Seating of Disputed Delegations Could Determine Republican Nominee
Washington reports that 1,206 delegates at the Republican National Convention will decide the nomination with 604 votes needed. Taft and Eisenhower lead in delegates, 464 and 390 respectively, with 209 uncommitted. The seating of Southern bloc delegates from Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi could swing the outcome, and the credentials and temporary seating decisions will show which way the convention heads. The temporary chairman, Walter S. Hallanan, is cited as potentially impartial, though he is Taft-aligned.

Presbyterians Return Home After Five Day General Assembly
Presbyterians from 18 states and the District of Columbia adjourned the 92nd General Assembly in Charleston West Virginia after five days. They recommended layman service expansion, planned joint stewardship evangelism with Northern and United branches, and approved pulpit exchange among the three negotiating Presbyterians. The church opposed U S relations with the Vatican and twice declined funding an interdenominational Tokyo university while leaving donor freedom. Plans for unified structure will be revisited in 1953 with assemblies of each branch.
