and then give them members
who are really interested and
cooperative.
That's all it takes, except. Of

Presbyterians Vote
For Merger Of Two
Old Churches Here
By C0spor Nonnes
ss1r Staff Correspondent

FREDERICK, Md, June o.
Two old Washington Presbyteri-
an churches have voted to merge.
it was learned today.
They are Metropolitan Presby-
terrain Church. Independence
avenue and Fourth street Sc.
organized in 1864, and Eastern
Presbyterian Church. Maryland
avenue and Sixth street NE.
Eastern Church has 489 men,
bers and Metropolitan Church,
404 members.
Each church has appointed a
committee of five to discuss the
details. According to present
plans, one Of the church build
ings will be renovated and the
other sold. It has not been de-
cided which church will be kept.
The minister of Eastern
Church is the Rev. Donald F.
Keith. The minister of Metro
politan Church. the Rev. James
c. Fail, recently resigned and
will become pastor of the Rock
vile Presbyterian Church on
Sunday.
The name of the merged
church has not been chosen. One
that has received favorable men
ton is the Capitol Hill Presby-
terrain Church. The decision was
made at special meetings last
Sunday.
The $50 delegates attending
the Baltimore Synod of the Pres
byterian Church, U. S. A., at Hood
College here today heard the
Rev. Merlyn A. Chapel of New
York.
He told the gathering that the
national church plans to con-
centrate on helping downtown
congregations in cities through
out the country.
I'VE are trying to stop run
ming away from the center of
the city and to serve the people
who are there" Mr.. Chapel
said.
Delegates from synod churches
in the District, Maryland, and
Delaware will take up reports at
sessions later today. The four
day meeting will close tomorrow

special detail of 16 policemen in

708 Seventh street NE, who said
the housebreaker carried knife,
but fed without attempting to
use it. He wore a yellow straw

Meyer, Of the LIST Precinct. and
j. F. Phelps. of the End, both in
plainclothes, were cruising in
Pvt. Meyers own car. They saw
Robinson walking across the
park-his shirttail out.
Pvt. Meyer stopped him, asked
his address. He gave one. in the
1st Precinct. It was not only in
Pvt. Meyers precinct, but on his
usual beat. and the policeman
knew there was no such address.
Then they asked if he had a
knife.
He drew one from his pocket
and, they said. started to open
the 5-inch blade when both the
200-pound policemen trapped
his arms.

and the interests of the United
States and its allies there are
clearly endangered. It is. there
fore. critically important that
the Congress authorize the APP
preparation Of funds needed to
provide military and other as
sistance to this area and that
authority be granted to adjust
the use of these funds to rapidly
changing conditions.
OF the $3.5 billion requested
by the administration, approx
mately $1,770,000 is earmarked
for the Far East and the
Pacific. Another 5000 million is
for Europe. $3.50 million for the
Near East, Africa and South
Asia; SAT million for Latin
America, and some $165 million
for non-regional programs.
Noting that a major part of
the nearly SIS billion being spent
this fiscal year and the funds
asked for the coming IL months
is for military assistance. the
President said "theSe amounts
are, indeed, substantial"
Cheaper Than War.
But a common defense SyS-
tenn evolved in concert with al
lies" he added, lis far less ex-
pensive to our people and far
more effective to the free world
t''"n a defense structure erected
only on our soil, consisting only
of our forces. Such amounts.
moreover. are minscule COM
pared to the cost of global war
which these programs help to
prevent"
He said the administration
request amounts to approx
mately a 40 per cent reduction
in administration requests over
the past two years. and said
further reductions "in view Of
the continuing threat to our ma
tional safety, would be unjusti-
fled and unsafe"

