Methodist Meeting
In Kansas City
In Spotlight
(By STAFF Correspondent

Kansas City, Mo. - The
Met hodist Conference on
Christian Education which
met here from Nov. 90 to Dec.
5, brought more than four
hundred delegates to the city
including thirty Negroes. The con-
ference, which brought together
from all parts of the country ex-
ecutive secretaries, extension secre-
taries, presidents of conference
boards of education, professors of
religion and workers with adults,
youth and children, was held in the
Little Theater of the Municipal
Auditorium and the Hotel Presi-
dent. Throughout the week-long
conference, Negro Methodists were
integrated into the program and a
spirit of unity and fellowship per-
vaded the meetings. The Method
lists feel at home in Kansas City as

seen in the fact that only Lester
Granger, executive secretary of the
National Urban League, was al
lowed in the session room, and he
wasn't allowed to speak or even be
introduced to the body.
The corridors were packed with
newspapermen, uniOnists, commu-
nists, liberals, and so forth. Inside
also was the Ri. Rev. ]. Raymond
Campion, brilliant and militant
Brooklyn priest, who with Dan Bur-
ley in 1941 set up the meeting with
Larry S. MacPhail, then boss of the
Dodgers and at which many out
standing promises were made
none of which were kept.
There is sure to be some action
one way or the other on the ques-
ton of Negroes in the big leagues
this winter. Watch for it.

it was here that the three branches
of Methodism protestant, Meth
odist Episcopal and Methodist Epis-
copal, South held their uniting
conference in 1889.
Bishop Shaw Speaks
A bishop from each of the six
jurisdictions of the church spoke
on Thursday and Bishop Alexander
P. Shaw, of Baltimore, represent
ing the Central Jurisdiction, spoke
on the subject THE Significance of
Christian Education in the Solution
of Social Problems" Bishop Shaw's
address was we'll received and the
delegates from the floor asked that
it be put into printed form for dis
tribution.
Bishop Shaw pointed out that
true Christian Education teaches
that every one should be treated
fairly and justly regardless of race
or color. He declared that in the
matter of race relations eve talk
democracy, but act fascism."
The subject of race relations was
the topic of discussions in two COM
missions on Wednesday afternoon
and on Wednesday night the subject
was brought before the whole con-
ference. Two experts spoke on the
subject, then the meetings were
thrown open to discussion from the
floor. Delegates from various COM
munities told what had been done in
their localities to ease tensions and
improve relations between the
races.
Prejudice Is Misfortune
Robert B. Eleazar (white), en-
ployed by the Methodist Board of
Education as a special worker on
race relations, spoke on Develop
ing Christian Race Relations" He
pointed out that race prejudice is a
misfortune rather than a vice and
that the only way to combat it is to
dig it out at its root and expose all
of its rottenness. A long range
program of education beginning at
the earlier years is the only real
solution, he said.
Urge Races to Unite
He urged white Methodists and
Negro Methodists in every city to
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1943-12-10

get together, to become better ac-
quainted with each other and to
work comparatively on community
problems. He declared that Meth
odist unification had given Method
lists a peculiar opportunity to do
something about tensions.
Following Eleazar's address,
white and Negro delegates told of
instances where trouble had been
averted through cooperative effort.
Urge ActiOn-NOt Talk
At the Wednesday evening ses-
sion, delegates in the Adult group
expressed desire to "do something
rather than just talk" Upon the
motion of Rev. ]. C. Keegan (white)
of Coty, Wyo., the Adult workers
commission went on record sug-
costing that every effort possible
be made to house Negro delegates
in the downtown hotels during the
Methodist general conference to be-
held in the spring. The question
of housing was brought up by the
Rev. W. D. Lester of Kansas City,
Kansas.
Negro Delegates Prominent
Negro delegates were very promi-
nent in committee and conference
work. Rev. Howard A. Bailey of
Philadelphia, presided at one of the
sessions of the Commission of Ex-
ecutive Secretaries and Board Pres
idents and was elected vice presi-
dent of the Commission for next
years conference. Rev. Henry H.
Nichols, Philadelphia, was vice
president of the Youth Commission.
Rev. Clarence T. R. Nelson was the
representative of the Central Juris-
diction on the steering committee
of the commission of executive sec
retaries and board president and
was member of the Auditing Com
mittee composed of three men,
bers) of the conference. Dean
Robert Hayes, vice president of the
Adult Workers Commission, pre-
sided at the Wednesday afternoon
and evening sessions of the group.

