Christian leaders in many
parts of the free world are be-
ginning to feel real concern over
the troubled lot of foreign mis-
sionaries in India.
The plight of the missionaries
Is not a new one. Agitation
against their presence has been
carried on by ultra-nationalists
and Hindu extremists ever since
India gained her independence
in 1947.
At first, Christian leaders in
India largely chose to ignore
the agitation. Most realized that
some reaction against foreigners
was inevitable in the first flush
of liberty. And they felt secure
in the conviction that the Indian
government was in the hands Of
men determined to preserve
human freedoms.
But in recent months the at
tacks on Christians and their
culture have grown to alarming
proportions. Hindu nationalist
are pressing their campaign with
greater intensity. And church.
men feel the Indian government
is showing little inclination to
curb them.
In the opinion Of the National
Christian Council of India, un-
warranted suspicion toward for
eign missionaries has reached a
point where it undermines pub
lie confidence in their education
al, social and humanitarian
work"
Native Clergy Inadequate
If the Councils estimate of the
situation is correct, it is grave
business for the Indian churches.
which still suffer an inadequate
native clergy and must depend
on help from outside.
Non-Christian leaders in India
frequently have acknowledged
the important educational, med
ical and social welfare work done
by foreign missionaries. This
work has won many friends for
Christianity. If its Indian critics
succeed in destroying public trust
In these activities. the churches
will have lost a major battle.
There are Christian spokes-
men who say bluntly that the
churches can afford to lose no
more battles. If Christianity can
not flourish in free India, they
reason, how much chance does
it have of reaching other mill
lions of Asians whose hopes and
fears and needs will play major
role In deciding the future course
of human history?
The National Christian Coun-
ellis complaint was contained in
a 4.000-word statement which
defended the sending of mission
ares from one country TO an
other as essential to the church's
existence.
The council attributed the agi-
tation against missionaries to "a
religious and cultural reaction"
that seeks to identify national
culture with Hindu culture.
New Curbs on Entry
Indirectly the council state
ment was reply to new gov
eminent restrictions on the entry
and work of foreign missionaries.
These regulations, announced
In April, are largely formaliza-
ton of practices that have been
growing UP quietly over the past
year.
Under them missionaries seek
ing entry must apply for a spe-

Milk by Gallon
Ban Affirmed

RICHMOND. Va. April 20
Especially The State Milk Com
mission says it is powerless to
permit the sale of milk in gallon
jugs in the Old Dominion.
Answering inquiries from
Northern Virginia about sale of
milk in gallon lots in the Wash
ington area, the three commits
sioners declared yesterday that
the States weights and measures
laws prohibit such sales.
Chairman Mark Turner said
he didn't think the commission
could set a price on a container
not authorized by law.
Most of the big chain outlets
in Washington are selling four
quart-size containers of milk for
70 cents. One chain has been
selling four quarts for SO cents.
This followed a decision by one
firm that began offering milk in
gallon jugs at IA cents.

The board deferred action
pending an interview with Mr..

he identified as Fred Dunn, now

The superintendent, in dis
cussing school housing problems,
unveiled details Of a proposed
experiment in school building
which he said was originated by
County Manager M. L. Reese.
An architect has been instruct
ed to prepare the scheme for a
new school in which health and
welfare facilities. q library and
a recreation setup would be made
an integral part of the school
plant.
This arrangement would elm
mate some county rentals for

plan will be studied by the

the program neither feasible nor

She drew the only applause
Of the evening from the audience.

that we're dealing with q hui
man right and not the conven-
fence Of the Montgomery County

gested the board set target

Wayne Birdsell said he was in
favor OF intesration "as fast as
possible"
Despite these declarations, no
resolution for indignation this
September was presented. This
gave support to reports that the
board was split, 4-3, on pushing
for an immediate Indignation
program.
The board approved planning
for three phases Of integration

moved" and heard Supt. of
