Episcopalian Debate
On Ordination Rites
Collapses Abruptly
By Caspar Nannes
Star Staff Correspondent
BOSTON, Sept. 15. —Antici
pated debate between factions of
the Episcopal Church on certain
church practices fizzled out today
when the authors of resolutions
condemning participation of non-
Episcopal clergymen in Episcopal
ordination rites withdrew their
motions before discussions began.
Those withdrawing their resolu
tions were the Rev. Charles B.
Per sell, jr., of Albany, N. Y., the
Rev. Gordon E. Gillett of Quincy,
111., and Wilber G. Katz of Chi
caga
Each of the members of the
House of Clerical and Lay Depu
ties, declared they withdrew their
motions “in favor of peace and
harmony” within the church. Un
officially, numerous delegates
agreed that newspaper headlines
on the controversial issue were a
strong factor in forwarding the
action that was taken.
Motions Shouted Down.
Before the withdrawal took
place, a parliamentary snarl ap
peared imminent when motions
from the floor to go into execu
tive session were proposed. They
were shouted down and debate on
the question was opened when
the surprise move secured.
Expressing the sentiments of
the Washington delegation, the
Rev. Leland Stark, rector of
Epiphany Church who was sched
uled to speak against the resolu
tions, said there were several
reasons for the withdrawal.
“The respultions were aimed at
censuring certain evangelical
bishops,” Dr. Stark explained.
“They were more properly there
fore the pervue of the House of
Bishops, which had already re
ferred similar resolutions to one
of its committees. In my judg
ment these resoultions would have
been resoundingly defeated in the
House of Deputies. The authors .
have already hurt the unity of
our church by insisting on bring
ing them up.”
Amendment on Marriages.
A proposed amendment to Canon 1
16 of the church, hitting at the
marriage of Episcopalians with
Roman Catholics, .though that
faith was not mentioned, was in
troduced today.
The amendment declared it was <
“the duty of a member of this ,
church intending to marry a mem
ber of another religious body” not
to enter “into any pre-martial ,
agreement, as a condition of such \
marriage.” It stipulated that no ,
agreement should be made “that
the children of such intended
marriage shall be brought up in ,
the religious faith of any religious
body other than this church.” .
Resolutions to this effect have ;
been passed before, but this is
the first time a move to make
this view part of church law has
been introduced.
Bishop Dun Is Speaker.
Christians are sent into the :
world “to be a cleansing, light
bearing redemptive brotherhood i
because we take God with us,” the ]
Right Rev. Angus Dim, bishop of ;
Washington, declared yesterday. 1
Bishop Dun spoke at Grace Epis- i
copal Church, Medford, Mass.,
where his son, the Rev. Angus
Dun. jr., is rector.
“We are sent into the world— <
Into family life, the neighborhood,
the economic order, the world in 1
conflict—in penitent participation 1
and not in self-righteous judg- 1
ment,” Bishop Dun said.
A service honoring Washington
Cathedral was held yesterday in '
St. Paul’s Cathedral here. The i
Very Rev. Francis B. Sayre, jr., 1
dean of Washington Cathedral, 1
took part in the service, which <
was arranged by the Massachu- ;
setts Committee of the National :
Cathedral Association.
Address by Admiral Kirk.
Admiral Alan G. Kirk, U. S. N.,
retired, former Ambassador to
Russia, told a laymen’s holy com
munion breakfast in the Hotel
Statler yesterday that we “must
not make the mistake of under- ;
estimating the capacity of the
Soviet Union to do harm in the 1
world." 1
“Its leaders are liars and are
deceitful,” Admiral Kirk declared. 1
“But they are men, not super men, 1
and they are not unbeatable.” i

Korea Veterans Urged to Pick
Gl Bill Courses With Care
Veterans contemplating study
under the Korean GI Bill were
advised today to carefully pick
out their desired course and then
stick to it.
Rome Leandri, Washington re
gional office education chief,
stressed the point that the Korean
GI Bill, unlike that of the last
war, permits only one change in
course once study is undertaken.
Mr. Leandri advised Korean
vets to consult educators, busi
nessmen and professional people
for constructive advice before en
rolling. If they wish, those eligi
negotiate with them, the speaker
asserted “the threat that they
constitute must be met with a
certain amount of armed force.”
But he noted that since the
world must expect to live along
side communism for some time, it
must not be “truculent, quarrel
some and obstreperous—but let us
be firm, temperate, prudent and
moral.”
, Monroney Cites Example.
Senator Monroney, Democrat,
of Oklahoma told the gathering
he did not believe “the Almighty
will continue to bless any nation
that seeks for itself alone and
turns its back on responsibilities
to the rest of the world.”
He urged our country “to ele
vate instead of exploit” people in
the East, declaring that by doing
this “we can give to the world
the greatest example of all—
Christian leadership which may
set the pattern for international
relations for centuries to come.”

House Probers to Get
Long-Delayed Look at
Vote-Fraud Files
By th« Associated Press
House investigators today get a
chance to make their long-sought
examination of Justice Depart
ment files on the 1946 Kansas City
vote fraud case.
The Judiciary subcommittee
that has been hearing charges
against the department selected
Representative Bakewell, Repub
lican, of Missouri, to look over the
records. Mr. Bakewell wants to
find out if any high-ranking Jus
tice Department officials hampered
an FBI investigation of the theft
of ballots cast in Missouri’s pri
mary election that year.
The case stemmed from a Dem
ocratic primary race for Congress
between Representative Roger C.
Slaughter and Enos Axtell, the
latter backed by President Tru
man.
Irregularities Charged.
After Mr. Axtell won the pri
mary but lost the November elec
tion, the Kansas City Star charged
there were irregularities at the
primary election polls.
A grand jury went into session.
Contested ballots and other evi
dence were rounded up and placed
in a Kansas City courthouse safe.
On May 28, 1947, the Impounded
material was stolen from the safe.

