working agreement" be reached
between the President and Con-
gress to keep legislators up to date
on basic foreign policy.
Senator Connally's disclosure
followed appointments of Re-
publicans John Sherman Cooper
of Kentucky and John Foster
Dulles of New York-both former
Senators-to advisory posts in the
State Department.
Senator Connally said he would
place his reorganization plan be-
fore the full Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, probably Tues
day. He said there was a good
reaction" from Senators who have
seen the plan.
1t would divide the committee
into eight sub-groups' to handle:
United Nations affairs, European
affairs, Far Eastern affairs, Amer
ican Republics affairs, Near East
ern and African affairs, economic
and social policy affairs. public
affairs. and State Department or
ganization. This pattern is SINH
lar to the division of responsible
tiles in the State Department
among assistant secretaries.
I'm view of the constantly in
creasing complexity of world af-
fairs" Senator Connally said. "it
seems highly desirable to organize
the committee in such a way as
to foster more extensive consulta.
tions between committee mem.
bers and responsible officers in the
State Department than has beer
possible heretofore"
Nothing Violent Anticipated"
In the past, the working rela.
tionship between the Senate anc
the State Department has beer
largely on a hit-o miss basis ir
policy making matters-with nc
constant liaison between Senators
and the department.
He said subcommittee on
State Department organization
would study the department with
view toward recommending
some reorganization. Nothing
violent is anticipated" Senator
Connaly said. But he added the
department has grown so in re-
cent years that some changes
might be helpful.
The committees membership
includes Democratic Senators
Connaly, Thomas of Utah, George,
of Georgia, Green, of Rhode
Island, Tydings, of Maryland

'Despotism' Charged
AS Christian Science
Church Withdraws
BY fhe Associoted Press

ROCHESTER. N. Y, April IS
The Fourth Church of Christ,
Scientist. here announced today
that it was severing its connec-
ton with the Christian Science
Mother Church in Boston.
In a resolution, the local church
said the action was its answer to
what it termed an increasingly
"despotic control on the part of
the Christian Science Board of
Directors in Boston. depriving the
individual branch churches of
many democratic rights" of self
government.
Ernest J. Brosang, chairman of
the Fourth Church's board of
directors. said copy of the reso-
luton was sent to the Mother
Church today by registered mail.
Long Dispute.
1t is believed here to be one
of the first. if not the first, in
stances of branch church's
withdrawal on administrative
grounds.
Leaders of Fourth Church in
dicated that the move climaxed
a dispute over policy that had
arisen occ9 sionally since the
death of Mary Baker Eddy.
founder of Christian Science, in
1910.
Mr.. Brosang declared:
I'VE are not hostile to, nor
fighting against, anything estab-
lished by Mrs. Eddy.
Cites The Manual.
'The issue is one of democracy
versus autocracy. Part of one
of the bylaws of the Manual
which Mrs. Eddy left for guidance
says:
In christian science, each
branch church shall be distinctly
democratic in its government, anc
no individual and no other church
shall interfere with it's affairs

many yesrs-that the board OF
directors in Boston has assumed
autocratic control at variance

Lucas Calls for End
OF Angry WrangIing
Over Foreign Policy
BY the Assoeiofed Press

CARBONDALE. H., April IS
Senator Lucas. Democrat, of Il
linois, called tonight for an end
to angry wrangling" over for
eign policy which he said has
"dismayed our allies and en-
couraged our enemies"
The Senate Democratic leader,
campaigning for reelection in
his home State. said the Nation
is "bewildered and astounded by
a series of savage attacks upon
the men who must bear the bur-
den Of guiding our foreign policy"
Without directly mentioning
Senator Mccarthy. Republican, OF
Wisconsin, and his charges that
the State Department is infested
with Communists, Senator Lucas
said some senators are trying to
make "scapegoats" out of Presi-
dent Truman and Secretary of
State Acheson because the Com
munists have overrun China.
These men have sought fol
spies or devils to explain the de-
feat Nationalist China suffered. >
he said. And some of these men
care little about the Generalissimo
(Chiang Kai-shek) and his poll
cies. They are using him to gain
political advantage"
Addressing a Democratic rally
here, Senator Lucas said:
1T is time for good Americans
to stop sniping at one another
to grant the sincerity and honesty
OF all decent men whether they
happen to be Republicans OF
Democrats or independents anc
to give our best energies to the
constructive programs we have
launched for the salvation of the
free world"
Earlier Senator Lucas suggested
in Washington that a working
agreement" be reached between
the President and Congress te
keep lawmakers abreast of foreign
policy decisions.
Blaming foreign policy attacks
on "a few rabid isolationists," the
maj jority leader said he will "stanc
or fall in this campaign upon the
long and consistent record l have
made in the Senate on foreign
policy" ...

