Faith group shifts toward politics in federation clash
Critics at the conference warned that federation statements may reflect church opinion. The Rev. Dr. Paul Ervin of Charlotte charged the federation opposed the Marshall Plan, backed Communist China, and solicited funds for defense of 11 convicted leaders. The Rev. Jack McMichael said the federation urged recognition of Red China and its UN admission. He noted no funds arrived for legal defense and the federation would accept donations.
