Bishop Grace Litigation Thickens
As Third Group Enters Case

Harvey Rosenberg, attorney
for Mr.. Mccullough, made a
strenuous denial.
But we can't stop other
people from calling him Sweet
Daddy" the lawyer added.
"Ah, how true" Judge Hart
responded. But we can stop
all the plaintiff and defendants
in this case from calling him
Sweet Daddy"
Frank Reeves, representing
the IL new defendants, sug-
gested to the judge that the
court would be interfering with
the spiritual affairs of the
church, "depriving it of a Spiri-
tual leader" unless it allowed
Mr.. Mccullough to remain in
office as a provisional bishop
until Mr.. Bryant can account
for apparently missing church
funds and take action leading
to a bona fide election of a
successor to Daddy Grace.
But James Hogan. represent
ing diSsident group of church
members who started the court
action seeking the defrocking
of Mr.. Mccullough, objected
to this proposal, citing the
debacle of the Transfers case
involving Union President
James R. Hoffa.
No DeadIine on Job
Mr.. Rosenberg requested that
Mr.. Bryant's receiverShip of the
church should apply for no
more than rs days.
But the judge demurred: Il
don't give a man a job, then
tell him how to do it."
He recalled that the almost
40-year reign of Daddy Grace
as bishop Of the 3 million

piece of meat tied to a string

watched her she landed a
fine mess of blue crabs, the

she had to do was to steam

The legal tangle created by
the death Of Bishop Charles E
(SWeet Daddy Grace grew even
more complicated yesterday as
District Court Judge George L.
Hart admitted a third group in
the dispute over the successor
to Daddy.
Judge Hart last Friday re-
moved Walter Mccullough as
the new bishop of the United
House of Prayer for All People
and set up Washington attor-
ney William B. Bryant as a
court-appointed receiver to
Straighten out the church's
chaotic" financial affairs.
Yesterday the judge allowed
II members of the church's
general council to enter the
case as defendants.
Lawyers also met with the
jurist to h a sh out specific
wording of a court order de-
failing the extent of the
sweeping authority given to Mr..
Bryant.
Cites News Reports
The result of more than two
hours of argument yesterday
was that Mr.. Mccullough, an
elder in the church before his
election as bishop in February,
1860, was told in no uncertain
terms that he'd better stop
holding himself out as bishop
in everything but name only"
The judge was referring to
newspaper reports telling of
Mr. McCullough's activities last
Sunday as he presided over a
mass baptism by water hose at
the Mother Church" - the
Charlotte Mission.
Didn't he call himself,
Sweet Daddy'?" the Judge
wanted to know.

save time if a definite plan

lowed. By following a logical
sequence and making the most
of the available time, guess
work can be eliminated and
perfection attained.
The most satisfactory way
to assemble any garment is to
work in units. A dress will
have four major units - the
blouse front, the blouse back,
the skirt front and the skirt
back. In addition, there may

being attached to the gar
ment. Each of the units should
be complete before starting on
another. Remember that as
each unit is finished, it should
always be pressed carefully.
In fact, any stitched line OF
seam should be pressed before
it is crossed by another line OF
stitching.

East-West Conflict

To the Editor and Reader:
In my last letter (March "a VOICE.
I made bold statement, namely, that
foreign investment for profit is the
fly in the ointment causing all the
trouble in the world today. 1 still hold
to this statement. Of course there are
lots of side issues to this one theme.
One is the confusion caused by the
battle of slogans going on in both
right and left wing press, which
shrouds the issue, this name-calling by
both sides is hindrance to the under
standing of the subject by most people.
The West, or the profit system coun-
tries, led by the U. S. are trying to
contain, or head off the spread of
the nonprofit systems from the non
profit countries, led by the Soviet I'm
ion and Cuba.
The West is sobbing about the en-
croachment, or aggressions of Com
munist countries, while the East, or
so-called iron curtain countries are
yelling, Capitalist imperialism" at
the West.
Now, in my way of thinking, this is
all very confusing to most people. Why
not reduce it down to plain English
and say, at is a battle between the

RR Commissions Stand
On Merger Praised

MontanA Railroad and Public
Service Commission
Helena, Montana
Gentlemen
am writing this as secretary of the
Silver Bow Railway Employees Asso-
citation, as a citizen of Montana and as
a railroad man to thank you for your
recent letter to u. S. Attorney General
Robert F. Kennedy and the press re-
lease regarding the Northern Line
Merger and the possibility that 1t may
force out the Milwaukee Road. The
public needs to know these facts and
your press release has done a lot of
good.
1t seems highly possible, as our or
ganization has so many times told the
citizens of Silver Bow county that in
stead of competitions inspired expan-
sion, this area and the entire state
will be afflicted with retrenchment OF
rail transportation services. A study
of past mergers indicates that the prin-
ciple economy in such mergers is the
reduction of employees and curtailment
of service.
The people of Montana can not per-
NIT the selfish interests of the finan-
ciers and stockholders to be placed
above the public interest. The fact
that the Milwaukee Road has filed no
protest to the northern line merger
Gas they did in 1890 in a strong indi-
cation of trade agreement collision.
Certainly such collision is violation
of anti-tr laws.
1t is a pleasure to be a citizen of
Montana and to be represented by such
courageous elected officials as you
gentlemen have demonstrated your
selves to be. Keep up the good work
and l am sure that we can prevent our
state from becoming one of the ghost
towns and gopher holes by permitting
the railroads to convince the public !
that we are facing stagnating econ
omy. The facts are that economic
growth is inevitable and that future
growth and Industrial activity will de-
mand more, not less railroad facilities. |

Americanism, be it American Legion,

and dangerous reactionary nonsense.
The very least I can do is publicly de-
nounce them and labor to expose their
Religious bfglotry and false patriotism
for the selfish, ignorant hypocrisy that
it is.
/ am ashamed of the fact THAT so few
voted for the common people all over
the world who are struggling and dy-
ing for the substance of freedom, while
so many voted for the name of free
dom la Kennedy and Nixon. 1t is so
nice and pleasant to hate and blame
Castro while the brutal reactionaries
kill Cuban working people in what
shall be a vain attempt to restore the
only kind of freedom our leaders under

plot, impoverish and degrade the COM
