John Freedman, United Church minister from Red Lake, Big Four (Continued from Page 1) to the westerners' stand on what they consider the main point of any conference--that to improve east- west relations the foreign minis- ters must get down to causes and see why things are tense. The Russians say they want to get down to cases instead of causes, They want to talk about Germany mostly, and specifically about the disarming of Germany and how to see that she stays disarmed. They also want to talk about reducing armaments all around. The Russians and the western powers started with two entirely=- different drafts a week ago, each containing three points. They now seem to agree on one point--except for a couple of words. The second Soviet point, as amended yesterday, now calls for discussion of "re-establishment of unity of Germany and conclusion of a peace treaty with Germany." The west's point three, un- changed from the beginning, reads: "Problems of German unity and preparations of a peace treaty for Germany." Philip C. Jessup, American am- bassador-at-large, said yesterday there is still some difference there. A British spokesman pointed out that the preparation of a treaty and its conclusion are not the same thing. But Jessup, like French dele- gate Alexandre Parodi and British Representative Ernest Davies, said he would give his final answer later. Allied Vanguards (Continued from Page 1) Maj.-Gen. Claude B. Ferenbaugh, commanding the battle-tired U.S. 7th Division. Outlook Optimistic "The outlook is optimistic, but we're keeping our guard up." Even as the Reds drew back from their front-line positions, their reinforcements were com- ing up from the rear. More than 1,500 enemy trucks were spotted Monday night moving southward from North Korean bases, That was the largest number seen in 2) months. Air observers also reported heavy Red vehicular traffic moving north from Seoul. Some sources suggest- ed this indicated the were pulling out of that rubbled South Korean Capital. The U.S. 1st Cavalry Division, on the British left flank, were report- ed only 4% miles from Hongchon, in the central sector. It was driv- ing along the road that leads north east from Yongdu. North of Hoengsong, on the Bri- tish right flank, the U.8. 1st Marine Division seized the last ridge line before Hongchon, and was within five air miles of the town. AP Correspondent Leif Erickson reported from U.S. Eighth Army headquarters that the expected Red defence of Hongchon had failed to materialize. It appeared the Reds might make a stand north of the city along the Hongchon river. Major Developments From west to east, these were the other major developments along the Korean front: Pifteeen miles east of Seoul the U.S. 25th Division consolidated its bridgehead across the Han river. The bridgehead now is nearly 11 miles deep and eight miles wide. Just east of the three-pronged drive on Hongchon, the U.S. 2nd Division Monday night sent patrols in% Yudong. The patrols pulled out after running into light machine- gun fire, The junction town of Changpyong on the east front fell to the U.S. 7th Division without a fight. South Korean troops on the Eastern Front occupied Soksa, some 25 miles from the 38th Parallel. The six-day drive that started when the Han was breached has cost the Reds more than 35,000 in killed or wounded, the Eighth Army estimated. Enemy casualties since the allies started north Jan. 25 were put at 167,817. Lt.-Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, hth Army commander, said Mon- day the proportion of Red to allied losses is better than 60 to 1. ing, yesterday for Mrs. Eva Cowan who passed away last Friday.

Bryan brought order in his court yesterday with a blazing revolver. Involved in the wild-west melo- drama were Judge Bryan, farmer Gerhard Svensen and Svensen's wife. The judge explained that Sven- sen, a 220-pounder, entered his court and started berating him be- catise of a six-months-old assault- and-battery charge against him. Svensen was free on a peace bond. While the tirade was going on, Mrs. Svensen entered and tried to bring peace. Then Svensen began to beat his wife. Judge Bryan tried the peacemaker's role and the irate farmer turned on him. So the judge picked up a .38- calibre revolver, shot a hole through the toe of the farmer's shoe (which missed the foot) and then -- while the farmer hopped around on one foot--fired three more shots in the air to call police. > Kingston Mayor's Salary Increased Kingston, March 13 (CP). --Oity council last night increased the annual allowance of Mayor C.

Ross, who not only registered the lone opposition vote but also challenged the validity of the motion before council, United Church Evangelism Has New Trend Toronto -- (CP)--The new evan- gelism program of the United Church stresses individual work rather than mass conversions, which many ministers refer to as "the old time religion." The recent appointment of Rev. W.,G. Berry as Associate Secretary of Evangelism and Social Service has given new impetus to the pro- gram, although home visitation and preaching missions are not new. Mr. Berry was formerly Western Cana- da Secretary of the church and has held many preaching missions around Winnipeg. "We are ready to support mass evangelism where the evangelist is in general agreement on principle with the United Church," he said, "but feel our genius is more in vis- itation and personal evangelism, "Laymen actually do a better job of approaching people than minis ters. Some laymen reach people who can't be reached by ministers." He thought the reason for this is that people expect a minister to talk about religion, and are sur- prised when a layman discusses the subject. The church reported 31,000 con- verts last year but the figure was termed disappointing by Rev. Dr. W. J. Mumford of Hamilton. He sald "we ought to stand in shame because it isn't three times as high." Dr. Mumford's remedy for the situation was more preaching mis- sions and more schools of evangel- ism. Seven schools of evangelism were conducted in the Maritime provinces last year by Rev. C. Gard ner Ward of Verdun, Que, and were extremely successful. These schools consist of intensive instruc- tion to ministess and laygut how to get converts, and the church plans expansion of this type of work.

Now, whether or not the situse tion rests on our consciences, it points a gun at our way of life. A few years ago governments of countries which called theme selves "have-not" nations threate ened us with aggressive imperiale ism which could be and were fought. In the present and com- ing years the 'threat will come from the "have-not" peoples theme selves, seeking a better share of the warld's goods. And there are new imperialisms to give them leadere ° ship and take advantage of their unrest. Western peoples, too, are making in assisting in such things as the Colombo plan to raise the way-of- living of Southeast Asia; or in making contributions of one kind or another to various backward areas.
