The assembly has been in session at San Francisco's Civic Audi. torium since last Sunday.

The meeting concludes today. It brought together more than 000 church leaders from all parts of the nation. They represented 34 major denominations with 40 million members. To a degree that surprised even the most ardent advocates of Christian unity, the assembly was dominated by a spirit of impatience with denominational barriers, a feeling that the time has come for bold and dramatic action to heal the divisions in the Christian family. J.

Irwin Miller, newly-elected president of the national council, told a news conference that "the most remarkable development at this assembly was the widespread acceptance by the delegates of the urgent necessity of churches coming together in more than a operative sense." Drive Unexpected Miller said the emphasis on driving forward toward full, organic unity was "unexpected" by council leaders, and simply welled up "strongly and continuously" from the assembly itself. It was reflected in a "message to the church" which was adopted unanimously by the assembly Thursday. The message scored the "glacial slowness" with which Christian bodies have been moving toward reunion.

The victim, Kenneth Feinberg, who had been a checker for a trucking firm for less than a week apparently detonated the bomb when he turned the ignition key of his flashy white convertible Thursday morning. The explosion was heard three blocks away from Feinberg's Forest Hills apartment. "They Killed Him" "The They killed him! They killed him!" Feinberg's father shouted after he identified his son's body.

And Feinberg's fiancee, a petite, light brown-haired girl in toreador pants, said the same thing in a scream when she was brought to the apartment for questioning: "They killed him. They killed him." Detectives questioned at least a dozen men Thursday trying to find out who "they" were. Also questioned late Thursday night was Feinberg's fiancee, whom detectives would not identify.

Rail Museum Plan Is Told A dual program consisting of a talk on physical fitness by George Parks, secretary of the Decatur County YMCA, and an explanation of hopes held for use of the abandoned railroad track between Westport and Sardinia as a tourist attraction by Don Montgomery and John Paul Taylor was presented at the Westport Kiwanis Club meeting Thursday night. Parks emphasized the need for older men, particularly, to engage in exercise for health purposes. He cited the value of physical conditioning as a deterrent to organic disorders, such as heart disease, and explained how many persons after being afflicted regain a measure of health through controlled exercising. His appearance was arranged by Wayne Ziegler. Montgomery and Taylor stated the Indiana Museum of Transport and Communications was in development of a rail museum, which might be located at Westport, in connection with possible use of the section of track as an interurban car tourist attraction.

The Kiwanis Club gave its endorsement to the project, if such a museum could be located at Westport, and the Westport town board, which met with the two after the meeting, also pledged its cooperation in the venture.

It said a speeded-up drive, for "full, visible unity" should be undertaken now at the "grass roots" level of local congregations. "We discern a clear call churches in local communities to closed association and a far larger measure of cooperation and Christian unity," the assembly declared.

The moon is approaching its last quarter. The morning stars are Mars Mercury. The evening stars are Jupiter and Saturn. On this day in history: In 1608, John Milton, one of the great poets of literary history, was born. In 1793, Noah Webster established "The American -New York's first daily newspaper.

In 1907, seals went on sale in Wilmington, office: The proceeds were to devoted to the campaign tuberculosis. In 1920, President Woodrow Wilson received the Nobel Peace Prize for 1919. In 1941, China declared war against Japan, Germany and Italy. Thought for today: English poet John Milton said: "Peace hath her victories no less renown'd than war." "Every congregation needs to recognize itself first of all as a part of Christ's universal church and only thereafter as a representative of a particular historic tradition." The message was drafted by aj committee headed by the Rev. Dr.

Henry Pitney Van Dusen, president of Union Theological Seminary, with most of the writing done by the Rev. Dr. Truman B. Douglass, a Congregationalist home missions executive. Drs.

Van Dusen and Douglass sought to include in the message a proposal that the national council itself be given more "churchly" attributes, including the right to "commission" ministers and to arrange for administration of the sacraments. Idea Rejected This idea was rejected by a ma-1 jority of the committee. But Drs. Van Dusen and Douglass told a news conference that much of the opposition was based on the "timing" rather than the "principle" of the proposal. Although most of the message was concerned with the quest for unity, one section called attention to the growing participation of laymen in church life.

It applauded this trend, and said: "Every member of the church is called to minlister Christ's mercy and redemption to his fellow men and to serve the church in its program. The layman is as accountable to God to prosecute Christ's mission in the world as are the clergy." Miller's election as president of the "council made the same point, in more dramatic fashion. A 51-year-old banker-industrialist of Columbus, Miller is the first layman ever to head the organization. He will serve as a chief spokesman for U. S.

Castro Squawks On Rocket Fragments By Matthew T. Kenny Havana (UPD Premier Fidel Castro's government charged Thursday night the accidental shower of rocket fragments that fell on eastern Cuba last week was part of a "tremendous U. plot" against Cuba.

A protest note handed to U. S. Charge D'Affaires Daniel Braddock just before midnight took no notice of the U. S. request that the rocket fragments be returned for study.

It had been reported earlier that the Castro regime might hand them over to Soviet space experts. An unsuccessfully launched ThorAble-Star rocket was destroyed in flight high over the Atlantic. An assortment of fragments fell in a farm area outside the city of Holguin. Contend Cow Killed Although no human casualties were caused and damage was minor, the Castro regime charged one of the fragments killed a cow. The note was largely a rehash of Castroite charges blaming the United States for virutally every act of opposition to the Castro regime which has been formally recognized as "Communisttrolled" by U.

Chicago (UPD An editorial in the American Medical Association (AMA) Journal today diagnosed the "Dodge City" syndrome: "What happens is that the patient-to-be is too slow on the draw and too fast with his trigger finger, so that he fires the weapon before it is disengaged from the holster and while it is still pointed down at his foot."

Bush said that Mexican sources told him that Fidel Castro's Cuban regime has been withdrawing its funds from Mexico City banks and depositing them in Canadian banks. "Apparently they are buying anything they want in Canada," Bush said in an interview. The Connecticut senator has just returned from a three-week tour of Central America for the Senate Armed Services Committee. He visited Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico and the U. S.

naval base at Guantanamo, Cuba. "I can't understand Canada's attitude," Bush said.

TONIGHT LAST TIME UNDER TEN FLAGS SATURDAY ONLY BEYOND TIME THE The AmaZing BARRIER TRANSPARENT MAN AN AMERICAN-INTERNATIONAL PICTURE Earlier told reports from Cuba of new fighting in the Corralillo area, 110 miles east of Havana, where a daylong battle between Castroite troops antigovernment guerrillas was reported Tuesday.

Using Heavy Mortars The Castroites were reported using heavy mortars against their foes at Corralillo. There was no report of casualties, nor was there any indication of the size of the forces involved. Corralillo lies in open country, less than 7 miles from the north coast, and there was speculation Thursday that the forces were "invaders." Reports from the scene, however, described them as inmates of a collective farm who had risen against the government. The farmers were said to be angered by Castro's failure to improve their lot and by demands that they take military training during their free time. The government, following the traditional Cuban custom of announcing only victories, made no official mention of the Corralillo battle.
