Baptists take stand
on social issues
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (UPl)—The
“quiet” 114th annual meeting of
the Southern Baptist Convention
took up a record number of so
cial issues on which the con
servative denomination previ
ously had taken no stand.
The Rev. Dr. Carl E. Bates,
convention president, had pre
dicted a much less controversi
al session than the 1970 Denver
meeting, which erupted into hot
debates over a biblical com
mentary.
During one discussion at the
three-day meeting which con
cluded Thursday, Bates urged
delegates to “find away to con
duct business tliat will not lim
it our messengers (delegates)”
but at the same time will not
“allow the secular press to dis
tort our image to the world.”
Tlie convention, with 11.6 mil
lion members, is the largest
Protestant denomination in the
nation.
Delegates approved resolu
tions on abortion, prison re
form, judicial reform, anti-sem
itism, the Vietnam Wai - , aid to
private education and alcoholic
beverages, among others.
Tlie convention went on rec
ord as favoring abortion in cer
tain cases, including where
there is “a likelilxiod of dam
age to the emotional, mental
and physical health of the
mother.”
Tlie prison reform resolution
pointed to “destructive condi
tions” and inadequate personnel
in American prisons. Another
resolution assailed injustices

surrounding long trial delays.
Anti-semitism was disavowed as
“un-Christian.”
In one of the liveliest sessions
of the meeting, the convention
Thursday voted to commend
President Nixon “for his part
in reducing the number of
troops in Vietnam” and urged
him “to continue our American
withdrawal in keeping with our
desperate concern for prisoners
of war.”
Many delegates expressed
shock at a phrase which sug
gested commendation of Nixon,
“given the moral ambiguities of
the Vietnam War.”
“When a man lays down his
life for another man’s free
dom,” said Delegate William J.
Brock of Bradenton, Fla., “it is
notmorally ambiguous.”

Teachers push pay hikes
ATLANTA (UPl)—The Geor
gia Association of Educators
says it plans to keep pressing
for a teachers pay increase at
this fall’s special session of the
General Assembly.
Dr. Carl V. Hodges, execu
tive secretary of the GAE, said
Thursday “there has been no
discussion” of any change in
tlie group’s position to press
Gov. Jimmy Carter to lay the
pay hike before the legislators.
“This is the way we stand to
day,” Hodges said.
At the same time, he said,
the GAE had been bolstered by
“many” commitments from

lawmakers around the state to
work for the teachers’ raise as
well as other educational bene
fits this fall.
Hodges’ remarks were in re
buttal to E. C. Mitchum, Jr.,
director of the GAE’s legislative
division, who was quoted last
week as saying there was “not
much hope” of the pay increase
because of the state’s poor eco
nomic position.
Mitchum, in turn, was sup
ported by State Revenue Direc
tor John Blackmon earlier this
week when he said the rate of
incoming revenues to the state
didn’t offer much hope of any
salary increases.
Hodges said Mitchum felt he
was quoted out of context, and
added he thought Carter wa»
waiting until after the end of
the fiscal year before announc
ing the agenda for the special
session.
The GAE leader said several
members of the GAE legislative
committee has received com
mitments from legislators to
work for increased financial
support for education. Hodge%
admitted, however, that not all
the lawmakers specified a
teacher pay increase.
