Senator Fenwick said the anti

Only one step in the Gray

The concession is in line with

The Russian Embassy'S first
secretary suggested last night
that if this country would only
cooperate with his, Americans
could board a train in Hyatts-
vile Md and ride all the way
to Moscow without bothering
about the Atlantic Ocean.
The secretary, Alexander Tin
chuk, conceded the long rail ride
was still in the dream" stage.
He said his country would like
to bridge the Bering Straight.
This would necessarily need the
cooperation of the United
States.
And that is likely to be some
time away, Mr.. Zinchuk said.
Talks to County Civilians
He addressed the Hyattsville
Civilian Club in the Prince
Georges Country Club. Mr.. Tin
chuk was the first Russian aide

to be submitted in written form.
None of those touching on Rus

The program featured a Rus

This portrayed the Soviet
Union as a glorious place.

Dark days are still ahead Tor the
Russian church, but the church is
far from dead behind the Com.
munist's Iron Curtain, DR.. Lloyd L.
Ramseyer, president of Bluffton col
lege, said this week following his
return from a siX-week tour of
Europe which took him into Moscow,
Leningrad and Kiev.
''It was my unique privilege to be
one of 16 members of the American
Seminar to attend Russian Baptist
Church service in Moscow, July %"
DR.. Ramseyer explained. 1--WE arrived
a few minutes before the service was
to begin accompanied by our Intourist
guide, young woman sympathetic
to the Communist viewpoints and a
professed atheist who served as our
interpreter.
"We were ushered in to the pas
tors study, where we met Jakov
Zhidkov, president of the Russian
Baptist and Mennonite Churches,
since many Mennonites in Russia are
now members of the Baptist Fellow
ship. They explained to us that their
services differ from ours in that they
always have at least two sermons and
sometimes three. We had prayer to-
gether before going into the service.
"The church was packed but some
how they cleared a path for us
through the center aisle and we were
ushered to a raised platform at the
front where we sat behind the pulpit,
facing the audience.
1.-THE sight we beheld was an awe
inspiring one. Not only were the seats
filled, but every aisle was packed
with standing people, from the space
Immediately beside the raised plat
form to the three exits. do not
know whether any were turned away,
but it was difficult to see how any
more could have gotten inside the
doors.
Gas we sat there we studied the
audience. AT the rear of the balcony
was the choir, composed of about
so voices, about evenly divided as to
sex. In age the members seemed to
range from about 25 to 40. The organ
was behind the choir.
"In the audience women ounum-
bered men, but there was goodly
sprinkling of men. 1t was difficult to
Judge the ages of those attending,
since the Russians are more poorly
dressed and groomed than an Ameri-
can audience and their faces seemed
strained and worn.
Probably the average age was
higher than it would be in an Ameri-
can church service, but there were
some young people and some children.
The white and polka-dot head shawls
of the women made unique picture.
"Our presence was mentioned by
the pastor, and the audience stood
and gave us hearty greeting.
-Four of our number had been
asked to speak briefly, three Baptist
men and one woman. They stressed
the need for unity in Christ, and our
hearty feeling of friendship for our
Russian brethren. Every time a
