Religion & Racism Sir' In alleging that Arkansas' Presbyterian ministers advocate the practice of brother hood as a consequence of having been "brain washed by left-wingers and Communists" [TIME, Sept. 29], Governor Faubus pays the Communists an unnecessary and unmerited compliment.

Designating Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, onetime (1953-57) U.S. Ambassador to Italy Clare Boothe Luce and AEC Chairman John A. McCone to represent the U.S. at the funeral services in St. Peter's, Presbyterian Eisenhower accepted an invitation to attend a Requiem Mass for the Pontiff this week at St. Matthew's Cathedral in Washington...

Elliott of the Highland Park Presbyterian Church of Dallas, who has frequently denounced segregation as morally indefensible, and Episcopal Minister Duncan Gray Jr. of St. Peter's Church at Oxford, Miss., who has spoken sturdily for racial tolerance, stand out as exceptions to the rule.
