U) Southern Baptists will take another close look this week at a continuing crisis, mostly financial, at Baptist-supported institutions of higher education. The occasion will be the second national conference of the Baptist Education Study Task, a two-year in-depth study of problems facing church schools. MORE than 300 top Baptist leaders are expected for the conference. The most controversial issue on the agenda is the question of federal aid to Baptist colleges. ine federal aid issue, intertwined with that of separation of church and state, is listed by some a as the main cause of a financial crisis.

They point out that church schools are unable to keep pace with institu tions which accept federal grants in expansion and i ovement of college programs. In some cases, officials fear loss of ac creditation. THE ISSUE affects schools, mostly Baptist the Southeast and South west, with an overall en rollment of approximately 100,000 students. The larg est institution involved is Baylor University with an enrollment of 8,500. Policy on accepting federal loans or grants is set by each of the state conventions.

Most schools do not accept grants, but some take federal loans. Almost the entire Tuesday night session will be devoted to the issue, with the men who are generally considered the leading proponent and opponents of federal assistance scheduled to speak. THE SPEAKERS include Dr. Abner V. McCall, president of Baylor University at Waco, who favors federal aid; Dr.

E. S. James, retired editor of the Baptist Standard in Dallas and an outspoken critic of federal aid; and Dr. C. Emanual Carlson of Washington, director of the Baptist Joint Committee on Public Affairs, a moderate on the issue.

Rabun L. Brantley of Nashville, executive secretary of the Southern Baptist Education Commission, points out, however, that the federal aid issue is only one of many problems to be considered this week. Other areas to be studied include college-denominational relationships, Baptist higher education philosophy, academic and religious scope of Baptist schools, the role of the Christian college teacher, and academic freedom and responsibility. BRANTLEY said the conference will suggest solutions, but take no action on the problems. The conclusions will then be put in book form by an 18-member findings committee, which is to finish its report in September.

The recommendations will not be binding on any of the institutions, he said. FOOT-SORE? Save steps by shopping today's Classified Ads for better car buys! God ffl By ROWLAND EVANS and ROBERT NOVAK WASHINGTON Worrisome evidence is building up that the Soviet Union has decided to escalate the Vietnam war by introducing i m-range missiles, possibly triggering a Vietnamese missile crisis. Officials at the highest level in the United Nations are going out of their way to warn the United States informally of Soviet intentions. These officials obviously talking from knowledge say North Vietnamese technicians are now being trained in Russia to handle and fire the ium-range ground-to-ground ballistic missile. FURTHERMORE, U.S.

intelligence, using highly sensitive airborne cameras, is all but convinced that recent Soviet cargoes into North Vietnam contained the missile. Expert photo-analysts make this judgment by scrutinizing blowups of the configuration of the visible part of the cargo just as they accurately identified missiles on Soviet vessels during the Cuban missile crisis of 1962. What is reboding, however, is not just the presence of missiles in North Vietnam with a range estimated at upwards of 450 miles. The more significant element in the equation, as viewed by these U.N. officials, is the Soviet determination to match U.S.

escalation with escalation of their own in the form of ever more lethal weapons. AS ONE high U.N. official recently put it to a U.S. senator: "Be assured, dear sir, that every time there is an escalation on your side it will be matched by an escalation on theirs." When fully operable, the i iate missiles could be fired from north of the 17th parallel, the North-South Vietnam border, into Saigon itself. No one, however, knows when that time will come.

It depends on whether the Soviet Union would permit Russians to handle the monstrous weapons or insist on waiting until the North Vietnamese become trained for the work themselves. THE unexpectedly strong stand against Israel by Poland's Communist regime is stirring deep resentment in Poland even among Communist party members. The Arab-Israeli war has become a divisive issue all over the Communist world, but nowhere more so than in Poland. That's partly because the matter of anti-Semitism is extremely sensitive in the Polish Com-m i party anyway. Many party leaders are of Jewish background or have Jewish wives.

