Religious Revival Viewed By Briton British Agnostic Views U.S. Revival WASHINGTON (JJP) — A British agnostic has taken a long look at 'America’s religious revival. His conclusion, which is remarkably similar to that of some leading U.S. theologians, is that it is partly genuine, partly superficial. One of the questions raised by Prof. D.W. Brogan of Cambridge University is whether Americans are worshipping God, or an idol called “the American way of life." His own impression, based on a nine-months tour of the United States last year, is that a great deal of what passes for “religion" in America today is essentially “political” rather than spiritual in character. “There is a marked identification of 'religion' with ‘Americanism’,” Brogan writes in the February issue of Harper’i magazine. He also notes—as U.S. church leaders have noted—a tendency to emphasize the usefulness of religion, as a comforting element in personal life and a strengthening factor in national life. Brogan's verdict on this disposition to treat religion as a means to an end puts him in the company of Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, president of the National Council of Churches, theologian Reinhold Neibuhr, and other distinguished American ministers. “Christianity may be the most this-worldly of the great religions,” he writes. “But it is far less world- 1 ly than the world. Its aims can never be reduced to producing peace of mind, to creating national unity, to providing a substitute for Communist faith, to being an extra arm of the ‘Voice of America,’ a remedy for child delinquency, or easy divorce.” He cites the insertion of the phrase, “under God,” in the pledge of allegiance to the flag as an example of “deliberate association of God with "the American way of life’.” Although he labels himself an agnostic, Brogan is clearly of the opinion, that what America needs is not less religion, but a deeper kind of religious belief. Brogan suggests that a "practical test" of ttie depth of America's revival is now in toe making in toe South—toe area in which “organized religion is strongest.” “If five years from now...desegregation in the churches is not pretty nearly complete, I shall take toe liberty of doubting toe existence of a great spiritual upheaval. If the Catholic bishops of the South have to retreat in, say. New Orleans, before a strike of toeir white faithful, I shall bw dpe» ttessed wprtit itoe driven: to doubt.”

Neighboring States Reduce Traffic Toll CHICAGO W — National Safety Council records showed today that while Indiana's 19J6 traffic death- toll climbed over 1955, all states bordering Hoosierland improved their records. Indiana was among 29 states having increases. But Michigan's toll dropped 12 per cent from 1955, Kentucky’s fell 11 per cent, Illinois' dropped 3 per cent and Ohio’s dropped 3 per cent. Lafayette, Ind., was the second largest city in the nation with a fatality-free record in traffic last year. Auror, 111., was first, and Fargo, N. D., was third largest.

(UP) — Mrs. Cynthia Stable Edwards Michelli Moreci Corraditti Fultz Morris appears today before Wayne Superior Judge John H. Brubaker on bigamy charges stemming from her seventh marriage. The attractive blond manicurist was brought here Thursday night from Dayton, Ohio, after she signed a statement admitting she took part in a bigamous marriage and waived extradition. Mrs. Corraditti was charged specifically with marrying husband No. 7. Ray Morris, 22, Dayton, without obtaining a divorce from husband No. 6. Eugene Fultz, 24. Dayton. The couple were married by a justice of the peace here Jan. 14. Both swore it was their first marriage, but later events indicated only Morris was telling the truth. A check later revealed Mrs. Corraditti was married 'to five other men in the last 10 years. Authorities said she never obtained a divorce from husband No. 4, Benny Corraditti. They also were checking on the legality of the other divorces. Mrs. Corraditti, 23, was brought here in a police car with two uniformed officers and a police woman. They said she talked all during the trip, but only about such things as how much the trial would cost and what the sentence would be. Bond was set at $2,000 and Mrs Corraditti was lodged in a woman's jail cell here overnight. She told reporters she is going to plead guilty because she “wants to get the whole thing straightened out.”- She added “I know it is wrong.” Mrs. Corraditti said she thought Corraditti obtained a legal divorce.

Secretary Wilson Defended By Wife Says Many Cabinet Heads Want To Quit WASHINGTON (UP) — The wives of two Cabinet members disagreed today with an opinion of Mrs. Charles E. Wilson that many Cabinet heads want to go home. Mrs. Wilson defended her husband, the secretary of defense, against President Eisenhower Thursday when she said Mr. Eisenhower’s statement on Wilson’s remark about the National Guard was “uncalled for.” The President said the secretary of defense made "a very unwise statement” in saying that the National Guard bad been a haven for draft dodgers during the Korean War. “I know I shouldn't say anything,” Mrs. Wilson said. “I'll just get him in more hot water. “I think you need.* little pat on the back once in a while. Mr. Wilson has been trying to do a good job and I think he has done a good job,” she said. Mrs. Wilson also said she thinks her husband "has earned the right to take it easy now” although she said she had not askea him to resign. “A good many of the Cabinet feel the same way,” she said. “They think the time has come to turn things over to others now.” But the wives of at least two Cabinet members apparently do not agree with Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. Ezra Taft Benson, wife of the secretary of agriculture, told the United Press that “as long as the President wants rriy husband to remain in Washington and can be of service to the country I will be happy to stay here and help him in every way I can.” Mrs. Fred A. Seaton, wife of the secretary of interior, said she endorses "Mrs. B&nson’s sentiment.” The White House declined to comment on Mrs. Wilson's remarks. Trade in - Good Town — Decatur

Quadruplet Girls A Merry Family Texas Quadruplets Now 18 Years Old GALVESTON, Tex. (UP) — T> Badgett quadruplets—Joan, Joyce, Jeraldine and Jeanette—are 18 today and a merrier, more normal family of sisters would be hard to find. They are so merry and normal ’ in fact, that two of them (Jeraldine and Jeanette) have slipped back a grade behind their senior class sisters in high school and there is question whether they will take up Baylor University on its offer of an all-expense scholarship. The university made that gift in 1939 when the girls were born and their mother was so impressed that she gave them all “Baylor” as a middle name. But all four are in the lower fourth of their classes and it is a question wheth- , er they could pass the entrance exams—and whether they want to, anyway. “They just fool around and don’t study,” Mrs. "Badgett explains. “We’ve tried keeping them in. not allowing them guests . . . everything. Nothing has worked. They just have too good a time.” The father of. the blond, blueeyed girls doesn’t seem to mind. He describes them as “pretty frisky.” The four girls are not identical quads and they gave up dressing alike when they were 15. They now go their separate ways so completely that it is difficult to find all four together and they prefer the company of boys to each other. hospital: Darrel and Verna Litwiller Thieszen, of Berne, are parents of a son, born Thursday evening at 8:14 o’clock. He weighed eight pounds and 15 minces.
