cow, presented the plea to
Soviet President Nikolai Fodg
orny at a Kremlin ceremony for

credentials.
A U.S. spkesman said
Podgorny, in his formal re

Griffin District
Will Participate
In Faith Venture
The Griffin District of the Me
thodist Church is partiepating
in the largest evangelistic em
phasis ever attempted by a Pro
testant denomination in Geor
gia.
Sponsored by the North and
South Georgia Conference Bo
ards of Evangelism, the program
includes community surveys, sc
hools of evangelism, personal vi
sitation campaigns, and preach
ing missions.
The emphasis, called “A Ven
ture In Faith”, will be climax
ed with two weeks of “total ev
angelism in every local church”
in February and March. North
Georgia Conference ministers
are scheduled to preach in Sou
th Georgia pulpits Feb. 5-9. Sou
th Georgia ministers will, in
turn, preach in the Nflrth Geor
gia Conference, March 5-9.
Co-directors of "A Venture In
Faith” are the Rev. Reynolds
Greene, Jr., minister of First
Methodist Church in LaGrange,
and the Rev. F. J. Beverly of
Waycross, Executive Secretary
af Evangelism and Church Ex
tension for the South Georgia
Conference.
According to the directors, "A
Venture In Faith” is the most
up-to-date evangelism approach
ever made by Methodists in
Ceorgia. Both Georgia confer
ences have underwritten a lar
ge advertising budget for pro
motion of the program. Between
Jan. 15 and March 15, Methodists
will saturate the state with ad
vertising through billboards,
radio, television, newspapers,
and various printed materials.

Monday, January 23, 1967
to a smaller room in the great
Kremlin Palace for an hour of
“substantive” talks, the sgpkes
man said. The content of the
talks was not disclosed.
Thompson came to Moscow
bearing a personal, private
ietter from Johnson to Kremlin
leaders.
He called the “maintenance of
peace” the key problm in the
world today, but noted that
"there are other problems
which demand attention.”
In an apparent call for Soviet
American cooperation toward a
nuclear non-proliferation pact,
Thompson decried “the growing
burden of armaments,” notonly
on Moscow and Washington, but
on "many others whose expen
ditures for arms are shockingly
high in relations to their
resources and the needs of their
populations.”
Thompson, who met Podgorny
in the latter’s Kremlin office,
also expressed concern about
“the growing disparity between
the industrialized nations and
the rest of the world.”

Planes Collide;
Crash Into
Community
LAGUNA BEACH, Calif.
(UPI) —Two Marine Corp6 A4B
Skyhawk jet bombers collided
during a heavy rain Sunday,
then crashed through a retire
ment community apartment
complex. Five persons, includ
ing one of the pilots, were killed
and three others were injured.
The two aircraft were coming
in from Floyd Bennett Field in
Brooklyn, N.Y., to land at El
Toro Marine Corps Air Station,
located just five miles from the
3,600-acre Leisure World, Lagu
na Hills.
The crippled aircraft smashed
into adjacent, eight-unit apart
ment buildings, spewing debris
and flaming fuel over a 300-foot
area. Only one wall of the two
buildings was left standing.
Authorities said many other
residents escaped death or
Injury because they were
attending noon church services.
The civilians killed were
identified as Leon Lauderbach,
76, a paraplegic; Harold Ber
man, age unknown, and his
wife, Margaret, 52, and H. H.
Kenyon, 86.
The dead pilot was Capt.
James H. Powell, Milford, N.J.,
who was attached to an East
Coast reserve squadron.
Capt. Powell successfully
ejected at about 400 feet, but
suffered fatal injuries when
heavy winds whipped his
parachute against a cemeut
wall at the retirement commu
nity.
The collision may have
occurred because one of the at
tack bombers’ radios had stop
ped working and the other air
craft was trying to lead it down
through the blinding rain.

The old building, with ghosts
of Henry Grady, Joel Chandler

hovering there, was long a
landmark but even such must
give way to modern city plan

A long red carpet on the

“Hello, John”; other signs of
welcome lined the roadway on
the trip from the airport and a
band had been hired before the

Struby Proposes
Seven - Point
Crime Fight Plan
ATLANTA (UPI) — The gen
era! manager of the Macon
Telegraph and the Macon News
today proposed a seven - point
program for crime prevention,
better law enforcement and im
proved penal methods in Geor
gia.
The program was outlined in
a speech by Bert Struby pre
pared for delivery to an Atlanta
civic club.
Struby said there was a "tre
mendous increase in public
awareness of the need to do
something about crime preven
tion and to gain a more en
lightened approach to penal re
form and rehabilitation.”
He pointed out that crime is
increasing across Georgia and
the nation and that the state’s
per capita prison population,
even though it is being reduced,
is still the second highest in the
nation with nearly 8,400 in
mates.
Struby’s seven-point program
included:
—Hiring a penal expert to
direct the State Department of
Corrections. In making this rec
ommendation, Struby said, he
was doing so without implying
any criticism of Col. R. H.
Burson, former head of the de
partment, or Asa Kelley, tha
new director.
Struby said a professional ad
ministrator “should be specially
qualified for the spot, should
be beyond the reach of poltical
maneuverings, and should be
accountable solely to a state
constitutional board of of
ficers.”
Other points were:
—Establishing a system for
the collection and evaluation of
necessary statistics relating to
delinquency and crime from
every county.
—Establishing a state level
training program for persons
working with delinquent chil
dren.
—Providing adequate proba
bation services with a reduced
caseload for probation officers.
—A study of the Manhattan
Bail Project by all courts in
metropolitan areas of the state.
The project has already been
adopted in Fulton County at a
savings of more than $40,000, he
said.
—Establishing an educational
program to emphasize the ad
vantages of properly supervised
probation. statewide
—Appointment of a
committee to coordinate plan
ning, leadership, and services
which contribute to the preven
tion, control and treatment Of
crime and delinquency.
