SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. T.
Americans were cautioned yes
terday by the National Council
of Churches that growth Of
United Nations membership
may result in our country being
outvoted on some issues.
The warning was contained
lin q resolution unanimously
passed by the delegates to the
triennial meeting of the coun-
Gil, strongly supporting the
aims and purposes Of the
United Nations.
Pointing out that self-gov-
ernment in the new nations
has resulted in a wider par
ticipation of peoples in ques-
tions affecting their own well
fare, the statement claimed
this was q desirable extension
"of democratic processes in the
world"
But this very increase Of
democracy means that the
United States may be facing a
new experience. It may on some
issues find itself outvoted. We
believe citizens should prepare
themselves for such eventuality.
Better Understanding
"It would not then be an
undue shock to public opinion,
since people would have a more
mature view, better able to
interpret democracy at work
on q world scale, with the bene-
at as well as the risk that the
extension Of democracy always
entails"
The document approved by
the 694 delegates from 80
Protestant and orthodox COM
munions in the United States,
having nearly 40 million men,
bers, was submitted by the
councils Department of Inter-
national Affairs in commemo-
ration Of the United Nations
18th anniversary.
Specific areas where Chris
tians and the churches should
support the United Nations
were listed dis follows:
/. Vigorously resist attempts
to weaken or bypass the
United Nations from whatever
source they may arise"
2. Noting our nuclear-space
age provides no shortcut to
peace or security" called on
our country to ''persevere with
other nations in the search for
reliable arrangements to elimi-
nate weapons of death and re-

ment."
3. Urged Americans to "up-
hold and strengthen the Inter-
national Court Of Justice" by
abrogating our Nations "self-
appointed power to deny to the
court its legitimate jurisdic-
tion."
Hunger dangerous
4. Warned since 'it is both
out of date and dangerous, eco
nomically and politically, for a
minority of mankind to live
in abundance surrounded by
misery" the United Nations
should be used consistently and
on a vast scale in the difficult
task of reducing hunger, illit-
eracy. disease and early death" !"
S. Support emerging peoples

tutions and individual liberties

instrument guaranteeing hui
man rights and fundamental
freedoms"

Suffrage
To Be Pushed
By Ribicoff

Gov. Abraham A. Ribicoff of
Connecticut will ask the Cen
eral Assembly of that State to
be among the first to approve
a constitutional amendment
giving District residents the
right to vote for President and
Vice President.
Word of the Governors
stand was reported today by
the Office of Representative
Daddario, Democrat of Connec-
ticut, who had written Mr..
Ribicoff seeking his support on
ratification.
In a statement at Hartford,
Gov. Ribicoff told newsmen he
would ask the Assembly to give
ratification a high priority.
Mr.. Daddario, in his letter
to the Governor, said he be-
lieved a District voice in the
presidential elections should be
followed by a true home rule

pubic accommodation"
The suit named as defend
ants Montgomery County Sher-
iff Luke j. Bennett, jr.; Glen
Echo Special Policeman Francis
j. Collins, and the two corpo-
rations which own and operate
the park.
The defendants, the suit said,
have publicly announced their
intention of maintaining their
policy of racial discrimination
by causing the arrest, under
color of law, and by use Of
State authority, of all Negroes
who attempt to enter Glen
Echo Park or use its facilities. "
The statements. according to
the suit, "are part of a contin-
uing conspiracy by all Defend
ants to maintain racial diScrim-
ination, enforced by use of gov
ernmental action and author
ity."
The defendants have acted
unlawfully. the suit said, since
state-enforced racial discrim-
ination is contrary to the Me-
groes' rights obtained by the
Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution.
Preliminary Injunction Asked
The suit asked that the court
issue a permanent injunction
restraining the defendants from
making any arrests under the
criminal trespass or any other
State law which might prevent
Negroes from peaceably enter
ing the park.
The six Negroes also asked
the court to issue a preliminary
injunction until the time wher
a hearing on the permanent
injunction can be held.
All together nine Negroes anc
four white persons were ar
rested during the five-day
demonstration which was tenn
porarily halted Monday.
Most of the Negroes were ar.
rested by Mr.. Collins on charges
of trespassing. The special po-
liceman is also a deputy sheriff
for Montgomery County.
Intimidation Charged

were not arrested attempted tt
enter the park on July 2, the
suit said, but were advised oi

THIS WAS the first time

rine," he said.
Il had an opportunity to
board one during the war but
everything went wrong.
Il was on a corvette on
anti-submarine patrol.
I'VE trained at London
derry.
"A mockup submarine had
been constructed on the lawn
of the brewery in the center
OF the city.
Every day our boat crew
would march into London
derry dragging a heavy chain
and followed by scores of
street urchins.
The chain was for a Spe-
cial purpose. On several oc-
casions enemy submarine
crews with typical German
deceit and untrustworthinesS
had taken unfair advantage
of British boarding crews.
AFTER running up the
white flag and causing the
British to cease fire, they
would wait until the board
ing party stepped on the
deck of the submarine. Then
they would slam the coming
tower hatch shut and sub
merge. This put the board
ing party in an unenviable
situation.

