Most New Churches
To Be Modern Types,
Architects Predict.

There will be more modern
than traditional church struc-
lures built in the future If the
present trend continues, archi-
tects predicted yesterday.
They are here for the 18th
annual national joint conference
on church architecture. Approx
imately' 200 architects from all
parts Of the. country attended
the conference, which closed yes
terday. at the Statier Hotel. It
was sponsored BY the Church
Architectural Guild Of America
and the Bureau of Church Build
ing and Architecture. National
Council of Churches.
New Expression. fs3
people are after a new ex-
preston. in architecture" Walter
H. Pool of Philadelphia, chair
man Of the exhibit. said. This
is an outward expression of
people who have become inter-
ested in the churches since the
war" -
Arland Dirlam Of Boston, who:
was elected president of the
Church Architectural Guild at
the conference. pointed out that
smaller churches seem to go
toward the contemporary style
while the larger ones remain
traditional. There are two posi-
BILE explanations. Modern type
churches usually are less expen-
sive and are being erected in
suburban sections inhabited by
young couples more willing to
accept changes than the older
generation"
Modern Designs Win.
To emphasize his point, Mr..
Dirlam noted that seven of the
13 awards, in the exhibit. for the
best church architecture of the
year went to contemporary de-
sign buildings. Six went to ira
ditional style churches and one
to modernized Spanish style.
"This is the first time in our
IS years that modern churches
have won a majority of the
awards" he observed.

European Delegates Meet
On sf-West Trade Plans
BY the Associated Press

GENEVA, Switzerland, April
13,-Delegates from nearly all
Europe's countries. including
both parts of Germany, met here
in secret today to discuss a
possible revival of trade between
East and West Europe.
The meeting was expected to
provide one of the Soviet Un-
ions first opportunities to DEM
onstrate the sincerity of its
peace offensive"
The meeting was convened by
Gunnar Myrdal of Sweden, ex-
ecutive secretary of the United
Nations Economic Commission
for Europe, after a sudden
about-face by the Soviet Union
last February. Mr.. Myrdal's ef-
forts to promote an East-West
trade conference had previously
been ignored by the Soviet Un-
ion since 1851.
Trade between East and West
Europe had dropped to less than
one-third of the prewar level
by last year. Mr.. Myrdal be-
lieves that a revival of large
scale purchases by Western Eu-
rope of Eastern timber, grains,
coal and other raw materials
in return for non-strategic West
ern industrial products could
greatly help towards solving the
economic difficulties Of. both

pressed hope that Commerce
Secretary Weeks would act to
hold off any designations until
the Senate Committee could look
into the situation.
Senator Sparkman, Democrat,
of Alabama. voiced the double
hope that Senate hearings can
be started promptly on the bat
terry additive dispute, and that
Commerce Secretary Weeks will
hold up removal of DR.. Astin as
the Bureaus director in the
meantime
DR.. AStin's resignation is
scheduled to become effective at
midnight Friday.
The only reason given by Sec
retary Weeks, in calling for DR..
Astin's resignation last month,
was dissatisfaction with the
bureaus findings regarding the
battery adoitiveS - chemicals
which are supposed to prolong
the life of batteries.
TObey to Study Situation.
The bureau said it's tests had
proved that battery restorer
known as AD-X2 was no more
effective than other additiveS.
Secretary Weeks said the bureau
was not sufficiently objective"
in this finding.
Senator Sparkman also said
today he would like to see the
Senate Commerce Committee go
into the subject. A proposal to
this effect already is pending be-
fore the Commerce Committee,
embodied in a resolution intro
duced by Senator Morse, Inde-
pendent, of Oregon.
Chairman Tobey of the Com
merce Committee said he would
discuss the situation with men,
bers of his committee.
He doubted, however, if his
group would inaugurate hear
ings in view of the fact that the
Small Business Committee al
ready had scheduled an inquiry
and has jurisdiction over the
battery angle of the dispute.
More Scientists Protest.
AS protests mounted over han
ding of the AStin incident. the
American Institute of Physics
revealed it had wired Secretary
Weeks last week that profound
disquiet" had been caused among
its membership. The organiza-
ton said the impression that DR..
Astin's resignation had been
forced for political arbitrary
reasons" would make it difficult
to recruit scientists for Govern
ment work and to keep them on
the job.
The Institute also informed Mr..
Weeks it was appointing DR.. Lee
A. DuBridge. president of the
California Institute of Technol-
ogy, as it's representative on a
committee of science leaders to
appraise Bureau of Standards
operations.

Norwegian Board
Drafts Safeguards
On dissemination
By the Associated Press

OSLO, Norway, April ia
committee appointed by the Nor
wegian parliament to work out
a law regulating artificial inSem-
ination in humans, wound up a
three-year study today by pro-
posing strict rules to protect the
legal position of "test tube chill
dren."
The committee was composed
of a Lutheran bishop, a doctor,
woman professor of psyche
logy, housewife and an under
secretary in the Department of
Justice. 1t concentrated its
study on the problems of hetero-
logous dissemination in married
women-cases where the donor
is not the husband.
The committee d is m iss sc d
homologous insemination-Where
the husband himself is the dom
or-as no problem at all. and
carefully hedged the ticklish
problem of artificial insemina-
ton in unmarried women, de-
ferring it for later study"
Called Fully Legal.
The full committee, including
the bishop, Johannes Smidt, held
that artificial dissemination is
fully legal under present laws,
and opposed any law to prohibit
the process.
But the panel split when it
came to propose concrete legal
regulations on the practice.
Three members worked out de-
tailed proposals for law. while
the two others held that no law
was necessary.
The majority proposed a law
with these main points:
Cd Artificial dissemination may
only be carried out by a DOCTOR
specialist. licensed by the De-
partment of Health.
CD Both husband wife must
be over Is years of age.
90 An application for artifi-
cial dissemination must be sub
mitted in writing to the doctor,
and the husband must give his
unreserved consent.
Could Be Divorce Grounds.
(4 A husband may demand
divorce if his wife submits to
artificial dissemination without
mis- knowledge.
90 Children born as a re-
suit of artificial dissemination
would receive the same legal
status as a normally conceived
child, and there will be no legal
ties with the anonymous donor.
(6) The identity of the donor
is to remain unknown to the
couple concerned and vice versa.
The doctor must ascertain that
the donor is in no way related
to the prospective mother.
CD 1t is left to the doctors
discretion to determine whether
the couple wanting a test tube
baby are mentally, physically and
materially fit to have the child.

accidently shot his daughter,
Mrs. Katherine Shaw, So. in one

wound and shock.
Sheriff Sid Saunders said Ci-
ami had been interested roman

port home to press his atten-
tions on Mrs. Shaw.
Saturday night Ciani returned
to the home, Sheriff Saunders
said, and when Dr.. Rice ordered
him to leave, Ciani picked up
Mrs. Shaw, who weighs about 12O
pounds, and ran out of the house
