Hail Army's Action
In Releasing Four

The Army was commended
today by Seventh-day Adventist
leaders for releasing four Ad-
ventist servicemen from a SEN
tence of six months hard labor
because they would not take
part in a practice alert on q
Saturday, their Sabbath.
The four had been sentenced
on February 4 at Fort Richard

leased on orders of Col. Barney
Daughtry after serving three
weeks of their sentence.
Carlyle B. Haynes, War Serv-
ice director for the denomina-
ton. IN a statement said the re-
lease "exemplifles at it's best
American military tradition of
democratic consideration for the
individual and his religious be-
lief.
THE Army for many years has
given every consideration to Ad-
ventist men and their regard for
the Sabbath, and in turn the
men have regularly been on duty
on Sunday when other men were
off duty. The Anchorage Incl
dent was an isolated unfavorable
case in what have been very
good relations with the armed

Adenauer AssaiIed
In Parliament for
Secret Decisions

BONN, Germany, Sept. 49,
Parliament heard a charge to-
day that Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer's system of secret de-
cisions" is endangering democ-
racy in West Germany.
The attack was led by Socialist
deputies. They demanded that
Interior Minister Gerhar
Schroeder resign and that full
scale inquiry be undertaken into
the detection of Security Director
Otto John and a deputy of Mr..
Adenauer's Christian Democatic
(CDU) Party to the Communist
East.
Adenauer Sits ImpassiveIy.
Mr.. Adenauer, buffeted by elec-
tion setbacks to the CDU in the
north only this week and by the
wreckage of his pet European
army plan, sat by impassively.
|. Socialist Wilhelm Mellies de-
dared the detection of John,
former head OF the security bu-
reau, and sCDU Deputy Karl
Franz Schmitt- Wittmack must
be traced to what he called Mr..
Adenauer's personal habit of
reaching "secret decisions with
out consulting anyone else"
Faith in democracy has been
staggered" he asserted. TOO
little has been done to build par
liamentary democracy"
Not a Catastrophe"
Mr.. Schroeder told the deputies
he did not want to minimize the
John case, but "it Is not a catas-
trophe."
Amid jeering laughter from his
parliamentary foes, Mr. Adenauer
said he did not have time to an
sWer numerous groundless as
sertions" against his government.
Il must leave now" he said,
"to receive American Foreign
Minister Dulles, who is coming to
Bonn for decisive talks on Ger
many'S fate"
