Backs Away From Union Os Lutherans Cites Differing Doctrinal Views ST. PAUt. Minn. (UP) — The Lutheran church Missouri synod has hacked away from union with the American Lutheran church because of doctrinal differences with two other denominations. Representatives of the synod dropped the "common confession” which stated doctrinal agreement with the ALC Monday. In its place they adopted a resolution saying the confession “can no longer serve as a functioning union document.” Reason for the shelving of the statement after 10 years of effort was the expected union of the ALC with two other Lutheran groups. The Missouri synod has yet to iron out doctrinal differences with these groups. The delegates paused In their discussion of unification to hear Dr. Fredric A. Schiotz. president of the Evangelical Lutheran church, express hope of doctrinal unity between the new Lutheran church and the Missouri synod. Evangelical Lutherans, meeting in Minneapolis, also were preparing to adjourn today. The Missouri synod delegates adopted a second resolution calling upon the four members of the synodical conference to “produce jointly one clear comprehensive statement concerning doctrine and practice.” Dr. Walter Birkner, Fort Wayne. Ind., was elected to succeed Dr. Martin F. Kretzmann, Danville. Ind,, as secretary of the church. The Rev. Edwin T. Bernthal, Detroit, and the iftev. Arthur Oswald, Milwuakee, were elected to the board of directors. Convention Keynoter Lashes Republicans Eisenhower, Craig , Administrations Hit INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Rep. Winfield K. Denton of Evansville raid today that the Republicans were “so desperate they talked about running George Craig for President" when President Eisenhower had his heart attack. Denton, keynoting the Indiana ' Democratic state convention, lashed the national and state Republican administrations of Mr. Eisenhower and Governor Craig and 'said the party is a “sorry 'spectacle.* • * — - - ■■ "When President Eisenhower had his first illness," Denton said, “the Republicans became so desperate that they talked about running George Craig for President. Now wouldn’t he make a ‘perfect circle’ candidate?" Denton referred obviously to Craig’s action in sending troops to the scene of strike violence at the Perfect Circle Corp, plants last year. Nationally, Denton accused the Republicans of giving away 60 billion dollars worth of tidelands oil which would have bought "every housewife in the United States a mink jacket and a deep freezer." Denton said the best example ot “a strong Democrat trend which has been running since 1952” was the party’s sweep of the majority of Indiana mayor elections in 1955. Sheriff Telephones Schurger Candidacy Sheriff Merle Affolder, who is a delegate to the Democratic state convention of Indianapolis, was .the first Decatur man to return the news to this city that Severin' Schurger had decided to again be a candidate for the appellate bench.

Russia Fails To Gain Delay In UN Debate Security Council Plans Debate On Algerian Question United nations, n.y. (UP) —Russia failed today to gain a new postponement s the United Nations security council’s debate on whether to consider the Algerian question. • The council, by a 7-1 vote with 3 abstentions, decided that it would not accede to Russia’s request tor indefinite postponement of the Algerian question and that it would proceed as quickly as possible to a showdown debate on whether the issue should be debated In the UN’s highest peace organ. Soviet ambassador Arkady A. Sobolev moved the postponement on a point of order as soon as the council had convened. The council was considering the.request of 13 members of the Afro-Asian bloc to decide whether to give a full debate to the dispute between France and the Algerian nationalists. The council already hd postponed its discussion for five days at Russia’s request. Originally summoned for last Thursday, the debate was postponed at Sobolev’s request to permit him time to get instructions from Moscow. France objected to Sobolev’s postponement motion. French ambassador Herve Alpband demanded that the council pronounce itself immediately on whether it would debate the issue. France contends that Algeria is an integral part of its country and the security council may not intervene in its internal affairs. Alphand said the 13 sponsoring countries had asked "immediate action” on the Algerian question. Either their request had to be acted upon, he said, or it must be withdrawn in accordance with the rules. Alphand's move obviously was designed to force the withdrawal of the request for council action.

Heavy Shower Here Shortly After Noon After the temperature today had soared almost,to 9<f shortly before noon, Decatur received a cooling off shower at 12:45 this afternoon. While the rainfall was not needed in the area, the accompanying cool air was greeted by those who fail to appreciate the high 80 and 90 degree temperatures. Showers are predicted for the area this afternoon and it is feared that the relief from the heat will be short lived. A few small limbs of trees were blown down by the wind but no appreciable damage was reported during the shower. Numerous Adams county farmers had hopes today of getting some of their hay into barns. Earlier rains of the last several days had damaged part of the crop and it is feared that today’s rain might cause the hay to be a total loss. Minnesota is the source of waterways leading south to the Gulf of Mexico and north to Hudson Bay, and east to the Atlantic Ocean. Democrat Want Ads Bring Results
