In resolutions passed Wednesday, tjie churchmen, ( ufged repeal of laws prohibiting the availability of means and information on planned parenthood and the abolition of the death penalty but let stand, at least temporarily, a controversial resolution on labor relations.

The motion struck from the record part of a resolution saying “the restriction of collective bargaining” was “detrimental to labor - management cooperation.” , Over Z. 500 Dally Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur each day.

The cards will be on display in the library. 464 Enrolled 'There was no summer reading program last summer, while repairs were being made at the library; however, two years ago more than 500 children were enrolled by the last week of May. This' year 464 are enrolled. Enrollment can be made at any time. Each child will be allowed to check out one book at a time until the first 10 are read; then they may check out four at a time. Good books that have been proved by the test of time will be stressed this year, and each child will be encouraged to read at least 20 cooks during the summer. Children who read during the summer get off to a faster start during the next school year, and are more alert, teachers report. Several children have read more than 200 books during the summer program which will end the last of August. School Percentage So far this year 192 of the 835 Lincoln school children have signed up for the program; this is 22.99%, the lowest of any of the city schools.

Secy. Dulles * Laid To Rest In Arlington WASHINGTON (UPI) — An Army bugler sent the sad notes of "Taps” out over the wooded hills of Arlington National Cemetery. A slight woman, her mournful face covered by a filmy black veil that rippled in the light breeze, held’ out her arms. A clergyman stepped forward and gently handed her an American flag folded in a trim triangle. The flag came from the casket of John Foster Dulles. The woman who received it Wednesday was his wife who had ranged the world with the fallen secretary of state as he bustled from country to country in quest of peacePresident Eisenhower, as somber as his friends had ever seen him, moved to her side, placed his hand on her shoulder and whispered what comfort he could. Mamie Comforts Mrs. Dulles Mrs. Eisenhower followed her her husband and put both arms around Janet Dulles, kissing her left cheek. The Eisenhowers left quickly through the crowd. Mrs. Dulles could haVe received condolences for an hour from the notables of the world, from Chief Justice Earl Warren to Madame Chiang Kaishek, from Russia’s Andrei Gromyko to West Germany’s aged Konrad Adenauer. But the widow wanted no more of. public mourning. She walked with her sons and daughter to the family limousine and quickly departed. With the family gone, the burial experts of Arlington Cemetery went about their business efficiently. At 4:27 Mrs. Dulles left, at 4:31 the casket was lowered into the grave. A heavy bronze lid for the outer coffin cover was brought in on a crane and lowered in place. A dump truck backed up to the grave and cascaded a shower of red dirt on the coffin. It was not yet 5 o’clock. A cemetery official walked to the head of the grave and stuck a small printed marker into the soft earth. On it was the legend. “Lot 31, John Foster Dulles, May 27, 1959.” Thus ended the mortal record of John Foster Dulles who went to the grave a fallen hero of his battle for peace. It was a curious day in many ways. Standing 30 feet from the grave, apart from the foreign ministers of the West, was one of Dulles’ chief adversaries of the cold war. Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko of Russia. Wednesday was the day when Gromyko’s boss, Nikita Khrushchev, had originally planned to throw the world into turmoil by pushing the Allies out of West Berlin. The deadline was put aside, due in part to the negotiations Dulles conducted before his death. If any emotion flickered through Gromyko's mind, he kppt it masked.
