Rome, Minister Says
AP Photo.
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, June GA
Richmond minister said today that
President Truman had assured a
group of Protestant churchmen that
Myron C. Taylor, the Presidents S
personal representative to the Vati-
can, would be recalled at the latest
by the time the peace treaties were
signed.
DR.. John A. MacLean, pastor of
the Ginter Park Presbyterian
Church Of Richmond, who repre-
sented the Southern Presbyterian
churches as one of the committee
of II calling on the President yes
terday, issued this statement:
I'VE were given assurance that the
appointment of Mr.. Taylor was
temporary eXpedient to give the
President the fullest opportunity to
make his contribution to the peace
We were assured that Mr.. Taylors
service as Ambassador to the Pope
might terminate at an early date,
but would certainly terminate with
the signing of the peace treaties"
The Richmond minister, who said
the group which called at the White
House yesterday represented more
than 100000 Protestants, COM
mented that the conference &C
complished at least two purposes. "
He said that the occasion was the
first in which the Protestants of
America have been fully united in
explaining to the President their
attitude toward retaining an AM
bassador to the Pope. Also, Dr.
MacLean stated. "for the first time
We have the assurance from official
sources that this arrangement is not
permanent but temporary, and will
definitely be terminated.
I'm the minds of Protestants," DR..
MacLean continued, the chief OBJ
lection to the appointment of Mr..
Taylor is that it clearly violates the
principle of separation of church
and state which is so large and i'm
portant part of the foundation of
our Government"

Official Probe bIames
Bride Ship Mothers
In Baby Deaths

Unclean habits of some of the
mothers on the Army brideship
Zebulon B. Vance has been officially
labeled contributing cause in the
deaths of eight of the babies who
came here on the Vance.
In a report made public late yes
terday by the War Department, a
special board of inquiry into the
Vance tragedy found:
l. The ship and its hospital area
were ''scrupulously clean"
2. There was no neglect of the
medical staff which contributed to
the spread of the disease, nor were
any members of the medical staff
intoxicated"-as some of the moth
ers had contended.
3. There was testimony from doc
tors and nurses that the mothers
IN general were personally unclean
that some slept in their clothes, per-
mitted babies to suck on dirty paci-
hers, used nonsterile nursing bottles
led the infants irregularly and were
careless with soiled diapers.
The findings of the official board
were similar to those of two indie
pendent investigators-Col. K. R.
Lundeberg, assistant director of the
preventive medicine division, Office
OF the surgeon general. and Col.
}. r. Messersmith, chief of the
movements control division. office
OF the chief of transportation-who
told The Star yesterday that moth
ers poured baby formulae out of
sterlllzed bottles into their own non
sterile containers.
The board of inquiry report said
the cause of the disease had not
been established definitely but that
1t resembled epidemic infantile
dlarrhea, summer diarrhea and
cholera infantum.
The disease probably was trans
mitted by direct contact, the report
said, which was undoubtedly con-
trlbuted to by the laxity of the
sanitary habits of the mothers"
OF the soldier wives being brought
from Europe to their husbands in
this country, the Vance passenger
list showed 242 from France, 1874
from Belgium. two from Poland and
one from Holland.
The inquiry board found that no
misconduct or neglect of the medical
staff aboard the vessel contributed
in any way to the cause or spread
of the illness" and added:
ON the contrary, if a break in
technique was contributing cause,
it undoubtedly was occasioned by
the lax sanitary methods employed
by the mothers in the care of the
infants"
In the report, Col. Edward M.
Marsh, director of preventive medi-
cine, Office of the Surgeon Gen.
eral, I'd Service Command, was

quoted as testifying that he believed
the infection was introduced before
the ship left France and was likely
transmitted from mother to baby
because of an insanitary and unhy-
gienic manner of living.
The board recommended that no
infant under year be put aboard
ship from Europe and that more
thorough physical examinations be
given mothers and babies before
they sail.
The Inquiry Board included 1t.
Col. Edwin T. Miller, Army Trans
portation Corps; 1t. Col Thayer
Chapman, Inspector Generals Di-
vision; Capt. Lawrence I. Michel,
Medical Corps, and DR.. Roy E.
Bodet, medical director of the Pub

ice at Staten Island.
