July 1— Americana stand “ at the crossroads In race relations'*, »tales the report of the Department of Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches made public here today. One road leads to race and class conflict and violence; the other road to interracial understanding and goodwill through cooperative activity. “ Peaceful methods of adjustment through friendly contacts, through educa tional projects and through experiments in cooperative activity have grown Increasingly effective, with a growing conviction of the ultimate power of the Christian religion to solve race problems", declares the report. “ At the same time racial conflicts are becoming Increasingly acute. This has been partly dut to friction engendered by feelings dramatized in such movements as the Ku Klux Klan on the one hand and radical organizations on the other. — W e stand at the croearoads of adjust- justment In race relations.'* i In a graphic way this report de scribes the activities of the churches and allied agencies in the national movement for peaceful application of Christ’s ideals to the civic, economic and social relationships of racial groups in America, and views this — By— program as challenged by radical W IL L IA M T.
