Council of Churches Ends
With a Prayer,
A Promise,
And a Record
NEW DELHI Ub — The inter
national get-together of Christians
was over today with a prayer, a
promise, and a record.
The record of the 18-day Gen
ii eral Assembly of the World Coun
cil of Churches took up 6 Vi tons
g| of paper.
The prayer and promise were
g| couched in words uttered in uni
H son in closing devotions last night
p by churchmen of nearly every
nation.
I Planned for use in home con
gregations, especially in interde
nominational services, the text in
cluded this petition and pledge
to Christ:
“Together . . . we commit our
selves anew to bear witness to
Him among men. We offer our
selves to serve all men in love,
that love which he alone imparts.
“We accept afresh our calling
to make visible our unity in Him.
We pray for the gift of toe Holy
Spirit for our task.”
In its final business session, the
Assembly adapted a message to
the far-flung congregations of its
198 member denominations.
It said that amid sweeping tech
nological, political mid social
revolutions in modem life, there
are both new possibilities for good
and threats of destruction, and
adds:
"God is at work to opening pos
sibilities for mankind in our day.
He is at work even when the
.powers of evil rebel against him
and call down his judgment.”
U.S. delegates met to consider
repented criticism in some Quar
ters at home about toe admis
sion to the Council of the Rus
sian Orthodox Church, then is
sued a statement to American
churches.
Signed by Charles Parlin, New
York lawyer who is one of the
new Council presidents, it said
toe Russian church was engaged
in “heroic struggle” to restore its
country to a Christian status.
Noting the Russian church’s
survival through centuries of per
secution by successive Islam
powers, czars and atheistic Com
munism, the statement says Rus
sian churchmen do not challenge
their government’s political or
economic structure but adds:
"On toe issue of whether Rus
sia is to be an atheist or a Chris
tian nation, there is a headon
collision between church and
abate: On this issue no Russian
churchman has given any indica
tion that he was prepared to give
or compromise.
“On this issue an historic strug
gle currently goes on within Rus
sia.”

Khrushchev Claims
U.S. Is Boiling the
International Waters
MOSCOW —Premier Khrush
chev, speaking in tones of mingled
gaiety and gravity, told the U.S.
Ambassador today it was the
Americans who were boiling the
international waters and they
could calm them when they wish.
The statement was made in an
exchange at a reception given by
Finnish Ambassador Euro Wuori
to celebrate 44 years of Finnish
freedom.
The Soviet leader was in ex
cellent spirits when he came upon
Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson,
in a crowd at the Finnish Em
bassy. Khrushchev’s appearance
there was something of an ex
ception. He rarely attends such
receptions these days.
It was also a mark of distinc
tion for the Finns since he left
a supreme Soviet session to come
to the party.
Propose Cruise Liner
Passenger Service
Between Seattle - Alaska
SEATTLE UPi — Furchase-of two
cruise liners from the Caribbean
for service between Seattle fmd
Alaska was proposed yesterday by
the Seattle - Alaska Ferry Lines.
The ships are the Alcoa Clipper
and Alcoa Cavalier, now laid up
in Mobile, Ala.
Capt. R. Armitstead, president
of Seattle-Alasksa Ferry Lines, said
the Aluminum Co. of America has
the mips for sale at $930,000
apiece. They are comparatively
small ships, built In Oregon in
<1947 on the bulls of Victory ships.
With a 120 passengers a voyage,
Armltstead estimates the two
ships could carry 14,200 pas
sengers between Seattle and
Haines, Alaska, in a cruise 'sea
son extending from April through
October. He would like to operate
them on fares of $80 to $195 far
a one-way passage with sailings
from Seattle every Tuesday and
Friday.
Armitstead’s firm has given up
plans to convert two C-2 freight
ers for passenger service.
He said yesterday that Alcoa
liners offer the only remaining
hope his company has to pro
vide Seattle-Alaska service for the
World’s Fair. However, he said,
his company has yet to locate suf
ficient capital.
Unless he can “put the package
together” by year’s end, Armit
stead said, he will return to his
job as second mate and relief
chief mate for the Matson Lines.

Pair Waive Hearing
By Grand Jury
On Murder Charge
ANCHORAGE UP) — Terrence
Wayne Brady, 22, charged with
Gerald Lee Cox in the murder of
singer Rose Dawn, appeared in
Superior Court today to waive a
hearing of his case by the Grand
Jury and take a pauper’s oath
that would permit the court to
appoint a lawyer to represent
him.
The handcuffs he was wearing
made it impossible for him to ex
tend his right arm fully in taking
the oath.
Superior Court Judge Edward
Davis appointed attorney Gerald
Williams as Brady’s counsel and
told the defendant that he would
allow him to withdraw his Grand
Jury waiver if, after conferring
with his attorney, he desired to
do so.
Brady had written a letter to
Davis informing him he wished to
waive the right. The judge ex
plained to him today that he
needn’t waive the right, but Brady
emphasized that he wished to do
so.
Davis told Brady that he would
not accept a plea to the charges
against him uptil Brady had had
time to confer with Williams.
Brady is charged with first de
gree murder, assault with intent
to kill and armed robbery.
He and Cox are alleged to have
taken $258.74 in cash and $796.50
in checks from Robert Adams,
part-owner and bartender of the
210 Club, in an early morning
holdup last month. Miss Dawn was
fatally shot during the holdup.
Adams was shot and critically
injured but survived.
Brady was returned after the
proceeding today. He has been un
afble to raise $40,000 bond. Cox’
bond was set at $60,000.

