Herr Goebells. Hitler's propa-

the Allies won. we would accept the
methods we were fighting. We have.
The missile sites in Great Falls are

OFFERS GHANDPS TEACHINGS
AS A GUIDE
Whitney, in urging a moral revo-
luton, offers the teachings of
Ghandi as a solution 10 the world 5
conflicts and fears OF today and to-
morrow. The audience AT Helena's
Congregational Church Sunday night
"a decorOus mixture OF Unitarians.
John Birch Society members. Luther
ans, etc.-people alert TO our times
and deeply concerned with our moral
dilemmas) had a rare experience
when the fine point between passive
resistance and non-violence was
drawn in the question and answer
period.
Norman Winestine, retired Helena
businessman, whose relatives were
murdered IN the German ovens, asked
what they should have done. He felt
a point of pride at the rebellion in
Warsaw where the Jews finally
fought back.
Whitney could only attempt to ex-
plain that non-violent means had not
been fully employed. When the young
Jews were refused TO be allowed TO
take UP professional work the Jews
within government, hospitals, uni |
etc., should have refused to |
continue their professions. German |
public health departments would have
collapsed. All Jews should have i'm
nediately put on the yellow arm band
md it would have become symbol
# courage.
Winestine, although obviously not
with the answer. told Whit
ley that the kindnesses given by the
friends to his people were one of
he bright spots during those days.
A young man rose in the assembly
nd questioned whether non-violence
ad worked when the Nazis invaded
Denmark. Whitney replied that under ;
he leadership of their king, all the :
'eople put on the yellow arm band Z
nd mass murder was avoided. Indi- ]
iduals were roasted but not entire !
roups. This is the type of non-violent '
ction which will win security for /
eople anywhere.
Backgrounded by the massive ar c
ests now taking place in Birming- S
am, Ala, Whitney recalled the slim !
ark figure of Martin Luther King

Hatred, bigotry and violence we q
