THOMPSON - N- Publisher Office Manager L SUPREME COURT COLUMBUS, Ohio (AWF) The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States at its 149th convention, just ended, heard resolutions to renounce war as an instrument of national policy; to give moral support and ma- terial aid to the Loyalist government of Spain; to protest compulsory military training in schools, and colleges; to censure the Federal government for its proposed expenditures of $1,000,000,000 for armaments during the next fiscal year; and to endorse the proposed Child Labor Amendment to the Federal Constitution. While formal action rests with the General Assembly to be held in Philadelphia next year, the reports, resolutions and overtures presented at this convention will allow the communicants of the church to determine for themselves the right or wrong of these problems by bringing them to the attention of the 276 Presbyteries.
