Orange County Pastor Barred From Air Force Mission
Rev Owen M Geer 56 pastor of First Methodist Church Fullerton says he was denied clearance to join a Protestant chaplains mission to US Air Force installations in the Far East. He claims a loyalty complaint was filed in Washington by the Associated Farmers of California 16 days before the September 27 departure, and says the mission left without clearance. He names the Associated Farmers as the complainant and says a loyalty check is still in progress. The minister reports he resigned from a Methodist Social Action group four years ago and denies Communist ties while noting approval by the Methodist Board of Governors for his leave of absence.
