Churches face race trouble
DALLAS —(UPI)— Racial disagreements threatened today to bring disunity to the new United Methodist Church.
The uniting conference of the former Evangelical United Brethren (EUB) and Methodist Churches was to receive a report recommending that 1972 not be made a mandatory date for desegregation. The commission also called for increased churchwide financial aid for integrating regional conferences of the new denomination.
The formal union of the Methodist and EUB churches signalled eventual elimination of the central Negro jurisdiction of the Methodist Church with black members to be amalgamated into whatever regional conference they reside.
Most Methodist and EUB conferences across the nation will merge in the next two years, but they have up to 12 years to complete the union that was formally adopted at solemn, but joyous ceremonies Tuesday.
Watson, who has been one of Johnson's key White House aides, was confirmed on a unanimous voice vote.
O'Brien, in a farewell speech to post office employees, praised President Johnson for his "valiant decision not to run again."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UP1)—A Vietnam veteran, arrested when he tried "to go in and help" national guardsmen and police during riots in Kansas City, will appear in court today in an effort to report for a troop movement to Germany.
Kapenstein, a former Milwaukee Journal reporter, will be O'Brien's special assistant in the campaign, a Post Office Department spokesman said.
O'Brien who announced his resignation earlier this month, made a farewell speech to post office employees Tuesday.
President John F. Kennedy named Kapenstein as special assistant to then Postmaster General John Gronouski on Nov. 4, 1963.

A spokesman said the commission report showed "most of the objectives" of a resolution passed in 1966 have been attained, in the "quest of a fully inclusive church."
A department spokesman said his resignation was effective immediately.
