showdown" between Federal and
State authorities over this con-
troversial issue.
This year may prove to be the
high water mark in bitterness
and violence on the one hand
and the establishment of the
supremacy Of Federal authority
over State control on the other, "
DR.. Van Deusen said. LAS disre-
gard for law and order breaks
out in more and more places. the
need for effective Federal inter-
vention at crucial points will be-
come apparent"
The Washington clergyman
forecast that running battles in
the courts will provide a series
of showdowns between Federal
judicial rulings and the State
systems of school administration.
BY painful degrees, it will be
established that the United
States is a Nation, rather than
a federation Of autonomous
States"
Predicts Progress
DR.. Van Deusen further pre-
dfcted definite progress will be
made within Protestant denomi-
nations toward inter-racial con-
gregations.
Becoming conscious of the
pace of the social revolution
around them, an increasing
number of churches Will make
genuine efforts toward racial in
tegration." he said. Invisible
Jars based on color will begin 20
sag, and a small but growing
number of congregations will
have the stimulating experience
of inter-racial membership. In
this advance the courage of
church leaders in crisis situa-
tons will bear witness to the
vitality and relevance of the
Christian gospel to community
problems"
DR.. Van Deusen addressed the
council, made UP of eight
Lutheran church bodies having
nearly five million members, as
the annual meeting went into
the third day of its four-day
session. Dr.. F. Eppling Reinartz
of New York. president of the
council. presided.
The tendency of the general

ligion to weaken UNCONVENTIONAL
lines of chaplains was deplored
by speakers at the session today.
The remarks came in the wake of

HONG KONG, April 8 tP.-
The Rev. Fulgence Gross, Ro.

The 53-year-old priest from
Omaha. Nebr., arrived last night
from Shanghai aboard a British
ship. He was freed 10 days age
after completing a sentence for
alleged espionage. He served
most of his term in a prison,
being transferred to house ar

He was interviewed by about
40 newSmen. Asked by one
whether he had confessed to the
espionage charges when he was
arrested March 20, 1851. he said

The priest said it is unlikely
that any of the five other Ameri-
cans under house arrest with
him in Shanghai will be freed
before their sentences are up.
"All five are under consider
able mental strain" he said.
They have a modicum of free
dom, but the mental strain is
great"
Father Gross wore civilian
clothes with a jaunty brown cap
and smiled as he talked with the
newsmen, telling them:
Il am a little nervous. But
will get better. I am just not
used to freedom"
