Attempts 10 Silence
Preachers Attacked
BY Bishop Oman
ey HE Asseeieted Press

CLEVELAND, April ls.-At-
tempts to silence preachers and
demand that they become "chap-
lains Of the status quo" drew ora
torical FIRE from Methodist Bishop
G. Bromley Oman Of New York
here last night.
The bishop spoke at the Meth
odist Woman's Society Of Chris
tian Service quadrennial assembly
"a meeting attended by $500
delegates from all 4S states and
representing s. million women Of
the denomination.
Self-interest groups IN the
country currently are creating a
rising demand for "silencing of
the prophet, the suppression OF
discussion, and. what Is abhorrent
to every American, thought
control the bishop declared.
Deplores ''Wild Charges"
He urged that the FBI-not
men who see political advantages
in headlines es'-investigate and
prosecute subversive individuals
and organizations.
wild charges" he said, con-
tribute to the Communist cause
since they divide our people,
create suspicion and divert our
energies from those constructive
measures that. in realizing justice
make us impregnable to commu-
mist attack"
self appointed vigilantes mas
querating in patriotic robes ride
the national highway and. like
their forebearers, contribute to
lawlessress," he added.
Church Won't Be Silenced.
To critics who, he claims. are
exerting pressure to have the
clergy confine its attention to
the "so-called spiritual" matters,
Bishop Oman asserted:
THE church refuses to be
silenced by capitalists, Communist
or Socialist who declares that his
particular system shall be free
from the Judgment of God. The
Communist admits of no moral
law. Too many capitalists are as
suming what Is called the Ameri-
can way or free enterprise is the
Christian Gospel and any criti-
cism of capitalistic procedures is
therefore blasphemy."
The Methodist Council of Bish-
ops. also meeting here in semi
annual session, debated in secret
a way of answering charges in a
recent magazine article that there
is a pink fringe" in American
Methodism.
The article, written for the Feb
ruary Readers Digest by Stanley
High of the magazines staff,
charged that the Methodist Fed
Grafton for Social Action. an unof-
ficial church body. opposed the
capitalistic system and showed
sympathy for some Communist
theories.
No official course Of action by
the Bishops Council was decided.

The tall. white-haired legisla-
tor coasted to an easy win over
two opponents in New Jerseys
5th Congressional District primary
election.
His victory was one Of eight
won by organizations backed can

High-Pressnre Salesmanship Gave
Student New American Impressions

Hiding karneus has felt the
zest and appeal of the American
way of life by studying and ac-
lively participating in number
of activities at the University of
Washington. When he was con-
verified TO a high-pressure sales
man he learned even more about
America.
A 25-year-ol0 5Wede, Hiding
already knows more about the Cd
dities of America perhaps than
most Americans, even though he
arrived in the us. from Sweden
only a year and a half ago.
Money-Conscious Americans?
Hiding, who is leaving America
for Sweden in March, does not
refute the old saying that Ameri-
cans are money-conscious. To
him it seems that Americans are
more interested in the money they
can get out of a job than the
responsibility of the position. In
Sweden the position and the de-
gree of respect it offers in the
eyes of others is often more i'm
portant than the money it brings.
This contradiction, he believes can
also account for a misunderstand-
ing of Americans on the part of
the Scandinavians.
They are accustomed TO see
ing American tourists and during
the war soldiers who threw money
about quite freely" he says las
a result they think it doesn't take
much TO make an easy buck in
the states"
Found Job Selling Bibles
Hiding just about means they
are quite wrong. He feels that
Americans take more pains and

Der of tables and chairs of a

The food ration is generally con-
sidered to be ample except, per-
haps, for coffee, which always
seems to be short in Scandinavia.
There is no rationing in restau-
rants, although one gets only one
sugar bit with a cup of coffee.
On the other hand. the helping of
butter which one gets is two to
three times greater than the usual
Stateside helping.
Government controlled Prices
Retail food prices are low as
they are strictly controlled by the
government. Production is main
tanned by substituting producers.

AS he was without a job and
needed some money and couldn't
find any within easy reach, Hid

American job market. It wasn't
easy. Jobs were scarce. He saw
an advertisement in a Seattle pa

a hundred dollars a week. He
got the job. He was assigned to
