report to the denomination
Slst annual session revealed
today.
This represents a loss of 679
members from 4last.-year--But
the loss. convention officials
noted, resulted from people
moving out of the area and
by many churches revising
their membership rolls. The
latter eliminated many names
that had been carried on the
rolls of persons no longer ac-
tive in the church.
The report was released at
the opening session of the

that Baptists must stand up

one.
I'VE need to be able to state
clearly, fearlessly and without
apology that such principles. as
separation Of church and State
or the responsibility of the soul

the pathways to peace for the
Nation and for individuals"

TuniSia 'is entitled to arms for
the purpose of legitimate self
defense and internal security,
particularly in view of the need
to insure effective control of
her frontiers.
The foreign secretary said
France is the traditional sup
plier of Tunisian arms and he
added that Britain believes
France should continue, by
agreement with Tunisia, to be
the main supplier."
The tone of several questions
by opposition Labor Leader
Hugh Gaitskell suggested that
the Labor Party agreed with
the principle of the British ac-
ton although it may disagree
with the way it was done.
Calls Atmosphere Bad
Mr.. Fineau told newsmen in
New York his government
wants to confer with the Tu-
nissan government on settle
ment OF all problems but that
the arms delivery has created
a bad atmosphere for such
purpose.
Mr.. Pineau said the only
benefit gained by the West
from the arms shipment was
delivery of supplies "a few
hours or days" before Egypt
made similar deliveries to its
North African neighbor.
He declared there were lab

Egypt would not make further
arms deliveries. -

should fall into the hands of

added, public opinion in France

the NATO meeting to be held
in Paris next month.
In reply to reporters ques-

never received intimations
that Russia intended to de-
liver arms to Tunisia."
Soviet spokesman have as
sured him, he declared, that
Russia never intended any ship
ment, and the Tunisian gov
eminent had informed him it
would not accept military sup
plies from behind the Iron
Curtain.
Negotiations on French sup
ply of arms to Tunisia were
held up by the month-long
cabinet crisis which followed

Big Government Loss
On k-PIunt Forecast
BY the Associated Press

Joseph E. Moody. president Of
the Southern Coal Producers
Association, says the Govern
ment may take a loss of $24
million a year on a nuclear
power plant.
Mr.. Moody yesterday called
on Congress to cut off funds
for further civilian power plants
at Government expense.
He said in a statement the
reactor at Shippingport. Pa.
is likely to produce power cost
ing "at least IS mills per kilo-
watt hour as compared to ap-
proximately five mills per kilo-
watt hour for coal"
Since the Government has
contracted to sell the power
from Shippinsport at eight
mills. he said. its loss could be
s65.664 a day, or $24 million a
year.

Bonn Leaders Miffed
AS France, Britain and the
United States were locked in
disagreement over the arms
shipments, West Germany was
reported miffed at all three.
Leaders in Bonn took nc
sides on whether the arms
should have been sent to
Tunisia. They apparently were
concerned about the unity of
Nato. of which West Germany
is a member.
Highly placed informants
said West German leaders
blamed the United States and
Britain for sending arms with
out consulting their NATO al
lies and the leaders were said
to feel that France should have
used NATO channels to make
her position on Tunisian arms
clear to her allies.

HEADLINE PERSONALITY
Stevenson No Novice
AT Diplomatic 7obIe

unsolicited comments of a year
ago make rather piquant read
ing.
In Cincinnati for instance he
called their policies, "erratic,
naive. sterile and tin1id."
And In Los Angeles. he said,
I'VE have said more foolish
and insulting things about
other peoples during the Eisen-
hower-Dulles period than we
like to recall and at an ex-
pense in good will and respect
We can i'll afford. :"
Backer of NATO
OF the man he consults with
today, he said: do we want
four more years of John Foster
Dulles? I say that it is time
for a Secretary of State who
can tell the difference between
victories and defeats - for a
Secretary of State more con-
Icerned with Americas prestige
than his own" =
1t should be noted that he
was consistently for NATO. to
which he is directing his pres
ent efforts. Whenever he men
TONED it in his campaign
speeches, he spoke of it favor
ably. emphasizing that it needed
new life" a&fY
Once again after his second
defeat. Mr.. Stevenson made a
long trip. On that Journey,
pausing in London, he revealed
considerable diplomatic gifts.
On being asked to comment
about Lord Altrichan's stiff
criticisms of Queen Elizabeth,
he said he thought Her Majesty
was absolutely charming"

ing Of the average levels of
instruction and learning" In
formerly white schools.
But ! ask whether the
human qualities developed from
this mixing of previously sepa-
rated races will not substanti-
ally compensate for the slower
pull on academies" he said.
How can America expect to
Withstand the severe tests
ahead as a segregated nation?"
The Commissioner then Of
fered a reply Ito the die-hards
who say Washington is being
ruined by Indignation" His
points:
/, There is no mass migra-
ton" of Negroes to the WASH
ington area. The percentage
OF Negroes in the area. he said,
has remained a surprisingly
constant" % per cent of the
total area population. It is
true. he said. that virtually all
the total Negro population in
crease in the area has been
within the city limits and that
WashingtofsS white population
has dropped proportionately.
2. The increased numbers of
Negroes in Washington cannot
be entirely attributed to racial
migration. Strong economic
factors are at work also. These.
he explained. include Job OPP
portunities, low-rent housing
and good mass transportation.
Washington's rather complete
indignation as contrasted with
that of. the surrounding areas
does, however. make it an at
tractive residence for Negro
families" Mr.. Mclaughlin said
3. The numerical influx of
Negroes into Washington has
increased the need fot greater
expenditures Of public money
for welfare, education. health
and law enforcement services.
The costs of meeting these
critical activities" he said,
have increased disproportion-
ately to that of other genera,
government activities. and 1.-The
very urgent demands will con-
tinue to exist in the future. !"
