To Disagree Politically

By the Associated Press.

crat, of California dissented from
the majority of the Dies Committee

"name-calling in its criticism of
the Union for Democratic Action.
Representative Voorhis. in a one
man minority report, insisted on
the right of loyal American citizens
to disagree politically with a ma
jority of the Dies Committee with
out being branded as subversive and
un-American"
The majority had spoken Of de-
iiberate campaign to undermine
Congress in the minds of the people
and said the Union for Democratic
Action was composed chiefly Of
individuals who have been a signifi-
cant part of the interlocking direc-
torate of the Communist movement
In the United States"
Representative Voorhis declared
that there is not one person" con-
nected with the union where the
charge can be substantiated that
such person is a Communist"

Baptist Revival
Begins Sunday
IN Duranf
Missionary ToIks
On Sunday Night;
DR.. Powell Here

Revival services will begin Sunday
morning at the Durant Baptist church
and continue through September 80.
DR.. B. Frank Smith, pastor, will
bring the message at 1850 Sunday,
his subject being: "Slaves who wor-
shipped their Way to Freedom"
Sunday evening at eight, Miss
Auris Fender, who served several
years as a missionary in China and
who arrived in America recently af-
ter several months in a japanese
concentration camp, will speak of
her experiences in the Far East.
Monday DR.. Frank NJ. Powell, pas
tor of Calvary Baptist church. Tu-
pelo, will arrive and for ten days
will bring the messages each morn
ing and evening. The morning houl
will be announced later and evening
services will be at eight o'clock.
DIR. Powell was for many years
professor of Church History at the
Southern Baptist Theological Semi
nary, Louisville, KY, where the Du-
ran pastor as a student first made
his acquaintance. His background
of training and experience also in
cludes study both in America and
Europe, and his extensive travels give
him a grasp of present-day Christian
problems and challenges that make
his messages unusually interesting
and appealing. Both as a. preacher
and as a buoyant Christian Char
acter, his ministry in u midst will
be long remembered, and all who
hear him will be blessed. All Durant
people are cordially invited to all of
the services.
Miss Mamie Clark, director OF
church music, is arranging special
musical numbers for all the services,
and Miss Willie Martha Elmore will
serve as pianist.
