Under the general name "United Church of Christ," each member church would have complete local autonomy to conduct its own affairs, decide on its form of worship and method of administering the sacraments. If a local church owns property, it may retain it. If held in trust, the property could be transferred to the United Church of Christ...
...fluoroscopic method of diagnos ing uterine tumors has been developed by Gynecologist Ralph R. Stevenson of Washington, D.C. First, he injects a harmless dye into the patient's uterus. As he manipulates the uterus, a "watching" X-ray tube projects a picture of the organ onto a fluoroscope screen, and tumors show up as shadows. A movie camera records the picture for future reference. Main potential benefit: fewer hysterectomies done on suspicion, but no sure proof, of uterine abnormality...

...last week, carried there by a Texas wildcatter named Samuel Labon Shepherd. Eight months ago Oilman Shepherd was checking land in Nowata County in northeastern Oklahoma with a scintillator, an electric gadget used to find oil as well as uranium. Around him were wells producing oil by the waterflood method, in which oil is recovered by pumping water into the ground, thus increasing the underground pressure and forcing oil up the well. On the surface, the oil and water are separated, and the water is passed through a sand filter before being recirculated through the well...
Patent Pending. At week's end, nobody knew how much uranium was in Nowata County-or whether Sam Shepherd might have discovered a practical method of mining uranium by waterflood and filter. Others have tried such a process before-and failed. But it has never been tried as a byproduct of another operation, such as oil producing, that already pays the basic costs. In any case, Shepherd has applied for a patent on his method and is getting ready to ship about ten tons of filter sand from his holdings to AEC for processing...
