THE CHURCH FOR ALL =.
 ALL FOR THE CHURCH

The Church is the greatest fac- tor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is storehouse of spiritual values. Without strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There arc four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and sup- port the Church. They are: (D For his own sake. t2) For his childrcn's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4I For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and mate rial support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily.

Letters 10 the Editor:

The third fund IS the cause of h represent difficulty. Twice of the present difficulty. Twice sembly has voted to send troops to trouble spots. The first affair was at Suez UNEF) and not expensive. The second was in the Congo tONUC) and very expensive. Since there was no fund to take care of this the Assembly established a Special Account separate from the regular budget. There was great lack of agreement as to how the money should be rais- ed. Assessment seemed to be the best idea but all did not agree. The Latin American countries regard this assess ment= as a recommendation and not a legal obligation. The So- viet bloc and Arab countries in sist that the aggressor must payo. Some. like Mexico, say that the BIG FIVE should pay t all. Russia and France have said that they will pay none of it. Most of the members have taken refuge in ambiguity so that by the end of 1861 only 25 had paid their UNEF dues in full and only nine their ONUC dues in full. Some others had made part payments and guar antee the full amount.
 Conscious of the necessity of devising more adequate method of financing peace keeping operations in the fu- ture, the fifteenth Assembly at it's final plenary meeting, de- cided to place on the agenda of the sixteenth session as a mat ter of prime importance and urgency an examination of methods for covering the cost of 'peaee-keeping' operations and the relationship between such methods and existing ad- ministrative and budgetary procedure.
 The assessment system works we'll for the regular budget, the voluntary system for the spec ial services, but something new may have to be found for "peace-keeping operations"
 Tn the last analysis, the pro- blem of financing the LIN is not a problem of financing at all, but a problem of building world community"
 The LIN got out of it's depth in the Congo. It now knows it cannot tackle military assign ments until a firm policy IS established for cost-sharing. It I is to be hoped that the sixteen tn session will produce that policy. If it does not, it will have to forego military action But that still leaves it with two

Dear Editor:

There are facts about the fin ancing of the United Nations that you should not fail to pre- sent.
 The LIN has three funds. The first IS the General Fund which pays all the regular expenses. The budget last year for this fund was S69 million. This sum IS collected from ALL of it's I04 members in accordance with an assessment population, wealth, and ability 10 earn foreign ex- change. U s. 4. stands at the top of the list with respect to the total assessment for this fund Ii IS surpassed by Canada with respect to per capita as . sessment.
 Article 19 of the charter pro vides that If any nation should be behind in its payments for two years that nation will lose its vote in the General Assem- bly No nation has ever incur red this penalty. Bolivia did 1 pass the two year mark but it's ] representative stayed away from the Assembly until the money had been paid. China has been responsible for over 1 three-quarters of the total ar rears. This is not surprising since that country continues to i pay the fifth largest assess ment, calculated on the basis of mainland China although it's resources are limited to the is- land of Formosa. But even China manages to pay before Article 19 can be invoked" Until the two year period has passed, no nation can be accus- ed of defaulting No nation has defaulted.
 The second fund is made up of voluntary contributions to Special Programs, for example the ehildren's fund (UNICEF9 and the Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance (EPTA). The combined annual cost of all these programs amounts to more than twice the regular budget. This fund is i strictly voluntary and depends on the generosity of govern ments and private citizens groups throughout the world. It's outgo Is limited by it's in come. Contributions are an- nounced at annual pledging conferences. Any nation may pledge any sum or no sum to , any or all of the services. The Soviet Union and other East European countries ignored the voluntary programs completely until 1853. After the death of Stalin, they not only joined some of the specialized agencies but began to make contribu- tions to UNICEF, EPTA, and, in 1859, to the Special Fund. !" T h e ir contributions have amounted to less than 5fo of the total, but at least there has
 been 3 change of attitude to-
 ward this fund. You may critic
 ibe them for being niggardly
 but you cannot condemn the
 LIN on this account. You may
 give ten dollars to the Cancer
 Fund and criticize your neigh
 Dor for giving none, but you
 cannot justly condemn the
 Cancer Fund because of him.

Ministers, Public
Discuss School
Reading of Bible

A panel of Christian church
leaders last night told a public
meeting in Alexandria that the
church does not consider rou-
tine Bible readings in public
schools conflicting with
State-controlled education.
No effort is being made to
inflict the ideas of the in
dividual churches on the public
school system, according to the
Rev. Charles H. Bayer, moder-
ator of the panel discussion.
Mr.. Bayer, minister of the
First Christian Church of Alex
andria, said the church leaders
met to promote understanding
between those who favor the
current practice of Bible read
ings in public schools and those
who oppose it.
After the discussion, some OF
the so persons who attended
the meeting expressed their ap-
proval of the Bible readings.
Only a few of those present OPP
posed the practice, saying their
own personal religious pref
erences were not represented
in the daily readings.
Others on the panel included
DR.. Robert Parlier, assistant
director for secondary schools
in Alexandria, and DR.. Thomas
A. Stone, a minister of the Ma
tional Presbyterian Church and
chairman of the department of
Christian education of the
council of churches.

Counsel withdrew a pauper's
petition by Billie Sol Estes yes

Federal prison sentences.
These moves preceded a
hearing before a bankruptcy

Properties of Estes have been

In Planning
Procedures

The Montgomery. County
Citizens Planning Association
last night adopted a five-point
program it believes will i'm
prove the county's planning
procedures.
The proposals were approved
at the associations annual
meeting as a guide for the or
ganization's board of COVER
nors. Under the program, the
association will seek: -
/. More authority for the
County Council in planning
matters. For example, the
group believes the council
should have more power oyer
the Washington Suburban San
itary Commission program of
sewer and water extension and
wants the Council to indorse
or oppose planning commission
recommendations.
Ethics Group Urged
2. Changes In the system Of
appointing new members to
county planning agencies. with
hearings at which candidates
for planning posts could state
their qualifications. The asso-
citation also called for estab-
lishment of a citizens commits
sion on ethics in government
to investigate conflict-of-in-
terest complaints.
3. Control over private con-
tributions TO the Sanitary Com
mission. Members felt that do
nations by developers to the
WSSC may break down proper
planning concepts by bringing
sewers into areas where their
installation is premature.
4. Methods Of making plan
ming bodies more accountable
10 the public. Mrs. Helen

tration Committee said the
planning commission sometimes
adopts proposals despite public
opposition and without ex-

5. A constitutional amend
ment TO permit the State Leg
islature 10 deal with any matter
at any session. At present, In
even-numbered years the Leg
islature can take up only bills
affecting the whole State. The
association said this could delay
