National Religious Conference
Asks For End To Discrimination
CHICAGO (UPIWewish, Cath
olic and Protestant religious lead
ers, speaking with one voice,
called Thursday for an end to
racial discrimination because ill
was immoral and "an insult to
God."
In a historic united pica, the
religious leaders ended the four
day National Conference in Rcli
gion and Race with an "appeal
to conscience."
"Racism is our most serious1
domestic evil," they said. "We
must eradicate it with all dili
gence and speed."
They admitted churches and
synagogues "have been slow" to
enter the struggle for justice
And they also indicted all sections
of the country North, South, East
and West tor practicing scgrega
tion.
"We repent our failures and
ask the forgiveness of God, de
clared the statement adopted by
the 700 delegates to the confer
ence. "We ask also the forgive
ness of our brothers, whose rights i
we have ignored and whose dig
nity we have offended. '
We call upon all the American
people to work, to pray and to
act courageously in the cause ol
human equality and dignity while
there is still time to eliminate
racism permanently and (led
sively."
Adopts Specific Proposals
The conference backed up the
words with a program of specifics
that called for religious bodies to:
Help Negro families obtain
homes in all white neighborhoods.
Work for the "stabilization"
of changing neighborhoods in the
inner city.
Invest pension and endowment
funds in such projects as inter
racial housing developments that
will promote "equality of opportunity."
Insist that all contracts for
church construction or supplies in
clude a pledge of no job discrim
ination.
Arrange for opportunities for
whites and Negroes to meet on

blandly ignored him.
Verner was said to have
described Wu's remarks as "ob

Communist sources were quoted
as saying Wu's blast was an ap
parent rejection by Red China o
Premier Nikita Khrushchev's ap
peal two days ago for a mora

Wu was reported to have at
tacked Yugoslavia by name as a

Lenin.
Just as the Soviet bloc attacks
Albania when It means Red China

Fraud Probe
Seen Needed
By Elderly
WASHINGTON 'UPD-Sen. Pat
McNamara. D-Mich., said today
there may be a full-scale Senate
investigation into land frauds that
lie 6aid have fleeced elderly peo
ple of millions of dollars.
McNamara. chairman of the
special committee on aging, said
after a three-day hearing into
quackery as it affects the aged
uncovered such w idespread abuses
that the committee planned fur
ther investigations.
He said one aspect that needed
exploring further was the sale of
submarginal land, particularly in
western slates, to retired people
through misleading advertising.
Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz.,
said violations involving Ariiona
land had been particularly fla
grant and tlie committee should
call land promoters to testify.
Federal Trade Commission
Chairman Paul Rand Dixon told
the committee Thursday that the
FTC w as investigating advertising
that has led retired people to put
their lite savings into worthless
lots.
Dixon said the problem was of
national concern.
Much of tlie promotional lilera
lure is "highly deceptive" because
it does not give full details and

tions, he !.aid.
"Tlierc are unscrupulous opera

WASHINGTON (UPD- A spy
thriller could be rewritten into a
case of bad judgment if an Air
Force review board accepts the
plea of former Capt. Joseph P.
kauffman, 44.
The ex-officer is under a 20-
year prison sentence on charges
of providing military information
to tlie East German Communists.
According to George Lattimer,
Salt Lake City, former U.S. Court
of Appeals judge who represents
Kauffman in this appeal, it was
a case of "happenstance, mixed
up with stupidity.
Kauffman was convicted in
Germany last April 18 after a
court martial. The principal wit
ness against him was a German
Commiuiist defector named Gun
ther Maennel, 29, who appeared
in disguise.
Lattimer said Maennel wore a
false mustache, hair pieces and
stage make up, and looked like
a movie star. Tlie disguise was
imposed to protect him and his
family in East Germany, but Lat
timer claimed it also created an
atmosphere of intrigue prejudicial
to Ihe trial.
There were other mysterious
overtimes, Lattimer told the re
view board Thursday. These in
cluded a system for signalling
witness when they could or could
not answer questions, and wani
ng them when llicy got close to
classified information, he said.
Lattimer also said Kauflman's
home was "burglarized" four
times by Air Force investigators
and that he was shanghaied to
Germany when he could have had
a trial by jury in the United
Slates.
Kauffman. a bachelor, fell into!
German Communist hands while
vacationing in Europe. He was be
tween duty at Sondrestrom,
Greenland, and Castle Air Force
Base, Merced, Calif., when he
took a prohibited train for Berlin
His presence on the train was
a violation of Communist rules
and also of an Air Force regu
lation, under which he could have
gotten a two-year sentence. Lat
timer said he didn't know this un
til he was taken from the train
by two German agents.
The agents, Maennel and a man
identified as Hans Bergman, ques
tioned him for four days. He re
fused to give information to a
Soviet agent, Lattimer said, but
talked to Germans, who were
friendly, and visited them three
or four times after his release in
East Berlin.
Maennel, who defected to the
West a year later, testified that
information concerning Green
land that came from Kauffman
at the time was of no value. But
he said Kauffman agreed to gath
c4 military information and to re
turn with it to East Berlin this
year 1963.
A key point in dispute at the
rehearing was whether or not
Kauffman knew the Germans
were Communist agents before
his last meeting with them. The
review board is expected to re
turn a decision in three to six
weeks.

