No Denominational Gulf In Hymnals Christians United In Singing Hymns By LOUIS CASSELS United Press x lnternational .Take a close look at a church hymnal some day and you’ll see why music is called ‘'the universal language.” There is no denominational gulf so wide that it can’t be bridged by a good hymn. The fact 'that Christians are more united when they sing ‘than any other time is demonstrated by a new hymnal recently adopted by eight major Lutheran bodies associated in the National Lutheran Council. Martin Luther is represented by seven hymns, including “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.” But Luther is a minor contributor compared to Methodist Charles Wesley, who has 17 hymns in the collection. Luther also is outnumbered, eight hymns to ten, by Frederick William Faber. Faber, it may surprise some Lutherans to learn, was a devout Roman Catholic who lived in England in the early 19th century. His hymns are found in many Protestant service books. They include such favorites as ‘‘Faith Os Our Fathers” and "There’s a Wideness in God's Mercy.” Catholic Contributes Hymns Another Catholic whose work appears in the new Lutheran hymnal, as well as in many other Protestant hymnals, is John Henry Newman, who left the Church of England and became a Cardinal of the Roman Church. His best-known hymn is “Lead, Kindly Light.” The interdenominational traffic is sacred music moves both ways. Most Catholic hymnals of recent years have relied heavily on music composed by Johann Sebastian Bach, a dedicated Luthern. There are scores of hymn found in both Catholic and Protestant hymnals, which date from the era when the Christian church was undivided. This common heritage includes the numerous pslams that have been set to music, and the ancient "plainsong'’ melodies that may have been derived from Hebrew temple chants A —familiar— example—of the latter

is “Come. 0 Come, Emmanuel.” Perhaps the most “nonpartisan” category of hymns are those Associated with Christmas. It would not be the least bit un-I usual, for example, for a program of Christmas carols to include the Catholic "O Come, All Ye Faithful,"* the Unitarian, “It Came Upon the Midnight Clear,” the Episcopal "O Little Town of Bethlehem,”, the Congregational “Joy To the World,” and the Methodist "Hark the Herald Angels Sing.” Hymn Writers Ignored One reason why hymns pass so readily over denominational barriers is that people send' to pay very little attention to the names of their composers and authors. Few regular church-goers, 'for example, could identify Isaac Watts. Yet many of the 600 hymns that Watts wrote in the 18th century are still being sung. And some of them, like “O God, Our Help in Ages Past,” are among the most beloved in the English language. Such is the anonymity of hymnwriters that some of the very best are remembered solely for their ■accomplishments in other fields. Every school child knows, that John Greenleaf Whittier was a great American poet. But how many know that the gentle Quaker wrote "Dear Lord and Father of Mankind” and dozens of other beautiful hymns? Rarer stiU is the who can identify the author of the famous recessional —"God of Our Fathers.” Don’t peek at the hymnal. It was Rudyard Kipling. Man's Body Found In Lot At LaPorte LAPORTE, Ind.

Plans Appeal From Slay On Integration Last-Ditch Appeal To Supreme Court On Arkansas Case WASHINGTON (UPD — The National Association For The Advancement of Colored People prepared to make a last - ditch appeal to the Supreme Court today that would permit Negro children to re-enter Little Rock's beleaguered Central High School next month. Legal sources expressed belief there was little chance the move would succeed. Thurgood Marshall, NAACP chief counsel, said in New York Thursday he would come here today with one of two or three possible motions seeking Supreme Court action to enable the Little Rock, Ark., school to open on an integrated basis Sept. 2. Presumably, all the motions would seek to override the Eighth U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals' stay of its previous order requiring the integration. Delay Granted The circuit court at St. Louis granted a Little Rock School Board appeal Thursday for a 30day integration delay pending the appeal to the nation’s highest court for final disposition. “ <'7‘' The Supreme Court currently _is in recess for the summer and doesn’t plan to reconvene until Oct. 6. But Justice Charles E. Whittaker has jurisdiction over emergency appeals from the Eighth Circuit when the court is in i recess. Justice Department ex- | perts said Whittaker could vacate jthe stay, uphold it, or refuse to I act until the full Court could review the petition. These experts said they could ' find no precedents for one judge ! overruling a circuit court stay I without a hearing by the full • court. Whittaker also could turn the ! petition over to Chief Justice Earl ■ Warren, who has authorty to call }an emergency sessionof the high court. This, too, was viewed as unlikely. Takes Time Even if the NAACP appeal is filed today, Whittaker may not act immediately. He is vacationing in and around Kansas City, Mo. The St. Louis Appeals court gave the school board 30 days in which to file a petition with the Supreme Court for a review. Attorneys for the Negro students would have 30 days to file an answer. The petitions then would be considered by the justices meeting! in private conference. After the Supreme Court hands down a final order, the losing party has 25 days in which to seek reconsideration. The court’s mandate also takes about 25 days to reach the lower court and thus become effective. Thus, unless Whittaker grants the stay or the court is called into emergency session, the time element involved in an appeal appeared to rule out admission of Negro students to Central High until the spring semester of 1959, in the opinion of court observers.

