Detroit's Arthur Wakefield Issues lume Urging Unity of Religion, to 'Selfishness of Politicians' He is the author of "Objective Truth Condemns All Politics !" which has been printed here in a large format, which he supple- ments with new ideas from time to time ztml which. he maintains, unifies "answers that make mani- fest reality of all biblical • prom- ises." His hook is accompanied by a proxy "giving mandate for legis- lative action to Objective Truth ' Enterprises," as he calls his pub- lishing effort. The proxy calls for an end to labor strikes and to threats from automation an end to embezzlement and stock market "chacenery." and an end to de- visive religious hatred. One of the chapters in his book is autobiographical. En- titled "Author's Grueling Life- time Search for Objective Truth Answers," it traces his Jewish studies. his family background, the ideas he has developed, and is critical of some of the cur- rent religious approaches. In a chapter entitled "The Af- flictions in the World of Re- ligion." he analyzes the various faiths. l ie advocated that Jews should study the New Testament. At the same time. he condemns the deicide charge against Jews and welcomes the. new ecumenical trends to correct the NN rungs of 2,000 years duration. 1Vakefield's book also discusseS the civil rights movement. Here, too. he is critical of those who Threaten to "take over power from the whites." In the course of these analyses, Wakefield reviews many of the happenings in the battle for civil right,: and he disapproves of boy- cotts that have been initiated. Ile favors a united religious leader- ship that "can fulfill the goals of all humanity." He appeals :to civil rights leaders to "ennobel their cause by unself- ishly working for the progress of all alike." 'I'Ve must shut the mouths of the glib-tongued politicians for- ever who seek to promote their personal fortunes through noble catch-phrases.