Marshal Harrison said they
stopped three times during the
961 mile journey to eat. He
said the food was brought to
the car and Rees did not get
out.
"He was very quiet and said
little on the trip" Mr.. Harrison
said. "If he talked at all, it
was about music and the bands
he's played with"
Sleep Effort Fails
ReeS was placed in a tiny
cell in the Marshal's fifth-floor
office in the Baltimore Post Of
flee.
Rees tried to sleep on the
hard bench in the cell but gave
that up quickly and just sat
quietly until his parents ar
rived. For lunch, both he and
the other prisoner ate roast
beef sandwiches, coffee and
apple pie, purchased around
the corner in a small reStau-
rant.
"It'S our standard menu for
luncheon guests" a deputy
marshal said.
Guards at the Baltimore city
Jail said Rees will be treated
Just like any other prisoner
waiting for trial"
He'll share his small cell with
another prisoner and be re-
quired to help clean it up daily.
After that his times his

The Presidents signature is
now being awaited on a bill
creating an agency to develop
a subway system.
The Twelfth street line was
picked after lengthy study. 1t
would connect with the Penta-
gon and Alexandria on the
Virginia end and Silver Spring
and Wheaton in Maryland.
Congressional committees
last month called on city off,
cials to consider halting the
auto tunnel pending further
action on the rail plan.
Hoover Voices Surprise
Congressional sources indi-
Gated there has been no official
response from the District
Building.
Mr.. Hoover, who directed the
basic transit planning, voiced
surprise when informed Of the
auto tunnel project. Now chief
engineer of an agency de-
veloping a rapid transit system
in the San Francisco Bay area.
he left here in 1858 but con-
tinued as a consultant on the
Washington transit plan.
The plan submitted to the
President last year specifically
called for coordination be-
tween rail and highway prof.
ects, including the Twelfth
street location. A Chicago en-
gineering firm which recon-
mended the Twelfth street sub
way route urged that the sub
way and auto tunnels be
planned together.
Il don't understand why they
didn't take the plan into ac-
count. The whole thing was
worked out with the District
Highway Department" Mr..
Hoover said.
Hits City officials
He charged that District
highway officials actually were
not in sympathy with the sub
way plans. They didn't be-
lieve in rapid transit. They said
build highways first and rapid
transit later" he asserted.
Mr.. Keith said there was a
$3.50 chance that it would be
necessary to tear out some of
the planned contraction near
the Agriculture Department to
put a rail line in later. If this
is necessary. he said, the sub
way cost will mount.

ReeS, Sr., of 1908 Madison street,
Hyattsville, Md.
He is being held without bond
and will leave the Jail only
onee--on July Is when he will
be arraigned before Federal
Judge R. Dorsey Watkins-un-
til his trial begins early in the
fall, Federal officials said.
With Rees' parents during
the visit were two attorneys,
Walter L. Green and Henry Bah
cock of Hyattsville, and Elder
John r. Loor of the Hyattsville
Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
Statements to PRESS
When they arrived about 2:15
pm, Mr.. and Mrs. Rees re-
fused to talk to newsmen. After
they were with their son about
20 minutes, Mr.. Green came out
and gave newsmen four type
written statements signed by
the couple.
The statements were similar
but each one used different
phraseology. One said:
I'VE absolutely know our son
could not have had anything
to do with the charges made
against him. He has a kind and
sympathetic nature and could
not hurt a living thing. Our,
grandchildren love him dearly
and his little son adores him.
He has never been disrespectful
to us, his parents. The truth
will prevail in the outcome of
this grief. We have that con-
fidence."
Another said they could not
retain our composure if we
were not certain that our son,
Davis. is innocent of the charge
against him"
AS she was leaving the build
ing, holding on to the arms of
her husband and Mr.. Babcock,
Mrs. Rees stopped briefly to
answer a reporters question
about who wrote the state
ments.
1--WE wrote them ourselves"
she replied. She declined to an
swer any other questions.
ReeS, a tall, good-looking
young man with lock of black
hair dangling on his forehead,
was led in from the marshal's
Office shortly after 4 pm. for
the trip to the jail.
A reporter asked if he had
any comment. He slowed down
his pace, thought silently for
several seconds and then with
a slight smile said: IT don't
think so, not at this time"
No Comment on Plea
Lined up in the hall were
several dozen young women
from various Government Of
fees in the building. Outside,
more than a hundred persons
had waited most Of the day
for a look at Rees.
Mr.. Green said he had no
comment in regard to the plea
that would be entered. At one
time, Mr.. Green was quoted as
saying he might enter a plea
of insanity.
He said a Baltimore attorney
would be retained to handle
the case, but when he was
asked the attorneys name, Mr.
Green replied, mo comment"
However, he did confer with
William ]. Evans, former as
sistant United States Attorney
in Baltimore, during the visit
with young Rees.
Rees arrived in Baltimore
about $50 am. after a 21-hour
auto ride with United States
Marshal George Harrison and
two deputies from Memphis,
Tenn. Rees was arrested June
