COUNCIL REBUKED BY PRESBTERIANS Federal Group’s Favor of Birth Control Draws Church Reprimand. By the Assecisted Fress | PITTSBURGH, June 3.—The Fed-, eral Counc) ot Churches of Christ in America toaay stood rebuked by me} General Assembly of the Presbyterian | Church in the United States of Amer-| ica for the report approving birth con- | trol issued by a committce of the Fed- eral Council. 1 Gently admonsshing the council yes- terday by adopting a resolution saying “the general cauncil disapproves ec- | clesiastical profouncements on _the | subject of birth control,” the assembly | went_further by adopting a motion of | the Rev. Mark A. Matthews of Seattle instructing the council “to hold its | peace on all questions relating to mo- rality and delicacy” until they have been discussed with its constituents. Though the assembly agreed to con- tinue fhrther its participation in the | Federal Council, the action was far| from unanimous. | Withdrawal Sought. | A group lead by the Rev. J. E Crowin, Pana, Il insisted that the| assembly withdraw. A statement from | the church general council, how gave encouragement to the majority in support of what Dr. Hugh Thomson Kerr of Pittsburgh called “the needed voice of Protestantism’—the Federal Council. Mr. Crowin, calling the council an “obstreperous, unruly child.” contended that to continue in the council would leave the church in fear of further pronouncements _ that would further | “pumiliate and disgrace us.” In opposi- tion, Dr. H. B. Smith of Los Angeles while admitting that the council shoul be criticized, insisted that continuing| membership would give opportunity to guide the work of the organization. Next Meeting Place. The assembly today faced the routine of closing its session, with selection of the next place of meeting late in the afternoon. Invitations have been re-| ceived from Denver, Seattle and Los Angeles. | Further action toward liberalizing | the church attitude concerning women | was taken yesterday with submittal to | the presbyteries of an overture for re- | organization of the general council of | the church permitting women to hold membership in that body for the first time. Disapproval of dances and card parties as church functions was ex- pressed by resolution, together with adherence to upholding the eighteenth amendment. PARLEY SITE CHOSEN.

GOVERNMENT DROPS OIL MERGER FIGHT Standard of New York and Vac- uum Company Combination Now Is Assured. The Department of Justice announced . that no further attempts will be made by the Government to prevent the mer- ger of the Standard Oil Co. of New York and the Vacuum Ofl Co. Stating that there would be no appeal of the case to the Supreme Court of the United States, the department said an app-al “undoubtedly” would sustain the | facts found by the District Court of Missouri, which declined to enjoin the merger. . | “It has been determined that the | Government is not justified,” the de-| partment said, “in prolonging this liti- gation by a futile appeal to the Su-| preme Court.” It is intended to merge the $450.- 000,000 capital stock and $708,000,000 | assets of Standard of New York and | the $128,000,000 capital stock and $205 000,000 assets of Vacuum in a wor wide petroleum products corporation. Three judges of the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals held the merger would | not be a violation of the historic Stand- | ard Ofl dissolution decree of 1909. They | held the decree was intended to prohibit | only a merger which would actually violate the law against combinations in restraint of trads b Convention Head MISS CASEY MAKES PLANS FOR MEETING HERE.

Seven briefs, embodying the views of as many interests in the rail-motor issue, were presented yesterday to the Interstate Commerce Commission, which now is engaged in studying the subject of co-ordinating highways and railroad service, preparatory to making recom- mendations to Congress. ‘The briefs will be used in connection with testimony taken at the Nation-wide hearings, which were concluded recent- ly. Railroad employes, the State Rail- road Commission of Iowa, the Rallway Express Agency, the Western.Traffic Ex- | ecutive Committee, the Colonial Na: gation Co., the St. Louis-San Francisco !R.flwly and the Interstate Motor Car- riers’ Association were among those filing briefs. Labor Makes Appeal. ‘The railroad employes through the Rail- way Labor Executives’ Association, an organization of the heads of railroad labor unions and brotherhoods, asked the commission to consider the condi- | tions under which motor truck and bu: employes work, and to remove restric- | tions from railroads that they might complete freely on the highways. ‘The interstate motor carriers said that to regulate interstate common car- | rier busses #nd trucks would force ordination of motor and rail transpor- tation.” Say Regulation Falled.
