...Boston suburb of Newton, the Rev. Frank Weiskel of the First Congregational Church was dismissed soon after he and a visiting Negro minister sang We Shall Overcome from the pulpit. Last February, the Rev. William Youngdahl of Omaha's Augustana Lutheran Church was forced to resign his charge after congregants protested his involvement in local civil rights work. And in Evanston, Ill., the Rev. Emory G. Davis this month left his church, after being repeatedly urged by parishioners to stick to the work of the parish and leave civil rights to God. Ironically, Davis and the 400 parishioners...
Tearful on TV. What Britain's press bannered next day was a surprising Cabinet switch: Economics Minister George Brown, 51, the No. 2 man in the Labor Party, changed places with Foreign Secretary Michael Stewart, 59. Brown, a devout believer in economic expansion, had tried to resign four weeks ago when Wilson made the decision that the pound could only be saved by a drastic dose of deflation. Wilson talked him into staying on until the bill was assured of passage. Then Wilson rewarded Brown with the job he had asked for when Labor came to power two years...

Nor were they likely to persuade the ruggedly individualistic Douglas-who has served 27 years on the court-to repeat a half-serious offer to resign from the bench, tendered to President Kennedy after his second divorce in 1963. His first marriage, to Mildred Riddle, ended in 1953 after 30 years and two children; his second, to Divorcee Mercedes Hester Davidson, lasted nine years; his third, to Joan Carol Martin, 26, broke up last December after...
...House to deliver his economic message amid Tory cries of "Where is George?," the Deputy Prime Minister and Economics Minister, George Brown, was indeed absent from the Labor front bench. He was in fact back at his office trying to make up his mind whether he should resign from the Cabinet. A strong believer in economic expansion, he saw Wilson's plan as too negative. Its deflationary content clearly meant a sharp rise in unemployment. After the speech, Brown called at 10 Downing Street with his resignation. Wilson asked him to sleep on it. Brown mulled it over...
