Church Asked to Back
'Curbs on Populations
By CASPAR NAMES
Star Staff Writer

DETROIT Sept. 2O-A resolution declaring that the
United States should help needy countries control popula
ton increases submitted today to the 6oh General Con-
venon of the Episcopal Church in the United
States.
While condemning abortion nfanticide the statement
Evening star., 1961-09-20

While condemning abortion
asserted that methods of con-
troll which are medically in
dorsed and morally acceptable
may help the people of these
lands so to plan family life
that children may be born
without a likelihood of Starva-
ton, and we approve the rem
dering by our Government OF
assistance to this end"
The measure also insisted it
is "the duty of the better-devel-
oped countries such as our
own to help such countries to
become self-supporting in food
supplies and health measures
through technical and other
aids"
AS the convention entered
the third business day of its
two-week meeting in Cobo Hall
here, several controversial is
sues were submitted to various
committees for screening and
later presentation to the House
Of Bishops and the House of
Deputies for final action. Both
houses must approve a measure
before it becomes church law.
Political Reaction
One resolution certain to
produce heated debate calls up
on the Episcopal Church to
withdraw from the National
Council of Churches. Submit
ted by the Southwestern Vir-
ginia Diocese, it asks that the
denomination resign from the
council of 35 Protestant and
orthodox communions totaling
nearly 40 million members.
Those favoring withdrawal of
the Episcopal Church from the
council object to the latter'S
pronouncements on controver-
sial political issues.
But the council has its
staunch defenders, who claim
the dissenters are seeking to
promote "disunity" by their
charges against the council.
Several resolutions urge the
Episcopal Church to accept an
invitation by the United Pres
byterian Church, U. S. A., for
talks with the Methodist Church
and United Church of Christ
aimed at possible eventual un-
ion of the four bodies.
Mixed Views
A resolution submitted by
the Diocese of Maryland backs
the merger. But the Diocese of
Long Island asked the con-
vention. to go on record op-
posing the plan.
The treasurer of the Ma
tional Council of the Episcopal
Church, Lindley Franklin told
a joint session of the Bishops
and the Deputies yesterday
that the church is in a sound
financial position.
Our assets have continual
ly increased during this trier1-
MUM (1958-6D to a total of
almost $37 Million Mr.. Frank
lin said. He observed that this
is an increase of nearly 81 mill
lion during the period. Not only
has the church's budget been
balanced the last three years
but a small surplus has been
added to the reserve fund,
which now totals almost 81
million, he said.
Malik Speaks
DR.. Charles Malik of Leba-
non, former president of the
General Assembly of the Unit
ed Nations, last night told an
ecumenical dinner meeting
that the church cannot assume
responsibility for "the for
tunes and misfortunes of the
world"
Politics and world affairs
belong to politicians; salvation
and ultimate affairs of the
soul belong to the church." he
said.

for the reprimand will be

The action was brought
against Attorney Christian

THE alleged unethical

For many months my friends and

buying their second or third
home and have definite ideas Of
what they want.
National surveys and
spokesmen for such organiza-
tionS as the National ASSocia-
ton OF Home Builders have
issued recent warnings that
the completion of the hous-
ing market is changing. That
the buyer has become more
sophisticated.
Builders Ready
Probably because of the
Metropolitan areas advan-
tageouS economic situation
the sophisticated or second
home buyer stepped onto the
stage here well ahead of the
rest of the country. When
he made his debut he found
our local builders ready and
waiting.
Harold Greenberg, an Of
ficial of Kay Construction
Co., developers of Kemp Mill
Estates in the Wheaton area
said the kitchen-dining room
factor has had a lot to do
with his firms success.
Our houses run from about
$4,000 to $4,000, consequently
most of our customers are buy
ing a second house with equity
built up from the first" he eX-
planned.
I'VE have found that the
Lady of the House definitely
wants a separate dining room
and a kitchen with all the
latest labor saving equipment.
They don't want a kitchen
that is too large, but they do
want one in which they have
space for informal eating.
They insist on a comfort
able place-not just an ell or
nook"
Practical Floor Plan
Mr.. Greenberg and his
partner, Jack Kay, cautioned
that these two rooms alone
won't satisfy the buyer.
They are also looking for a
free-flowing floor plan-one
that is unusual but practical.
In short, they added, they
don't want a house that looks
just like the one down the
street.
Far ahead of most builders
on the dining room factor
is Louis G. Meltzer, head of
the firm that bears his name
and developer of Fairfax

