echelons Of the administration
will be further facilitated by
the fact that Congress is adj

Thus the loud opposition to

be muted.
There is no question that
some policy makers in the
State Department, including
Secretary Dulles, are aware Of
the great danger which faces
the free world from the
ascendancy in world af-
fairs Of the USSR and Com
munist China, achieved merely
by changing their frowns to
smiles. But they feel helpless
in the face Of the determine
ton Of our allies in Europe to
liquidate as quickly as possible
everything that stands in the
way of full resumption Of
trade with the countries be-
hind the Iron Curtain. And
their willfulness has strongly
affected President Eisenhower's
White House foreign policy
advisers, who in many cases
are more influential than the
Secretary Of State himself.
THE USSR is q land OF
unlimited possibilities" wrote
Joseph Goebbels in his diary
in 1912. "The dividing line
between Europe and Asia has
been drawn arbitrarily. Some
parts of Asia will at some time
be Joined to Europe. That Lew
political-economic mass will
then have to settle scores with
the United States" The Nazi
propaganda chief may not have
realized how prophetically he
spoke. But the contour Of q
firm Chinese Russian bloc. to
which may eventually be added
a Germany neutral Of her own
free will. is definitely taking
shape.

The report said:
The State structure Of edu.

Over the years certain

Second Lutheran Cleric
To Face Heresy TrioI

MILWAUKEE,, Aug. 2 R.-
The liberal interpretations given
the doctrine Of his church have
brought another young suburban
Milwaukee minister face to face
with q charge Of heresy.
The Rev. John Gerberding. 50,
must stand q formal church trial
on specific counts Of doctrinal
deviation. an investigations COM
mittee Of the Northwest Synod.
United Lutheran Church, voted
unanimously last night.
Mr.. Gerberding. whose church
is at Menomonee Falls, sat with
and tried to aid the losing de-
tense Of the Rev. George Crist.
|jr.. Of Durham. who was con-
victed Of similar charges At q
two-day trial last week.
Mr.. Crisis suspension from his
pulpit was recommended. and
DR.. Paul E. Bishop Of Mime
apolis, who headed the investi-
eating committee. said ofiicial
suspension was only q matter Of
time.
Cases to Be Reviewed
The cases will be reviewed by
the synod conference in Mil
waukee next May. with penalty
set at that time. It might range
from O rebuke to custer from
the Lutheran ministry.
Action OF the synodical COM
mittee last night came after
Mr.. Gerberding was questioned
five hours on the nature Of his
beliefs. He told newsmen he
was prepared to discuss with
authorities the manner In which
Scriptures might be read.
Like Mr.. Crist. he denied that
"the Bible must be received
in a very exact and precise
way" and declared that the
Lutheran Church has mo cut
and-dried manner for receiving
the Scriptures.
DR.. Bishop, who declared be-
fore the committee decided Mr..
Gerberding must stand trial
that I'VE are not trying to find
fault but we are trying to recon-
cile the belief of this pastor
with what the church believes, u
said after the vote that the
church trial must be called
within 30 days.
1t probably will be held here
about the end Of August, he said.
Aid to Be Decided
DR.. Bishop also said that the

reasonable to the Red Chinese
to release them Just before the
Geneva talks on Far Eastern
affairs rather than afterwards.
It would look TO the world like
a "unilateral" act. Thus the
two ambassadors who met in
Switzerland In the early part
Of this week had only the ques-
ton of captured American
civilians and "other practical
matters" to discuss.
Plainly. under these circum-
stances. the United States
couldn't turn away from talks
on any subject once the con-
ference has begun. AS one ON
cial put it. 1--WE can listen, but
we don't have to agree to any
thing"
The tangible thing. how
ever. is that the Red Chi
nese have made q sensational
move and have given the ap-
pearance Of great friendliness.
The United States Govern
ment is, therefore, compelled
by world opinion to listen to
arguments on the whole Far
Eastern problem. This is what
the British and French gov.
ernments want-in fact,
they're ready to abandon the
500. 000-man army of Chang
Kai-shek and surrender For
mosa to the Red Chinese.
The big question is whether
the United States has been
unanswered through the use
Of the imprisoned flyers into
q position where America will
be accused Of obstructing
peace In the Far East unless
1t lets Red China have some
thing in exchange for its ex-
hibition OF alleged humane
tarianism. The airmen, Of
course, never should have
been kept in prison after the
signing Of the Panmunjom
agreement. which pledged the
return Of all prisoners Of war.
What ransom" will Amer
lea pay in the long run for
the release Of the IL airmen?
That's q question the answer
to which only future events
will reveal. It was a "unilat-
eral" act for the Red Chinese
TO- release them. What "uni-
lateral" act is coming next
from the American Govern
lnent? That's the real issue
now.

the Mccarthy resolution de-
signed to tie the Presidents

OF Senator McCarthy's Repub-

% Republicans who stood by
him last November, when the

tor Knowland parted company
with Senator Mccarthy on the

AS for Geneva, 1t was a Dem
ocrat, the venerable Senator
Walter F. George of Georgia,
Foreign Relations Committee
chairman, who promoted that
venture which Republicans say
and D e m ocrats generally
agree - is perhaps productive
of the most political value of

bassador Wang started. Mr..
Johnson who has been away
from Washington for 10
months in Prague, received a
thorough briefing during his
short stay here. And China's
air power. provided by the
USSR. is said Ito have
entered into the briefing by
his superiors. According to
some informed sources here,
the negotiations, which are
the only concrete results Of
the Summit" conference, will
take place In a pistol point"
atmosphere.
The Chinese Communists
are expected to be as smiling
at Geneva as the Russians but
even more determined to gain
their ends. These can be
summed up as: Immediate pos
session of the Nationalist
held offshore islands; partial
withdrawal of the 7th Fleet
from the Formosa Strait:
recognition of the Red regime
by the United States; and q
place in the United Nations.
Besides the direct support
OF the User. Peiping Is as
sured Of the moral support Of
Great Britain and France.
Americas alleged principal
allies in the struggle against
world communism. AS q matter
OF fact, it was Prime Minister
Eden who at the Geneva
meeting last month threw his
whole weight behind the Rus
sian proposal for direct Amer
ican-Chinese Communist par
leys and carried the day.
AS in 1854 when we went to
Berlin to discuss with the Rus
slams only the German and
Austrian problems and ended
by agreeing to a conference
on Indo- China at Geneva, the
latest conference of the Big
-Four ended with smiles and
no tangible results on the
European and arms limitation
problems. But it brought us
once more face to face with
the willy Chinese Communists
in "jinxed" Geneva.
Our appeasement Of Red
China Is expected to take place
in stages. This explains the
super-secrecy imposed by the
State Department on Ambas-
sador Johnson's negotiations
with Wang. There will be much
popular rejoicing In the coun-
try when the news comes after
the liberation Of the IL airmen
that the rest of the Americans
detained in China are to be
freed. Such Concessions" are
