Founding Delegates
IOf' Christian Action ia
Elect Officers Today

Delegates to a founding meet
ing of Christian Action, Inc, a
new church organization for "a
socially constructive form of
Christianity" relating to political
and economic institutions, will
elect officers today at a meeting at
Howard University.
More than 200 Protestant min
listers, theological students and
Church officials are attending the
two-day meeting which opened
yesterday.
The conference will also issue a
statement of purpose today.
Niebuhr Lists Problems.
DR.. Reinhold Niebuhr, dean of
the faculty, Union Theological
Seminary, New York, yesterday
told the gathering that four sit
Iuations confront the church today
One is revival of a conserva-
tism lin which Christian pietism
becomes a screen for the tenets
of economic liberalism" DR.. Me
lbuhr asserted. 1T is a decayed
form of economic liberalism that
is the main basis for conservative
politics. 1t processes to fear
political power but is Indifferent
to the perilS of an irresponsible
economic power. The religious
wing of this conservatism simply
makes confusion worse confound-
ed by furnishing economic inter-
IestS with religious justifications
for their position.
Hits Fellow Travellers.
DR.. Niebuhr said "the group of
rather pathetic fellow travellers
who have debased Christian radi-
calism by subservience to Stalin-
ism" was another problem, while
1.-The sheer irrelevance of a great
deal of Christian testimony on
social issues" to the actual prob
lens was still a third.
The fourth situation stems from
Ia large body of Christians who
have both the courage and the
wisdom to deal effectively with the
great issues of our day." 1t is the
purpose of Christian Action to
organize and help this group be-
come more effective.

Ex-Lieutenant Files
100000 Libel Suit
BY the Associated Press

| BRIDGETON, N. j., Sept. 15.-
A former second lieutenant in the
New Jersey National Guard has
filed 100000 libel suit against
three high-ranking officers of the
50th Armored Division.
Sidney L. Brody of Vineland
made the charges against Brig.
Gen. Charles j. Hodge of Short
Hills; 1t. Col. Henry A. Carton
jr., Vineland, and Maj. John Hud-
son of Collingswood.
The suit alleges that Mai. Hud-
son, who was in charge of the
Hath Tank Battalion, libeled Mr..
Brody in 1850 efficiency report
sent to the commanding general,
Maj. Gen. Donald MCGOWAN.
Maj. Hudson is "spiteful, over
bearing. prejudiced, contemptu-
Gus, hateful and malicious toward
all persons of Jewish ancestry in
his command" Mr.. Brody's suit
charged.
Inc IOftnef lieutenant, VINO re-
signed from his post, said in his
suit that Maj. Hudson, with intent
to cause his dismissal from the
National Guard, wrote in the re-
port that Mr.. Brody was "inSolent
and a subversive force; he is poor
teacher and sloppy in personal ap-
pearance and urgently recon-
mended that he be severed from
the battalion in any way possible. +"
Mr.. Brody contends the charges
were false and made by the major
while knowing they were false,
causing damage to his reputation
and good name and diminishing
his chances of receiving a promo
ton in the National Guard.

Boy browns When Plea
For Aid Is Misunderstood
By the Assoeioted Press

COVINA, Calf, Sept. 15.-An
S-year-old boy was drowned here
yesterday because a group of
Mexicans couldn't understand his
6-year- sisters pleas for help.
The children, Billy and Naomi
Lyon, had crawled through a hole
In the fence surrounding a reser-
voir near heir home. Billy fell
down, struck his chin and toppled
into the water.
Naomi ran to the Mexicans who
were picking oranges in a grove
close, by. But no one Of them
could speak English. Not until
Naomi. sobbing frantically, had
summoned her mother and father
did Victor Rodriduez, 26, foreman
of the pickers, realize what had
happened.
He dove into the water in many
futile attempts to save the drown
ing child. Firemen finally brought
Billy'S body up with graphing
hooks.

the United Nations forces were

Allies May Retaliate.
In Washington, it was under

that, once the Reds used their
planes in force against Allied
troops, the Allies would retaliate
by going after the Manchurian
bases and pursuing the Red planes
north of the Yalu.
These officials said they antici-
pated no political difficulties with
other U. N. nations should retail

Presently, when the Russian
type MIG-15 jets sally into North
Korea in groups up to around so,
they usually tangle for only a few
minutes with American jets and
then return across the Yalu. The
pursuing Allied jets stop at the
river.

his dismissal from his command,

The fact that Allied airmen have

Diabetes TEST Shows
Positive Symptoms for
957 Persons in Area

Nearly 1000 persons who took a
free test for diabetes last week
were found to have symptoms OF

Association announced today.
Nearly complete results of the
test, conducted over the entire
Washington area from November
II to II, showed 957 positive"
findings, according to DR.. Louis K,

and chief of the medical service
at Mount Alto Veterans Admins
tration Hospital.

at one of 400 collecting points
Sugar in the urine discovered by
laboratory analysis, is one symp-
tom of diabetes. But DR.. Alper1
stressed that positive" test re-
suits would not indicate diabetes
in all individuals.
Not Conclusive.
Some healthy persons normally
have a small amount of sugar In
their urine from sugar over
f1ow," he said.
The test, in its third year here
was complicated, DR.. Alpert said
because some known diabetes sub
mitted samples Ito get free
test"
But he said that based on
national average of less than !
per cent undetected diabetes
sufferers among the entire ma
tional population the local figure
of 957 probably would be lowered
considerably.
To Notify Positives.
Persons whose urine tested
"positive" will be notified by mail
by the first of next week and
urged to see their physicians OF
report to clinics for further tests
DR.. Alpert said. The association
plans a "follow-up study" for the
first time this year to determine
how many of these persons ac-
tually had diabetes and didn't
know it.
Last year, the association got
TOO positive" results from a test
that included $4,000 persons. but

District Considers Women
As School Crossing Guards

The Commissioners are investi-
eating the possibility of using
women as school crossing guards
here.
The suggestion came in q
letter from George r. Hammond
director of safety and education
of the American Automobile AS
sociation, who pointed to increas-
ing traffic and a limited number
of policemen serving school areas
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue said he belives the suggestion
should be considered carefully
The schoolboy patrol apparently
isn't able to handle the whole
situation alone, he said.
Corporation Counsel Vernon E
West said he thinks the move
might require legislation. Mr.
Donohue and Commissioner Johr
Russell Young, however, ques.
toned whether the guards woult
have to have police powers.
