SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 1
(E.Federal Judge Louis E

to help obtain defense evidence

States church groups are at
tending the conference, which
is sponsored by the United
States Conference for the World
Council Of Churches.
Says Effort Too Feeble
In his address, Bishop Dun
said the church seeks too
feebly the unity which God has
willed for 1t.
Acknowledging that there are
wide differences in conception
about Christian unity among
the various churches, Bishop
Dun said distinctions must be
made between Christian unity
and church unity.
Christian unity, he said. re-
fers to the broad community Of
faith and devotion common to
Christians throughout the
world. a community that forms
q basis which enables ''indi-
viduals coming out of widely
separated churches" to have
fellowship with one another.
Common participation in the
experience Of communion with
God in Christ, basic Christian
Royalties fed by common use Of
the Scriptures. the Lords
Prayer and many sacred
hymns" may provide a sense of
kinship which transcend eccle-
siatical boundaries. he added.
Distinct Communities"
On the other hand, church
unity deals with unity involv-
ing the church or parts Of q
church or churches as distinct
communities with some insti-
tutional structures" the Bishop
explained.
He cited examples such as

The Tunisian government
Monday protested the policy
OF pursuit. It claimed that
q French company killed six
regular Tunisian soldiers and
a national guardsman Sunday
while pursuing a rebel group.
Originally the French had
reported 10 rebels killed in Tu-
nisia but mentioned no Tuni-
sian casualties.
The French version today
said a motorized infantry unit
chased rebels across the border
near Haydra and fired in the
direction Of the rebels when it
found ways barred by armed
Tunisians.

Letters

Editor,
Your heading, Merit System
Proposed" over Mrs. Elizabeth
Rohr's letter published in your
December 18th issue was mislead-
ing. Montgomery County has had
since 1949 a merit system that
has been the envy of many cities
and counties in the United States.
What Mrs, Rohr and the League
of Women Voters, are concerned
about is preserving the present
merit system, and what they are
proposing Is that the Montgom-
cry County Council set standards
governing the yearly appointment
to the, three-member Personnel
Board.
Montgomery County's Person
mel Board is not an advisory
group. The County Charter des-
ignates it, along with the County
Council and the County Manager,
as a part of the executive branch
Of the county government. The
Board makes regulations which
cover all aspects of county en-
ployment. These regulations, once
approved by the County Council,
become laws of the County.
This delegation of responsible
ity to a citizen board was no ac-
cident. The trainers of the Char
ter that established home rule
government in Montgomery Coun-
ty set out deliberately to remove
hiring and firing from the Coun-
ty Council so that they would
neither be tempted to use appoint
ments for political purposes nor
harassed by job seekers.
And the plan has worked. A
code of regulations drawn up and
adopted in 1949 has received ma
,tion-wide acclaim and has re-
quired few amendments. Under
the merit system established by
these regulations the county Of
