too restrictive about giving women
special status as servants of the
church?
This question was up for debate
today at the convention of the
United Lutheran Church in Ameri-
ca.
A plan to give women more free
dom in becoming deaconesses was
proposed in a reorganization plan
at the denominations biennial CO.
vetion.
The idea stirred a furry of op-
position yesterday among dele
gates, who declared such a role
should be given only to those who
entered it for life.
Special Status
The church, which does not or
dain women ministers, has a dia-
conate-a special statuS-for sin

work.
The present concept for such a
position is ''too restrictive" a
commission on church reorgani-
zation said.
"The present tendency is to
make "a diaconate a sisterhood
which approaches an order"
Declaring the door should be
opened to more women in this cat

In the Days Ahead

farmers while continuing the assistance
of the government. This is the sound APP
proach. To make it effective, surpluses eX-
isting when the new program begins must
be insulated from the normal channels OF
trade and devoted to special uses. lheSe
uses would include school-lunch programs,
disaster relief emergency assistance to
foreign friends, and Of particular import
ance, the stockpiling of reserves for ma
tional emergency.
Building on the agricultural laws Of
1913 and l949, we should establish price
support program with enough fleXiblllty
to attract the production Of needed sup
plies and to stimulate the consumption OF
those commodities that are plentiful IN
the American markets. Transition to mod
ernized parity must be accomplished only
gradually. IN no case should there be an
abrupt downward change in dollar level
or in the percentage level Of price sup
ports
No doubt the special message on Mon
day will give more detail but the general
principle advanced by the President APP
pears to be sound. 1t can be workable if
the program can be administered with the
least Influence of political pressures.
Two specific proposals Of the President
we believe unWise, namely statehood f0l
Hawaii, and constitutional amendment
permitting citizens to vote when they reach
the age Of Is years.
On the first, we believe that we have
enough territory within the territorial
borders Of the United States to govern anc
protect The population OF the Uniteo
States is cosmopolitan within its borders
and we seriously doubt the wisdom OF IN
cooperating into the Union territory re-
moved from this nation by miles Of sea.
On the second, we believe a certain
state Of maturity must be reached to bf
eligible to voice expressions Of policy at
the polls. The age Of q years is early
enough for the average person to assume
the responsibilities Of citizenship The fac'
that 18-year-olds bear arms is irrelevant
to the assumption Of voting responsibilities
The days ahead will provide the ma
ton with many domestic changes if there
is no resumption OF war possibility
which we must not overlook. An open mind
freedom of discussion and a daily prayer
for divine guidance may ease the days
ahead.

Several points he did make SPECIFIC. one
being agriculture He takes conservative
and realistic approach on this subject.
4, Agriculture is the basis of American pros
perity and should have such support as IS
needed However, the fluctuating cond-
tions dictate program which must be fleX-
ible.,
The President said
We confront two alternatives. The
first is to impose still greater acreage re-
ductons for some crops and apply rigid
federal controls over the use of the divert
ed acres This will regiment the production
Of every basic agricultural crop. 1t will
place every producer of those crops under
the domination and control Of the Federal
Government in Washington. This alterna-
tive is contrary to the fundamental inter-
ests not only of the farmer but of the
nation as a whole Neither is it a real solu-
ton to the problem facing us.
The second alternative is to permit
the market price for these agricultural
products gradually to have a greater in
