PEACE E IN

E WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (UP) Government hopes for sustained labor peace soared today to the highest point since the end of the war. - A high administration official said .that the contract extending from February 15 until May 1 in the steel industry was "just the thing we needed" to encourage high production and help bring prices down. ' As a result of the favorable developments in the steel-wage dispute, President Truman was reported to feel that the labormanagement unrest which has harrassed production since the war is disappearing1 and 1947 will be a year of prosperity. The darkened cloud on the horizon was the possibility of another soft coal strike by the United Mine Workers of John L. Lewis on March 31. However, j Mr. Truman was reported veering toward a position that the ( mines should be returned to the private owners as a spur to I a collective bargaining settlement of the wage dispute in the industry.

Ask Religious Leaders Mobilize For Real Peace CHICAGO Declaring "an uneasy peace'' is "an all too meager reward for the horrors of a global war," a call to action has been sent out to religious leaders of America by a Committee of One Hundred preparing for the 21st International Sunday School Convention to be held at Des Mioines, Iowa, July 23-27, under the auspices of the International Council of Religious Education. Serving on the Committee of One Hundred, of which James L. Kraft, Chicago, is chairman, are leaders in the fields of government, education and religion, in cluding Justice Owen J. Roberts of Philadelphia and Washington, D. C.; Charles P. Taft, Cincinnati; Judge Harold E. Archor and Dif. T. Franklin Miller, Anderson, Ind.; and Dr." George Oliver Taylor, H. B. Holloway and Isaac Woodard, Indianapolis. Ind. Pointing out that "the Church faces a chaotic and confused world which seems bent upon "self-destruction," the call makes a strong plea for1 the Protestant evangelical forces to "mobilize themselves for effective Christian teaching." "Here at home we see rising social and " economic tensions, recial antagonisms and a loss of national morale," the call asserts. "In small communities and large cities juvenile delinquency broken homes, sex immorality, alcoholism, and an amazing indifference to political morality alarms us all. A wide-spread ignorance of the teachings of the Bible dismays all serious persons." The Christian Gospel is the only hope in all of this tumult, the' call to action declared, and it issued a challenge to Sunday school superintendents, teachers and officers to rally in a great united effort to arouse people to a deeper concern for the moral and spiritual needs of persons. It is expected that 10,000 lay workers in Sunday schools of the United States and Canada from 40 Protestant denominations and 173 state, city and provincial councils of churches and religious education will attend the Con vention, according to the Rev. Carl H. Wilhelm, convention executive secretary .for the International Council. ' MARRIAGE LICENSES Raymond L. Anderson, discharged veteran, Hymera, and Mary M. West, Jasonville.
