The Week in Religion
By Religious News Service

From Alexandria. Egypt. this
week comes a report of a signifi-
cant development in Christian
Moslem relations.
1t is the proposed formation
Of a World Fellowship Of Mos
lens and Christians. Formal es-
tablishment of the organization
is scheduled for 1856 at an in
ternational conyocation to be
held in Spain, Switzerland or
PakiStan.
Detailed plans, including a
constitution, were worked out by
IA Christians and like number
of Moslems at the Alexandria
meeting. The leaders of the two
faiths constitute a Continuing
Committee of Moslem-Christian
Cooperation which was organ
lied last April in Bhamdoun,
Lebanon.
Grass Roots Movement.
Backers of the organization
expect that local Christian-Mos-
lem groups will be set up in cities
and towns all over the world.
The aim is to make it a grass
roots movement, not gathering
of the spiritual and intellectual
leaders of the two religions.
Both individual membership
and affiliated membership by
religious groups is provided for
in the constitution.
The fellowship is slated to
have two headquarters, one in
Egypt, the other in the United
States. And North Americans
played prominent part in blue
printing it.
The Continuing Committee
elected DR.. Ernest Marshall
Howse, minister of Bloor Street
United Church, Toronto, Canada
! Christian co-chairman to serve
until organization of the Eel
lowship next year.
Other sional officers
chosen are Sheikh Mohammec
Bahjat el-Bittar, professor at the
Syrian University in Damascus
Moslem co-chairman; DR.. Gar.
land Evans Hopkins, executive
vice president of the American
Friends of the Middle East
Christian co-secretary general
and DR.. Mohammed Khalafallah
dean of the college of arts. Alex
andria University, Moslem CO.
secretary general.
Spadework Needed.
DR.. Howse said he felt The
World Fellowship might become
one of the great movements Of
the future.
No responsible religious leader
doubts, however, that there is 9
great deal of spadework to b.
done before Moslem- Christian
relations can be firmly estab'
lished on the level desired.
DR.. Howse acknowledged thai
the centuries-old misunder'
standing between the two re-
ligions was being continued ever
today.
But he maintained that thu
quarrel was not between
Christianity and Islam but be
tween Christian and Moslem in
dividuals.
Americans Take Part.
A number of Americans tool

given dominion over the bondage
of fear will be brought out at
Christian Science services Sunday.
The Lesson-Sermon entitled PRO
baton after Death" will include
the following from the King
James Version of the Bible (He-
brews 2:9, 15): But we see Jesus,
who was made a little lower than
the angels for the suffering of
death, crowned with glory and
honour; that he by the grace of
God should taste death for every
man. And deliver them who
through fear of death were all
their lifetime subject to bondage"
Among the correlative passages to
be read from Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures by
Mary Baker Eddy is the following
(426:16): when it is learned that
disease cannot destroy life, and
that mortals are not saved from
sin or sickness by death, this un-
derstanding will quicken into new
ness of life. It will master either
a desire to die or a dread of the
grave, and thus destroy the great
fear that besets mortal existence.

A Senate Judiciary subcommit-
tee studying the Bricker amend
ment to curb treaty-making
powers decided today to hear
testimony only from witnesses
who already have asked to be
heard.
There are 81 of them. and
Chairman Kefauver, Democrat.
Of Tennesse said hearings will
be held next Tuesday and
Wednesday. Any persons max
ing future requests will be asked
simply to submit a statement, he
said.
Although opposed to the
amendment. Senator Kefauver
has emphasized that he will not
support any effort to bottle it
up in committee.
His statement about bringing
the hearings to a close was made
after Attorney General BroWnell
reiterated to the subcommittee
the Eisenhower Administrators
opposition to the constitutional
change proposed by Senator
Bricker. Republican. Of Ohio.
"It would place unwarranted
and dangerous limitations on the
treaty making power Of the
United States and on the con-
stitutional powers Of the Presi-
dent in the conduct of our foreign
relations" Mr.. Brownell said
yesterday.

eral functions and transferring
them to private industry. re-
sardlesS Of cost. The policy has
resulted IN the loss of thousands
of Federal jobs and could mean
the dismissal Of many more
Government workers.
The committee, which con-
trolls the purse-strings of Fed
eral agencies along with the
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee, declared:
Attention of the committee
has been directed toward
plans within the Defense De-
partment for the disposal or
transfer by contract or otherwise
to contract operations of the
work traditionally performed by
civilian personnel of the Defense
Department.
"The committee recognizes
that there may be circumstances
which make contract operation
more desirable than continual
tons Of work by civilian per-
sonnel within the department.
I'm some instances, this. how
ever, represents a radical de-
parture from established custom
and it Is conceivable that con-
tract operations could, if carried
to extremes, result in a loss of
trained personnel and know-how
within the departments with the
dispersal Of tools and facilities,
and result in an actually greater
cost to the Government over a
period of years.
Particularly this would be
true in the event of sudden
emergency which would require
rapid expansion of 'on-base' ac-
tivities.
"The committee has no desire
to hamper legitimate transferral
of governmental activities to
private business where it can
proberly be shown that this is
economically sound and that
the related services can be per-
formed by contract without
danger to national security.
In view, however. of the Gov
ernment'S great investment in
it's own shops and facilities and
the krlow-how of its civilian per-.
sonnel and because of this COM
mittee's responsibility in the
matter of appropriations. it is
felt that justification of trans
fers before the appropriate COM
mittees of Congress is proper
before the transfers take place"
PAY-Several top Republican
members of Congress privately
say President Eisenhower will
veto the 8.8 per cent postal pay
Redistribution bill when it
reaches him next week. Cong
gresS is due to give final approval
to the bill on Monday.
Despite the Presidents state
ment at his press conference on
wednesday that he had not pre-
dicted a veto and that he has
not made up his mind, these
Republicans say the President
could hardly have said anything
else under the circumstances.

To Call II Witnesses

Mr.. Eisenhower said he was
perfectly willing" to have an
amendment saying that any

In conflict with the Constitution
should be Of no force or effect.
but he said he would 60 no
further.
Senator Bricker's amendment
would go beyond this to provide
that any treaty or other inter-
national agreement would be-
come effective as domestic law
only through enactment Of legis-
lation valid In the absence OF
such treaty or agreement.
Mr.. Brownell said he fully sup
ports the Presidents position, al
though he testified he regards as
unnecessary an amendment say
ing any treaty or executive agree
merit In conflict with the Consti-
tuition shall be void.
Court Rulings Cited
He said the Supreme Court has
repeatedly affirmed the suprem-
acy of the Constitution over
treaties and international agree
mentS.
Senator Kefauver wouldn't
guess how soon his subcommittee
might act on the Bricker amend
ment, but he told newsmen he
thinks some proposal" will reach

He added, however, that my

DEFENSE DEP ARTMENT-
The House Appropriation COM
mittee's action on the 1856
Defense Departments money re-
quests would just about give the
defense agencies the number of
civilian employees they requested.
The present Defense Depart
ment civilian employment OF
1882 900 would be trimmed by
1000 by June 80, 1855, for a
new total of LII. 900.
The Army's number of civilian
personnel would be trimmed by
$4,000, while the Navy's number
of civilian employees would be re-
duced by 5000. Offsetting this
somewhat would be an increase
of 1000 civilian employees in the
Air Force Department.
Defense officials said the rela-
lively minor reductions in Army
and Navy Departments can be
taken care of through attrition-
not filing some of the normal
personnel vacancies that occur
each year. They said dismissals
would not be necessary.

trimmed 100000 below the cur
rent appropriations for the De-
fense Departments Office of In
formation, declaring that the
unit could get along with less