The consensus was that Judge
Lands wouldn't have invited the
publishers committee in to talk if
the league owners hadn't had some
thing good one way or the other,
in mind. The thought persisted
even among such cynics as Joe
Cummiskey of PM, Charley Segar
Of the Mirror, Dick Mccain of the
Daily News, and others, that Lands
& Co. had finally found a group of
representative Negroes to whom
they could entrust the ball for a

individuals had been tampering

LESSONS are excluded the penalty

faithful, but on the public" and
that Congress should provide for
penalizi1g officers who fail to COM
ply with arraignment statutes-that
this is not up to the courts.
The rlue Of this decision is really
judicial legislation: for courts to
make law is arbitrary and outside
Of their functions" he concluded.
The justice said he spoke with due
regard for the Supreme Court and he
asserted he was entirely sympathetic
with the views that there should be
no third degree methods used in
dealing with prisoners.

McNabb decision, which has halted
Federal prosecutions all over the
country. Justice Stephens recalled
that il was responsible for the Court
of Appeals setting aside the convic-
ton OF James P. Mitchell. so-called
local society burglar" He explained
he had not participated in that de-
cision.
Justice Stephens said also that
in Federal courts the admissibility
of confession is passed on by the
presiding judge and afterward the
jury has an opportunity to decide
whether it was made voluntarily If
1t becomes = part OF the evidence.
In response to question by Repre-
sentative Towe, Republican. of New
Jersey, Justice Stephens said 1t was
his understanding the same condi-
tions prevailed generally in State
courts.

"Confessions should not be ex-
cluded for elements having no rela-
ton to their voluntariness," Justice
Stephens insisted
Representative Jennings, Republi-
can, Of Tennessee said it seemed to
him that oficers should have time
to make prima facie case before
arraignment-that otherwise crimes
could be committed almost with mn
punity.
Representative Hobbs said law
officers who mistreat prisoners can
be subjected to suit and that they
should be inexorably rooted out OF
service.
He also told the subcommittee
that flood of acquittals had fol-
lowed in the wake of the McNabh
decision and also cited the circum-
stances in the Mitchell case.
The subcommittee plans another
hearing Friday, when Attorney Gen

NEW YORK, Dec. IA formid-
able new threat to American bomb
ers over Germany was described to
the American Society Of Mechanical
Engineers today by 1t. Col. Nathan
iel F. Silbee of the Army Air Forces
intelligence division, Washington.
This threat is some new German
planes, and also few refitted old
planes, which can keep out Of range
Of the Americans 50-caliber guns,
and pour cannon shells into the
tight bomber formations.
It is this type of German plane,
also, he said, which tres the rocket
shells, projecting them from dis
tances out of range of the American
guns. The new ships are twin-en-
gine fighters and fighter -bombers.
They are especially the JU-88 and
the new ME-4l0. along with some
Of the older ME-11O planes.
They get in their deadliest work"
he said, ION the long-range mission
after our fighter escort has turned
back. The obvious answer to that
is one already we'll on the way up
extra long range drop tanks for our
Thunderbolts and Lightnings to en-
able them to go all the way"
Another defense measure which
the Americans have made their par
ticular job since April is bombing
the factories which make planes,
propellers and other parts The
United States Air Forces main drive
on these plants got under way in
late July.
Plane plants were damaged at
Bremen, Oschersleben, Kassel, War
nemunde, Marienburg, Anklam, 80
miles north of Berlin; Regensburg,
Wiener NeuStadt and Leipzig.
Col. Silsbee said it Is safe to say
that the Regensburg damage denied
the Germans at least 500 ME-109
planes. The Kassel attack cut FW-
100 planes by about 30 a month.
