Presbyterian Clergy
Po|Ied on Remarriaqe
OF Divorced Persons
By Cospor Nonnes

Presbyterian ministers here TODAY
are pondering the answers to a
QUESTIONABLE concerning their atti-
tude on the remarriage of divorced
persons.
The QUESTIONABLE, handed to
them yesterday at meeting of the
Presbytery of Washington City. held
In the New York Avenue Presby-
terrain Church, cites the basis for
determining the Scriptural grounds
Tor divorce to be passage from the
Westminster Confession of Faith.
This states: Nothing but adul-
terry, or such willful desertion as
can no way be remedied by the
church or civil magistrate, is cause
sumcient OF dissolving the bond of
marriage"
II a minister declares he does
marry divorced person, the ques-
tionnaire, prepared by the Presby-
tery's Committee on Social Educa-
ton and Action, then asks:
Il. Do you limit such marriages
to a person who is, from the Scrip
tural viewpoint, the innocent party?
Questioned on Waiting Period.
2. Do you require of such an
innocent party that period of one
year from date of divorce decree
must elapse before you will unite
him in marriage?
3. Do you refuse to unite in
marriage person Of another de-
nomination, If you know that that
church would prohibit the mar
Iiage?"
Chairman Of the committee that
prepared the questionnaire Is the
Rev. James F. Lundquist, pastor
OF the Lewinsville Presbyterian
Church, Mclean, Va.
A total of $3.50, ,569, or IS per cent.
of the $347,012 restoration fund for
the District has been pledged, the
Rev. Ralph K. Merker, chairman of
the local Restoration Commission,
announced yesterday Of this
amount $278,515, or "a per cent,
already has been paid
DIR. Norman o. Maxim, Australia
Ambassador to the United States,
told the meeting yesterday minis
tiers have a greater opportunity to
influence the world than political
leaders.
Student Help Urged.
The Rev. DR.. Lloyd Brown, West
minister Foundation pastor in the
National Capital Area, told the
gathering the needs of Presbyte-
rian students at George Washing
ton University, the University of |
Maryland and Howard University |
are far beyond the facilities avail
able to them. He urged further
study be given to the problem of
helping these students in spiritual
matters.
A memorial paper eulogizing the
Rev. Freeley Rohrer, Stated clerk
emeritus, who died September 6,
was read by the Rev. T. Hugh Mac
Leod, retired minister. Mr. Rohrer
served as pastor of Metropolitan
Presbyterian Church from 1917 to
1887 and as moderator of the Pres
bytery of Washington City on two
occasions.

case shall the term Of the insurance
exceed the term of the loan.
3. A copy Of any insurance policy
covering a loan must be presented
to the borrower within 20 days after
making a loan on which insurance
is required. Loan papers must de-
scribe each type Of insurance re-
quired.
Result Of Complaints.
Mr.. Gray explained that under
the proposed new regulations .
loan company will have to accept
the interest only as recompense for
all Its myriad service charges, notary
fees. investigation costs and variety
Of other charges. u
Mr.. Gray said the proposed whole
sale revision and redef1nition of the
Loan Shark Act" resulted from the
great number Of complaints received
by city officials from borrowers who
said they were charged excessive
sums for service charges" connected
with the seemingly simple operation
of lending money. He emphasized
the regulations do not affect banks,
building and loan associations, Sc
curity and insurance loans.
Chapman T. Nottingham, super
intendent Of licenses, said the regu.
lations contain provisions for strict
policing of the money lending husi-
ness. For instance, loan operators
would be required to list allstransac-
tons on lledgers readily available
for inspection.
Would Require Fingerprints.
Applications for licenses toyengage
in money lending would contain the
names of every person and the
names used by each individual in q
company's insurance, new and used
car transactions. or in the business
of lending money. This is calculated
to prevent q money lender-who
also Is an insurance agent or
broker-from charging fees for busi-
ness he transacts with himself.
The regulations also would re.
quire officers and employees of firms
making loans to file three sets of
their fingerprints with the Police
Department. The regulations will
prevent the practice Of a used-car
dealer telling purchaser they can
buy on time" and then receiving
a commission from loan company
for arranging a loan.
Proposed penalties for violations
of any section of the new regula.
tions are fines from $25 to 5000 or
jail sentences of from to 80 days.
Such violations Z. would be misde.
meanors. "a -ra1 "a,

life of the program. They saved 1t,
but they could not completely re-
store it. The program was seriously
damaged by the Republican Eigh-
tieth Congress. ...
Here is a significant fact. Nine
teen forty-seven was the first year
in a decade and half that the
Republicans had control of Con-
gress. And that was the first year
in which the Congress took a step
backward in the spiral of soil con-
servation since that program was
begun.
The first time the Republicans
had a chance they began to under
mine conservation.
Now let's look at another subject
that is closely bound up with your
future-the industrial development
of the West.
know that all of you recognize
the Importance of creating new
industries in this region. using the
resources of the West SO as to re-
duce your industrial dependence on
the East.
Hydroelectric Power.
For my part, am convinced that
rapid and sound industrial develop
ment in the West will make a vital
contribution to the living standards
and well-being, not only of the
people of the West, but of the en-
tire Nation. The heart of the
Western industrial development
program is hydroelectric power.
Coupled with irrigation projects and
flood control, electric power is of
fundamental Importance to your
future.
The Democratic Party for the
past Is years has been energetically
developing the great dams, irriga-
ton projects and power systems
which have contributed so much to
the prosperity of the West.
But as soon as the Republican
Party gained control of the Con-
gres 1t began to tear down the
whole Western development pro-
gram. The Republicans .slashed
funds right and left. They cut
back projects to bring water to the
land and electric power to industry.
Right here in this State, the
Colorado-big Thompson project Is
under way 1t is an inspiring project,
involving the transfer Of water from
one side of the continental divide
to the other. The Republican Con-
gress sharply reduced the funds for
that project. When I pointed out
the danger Of that action and re-
quested them to restore those funds.
they refused.
Against Peoples Interest.
Wherever you turn, no matter
what the field of activity, you find
the same story. In the light of the
evidence, say fatty that the Re-
publican leaders have been working
against the interest of the people,
They have been the eager agents of
the big business lobbies and the
most reactionary elements in Amer
ican economic life.
In the last 16 years, Democratic
administrations have built a firm
foundation for a new and greater
West.