On the other hand, a powerful hardline faction of the Polish party (called the has strong anti-Semitic overtones. This inherent split was exacerbated last week by Warsaw's militant pro- Arab stand. For instance, the government officially announced it "will do ev- ervthine in its power to contribute to putting a stop to aggression against the UAR and the other Arab states." Its controlled press incorrectly reported that the U.N. Security Council has called on Israeli troops to withdraw. ACCORDING to reliable intelligence sources, all this has caused private but bitter criticism inside the party and particularly among Communist intellectuals.

Singled out for criticism has been Edward Ochab, the Polish chief of state. His critics maintain that Ochab, who has strong ties to Israel and whose sister-in-law is an Israeli citizen, should have op-posed the high-pressure campaign against Israel. jHptnnria' By RELMAN MORIN BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Some things are hard to believe even when you see them in operation. Birmingham, Alabama, is the case in point.

The city has made such startling progress in the field of race relations that it is scarcely recognizable today. Quietly, solutions to many problems have been found, answers that would have been considered impossible, even unthinkable, only a few years ago. IN THE HOT summer of 1963, thousands of Negroes came boiling out of Kelly Ingram Park in downtown Birmingham, and began a series of large-scale demonstrations in the streets. Photographs flashed around the world, showing water from fire hoses in them to the ground and leashed police dogs lunging at them. More than 3,000 were jailed.

Communication between the leadership of the races broke down completely. Overnight, "Birmingham" became a national, even a global, synonym for racial hatred and terror. Tight Segregation At that time, hotels and public facilities were tightly segregated. A Negro couldn't eat a sandwich at a department store lunch counter. TODAY, a civic booster's group meets at breakfast in a major downtown hotel.

Negro couples sit at tables with white members of the organization. Negroes attend the annual Man-of-the-Year dinner of the Young Mens Business Club of Birmingham. The police department employs nine Negroes. It says it has room for more. At one time, the Negro could take no pride in Birmingham.

He wasn't consulted about the problems or the shape of things to come. TODAY, 9 are members of the Chamber of Commerce. They have been brought into the housing, planning and library com-miss ions. They attended meetings of the city coun-c 1 1 And, says Mayor Albert Boutwell, "they exercise their rights of citizenship without fear or restraint." Influential Negroes smile and say to a visitor, "if that makes me an 'Uncle okay." Races Talking Perhaps the most significant fact is that communication has been res tored between the white and Negro communities. They are talking out their differences now, whereas in 1963, the Negro had no channel through which he could voice his grievances.

If he tried, the answer was apt to be mass arrests. This is not to say that a magic wand has been waved over Birmingham, causing all its problems to vanish overnight. A HARD core of segregationist sentiment remains, the city's leaders say. But how great is the influence of this group? Leaders in both races say it has been greatly reduced. Likewise, some Negroes are anything but satisfied with what has been accomplished.

They concede that progress has been made since the dark days, but they say it isn't enough. To explain how and why the changes come about, you go back to 1963-64. "We had a regressive-minded group in the city rnment," says Don Stafford, head of the AFL-CIO in Birmingham. "They wanted to maintain the status quo. White leaders wouldn't speak up." THEN CAME the street demonstrations, the bombings and killings, the uproars when two schools were desegregated in 1964.

Birmingham had a savage, ugly image. Answers Sought Motivated by practical as well as moral considerations, influential men and women in the city determined that accommodations must be found to the racial and civic problems. it of Earth Proves No Obstacle CAPE KENNEDY Air Force scientists have provea that satellites on opposite sides of the earth can "talk" to each other unaided by relay stations. Two OV-4 satellites for the "whispering gallery" experiment were aboard Titan III-C launched from here Nov. 3.

ONE OF the satellites was a transmitter and the other a receiver. Signals were transmitted at altitudes ranging from 138 to 174 miles and the receiver then relayed the data from its twin satellite to six ground tracking stations via a telemetry system. The theory behind the experiment maintains that the earth's ionosphere is like a "whispering gal lery" in which sound waves travel along a curved area with low loss of volume. ON EARTH, the pheno menon is experienced in large domed structures such as the nation's Capitol building in Washington, D. where soft sounds can be heard across the room The theory was first proved by Dr.