Choice for President
To Be Major Decision
Os AFL Convention
By a Staff Correspondent of Hi* Star
NEW YORK. Sept. 15.—The
American Federation of Labor
opened its 71st annual convention
here today with the accent on
politics.
Both major presidential candi
dates will address the 750 dele
gates before the convention ends,
probably September 24. Gen.
Eisenhower is scheduled to make
his speech tomorrow at 11 am.
He will interrupt a long swing
through the Midwest for a flying
trip here.
Gov. Stevenson will address the
convention next Monday. It is
unprecedented for a labor meet
ing to get both major candidates
as speakers. It is an indication
of the rising influence of organ
ized labor in politics.
Last Indorsement in 1924.
Then, the AFL likely will give
its indorsement to a presidential
candidate for the second time in
Its long history. The convention
will decide September 24, the day
following the Stevenson speech,
whether to give its blessing to
either candidate, and if so, which
one it will be. The only other
time the AFL, as such, made sucla
an Indorsement was away back
in 1924. Then the federation
threw its support to the elder
Senator Robert La Follette’s Pro
gressive Party candidacy.
Before making a decision on an
indorsement, the AFL will weigh
not only what the two candidates
say here. It will weigh the Re-
Siublican and Democratic plat
orms, the records of the two can
didates and all of their remarks.
The debate may be long and
loud, but Gen. Eisenhower seems
to have the cards stacked against
liim. A great majority of the
AFL leaders are outspokenly on
the side of Gov. Stevenson. And
the labor bigshots already have
said the Republican platform
holds little for labor, while that
of the Democrats embodies most
of the national legislative pro
gram of the AFL.
Most of the labor bigshots are
lifelong Democrats and they see
no need for a change at this time.
The AFL here also will make up
its list of House. Senate and other
candidates for support. There also
will be a “blacklist” made up of
the “foes” of labor. Here the con
vention will accept the advice
of its political arm, Labor’s League
for Political Education.
An interesting political side
light is that Senator Morse, Re
publican, of Oregon, will address
the convention. An early rider of
the Eisenhower bandwagon, Sena
tor Morse has announced he had
cooled toward the general and
would not campaign for him.
The official word here was that
Senator Morse was extended an
llth-hour invitation to speak after
he had turned away from Gen.
Eisenhower. But it was reported
on good authority the Senator de
sired an opportunity to speak. His
address is being advertised here
as an answer to the Eisenhower
speech. He will talk Thursday or
Friday.
Controls to Be Discussed.
There will be other important
business before the convention.
The AFL’s national legislative pro
gram for the next year will be laid
out. There will be important deci
sions on wage, price controls,
housing and other matters of great
importance to labor.
The AFL’s membership was in
creased to 8,098,000 members, the
Executive Council reported on the
eve of the meeting. That is by
far the largest membership oh
record and about 250,000 over a
year ago.
Later a woman who offered to
give Federal officials evidence
about vote stealing was slain.
Mr. Bakewell has told reporters
he can’t understand why the FBI
hasn’t been able to collar the
thieves.
And the committee, headed by
Representative Chelf, Democrat,
of Kentucky, has been trying to
get the Justice Department to
open up its files on the case since
last March.

Lawyers Issue Blast
At Delays in Filling
Federal Judgeships
By the Associated Prats
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15.
The Nation’s lawyers were told
today that slowness in filling va
cant federal judgeships has re
sulted in “intolerable delays of
justice during the past three
years.”
The Federal Judiciary Commit
tee of the American Bar Associa
tion mentioned directly neither
President Truman—who has the
power to nominate Judges—nor
the Senate—which confirms the
nominations—in its blast at “the
appointing power.”
Time Lapses Traced.
However, in a report to the 75th
annual ABA convention opening
today, the committee traced time
lapses between the dates of va
cancies in wide sections of the
country and the dates of presi
dential nominations to fill them.
It concluded its report by quot
ing without comment from a June,
1952 resolution adopted by Fed
eral judges of the 9th Circuit
(West Coast, Hawaii and Alaska)
that “the impression has been cre
ated at the bar and with the public
that Federal judgeships are but a
part of the patronage of politi
cians.”
Instances Cited.
The committee concluded that:
“It is clear that Intolerable de
lays of justice during the past
three years have been directly at
tributable to the failure of the
appointing power to act with
promptness when vacancies have
occurred.”
Delays cited by the committee
were in the 3rd Delaware, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virgin Is
lands; 6th, Kentucky, Michigan,
Ohio, Tennessee; 7th, Illinois, In
diana, Wisconsin; Bth, Arkansas,
lowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Ne
braska, North Dakota, South Da
kota, and 9th, California, Nevada,
Arizona, Idaho. Montana, Wash
ington, Alaska, Hawaii Federal
Court circuits.
187,839 Schools in Use
Excluding nursery schools and
kindergartens, but including ele
mentary and secondary schools,
universities and colleges, and
schools for exceptional children,
both public and private, there are
more than 187,839 schools in the
continental United States.
