Metropolitan Sergei,
Russian Orthodox
Leader, Dies at 78
Ry the Associated Press.

MOSCOW, May 16.-The body OF
Metropolitan Sergei, patriarch Of
Moscow and all Russia, who died
of brain hemorrhage yesterday at
the age of 78, lay in state today at
the Boygyavlensky Cathedral. Burial
will be Thursday.
His successor as spiritual leader
of l00,000,000 Orthodox Russian
Christians is expected to be Nikolai
Metropolitan of Kiev and Galicia
who is serving on the State Com
mission for the Investigation of
German Atrocities.
The announcement of the death
of the metropolitan, who led the
Russian Orthodox Church to recon-
Citation with the Soviet state, was
published in black borders on the
front pages of the Soviet press. The
first solemn funeral service was Gel
ebrated this morning at the patri-
archaic with a choir singing 'Eter-
nal Memory"
Sergei was born Ivan Nikolaievich
Stragorovsky, the son of priest at
the town of ArZamas near Cork
He devoted his entire life to the
church serving as a missionary to
Japan, rector of theological school
and as Bishop in Finland. AS metro
politan of Moscow he became acting
patriarch in 1925 after the Bolshevik
revolution. He headed the church
during the long period of estrange-
ment from the Soviet state.
Immediately after the German
invasion, Sergei threw the support
of the church into the war effort
and held special services of prayer
for victory of Russian arms.
The cooperation of the church
in the war led to a meeting of
Sergei and Premier Stain and the
the convocation of the Congress OF
Bishops last September, which re-
vived the holy synod and elected
Sergei patriarch.
The patriarch drew worldwide
attention on April 7 when he chal-
lenged the position of the Roman
Catholic Pope as the vicar of Christ
In an article entitled "Is There q
Vicar of Christ on Earth?," pub
lished in the Journal of the Moscow
Patriarchate, he cited biblical texts
and drew a conclusion in the mega
tive.
Reafflrming the traditional prin.
ciples of the Russian Orthodox
Church, the article opposed the
pontiff's authority, adding that il
was conceivable there might be g
General authority to administer &C.
clesiastical activities, or that a union
of churches might beformer about
leader, such as council president
chosen from among biships of world
capitals.

Publisher Urges U. 5.
To Bury Prejudice and
Uphold Allied Unity
BY the Associated Press.

by lne Associated Press.
DETROIT, May l6.-John S.
Knight, publisher of Knight News
papers, Inc. and president of the
American Society of Newspaper
Editors. yesterday urged Americans.
in a speech before the Detroit Eco
nomic Club, to bury prejudice and
by straight thinking encourage COM
plete understanding among the
United Nations.
Mr.. Knight. who returned to the
United States recently after 10
in London as haison officer
for the United States Once of Gen.
sorship, voiced regret that 1914, with
its vital military program, was also
a political year with the possibility
of seeming discords that could be
seized upon by Axis propagandists.
MY plea" he said, lis that we
devote all our energies to winning
the war. Let there be criticism
wherever deserved-vigorous, healthy
criticism. But. there is no early ex-
cuse for spreading discord among
the Allied Nations or 10 creating
unnecessary suspicious that will
stand in the way of postwar settle
ments and agreements that are gen.
orally satisfactory"
Mr.. Knight chided fellow editors,
some OF whom he said were impa-
tient for fixed formulas on issues
which are still developing.
"One might think that their sole
aim in life was to stir up hatred and
distrust between the United States
and England" he declared
Il don't pretend to say that Amer
leans and British are in complete
accord on postwar trade, air bases
and aviation, the French Committee
in North Africa, or even the correct
manner nwhich to deal with Uncle
Joe. -... .,.5
Our trouble is that we talk too
much about problems we don't
understand. We must not forget it
is combined operation and final
plans come from the combined judg-
ment OF military and other leaders" )"
