Borne 600 to 1,000 ILA members planned to take part in the union's protest of what it contends is unfair government Intervention in its Jurisdictional dispute with an AFL dock union. An "urgent" meeting of ILA leaders also was called for Philadelphia tomorrow, presumably to discuss strategy in the union's 24-day-old port of New York strike. Walkout Under Fire The union's walkout in defiance of a federal injunction Is under fire from federal and state agencies. Secretary of Labor James P.

Mitchell and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey denounced the walkout as "primarily a criminal conspiracy" in a Joint statement yesterday. The statement promised coordin ated state and federal action to end the walkout No specific plan was announced but it was Indicated that a drive to end the strike would begin early in the week. The New York-New Jersey water front Commission Indicated that mass prosecutions may be brought against persons who have "acted illegally" to keep the longshoremen away from their Jobs.

The full NLRB board on Tues day will consider the report, which charged the ILA with exercising threats and violence on election day.

Moock said his notification termed the meeting "urgent."

Because of the downpour at the time, the rain leaked through to the bedrooms. Estimated loss was 6200. as part oi tne annual program which this year has a goal of for Its world relief council. In a message to the Church World Service, Oov. J.

Caleb Boggs likened the program to the Good Samaritan who "when he found a man along the highway, without questioning his race, creed or color, went to his assistance. Churches participating in the program here yesterday were largely Lutheran and Presbyterian, with Episcopal and Methodist churches taking part at different times. Pastor Neumeyer, taking his text from the Laetare Sunday Gospel of the feeding-of the 6,000, related it to this world relief program in which he said the Lutheran Church was one of the first participants. He described the program as one with many tangible assets, material as well as spiritual Last year alone, he said, the Lutheran Church clothed 1,500,000 people, a figure that when added to the work of other Protestant denominations and the Roman Catholic program reaches tremendous proportions. Why, he asked, should the church be engaged in this kind of work when the federal government hu resources so much more vast? The answer Is that many times the church can reach people with pure Christian love and unques tioned motives, while experience hu shown that the United Nations and other governmental relief ef forts are regarded with suspicion in many parts of the world.

A second, but just as important factor, is the combat with commu nism. The Christian church, he said, hu been eminently successful here, particularly in East Germany, which is of particular interest to the Lutherans, since 80 per cent of those in communist Germany are Lutherans. The Christian church, he said, hu been reaching them and sup porting them through physical and spiritual help and we naturally be lieve this to be one of the bulwarks against communism." The overall program, he said, is the type of help that only the church can render. In the First and Central Church service devoted to the same program the pwtor, the Rev. Dr.

Wlllard G. Purdy, spoke oa the text, "For the son of man is come to save that which is tost." Dr. Purdy said that the church. In its beginning, went out to the slave, the outcast and the general lower strata of society that com' posed half to two-thirds of the Ro man Empire. The church," he said, "has al ways ministered to the lower classes of society, Christ came to save lost souls; Christ came to save the Pharisee; Christ came to save the world from the wreckage of wrath and war, and Christ came to save us from death unto life everlasting.

"That's why we've had today this 'One Great Hour of because the church is in the world today to seek and save that which is lost-to save it for God, to save it for Christ, to save the lost for His church and His Kingdom." There wu one note of sadness at tne First and Central service. The (HBEST OPEN FREI MERINO 'TBINCI OF riEATSS" Ab "IBB UST FOSSk" ijlio sin a Gtv. Priili Sti OHk StM t. M.
