Recommendations of the com mittee will be presented to the United Fund board at a goal-setting' meeting Aug. 28 in the Wachovia Bank and Trust Com pany directors room. The board will also hear a report from the campaign advisory committee as to the fund-raising potential on the basis of current business conditions. E.

Alfred Kremer, budget committee chairman, who presided at the meeting in the George Vanderbilt Hotel Wednesday, commended the panels for their thorough study of agency needs. He said their recommendations, if approved without change by the board, would establish a goal of $467,102. This takes into account a slight increase in campaign costs due to revision of the solicitation procedures. The goal would be increased $3,000 if a pending request for admission of a new agency is granted. The difference between the $339,014 in allocations and the estimated $467,102 goal would include a $36,000 shrinkage or re serve fund, the $3,000 for the new agency and the remainder 858 for campaign and admini strative costs which would include a $4,000 increase.

All of these are estimates and the exact amounts will be set by the board. The Fund last year obtained pledges totaling $452,091 on a goal of $482,330. All of the member organizations were cut back during the current year from their original allocations. To prevent another sucli oc currence, the budget committee this year plans to review all pre liminary allocations after the campaign closes Oct. 30.

and on the basis of nine months' experience in the 1958 programs. Allotments will be fixed by the board following hearing of appeals early in December. The six panel chairmen pre senting the allocation reports on the agencies Wednesday were L. R. Bowers, V.

WEAVERVILLE A 10-page resolution expressing concern over some conditions and trends in Protestantism and "developing within" the Southern Presbyterian Church was adopted here Wednesday by supporters of the Southern Presbyterian Journal. The action was taken at their annual meeting at the First Presbyterian Church here. The resolution, drawn by the Journal's board of directors, said in part: I "We believe that the greatest need of the Church, and the greatest need for the effective witness of the Church in an unbelieving world, is an unquali fied faith and witness based on the Bible itseir." it also said: "There is needed in our church today a genuine spiritual awak ening and revival. It is needed in our institutions, in our pulpits and in our pews Conditions listed over which the resolution expressed concern included: Some of the reaching in many church institutions con sists in a "qualified acceptance of the Bible.

There is an alarm ing absence of that sturdy faith in and resounding affirmation of the Scriptures which character ized the Church in past genera tions "There is an alarming lack of originality in most of the programs fostered by our boards. We have available the talent and abilities necessary to produce the necessary material, but a study of much of that now flood ing our Church leads right up to a centralized group, largely op erating in and coming out from New York offices. Here we find a regimented, carefully planned and skillfully-executed program for Protestantism as a whole which, in many of its aspects, reflects the philosophies of men and women to whom the historic evangelical concept of Christian faith is utterly alien." We are convinced that study of much of the material coming down to our boards and agencies from outside the boards of our Church has already had its effect and will eventually lead us into the era of ineffectuality so characteristic of much of Protestantism today, all because of following man-devised schemes rather than Spirit-directed activi ties." The resolution also said: "We are deeply disturbed over the in tolerance shown by sonre who consider themselves liberal in their attitude to those who be- Luther Hodges, and then chosen by the State Democratic Commit tee as nominee for the remainder of the term of the late Sen. Kerr Scott (D-NC), which ends in 1960. Hall practiced law at Sylva aft er getting his degree at the Uni versity of North Carolina as a spe cial student.

He was a victim of osteomyelitis at the age of 12, Hall also consulted Shuford and his office staff, and visited offices of North Carolina members of the House as well as those of the Senate. Hall started his motor trip to Washington Monday, stopping in Raleigh to see Gov. Hodges and visit in the Raleigh area. He arrived in the U. S.

Capital Tuesday, and is expected to leave Thursday.

My Answer By Billy Graham My husband is an infidel. Do you think there is any hone for him to change? R.

W. Sometimes an honest infidel is more admirable than one who says he believes but fails to live up to his beliefs. A passive belief, if not carried out in everyday life, is as damaging as open infidelity. The Bible tells us that even "the devils believe and tremble." But infidelity is rarely the result of intellectual honesty. Usually it is a ruse, an attempt to escape from truth.

I met a young man at Yale University, an influential student, who said that he could not honestly accept the fact of Christ. I asked him if he had ever read the New Testament. He answered that he had not. Since he was studying to be an attorney. I said to him: "Do you mean to toll me that as a would-be lawyer, you pass judgment without examining the evidence?" This led to a promise that he would read the New Testament.

The last I heard he was reading the Bible religiously. Indeed, there is hope that your husband will change. You have an opportunity to show him that Christ lives in you. I heard of an infidel husband who finally accepted Christ, and he gave this testimony: "When I watched my wife carry out the "leave-all-and-follow-me" command of Christ, I became a Christian in spite of myself." The ping pong balls one of which will contain a $50 bill will be released from several spo's in the downtown area beginning at 10 a. m.

Candidate Goes To Washington Ervin, Jordan Praise Hall Ping Pong Rain Of Cash Will Launch Dollar Days By MARGARET KERNODLE WASHINGTON WV-Sens. Sam Ervin (D-NC) and B.

George Shuford (D-NC). Both men claimed long friend ship with Hall, an osteomyelitis victim who has operated from a wheelchair since 1933. Hall plans to return to his home Thursday via Raleigh, where he has served one term in the State Senate. He said he came to Washington to familiame himself with the Capitol and look for a place to live next year. in my mind it not a ques tion of my coming to Washington it's only a question of how long I'm going to stay," he said with a big grin.

Hall's opposition is W. Harold Two thousand ping pong balls will rain down on the business! lection of Asheville Friday. They'll contain $5,000 in cash and free merchandise certificates. They'll be dropped by a helicopter being brought here to help promote "Dollar Days," a merchandising event being staged Friday and Saturday..
