(AP)--A Pres byterinn minister who wrote national magazine article on ra cial harmony has been dismisse after several years of disharmony and unrest among members of his congregation. The Robert B.

McNeill pastor of the First Presbyterian church, was dismissed Sunday bj a judicial commission of. the Southwest Georgia Presbytery. The eight-man commission saic the action was taken because "the interests of religion imperatively demand it." The decision was read by the Rev. Frank C. King of Valdosta chairman of the group, to a stunned and subdued congregation.

The announcement came without advance notice although the commission statement was dated June 2. McNeill said he was informed of the impending action Wednesday. The 44-year-old gray-haired pastor said he was surprised by the action but had not decided whether to submit the matter to a higher court. King said the dismissal was "in no sense a rebuke'to-Mr. McNeill.

Ve are just trying prog- and feel more can be accomplished this way." He urged all church officers to in their posts and said "this concerns no one but Mr. McNeill." The commission statement said McNeill would continue to receive his salary until Sept. 1 and.could occupy the minister's residence until then. McNeill said several years ago the church organized a Negro congregation in Columbus. When they were unable to secure a Negro pastor, the white church employed a retired white minister.

McNeill said this burned some members of the" congregation. Opposition to him came to a head after Look magazine published an article he wrote on May 28, 1957, in which he discussed ways of bringing racial harmony to the South through creative between leaders of both races."

Nantucket's charm today is perfect example of an ill wind nally blowing some good.

Retired whaling cap tains built stately homes alon Main street which had been cob blestoned with ship ballast. Boom Collapses The whaling boom collapsed in a few years, largely because sane bars across the outer harbor buil up so that heavily laden i could not cross.

New Bedford took over the whaling supremacy of the world and Nantucket entered an economic depression that lasted half a century. But in recent years more money is made in a few months from 100,000 summer visitors than ever was harpooned on a four-year whaling voyage. Islanders say you can't be a native if you weren't born on Nantucket. But they smile when they hear visitors of a few days sighing as they pack up to go home to the hustle-bustle of the mainland.

To increase the yield at maturity to per cent the Treasury is likely to shorten the period of maturity (you'll still pay $75 for a S10Q bond). But, as in the case of the present bonds, the per cent yield be paid if the bonds are redeemed in the early years after purchase. Why does the Treasury want to pay higher interest rates on your savings bonds? First, at present rates bonds have been turned in for redemption than new bonds have been sold.

Those who redeemed them lured by higher returns from other investments. That's a drain on the Treasury--at a time when it's been running a deficit--that it can't afford. Second, sale of savings bonds is almost free of the taint of inflation. They can't be sold, as many other government securities can only redeemed.