on the House side would au-
thorize funds which would

New Data Offered
On credibiIiiy Of
Crouch Testimony

New evidence bearing on the
credibility Of Paul Crouch. for
mer Communist now employed
as a full-time ''conSultant" by
the Department Of Justice. has
been filed with the Board Of I'm
migration Appeals in the de-
portation case of Jacob Burck.
Chicago Sun Times cartooniSt.
Mr.. Crouch, named in the
Army Nc arthy hearings as the
man whose memorandum on
Communists in the Army
touched OF the Mccarthy inves-
tigation of subversives at Fort
Monmouth, N. j.. has been ac-
cuSed of giving conflicting
testimony. Attorney General
Brownell said recently that the
Department is investigating the
charges. Mr.. Crouch has been
employed for some time as a
$25-a-day expert on communism
by the immigration and Natu-
ra1ization Service.
Testimony Under Attack.
The Burck brief includes these
assertions concerning Mr..
Crouch:
/. He testified that he was
editor of the "Dade County
News" in Florida in l947. Aft
davits attached to the brief quote
various officials as saying no
such paper existed
2. Mr.. Crouch testified he was
IAN editor" of The Miami Herald
and did work on radio facsim-
ile." Herald officials state he
was employed for four months in
the mechanical department and
did no editorial or radio facsim-
lie work.
3. Mr.. Crouch said he worked
for the Miami Daily News "in a
supervisory capacity in connec-
ton with copy production" Of
f1cials of the paper swear he was
a teletype tape cutter for about
eight months.
4. Mr.. Crouch testified that he
first openly broke with COM
muniSm in 1916 in the presence
of Texas judge who was a per
sonal friend" and an FBI agent.
The judge. Oscar C. Dancy,
Swears in an affidavit that he is
positive that II never met Paul
Crouch in my life. He said
that was a personal friend of
his. This is not true. - Judge
Dancy also says he is positive he
never discussed communism with
Mr.. Crouch lin the presence of
an FBI' man or any one else,
Told of Break" in 1912.
Mr.. Crouch testified on one
occasion that his absolute
break" with communism came in
1912. but he also testified that
ne visited party headquarters IN
New York in 1916 and received
a membership book in 1947.
The brief also notes that Mr..
Crouch testified that a Com
munist-run union forced his re-
moval from a Pan American
World Always job in 1916. The
brief alleges that Pan American
fired him because he signed an
application form stating that he
had been honorably discharged

brief says, he was court-rnar-
tailed for Communist activities,
was convicted and served nearly
two years in Alcatraz.

of Mr.. jenkins that he would
accept the aid Of Senator Nc.
Carthy If he decides to run for
the Senate from Tennessee, as
he is being urged to do.
(Mr. jenkins since has been
reported as counting himself out
of the Tennessee race because
he doesn't think he can VIM.
But the Democrats did not
raise the question in the execu-
tive session after Senator Mundt
told them Mr.. jenkins work
would be entirely perfunctory.
Senator Jackson. Democrat. Of
Washington, said they talked
about Mr.. jenkins impartial
ity." But he described the job
the counsel would do for the
committee as pure mechanical
drudgery."
5000 Word Report Seen.
Mr.. Jenkins headed for his
Tennessee home with the volu-
minous transcript of the hearing.
At his farm near Knoxville. Sen
ator Mundt said. the attorney
and a special staff will boil down
the nearly Q million words Of
testimony to something like
5000 words or more. That will
take about three weeks.
After the jenkins synopsis is
received, there will be another
meeting of the Mundt Subcom-
mittee. The various members will
list the issues they wish touched
on in the final report. Then. Mr..
Jenkins will make a balance
sheet" Of the issues for the COM
mittee, giving, in Sena tor
Mundt's words. the pros and
cons of the case"
At that point the committee
will start drafting a final report.
There are indications of one
main report and an undeter-
mined number of individual
opinions or dissents on various
points.
Meanwhile, the Mundt sub
committee will take up a couple
of collateral issues. One will be
the reported failure of two staff
members of the Mccarthy sub
committee to obtain security
clearance from the Defense De-
partment for access to secret
material.
The other involves a decision
as to whether to mention in the
report charges made against
Senator Mccarthy in a sworn
statement by H. Strive Hensel,
Assistant Secretary of Defense.
Senator McCarran, Democrat,
OF Nevada meanwhile. denounced
the hearing in a Senate speech
as a spectacle at which COM
munism grinned and applauded
(while) Americanism stood still,
frustrated, in horror and amaze
ment."
Senator McCarran asSailed

forbidding White House aides,
Attorney General Brownell and
other participants, to testify as
to what took place at a Justice
Department meeting last Janu-
airy 81 at which Senator Nc
Carthy's row with the Army
was discussed.
The Nevada Senator called
the Eisenhower order a denial
of access to competent evidence
which mo report can justify"
The order, he said, went far
beyond the necessities or pro-
prieties of the situation"
He added he views the order
as setting an unfortunate prec-
edent (which) will rise to
block any attempt by the Con-
gress to investigate any unde-
Sirable situation in the execu-
tive branch" in the future.
