Faces Fresh
RebelCounts

MANILA lR - State prosecutors
say that they were preparing
fresh charges against convicted
Communist Hulk leader Luis Taruc,
the willy rebel who was sentenced
Sunday to IL years imprison-
ment and 4 $4,000 fine for re-
bellion.
Government prosecutors said
they were not satisfied with the

Mia Court Of First Instance. Taruc
was convicted only d charges Of
rebellion. He had pleaded guilty
to 4 23-count indictment including
murder, kidnap, arson and rob-
berry.

that life sentence be imposed on
the AO-yearsold dissident, who sur-
rendered last May. The defense
said they were satisfied with the
sentence.
Tar,ie, who eluded government
forces for eight years, made an
imprisoned appeal for social JUS
tice in a 2S-minute address to the
court last Friday when he was
arraianed.
He was listed by the army as
the third-Fanked leader in the
Hulk hierarchy At the time Of his
surrender.
The Manila Evening News, frat
newspaper to comment on the SEN
tence, called it "a disgrace to the
nation and indicated ! ''dsar'
may have been made between the
government and Taruc.
Taruc surrendered to the gov
eminent Of President EIpidio oui-
rino on June q, 1913, and was
granted amnesty. But two weeks
later, he again fled to his noun
tain hideouts, denouncing the
ouirinO government.
This was followed BY six years
Of bloody fighting between the

Devotion To
God Stressed

BY eEoRen n. coRNRkL

~ GEORGE W. GQNN8kk
EVANSTON, III. N-A summing
up message from the World Coun-
eli of Churches today proclaimed
TO all who win listen" that OGly
devotion to God can conquer the
fears and powers ef evil'' that
plague the earth.
In its keystone message, he
councils historic assembly de-
ciared that mankind's search Scg
freedom, justice and peace Is
doomed to defeat unless men turn
nom our ways to Gods way"
Nothing other than God can
ever satisfy the heart q mas, |"
the message said. "ForgettinK this,
man becomes his own enemy. He
seeks justice, but creates oppfes-
sion.
''He wants peace but drifts %.
wards war. His very mastery q
nature threatens him with rsiin.
Whether he acknowledges Il or not,
he stands under the judgment Of
God and under the shadow Of
earth"
The 1,O0O-word message, counted
the cardinal document Of the II.
day world Christian gathering,
came as the assembly moved 10.
ward its final sessions today.
It declared that God, In Jesus
Christ, Is ''the hope 81 the work. !,
And It said that 'ohly at the
cross Of Christ" can men find the
answer to the :'fear and dlSsrusk
which ct present divide our world. |"
1T is there that Christians must
pray daily for their enemiea,' = the
message said. 1T Is there that We
must seek deliverance from aelE.
righteousness, impatienee and fear.
"And those who know that Christ
is risen should have the courage
to expect new power to break
through every human barrier"
The message affirmed the deter
mination Of the councils les de-
nominations in - nations to seek
greater unity TO strengthen their
faith. It said:
1--WE enter now upon second
stage. To stay together is not
enough. We must 50 forward. As
we learn more Of our unity in
Christ, it becomes the more intol-
cradle that we should be divided. "
The message said 1--WE long ar
IDENTIFY for the Fellowship Of the
churches not belonging to the eoun-
Gil. The two largest ones are the
Southern Baptist and Roman Cath
ollie Churches.
And to its individual eongrega-
tons, with some 40 million mem
beers, the council put some soul
searching questions. Among them:
Does your church speak and act
against injustices which have sub.
jected people in many lands to
hunger, need and oppression?
Does your church act against
segregation and Discrimination as
contrary to the viii Of God?
Does your congregation ''live for
itself or work hard "a make
Christ known to others?
DB you forgive one another As
Christ foTgave you?
The assembly yesterday also:
l. Voiced its grave concern
regarding religious liberty ii
several lands, and RECOMMENDED
appeals TO authorities and prayer
N behalf Of all those suffering
from persecution and Repression. "
2. Urged prohibition Of nuclsSr
weapons Of mass destruction, with
provisions for international control
and inspections to safeguard each
nations security, together with
overall arms reductions.

Controversial Question On
Ex-POW TOBe Decided Today
~ WILLIAM {. BARNARD

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. u 8 An
official in the court-martial trial
of Cpl. Claude Bachelor must de-
eide today this controversial ques-
ton:
Did the Army promise immunity
from prosecution to the corporal Il
he would return to the Allied side
after deciding to stay with the
Communists in Korea?
Bachelors attorneys contend
that such immunity was promised
and have moved, therefore, that all
charges against him be dropped.
The Army has maintained it
never promised immunity for ac-
tons Of POWs while they were
prisoners Of the enemy in Korea.
1t. Col. Donald L. Names, Jr.,
law officer or Judge" In the court
martial, must rule whether Batch
eIor should be freed. The trial
opened at IT. Sam Houston here
yesterday.
Bachelor, captured by the Com
munists IN Korea, was one Of an
original group Of q Americans
who decided not to come back.
While In Indian custody at Pam
mumjom, Korea, last Jan. /, he
changed his mind and returned TO
the Allied side.
It. Col. Kerlin J. Bragdon, de-
tense attorney, said the Army
made . loud-speaker broadcast At
Panmumjom Dec. q to persuade
Bachelor and other unrepatriated
Americans they would not be pun
ished If they returned.
To this contention, Bragdon peg
ged his formal motion for dismis-
sal Of all charges.
Il. Col. Francis r. Boyles, the
trial counsel or prosecutor, argued
that no immunity was promised.
Bachelors mother was in the
small, crowded courtroom as the
trial opened. Bachelor, a, Of Kerr
nit, Tex, is charged with colla-
bcrating with the enemy and with
informing on his fellow prisoners.
He has been a prisoner Of the
Army since he was arrested March
S, shortly after returning to the
United States.
Every officer Of the eight-mem-
Der eourt-martial panel Is a be-
medaled veteran Of the war in
Korea. President or foreman"
is Col. Charles w. StrattOn, 81,
now stationed with the Artillery
School Command at Fl. Sill, Okla.
Joel Westbrook, defense lawyer,
revealed to reporters yesterday he
was waiting to see whether the
Army win meet his request to
bring Cpl. Edward s. Dickinson of
Big Stone Gap, Va. to San Antonio
as q witness.
Dickinson was the only one Of
the original group Of unrepatriated
American soldiers, besides Batch
eIor, to decide to return to the
Allied side. He was given q court
martial on charges similar to those
against Bachelor. In May he was
convicted and sentenced to 10 years
at hard labor.
Westbrook said he felt Dickinson
would be 4 hostile witness but
wanted him to testify in order to
bring out certain facts.
