American churchmen are be-

over what they regard as dan

alism and a trend toward con-
formity of thought in the United
States.
In the past week, both Prot

ers have spoken out against this
! trend.
: In Chicago, 10000 delegates to
the annual convention of the Ma
tional Catholic Educational As
sociation adopted a resolution
attacking conformity in think

The Catholic school officials
warned that "the striving for
unity in American democratic
society is interpreted by some as
requiring uniformity of thought
and attitudes IN our youth"

Catholic schools should resist
conformity in thought which
aims to standardize our attitudes.

Boards division of educational
institutions.
Traces Growth of Trend.
In a report to the board. DR..
Gross traced the rise of an anti
intellectual movement which he
said was gaining momentum by
casting suspicion on educational
institutions and insinuating that
they are not loyal to our Gov
ernment." He added:
TT suspects teachers and
makes all sorts of unreasonable
and unjustified charges against
them and their work. 1t de-
precates scholastic achievements
and questions the value of edu-
Gated people in society.
THE right Of free inquiry and
free discussion, upon which all
sound education is dependent. is
being openly challenged in many
places"
DR.. Gross said the Church
agreed generally that its schools
should not furnish a podium
for q Communist" But he.
recommended that Methodists
reiterate their conviction that
sound educational practices "re-
quire freedom for the scholar to
search for truth"
IS Attack McCarthyism.
Shortly after DIR. Gross warn
ing, 35 prominent Protestant
leaders made an attack on
"McCarthyiSm" which also
warned against the evils Of con-
formity.
The statement was the first
official act Of the group as mem
bers of a newly-formed advisory
council to Christian Action, ma
tional social action organization
founded in 1851.
Among the signers were five
active and retired Protestant
Episcopal bishops, two Meth
odist bishops, ministers of vari-
GUS denominations, college and
theological seminary presidents,
deans, professors and prominent
lay men and women.
The Protestant leaders, who
called McCarthyism, a greater

they said had resulted from
the whole trend of which Sem
ator Mccarthy is partly cause
and partly symptom"
Among these effects, they de-
clared, was the creation of an
atmosphere in which many
people are fearful of dissenting
from the opinions of those in
position to bring great pressure
on the community as a whole. "
The statement also charged
that McCarthyism was dividing
the American people, feeding the
forces of extreme nationalism
and fostering a totalitarian
mentality"
