say, practically unanimous"

the bell as "a war bell, a hunger
bell, a death bell"
But crowd of nearly a half
million Berliners jammed City
Hall Square and overflowed into
the by streets. Gen. Lucius D.

solemnly dedicated the resonant
bronze symbol, set in the 20O-foot
tower of West Berlins City Hall,

ITO resist aggression and
tyranny wherever they appear on
earth-that this world, under
God, shall have a new birth of
freedom"
Many of the people, who had
come by foot. bicycle, streetcar
and every other means to the first
ringing of the bell on U. N. Day,
Wept when they heard the bell.
Others heard it silently, and then
as the tones died away, broke
into loud applause.
East Berliners Attend.
Hundreds of East Berliners
came to the dedication from the
Soviet sector. A West Berlin po-
liceman commented: IF they
can't have freedom themselves,
they want to hear it ringing"
The lotion bells voice was re-
layed throughout the world by
more than 1000 radio stations
Many stations beamed the bells
ringing directly to the Soviet
bloc. The speeches which fol-
lowed were aimed at giving the
millions of oppressed and en-
slaved people a ray Of hope in
their struggle for freedom. The
program was recorded for re-
broadcast in the United States in
connection with the U. N. Day
observance.
Gen. Clay. once the American
military governor in Germany.

"of free nations and free men.
living and working together, at
peace" He said he hoped the
bell would sound a warning to op-
pressors and give confidence to
the enslaved.
Though parts of the world are
barricaded against it," Gen. Clay
said, Its voice cannot be kept out.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Oct. 13.
Recent rain-making work in
New Mexico has had a marked
effect on weather across the coun-
try. in the opinion of DR.. Irving
Langmuir.
DR.. Langmuir, consultant for
the Armed Forces Project Cirrus,
says a little silver -iodide smoke
was sent into the clouds weekly
over 10-month period. He be-
lieves it set off a chain of events
that included a drought in the
Southwest last spring.
DR.. Langmuir' described the
project yesterday at the closing
session of meeting of the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences.
He said there was a sort of
chain reaction to the cloud seed
ing in New Mexico, so that areas
more than a thousand miles away
experienced a rainfall "cycle. "
Week after week, he said. heavy
rain would fall on a given locality
on the same day of the week.
DR.. Langmuir said the project
caused so much rain in the Ohio
Valley last winter that the rain
makers cut down on their cloud
seeding to prevent floods.

The worlds business is the church's S
business and the church is OBJ
1igated "to seize the worlds con-
science" by making war ION the
evils that tear the human soul
apart" DR.. Paul Scherer of New
York, a professor at Union Theo-
logical Seminary. declared here
yesterday.
''No separation of church and
State can rid the church of that
burden" DR.. Scherer asserted.
"The confusion in the world is the
church'S business. I would rather
see the church confess it than try
to rationalize otherwise by a sec
ular morality"
DR.. Scherer spoke at the con-
Guiding session of the 17th bien-
nial convention of the United
Lutheran Church in America.
Suppression of Freedom.
The church is called on to speak
out on "the irresponsible use of
force. on the suppression of free
dom by hysterical witch hunts, on
race prejudice and segregation, "
the speaker declared. 1t is also
the church's concern to make
known its views on 1.-The economic
injustices that are sufficiently rife
in our capitalistic system as well
as on the perilS of socialism, and
the inherent threat of a COM
munism that always emergeS from
despair"
Clarence B. Noeltin of Evans

nominations Board of Social Mis-
sions, told the 600 delegates that
93.368. 1888, or ST per cent. of the
164 million people in the United
States and Canada are church
members. He urged that efforts
be made to bring as many as
possible of the remaining TO-
I 631,017 people in the church.
4 Many Are Inactive.
There is sharp difference be-
tween the baptized members and
the communing members in the
United Lutheran Church, the Rev.
Walter E. Book, pastor of Grace
and st. Paul's Lutheran Church,
New York, said. He pointed out
that while there are 1882 ,569 bap-
tized members, the communing
membership is only 954,973.
Mr.. Book also pointed out that
more than 100000 Lutherans are
inactive in church work.
These people have made them
selves spiritual displaced persons
by going off the active rolls"
