Luncheon at Joe Chastek's VAGABOND'S HOUSE is not only popular with scores of business and professional men, but the ladies seemed to have found Businessman chides clerics on obstacles (N. Y. Herald Tribune to Daily News) EVANSTON, Aug. Indiana businessman, Irwin Miller, declared at the World Council of Churches today that the present day church and its minis.
ters present a major obstacle to the layman's discovery of his calling in a religious context. Miller, who is chairman of the board of the Cummine Engine Co. at Columbus, and a member of the Disciples of Christ denomination, said the average American businessman is deeply disturbed in his spirit, but in seeking understanding from the church he too often finds that his own- minister has experienced no such disturbance or conflict within himself and neither understands nor is aware of the nature of the layman's need. SOMETIMES the layman feels that the minister has not discovered his own calling, Miller said at an accredited visitor session. The opinion is sometimes strengthened by the fact that ministerial conversation is often filled with theological language that can rouse little else in the layman than suspicion.
Miller said that the reason the gastric ulcer is the distinguishing badge of the U. S. businessman is because he finds the work that satisfied his forefathers futile and unsatisfying to him. East German claims blow to West spies BERLIN, Aug. Wollweber, East Germany's secret police chief, said today the Communists have recently dealt destructive blows to Western spies.

WOLLWEBER did not mention John by name but said an unspecified number of arrests had been carried out since July 20 when John defected. Western sources estimated 400 persons were arrested in East Germany. Wollweber, in a speech to East Berlin factory workers, called on East Germans to "increase their vigilance in order to halt the activity of foreign agents." He took note of the arrests that followed John's flight to the east but made no mention of the number.

The shows are fabulous, the pools a welcome relief from the desert sun and the golf course at Wilbur Clark's Desert Inn was never greener (nor, incidentally, trickier). The Desert Inn had a packed house for the opening of Hildegarde and Johnny Johnston.
Judging from the first night audience's reaction. this talented duo will continue to fill the Painted Desert Room for Wilbur Clark through Sept. 14 when Ted Lewis arrives: Hildegarde is still incomparable while Johnston's ringing baritone and tanned features had the women clamoring for more. However, Skeets Minton. billed (and accuratelv) as The Ventriloquist extraordinary, almost stole the show from his more widely known compatriots.
Other entertainers appearing at the hotels included Milton Berle. rocking the walls at the Sands: Joe E. Lewis. Herb Shriner and Connie Russell. Arthur Blake and Margaret Whiting, Kalanten, and The Vagabonds.
Incidentally, the problems confronting' Wilbur Cark in maintaining the 162-acre greensward for golfers in the sands surrounding the Desert Inn can be imag. ined. It takes 250.000 gallons of water a day during the summer months to keep the grass and 3500 trees and bushes from sue. cumbing to the ravages of the desert sun. 8 All good things must end.
