He warned that the new church faces a shortage in pastors and that the alternative may be to ordain women into the church.

"There are no rules nor any policy on this matter since there has been no demand for the ordi-. nation of women as pastors in the church," he said. Prof. Poovey complained that ministries are running the- risk of breaking down "because of the crowding out of the real work of the ministry." He declared: Urges Laymen to Help "No American business would succeed if it misused the talents of its leaders the way the church often misuses the office of the ministry." He said it was the job of every layman to do all the tasks it can to relieve the ministry of minor chores. Mr.

Mueller, who was at St. John's from 1951 to 1954, when he left for Iraq, said hostile feelings in that nation were not antiChristian but "largely because of the Westernconceived Baghdad pact."

Williams said the blaze broke out just after 5 p.m. near a refrigeration unit in the basement and was followed by a series of small explosions. The store covered about a third of a block on the East side of the city near the downtown sections. Anti-Trust Proposal (Continued from Page 1) text of his talk, it was plain referred to all unions, not just the Teamsters. Such a uniform contract expiraetion would permit all unionized workers to strike at the same time.

Hoffa said he also opposes the Kennedy-Irvin bill of rights for union members now in Congress. "Because it is so loosely drafted and it is not the voice of the ple but of the director who administers it." Article Quoted He called Sen. John Kennedy co-author of the bill, "the young millionaire who never had to work and never had to soil his hands." Hoffa also alluded to the possibility of a nation-wide strike the current issue of Life magazine. Hoffa is quoted as saying: "We may eventually have what labor unions do in Europe and call general strikes. We are organizing in all transportation, fields.

We are trying to create conference of transportation unions. So we are now in a position to control the strike issues. "If Congress is stupid enough to pass a bill banning boycotts, we'll fix it so all our contracts expire on the same day." Calls It 'Crazy' In Washington, Sen. Pat McNamara himself a onetime Detroit union official, said any such strike "would be al, just crazy." "I think Hoffa has more sense than to do that," he said. "I note he is quoted as saying he 'can' call a strike, but not as saying that he will do it." Hoffa said he expects to return to the AFL-CIO in a few years.

He blamed his union's ouster on the leaders of the AFL-CIO and predicted the rank and file would oust them. Not a Chance Meany retorted quickly when he was told that Hoffa had said he wanted to get back into the AFLCIO. "He should live so long!" the AFL-CIO chief said. "We'll welcome the Teamsters back, but not with their leadership as presently constituted." The truck union was expelled in December, 1957, for failing to act corruption charges against Hofon fa and other Teamster officials.

"To suggest harnessing Germany in advance of reunification with imposed terms about which the German people have not been consulted holds out a most unhappy prospect. At any rate, that is the lesson of history." The Versailles treaty, signed June 28, 1919, stripped Germany of hundreds of square miles of border territory and all its colonies and provided for heavy reparations. The terms have been blamed for rise of Hitler, who repudiated the treaty and reparations agreements after gaining power in 1934. Couve de Murville delivered a 30-minute condemnation of the Soviet plan. 'Go Ahead and Arm' Gromyko retorted that the Western peace plan for a phased reunification of Germany would permit unlimited German rearmament.

He said: "It's slogan is. Germans go ahead and arm. This is not 1945, but 1959." This was a session of words and not deeds. Neither East nor West budged an inch during the threehour, 22-minute session on the pivotal problems before the conference the future of Germany and Berlin. Gromyko was disclosed to have delivered the threat of a new Berlin ultimatum if the West refused Moscow's terms for a German settlement in a private meeting Thursday with U.

sources said Herter or rebuffed the new with a warning that President Eisenhower would not go to any summit conference under duress. This, the sources said, would include any move to set a deadline for forcing the West's troops from isolated Berlin. Herter was chairman of day's meeting. He made no address, but a U. S.

spokesman said he would speak today in another effort to demolish Gromyko's case. The West had planned to try to get Gromyko into secret sessions by today in an effort to end the present stage of semi-public debating and get down to serious negotiations which would show whether a summit meeting was possible.

Lumas, 66, Shullsburg, died Tues. day night at Hazel Green hospital from injuries received in an auto accident. The accident happened last Sunday just before noon on Highway 11 near Leadmine when the car he was driving missed a curve and rolled over several times. This was Lafayette county's first fatal traffic accident this year.

Clinton P. Anderson chairman of the Joint Congressional Atomic Energy committee, predicted the full Senate would reject the nomination on the basis of "facts developed in the hearings." "I believe that opposition to the nominee will continue to grow during the floor debate as it did' during the hearings and that his confirmation is now most unlikely," Anderson said. But Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen (Ill.) told newsmen that he still thinks Strauss will be confirmed. Sen.

Stephen M. Young (D-0.) said in a statement that Mr. Eisenhower should withdraw nomination. He said the close committee margin "clearly indicates a lack of confidence on the part of nearly half the members of the committee." Strauss, around whose head has swirled thousands of words of praise and condemnation during the committee hearing, confined his comment Tuesday to one sentence: "I am grateful for the vote of the committee." Six Republicans and three Democrats voted for him. The eight "no" votes were all by Democrats.

