"'pre VOL 51 No. '91 Dr. Martin Niemoeller, German Lutheran (Evangelical) pastor ar-. recent visitor to Russia, will speaK in the Coliseum March 10 as a preface to Search Week, March 23-27. Niemoeller's address will be co sponsored by the Lincoln Minis terial association and Search Week committee. Invited to Russia to inspect the Russian Orthodox church, he has since been called, by . Time magazine ,one of the most controversial religious figures of the present day. Because of his defiance of Hitler and opposition to Nazifi- ' cation of the church in Ger many, Niemoeller was confined to concentration camps during World War II. When Hitler came Into power Jri 1933, Niemoeller welcomed him under the Impression that church and state would be reinstated. He saw Nazism as "an instru ment approved by God for revival of German soul and as a bar to further westward advance of a Godless communism." Niemoeller helped organize and served as president of the Pas tor's Emergency League, an or ganization designed to fight Hit ler's war against the church when it became evident that the Nazis had their own ideology. German ministers drafted "six principles" to serve as a criteria for German protestantism. The pastors viewed the ecclesiastical and political separately. They maintained the right to choose their own personnel and to conduct youth and church organ izations. The clergy asserted that any doctrines contradictory to Biblical teachings must be re jected. Hitler and Niemoeller were both anti-democratic and anti-republican in beliefs. Their difference of opinion the status of religion led to Niemoeller's arrest. The pastor was a U-boat com mander in the German navy Six M Students, One DehteTeum Rate Superior In Twelfth Annual (inference .

When he resigned his command, he worked as a farm hand to obtain his theological education at Muenster. He helped to suppress socialist and communist uprisings in Ger many during this time. Niemoeller is a nationalist and believes in an authoritarian gov ernment. He strongly opposed the wiemar republic which governed Germany following World War II. According to Dr. Karl Barth. Niemoeller offered his services to Hitler as a submarine commander in World war II but thought it over and withdrew. But Niemoel ler is quoted as saying.

Notes For the next two wmki, Tfme In The News, P.M. Head line! and Student VIew the News wlU be written by Dale Johnson.) JAWAHARLAL NEHRU, India's prime minister, emerged the victor in'the five month election that has recently been concluded. Nehru's congress party captured 341 of the 496 parliament seats. Nehru has been the leading spokesman for Asia in recent years, and now has evidence that the people of his nation have ex pressed theuv confidence -in his -leadership. . WALTER R. RAECKE, Central City democrat, has had his name filed with Secretary of State James Pittenger to be a can didate for governor of Nebraska. Raecke was asked to run at the pre-primary convention, but withdrew his name for consideration. This apparently has not stopped persistent democrats, who have continued to support him for the gubernatorial race. Party work ers have circulated petitions in some 60 counties to obtain the necessary signatures. This movement has developed into a "draft" manuever. The final development will be up to Raecke. ATTORNEY GENERAL HOWARD J. McGRATH has again become a target for criticism. McGrath has recently been attacked for lax administration of his office. This time the accuser is Harold E. Stassen, republican presidential hopeful, who has ques tioned the accumulated wealth of the attorney general. A con gressional committee has invited Stassen to present "any credit able evidence" to show that McGrath has become a millionaire during his career as an office holder. ROBER'i' KENNON, Louisiana democrat, defeated the Long political machine. Both Kennon and Carlos Spaht, Long's can didate, were bidding for the democratic nomination for governor of Louisiana. It is the first set-back to the Long machine for many years. It had previously been held that no one could cap ture the back country area of the state. Kennon is now almost assured of being elected governor, as the democratic nomination is equal to election in solidly democratic Louisiana. SECRETARY OF STATE DEAN ACHESON, in an address to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Lisbon, Portugal, warned members that: "We must take actions that will strain all of us to the utmost." This statement was made at a time when experts predicted that the 1954 goal of 100 divisions for the army will fall 12 per cent short. Acheson stressed that increased ef forts must be made if there is to be any successful completion of the work of NATO. rassed director hoarsely gives them instructions concerning the various acts. They nod their heads and appear to be soaking up all that's being said. Oh, yes! They appear to be. "O.K., now try it exactly as I told yoi'," The music starts once, twice, three times; the cast stands there with a blank look on each face. The ensuing langu age that follows will be tactfully left out of this article. Two hours later smoke Is pouring out the windows and doors and high pitched voices are heard arguing about wheth- ' er or not last year's was better J 1 i (,-, . . ... iif;,',.:i To May Nick Amos and Miml DuTeau will play leading parts In the Kosmet Klub's spring musical comedy.

The lead male role, Danny Churchill, will be played by Amos. Danny is a young playboy from the East who has been sent out West by his father to get him away from his current lady friends. Miss DuTeau is cast as Molly Grav with whom Dannv falls in love in spite of her shady reputa tion. A maior conflict arises when Danny tries to convince her that New York is the only place to live. She insists that Custerville, Ariz., is the only place. Gieber Goldfarb (Hank Gib son) is a taxi driver who drives Danny from New York to Cus terville. Gieber stumbles into politics and is elected local sher iff. He finds the job unhealthy because of two local gamblers, Kate and Slick Fothergill (Marilynn Lehr and Herb Jack- man'V. Sam Mason (Ned Concert is the third party of the triangle with Danny and Molly. Fete and laur Sanders (Manny Dworkin and Richard Marrs) are two local desperados who dislike Gieber's face. Gieber runs into further trouble than this year's. The prima bal lerina becomes indignant at the numerous criticisms about her dancing and leaves in a huff; and while the skittnaster crawls up to the hurt actress' room on her knees, a group of girls in the chorus decided to go next door for a game of bridge. By the time the skitmaster re turns to the makeshift the theater her cast has dispersed, leavftig her to pick up the cigaret butts and console the house mother.
