Mere 'Lip-Service' Hit
In Missionary Appea!

A warning that communism
will attract an increasing number
lof Koreans unless Christians stop
paying mere lip-service to Chris
tian principles, was made by q
medical missionary to Korea be-
fore the Church of the Pilgrims

The Christian church's Offering
Of little more than superficial
aid to Koreans in the past has
been partly responsible for many
Koreans acceptance of commu-
nism, DR.. Paul S. Crane, a mis-
sionary to Korea since 1947, de-
clared.
Many Koreans. especially the
young people" he said. have be-
come disillusioned with their re-
Iligion and disguised with the cor.
lruption of officials" This left
a moral vacuum" for the Com
munists.
When the Communists tool
over most of South Korea in the
early part of the war, many peo-
Iple turned toward the Communist
philosophy which promised equal.
Iity and justice, he said.
DR.. Crane said that communism
"a false religion" can best bt
combatted by large scale, long.
range Christian program, which
would include the addition o1
more mission schools and hos.
pitfalls.
The correction of basic maladie!
in Korean life is not just a jot
for armies or governments, DR.
Crane declared, "for there is nj
substitute for trained. intelligent
Christian worker"
! Born of missionary parents whit
spent 40 years in Korea. DR.. Gran,
has lived a large part of his lift
in that country. Now on fur.

Reorganization
Plan for D. T..
DueNextMonth
Budget Bureau to Gel
Proposal, Young Says
Fuvors StreumIininq

A plan for reorganizing the Dis
trict government will be SUBJ
mitted to the Budget Bureau on or
before December Is, Commissioner
John Russell Young said today.
The commission chairman said
plan drawn by Engineer Com
missioner Bernard l.. Robinson
had not been discussed with him
and that he had no knowledge of
it until its appearance in news
papers Sunday.
However, he added, the Com
mlssioners are under instruction
from the Budget Bureau to sub
NIT the best plan by December Is
under the Reorganization Act of
1949. The best features of all
proposals which have been made
Will be incorporated into the final
plan, MIR. Young said.
Fowler Plan Discussed.
He said he has felt for a long
time that the District government
should undergo a streamlining.
Mr.. Young said the Commits
sioners had discussed the reor-
ganization plan of Walter L.
Fowler, of the District budget
office, but that it had not been
discussed in detail.
Mr.. Fowlers reorganization plan
Is based on a commission n-man-
ager type of government. Mr..
Young said that he doubts that
manager form of government
would be feasible here, because
the District could pay only SILL
Oo0. and a good city manager
could demand $4,000 a year or
more.
Latest Proposal Offered.
Gen. Robinsons plan would set
up a true" commission form of
government, with the individual
Commissioners acting as admin
1strative heads of departments.
Gen. Robinson's proposal was
the latest offered on reorganizing
the District government here. The
Fowler program had been placed
before the Commissioners pre-
viously.
In addition, Commissioner F.
Joseph Donohue is expected to
make recommendations for the
reorganization. Mr.. Young has
indicated that he has no general
reorganization plan to submit. Mr..
Fowler pointed out that in the
last so years about 20 reorganiza-
ton proposals have been made,
but that previous plans had been
considered too costly.
Would Like More Authority.
Mr.. Young said he would like
to see Congress give the Commits
sioners more authority in running
the District government.
Mr.. Fowler said today that the
District had been unaware that
it was eligible to submit a reor-
ganization plan under the 1949
law until it was SO informed re-
Gently by the Budget Bureau.
The District is getting an un-
usual opportunity to reorganize
its government" he added.
The reorganization plan would
be submitted first to the Budget
Bureau for it's approval or recon-
mendations, and would go from
there to the White House and
finally to Congress for approval
or rejection. If Congress took no
action within 60 days. the rorgan-
ization would go into effect auto
matically.
The present form of govern
ment here is adequate" Mr..
Young said, "but it can be stream
lined to great advantage"
