The Week in Religion
Church Leaders Study Report
On Council for Social Action

by Congregational Christians,
but against political action by
the Congregational Christian
Church or its official agencies. y
Whether the boards report
will win the approval of the
General Council next year can
not be forecast. Nor is there
any way of knowing to what
degree it represents the opinion
of the average Congregational
Christian churchgoer.
It's significance in the overall
problem of church social action
is equally hard to determine.
But it is striking evidence of
the difficulties facing the
churches in their attempt to find
effective means to apply Chris
tian teaching to the social
problems of modern society.

Man Who Stayed Wife To Marry JUN. Secretary Sentenced to Hang

BALTIMORE, Rl- George Ed ward Grammer Tuesday was sen fenced to hang for the almost perfect" staying of his wife last summer so he could marry prit- ty LIN. stenographer in NewY ork.
 Judge Herman M. Moser, who convicted Grammer of first de- gree murder after a sensational trial last October, said Grammer mot only proceeded by cunning scheme to murder his wife but also developed a dastardly plan to make her death look acciden- tal."
 Mrs Grammer, former Balti- more nurse who had come here from New York to help care for dying father, was found dead in her sedan after it had careened down a hill at the northeast edge of Baltimore last August 20.
 Her husband, evidence at the trial showed, had spent a week earlier in the month at Chicago with Miss Mathilda Mizibrocki, a LIN. secretary from Canada, and they had talked of marriage.
 Grammer, 36, was personnel manager for a mines and metals firm in New York.

Ike Stands Firm on COlan as Member
 OfBoundary Board

WASHINGTON, R-The White House made it clear yesterday that President Eisenhower is standing firm on his appointment of Samuel Golan, Chicago attor- ney, as United States member of the U.S.-Alaska-Canada Interna- tional Boundary Commission.
 1t is believed," Presidential Press Secretary James C. Hagerty told news conference, that the best interests of the country could be served by appointment of an eminently qualified lawyer as commissioner
 Hagerty's statement came against the background of a question put to Eisenhower.
 At that time, reporter told the President the boundary treaty called for appointment of a quail fled geographer to represent the United States.
 The reporter also noted that Eisenhower promised during the campaign to select men of spec iailzed ability for each federal job.
 The newsman then went on to ask the President how he squared appointment of Golan, an attor- ney, with the treaty requirements and his own campaign pledges.
 The President said the reporter certainly had stated his case-and that it sounded terrible. He prom ised to look into the matter and find out why the information had not been given to him, if the case had been stated correctly

 The question of bungling and ineffciency in the Defense Department is issue rapidly coming to a head. Not only do American taxpayers spend over forty billions of dollars year to sustain the armed services but they also spend another six billions for veterans and veterans benefits Counting another six or seven billions spent military and economic aid programs abroad the taxpayers levy for defense sures is truly gigantic one, comprising two-thirds of the U.S budget!

Ammunition Production Control Taken Away From Army By LOvett

CContinued from Page One) tember, 1850, Secretary of De- fense George c. Marshall ordered an investigation into the ammuni- ton situation.
 But he said the first ''inkling" that he had of shortage in Korea was in September, 1851
 This was five months after Gen. James A. Van Fleet went to Korea in April, 1851 Van Fleet, retired commander of the Eighth Army, has testified there was a shortage the whole time he was in Korea.
 Earlier, Lovett had said that last December there was two or three times more ammunition in the Far East than the Americans had in Normandy. for the early phases of the giant invasion of Europe in June, 1914
 Lovett said that in speaking of Unsatisfactory" performance on ammunition he had in mind am- intuition for 155-mm. howitzers, 105-mm. howitzers, 6O- and 81- nm. mOrtarS.
 Lovett said he could not under stand a statement by Gen. J. Law ton Collins, Army chief of staff, that ammunition had been rolling out of production lines since cer- tain restrictions" on the Army had been removed last November.
 Lovett declared he didn't know of any restrictions on the Army.
 T find myself in complete dis agreement with General Collins, :" the former secretary asserted. "I don't know what he refers to-"
 Then he went on to say that he had taken the ammunition prob lem tout of the Army's control" ]"
 He said from February, 1851, the Army had held complete delegation of authority to make contracts. But he said when he left office last January the Army still hadn't been able to spend all the money appropriated.
 Lovett said the chief of ord nance had authority to make con- tracts-and if he had wanted to delegate authority in the making of sub- contracts then The should have asked for it."
 But he said lack of authority by the Army had absolutely noth- ing" to do with the problem of getting ammunition production.
