Mrs. Moss Again
Denies Charge

WASHINGTON - The Annie
Lee Moss Case was suddenly re-
opened this week as the Army
claimed it had no charges
against the shy, quiet-spoken
middle-aged woman, who stated
most emphatically at her first
hearing that she had never
been a Communist. Then she
won the sympathy of the ma
ton in her troubles as publ
cized by Senator Joseph Nc
earthly and was eventually
cleared.
This time the Army says it's
major new charge against Mrs.
Moss consists of report that
she had been given Commu-
mist Party membership book, No.
from her 1885 clerk job again
ton along with six other major
charges has caused the govern
ment worker to be suspended
from her 53335 clesrk job again
without pay though she is al
lowed 80 days with which to
file answers to the charges.
Immediately her attorney
George E. c. Hayes, said that
in general the latest charges
against Mrs. Moss are the same
as before, wherein she was COM
pletely cleared. He admitted
that one or two new details
such as the book number had
been added. Mrs. Moss stated
that she will deny under oath
the latest charges and that she
and her attorney have started
to draw up the formal answe.
which she must prepare if she
wants hearing.
The Army charges that Mrs.
Moss lied when she said on an
application form that she had
never been discharged from
Government Services, Inc, on
November 10, 1914. On this
point personnel director A.
MacGregor Aver has told re-
porters that there was nothing
in his files to indicate she was
fired, only letter that she had
voluntarily resigned"
Other charges include. RE
portedly, prior to November
1912. you Joined the Communist
Party of the District and were
assigned to the Northeast Club
You reported to the Communist
Party District on March %
1914, and were entered on the
membership rolls of the Com
munist Political Association in
the summer Of "A. Repeatedly
consistent with Communist poI-
icy, your name was dropped
from membership rolls when
you became a Federal employee
1t is reliably reported that in
the period from approximately
1912 to 1e49, you were not ex-
PEELED by the Communist Party
and did not break with the
party

A TRIBUTE
By Joseph w. ..ouston

The climax of the conference
and successful achievements Of
Mrs. Mary Church Terrell is a
specimen reflection of the bene-
hts of education, the finess of
culture and the unselhshness
of her deotion to interracial
service. Her untiring endeavors
should be an inspiration to all
to strive for the more abundant
lie that can be fully enjoyed
IT. a clear refreshing atn1os-
phere of liberty, opportunity
and justice for all.
Her life will erect for poster
lily, a monument built of co,r-
age, determination and dignity
TO stand in full view to COM
memorate the stirling sacraficisI
efforts OF one woman who dared
and succeeded.
The best tribute that can be
rendered her relentless struggle
for unlimited exercise of fran
else and equality will be to
emulate her noble example
Each and everyone of us denti-
ned with the race she loved
and fought for should live up
TO the tenets of her creed: That
honor, respect liberty and JUS
tlce know no color nor racial
distinction but rather to COM
plete the equation humanity
Mrs. Terrell never changed
her course which she diligently
pursued to attain the achieve
ments which her modesty would
blushinf1y conceal but her out
standing deeds have universally
revealed. Her name may be
forgotten but her deeds can
never be erased.

High Points In Church Life
BY REV. VERNON E. CARTER
Pastor First Congregational Methodist Church
What Is The EcumenicaL Movement

, resentatives elected at the world
conferences of oxford and Ed
inburgh Cl93D elaborated plans
for World Council which were
formally ratified at the World
Assembly held in Amsterdam
/ in 1948. The basic doctrines of
/ these denominations are not
very different. There are GER
/ tain questions for which every
/ Christian has the same answer
and these same Christians have
found that unity in acting on
these basic questions will be
more effective in combating
the evils Of our times. Insomuch
as the unity is not uniformity
the whole driving force behind
the Ecumenical Movement is
spiritual. Christ prayed four
times for one thing that they
all be one" The meeting in
Evanston, Ill, is the second such
meeting in the history Of the
world.
For the individual church
member this movement means
an extended horizon, an en-
larged vision Of a wide land
scape, at once diversified and
harmonious. A wall has crun1-
bled and new land is spread
out before the eyes of us all.
The World Council has sent
tons of clothing and food to.
help people and Christian in
stitutions through the after
math of war. 1t has held help
tul Institutes on world wide
scale. Youth camps and refugee
conferences have done much in
goodwill relations. The Council
has given the U. N. the as
surance Of moral backing OF
Christians of many lands. In
closing I would like to say to
the reading public that the
Ecumenical Movement should
be studied more as there is
much to learn about it.
Rev. Carter will preach at the
Cathedral of the Pines this sun
day morning at II am. Also
Rev. Carter will broadcast his
Sunday Fellowship Meditations
at 10 pm. Sunday, August %,

that proposals have been re-
ceived by City of Boston Public
Works Commissioner, George c..

Work is about to start on the

The Boston School Commit
tee has voted favorably for the
installation of f1oodlightS on
the playyard Of the Lewis
School for roller skating, bas-
ketball, dancing, and other out
door projects during summer
evenings. This will help to
make possible the continuation
of Friday evening dances at
very low price of admission in
order to cover operating ex-
penses for the dance.
Other worthwhile projects for
community improvement are
receiving close attention of the
various committees of the Rox-
bury Citizens Committee, and
will be reported to the public
as soon as results materialize.

COMMITTEE

There is an organized defini-
ton of the Ecumenical Move
ment which I will give you fur
Their along in this discussion.
Ecumenicity is a spiritual
movement. It is not simply a
movement to bring all denom-
nations of the Christian faith
under one organized banner
such as a super church" 1t
does not have any jurisdiction
over the church bodies aSsoci-
ated with it This is a brief
idea why such an organization
has to be a spiritual movement.
The various Christian demon
nations began with great spir-
itual enthusiasm but as the
rough work leveled o to a
smooth organization, the spir-
itusl enthusiasm died down.
Many denominations became
over organized or top heavy
with systems and regulations.
In the midst of great periods
Of. pessimism and doubt the
Christian denominations found
themselves wanting. The Ecu
menical Movement brought to-
gether all the various church
groups and gave them a chance
to examine each other spiritu-
ally W t h u t superfiuous |
weights. AS a result Of this spir- |
itual movement the Local |
Council, State Council and |
World Council of Churches were
organized These Councils en-
brace the whole household of i
Christian faith, all races, all
nations, all branches of the
Church itself throughout the
world.
The main expression of nu-
menical Movement is found in
the World Council of Churches
in Evanston, H., start
ing this Sunday, August IS,
1854. One hundred and sixty |
one member churches (denom- |
inations) in 48 countries on ev-
cry continent comprise the
World Council of Churches. |
Thirty-one of these churches
denominations are in the U.
s. A. The number of Church
members involved amount to
approximately Is million.
The World Council Of Church
es was organized at the World |
Assembly held in Amsterdam,
Holland, in August, 1948. The
sense of need for working uni
ty grew out of the missionary
movement which, under God,
has planted the Church in ev-
cry nation. The idea of a world
fellowship Of Churches took
concrete form at two ecumeni-
cal conferences: Life and
Work" stockholm, 1929 and
Faith and Order" lausanne,
1920. At Utrecht, in 1898, rep
