National Church Council President
On Christmas Visit to Alaska GIs
SEATTLE, tr»-^Thd Rev. Dr.<
Edwin T. Dahlberg, representa
tive of 40 million Protestants, left
Seattle Saturday for Anchorage.
He takes the greetings of home
to servicemen in Alaska.
Dr. Dahlberg, a Baptist pastor,
is the newly elected president of
the National Council of Churches.
Presidents of the National Coun
cil has been serving as “spiritual
ambassadors” of the churches at
home to men and chaplains in the
armed services for the past five
years.
As a major voice of Protestant
ism, Dr. Dahlberg left a -little ad
vice to Americans before he left.
“A major weakness of our for
eign policy is that we do not de
vote the same brains and energy
to nonmilitary pursuits for peace
as we do for armament develop
ment,” said Dr. Dahlberg.
He said the churches aim at be
ing the “nation’s conscience,” and
their concern is bringing a spirit
of “togetherness” in the world.
The minister said he believed
the nation would have better
chances of peace if it would con
centrate on self-help programs of
economic aid for needy nations
and work on better race relations.
“We lost more prestige because
of the Little Rock incident than
we did from Russia’s Sputnik,”
Dr. Dahlberg declared.
Dr. Dahlberg said this will be
the first Christmas away from his
wife in 39 years of marriage.
“Ever since I was a boy I have
wanted to see Alaska,” Dr. Dahl
berg said.

Leading Army chaplains joined
in greeting Dr. Dahlberg on his
arrival in Anchorage Saturday.
On hand to greet Dr. Dahlberg
at International Airport were Col.
Martin Pock, staff chaplain of the
Alaska Command, and Col. Lisle
Bartholomew, Alaska staff Army
chaplain.
