Msgr.

Thomas J. McCarthy of the. National Catholic Welfare Conference charged Yugoslavia la no different from Russia In Its attempt to destroy organised religion. Diplomats said the move certain to fan opposition to the administrations policy of limited cooperation with Tito In the Interests of European defense. But the 8tat Department remained silent.

Officials were luctant to talk In view, of the plosive diplomatic and domestic religious overtones involved. Monaignor McCarthy said Americas 29,000,000 Catholics could be expected to react strongly. Hs said Titos action was not only an attack on the church but a new "Insult" to the revered Yugoslav primate, Archbishop Aloyslus Stepi-nac." Tito charged, among other things, that the Vatican Interfered In Internal Yugoslav affairs and that the recent elevation of Steplnac to the College of Cardinals was "hostile and an Insult.

Spurlock, 88, a lumber company executive, said today he has developed a "perpetual motion machine" on directions from the Bible. Spurlock said he was convinced that a "mustard seed of faith will move a mountain." He will put his "amazing" machine into operation Christmas day, he said. -Physicists have demonstrated that the theory of perpetual motion Is Impossible. Spurlock disagrees. The giant steel machine, called an Ezekiel Wheel" after the book of Ezekiel, actually consists of two wheels 24 feet In diameter.

They are joined by connecting rods and have a combined weight of three and a half tons. Spurlock said there were 16 weights of pounds each which pivot on bearings and their constantly changing, positions provide the force needed to keep the wheels running. The lumberman said the reault-ln "perpetual motion" would develop some 88,000 horsepower. Spurlock said he was gambling his once-profltabla business on the belief the machine would work despite the fact that "everyone Is laughing at me. 'All that Is required Is a little faith," Spurlock said.
