Baptist Mission Has Birthday
’B' The Branch Sunday School, a
mission of Dunn’s First Baptist l
Church, celebrated its first an
niversary Sunday and ended a year
that exceeded all expectations.
There was no formal ceremony
marking the event, but leaders and
members of the'mission alike look
ed back on a busy year during
which it has shown remarkable
growth and progress. '•
Chief credit for the mission,
which has reached a group of |
# people npt previously reached by
any other church, goes to W. E.
(Bill) Cobb and L. L. (Leek) Coats,
two prominent Dunn businessman
who founded the mission and have
nursed it through its first year of
infancy.
Mr. Cobb, local agent for the
Durham and Southern Railroad,
and Mr. Coats, local dis
tributor arid" a member Os Dunn's
eitjr council, conceived the idea tor
the mission *bour"a year antF a
half ago when a religious census
showed a large number of people
in the area not attending any |
church.

Both are leaders in the First '
Baptist Church and they sold the
idea of sponsorship to other mem
bers. The church designated Mr.
Cobb and Mr. Coats as associate
superintendents, and later they, en

Committee Approves Tax Bill
Leaders Confer
With President
On Yalta Pact
WASHINGTON (IP) Pre
sident Eisenhower and his
congressional leaders today
made “some progress” on a
resolution encouraging peo
ple fighting for freedom in
Soviet satellite countries or
elsewhere.
Senate majority leader Robert
A. Taft, leaving the weekly White
House legislative conference, said
the resolution wfll repudiate parts
of the Yalta and other interna
tional agreements which “might be
construed to limit the freedom of
people for self-determination.”
However, Taft said, the Yalta
agreement Is not the principal tar
get.
“The idea is not a repudiation
of any particular agreement, but
rather of any construction that
would lead to acquiescence on our
part of suppression of freedom in
satellite countries or - elsewhere,’’
Taft said.
He said the language of the res
olution was one of the major sub
jects taken up at the White House
session. f
I “It was discussed at some lenga
and we made some progress,” Taft
said.
NO DATE SET
No date was agreed on for intro
duction of the resolution. There is
no thought that such a world-wide
declaration by this government can

request and voted 21 to 4 to- j
day to cut individual in

The cut, if it becomes law, would i

Legislation providing for the tax

not be wise to reduce our revenue*.^
In line with that, Speaker Joseph'
