U. S. Churches Failing
To Solve Race Issues,
Yale Dean Declares
ty th» Aisociattd Inti
BUCK HILL PALLS. Pa., Dec.
13.—Churches have a lot of house
cleaning to do before they can call
themselves truly Christian with re
gard to the question of segrega
tion. the dean of the Yale Divinity
School says.
Dr. Liston P. Pope told a joint
session of the divisions of home
missions and Christian life and
work of the National Council of
Churches of Christ in the U. S. A.
yesterday:
“In a world struggle, what we do
to our neighbors at home has be-!
come as important for the outcome
as what we do to our enemies
abroad.”
He said the Nation must realize
quickly that Russia's proclama
tion of racial equality can be com- j
batted only by a better demon
stration of that equality here than
In Russia.
Russian Successes Cited.
He said Russia “has already all
but succeeded in convincing non
white peoples that she is their
champion against the imperialism
and chauvinism of the Western
powers. If Asia and Africa are
totally alienated from the Western
nations, we shall have lost a major
part of our struggle with Russia.”
Dr. Pope said race relations have
Improved in the United States, but
that religious groups have con
tinued segregation to a far greater
degree than have other types of
organizations.
He said that less than 1 per cent
of Christian congregations in the
United States have persons from
more than one racial group and
that the congregations are more
cegregated than in industry, com
merce. education, politics or sports.
Warn Against Hypocrisy.
Dr. Pope said the choice must
be between racial segregation on
the one hand and the findings of
science, democracy and Chris-i
tianity on the other, and if a
decision for the latter is much,
longer delayed, “the greatest
truths and faiths of our civiliza
tion must be rejected as error or
hypocrisy.”
Dillon S. M.ver, United States
commissioner for Indian affairs,
proposed a church-sponsored proj
ect for the Nation’s 400,000
American Indians similar to the
displaced persons program for
European refugees.
He said the Government is try
ing to encourage an Indian migra
tion from reservations to cities
and towns. To assist that move,
he said, the churches might well
furnish the kind of job and hous
ing assurances offered to Euro
pean refugees, in addition to pro
viding them with normal outlets
for recreational and community
activities.

Harrisonburg to Abandon
Steam Generating Plant
By the Associated Press
HARRISONBURG. Va„ Dec. IS.
—City council has voted to aban
don the municipal steam generat
ing plant south of here whPT
installation of additional Diesel
equipment is completed at the
city's Shenandoah River power
plant.
This recommendation was made
in an engineering report adopted
by council Tuesday night. The
report recommended that the
steam plant be kept on a stand-by
basis until the Diesel installation
is completed. With this comple
j tion the city will have four Diesel
! generators and an additional
power line to Harrisonburg.
Mayor Laurence Loewner op
posed adoption of the report and
said council had acted too hastily
and without due consideration.
Harvard to Drop German
From Roll of War Dead
■y *h« Anociatad Prut
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 13.—
Harvard. University took steps to
day to remove the name of a
German listed on the school’s
memorial plaque of World War H
dead.
The university said in a state
ment yesterday that “the inclusion
of the name of one alumnus who
served in the- German army was
an error and will be corrected.”
The German tfas Adolf Sann
wald, who attended the Harvard
divinity school in 1924 and 1925.
He was taken into the Nazi army
as a chaplain in January. 1942.
and was killed on the Russian
front on June 3, 1943.
Omitted from the memorial
plaque was the name of a more
famous epemy alumnus: Isoruku
Yamamoto, commander-in-chief
of the Japanese navy, reported
killed in naval action in the Pacific
in May, 1943.
He was a special student at
Harvard in 1919-20.

Eight Hours Saves Tea Planter
$16,800 in British Tax Fight
ly tho Associated Press
LONDON, Dec. 13.—A rich tea
planter from India got into a
$16,800 court tussle with the Brit
ish government yesterday over
how long is six months.
The court's decision: He es
capes paying the tax by eight
hours.
The tea planter, Scottish-born
John S. Wilkie, accordingly was
cleared of liability for a British
income tax of £6.000 < $16,800>
for the 1947-8 fiscal year.
Under British law, a stay of six
months or more makes a foreign
dweller a resident of the United
Kingdom and subject to taxes.
Mr. Wilkie contended he had
been in the country for exactly 182
days, 20 hours when he boarded
a plane for India in December,
'1947. He argued that since the
fiscal year ended in April, 1948,
!and 1948 was a leap year of 366
days, he would have had to stay
183 days to qualify as a resident.
The income tax people said no.
As far as the law is concerned,
a month is a lunar month of 28
days, 168 days is six months and
Mr. Wilkie would have to kitty up.
Justice Sir Terence Donovan
decided to approach the problem
from another angle.
"It appears,” said he, “that Mr.
Wilkie was non-resident for 183
days 4 hours—a total of 4.396
hours, or more than six months.
Against this, he was resident for
182 days 20 hours, or 4,388 hours.
“He was thus in England fewer
hours than he was away in 1947.
His appeal from the tax commis
sioners is therefore granted.”
Explosion af Gas Station
Injures Six in Milwaukee
By the Associated Press
MILWAUKEE. Dec. 13.—Six
persons were injured, one crit
ically, in an explosion which
ripped a section of a downtown
gasoline filling station and tire,
store yesterday.
Cause of the explosion in the
one-and-one-half story building
owned by the B. F. Goodrich Co.
was not determined by fire offi
cials.
Police said a gas company serv
iceman said the blast occurred
immediately after he lighted a
cigarette.
Police said the gas company
man, Casimir Chmielewski, 25, the
only one hurt critically, related
he had gone into the basement
to light a hot-water heater after
he and another gas worker had
made adjustments for conversion
to natural gas. Police said Mr.
Chmielewski told them the heater
flame went out after he light
ed it.
He lighted it again and while
watching to see that it kept burn
ing, he struck a match and lighted
a cigarette. The explosion fol
lowed, he said.
Canadian House Approves
$300 Million Seaway Plan
By th• Associated Press
OTTAWA, Dec. 13.—The St.
Lawrence Seaway—a 27-foot deep,
$300 million canal on the Cana
dian-American border that would
open the Great Lakes to ocean
shipping—won final approval last
night from Canada's House of
Commons.
The bill now goes to the Senate,
where passage is regarded as a
formality. Both major parties—
the ruling Liberals and the oppo
sition Progressive-Conservatives—
backed the bill in the House.
Under the bill, a crown company
will be set up to go ahead with
building the seaway even if the
United States does not co-operate.
The government hopes to have
the job going by 1953.
Canada and the United States
signed an agreement in 1941 for
joint development of the canal
and hydro-electric power. Con
gress has refused in almost every
session since to ratify the pact.
The House of Representatives
Public Works Committee shelved
the latest bill two months ago. but
renewed efforts for United States
ratification are expected in the
next session.
