The EplScopallan magazine.
Frank Stewart. religious news
editor of the Cleveland Press,
caught the vision and with Mr..
McCorkle provided the stimulus
that resulted in the Religious
Newswriters Association being
organized.
Until that time no formal
association composed of re-
porterS on religious events for
secular newspapers had existed.
The group Of about IL news
papermen and women from the
Nations largest newspapers
had been following the impor-
tant denominational and in
terdenominational meetings for
several years.
The time had arrived, they
believed, when an organization
where they could discuss their
common problems and advance
their professional standing
should be formed.
Since then the association
has grown to include practi-
cally every major newspaper
throughout the country. There
are more than 80 members in
over 80 States and the District
of Columbia in the organiza-
ton, representing more than
70 newspapers and wire serv-
ices. The range of circulation
in the group goes from the
Cambridge (Md.) Daily Banner
with 5,484 to the Chicago Trib-
une with its 869,958 daily
output.
This week the association
returned to the city of its birth
for the annual convention,
which preceded by two days

United Presbyterian Church,

on through the Presbyterian
meeting, which opened Wednes-
day in Kleinhans Music Hall

of Lance Zavitz from the Buff

A striking figure with square

Of white hair. Mr.. Zavitz COW
cred the religious beat during
most of his 20 years with the
Buffalo newspaper. But he did
many other things, including
an outstanding reporting job
about a decade ago in connec-
ton with a grand jury investi-
cation of gambling and politi-
cal payoffs. In 1850 he visited
Germany and did a series on
postwar conditions in that
country.
An outspoken man with
strong convictions on many
subjects, Mr.. zavitz neverthe-
less has the ability to express
his views vigorously and yet
remain friends with those he
is sharply castigating. He has
been a close friend of Evange-
list Billy Graham for many
years. and during the recent
Graham crusade in Miami,
Fla, took a leave of absence
from the Buffalo News to direct
the news aspect of that meet
ing. For many years Mr.. Zavitz,
an ordained Disciples of Christ
minister, served as pastor of a
church near Buffalo while pur-
suing his neWSDaper career.

Trucking Of Mail Stirs Controversy

OLYMPIA, Wash. (P)-Gov. Ros- ellini is preparing a reply to Sen. Bartlett's protest that the Wash ington governor is intervening in Alaskas internal affairs.
 In letter released Monday, Sen. Bartlett criticized Rosellini for urging Senate hearings be held be- fore post office department insti- tutes its plan to truck mail over land to Alaska. Your intervention suggests lack of comprehension of Alaska's changed political sta tus," Bartlett wrote Rosellini.
 Rosellini's press secretary, Rob ert Reed, said a reply was being drafted which would say the mail issue is an interstate matter involv- ing Washington as well as Alaska, with economic portents for Seattle. He said the reply would also say the issue involves rate questions of concern to the entire nation.
 The post office department said the change is still under study, and may require "a few weeks more of Investigation" The department said it's study covers only the idea of moving mail from Seattle, not from some other point.
 Seattle waterfront unions had raised the question of employment losses in Alaska if mail goes over land.

 Ducks, Geese For o0d, Says Egan
