Presbyterian Reunion
Weighed al Montreal
Assembly Ready to Select
1914 Meeting Place
BY the Associated Press.

MONTREAL. N. c., May 90
Selection of meeting place for next
year, submission of additional COM
mittee reports and consideration of
reports already made occupied the
83d General Assembly of the Presby-
terian Church in the United States
in its third session today.
Scheduled for discussion were the
reports on the tercentenary celebra-
ton of the Westminster Assembly
and on classification of pro- -theo-
illogical candidates in the selective
service system.
A prime issue before the as
sembly, proposal for eventual
reunion of the Northern and South
ern branches of the Presbyterian
Church, drew increased interest with
receipt CT word that the Northern
General Assembly. meeting in De-
troit, yesterday had approved the
plan as worthy of study of all
ministers
However, the Southern branch was
not expected to take early action
since the joint committee which
wrote the report said it assumed
the taking of vote will not be
thought of until the war is happily
ended"
One overture before the assembly
proposes the opening of negotiations
for the union of the Southern Pres
byterlans and the Associate Re-
formed Presbyterian Church, but the
Rev. D. T. Lauderdale of Lexington
Va. A. R. P. moderator, failed to
broach the subject in bringing greet
lngs from his denomination.
The Rev. j. Hunter Miller. asso-
ciate secretary of the Federal Council
OF Churches of Christ in America
urged the cooperation of all Prot
estant churches in protesting what
he termed the action of the Catholic
hierarchy of South America against
Protestant work in that continent
An overture asking the withdrawal
OF the assembly from the Federal
Council is being considered in com
mittee.

Food Experts Predict
Long Wait for World
To Become Well Fed
Conferees at PurIey
Foresee Shortages
For Postwar Period
BY the Associat ted Press.


HOT SPRINGS, Va, May %
Mankind may have to wait a long,
long time for achievement of the
well-fed world toward which the
United Nations Food Conference
here has been pointing. Spokesman
for various delegations have stressed
this point in the last few days,
warning people to expect a long
period of shortages after the war.
But one definite result of the con-
ference seems assured: The adoption
Of an international yardstick by
which governments can gauge the
standards of nutrition and the re-
quirements Of a really healthy diet
in postwar days.
This international yardstick of
diet will not look like a menu.
Asked about it in press confer
ence yesterday, Surg Gen. Thomas
Parran of the United States delega-
ton explained:
1T will be in terms of the total
amount of calories, proteins, fats,
carbohydrates, iron, calcium and
vitamins A, B, c, D, plus some addi-
tlonal elements in the vitamin B
complex that is. thiamine nicotine
acid and riboflavin"
That may not mean much to a
housewife entangled in point ration
ing or wondering what to cook in
place of potatoes, but it will enable
nutrition specialists in any country
to determine what combination of
foods available In that country
measure up to the yardstick.
In some areas the yardstick might
indicate that few people are getting
enough Of any kind of food. In
others 1t might show a diet suf1-
cient in quantity, but containing so
large a percentage of "overrefned'
foods as to make it actually deficient.
Meanwhile. a move to link the
farmers of the world by means of
an international organization of
producer marketing co-operatives
was advanced by delegates of more
than 80 countries attending the
conference.
Advocates of the cooperative
movement-a system of business en-
terprises owned and operated by the
people they serve-agreed at a spe-
cial meeting to ask the parley to
formally recommend, in its final
resolutions, that an international
agency be set up to help farmers
organize.
Co-operatives Young Here.
Such an agency would be con-
nected with the international agri-
cultural authority which has been
proposed at the conference as the
mechanism for increasing world
production, distribution and con-
sumption of agricultural products
Murray D. Lincoln of the United
States delegation and chairman OF
the special meeting, predicted the

tives In my country will trade di-
rectly with co-operatives in your
country to make more goods avail
able to more people with less
profits" Mr.. Lincoln is president
OF the Cooperative League of
America.
Mr.. Lincoln said he wanted it un-
derstood that I'm still for private
enterprise, because we who believe
in cooperating want competition,
but we don't want monopolies.
The cooperative movement here
Is young compared with some other
countries, particularly Scandinavia,
Mr.. Lincoln declared, but I'VE in
the United States are beginning to
join In this great movement to bring
economic democracy to the people. -

AN ADVANCE BASE IN THE
SOUTH PACIFIC, Feb. 1O.-Maj.
Gen. Alexander M. Patch, COM
mander OF American troops on
Guadalcanal Island in the Sol
onions, reported officially today
that "Guadalcanal has been
taken completely and there is no
longer any vestige of any Jap
anese organized forces on that
island"
Gen. Patch's advice was con-
tanned in a message to Admiral
William F. Halsey, jr.. commander
Of United States naval forces in
the South Pacific.
Capt. Myles Browning, Admiral
Halsey's chief of staff, announced
the last enemy resistance was over
come at 4:25 pm. (Guadalcanal

The Japanese previously had
evacuated an unknown number of
high-ranking Officers by destroyers
and submarines, but there was no
indication of a mass removal of
troops.
Described As blot Out"
1T was not definite surrender"
Capt. Browning said. "Our thanking
force closed the pincers on the
enemy and a blot-out took place.
There was no more space for the
Japs to occupy"
There was no report here yet Of
the number of Japanese killed or
captured or whether the survivors,
trapped in the blot out" near Cape
Esperance, had surrendered.
Considerable booty was said to
have been taken, including much in
the way of medical stores, but in
this regard, too, there were no de-
tails.
There is reason to believe the
Japs were successful in moving out
some Of their people," Capt. Brown

ment in that respect Is the strong
indication they made a deliberate
effort to evacuate their senior off,
