Pastor Talks of War Guilt

By CHARLES P. ARNOT United Press Staff Correspofident BERLIN, Aug. 6. — Black-robed Pastor Eberhard Roehricht -looked down from his pulpit upon 150 sadfaced elderly German men and women. “Perhaps God's mercy was’ never nearer than today, now that all earthly refuge has been taken,” the pastor said. “It is ‘only Christ who can help us now.” In the rear of the church an old man sobbed. He clutched his shaven head between two thin hands. It was Sunday morning in Berin. Soldiers Check Sermon

Three American soldiers of German descent stood inside the church. They had come to find out if Pastor Roehricht disobeyed the American military government's edict. The AMG's only rule is that Ger-

man pastors must not “engage in:

the dissemination of Nazism or mili« tarism.” Roehricht passed this test. Not once did he mention the Big Three,

the Nazis or the stern measures, “We have to learn Christ what it means loyal to one's country, to remain faithful,” the pastor continued. “What can our people expect from us? We must love our country even if this love ht hurt.” A woman in black wept quietly. “Can't Stand Aloof” “It's difficult to broach the question of who is guilty,” he added, “but” it’s also dangerous to talk of a nation’s guilt as though oneself were not part of this nation —as though its fate were not ours,

BARUCH: KEEP DEALS

WITH RUSS FRIENDLY

NEW YORK, Aug. 68 (U, P)~ Bernard M. Baruch, administration

adviser, said in a letter published

yesterday in the Dally Worker, Communist party organ, that he hoped the United States and Russia would be able to deal “on ®& friendly basis.” u “I recognize,” he wrote, ‘“‘we have a different political system and a different economic system. They are-entitled to have what they want and we are entitled to“have what we want. If all of us were wise, we would find some common

ground on ‘which we could lve in |

peace because there is so much-in

the world for everyone which could

be made available if -we but used half the wisdom and intelligence with which we are endowed.” The letter to the Daily Worker was in' response to an editorial which Baruch thought gave the impression he doubted the United

States and the Soviet Union could

maintain friendly relations.
