He laid his show-the-way cha)- lenge before representatives of 170 million Christians yesterday at a session of the Worki Council of Churches. It was greeted with applause.

In the audience were rep- Tresentatives of 163 denominations in 48 countries who are in the midst of a 17-day conference. Eisenhower spoke of a campaign for “‘a just and lasting peace,” and a G “T believe that you spiritual lead- ers of a great world organization, together with your brethren of oth- er faiths, can lead the way. “The goal should be nothing short of inviting every single per- son in every single country of the world who believes in the power of a Supreme Being to join in a mighty, simultaneous, intense act of faith. “That act of faith might take the form of a personal prayer by hundreds upon hundreds of millions delivered simultaneously and fer- vently for the devotion, wisdom and stamina to work unceasingly for a just and lasting peace.” The President, through most of his remarks was solemn in tone. The black academic robe he donned to receive an honorary de- gree of doctor of laws from North- western emphasized the gravity of his demeanor. The President, in one part of his speech, referred to religion as “a practical force in our affairs,” and invited churchmen to give gov- ernment “criticism in the light of religious ideals.” Methodist Bishop William C. Martin of Dallas, president of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA, told a newsman: “T thought it was a very forceful statement of the proper relation- ship of church and:state. Problems in the realm of economic and po- litical life can never be effectively solved until the decisions are made in an atmosphere created by Chris- tian faith and hope.” Prof. Adolph Keller of the Swiss Protestant Church Federation said it was “a great moment to hear such a statement,” and noted that Eisenhower had made a ‘“declara- tion of dependence on God.” Bishop Weston Henry Ste~-art of Jerusalem, a prelate of the Church of England in Jordan, said he was most impressed by the President’s Profession of faith, That was the President's state- ment that, “for a moment” he was speaking ‘‘as a privgte citizen, a single member ‘of one of the con- stituent bodies of this council of churches.” The Archbishop of Canterbury, primate of the Church of England, made this comment on Kigen- hower’s suggestion for a religious peace movement: “All such movements must be- gin from the bottom and not be laid on from the top.” An Alaskan brown bear ean weigh three-quarters of a ton.

Koslow, 18-year-old leader of the brutal foursome. He wept when confronted yesterday with the bat- tered, water-soaked body of a Neg- To victim and told detectives, “I feel sick.” It was Koslow who two days earlier had allegedly given police details of this slaying and other savage attacks of the night before. At that time he told them: venture for me.” One by one the four youths were brought onto a Brooklyn water- front pier to identify the body of Willard Menter, 34, who ran afoul of his killers in a Brooklyn park Monday night. Police knew nothing of the slay- ing until after the four youths were arrested early Tuesday on an as- sault complaint and told of beating a man, burning his feet with cig- arettes and throwing him into the East River. Police began dragging the river and yesterday recovered the body. An autopsy showed he drowned. Kowlow, lean and mustached, was the first to be shown the bruised and bloated figure stretched out on the pier. He turned pale and whimpered: “Yes, that’s the man. Take me away from here before I faint.” Brought to the scene next was husky Melvin Mittman, 17. His muscles bulged under tight dun- garees and polo shirt as he stood looking down on Menter’s corpse. In a strained and tearful voice he said he recognized the man. “Yes, yes, that’s the man. We threw him into the river.” Police reported only two days ago that Mittman had told them he liked to pummel the gang’s vic- tims “to see how hard I could hit.” Jerome Lieberman, 17, answered police questions grimly, but there were tears in his eyes. The last, 15-year-old Robert Trachtenberg, remarked: “That man wore brown pants. These are blue.” He glanced up at the stern eyes of policemen around him and quickly added, “I might be wrong, though. It was so dark.” “T think that’s the guy,” he then said. Menter’s body was identified by his brother. The man;-married and father of two, had worked in a Brooklyn factory and was last seen by his family Monday night. Police say they have learned of nine attacks by the'gang, including the death of Menter and another man, Rheinhold Ulrichson, a 43- year-old steeplejack. The four youths are being held without bail. Jane Powell Is Free To Remarry LOS ANGELES ™ — Actress Jane Powell has cleared the way for her announced marriage in October to auto dealer Pat Nerney, 3.

SHERIDAN, Ill. w — An Army lieutenant colonel goes on trial today before a general court-| martial on charges he collaborated with the Communists in a North Korean prison camp. Lt. Col. Harry Fleming, 46, of Racine, Wis., is the first American officer to f2ce a court-martial for behavior as a prisoper of war in Korea. The 5th Army said he is charged with violating the 95th and 96th Articles of War and the 133rd and 134th articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice—in essence, that he “wrongfully collaborated with the enemy and committed acts detrimental to fellow prisoners of war.” A prisoner for three years, Flem- ing was released in the exchange of prisoners last september. He was captured in October 1950 while serving with the military advisory group attached to the South Ko- rean 6th Infantry Division near the Yalu River. A previous court-martial in Washington convicted Cpl. Edward S. Dickenson of Crackers Neck, Va., of similar charges of collab- orating with the Communists while a POW and sentenced him to 10 years in prison. Similar charges are pending against another en- listed man. A board of inquiry of high of- ficers held hearings in Washington to determine whether Col. Frank Schwable, a Marine flier, was fit to continue leading troops after having made germ warfare broad- casts on Peiping radio. It decided his conduct was excusable on the grounds of mental torture. The 5th Army said Fleming’s trial would be in open court except for deliberation periods. A veteran of the Pacific war, Fleming was one of the officers who uncovered the Sunchon massa- cre in October 1950. He was wound- ed shortly before his capture by the Chinese Communists. He said after his return from Korea, ‘‘Before I was captured I disliked communism. Now I know why I dislike it. You might say I’m something of an authority.” * SALES; antenna * COMPLETE STOCK Complete TV Service 1955 Zenith, RCA, Motorola * ANTENNA INSTALLATIONS, featuring the FINCO 400SA, CHANNEL 4 YAGI and CHANNEL MASTER CHAMPION * COMPLETE, GUARANTEED TV SERVICE...
