Protestants Step Up Fight On Naming Vatican Envoy
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 28 (CDN) —Influential figures in six large Protestant denominations were named recently by the National Council of the Churches of Christ to co-ordinate efforts to defeat the naming of an ambassador to the Vatican. Presiding at a meeting of the council's 125-member governing board in St. Luke's Episcopal Church here, the Rt. Rev. Henry Knox Sherrill, council president, appointed the president of the United Lutheran Church in America to head the committee. He is Dr. Franklin Clark Fry, New York. Other committee members are Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam¢ Secretary of the Methodist Council of Bishops: Dr. Eugene
Va., a Southern Presbyterian institution; Dr. Reuben E. Nelson, General Secretary of The American Baptist Convention; and Dr. Douglas Horton, Minister at Large of the General Council of Congregational Christian Churches. All except Dr. Lacey are New Yorkers. The committee is charged with persuading a sufficient number of U. 8S. Senators of the unwisdom of the President's naming of Gen. Mark Clark to the Vatican post. It is expected to work extensively through the lawmakers’ own constituents of the 29 denominations numbered in the nationa! council. In announcing a month ago its opposition to representation at the

the flurry of activity in atomic fireworks is dramatic and spectacular testimony to the accelerated pate of the atomic armament race, a race that becomes ever swifter with the mounting deterioration of the international situation. Prior to this vear, the atomic bomb score stood at nine—a total of eight for the U. 8. and one for the USSR. The first bomb in the history of
the world was set off by the United States in a test at the _ Alamogordo Air Base in New

Mexico on July 16, 1945. The bomb was mounted on a steel tower and after the explosion it was found that the tower had gone up in vapor and completely disappeared. The desert sands where the tower had stood were found fused into a glass. The United States exploded two more bombs In 1945, the only two
ever used in actual warfare.
