Referring to his distorted notions of Christianity prior to that time, he said: "I thought that Jesus Christ was a killjoy and that Chris tianity was a prison house.

Radio Free Europe Broadcasts Reports On Racial Turmoil By AL KUETTNER UPI Correspondent Radio Free Europe is a privately-supported organization that transmits Western "truth" behind the Iron Cur tain into Czechoslovakia, Hun gary, Poland, Bulgaria and Romania. In the course of attempting to answer Communist attacks with what it calls an "unvar nished picture" of the racial situation in the U.S. South, RFE sent two newsmen into Dixie for three weeks. Their interviews, and RFE "Com mentary" are being used for ' Cut if j eo out an'oosc the oh 6EHIN0 M6, Itt 66 OiTSfff.'' four half-hour programs broadcast from two transmit ters in West Germany and one in Portugal. A striking note about the complete 800 page transcript is that it skips reactions that are more conservative than middle-of-the-road. The agen cy's news chief, Horst Pezall, a native of Berlin, Germany, explains this way: Extremist Groups Bypassed "Members of extremist groups, such as the Black Muslims and the White Citi zens Council, were not inter viewed. The people of the countries we reach were get ting plenty of the extremist point of view from the Com munist propagandists." Here are samples of how the racial situation was re ported by Radio Free Europe: RFE Commentary: "There is a very real sense of opti mism among Negro leaders and complete cone ensus among whites . . . that the racial barriers that exist to day are certain to fall." Gov. Terry Sanford of North Carolina: "What is needed is a new emancipation proclamation from the bigot ry of the past ... the people of North Carolina are realiz ing it is simply not right and moral to deprive people of a chance to make the most of their abilities." Mayor Stanley R. Brook shire of Charlotte, N.C.: "The choice should not be too dif ficult if we admit in all hon esty that discrimination based on the color of a man's skin Meeting Scheduled By Area Cat Club Southern Oregon Cat club will hold Its next meeting Saturday, Aug. 24, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Robinson, 1215 East Main st., at 2 p.m. At the last meeting of the club conducted by Baxter Farster, president, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gilinsky, Central Point, a set of by-laws was accepted by the members and show plans were discussed. The club hopes to be able to put on a show in the early part of next year. Mrs. Farster, club secre tary, announced that she has been notified by the Ameri can Cat Fanciers association that three of her cats are in the nation's finals. Placing from the Farstcr's B and J Cattery was highest scoring inter American red paint Siamese, Madale's Red Luster.

Alma Denny. (Copyright bv General reaturet Corp.) Ellis D. I can't stand her picayune fussiness. Selma D. If not for me. we'd be in a constant mess. e Ellis D. There must be something wrong with my wife. Shes like a machine when it comes to the house every cup must have a han dle, every pipe of mine must be in its rack, every glass must be arranged in the right row. Many times she bawls me out for pushing one of her precious coffee mugs out of line. Isn't that a sickness? Selma D. The trouble with Ellis is he thinks it makes a home look cozy if it's sloppy. I try to show him what a difference it makes to keep things neat when they're not in use. I don't care how he throws papers around while he reads, but what's wrong with piling them straight when he's through? He'd rather squash them into full waste baskets. The Councili Over 2000 years ago the Latin poet Horace described "the golden mean," the just-right point be tween two opposite pulls. That's the point for which Ellis and Selma must reach. Right now his bull-headed lax ness Just reinforces her com pulsive "scrupulosity" (de fined as an "exaggerated con cern over trifles"). As with most disputes, there's a core of right on each side. Recog nizing it is halfway to peace. To Selma we say the general atmosphere of your home is more important than the bandbox look you aim for. Instead of yammering at Ellis to put things away, emphasize the joy (to him) of finding things where they should be when he wants them. To Ellis we suggest: 'Fess up. Isn't the uncluttered room more restful than the magpie's-ncst type? Details, the "little things," are important - be glad Selma watches them. One small letter, for example, makes all the difference be tween inducting a judge and indicting him, between hail ing and jailing him. And, of course, there was that nail for want of which . . . well, ask Selma. Is legally and morally wrong and economically unsound. RFE Commentary: "Most whites are bewildered by the suddenness and the force of the Negro drive for his civil rights. In general, it is the lower middle class and poor whites that are most bitterly opposed to granting the Negro equal status as an American citizen. . . "Negro leaders . . . deplore but accept the fact that these Southern business men are agreeing to the lift ing of racial barriers for eco nomic, not moral motives." Brought To Attention Mayor Ivan Allen of At lanta: 'There is no question but that the acuteness of ra cial demonstrations brought more forcefully to the atten tion of the American public the necessity for the elimina tion of some of the discrimi natory practices that were being exercised." Mayor William O. Cowger of Louisville, Ky.: "If you were to take a poll of the man in the street in most Southern cities I know of, you would find a lot more moderates than you will strong segrega tionists." RFE Commentary: "The as sassination of Medgar Evers (the Jackson Negro civil rights leader) so unified and hardened the Negro position that now there remains no real middle ground between the two races. There seems to be a fatalistic belief on both sides that a violent showdown is inevitable."
