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

DR. NIEMOELLER
during World war I. He was
known as the "scourge of
Malta" because of his submarine
activities.
During his command, Nie
moeller decided to become a
minister. 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.
"I am no longer an officer, and
I feel that I can never again be
a soldier in any cause other than

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.

Nick Amos and Miml DuTeau
will play leading parts In the
Kosmet Klub's spring musical
comedy. "Girl Crazy," Jerry John
son, production chairman of the
show, announced Friday.
Other members of the cast for
the Gershwin play are Hank Gib
son, Marilynn Lehr, Herb Jack-
man, Ned Conger.Manny Dworkm,
Richard Marrs, Betty Lester,
Nancy Dark, Mary Kay Tolliver
Downing and Marvin Stromer.
Johnson also announced the
names of chorus members.
The show, to be presented
April 23, 24 and 25 at the Ne
braska theater, is a two-act
comedy by Guy Bolton and John
McGowan based on George and
Ira Gershwin's musicale.
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.
The next practice starts and
ends the same way. The blank
looks are still very apparent. Fl

(Mary K.ay Tolliver Downing),
and Jake Howell (Marvin Stro
mer). Understudies for the major
roles 'are Gerald Lawson, Slick;
Manny Dworkin, Danny; and
Kathleen Agnew, Molly.
Although the plot of "Girl
Crazy" has been acclaimed as
outstanding, it is overshadowed
by Gershwin's music. Some of
the popular hits from the show
are "I Got Rythym," "Bidin My
Time," Embraceable You," "But
Not For Me" and "Sam and
Delilah."
The chorus includes:

America's foremost authorities on
cancer cell growth as well as nor

lectures at the University Monday

He will speak on "certain

Dr. Earle will give two lectures
at the College of Medicine in
