Right-Wing Pressures Against Churches Waning in Most Areas

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

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

months she worked as a gov

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

will be served during the pro
gram and there will be an ad
mission charge.
All proceeds from the pro
gram will be presented the
Sisters.
'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.
