Unlike most parades theri were no gaps or tinng waits for m.irching units to come into view.

The "stability" of church memljership *n the United States ie beiing studied by e section of the Oberhn con¬ ference on church unity, A section report 8«id that in a typical U. S, congregation, from 30 to ."50% of the mem¬ bers may be "transfers" from some other denomination. Dr. Rosewell P, Barnes, as¬ sociate general secretary of the national Council of Churches and a conference section leader, said one fifth of America's families change residences each year. When a church-going family settles in a new neighborhood, he said, "many considerations be.sides previous denominational loyal¬ ties enter into a choice of a new local church affiliation." Cities Shifting He said a family may choose a church on the basis of "convenience of access, social congenially of the con¬ gregation, the quality of the religious education program, the youth program, or the popularity of the minister." Thie constant ehifting around of Bapti.'rts, Method¬ ists, Lutherans, Episcopalians, and other Protestants "tends to de-emphasize denomina¬ tional differences and smooth the path toward Christian unity," Bamee said. Another oonference section reported In a preliminary re¬ port that many suburban churches are in danger of be¬ coming "exclusive clubs" In which membership is effec¬ tively restricted to white fam¬ ilies of middle class economic brackets. Churches Must Conform It said churches have tend¬ ed to accept and conform to the "racial and economic stratification" of American neighh)orhoods, rather than bear witness in their own life to the "universality" of Chris¬ tian brotherhood. The spirit erf candid self criticism by the churches was a marked feature of the Ober- lin conference, Dr, Joseph Sittler, professor of theology at the University of Chicago and chairman of World Council of Churches commission on worship, said the Sunday worship service in "thousands of American churches" has been "de¬ graded" into a kind of "brain¬ washing" operation. The Sunday Independent re^ ceived a bomb scare this ;Atty. Gen morning at 12:0,') Ihrough an 'ruling on anonymous phone call from an elderly man. Answering the phone call, reporter John Dugan was told, "There's a bomb placed in your building.

They said they went out looking for the first Negro they could find after a Kian meeting.

Cyclops Arrested Three klansmen in alt were held, including the e.xalled Cyclops of a local "Kalvern." one of the many loosely or¬ ganized Klan chapters that have sprung up in the South since school integration began. The Cyclops, Joe P. Pritch- ett, 31, according to the state¬ ments of the other two, wore a robe with gaudy red trim at the lime Aaron was seized and mutilated.

Miller and Griffin, accord¬ ing to officers, said they, Pritchett and three other Klansmen went out Labor Day night looking for "some damn Negro to Kare hell out of.' Zion City, a ramshackle Negro neighborhood, seemed a likely place, they said, and there they found Aaron talk¬ ing to a woman outside her house.
