Church Conference
Seeks Security Within
Obligations 10 i. n.
By Casper Names
stor ssoff Correspondent

PITTSBURGH, Feb. Il. The
Conference on the Church and Eco
nomic Life was on record today as
fayoring security measures "ade-
Iquate to maintaining the well-being
of our people in accordance with our
obligations to the United Nations. +"
At the end of the three-day con-
ference sponsored by the Federal
Council of Churches of America,
Council President Charles P. Taft
of Cincinnati said the meeting has
succeeded beyond our hopes"
1--WE have set In motion a process
within the Protestant churches
which should in time lead to wide
spread study and discussion by
Christian laymen of the application
of their religious faith to the prob
lens they face in everyday living"
he said.
While many of the resolutions
were controversial and set of heated
debate, the conference unanimously
agreed Christian churches should
stand firmly for civilian and public
control Of the processes OF atomic
energy production"
Closed Shop Ban Defeated.
Two efforts to bring vote BAN
ming the closed shop" IN labor
unions were defeated. Spirited dis
cussion resulted from motion stat
ing that each person, under God,
has a right and duty to take his
share of the worlds work, and to
work at jobs which will enable him
to fulfill the true purposes of labor,
and the responsibility to work rests
with all segments of our society"
The conference agreed that since
profits are characteristic of a money
economy, they are defensible. But
the thought was added that Chris
tians must be actuated more large
ly by a service motive than by
profit motive"
Among the resolutions that pro-
duced sharp differences Of opinion
was one insisting that society can
not tolerate" monopolies in business
or labor. Efforts to have the word
labor" removed from the declara-
ton failed as did a suggestion that
society cannot tolerate "the concen-
tration of wealth"
Resolutions Adopted.
Other resolutions adopted by the
group, two-thirds of whom were lay
men, included:
A program working toward an
economy providing an assured ade-
quate annual income for every fam
ily."
A motion asking for equal and
unsegregated opportunity for all,
including members of racial and
other minority groups" with regard
to work.
The assertion that economic
groups should have the right to Or
ganize, provided only that their pur-
poses and activities do not contra
vene the welfare of the entire COM
munity."
A motion calling on churches not
to make use of properties on which
there are racial restrictions.
A statement that property is held
in "trusteeship under God" and that
further experiments should be made,
where public regulations is diff
cult, to study forms Of private, CO.
operative and public ownership"
Following the final session, Civil
Service Commissioner Arthur s.
Fleming Of Washington summarized
the achievements of the conference
at worship service. He urged the
delegates to initiate similar meet
ings among members of their
churches