Headless Bureau

When hard driving, imaginative Secretary for Air Stuart Symington changes desks to run the National Security Resources Board, he will find an outfit about as full of snap as a worn-out spring. On the books, the NSRB has the vital job of blueprinting civil defense, relo- eating industries, finding the most effective use of resources, and plan ming for regulating production, manpower, and government facil- ities in time of emergency.
 But. this all-important board has been both leaderless and kicked around by agencies that should be obeying it's orders.
 The military-controlled munitions board is now virtually independent The atomic commission has not turned over enough hard facts about atomic warfare to plan a realistic civil defense. And, the 0tIltldl OcINlCCS AullllllloIi dtAOiA does not want to give the board authority to plan the relocation of government.
 Inside reason why the NSRB takes such kicking around is tifat it has had no full-time boss. John Steelman, the eager professor and No. l White House aide, is the acting chairman. His method of op- eration was to take a quick peek at the board once week, see few officials on the run, and dash back across the street to the White House. During the coal strike and the Presidential junket to Key West the only way to reach Steel man was by telephone.
 Note-The kidnapping of the re- luctant Symington for this key post was neat double play by Secretary of Defense Johnson. Symington was the last remaining armed force se- cretary with an independent fol- lowing. He was too tough for John-

Congressional Sky-PiIOt

New Chaplain Bernard Braskamp is probably the first Chaplain in Congressional history who doesn't use a prepared script in delivering the opening prayer before the House of Representatives matter of fascination and pride to his boss, Speaker Sam Rayburn. When Ray burn recently comrlimented him on it, the Chaplain replied:
 "Mr. Speaker, can't pray sheer ely by reading something I have prepared That would be like telling i the good Lord: Look, Lord, ,-.thls is my prayer for tomorrow, so be ready for it. I. sit in my rocking chair at night until I have a men, tai outline of my next invoca- ton and, with his help, I always find the words to express it the next day"
 This doesn't mean, the Chaplain hastens to explain, that we should n't continue to exhort God by such beautiful entreaties as the Lords Prayer, But once in while I think he likes to hear from us off the cuff, so to speak"
 Reverend Braskamp, 63-year-old son of Dutch immigrants, gave up promising baseball career to en- ter the Presbyterian ministry. The late Harry Hopkins once carried his glove at Grinnell College, Iowa, when Grinnell had one of the best college hines in the west.
 Harry was one of the younger students and he used to carry my glove into the dining hall, ask ing for pointers on how to be a pitcher recalls the House Chap lain. T guess I wasn't much help, being a shortstop myself, but Har-' " wasn't cut out for baseball, after all. I guess I wasn't either"

More to Investigate

What Bradley said, summed up briefly, was that Russia won't have the industrial capacity nor the atomic stockpile to start a war for at least two years. However, he warned that Russia is bully nation and might get careless about whom she pushes around. He also refused to predict what Rus sia might do after two years.
 General Bradley also made other significant observations the public is entitled to know but which this column didn't have space to print in the story now being investigated. So here is some more for the in- vestigators to investigate.
 Sen. Burnet Maybank of South Carolina questioned Bradley sharp ly on whether the S13,000,000, ,000 budget was an absolute minimum.
 T certainly would hate to see the figure become any smaller" :" replied Bradley Then he declared flatly: This amount was determ- ined before we learned that Rus sia had the atomic bomb.'
 He assured, however, that he was willing to go along with Sl3,000,- 100000 budget for the sake Of ec- oonomy.
 Tn other words" suggested Mas sachusetts Sen. Leverett Salton- stall, "as a good citizen you believe we should live within our means.
 Yes, but I would like to qualify that" Bradley hesitated
 You don't want to qualify the good citizen part smiled Salton- stall.
 Then Bradley explained: The ev- entual strength of our country de- bends upon it's industrial capacity We must not destroy that by spending too much year to year. So if I came here recommending S30,- 000,O00,00O or S40,000, 100000 for de- fense, you should start searching for a new chairman of the joint chiefs of staff
 Tt is true that our rforces-ground air and navy-are not sufficient now to fight major war" Brad ley emphasized. Nor do we ex- pect to be sufficient for such a calamity by the end of fiscal year 1851" he continued. But I feel that we are going to achieve Che necessary forces to prevent dis astrous attack from crippling this nation. I also believe that we Will be able to win war if it comes.
 He predicted that this country's "mobilizatin base"-its indusrial po- enial, reserve forces, military ed ucation system-would win a wal if it is thrust upon us.'
 This is a risk that we take, solmenly added the chief of staff.

 So far the subcommittee suspects a certain Republican Senator of leaking the story to Pearson, brs I can assure the subcommittee that its chief suspect wasn't even pre- sent during Bradley's testimony.
 Meanwhile, this column serves notice that any time responsible official is misquoted on anything the public is entitled to know about the column will do it's best to get the true facts.