RADIO Democrats, But Mr.. Truman
only got around TO saying . kina
word for the Senator, and thateiI
rather mild fashion, when he urget
that the State send . solid Demo
cratic delegation to the next Con,
gress. He made that plea in I
Dack-platform talk at Colorado
Springs.
The Presidents speech at the Cap
itol was along the same lines that
he talked when in the West In June
Congress drew ire for cutting down
on land and water development
funds and for failing to act on prices
and housing. The back platform
talks were similar vein.
The Wall Street reactionaries'
got the usual attention, with Mr.
Truman charging that "the most re-
dictionary elements today are back
ing the Republican Party In its ef-
fort to take over your Government
on Election Day"
I, Gets Some Applause.
IF they succeed, I predict that
they will try to turn back the clock
to the day when the West was an
economic colony of Wall Street." he
added.
The Presidents sallies drew bursts
of applause several times. but the
demonstrations were not pronounced.
His appeal for election Of . DEM
ocratic administration was cheered.
On the way to make this talk. the
President dropped into the State
House Of Representatives for q brief
greeting with the delegates attend
ing the Inter- american Conference
on Conservation Of Renewable Re-
sources.
Conservation Called Peace Factor.
This is the first affair of the sort
ever held and Mr.. Truman ex-
pressed the hope that he will thor
oughly cement the friendship be-
tween the 81 Western Hemisphere
Republics"
He also envisions the conserva-
ton effort as spur to peace, de-
clearing, IT we can 60 through with
a program such as you are working
with here, there isn't any question
in my mind but what eventually we
will have peace in the world and
there will be enough of the good
things Of life for every citizen of the
world to enjoy as good living, plenty
to eat, and plenty to wear, and q
pleasant place to stay and call his
own"
At the Truman Barkley Club
luncheon where the President
shared honors with Mrs. Truman
and Miss Margaret Truman, he
referred lightly to the intra-party
troubles which were shaking the
Democrats before the convention,
and coupled this with q defense of
his administration, which he as
serted had continued to make the
Government run" in the difhcult
transition from war to peace.
The President was facing another
busy scheduled today with eight
stops on his program, and he was
showing the effects of the grueling
pace which he has been hitting since
Saturday.
A hoarseness which he thought
was correcting itself after develop
ing over the week end was proving
bothersome last night. and Brig.
Gen. Wallace Graham, White House
physician, was using q spray in an
effort to clear up the trouble.
Tomorrow the President moves
into Nevada and California with q
night speech scheduled at San Fran
cisco.

Did Nothing About Prices.
When I called the Republican
Congress into special sessions this
year and asked them for price con.
troll measures, they said that m!
request was made for political pur-
poses. They used that as an excuse
and did nothing about prices. They
consistently forgot, that had called

The Republicans could easily
have taken this issue out of politics
merely, by doing something about it
But they did nothing.
I have been talking about the
conservation of our economic we'll.
being. Now I come to a particular
phase of that conservation that has
special interest for you of the West
You live in a region whose whole
future depends on its wise use OF
the rich resources that nature has
provided.
Early in this century a unique
Republican President, Theodore
Roosevelt, fought for conservation
only to be repudiated by his own
party.
All through the Republican Ad-
ministration, from 1921 to 1898, big
business pressure groups prevented
adequate conservation measures
from being put into effect. They
wanted quick profits, the easy way
And so western forests, were logged
off and left barren. Range lands
were grazed off and ruined. Farm
land was worked to the point where
its fertility was gone. Precious
water ran unused past barren land
There was no soil conservation pro-
gram, no range conservation pro-
gram.
Valuable Resources Lost.
The Nation lost tremendous guam
titles of its most valuable resources.
The West continued to bow to Wall
Street-furnishing raw materials at
low prices and buying back finished
goods at high prices.
Then in 1888 came the Democratic
of Franklin Roose-
welt.
Under his leadership, conservation
was made a living reality. You
know better than any one how much
it has meant to the West.
The Democratic Administration
won its fight for conservation and
for Western development against
the bitter opposition of Wall Street.
You of the West see the results of
our victory every day. You see
those results in bigger and better
crops: in new. industries; in the
growing national parks and forest
and the tourists who visit them, in
the rising standards of living of the
peoples OF the West; and in the
stronger economy of the whole
Nation.
But we still have long way to go.
We are still using our timber faster
than We grow it. Thousands of
acres of land are still being washed
away every year. Disastrous floods

A legend which antedates the

dim past ages the Indians of the

bravery of the Salishans, made bad
medicine against the latter. AS a
result terrible epidemic (now
believed to have been small pox)
