Presbyterian Row
Over Pearl Buck
Foreseen by Pastor
New York Minister Pre-.
diets ''Storm of No

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 22.-Prediction
that "a storm of no small magnitude"
will disturb the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church at Coli mbus,
Ohio, because of the resignation Of Mrs.
Pearl S. Buck as a missionary was made
in a sermon yesterday by the Rev. j.
v. Moldenhawer
Criticism of the acceptance Of the
resignation by the Presbyterian Board
of Foreign Missions also was expressed
in sermon delivered by the Rev. Ed
mund Melville Wylie.
Mrs. Buck resigned after her ortho-
doxy had been questioned before the
board.
"It was bad enough" said Wylie,
chat our author missionary from
China, Mrs. Buck, should be attacked,
but that our church should permit her
to resign Is unthinkable. For the at
tack was on grounds utterly antiProt-
estant and contrary to the very genius
of Presbyterianism.
"Was there the slightest doubt about
the Christian life of this missionary?
Had she ever shown any lack Of love
! for the Master, or the Chinese to whom
| she ministered? On the contrary, her
life was and is Christ-like."

mission, which has been slated to be-

brought by the various broadcasting

Final Form Drafted.
On the decks of the Sequoia, the
President and Douglas drafted the final
form of the reorganization program,
which, it is understood, they regard as
the final major step contemplated to-
ward meeting the Democratic party S
platform pledge of chopping 25 per
cent from Government expenditures,
and bringing the budget scales into
balance.
Three major steps already have been
taken In the direction Of producing re-
ductions and balancing the budget.
Grants to war veterans were cut $400,-
600 900 by executive order, and Douglas
has estimated an additional $50, ZOO, 900
would be saved by using interest pay
