6NaE 6NaA NAAtcA
CLEVELAND, May Is - The
United Presbyterian Church.
USA, concluded its 172d Gen.
eral Assembly yesterday after
arguing for more than two
hours over race relations and
the principle of voting for a
Catholic for President.
The two questions were part
of a report submitted to the
992 ministerial and elder COM
miSsionerS, representing the
3.2-million-member denomina-
ton. by the Social Education
and Action Committee.
Most Of the long arguments
on the race relations section
came over a statement calling
on Presbyterians to support
current student demonstra-
tionS" when conducted in a
violent manner. The state
ment which was finally passed
assured students of our COM
mon cause with those who for
the sake of conscience par
ticipate in such responsible
n-violent demonstrations"
but also warned them Ito rec
ognize the dangers to the civil
order inherent in conflict with
established authority"
Warning on Violence
The Rev. Alexander Warren
Of Lexington, KY, warned the
Assembly many sit-down DEM
onstrations begin peacefully and
then end violently.
Appealing to the commits
sioners not to approve the
statement, Warren declared,
when we start in indorSing
non-violent sitdownS, we are
not in a position to know
whether they will get out of
hand or not"
Don Black of Malibu. Calf,
told the gathering. For the
Presbyterian Church to advo-
cate disobedience to the civil
law strikes me as an extraor-
dlnary action. Let us not pre-
sumo to take the law into our
hands and render to God the
things that belong to Caesar.
I would not wish to assume any
responsibility for such action"
The statement on voting for
a candidate for President was
amended from believes that it
is an act of religious bigotry
to support or oppose a candi-
date solely or primarily because
of religious affiliation" to be
lieves that it is an act of ir-
responsible citizenship to sup
port or oppose a candidate
solely because of his religious
affiliation."
Some Resentment
The amendment grew out of
a suggestion by the Rev. Jay
Warren Rowen of Arlington.
Va, after several delegates e&-
pressed resentment at the idea
they were "bigots" If they op-
posed a candidate because of
his religious affiliation.
The Rev. Keith T. PoStleth-
waite of Bladensburg, Md.
charged that the idea of big
otry was used in the West Vir-
Rinia primary and that people
voted (for Senator Kennedy,
Democrat of Massachusetts,
for fear of being called bigots."
Mr.. Rowen told the assem-
bly,. I'VE all know that a mans
religion must play a part in
his politics or his religion is
not worth anything. But we
also believe it is bigotry to vote
for or against a man because
Of his religion"
The section as amended was
overwhelmingly adopted.
Other issues in the Social
Education and Action Commit

assembly included the follow

The Nation has just undergone a
most serious operation that of
having its a-politics removed.
Just how successful was the OPP

It was what may be termed a

not that it is my intention to un-
scramble the scrambled and set
out to tell what that first is, but
you no doubt will get tired of
reading and hearing about it.
Some may think it even brought

that no one is now capable of
making up their own mind. Some
infer that the only time a certain

to hold the next National con-

There are two reasons why Professor

Forester does not take into account the

BY 2o26 we may be visiting other

they can hurt those who invest

United States and Cuba does develop.
1t is thought that war over Cuba would
be highly unpopular in the Soviet
Union and that Khrushchev knows as
much. 1t is doubted that he would full

Lending weight to reports that
Khrushchev has become convinced that
Castro.is reckless leader was the Rus

duled trip to Havana recently.
With the possibility of such Incidents
becoming more and more obvious, Mos
COW is apparently DESTROYS of keeping
its commitment to Castro flexible
enough to avoid an about war over
Cuba. And if Khrushchev should blind
ly back Castro, the question of war or
peace would be turned over to this
emotionalist, with the fate Of civiliza-

BabsOn Discusses Savings

BABSON PARK. MASS, Nov.
10 ~ Up until few months ago,
the popular subject of discussion
was the so-called golden six
ties" business boom. Expecta-
tons were based largely upon
the projected growth in popula-
ton and consumer spending
predicated upon the free-spending
attitude of consumers since the
end of World War II. Consumers
have upset the applicant. how
every. by exhibiting greater patti
ence with regard to building new
homes and purchasing durable
goods. Moreover, they are putting
away larger amounts in savings.
The net result has been a slow
ing down of industrial activity.
BRAKES ON INITIATION
Political promises have been
thrown at voters by the candi-
dates in an attempt to claim
credit for hating initiation. The
truth of the matter is that the
bulk of the credit belongs to the
consumers. Although Federal
monetary policies designed to
tighten credit can dampen infla-
tionary pressures, it is the volun-
tary action Of consumers which
determines spending and borrow
ing.
BY sticking to a systematic and
intelligent savings program, the
readers of this column can both
help check initiation and lay the
groundwork for a healthy period
of future economic growth. Cure
all legislation suggested by poll
ticians appears very tempting;
but it is the old-fashioned habit
of THRIFT which, in the long