Presidential nominations for cabinet posts usually slide through the Senate with no trouble, but such Democrats as Anderson and Sen. 1. Estes Kefauver (Tenn.) have made a hot issue of Strauss' fitness. The opposition has been based on Strauss' actions as chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), a post he resigned June 5. Anderson charged that as AEC chairman; Strauss violated a law requiring that he keep Congress fully advised on atomic matters.

He accused Strauss also of taking God-like credit for developing the hydrogen bomb. Strauss denied all this. One Out of Four a Cars Has Defects An average of one out of four cars has mechanical defects, a five-day "safety lane" check by state and local police in Dane and 13 surrounding counties revealed last week. Capt. Earl O.

Wolff, of the state traffic patrol, reported Tuesday afternoon that of 13,938 cars checked. 3,726 were found to have defects. A total of 3,595 of the car owners received notices to have their car defects corrected in five days, 122 were given arrest tickets for extreme violations, and nine were issued warning tickets, Capt. Wolff said. The safety-lane checks were conducted in 60 villages and cities and 13 towns in Dane, Columbia, Dodge, Jefferson, Walworth, Green, Rock, Iowa, LaFayette, Crawford, Grant, Richland, Sauk, and Vernon counties.

The most prevalent violations involved lights, Capt. Wolff reported. A total of 1,499 cars had faulty stop lights, 939 had defective directional signals, 607 had no tail lights, and 469 had improper head lights. Another 405 cars had defective brakes. In Dane county, where county traffic police aided in the safety checks, 3,365 cars were inspected, 784 drivers were given notices to have their car defects corrected in five days, and 11 other car owners were given arrest tickets.

Senate Republicans killed off three more Democratic amendments to the Senate GOP substitute budget measure.

The upper house had debated the budget bill all last Thursday and Friday, too, passing three GOP and two Democratic amendments and rejecting about two dozen additional Senate minority party amendments. Calls It Responsible Draheim said the GOP substitute budget was responsible to the needs of the public and state taxpayers. He said Wisconsin has outstanding department heads but that those agency leaders are "supersalesmen" and are sometimes inclined to over-sell the actual fiscal needs of their departments. The GOP budget bill is more than 13 per cent higher than for the executive budget spending of the present biennium ending June 30. Sen.

Chester Dempsey (R- Hartland) suggested that the Republican substitute bill was perhaps too generous. "We should stay within the state's income," Dempsey "I don't think anyone suffered under the state spending program under the (former Gov. Vernon) Thomson administration." Sen. Lynn Stalbaum (D Racine), charged that the Republican substitute budget was introduced merely for GOP propaganda, that it was inconsistent a and insincere, and was not intended to stand on its own feet. Work Against Time "We have undertaken to do a job which the governor and the Democratic party has failed to do -providing a two-year budget," responded Sen.

Kirby Hendee (R- Milwaukee). "'We had to work against time and with what we had. We felt it was our responsibility and we are willing to answer to the voters for it." Sen. Henry Maier (D-Milwaukee), Democratic minority floor leader, charged that the Republican budget was "incompetent and inadequate." Sen. Allen Busby (R-Milwaukee) said the Democrats offered a host of amendments to the Senate GOP substitute budget only with the aim of destroying the GOP budget.

He charged Democrats with wasting time which could have been spent with more value by the committee on conference. "I think the taxpayers want a budget that has been cut," said Sen. Robert W. Travis (R-Platteville), GOP majority floor leader. "Let the voters decide next year who's right." Clarify Budgets, Governor Urges Gov.

Gaylord Nelson Tuesday asked all agencies to begin preparing 1960-61 budget requests in a new narrative form that can be easily understood by the Legislature, the press, and the pub lic. Nelson's request for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1960, was forwarded to all state agencies. Instructions called for clear explanation of the objectives and benefits of all agency projects. He asked agencies to identify their programs, relate sources of financing, cite statutory, authority for each program, furnish workload data on each. Nelson also asked departments to project proposed expenditures into the 1961-63 biennium.

Auto-Lite Union Denies It Caused Closing of Plant (Continued from Page 1) LA CROSSE (UPI)-The United Auto Workers Tuesday denied that excessive labor costs and unrest played a decisive part in the Electric Auto-Lite Co. deci-, sion to close its plant here July 3, idling 1,300 persons. F. L. Lambert, chairman of the bargaining committee for UAW Local 396, made the denial on the heels of notification by the compay that offers of contract renegotiation by the union came too late to save the plant.

"We enjoyed better labor relain the plant in La Crosse than probably any plant in the corporation," Lambert declared. "We definitely had less labor troubles than either Bay City or Toledo, the plants where the work is being transferred." Lambert blamed shipping costs, deterioration of equipment at the La Crosse facility, and increasing parts manufacture by the big three automakers for the closing. J. P. Falvey, board chairman of Electric Auto-Lite, in a letter rejecting the Lambert offer of contract re-negotiation, said the company told the community during contract negotiations before, during, and after a two-month strike last fall that "drastic changes" would be necessary to keep the plant operating.

After the strike, Falvey said, "We stated that the resulting contract would not enable the company to bid successfully for 1960 business."
