Wrong Train" Of Thought

the passengers have always been
pleased. Now-along comes fell
low who wants the train to go at
his speed. Some people are like
that. Some still would begrudge
another persons right to a tenn
perate glass of beer even though
that person wouldn't dream Of
flashing a "Stop" sign on their
preference for, say, milk, coffee
or tea. Respecting the rights of
others is the only way we can

LONDON, (NC)-Exiled Ukraini-

memory of those who died for
their Faith in Europe.
The procession was the highlight
of day of protest at the continu-

at the lack of concern which
this persecution appears to arouse
in the Christian West.

Released-Tinne
.Ok'd for Iowa
Public Schools

DES MONIES, la. - NC) -
Iowa's public school students may
be released during regular school
hours for religious instructions out
side of the school, the State Attor-
ney Generals office has ruled.
The ruling was made as the re-
suit of inquiries from two Protest
ant groups - the Dubuque Council
of Churches and the Lutheran Pas
tors Council. The groups disclos-
ed that they plan to start a pro-
gram for third and fourth grade
pupils this fall under which pupils
from two public schools would be
given religious instructions in near
by churches. They asked County
Attorney Robert Oeth of Dubuque,
for an opinion on the legality OF
the released time plan and he, in
turn. passed the question on to the
State Attorney Generals office.
Assistant Attorney General Kent
Emery, in lengthy opinion, said
the board of directors of an Iowa
school district may make provisions
to excuse pupils, on the written
request of their parents. for an
hour each week to attend religious
instruction classes conducted by
non-school personnel at places
which are not a part of the school
premises.
The opinion said that the Iowa
Legislature has deemed it proper
and advisable to encourage atten-
dance of children at religious ser
vices and to attend places where
they will receive religious instruc-
ton.

Coup in Iran
Seen as Brake
On Red Power

CAIRO, Egypt = (NC) =
The royalist coup in Iran has
for the time being checked
the insidious march to power
by communism in that country.
This is the reaction of Chris
tian circles here over the SER
les of attempted coups and
coups which catapulted Shah
supporter, Maj Gen. Fazollah "a
hedi, into the post of premier, and
landed former premier Mohammed
MoSsadegh in prison.
Christian circles had expressed
concern over what they termed
Mossadegh's secret collaboration
with the communists, who are Of
ficially outIawed in Iran. Both the
young Shah, Mohammed Rezs Pah-
levi and the new premier are
known to be staunchly opposed to
communism
While Christians form only a
small minority of the Iranian pop
ulation, the fear is expressed here
that they would quickly feel the
heavy hand of communism should
the Reds ever seize complete pow
er in Iran.
II is recalled here that during
Trans troubles with Russia over
the Azerbaijan province Q944-
1946), puppet communist regime
there Immediately began a perse-
cution of religious groups. 1t is
noted that religious worship was
restricted, religious schools closed,
and religious instruction forbidden
in the communist-c on troll e d
schools. The property of both de-
vout Christians and Moslems was
confiSeated
ranian Catholics number only
about 1900 in a population of 20
million, or less than one in a thou
sand. The Catholics belong to the
Latin, Armenian and Chaldean
rites. Since 1925 they have enjoy
ed a great measure of freedom,
with the exception of the troubles
in Azerbaijan.
Christianity was repeatedly first
introduced in Iran shortly after
the Resurrection of Christ.
/ However. the Christians in the
Iran area embraced the HISTORIAN
heresy in the early Christian cen
turies. Later they were almost wip
ed out when the Moslems gained
power there.
Many of the present day Catho
lies in Iran are descendants OF
heretical groups and have rejoin
ed the Church within the last cen
tury.
