entitled Church, Community and
State, the Reports of the Oxford
and Malvern Conferences" deals
with the function of the church in
modern society and attempts to ire
late the discussion to the funda-
mental ideas of the Christian
churches on the nature of man and
society" The seminar is conducted
jointly by DR.. Eduard Heimanr, for
mer professor of economics at the
University of Hamburg, and DR..
Carl Mayer, former lecturer at the
University of Frankfurt.
Two additional courses are con-
Quoted by DR.. Mayer: Religion and
Society" and Sociology of Modern
Anti-Semitism."
A course entitled, "The Spiritual
Revolution of Our Time" is con-
Quoted by Prof. Harry A. Overstreet,
formerly head of the department of
philosophy and psychology of the
College OF the City Of New York and
president of the American Associ-
alton for Adult Education.
DR.. Swift, member of the New
Schools faculty council, told Re-
ligious News Service this week that
growing number of social scientists
acknowledge that no adequate study
OF society can be made without con-
Sidering the influence of religion.
DR.. Heiman, agreeing, pointed out
that In England many prominent
economists and churchmen argue
that the church must support large
scale social reforms If postwar Bri-
tain is to avoid either Communist or
Fascist revolution.
Recognition of religion by the
liberal, secular New School, regarded
as one OF the most socially progress
sive institutions of learning in the
country, recalls the statement made
recently by DR.. Eduard C. Lindeman
OF the New York School of Social
Work.
One of the Nations outstanding
social scientists, DR.. Lindeman de-
clared that there is definite back
to-religion" trend in the field of
social science. He said sociologists
are particularly impressed by the
trait of persistence" so common
among religious minded people.
Religion is the only force in the
world today capable of providing
individuals with the persistence
necessary to stand by their con-
victions despite all odds, he asserted.
"One need only look to Norway,
Holland and other occupied coun-
tries-and even Germany itself-for
confirmation of this religious per
sistence," he added.
What other fields of endeavor,
he asked, have produced such men
as Bishop Berggrav, Bishop Won
Galen and Pastor Niemoller?"

Scott Clears
Man Who Shot
Two Women

A Hennepin County jury took
only As minutes Monday to bring
in a verdict of not guilty against
Oscar Hayes, As years, 1125 En-
erson, who shot two women De-
cember 3.
Hayes was represented by Harry
L. Scott, veteran attorney, before
Judge Vince Day. Hayes was
charged with assault in the first
degree.
Victims of the shooting were
Mrs. Juanita Sims and Mrs. Alice
Hayes, his wife.
Mrs. Sims is still confined to
General Hospital. The court and
jury convened at the General Hos
pital to obtain Mrs. Sims testi-
mony because her condition, still
serious, would not permit her to
appear in court.
Mrs. Sims testified that Hayes
shot her deliberately during a
quarrel over the loss of some
money which she said was lost in
Hayes home.
A drinking party was in prog
ress at the Hayes home at the time
of the shooting.
Other testimony was from a
Louis Eats, cattle buyer, who was
in the house when the trouble oc-
Cured. He testified against Hayes.
The weapon used was an OLD
army rife.
John Gearty, Assistant County
Attorney, asked that the jury con-
vict Hayes. Scott, Hayes lawyer,
pleaded that his client shot in self
defense and that the shooting was
really accidental, caused by a
scuffle over the gun.
A crowded courtroom was
amazed at the verdict of the jury
because a conviction was expected.

EDITOR SAYS JAPAN NOT
FRIEND OF NEGROES

New York, N. Y.-apan is in
terested in Japan and "has no par
ticular love or interest in the
darker peoples of the EARTH" ac-
cording to DR.. Benjamin E. Mays,
president of Morehouse College,
Atlanta, Ca, in an article in The
Crisis magazine for May.
Writing under the title, "The
Negro and the Present War;" DR..
May states:
"a few years ago it was my
privilege to travel around the
world. talked with a good many
Japanese not only on that trip but
here in America, in college and uni
versity. One fact became clear to
me. japan has no particular love
or interest in the darker peoples of
the earth. Japan is for Japan. And
she will seek to suppress and does
suppress her darker brothers in the
same way as imperialistic white ma
tions. The idea that existed some
years back that Japan would be
the nation around which the darker
races of earth might rally and
look to for guidance is utter nom
sense. Japan is interested in
Japan. The American Negro there
fore need have no sympathy for
Japan. His destiny is in the United
States of America and his saliva
ton must be worked out here
where the ideals are democratic
and the religion is Christian"