dustry agreed today to equip all
new cars and trucks with anti-air
pollution devices starting with
the 1963 model year.
The action came less than four
months after Abraham iRibicoff,
Secretary of the Hearth, Educa
tion and Welfare Department,
told the industry to come up with
a voluntary solution or face con
gressional action.
The board of directors of the
Automobile Manufacturers Assn,
today recommended positive

U.N. Jet Fighters In
Action Over Katanga
ELISABETH VILLE, Katanga,
W) — Air forces went into action
today in the fighting between the
United Nations and Katanga.
The U.N. announced two of its
15 jets had destroyed a Katanga
jet and three other Katanga
planes in an aerial cannon attack
on Kolwezi base.
On the other side, a Katanga
plane—a bomber converted from
a German - made Dornier trans
port—raided the main Elisabeth
ville airport held by U.N. troops,
and dropped three bombs. A. U.N.
spokesman said there were no
serious casualties or damage.
It was the second day of fight
ing brought on by Katanga re
sistance to a U.N. manadate to
pacify the Congo. The U.S. Air
Force was cooperaiting with the
United Nations by giving trans
port assistance, bult Britain was
declaring the U.N. forces have no
right to impose a political solu
tion by force.
In any case, it was evident
that the U.N. Command, rein
forced with jets from Sweden,
India and other nations, was able
to make itself felt in the air this
time as it was unable to do in
September. At that time one or
two Katanga jets succeeded in
cowing some of the U.N. ground
forces.

Anchorage Police Chief
Claims Underwood Didn’t
Order Gambling Raids
ANCHORAGE UP) — Anchorage
Police Chief John Flanigan today
took issue with a report from Ju
neau which said Public Safety
Commissioner Martin Underwood
had ordered football pool gamb
ling raids here and in Fairbanks.
“The Commissioner must have
been misquoted or his statement
misinterpreted,” Flanigan stated.
“My department worked on the
gambling situation in Anchorage
for at least two weeks before in
viting the State Police to join us.
The invitation was extended after
we found that arrests would have
to be made outside the city al
though the violations occurred
within the city.
“We invited them to participate
as a courtesy because we have al
ways had a good working rela
tionship with them and wish to
continue it.
“Warrants had been obtained
by my officers, and the arrests
could have been made without
the aid of State Police.
“For several years, my depart
ment has investigated gambling
law violations in the city and we
will continue to do so — making
arrests whenever we find evi
dence of illegal gambling," Chief'
Flanigan concluded.

Project Mercury
Shot Scheduled
For Jan. 16
WASHINGTON <*> — The first
U.S. attempt to send a man into
orbit was scheduled today for
early January.
The postponement until after
the Christmas holidays was an
nounced by the space agency
which already has assigned astro
naut John H. Glenn Jr., for the
attempt to orbit a Mercury cap
sule.
At Cape Canaveral, unofficial
sources reported the shot has
been scheduled for Jan. 16. The
Washington announcement came
as a surprise to most persons
working on the program at the
Cape.
They reported checkouts of the
Atlas capsule and other phases of
the program were progressing
smoothly. They said, however,
that a push to achieve manned
orbit this year would have put
extreme pressure on everyone.
The general belief at the Cape
was that top NASA officials de
cided to relieve that pressure,
which might have affected suc
cess of the mission.
Circus Troupe Is
Dying Off like Fleas |
BRIGANTINE, N.J. W — TSw
r performers in John Torp’a Circus
1 have been dying off like flea*
c lately.
.Matter of fact, the performers
• in John Torp’s Circus are fleas.
- The little varmits live only four
• or five months, and they won’t
breed in cold weather.
So Torp, 29, a native of Den
mark, and his partner, Max Kit
son, left their headquarters here
yesterday with about 40 tiny per
formers, headed for wanner di
mates.
“Nationwide, there’s no short
age of fleas,” Torp said, “but
they’re hard to find here right
now.” -W ■'
Just any old flea can’t join the
circus. Cat and dog fleas, whidi
' will breed almost any place, won’t
do.
“What I want are the large
black, six-legged fleas — like you
find on people,” he said.
