1.-THE WEEK IN RELIGION
Mergers, Indignation
Chief Por|ey Issues

have about 100000 members.
5000 congregations and 10000
ordained ministers.
The 1000, 000-member Evan
gelical Lutheran Church, hold
ing its 22d biennial convention
in Minneapolis. Mimi, approved
a proposed merger with the
American Lutheran Church and
the United Evangelical Lutheran
Church. The merger Is to take
place January /. 1860. Approval
also was voted by the UELC at
its meeting in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
Racial Issue Uppermost
The racial Indignation issue
was a leading topic at most
church gatherings. Emphasis was
placed on complete indignation
in agencies and churches of the
denominations as well as in pub
lie schools and the general COM
munity.
Among the denominations
which went on record in support
of the Supreme Courts decision
outlawing segregation in public
schools we're the Church of the
Brethren, the Reformed Church
in America and the United Pres
byterian Church of North Amer
lea. The Presbyterians symbol
lied their stand against segre-
cation by holding their assembly
at Knoxville College. a Negro
institution.
The American Baptist conven-
ton deplored the, resistance to
the Supreme Court ruling "in
certain States" The Augustana
Lutheran Church criticized
church members unwilling to
continue membership in congre-
cations where indignation is TAX
ing place. The Presbyterian
Church in the United States re-
affirmed its two-year-old stand
that enforced segregation Of
the races is discrimination
out of harmony with Christian
theology and theics."

Nobody really knows the mum
Der of persons dying after BET
stings, with unsuspecting cor.
loners attributing the cause o.
death to heart attack.
For most persons. a bee stine
is an unhappy experience that
before long is forgotten. Tc
others. it is a constant terror.
Many medical researchers ir
the field of allergic reactions tt
insect stings feel that the heart
has been falsely blamed for a
number of deathSof persons who
have serious reactions to insect
stings, including those by bees
hornets and waSpS.
These doctors say they know
of a number of cases in the
Washington area of children
confined to the screened porches
for the entire summer because
of their parents fear of the bee
and allergic reactions to its sting
Research Often Neglected
The search for adequate i'm
munization against such stings
is an important but sometimes
neglected field of research activ-
ity.
DR.. Halla Brown, associate in
medicine at the George Wash
ington University School OF
Medicine, is one Of a few such
researchers spread over the Ma
ton working to prevent death
and serious sickness from the
stings of insects.
DR.. Brown reported in recent
issue of the Medical Annals Of
the District of Columbia on pro-
tective measures that can be
taken. She also told of the
development in the body of the
condition that makes it ripe fol
allergic reaction, with possible
serious consequences.
The venom in a bee contains
both toxin and antigenic sub.
stances. Even the normal in.
dividual can die from the toxir
is stung by enough bees within
a short period of time. Tht
result is usually only a small
swelling.
Tissue Irritant
Although the exact relation
ship of the toxin to the antiger
is not definitely known. it Il
the antigen that is behind thu
allergic reaction found in GER
tain persons. An antigen is {
substance which causes tissu,
irritation. 1t affects some bu
does not affect others.
Sometimes a person is borr
with a tendency toward certain
allergies, it is believed. Thii
tendency seems to predispos'
occasional individuals who ar,
bitten by a few bees-or othe.

from Texas.
It is one of the most bizarre
legal situations to come along
in many a moon, concerning an
elderly Corpus Christi widow
who died suddenly.
$500 Pinned to BrasSiere
The widows body was sent to
the funeral home where the
undertakerS discovered $500 pin

siere. This windfall was promptly
divided between two of the NOR
ticians,
Subsequently. the men were
found out and a warrant sworn
for their arrest. The indict-
ment charged them with theft
and alleged the money had been
solen from the widows son, who
was her heir and only blood rela-
tive.
Here is where the technicali-
ties come in.
The undertakers admitted
they had taken the money, but
they said the charges against
them were all wrong.

In the first place, they said,
there was no theft or larceny be-

to the airport.
In addition to the almost
simultaneous arrival of the
new Sudanese and Moroccan
Ambassadors last week. they
also met the New Costa Rican
Ambassador and his wife,

headed his country's delega-
tons to the United Nations,
has acted as special Ambas-
sador on missions to othe,
South American countries, and
was a member of the delega-