Marion Gros- si of Raytheon Co. in 1962, using a mathematical model of the ionosphere on a digital computer.

Dodd goes on trial Tuesday before a jury of his colleagues facing censure on charges that his conduct "tends to bring the Senate into dishonor and disrepute." If convicted, the 60-year-old Democrat from Connecticut would become the sixth senator censured in the history of the United States.

THE LAST one so pun ished was the late Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, who was condemned" in 1954. At 10 a.m. EDT Tuesday, the censure resolution will be called up for debate, bringing all other Senate activities to a halt.

JAiUt SINCE 1932 1 1 1 One of the motivating factors was just plain business. Birmingham, like many Southern cities, has been reaching out aggressively to attract business from other parts of the country. Racial disturbances sharply inhibited the effort. Arthur Shores, a widely respected Negro attorney said, "Business just wasn't coming to Birmingham." THE DEGREE of success in changing all that is illustrated by a statistic. The mayor says, "There are more than 20,000 wage earners today who were unemployed in May, 19G3." He estimates Negroes are filling about half these new jobs.

In the great steel mills, says Don Stafford himself a steel worker in addition to his union duties Negroes now occupy positions requiring skills, whereas before they could rise no higher than helper to the white man holding such a job. The political picture has changed miraculously, too. VOTER registration has enrolled 72,000 Negroes, more than one-fourth of the total vote in Jefferson County, which embraces Birmingham. A Negro businessman said, "White politicians now ask to address our meetings in churches and so on when they are campaigning for office." Arthur Shores is one of 16 Negroes elected to the County Democratic Executive Committee. He said they have been placed in "strategic positions." The committee has 118 members.

Vole Instrumental A Birmingham professional man says the Negro vote was "instrumental" in changing the form of city government. He described the old one, a three-man commission, as "deaf to the needs and pleas of business, industry and racial minorities alike." THE PRESENT government is composed of Mayor Boutwell and a nine-member city council. The 1 Imen are selected at-large, rather than from individual wards or districts, and, therefore, probably will be some time before a Negro is elected to it. Nonetheless, it is obvious that in a close election race, the Negro vote might well be the determining factor, the balance of power. This has happened in other southern cities and, where the Negro uses his vote, he can affect politicians and their policies.

UNDER court order, and against great resentment, the desegregation of Birmingham schools began in the autumn of 1964. One was Ramsay High School. The star of its basketball team this year was Curtis Gary Jackson, a Negro. As for the statistics, 246 Negroes now a ttend form erly all-white high schools and 115 are in formerly egregated elementary schools. Seven the nine high schools which were all-white, and 13 of 15 formely all-white elementary schools, are now desegregated.

Sew Spirit ONE OF the most striking reflections of the new spirit in Birmingham can be seen in the law enforcement agencies. For de-cdes, and often with good reason, the Negro has feared and mistrusted the policeman or sheriff. It will take a long time to change this, but the point is that for the first time the white community is trying. Rev. Lowrey called all this "good, long-range planning." But he believes desegregation of the district attorney's office, the election of Negro judges and the employment of Negro bailiffs in the courts would carry more conviction in the Negro community.

IN THIS connection, Negro leaders assert that 10 Negroes, and no whites, have been killed by officers in the past 14 months. They argue that such cases should automatically go to the grand jury for investigation. This is one of their principal grievances today. Some, but not all, Negro leaders also claim that the new climate in Birmingham has not erased discrimination against hiring Negroes in business and industry. "The head of the firm," says Dr.

Nixon, "may be sincerely interested in improving conditions. But the chances are that his personnel people, who do the actual hiring, are segregationists." Still, you find Negroes in positions today where they never were before, in the transit companies, in banks and offices. ALONG with these sweeping social and political changes, Birmingham is in a ferment of activity focussing on civic and cul-t a 1 development. The program entails an outlay of $300 million. A statistic shows what has been happening.

Average family income is $7,200 a year, up 88 per cent since 1950. Other economic bar-o are equally impressive.
