11A Burlington (N.C.) Times-News, Tuesday, July II, 1972 Church To Take More Active Role Bishops Urge Social Action LAKE JUNALUSKA, N. C. (AP) The active and retired bishops of the United Methodist Church's Southeastern Jurisdiction told delegates to the quadrennial conference today that their denomination would take a more active stance toward social 1970s. problems in the In a joint message read by essary 60 per cent of the ballots for election. The retiring bishops are Paul Herrick of Dayton, Ohio, formerly of Richmond, who retired in 1970 after 12 years of service; Edward Pendergrass of Jackson, after eight years; John Owen Smith of Atlanta, Paul Hardin Jr.

of Co- Bishop W. Kenneth Goodson of Birmingham, the 550 delegates were told, "To be faithful to the gospel, in the present, the church must take upon itself the role of liberator." That role includes, Goodson said, "not only liberation from the social prisons of poverty, racism, sexism and war, but also the deeply personal prisons of guilt, fear and anxiety." Goodson said, "Out of the turmoil and tension of yesterday comes a leaner, stronger church, more earnestly committed to the task of being the church in the modern world." His address was the opening event of the conference, one of five" such meetings held throughout the nation this week. The Southeastern Jurisdiction includes North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky. Legislative committee meetings were held today. The delegates will cast the first ballot tonight in the election of bishops.

The conference is to elect six replacements for retiring bishops and to assign 11 bishops to their administrative areas for the next four years. The results of the first ballot were not expected to be in until Wednesday morning. And a conference spokesman said it would probably be Wednesday evening before any candidate got the nec- lumbia C. and James W. Henley, of Lakeland, all after 12 years; and Roy W.

Short of Louisville, after 24 years. The new bishops will be consecrated Sunday night with Bishop'Hardin, immediate pasl president of the church's Council of Bishops, delivering the sermon. They will serve for life or until retirement. Long-Delayed Fischer-Sp assky Match Begins Today By STEPHENS BROENING Associated Press Writer REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) American challenger Bobby Fischer and Russian defender Boris Spassky finally begin play this afternoon in the richest and most publicized world chess championship of all time unless some new snag develops. a t-minute adjustments were being made on the stage of Reykjavik's sports hall.

The playing table was shortened, the green-and-white marble chessboard constructed for the fourth time, and the overhead lighting changed. But these were small details compared to the tangled negotiations and war of nerves that preceded the encounter, originally set to start July 2. Spassky, 35, drew the white chessmen and with them the first move. Fisher, 29, of Brooklyn, N.Y., had the black pieces. One game will be played each Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, starting at 5 p.m.

1 p.m. EDT. National prestige was at stake for the defending Russian. The Soviet Union subsidizes chess and has dominated the game for decades. Fischer is the first foreigner to make it to the finals since 1948.

For Fischer, it is a question of money and personal prestige, of proving his claim tnat he is the best in the world. London oddsmakers rated the lanky American the favorite to win the 24-game, two-month competition and capture more than $180,000 of the estimated $300,000 a stake. The winner gets five-eighths of the $125,000 put up by the Icelandic Chess Federation, or $78,125, plus another $75,000 of the $120,000 provided by London investment banker James Slater to persuade Fischer to end his holdout last week. Organizers calculate Fischer and Spassky will divide at least another $55,000 from the sale of television and film rights. Both players stayed in secul- sion.

Spassky was reported nervous and upset. Former FBI Chief Here Relaxing CHARLOTTE (AP) The telephone no longer rings in the middle of the night at the aome of Robert M. Murphy, who retired June 30 as the FBI's agent in charge of North Carolina. But after 30 years with the bureau, Murphy sleeps lightly, frequently pats the spot on his chest where his badge used to be, and says it feels strange not to be going into the office on Monday morning. He no longer has to give the Charlotte office a telephone number at which he can be reached when he leaves his home.

He has disconnected the outside telephone buzzer that used to reach him as he worked in his garden. At the age of 55, Murphy now has time to paint some rooms in his house, to play golf, ar-d to reminisce about the crimes he solved and the criminals he caught. He doesn't know what he plans to do with the rest of his life as yet. But he says the FBI life is for young men, and it was time for him to get out. The resignation of the 6-1, 200 Ib.

agent came shortly after the death of J. Edgar Hoover, whom he calls "Mr. and regards as a "giant who will never be replaced." Murphy adds, though, that acting FBI director Patrick Gray is "a terrific man who will be outstanding." Murphy joined the FBI in 1941 at Binghamton, N. Y. He had been impressed while in college, he said, with the idez that political connections had no influence with the FBI.

He mentioned that Hoover believec in paying agents a salary that would prevent the need to moonlight and diminish the at tractiveness of bribes. His career in the FBI took him to places like Tokyo and Hong Kong, and to Norfolk where he was special agent in charge. Bight years ago, he accepted the same job in Charlotte. Murphy was not eager to re call or to glamorize the crimes he worked on. "I saw a lot dead children," he says.

But he thinks the criminals oj today are more bizarre thar those of an earlier time. "Dilli nger couldn't hold a candle tc Binest Jones," he said, men tioning the name of the man hi felt was the most notorious hi efver dealt with. Jones, who was captured las spring in. New York, wearing a bullet-proof suit, is now servini a 165-year term in a federa jail. He escaped early in 197 from a road gang in eastern North Carolina, kidnapped tw Marines from Camp Lejeun and then robbed four banks, in eluding two thefts at the sam bank in Fayettcviilc, thre months apart.

Murphy cites one more statis tic. "I never shot a man, an more important, no one eve shot at me." CONVERTIBLE Fischer, who favors sleeping in the daytime, was last seen at 1 a.m., Monday, when he visited the sports hall. He demanded that the mahogany playing table be shortened and that the overhead lights be changed. The challenger also agreed with the Russian's complaints that the squares on the chessboard were too large in relation to the size of the pieces.
