great population growth in the
cities can kill the churches.
The Rev. j. j. Van Boskirk
Of Chicago. secretary of the
Chicago Disciples Union, said
the church has been composed
basically of rural people and
has adopted a technique eff

nique has also worked in ur-
ban areas but in many places

he said.
To meet the challenge, Mr.
Van Boskirk declared the
churches must change their
technique to face growing ur-
ban areas.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26 (AP)
-Povl Bang-JenSen, SO, miss
ing former United Nations Of
fetal, was found dead Of a gun
shot wound in q Queens park
today.
Police tentatively listed the
death as a suicide. They said
a .25-caliber automatic was in
his hand. He had been shot
in the face.
A note addressed to Mrs.
Bang-Jensen was found by the
police.
The body Of the former
Danish diplomat was discovered
in q clump of woods about 500
feet inside Alley Pond Park.
The park is near Mr.. Bang
JenSen's Lake Success home.
Fired Last Year
Mr.. Bang-Jensen, a fervent
anti Communist, was fired by
the United Nations last year
because he refused to surrender
a list of refugees from Hun
gary after the 1856 uprising
there.
He left his home Monday
morning to go to work at the
Manhattan Office of CARE.
which provides various types of
aid to needy areas abroad.
His wife telephoned police
when he failed to return home
Monday night.
During his association with
the U. N, Mr.. Bang-Jensen in
terrogated a number of refugees
on behalf of its Commission on
Hungary. He refused to sur
render the names of those he
questioned, saying he feared
they would fall into Communist
hands. AS a result Of his OBJ
stinacy, he was fired by U. N.
Secretary-General Dag Ham
marskjold.

Mrs. Bang-Jensen said her
husband was his usual self"
when he left Monday. She said
there was no sign of anything
unusual. She said he had been
unhappy when the U. N. fired
him as senior political officer,
but that was back in July, 1858.
A police official has been
quoted as saying that Mr..
Bang-Jensen had been under
treatment by a psychiatrist.
Officials of CARE said Mr..
Bang-JenSen's job recently was
extended another six months.
They said he received a good
salary and there was a pos
sibilty of further work with the
organization. HE was doing
very well," the officials said.
But there had been reports
that Mr.. ng-Jensen was

The reason for the failure

The National Aeronautics

There is no record Of the

Object of the shot was to

Failure of the mission clearly
meant that the United States
will be on the sidelines, as far

are concerned, for at least a

A heavy dew today curbed

He and about 80 firemen, in

He said "the fire settled

not a threat to the city, but
it is threatening some farm

Mr.. Fink said about IL homes
were destroyed but no one was

"The only thing we could do
was go from house to house and
