Died. The Rev. Dr. Ivan Lee Holt, 81, president of the National Council of Churches from 1935 to 1936 and vice president of the World Council of Churches from 1948 to 1952, who spent his life in an attempt to join the nine U.S. Protestant denominations into a single church with 23 million members, warning that Protestantism faced "reorganization or disintegration" in the modern world, and in the process strongly influenced the Constitution on Church Union, which is dedicated to Protestant Unity; of pneumonia; in Atlanta...

Foreign Minister Ivan Bashev visited Ankara last year, recently approved an agreement with Greece to increase trade and tourism. Exulted one Bulgarian in Sofia last week: "The Balkan powder keg is a thing of the past." Nothing dies harder in the Balkans than ancient history, however, and the Bulgarians are still effusive each year in their thanks to Russia for freeing them from Turkish bondage 88 years ago. What's more, the Kremlin is pleased to see Bulgaria...