Incentive Payments Going To Farmers • Wool, Lamb Checks To County Farmers Wool and lamb incentive payments have started going out in the mail to Adams county farmers, Victor Bleeke, county agricultural stabilization and conservation committee, announced today. The payments are made under the wool incentive program on shorn wool and unshorn lambs sold during the 1957 marketing year which ended March 31, 1958. As recently determined, the 1957 wool incentive payments will amount to 15.5 per cent of the dollar returns —or $15.50 for every $lO0 —each producer received from the sale of shorn wool during the past marketing year. The payment rate on sales of unshorn lambs to compensate for the wool on them will be 33 cents per hundredweight of live animals sold. Bleeke explained that the shorn wool payment of 15.5 per cent represents the difference between the national average price of 53.7 cents per pound incentive level announced for the 1957 marketing year last October. He points out that the method of payment under the wool program is designed to encourage producers to do a good job of marketing their wool, and the grower who gets the best possible price for his wool also receives the largest incentive payment. Thus, a grower who sold his wool for 40 cents per pound, which is below the 1957 national average price of 53.7 cents per pound, will receive a payment of 6.2 cents per pound, based on the 15.5 per cent payment rate for 1957 marketings. This will give him a total return of 46.2 cents per pound. On the other hand, a grower who sold his wool for 60 cents per pound will receive a payment of 9.3 cents per pound, giving him a total return of 69.3 cents per pound for his wooL National Plowing Contest Underway City Bred Youth Is Winner In Contour HERSHEY, Pa.

Surplus Os Wheat To Reach Record Highs Anticipated Hike From Bumper Crop WASHINGTON (UPI) — The bumper wheat crop of 1958'may be good news to farmers but it spells SURPLUS to the Agriculture Department. The department reported Thursday the wheat surplus will rise to a record 1,300,000,000 bushels next July 1. Department experts expect it will be even higher in the marketing year beginning in mid-1960. The department’s publication, “The Wheat Situation,” said the whopping 1958 wheat crop was responsible for the anticipated hike in the surplus. The 1958 crop of 1,421,000,000 bushels—now almost harvested—is of record size, 50 per cent greater than last year, and 27 per cent above the 1947-56 average. The record production reflects principally the record high yield of 25.4 bushels per seeded acre. Other contributing factors include the smallest acreage abandonment in 20 years and a substantial increase in total acrege over 1957, almost all in winter wheat. The increase in acreage reflects less wheat land having been put in the soil bank acreage reserve program. The department estimated domestic wheat requirements for 1958-59 at about 610 million bushels, some 27 million bushels above 1957-58 because of increased feeding resulting from poor quality wheat. Exports for 1958-59 were forecast at about 400 million bushels, almost 2,500,000 bushels under the

FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 1958

estimated 1957-58 exports. Os the carry-over of 881 million bushels on July 1, the government owned or had under loan 854 million bushels. This left 27 million bushels of old-crop wheat in free supply on July 1. Last year the free supply amounted to about 53 million bushels. The department said prices will depend upon when the free wheat —bread grain ineligible for price support—is marketed. It said the average price to farmers in 195859 pay be lower than usual relative to the support price.
