Dr.. Crane Says He Has Never Been Accused OF Being Communist

tremely active in behalf of i'm
prisoned Red leaders"
Says Lewis Sick
Sunday afternoon in his room at
the Finlen Hotel, Crane, who was
pastor of the Central Methodist
Church in Detroit for 20 years, in
commenting on Lewis article said:
"Lewis is sick. I do not hate him.
He thinks he is doing a good job.
It is typical misconception in that
it is SANDER, charging guilt by
association, a deliberate calumnia-
ton"
Crane, who is 70, but looks no
more than so. and who has a dy-
manic personality, said further, re-
ferring to his plea for clemency
for Julius and Ethel Rosenberg:
GAS an illustration in the Rosen-
berg case, in which I followed the
example of Pope Plus XII, this
case has been singled out for
criticism of me although I made
similar pleas in other cases. / have
made a plea for Caryl Chessman.
I would sign any appeal to keep
from killing anyone. I do not be-
lieve that any country, no man
or any group has the right to kill
anyone. "Thou Shalt Not KILL" is
a commandment which does apply
not only the Individual. 1t is
just as wrong for any group to kill
as it is for the Individual to take a
life"
Commenting on alleged affiliation
with Lewis organizations, such as
the ones Lewis said the Attorney
General has termed Communist
and Subversive," Crane said:

The Official Board of Lonsdale
Methodist Church voted almost
unanimously TO welcome DR..
Henry Hit Crane for a Christian
Life Mission for four nights begin
ming this Sunday evening. May 8.
Plans for his coming were first
made in October last. but there
was some question of the proprietY
of his coming in view of very ser
ious charges lately circulated in
our community. We don't blame
anyone for being opposed 10 his
coming If all they knew about
him were these charges.
The following story on Dr..
Hit Crane by Frank Quinn which
was prominently displayed on the
front page of Mondays Montana

gives a true and accurate picture
of DR.. Crane. We hope you will

His appearance here is being
sponsored by seven Butte Protes-
tant pastors. The pastors r act
ing as individuals and not as men,
bers of the Butte Ministers Assn.
The association originally sched-
uled Cranes appearance here but
announced Wednesday it had can
celled its sponsorship of the Christ
ian Life Mission because of insult
ficient community support, and a
division of opinion among the
ministers regarding the event.
Critized by Lewis
Crane was recently critized by
Fulton Lewis Jr., columnist, as be-
ing one of a group, "the Commit
tee for a Sane Nuclear Policy,
which has been praised by Radio
Moscow" Lewis further wrote in
his column, which appeared in the
Standard and Post, that "Sane" is
heavily backed by some of the
country's most notorious fellow
Travellers"
The columnist said, writing of
"Sane," "Another leader is De-

Montgomery Junior College has slipped
quietly to another TriState Conference title,
this one in baseball, behind the lefthanded
curveballing of John Papanicolas and the
coaching of Don Conner.
For Conner and MIC alike it was the third

and his three year total has been 81 wins and
