1 • Says Martin Luther Film Provokes Hate Catholic Newspaper Adds Fuel To Fire CHICAGO <UP) — The New World, official newspaper of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago, added fuel to a controversy over the film “Martin Luther” by calling it a movie.” ’ * "‘ '* The controversy arose over cancellation of the religious leader's film biography by wGN-TV last December. The station’s action has since been protested to the Federal Communications Commission by the Action Committee for Freedom of Religious Expression, a Protestant group. The newspaper’s statements appeared in an editorial of the edition published Thursday. The movie, it said, was not "content with dramatizing an individual and a system of religion but employs misrepresentation and pictorial emotion to undermine another religion.” It added that the film “completely omits the coarseness and violence that true history reveals in its hero.” "The unfair and unwarranted attacks made upon those Catholics of Chicago whose splendid loyalty to the church prompted them to protest the showing" of the film, were criticized by the weekly, which said such attacks would not “go unchallenged.” The chancellor of the archdiocese, the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Edward Burke, said Wednesday that the church had not given any official endorsement or encouragement to those Catholics who protested. , Dr. John Harms, Chairman of the action committee, replied Thursday to Msgr. Burke’s statement. saying the committee welcomed his "support of the basic principle... that there should be freedom of religious expression for responsible religious groups on Chicago’s airwaves.” Sir Anthony Eden Shows Improvement AUCKLAND. New Zealand (UP) —Former British Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden is no longer confined to his sick bed and is taking short walks, an official report said today. The report said Eden is “considerably improved in health” following a spell of fever which hit him enroute to his vacation here. .. MILLER (Continued trow Page On*. mence.

Traffic Death Toll Lower In January Safety Council's Program Praised CHICAGO (UP)— The National Safety Council said Thursday night the traffic fatality toll dropped 3 per cent in January, marking only the second such decline in two years. - —■ Traffic wrecks killed 2,860 persons in January, compared with a toll of 2,950 in the first month of 1956, the council said. “We are hopeful that the tWoyear upward trend has been halted," said Ned H. Dearborn, council president. “The problem now is to sustain and increase this gain.” The decline was due chiefly to improved traffic safety in urban areas, Deafborn said. Traffic deaths showed a decline of 15 per cent in the 562 cities reporting to the council. The council said October, 1956,

was the only other month in the past two years to show a reduction, although the December, 1956, toll was unchanged from the previous December. Dearborn credited the council’s “back the attack” campaign begun last December with having a “favorable effect” in the‘decrease. Fatality reductions of 60 per cent or more were reported in Nebraska and North Dakota. lowa, Maryland, Montana, New Hampshire and Massachusetts had drop* of 40 per cent, the council said. A total of 420 cities had a clean slate at the end of the first month and another 118 cities posted declines in traffic deaths. Only 85 cities had more deaths than the year before, according to the council. The largest ciUes with perfect records were St. Paul, Minn.; Oklahoma City, Okla., and Norfolk, Va. - .
