Clergyman Dies

DETROIT, March ID -(Pl--
DR.. Merton S. Rice, forceful and
picturesque preacher who help
ed 10 build the Metropolitan
Methodist Church of Detroit in
to one of the largest pastorateS
in the country, died at his home
last night.
Seventy years old, DR.. Rice
h a d served the Metropolitan
Methodist Church for 80 years
during which time the congre-
cation grew from about 200
members TO more than 1000 and
he became nationally known. i,
The firm jaWed clergyman,
who liked to be known as
Mike" suffered a heart attack
five days ago. His death was a
surprise, however, since his con-
dition had improved to the point
where he had been expected to
return TO the pulpit soon.
DR.. Rice, Kansas born son OF
a circuit rider, was a law grad
uate of the University Of Mich
igan. Ultimately, however, he
chose his fathers calling, rode
the circuit himself in Kansas,
and came here in 1913 from
Duluth, MINI.
He came to the Metropolitan
Methodist Church on assignment
as pastor. The growth of the
church was such that within six
years additional pastoral serv-
ices were required. DR.. Rice, at
h S suggestion, continued as
preacher" and the Rev. Char
les B. Allen, D. D., became pas
tor.
DR.. Rice was prominent with
the Masons and was a member
of the Board of Directors of the
Rotary Club. He also belonged
to several other organizations.
Surviving are the W d o w,
three sons and two daughters.
Funeral services were being

Carroll charged during floor
debate that Detroit is attempting
to build its airport in Warren
township in order not to take
any Wayne county property off
the tax rolls. He said that, under
such an arrangement, Wayne
county would benefit from in
creased values of land adjacent
to the development while War

able values.
He charged that Mayor Ed

Intergovernmental Committee on
Refugees would be one of the re-
suits of the conference. Spain,
Portugal and Turkey are expected
to be among the additional nations
participating in the organization,
which was formed at Evian,
France, in 1888, with the partici-
patton of 81 governments.
The executive committee of the
organizations will be broadened,
and paid administrators will be
employed. T lie committee will
then, it is understood, be entrust-
ed with the task of putting into
effect whatever concrete proposals
for the aid of refugees the Anglo
American Conference has recon-
mended. It is believed that the
committee will begin operating at
an early date.
The members of the American
delegation were: DR.. Harold w.
Dodds, president of Princeton Uni
versity, chairman; Chairman Sol
Bloom of the House Foreign At
fairs Committee, and Senator
Scott w. Lucas of Illinois. Adj
visors were George Warren, exec
utive secretary Of the Presidents
Advisory Committee on Refugees,
and George Backer, former pub
Usher of the New York Post and
leader in Jewish affairs.
The British delegation consist
ed of Richard K. Law of the For
eign Office; Osbert Paeke, Home
Office, and Charles Hall, Admir-
atty.

ties"
The recommendations must re-
main confidential" the declara-
ton explained, since they "neces-
sarily concern governments other
than those represented at the Ber-
muda Conference and involve mill
tary considerations" Recommen-
dations were included for a "flex-
ible" intergovernmental organiza-
ton to deal with the refugee
problem in period ahead. The
text of the joint declaration reads:
1.-THE United States and the
United Kingdom delegations ex-
amined the refugee problem in all
it's aspects, including the position
of those potential refugees who
are still in the grip of the Axis
powers without any immediate
prospects of escape. Nothing was
excluded. from their analysis, and
everything that held out any pos
sibility, however remote, of a So
luton of the problem was care
fully and thoroughly discussed.
Explains Why Some Proposals
Rejected
"From the outset it was real
lied that any recommendations
that the delegates could make to
their governments must pass two
tests: Would any recommends
ton submitted interfere with OF
delay the war effort of the United
Nations? And was the recon-
mendation capable of accomplish
ment under war conditions? The
delegates at Bermuda felt bound
to reject certain proposals which
were not capable of meeting these
tests.
"The delegates were able to a.
gree on number of concrete
recommendations which they are
jointly submitting to their gov
ernments and which, it is felt.
will pass the tests set forth above,
and which will lead to the relief
of a substantial number of refu-
gees of all races and nationalities.
Since the recommendations neces-
sarily concern governments other
than those represented at the
Bermuda Conference and involve
military considerations, they must
remain confidential. It may be
said, however, that in the course
of discussion the refugee problem
was broken down into its main
elements.
Questions of shipping, food and
supply were fully investigated
The delegates also agreed on rec
concentrations regarding the form
of intergovernmental organiza-
ton which was best fitted in their
opinion to handle the problem in
the future. This organization
would have to be flexible enough
to permit it to consider without
prejudice any new factors that
might come to it's attention.
'In each of these fields the del
egates were able to submit agreed
proposals for the consideration of
their respective governments"

adjournment, that an enlarged

would give the miners approx
mately ST day more.
Unofflcially, it was reported that
the operators had sounded out Gov
ernment officials on the prospects of
getting a coal price rise in the event
they agreed to substantial pay
boost for the miners. Whether
these feelers actually reached high
quarters or how they were received
could not be confirmed.
Some sources said, however, that
this approach was of prime interest
to operators who had divergent
financial lntereStS-steel, railroads
and other industries, in addition to
coal. They were represented as feel
ing that a wage concession in the
mines would have to be matched
sooner or later in their other pur-
suits
Mr.. Lewis was reported by a
trustworthy miner source as refus-
ing to bulge from his original de-
mand of 81 day increase. This
represents compensation for 80
minutes travel time a day at time
and half rates. The operators had
offered to pay for 48 minutes, about
1.20, as basis of settlement, but
whether this was revised in any way
during the last-minute conferences
could not be ascertained.
Although the walkouts affected
the anthracite area as we'll, the
stalemated negotiations applied only
to the soft coal wage dispute. A
union source said. in fact, that ne
gotta tons with the hard coal op-
orators were tentatively scheduled to
resume in New York tomorrow.
Remission of Fines Provided.
The Solid Fuels Office, mean
while, said Mr.. Ickes had provided
for remission of miners fines for
absences from May when the
Government took over the shafts
through May 25. but for collection
of fines for absences after that date
under provisions of the contracts"
Spokesmen said Mr.. Ickes' inStruc-
tionS to mine managers stipulated
the remissions should be granted
only when the union waived it's
right under the contract to penalize
operators who fail to collect fines
from absent miners.
Whether the fines would be COL
lected for absences during the cur
rent stoppage could not be ascer-
tanned. The UNIV contends that
there has been no contract since
last midnight, but the War Labor
Board has ordered extension of the
old contract Indefinitely until a new
contract is signed. Solid Fuels
spokesmen declined to state any
position on the question.

Then it skidded about $50 yards, cut