Like Napoleon'S Army,
Washington area homebuy-
ers apparently travel on
their stomachs.
A check of area builders
has verified that two of the
most important factors the
majority of our sophisticated
home hunters consider before
buying are the dining room
and kitchen.
In the $4,000 and up
bracket practically all the
builders polled said their
customers - especially the
women who are most con-
cerned - wanted a separate
room and a push button
kitchen. At least rs per cent of
these in that price range are

Beyond the Andes lies part
of Peru little known to out
siders - Ia selva, the jungle
country on the western fringe
of the great Amazon Basin.
Unlike the central highlands,
this remote region boasts no
famous sites of empire or bat
tie. The preColumbian Incas
spread their dominions along
the Andean ridges and Simon
Bolivar's liberating armie S
sealed the Republics indepen-
dence in the mountain meadows
Yet it is in the selva that
the Peruvian army is now at
war with an enemy more en-
trenched than any the Incas or
Bolivar faced in the Andes.
The enemy is malaria.
Malaria has been a major
problem here since the time of
the cOnquistadOres. Many ex-
pertS hold it accountable for
the regions under-d development.
For though it makes up Sc per
cent of the national territory,
the selva holds but 100000 of
Peru's IL million citizens and
has never pulled it's own weight
within the country's economy.
All that is changing now,
however, thanks to an agree
ment between the army's "Jun-
gle Brigade" and the National
Malaria Service whereby the
soldiers put aside rifles and
took up sprayguns.

merely to reduce the number

Negro Students And The University
OF Mississippi

Local media have been giving a lot of at
tenton during the past several days to anonymous
young Negro who has proclaimed his intention to seek
enrolment student at the University of Mississippi
On several occasions recently have talked to
responsible white leaders in widely scattered sections
of the state who agree that Negro students should be
admitted to the University but who also prefer to
main anonymous.
There is one thing about Negro students attending
the University of Mississippi especially for graduate
and professional training about which all who having
gwen close look at the subject will agree and that is
that Negro students attending the State University will
be far better investment than giving Negro students
money to attend such institutions in the north Too
look at the medical professions alone will prove the
point In most cases those who have obtained money
from the state for the study of medicine and dentistry
have returned to work in the state just long enough to
pay back the money, and otherwise satisfy the loan
agreement.
long soourn in northern University in contrast with
existing conditions in Mississippi might have an ad-
psychological effect the student and change his
entire view regarding his responsibility to the state
We have long recognized that making it possible
for Negro students to enter the University of Mississippi
pi is essentially white problem fact which to u.s. in
this period in the history of the United States facing
as it is great world challenges which need no longer be
excused in attempts to put the responsibility upon the
powerless Negro citizens of the state.
Since we don't deal in anonimities we have been
trying to figure out why much attention to anony-
nous young Negro in this case having arrived at two
overtones it could be effort to delay long pos
sbe in such effort Our second is that is an effort
to make really responsible speak out af-
TENTATIVELY in regard to the matter.
Looking to the future progress of the state much
of which must be based interracia cooperation and
goodwill and too the future of the nation which now
faces the greatest crisis in its history because of world
race relations hope that the behind the story
about the young Negro students effort to enroll the
University of Mississippi was prompted by second
conclusion.

Well Girl, / have been looking
at some of the Spring and Summer
shoes, and from every angle, it
seems that our toes will be Just as

few years. After looking at the
new styles for some time, I was

destrian who might we walking in

have come to a conclusion that
the Shoe Designers must be "War-
mongers" because they have stop
ped designing shoes and started
making weapons. The things are
outright dangerous, both to the
women victims who must wear
them and anybody else whom they
might get "mad at and puncture".
This type of shoe has made the
average woman's foot a mass of
callouses, bunions and corns. You
can see them stepping around like
they are walking on "hot Goals"
and most of the time that is just
what is happening. We all know
that those marrow lasses" are not
made for all of us and it just
doesn't seem right that we should
have to "put a pancake in a vise".
Something is sure to change it's
shape and since the wise is stronger
than the pancake, it will most like
ly be the latter which will suffer

folks have US asking for sizes now
that we have never asked for be-
fore. Most of them are in the 1.-TWO

that this new style she will go on
the former size eight.
I remember when a lady could
enter a shoe store and worry
about the color, style and type
of heel, but those days are long
gone. All that we ladies have to
worry about now is "does the store
specialize in large sizes?" The
worst part of the situation is that
the yellows, reds and other loud
colors are keener than the conven-
tional black and browns. l even

Elizabeth had slipped her feet out
of their prisons to relax them a

if the Queen can do it, we common
ers can spread our "burnin' dogs"
whenever the pressure becomes
unbearable. Well, l know one thing
for sure that if the shoemakers
don't hurry up and change the
styles we will have a nation of
women with STACKED TOES. I'll
