Bum- merti Minneapolis, editor of the Year Book. Experiences in Japan where she served under the missionary program of the church for three years, were related by Miss Brattain who said "There are not too many differences the people there (in Japan) are much the same as the people anywhere. "We went to Japan to share but received much more than we could return we went to teach Christianity but when we saw what Christianity meant to the Christian Japanese, we also learned." She spoke of the material help which Communism appears to offer those in want in Japan and of the changes in Japan since the signing of the peace pact. She queried what lies ahead in Japan and asserted that much depends on "our attitude toward war and peace, toward racial prejudices and toward poverty in other lands." Professor Irwin explained the purposes of the World Student Conference, held the past year in India, and its commission groups which review the work of the past three years and outline the work for the coming three years, the conference being held only once in three years. The group to which he was assigned was concerned with the student Christian movement in universities.

He pointed out that the student movement is but a part of the Church as a whole, and gave as its primary aims, the retaining of a feeling of gratitude toward the church community from which the student has come and the need to return a more efficient worker to the church upon completion of the student's work in school. Mrs. T. Otto Nail, member of the Woman's Division of Christian Service, in her closing talk this afternoon on "Proclaim the Good News--Around the World," listed five verbs as representative of the purpose of the Woman's Society of Christian Service which is an organization of action with 1,700,000 members in 34 countries of the world. The verbs as given by the speaker were "To unite--all women of the church in living: To develop- spiritually; To study the needs of the world; To help support Christian work around the world, and To take part in local club and community activities." Mrs.

Nail, i afternoon, stressed the need for 100 new workers in i i schools, churches and social centers in this country and the immediate need Eor 300 new foreign missionaries to work as nurses, doctors and teachers, particularly Bible, English and domestic science teachers. "This year, she said, "many young people are going to India, Malaya, Latin America and Africa for three-year terms of service. The hope of peace is through lifting the ideals and ways of living of peoples and through creating good will and understanding among all peoples. Toward this end all members of the Woman's Society of Christian Service are working." Mrs. Marcus Maynard, state president, Minneapolis, in her message to the society, this afternoon commended especially seven of the officers of the Woman's Society who are going out of office, Mrs.

Harold Van Krevelen, secretary of student work has served five years, and the four who have served four-year terms, Mrs. R. J. Rice, Minneapolis, secretary of social relations and local church activities; Mrs. James Geer, Excelsior, missionary service; Mrs.

L. Shepley, St. Paul, literature and publications, and Mrs. Earl Mather, Madelia, status of women. Two have completed three years, Mrs.

A. D. Stedman, missionary personnel, St. Paul, and Mrs, Russell Hubbard, Duluth, secretary of children's work. The speaker stressed the fact that "it costs something to be an officer of the Conference WSCS.

These women have given tirelessly of their time, energy, service and gifts that the conference work might go forward. These women have attended jurisdictional summer sessions at Lake Forest, 111., in order that they might be able to teach at the summer institute at Hamline University which the Woman's Society sponsors so that district and local officers may be better prepared for their jobs." She extended a welcome to those who are assuming a conference office for the first time "with all its joys and opportunities and its consequent responsibilities." She continued "I am still convinced that the local member in the society is the most important person. Upon these 28,105 members lies the responsibility of raising our pledge of $90,000 for the coming year. The Minnesota Conference put on a special drive to study proposals of the Legislature and also to vote Christian men and women into office. Prayer circles have been formed to pray for peace, for our missionaries and for our leaders in the government." The afternoon session opened with prayer by Mrs.

John Tallman, Dodge City, and the district roll call of societies by Mrs. G. C. Allen, Minneapolis. Mrs.

John Riesch, Winona, provided the music. Installation and dedication of the officers by Dr. Truman Potter, Winona, preceded Mrs. Maynard's address. At this morning's session which opened with an organ prelude by Miss Agnes Bard, Winona, Mrs.

Dulles Arrives In Paris for NATO Meeting PARIS W)--Secretary of State John Foster Dulles arrived by plane today from Washington for the North Atlantic Council meeting.

The United States, he said, has "great faith in NATO and we want to make it a success." "Perhaps we have a few ideas on how to make it a success which we will discuss with our partners," he told reporters at the airfield. With Dulles were Secretary of the Treasury George M. Humphrey and Mutual Security Director Harold E. Stassen. The three-day NATO meeting opens tomorrow.

Defense Secretary Charles Wilson and Gen. Omar N. Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, already are in Europe to attend.

Also in the mill are plans for construction of 890 million dollars worth of airbases, fuel supply systems and communications and air warning networks to service the Allied air forces in Europe.

Rochester Youth Admits Killing Pal ROCHESTER, Minn. --William J. Mueller, 17, a Rochester High School senior, told authorities Tuesday how a 16-year-old companion was shot and killed while they played "commandos" at a stone quarry near here. The youth confronted with tests indicating his gun might have killed Sanford P. Ward 16, Saturday told William Bennyhoff, state crime agent, and sheriff's deputies about the shooting.

He said an earlier story he told authorities about finding the youth unconscious was "false." Mueller said he and Ward tired of shooting at targets in the quarry and decided to play "commandos." He said the game works like this: An objective is picked out, like a rock or hole in the ground. The two contestants then get an equal distance from the objective. Each tries to reach the objective without being seen by the other. If a contestant sees the other, he fires a warning shot between that contestant and the objective. The boy thus warned must then change his course to the objective.

First contestant to reach the objective wins the game. Mueller said Ward spotted him and fired a warning shot. He said he spotted Ward then and fired warning shots. He said after he spotted Ward and again fired warning shot he didn't see the youth again. Mueller said he fired several more warning shots, and when he didn't get a response he went to the car to see if the youth had gone there to get warm.

When he didn't see him in the car, he said he went to the quarry again and found him wounded. He said he drove as close to the scene as possible and dragged the wounded youth to the car. He drove Ward to a hospital, where he died 24 hours later. AMERICANS (Continued from Gay sai'd. "They didn't kill them-just put them in the hospital." He said the rest of the prisoners stopped and refused to go out until an English-speaking guard led the way.

Labor Camp After such disturbances, LeGay said, the Chinese usually "picked out an instigator." He said these men and others who "were against them (the Communists) all the way" were sent to a labor camp. "We didn't see them again," he said. LeGay said lot tried to escape. But they didn't get anywhere. They were brought back, The camp did not have barbed wire around it.

"One American was taken away to confinement for a month or so. When they brought him back to jail he just about couldn't make it. He was all bandaged up. They had to have beat him the way he looked." The stories told here were another chapter in the series of atrocity stories told earlier at Freedom Village, where the prisoners taken from Panmun- jom. One American said that of 700 men who started a forced march north only 287 arrived at their destination.
