The administration is greatly

Church Exchange PIon
OF U. S., Soviet Praised

DR.. Eugene Carson Blake, pres
ident of the National Council of
Churches, today declared that the
two-way visit Of American and
Russian church leaders was "out-
standingly successful"
DR.. Blake, speaking at the
quarterly meeting of the councils
General Board in the Willard
Hotel then outlined four steps
the council can take on a future
program concerning religious
bodies in the United States and
Russia.
He first said that many of the
future activities should be car
lried on not by the council but
by church bodies-Lutheran to
Lutheran Church, Episcopal to
Episcopal Church, Methodist to
Methodist Church and so on.
I'm one sense the National
Council of Churches has finished
its part" DR.. Blake said. THE
two-way visit was a service the
council could do for ussin the
initial stagess but from the point
of view of the council emphasis
should now naturally be between
churches of similar understand
ing and background and faith"
The other points he listed as
follows:
l. The council can help by
participating in the planning
stages Of specialized exchanges
between people of each country
in certain categories, such as
teachers, youth groups and
theological students.
2. The council can help in an
increase in mutual and COM
mon prayer for each other
which is to be expected as one
Iof the relationships between the
churches in both countries.
3. The council can help in
correspondence. and book ex-
changes bearing on theological
and other common problems Of
the churches in the two coun-
tries.
The 250-member board is
composed of official Represent
atives, lay and clerical, of 30
Protestant and Orthodox church
bodies constituting the council.

Graham Sees
Relations of
Races Worse

NEW YORK. Sept. 81 (P.-
Evangelist Billy Graham say.
most of the South's Negro anC
white ministers agree that race
relations are worse now than they
were two years ago"
And, said Mr.. Graham, most
Iof the clergymen confessed that
the church is doing far too little
about it,"
Writing in the current issue OF
Life magazine, Mr.. Graham said
he came to that conclusion
after discussing indignation with
Southern ministers of all de-
nominations.
The evangelist said he also be-
lieved that the majority of
Southern clergymen do not hold
extremist views on the integra-
ton issue.
Most of them feel" he wrote,
that segregation should be
ended now on buses, in railroad
and bus stations. hotels and in
restaurants.
However. most of them feel
it is far too early to implement
school indignation in some Sec
tons of the Deep South.
They seem to feel that the
day will come when both races
will be psychologically and spir-
itually ready for it, but that the
time has not come yet"
While many misconceptions
about indignation exist, Mr..
Graham said, there are many
real difficulties" to be solved.

The council yesterday voted
to set up a special committee to

by American churches on the
relief needs of an estimated /

came homeless when Israel was
created in 1913.

litical gains" he declared. The
new flexible price support pro-
gram, Mr.. Benson added, will
lead toward "a prosperous. free
agriculture"
Mr.. Benson said one Of the
principal aims Of the Admin
istration in farm policy has been
ITO get out of the storage bust
ness" which has cost the Gov
eminent 81 million a day.
We're moving surpluseS into
consumption by selling them,
bartering them and giving them
away" Mr.. Benson said. Farm
product experts. excluding cot
ton, are now the highest in 80
years, he noted.

bers. Louisiana ranked first, with

second with 1878 per cent; the
District third. with 80.6 per cent;
Rhode Island fourth, with 1913
per cent, and Mississippi fifth
with 1876 per cent.
The statement covers the first
portion of a detailed study that
eventually will give denomina-
tional information on church af-
flliation by counties throughout
the country. 1t was released yes
terday by DR.. Lauris B. Whit
man of New York. executive di-
rector of the National Council
OF Church's bureau of research
and survey. and DR.. Glen w.
Trimble of New York, field re-
search director of the council
bureau.
First in 20 Years
THE Nation has had nothing
like it since 1886 when the CEN
sus of religious bodies was taken
by the United States Bureau of
Census" DR.. Whitman said in
releasing the report. mo similar
comprehensive study has been
made in the 20-year interim"
DR.. Whitman pointed out this
was not census, since the COM
pilation and analysis were based
on figures provided by ia reli-
gious bodies. The figures given
are for 1852 since statistics for
that year were the latest avail
able at the beginning of the
study, he explained.
The data submitted by the
ia bodies covers 74,l25.462
members in 1886 churches.
The total membership of Isl
religious bodies listed in the
1858 Yearbook of American
Churches is 92,277.129 in 285, PIT.
Inability to obtain statistics
from Negro, Eastern Orthodox
and some loosely organized"
churches counts for their
omission. the report stated.
THE absence of the very large
block of Negro members in the
present study is its greatest sim
gle kneSs," it admitted.
There are, of course, a con-
siderable number of Negro
churches and of Negro mem
bers in non-segregated churches
reported by the ia participating
religious bodies"
The latter is one reason why

District is difficult to Substan-
tiate. For example, there are
seven Episcopal churches in the
District having a colored bap-
tized membership of $3.50. There
are three Presbyterian Church,
u. S. A.. congregations having
500 members, and an estimated
5000 MethodiSts in Central
Jurisdiction churches here. Be-
cause these denominations are
predominantly white, these mem
berS have been counted among
their adherents in the survey.
In 1896, the census reported
that 43 per cent of District resi-
dents were church members. But
this census included colored as
well as white persons. And it
might be pointed out that the
current estimate of approx
mately As per cent colored in
the total District population for
1856 was much lower 20 years
ago. Today. the round figure Of
100000 District residents is gen.
orally used. with the white popu-
lation being about ACT, 500.
States having the lowest per-
centages of church members are
Oregon, 1872 per cent: Washing
ton. 34.6 per cent; Nevada, 4O.2
per cent. and West Virginia, 43
per cent.
Protestant Majority
According to the survey, SO
states are listed as predominant
ly Protestant and IL as having
a majority of Roman Catholic
Church members. But. with the
exception of Rhode Island, the
total number of Catholics in any
state is less than so per cent
of the population. In Rhode
Island, about so per cent of the
1850 population figure was re-
ported affiliated with the Roman
Catholic Church.
Conversely, in 10 of the SO
states having a Protestant
majority. its members account
for more than so per cent of
the population.
On the basis of the ia
religious bodies reporting, Pro-
testants have SO per cent of the
total church membership, Ro-
man Catholics 40 per cent. jew
iSh constituents 6 per cent and
Eastern Orthodox churches per
cent.

MARY MARGARET
MCBRIDE
For 1856, Let's Not Conform

Now that everybody has had
fun picking the man of the
year. I'd like to nominate for
some kind of honors Richard
Dietrich, a.. who in 1955-to
my mind-best brought to the
fore a pressing problem of our
times.
Mr.. Dietrich, his wife and
year-old son. about a week be-
fore Christmas. moved into
rented quarters in a section Of
New. York City where all the
little houses are alike. Mrs.
Dietrich had found the place,
the family went there by cab.
Then Mr.. Dietrich stepped out
to buy groceries. Afterwards he
tried to go home but couldn't
find the house.
When I last heard, three
days had passed and he was
still wandering from door to
door searching for his new
abode. I am sure by now he
has at least reached the police,
II not Mrs. Dietrich and the
little one. But. wherever he is

peas-in-the-pod dwellings and
the likelihood of getting in the

householder, after a convivial
evening has actually been
known to stagger through his

william furnished two identical
side-by-side houses in exactly
the same way so he could per-
petrate his foul deed in the
extra house. (Of these, he got
caught well within the half
