Presbyterian Leaders
Pick Portland Pastor
Loi Angeles (U.R) Dr. Paul
8. Wright, newly-elected mod
erator of the Presbyterian
church, Saturday night en
visioned a program for the com
ing year which stressed evange
ism, leadership training and be
novelent activities.
The 59-year-old pastor of the
Firjt Presbyterian church in
Portland, Ore., said the nation
and the world are on the crest
of a great new religious enthu
siasm. "It ii a major goal of the
church to respond to this en
thusiasm and fulfill the needs
of the people," he said.
Succeed! Dr. Lloyd
Wright was elected moderator
at the church's 167th annual gen
eral assembly to succeed Dr.
Ralph Lloyd, president of Mary
ville College in Tennessee. Up
setting pre-election predictions,
he acquired the highest honorary
post in the church with 510
votes, compared to 393 for his
only opponent.
He said he would press harder
for non-secregation doctrines
with emphasis on training in the
church's colleges and hospitals.
But the main phase of his pro
gram would be expansion
through missions.
Wright said he seeks an inten
sive training program to provide
lay leadership which he deems
necessary to accommodate per
sons who are joining the church.
"We shall take advantage of
this ground swell of religious
feeling." he said.
Vote Down Women
One of the major questions be
fore the general assembly was
a proposal to allow women in
the ministry. The assembly twice
has approved it, but the churches
turned down the action.
Wright said that as moderator
of the church of more than 2,
500,000 members he did not feel
free to speak for or against the
proposal to break with the past
and ordain women ministers.
But he did say there is a
"growing sentiment" toward
opening to women the offices
now held only by men. He noted
that many women had dis
tinguished themselves in the
service of the church.
The assembly also considered
merger of the Presbyterian
church, the southern branch that
broke off during the Civil war
and the United Presbyterian
church.
Wright foresaw no immediate
action on the long-standing pro
posal. He said a committee
would continue discussions with
the two other communions and
that "it is just a matter of time."

One of the Great Steps of His Life )
When t man takes possession of his first Cadillac,
many wonderful things happen to him.
First of all, of course, is the great "lift" he gets
from the car itself. When he settles down behind the
wheel, turns the ignition key and starts for home
well, it's a great life, and no fooling!
There's a wholly new feeling of security- Weightr
and size and strength are all about him. There's
a new sense of mastery over the car. The response
of the engine the action of the brakes the easy
feel of the wheel . . . everything gives him a feeling
of confidence he never knew in a motor car before.
And, of -course, he can't help noting the quick
glances of approval he gets from other motorists.
Quite a change from yesterday, when he himself was
stealing glances at the people in Cadillacs!
And so it goes on that "first wonderful ride with
a new thrill every minute until the car turns into
the driveway. And then comes the greatest thrill of
all the wild and enthusiastic approral of that little
group whose welfare is his constant inspiration.
Don't worry about dinner tonight let's go for a ride!
This is only the beginning, of course. Every day
and month and year adds to the satisfaction. There's
the joy of the first cross-country trip; the pride from
that first matching of gasoline and mileage; and the
constant proof that the dream he dreamed is in
almost everybody's heart. '
Yes, when a man steps into his first Cadillac, he
takes one of the great steps of his life
And it's a much, much easier step to take than
most people realize. The cost of a Cadillac is re
markably low. And once you own it . . . well, many
contend that it is as economical, over the years, as
any car you could buy.
Better come in and see us soon. We'll give you a
ride that will thrill you and some facts and figures
that may amaze you. Why not make it today?

Multnomah Favors
Continuing Levy
Portland (U.R) Voters In
Multnomah county Friday cast
56,215 votes in favor of continu
ing a county services tax levy
and 12,044 votes in opposition
to the levy. The vote will create
no new taxes but will continue a
present 4Vi mill levy.
Measure in the special election
was supported in each of the
814 precincts in the county.
The vote will permit county
commissioners to spend, $3,800,
000 per year that was dependent
on the levy. Vote was necessary
because county commissioners
last year sought to eliminate
necessity for the levy by ask
ing for a new tax base. Tne pro
posal was turned down by the
voters.
Because loss of the income
would have required severe cur
tailment of county services, com
missioners agreed to go ahead
with the special election which
would cost an estimated $120,-000.

Morgan Levels ISIasIt
At T. lawson RflcCaM
Portland, Ore. (U.R) How
ard Morgan, state Democratic
chairman, Friday, night sharply
criticized the Republican party
for the "direct subsidization" of
Tom Lawson McCall with public
funds when McCall was a candi
date for Congress.
Morgan delivered a stinging
rebuke to the Oregon GOP dur
ing a 30-minute talk over Port
land radio station KEX.
The Democratic chairman said
that McCall served as executive
secretary for two interim com
mittee of the "Republican legis
lature while he was "engaged
full-time in doing iust one thine
running for Congress."
Morgan charged that McCall,
who was defeated by Democrat
Mrs. Edith Green last November,
received $4,133.70 as secretary
of the Public Employees Retire
ment System Interim Committee
and the Public Assistance In
terim Committee.
Charges Subsidization
"What this amounts to is the
direct subsidization, from the
public treasure, of a partisan
Republican candidate in a public
election . . ." Morgan said.
Morgan also flailed out at
what he called the "disappoint
ing" record of the Republican
dominated 1955 legislature. A
"major failure," he said, was

there had never been anything