tion with the U.S. Supreme Court
Justice William O. Douglas ex
tended to Mai'ch 15 the deadline
for filing the petition with the
U.S. high court.
If tlie U. S. Supreme Court
grants a writ of certiorari, it as
sumes jurisdiction in the case
and w ill accept an appeal on Miss
Freeman's behalf.
Thus Miss Freeman's present
stay could extend for a year or
more depending on what action
the high court takes.
The stay came as a wave of
opposition to her execution began
lo swell.
The governor's office announced
that more than 40 letters a day
on the Freeman case were being
received. There has been a rash
of editorial comment and letters
to tne editors in newspapers
throughout the stale during the
past two weeks. Most opposed the
execution.
Miss Freeman, 21, was first;
scheduled to die Dec. 6.
A stay to Jan. 29 was granted
by tlie Jefferson County Circuit
Court at Madras so her attorneys
would have time to determine
whether to appeal to the U.S.

After Justice Douglas extended
the appeal deadline to March 15,
Miss Freeman's attorneys peti
tioned the Oregon court to stay
the scheduled Jan. 29 execution to
match the federal timetable.
Miss Freeman was convicted of,

Field Mice
Hike Noted
At Lakeview I
LAKEVIEW Field mice num-1
bers are definitely building up in
certain areas of Lake County,
according to a report by Bill
.Moser, county agent. Now is the
time to act as the pesky little
animal is capable of doing ex
tensive damage to alfalfa fields,
pastures, and native hay mea
dows, he said.
Once field mouse populations
build up enough to be easily no
ticed, they 'are capable of ex
ploding into large devastating
masses. The animals multiply
rapidly as they breed several
times a year, producing litters of
Irom six to 10 each.
Unless control measures are ex
ercised to slop mouse buildups.
Ihese small creatures can destroy
and damage many, acres of val
uable crops. Effective control
measures have been developed.
Through use of various poison
baits, field mice can be con
trolled. In certain areas of Lake
County field mice have been con
trolled through use of zinc phos
phide treated grain.
The zinc phosphide trealment
requires special mixing and the
material is difficult to obtain
Farmers and ranchers having
mouse problems should contact
the County Extension Office in
Lakeview for information about
mouse baits. The zinc phosphide
is not now available but can be
ordered through the office.
Moser said this is a good time
to take action against Ihe mice
because their food supply is lim
iled. As spring comes on and
crops begin to grow tlie mice
have an abundance of food, con
sequently It becomes difficult to
get them to take poison baits.
Space Germ
Danger Seen
By Scientist
LOS ANGELES IUPD-A sci
entist warned Thursday that it is
conceivable that microscopic life
forms from another planet could
cling to returning space craft and
destroy life on earth.
Dr. Soloman W. Golomb. of
California Institute of Technol
ogy, said a life form inadvertent
ly imported to earth might have
the capability of successfully
competing with earth forms for
the basic raw materials of life
"There's been a great deal of
thought given to preventing con
tamination of the moon and plan
ets during visits by earth space
vehicles, but an even greater
problem entirely overlooked is
what about microscopic organ
isms carried to the earth on re
turn flights."
Golomb, who spoke at the clos
ing day session of the ninth an
nual American Astionautical So
ciety, said there is little reason
to believe that alien life forms
woqld be more efficient than
earth forms in the struggle for
survival, but that it is a poten
tial danger that must be recog
nized.
Dr. Fred L. Whipple, vice prcs
ident of the society and director
of Smilhsonian Astrophysical Ob
servatory, voiced a grim possibil
ity that a meteor colliding with
the earth could trigger a nuclear
war.
"There is no way I know of
tracking a meteor," he said.
"There is no advance notice of
one crashing to the earth. No one
knows when the next one will hit.
We can only hope that when
it happens again someone will
not push the panic button and
launch a nuclear war."
"Twice in this century objects
big enough to look like nuclear
blasts hit this planet in 1903
in Siberia and in 1947 near Vladi
vostok i both in the Soviet Un
ion I."
