ering Of church elders adopted
strong resolutions demanding equal
ity for Africans and requesting that
natives be given increased RESPONSE
bilities on town, city and provincial
councils and in Parliament. Assert
ing that the true interests of the
white and black races In South
Africa do not conflict, the confer
ence declared it to be contrary to
Christian principles for one race to
hold another in permanent in
feriority or discrimination. In ad-
dition, the conference called for
living wage, adequate housing and
health services for all groups, and
educational facilities for all races
One OF the most remarkable
addresses at the conference was
made by minister of the Dutch
Reformed Church from Capetown,
who said that a Christian social
order for South Africa would pro-
gressively share its civilizat ton with
the "un-civiliZed." He added that
any form of government which
denies full liberty of rights of COM
mon citizenship to any of its citi-
zens or which suppresses or dis
regards individuality, is Chris
tian and not suitable to establish
or promote a Christian order in
South Africa
Coming from representative of
the Dutch Reformed Church, these
statements are reported to have
created a bombshell. The Dutch
Reformed Church In South Africa
is said to be extremely conservative
on social. political. economic and
racial problems.
Indian Christians.
Christian leaders in India and
Great Britain intensified their
efforts this week for a settlement
of the Indian conflict. The ALL
India Christian Council. which in
cludes distinguished Indian Chris
tians taking an active interest in
social and political issues, appealed
for immediate new negotiations be-
| tween Indian leaders and the
British government. The council
said the situation demands new
approach from both London and
Delhi" The appeal was issued
through the Indian conciliation
group in London, which includes
outstanding leaders such as DR.. Will
liam Patton, British secretary OF the
World Council OF Churches; DR.
Maude Royden, noted WON n
preacher, and Carl Heath, prom
inent Quaker
But meanwhile, the British re-
ligious press, although not un-
critical of the governments past
attitude, in general condemned Mo-
handas X. Gandhi and the Indian
Congress.
From Latin America came the
news that Costa Rica has repealed
anti-clerical laws passed more than
a half century ago The laws
prohibited monastic orders and re-
ligious communities and barred the
clergy from ''meddling in" or "oppo-
sition to" the direction of education
in government-supported schools.
The decree abolishing the anti
clerical laws will go into effect
two months after the termination
Of the present state OF war.

church and parish house for the
workers OF the Glenn l.. Martin
Co., airplane manufacturers, 1T
was annonced this week. The
church will minister to the entire
housing area of this war plant In
Baltimore. n-Episcopalians liv-
ing in the section may become ac-
tive members of the church without
withdrawing from membership in
their own communions. If a serv-
ice of any special denomination is
desired, a minister OF that denomin-
alton will be called in to officiate.
The plan has the support of the
Maryland Council of Churches and
Christian Education.
The development is regarded as
significant in view Of the fact that
church leaders consider Baltimore
the guinea pig" In efforts to meet
the problem OF ministering to swell
ing populations In rapidly growing
war industry centers. Religious
leaders concede that this problem
has overwhelmed the churches, and
although good work is being done
in many areas, by and large the
situation is being inadequately met.
The most promising venture is
said to be taking place in the Balti-
more area under the auspices of the
Maryland Council of Churches and
Christian Education, with the sup
port of the Home Missions Council
Of North America. A chaplain for
defense housing areas" has been
appointed to serve $4,000 war
workers. The chaplain assigns re-
sponsibility to various denomina-
tions who agree to minister to war
workers of their denomination
within the territory.
The proposed Episcopal church
Is believed to be the first new church
structure which will serve war work.
ers. Other denominations may fol-
low suit. Up to the present church
services and Sunday school classes
have been held mainly in recreation
halls of housing units and trailer
camps.

Holdings of Roman Catholics and
Baptists, running into several mil
lion dollars, will be most affected.
When the plan Is announced. relig-
ious groups will have to take the
case to court, II they intend to pro-
test the assessments, as they most
likely will. In their favor will be
past decisions of the Kentucky Court
of Appeals.
Therefore, lawyers indicate that
the city won't be able to carry the
plan through. But they also say
that such precedent was established
years ago and the Court of Appeals
may have a more modern view. Also
they say, former cases were poorly
prepared by municipalities seeking
to tax church property.
In Washington. D. c., hearings
were held this week on bill intro
duced by Senator Pat McCarran OF
Nevada to exempt from taxation re-
ligious and other properties recently
returned to the Washington tax
rolls. Under the terms of the bill
approximately half of the property
recently declared taxable would be
restored to exemption. A companion
bill, introduced by Representative
John F. Hunter of Ohio is now
pending in the House.
Whatever legislation Is adopted
by Congress is likely to affect the

various States. During the past
| few years the issue has come be-
fore the supreme authorities in
several States. The general trend
of the courts and State executives
has been In favor of tax against
certain types of property owned

| Michigan Tax.
During September, 1899, the At
torney General OF Michigan ruled
that a church is subject to real
estate taxes If it leases a part OF Its
building for purposes other than
public worship. During June, 1910
the North Carolina Supreme Court
ruled that churches and religious
groups are subject to taxation II
property they owned produced rev.
enue in competition with private
enterprise. And the deputy attor-
ney general of Colorado declared In
a formal opinion last December ths>

trail of bogus checks through sew
eral Montana counties, Thursday

made a loop of the state leaving
them at Billings, Butte, Miles City
Culbertson, Scobey, Malta, Helena,
Missoula, Shelby and several other
places .
The first group of checks to ap-
pear was stolen from the Sorby
Implement company at CulbertSon
and were drawn On the Culbertson
State bank. The next group was
drawn on checks stolen from the
Equity Cooperation Oil associa-
ton at Wolf Point. The checks
carried the names of the concerns
on them and were easily caShed.
Murphy usually represented him
self as a farm laborer and always
said that he lad just come in from
a well-known ranch in the vicinity
Of the location where he was pass
ing the checks.
Murphy left the state early in the
spring and passed several bad
checks in many Washington towns.
He was traced there by police
through correspondents he was
carrying on with a business con-
Germ here and was arrested in Sc
attic May G..
His arrest was made On the
strength of information and photo
graphs sent to Washington by police
here. He was extradited by Toole
