Bevin Sees Civil War
Move in Police Force

LONDON, May Is (P.-British
Foreign Secretary Bevin declared
yesterday that the 50.000-man po-
lice force which the Western Al
lies say Russia is militarizing in
East Germany might be used to
foment a German civil war.
Speaking in the House of Com
mons, he said:
THE development there is sig
niflcant. 1t may not be a chal-
lenge to us directly but it may be
an attempt to use these forces in
a very brutal civil war. and we
have to watch that extremely
carefully.
IT thought the Russians were
going to start more than they did
when the Berlin blockade began.
Now they have restudied the
problem, I suppose, and are trying
to create new tactics and new
methods.

BOSTON. Mass. May 25.-The
Northern Baptist convention today
voted to postpone indefinitely any
vote on merger with the Disciples
of Christ.
Overtures between the two de-
nominations looking forward TO
union had set 1854 as a date for
a vote.
However. today's resolution said
the interests of good will between
BaptiSts and Disciples as well as
harmony within our own ranks
can best be furthered by dropping
the time schedule and considera-
ton leading to a specific voting
and plan of union in 1854. leaving
developments in the future to the
guidance of the holy spirit"
The Rev. DR.. Hillyer Straton of
Maiden. Mass. commission chair
man for the Northern Baptists,
said the vote was not a retreat
but merely a change in tactics" :"
The Northern Baptist conven-
ton has is million members and
the Disciples Of Christ 1T million
members. The Disciples of Christ
left the Baptist denomination in
1929. after being with them for
the preceding 20 years, over a
doctrinal dispute.
A budget for l950-1 of $780,
ia was adopted by the conyen-
ton today. Of this amount S.
72l.410 will be raised from
churches and individuals and ST.
844,704 from other sources.
DR.. Straton told the convention
that work in common has been
done by the two denominations in
the last year.
He listed pulpit exchanges by
Northern Baptist and Disciples
ministers. publication of a COM
mon hymnal and devotional
booklet, and a proposed joint con-
ference to be held July sill at
Green Lake. Wis, among the steps
leading to mutual understanding.
A historic step was taken yester-
day when the convention voted
overwhelmingly to change its
name from the Northern Baptist
Convention to the American Bap-
tist Convention. The new name
will become legal upon the filing
of a certificate of a change of
name in the Office of the Secretary
Of State, New York, where the con-
vention is incorporated.
The conventions Commission of
Review. which brought in the
recommendation, pointed out that
many of the missionary and other
societies within the denomination
have borne the name American"
for many years.
Other Groups Named.
Among them are the American
Baptist Foreign Mission Society,
the American Baptist Publication
Society and the American Baptist
Historical Society. The report
was presented by c. w. Tiller,
commission secretary, a member
of Calvary Baptist Church, Wash
ington.
The Northern Baptist Conven-
ton was organized in Calvary
Church, Washington, on May 16.
1907, with the late Supreme Court
Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes as president. The denom-
nation now has 5000 churches.
Opposition to the change was
voiced by the Rev. Albert R.

the name should be retained be-
cause it states specifically '"what

Clay Calls on German,
To Rally for Freedom
And Warns Russia
By the Assoeia.ed Press

ef fne Asso(tofeO rfeSS
NEW YORK, May 25.-Heckled
and picketed, Gen. Lucius D. Clay
cast aside prepared speech at
an ti-Communist hold Berlin"
rally last night and issued a rally
ing call to the people of the Ger
man capital and a warning to the
Russians.
To the people of Berlin the
former American military COVER
nor in Germany said:
You have within yourselves the
moral strength to stop any at
tempted uprising among the
youths of Germany which would
destroy freedom. Be patient-the
time of freedom is rising"
1000 Pickets Routed.
A lone heckler disrupted the
rally and caused brief disorder
after police had routed 1000
chanting pickets outside Town
Hall.
A loud murmur arose from the
audience as young man began
heckling Gen. Clay because he had
cut the prison sentence of the
notorious Use Koch of Buchen-
wald.
Many men and women jumped
to their feet, some of them shout
ing.
The heckler continued shouting
above the noise until two detec-
tives escorted him out of the au-
ditorium. About 100 persons fol-
lowed. Some of those who left
the auditorium with him cried.
Let him speak"
After Gen. Clay had answered
the heckler in unsteady voice, the
general told the audience:
Il came here tonight with a
prepared speech, but now I am
not going to make that"
Undismayed by Blockade.
Referring to the noisy, sign
carrying pickets who had been
dispersed outside the Hall, Gen.
Clay said:
Having lived through the
blockade of Berlin, I am not dis
mayed by a blockade in New
York"
Just as Gen. Clay was about to
begin his speech. the heckler
questioned him on the issue of
Mrs. Koch, wife of the COM
mandant Of the Nazi extermina-
tion camp at Buchenwald.
How about Ilse Koch and hu-
man skim" The heckler demand
ed of Gen. Clay, who had cut the
woman's penalty to four years
after a military court had i'm
posed a life sentence for her part
in Buchenwald atrocities.
Mrs. Koch was accused Of max
ing lampshades from the skin of
prisoners. German authorities
now are holding her in an asylum
for mental examination prior to
facing trial by a German court
on war crimes charges.
Heckler Is Not Arrested.
Gen. Clay told the heckler:
II am never unwilling to- give
anybody his viewpoint on any
question, but I also believe that
any fair minded American is will
ing to listen"
The unidentified heckler. who
told newsmen I'm just a plain
GI," was not arrested. This is
a Nazi meeting" he charged.
The rally was sponsored by
Common Cause. Inc. an anti
Communist organization. The
pickets, who chanted phrases often
used by the Reds. represented the
American Jewish Labor Council
and other groups.
The text of Gen. Clay's speech,
which he ignored, denounced the
recent Soviet blockade of Berlin
as "the most ruthless attempt in
modern history to use starvation
as a means of political coercion.
