Declaring that humanity must bring
true religion, regardless of faith or
creed, to its aid in solving the civiliza-
tion-shaking problems of today, a
young former Washington clergyman,
the Rev. John Carruthers, has re-
turned here to seek permanent estab-
lishment of a national open parish
for the discussion of world needs.
Within two short weeks he has
brought the open parish plan into
national prominence and today ex-
pressed the hope that it may lead
eventually to the establishment of a
national church foundation for re-
search In the field of religion in
world affairs and public relations.

ligion in the present national ad-

lieves, would be sound American

cation of religious capacities to the

unprepared again to face a national
emergency"

 He also urged that the grand jury submit written report, even if it should find that that there were no grounds for prosecution against any individuals.
 In ending his charge, the judge told the jurors that the conduct of your sessions is entirely in your hands," He warned them against making charges motivated by envy, hatred or malice" nor from love, fear or affection in the hope of reward"
