Ever since he got back from his 25-day immersion in Russia (TIME, Aug. 26) garrulous, sandy-haired Louie D. Newton, president of the Southern Baptist Convention, had been sounding off to the press. Some of his Georgia neighbors thought he had come back sounding like a Red. To others he was just the same old Louie...
...Louie De Votie Newton, 54, president of the Southern Baptist Convention, a native, resident and leader in the South, might be expected to be somewhat anti-Soviet. But last week when he came home to Atlanta from a whirlwind trip through the U.S.S.R. he was brimming with enthusiasm for what he had seen and been told. In 25 short days, the Russians had made Dr. Louie Newton a booster...
...seemed to be in the best of form, the record doesn't register. Arrangers of all-star recording sessions encounter innumerable difficulties, especially when they use original tunes. This time the synthetically blue lyric and melody of Mr. Feather's just weren't enough of a catalyst for King Louie.

To replace 74-year-old Conference President Pat Morris Neff, ex-Governor of Texas, the Baptists chose Dr. Louie De Votie Newton, 54, since 1929 pastor of Atlanta's Druid Hills Church, biggest Baptist church in Georgia. Dr. Newton, a onetime reporter who never studied for the ministry, preaches in a journalistic style, with emphasis on current events. (Last fortnight he sailed into the resurgent Klan as it staged a tumultuous cross-burning near Atlanta...
