By FREDERICK WOLTMAN “Seripps-Howard Staff Writer KANSAS CITY, Dec. 20—A strong attack-on America's foreign policies ‘and a glowing defense of Russia's| were made over the week-end by speakers atthe annual méeting of the Methodist Federation for Social Action,.an unofficial adjunct of the Methodist Church The story of Mary and Jisus, the spirit »¢ Christmas and the Sermon on the Mount were invoked as justifications for the attack on the U. 8 and the praise of the Union Speakers denounced the Marshall Plan, the Truman Doctrine, America's atomic energy stand and our Chitna policy, Religion was made the basic argument before about 75 delegates, ircluding” Methodist bishops, clergymen and church workers

Accuses Capitalists The keynoter on American-soviet relations was Dr. Jerome Davis, long an ardent Boviet apologist. He accused American “capitalistic Interests and newspapers of perpetrating falsehoods about the soviet Union.” Dr. Davis urged "that “America be the Good Samaritan to Russia “The Christmas story, the story
of Mary,” declared another speaker
means-"not the improvement of the present social order but its revolutionary abolition and replacement anew” a He was the federation’s executive secretary, the Rev. Jack McMich-
gel, 36, who was once active in the Young Communist League and has
been a diligent supporter of Com
munist fronts He accused the United States of backing “the rich and privileged of the world, the princes. on their thrones. the grafters and the rich exploiters in China." Dr. Davis said “The greatest moral and spititual problem facing
the American people is not the struggle between communism and democracy. That is a spurious’ issue It is the struggle hetween reaction, the old order, the control of property end an emerging new order pushing its way up #hrough blood, tears and strife.” 5.° Church to Get Program The subject of the conference was “The Christian Church and Pres-ent-Day Tensions.” The social-ac-tlon program formulated here, according to Mr. McMichael, will be presented to the Methodist Church for its formal adoption. What the meeting's planners had in mind for the federation’s stand on international affairs was evident from their literature display. It con tained many books and pamphlets on the Soviets but not one by an adverse critic.
