National Council of Churches, but church mem bers are not listening to the attacks as uncritically as they once did. A report from Denver spoke of "a more sane and balanced view by many church lay peo ple" as the major factor in a generally calmer climate. A church official in Long Beach, Calif., said responsible church members are wiser now about right-wing tactics than they were a year ago." "More of the people at the grass roots level are begin ning to see through the fal lacies of these attacks," said a report from Wichita Falls, Tex. "People in our churches seem more willing to look at the overall picture for them selves rather than take some one's word as authority," said a church leader in Spokane, Wash. Not all of the reports were optimistic, however. From Miami, Fla., the word was: "Little change here , . . Miami still remains a dangerous place to mention 'National Council of Churches'." In Atlanta a church leader said that "right-wing elements really strutted their stuff" whn a delegation of Rursian churchmen visited the city during March. "The minute our council takes a stand on race relations or some other controversial social issue, the right - wing pressures are just as strong as ever against us," said a report from Oklahoma. Sisters To Be Honored Sunday The Sisters of the Holy Name of the St. Mary's schools in Medford will be honored at a benefit program sponsored by tne Kogue Kiver council of the Knights of Columbus Sunday. April 28.

'Green Belt' Tax Bill Gets Approval Salem - IUPD - A measure expanding "green belt" tax reduction was approved Wed nesday by the house tax com mittee. At present, land near metro politan areas can be taxed as farm land if it is so zoned. The new bill would add land in farm use, even if it is not zoned as farm land. The bill would make the owner liable for back taxes at the higher rate if the land is sold or the use is changed. The back-pickup feature is designed to discourage hold ing farm land for speculation purposes.
