More than a year after the signing of the Paris peace accords, American journalists and officials in Saigon have yet to cement a lasting truce among themselves. The current antagonists: New York Times Correspondent David Shipler, 31, one of the most enterprising of the 30 U.S. correspondents remaining in Saigon, and Ambassador Graham A. Martin, 61, a career diplomat who helped negotiate the agreement with Hanoi. As in similar Saigon disputes dating back a dozen years, this one centers on charges that press coverage has given comfort, if not aid to the enemy...
Died. The Rev. Guy Emery Shipler, 86, controversial Episcopal clergyman, editor since 1922 of The Churchman, an influential monthly unofficially allied with the Episcopal Church; of a stroke; in Arcadia, Calif. A rebel from his student days at New York's General Theological Seminary, Shipler spent a lifetime being for or against virtually every cause that crossed his ken; he supported voluntary euthanasia and liberal divorce laws, feuded with the Roman Catholic Church by stating that Yugoslavia's Archbishop Aloysius Stepinac was a "quisling collaborator of Hitler."

One is made increasingly aware that the Roman Catholic hierarchy is trying desperately, and with some success, to sell America on the idea that we must choose between Rome and Moscow; that to defeat Communism, we must strengthen the power of Catholicism . . . America need not go either to Rome or Moscow for leadership. We need a new appreciation for the ideals of true democracy which our founding...
...have been wondering if the Rev. Dr. Guy Shipler intends to honor Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam for his militant efforts to prevent Roman Catholic children from using public school buses? . . . The men who set out to destroy Roman Catholicism, in effect, destroy Christianity as well, because when the united Church of Rome falls there will be no hope for any other Christian church, especially Protestantism ... In this I speak as a Protestant and not as a Roman Catholic...
