Church Merger Foes
Can't Use Old Name
By the Associated Press.


BALTIM r E, Nov. IA. - The
Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals
ruled yesterday that certain former
members of the old Methodist Epis-
copal Church South, who refused
to go along with a merger of three
branches of Methodism, could not
continue to use that name.
The opinion reversed that of a
Federal district judge and took an
opposite view from that of the
supreme bench Of South Carolina.
It was written by Senior Judge
John ]. Parker and concurred in by
Judges Armistead M. Dobie and
Elliott Northcutt.
The opinion set forth that con-
tinued use of the name Methodist
Episcopal Church South by MEM
bers who opposed the merger would
cause confusion and enable them to
strengthen themselves at the ex-
pense Of the old church.
The church suit was brought by
eight bishops of the Methodist
Church against nine former men,
bers Of the old Methodist Episcopal
Church South, which in 1899 was
merged with the Methodist Episco.
pal Church and the Methodist
Protestant Church.

Mr.. Kogod, through his attorney,
Robert E. Lynch, asked rezoning
from semi-restricted residential to

street running south from Atlantic

Opposition was expressed by At

tended that Mr.. Garvin had sum-
cient land for six stores and that it
would be unfair to rezone land

Attorney Ringgold Hart also en-.
tered the controversy by asking for

Mr.. Hart said his client, s. 8.
Selgle, wished to build drugstore
and have other commercial enter
prises on his property. He declared
that within five squares of the prop
erty there were several thousand
new housing units and that there
was need for additional drugstores
In that vicinity.
The Rev. George J. Cannon, pas
tor of the Washington Highlands

Hart and Mr.. Lynch, declaring there
was sufficient land already avail
able for commercial development
and claimed that the commercial
plans would damage the residen.
tial areas.
500 Signatures Claimed.
Mr.. Lynch, however, told the
Zoning Commission that he had
signatures of almost 500 persons in
the area who were agreeable to a
commercial development. He fur
ther told the commission that
Peoples Drug Store, Hot Shoppes,
Georges Radio, Kent Cleaners, a
food market, Woolworth's sand
