'Presbyterians in South
Name {. Darby Fulton
IAs New Moderator
Bv the Associated Press

ATLANTA, May 28.-Dr. C. Darby
Fulton of Nashville, Tenn, who
spent many years as missionary
in Japan, is the new moderator OF
the General Assembly of the Pres
byterian Church, u. S. (South).
He was elected at the opening ses-
sion of the eighth general assembly
last night and succeeds DR.. John
Rood Cunningham, president of
Davidson IN. c. College.
DR.. Fulton has been executive
secretary of foreign missions since
1882. He was born in Kobe, Japan,
to missionary parents, and served
as a missionary in Japan from 1916
until 1925.
Second Ballot Required.
DR.. William T. Thompson of Rich
mond, Va, and DR.. j. r. Mccain,
president of Agnes Scott College,
Decatur, Ga, also were nominated
for moderator None of the three
received a majority on the first bal
lot. DR.. Fulton and DR.. Thompson,
leading in the voting, were placed
on the second ballot.
DR.. Fulton received 189 votes to
1873 for DR. Thompson.
The question of union is expected
to come before both the Southern
Presbyterian Church and the Pres
byterian Church u S. A. (North)
The latter is meeting now in Seattle.
Both sessions will continue through
June 2.
Several arguments for and against
union have been drawn for presen-
tation during the session. Other
overtures will be received on with
draWal of the Southern church from
the Federal Council of Churches of
Christ.
Negro Problem Discussed.
Dr. Cunningham said in the OPEN
ing sermon last night that the
South's Negro problem is only a
small segment of the whole because
most of the worlds people belong
to other than the white race.
I'm the urgency, and practical
necessity for one world they be-
come part of our world. We must
find how to draw the circle of love
and take them in"
He said the fact that the South
does not agree with the methods
suggested by President Truman's
commission on civil rights for heal
ing wounds which we know te
exist" obligates Southerners to do
unofficially, in voluntary Christian
spirit, what we do not believe can
be or should be accomplished by the
enactment of law"

These complications might be

if, instead of chemical fuel, rocket
were powered with a small block of
uranium 235 or plutonium. Such a

Peron Won't Run Again,
War Minister Asserts
BY the Associated Press

NORFOLK, Va, May 28.-Presi-
dent Peron of Argentina will not
seek reelection, Gen. Jose Hum
berto Sosa Molina, Argentine war
minister, said here yesterday.
"Senor Peron considers six years
of hard work enough" Gen. Sosa
Molina told news conference.
His comment came when he was
queried concerning reports that Gen.
Peron might seek to retain Office
through a change in the Argentine
constitution, which now bars the
reelection of presidents.
The war minister, with staff of
Argentine army officers. was here
for an inspection of the combined
services staff school and the Norfolk
naval base.

A rocket ship to the moon is
definitely "a possibility" but the
only method within reason" seems
to be a long spiral flight through
space that might take years.
This picture of space travel was
painted last night by DR.. George
Gamow, professor of physics at
George Washington University and
author of "The Birth and Death Of
the Sun" and Biography of the
Earth" He addressed the Ameri-
can Society of Mechanical En-

and husbands and children, but who
ALLEVIATE them by their treatment.
Why, the average family does not
even use common politeness in deal
ing with each other, yet they know
perfectly we'll that good manners
are the lubricant that makes the
social machinery run smoothly.
None of us would think OF telling
stout woman that she was getting
too fat, nor a scrawny one that she
looked like q beanpole in her new
dress. Nor would we stop one Of the
endless takers in his often told tales
by telling him we had heard them a
million times before Nor would we
warn an elderly wolf to be his age
and lay of the debutantes.
But just let father or mother or
sisters or brothers try to tell story
and they are choked of in the first
sentence, which Is the main reason
that there Is so little conversation
In the home. Few people waste any
soft soap on the family. They keep
us ever reminded of our faults and
weaknesses. There is even phrase
for 1t. They call it telling us "home
truths" when they remind us OF
things that burn us up.
In all life there is nothing more
ironic than the cold, hard fact that
the secret of happy marriage is for
husband and wife to treat each
other as they would strangers. If
every husband and wife would ply
each other with the batteries and
cajoleries that they used during the
days of courtship; If they would
keep themselves looking as attrac-
tive; If they would take as much
trouble to keep OH of each others
pet prejudices, it would practically
do away with divorce. It Is when q
married couple begin to treat each
other like home folks that a mar
riaae goes on the rocks.
When We learn to be rs polite to
our families as We are to strangers,
We will stay married.

Why is it that families who really

other with 4 brutality that they
show to no one else on earth? No
one knows the why Of it. 1t Is just
one of the mysteries Of human be-
havior for which no one can ofier
an adequate explanation, for the
very people who run roughshod
over the sensibilities of those near
est and dearest to them are metic-
ulously careful, not to tread on the
feelings of strangers.
If only the husbands and wives
who have lost all affection for each
other fought like the Kilkenny cats,
you would set it down to their sense
of Illustration at being tied to mates
they had come to loathe. If it were
only the parents who regarded their
children as burdens who were tyr
annicaf and abusive to their young

ing a weak and helpless child.
