Decent Men Shying
AT Politics, Miller
Tells Church Council
By Cospor Names
Star Stuff Correspondent

sStNt St0sh SSssWStsSttN<~tU 4,
EVANSTON, III, Aug. H.
The present climate Of American
political life is such that decent
men may be pardoned for SHY
ing at the thought of becoming
politicians" q former candidate
for nomination as Governor Of
Virginia declared here today.
Francis Pickens Miller Of Char
lottesyille. Va, told a plenary
session Of the World Council Of
Churches second assembly that
"ths circumstances Of our ma
tional life in the United States
explain to some extent the alb
sence among many churches Of
interest in and concern for.
political activity as q Christian
vocation.
"Our constitutional separation
OF church and state makes 1t
easy for those looking for excuses
to say that religion has nothing
to do with politics.
Further. the conditions of
political life In the United States
are such that decent men may
be pardoned for shying at the
thought OF becoming politicians"
Consequently" he continued.
"the only incentives sufficient to
overcome these obstacles are a
strong sense Of responsibility for
the commonwealth and q clear
call from God"
U. N. Secretary Speaks.
Dag Hammarskjold, secretary
general Of the United Nations,
told the delegates last night there
are two current trends the world
must face.
"There is. first of all, in the,
international field, a need for
practical action, helping under
developed countries to achieve
such economic progress as would
give them their proper share in
the wealth Of the world.
"And there is a need for politi-
cal arrangements, providing a
framework for a development in
peace toward independence and
self determination for peoples
now experiencing a revival Of
national pride and achieving
political maturity"
The U. N. secretary general
said the churches could best
serve the cause of peace by ex-
planning chow world affairs are
run and what Is the RESPONSE
bility Of every one of U.S."
Pleads for Disarmament.
A top Lutheran church leader
last night called ON the United
States and Russia to sponsor a
joint resolution calling for effec-
tive disarmament regulations.
"Fear lays hold on man as he
contemplates the terrifying pow
er Of atomic and hydrogen
weapons" DR.. o. Frederick
Nolde, director Of the Commits
sion of the Churches on Inter-
national Affairs, said. "Effec-
tive international control of ma
tional ornaments would i'm
measurably increase the chances
of peaceful competition and
growing cooperation"
DR.. Nolde declared Christians
must lead in proclaiming that q
third world war sis not inevita-
BILE. It can be avoided. It must
be- prevented. Our major
objective must categorically be
peace, a peace to which we give
the positive content of justice
and responsible freedom"
The $40 delegates. represent
ing 1853 denominations from 48
countries. will continue their
discussion of World Council of
Churches business today within
the confines Of fifteen commit
tees.

MistriaI Declared
After u. 5. Objects TO
Waiver Of Jury Trial

Judge Alexander Holtzoff, who
yesterday began hearing a case
without a jury at the defend
ants request and over the Gov
ernment's protest, today de-
clared it a mistrial and agreed
the Governments position tech
nically was right.
The defendant in the case.
Edward T. Murray, colored,
charged with molesting two
small girls, had waived his right
to jury trial in the U. S. District
Court for the District of CO.
lumbia.
But Assistant United States
Attorney Alfred Hartman pro-
tested the waiver. Under the
Federal Rules of Criminal Pro-
cedure the Governments consent
must be obtained before Jury
waiver can be effective.
Judge Holzoff started yester-
days case without a jury and
two witnesses were heard.
Today Judge Holtzoff ex-
planned that in the past the
Government has automatically
consented to such waivers in
routine cases. He said he had
expected Mr.. Rover to give con-
sent today, in a legal sense max
ing it retroactive to yesterday.
But. the judge said he was taken
somewhat by surprise" when
