NOTED JOURNALIST AT LIN
COLIN - Wells, who will be ap-
pearing in Lincoln on November A
through the z, has ranged far and
wide as feature writer and il
illustrator, penetrating most of the
areas of tension in today's world.
He travels abroad once or twice
each year. His most recent trips
have taken him to Russia, Cuba,
Germany, Spain and through much
of Africa.
AS Editor and publisher of BE
tween the Lines. one of the most
widely circulated national news
letters, Mr.. Wells maintains many
contacts at home and abroad in
fields of labor and industry, race
relations, science, diplomacy and
military affairs. Scores of devout
laymen, who are strategically
placed in their professional ca
reers in these fields, contribute
timely and significant materials
for this Newsletter, as well as in
formation which Mr.. Wells brings
to his lectures and forum dis
cussions, such as he will be pre-
senting in Lincoln.
Although America has by far
the greatest news coverage of the
world, our press and radio must,
by necessity, concentrate on high
speed dispatches that re- o d
events as they happen" Mr.. Wells
explains. ''T h e great spiritual
truths of our day, which motivate
men and, create the news of the
future, seldom command headlines.
For instance. the most important
development in Russia at this time
is the discomfort among many stu
dents in Soviet universities n d
among Russia's writer's, poets, art
lists and musicians because of the
narrow intellectual confines of
Marxism This discomfort has ere
ated a growing resistance move
ment of great Significance even
open revolts which have received
far too little attention in this coun-
try. If the Communists lose their
youth and their most CT e a t V e
minds, they lose all their tomor-
rows
Mr.. Wells will be appearing in
a series of special lectures, Con
ferences on Christ and World
Need" sponsored by the Commits
sion on Membership and Evange-
lism of the Lincoln Methodist
Church. The Conferences will be
held in the Lincoln M b d i S (
Church. Mr.. David A. Greenly is
Chairman of the Commission spon-

Actually, despite the many

school children is excellent
throughout this area and
throughout the United States.

The fine safety record of

we get one child. motorist or
