GEIGER CHICAGO, June 26 Pennsylvania's delegation to the Republican national convention, like those of other states and territories, are awaiting with some amount of impatience Die time for balloting that will decide whether lt shall be Governor Dewey or Governor Bricker who is to be the Presidential nominee of the Republicans in the coming campaign. Members of the Keystone delegation feel that there will be little doubt about Governor Dewey's nomination on the very first ballot taking pride in the fact that Pennsylvania's 70 votes will clinch the thing. Nevertheless, they will feel more at ease after the nomination since they would not want their efforts wasted.

While Governor Edward Martin received the unanimous approval of the Pennsylvania delegation to cast all the state's votes for Dewey there are some few who admit their sympathies lie with Bricker. They declare, however, they will stand by the majority and give Dewey their vote with the remainder of the delegation. 8uch are the fortunes when the candidacies of two popular men are advanced. One Pennsylvania delegate of over-optimistic disposition has made the prediction that Bricker will indicate his withdrawal by nominating Gov. Dewey.

This view is, however, not shared by many. The Lehigh-Bucks delegation of two Engaged Luther E. -Musselman Helen Mohr The engagement of Helen Mohr, daughter of Mrs, Laura and the late Clinton Mohr, Coopersburg, to Luther E. Musselman, son of Mr. and Mrs.

Carl B. Rosenkranz of East Stroudsburg and Joseph Brobston of Nazareth are also present but in all likelihood will not be called upon to cast votes. The Montgomery district delegates, Joseph N.

Setting into motion the machinery for the proposed merger of the Evangelical and Reformed Church and the Congregational Christian Churches, the former denomination's General Synod this afternoon adopted a procedure that looks toward ultimate union of the two important church bodies. Although there was sharp debate for more than an hour, the recommended! Plan of procedure was adopted without a change. There were only a handful of dissenting votes. An amendment that would have postponed action indefinitely was defeated. In the resolutions.

Synod expressed its willingness to meet with the General Council of the Congregational Christian Churches in June, 1946, for a general discussion of the implications of the proposed union. Immediately after that meeting, the Evangelical and Reformed Church body will accent or reject a resolution approving the union. If the merger is approved by General the terms will be submitted to the component synods and, if they approve overwhelmingly. it will be consummated in June, 1947. During the coming biennium, all congregations, boards and synods of the Evangelical and Reformed Church will seek close fellowship with corresponding groups in the Congregational Christian churches to promote mutual acquaintance.

To that end, leaders of the two groups will go into the areas where the opposite group is not strong. Deplore Discrimination Moving through one of the busiest days since the sessions began last Wednesday. General Synod adopted strong resolutions condemning as "un-Christian. the anti-Semitic and anti-Negro feeling so prevalent today" and -deploring as anti-Christian, ac tivities and attitudes that engender distrust, suspicion and exploitation amontr the races of the world and the minority groups in the United States. Resolutions urged that the government establish permanent pro cedures for securing the objectives which have been sought by the committee on fair employment practice, The clerical and lay leaders ot the church went on record to urge the Federal Government to completely repeal the Asiatic exclusion act already lifted for people of Chinese ancestry.

Prejudices against American citizens of Japanese descent "have undermined the preaching of the gospel and respect for our democratic institutions," Synod-approved resolutions said. They commended the "fearlessness of our own mission boards and the Wax Relocation Authority of the Federal Government" In attempting to allay these prejudices. Pastors and congregations in com-munitites where the prejudices exist were urged to "boldly befriend and help these against whom, they are directed." Urge Higher Salaries I Without a dissenting vote, Synod urged every congregation to increase the salary of its pastor to meet today's cost of living and request Synod-ical councils in all areas to make every efTort to raise the salary average of the pastors within their Synods. In another action, the high church body insisted that every minister and every congregation within the denom ination become members of the pen sion fund. Synodical councils were instructed to confirm the call of a con gregation to a minister only upon the condition that the chartre.

together with the minister, agree to comply) with the specific provision of membership in the retirement annuity fund. A request from the pension board that It be granted not less than 20 per cent Of the monthly guaranteed advance of apportionment, was tabled average length or stay at Darnall is no more than two months.) In contrast to the tub and cold pack treatments are treatments ta stimulate men Whose Ulrtess has left them lethargic, morose and slow and halting in motion. Movies go over big with the more actively disturbed, but for the most part have little effect upon the slow types of patients. I witnessed a showing of a funny movie with some of the patients. Most of the quiet type Just looked at their hands or at the ceiling.

There was no foot-tapping during sprightly music, little laughter. One man got up in the middle of the picture and went and took a shower with his pajamas on before the attendants could stop him. Incidentally these attendants In army mental hospitals are among the unsung heroes of the war. Often they have to take plenty from assaultive patients, but they treat the men as mothers would treat a sick baby. They shine the men's shoes every morning a morale builder among the patients help them write letters, and spoon feed them If necessary.

The co-operation of the attendants is one of the reasons why Colonel Clive C. Odom. commandant, refers to the institution as "a hospital with a soul." After a visitor spends a day or two there, he learns what the colonel means. Valuable Nickel Now Coming From Cuba NICARO, CUBA. iJP) An epic Of American know-how has built a miniature Pittsburgh on this tiny peninsula to produce war-valuable nickel ore 5.000 tons of it every day.

Two years ago the site was a jungle. When John Baragwanath. now, general manager, came down here to begin work, "the mangrove was so thick we couldn't find a place to "land. I had to take off my pants and shoes," he said, "and wade across, holding them over my head." Today, there are smokestacks, fall- road truck, power plants and rrtnenl tanks; houses, apartments and bar racks for 3,000 persons. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, or ange-red smoke billows over the bay Giant cylinders, furnaces and ranks gulp down train-loads of red dirt, grind it, burn it and boil it to wrest out the nickel.

The United States has put 000 into the development which is designed to boost the Nation's supply of nickel by 15 per cent. The ore deposit is nine miles from the plant, in the foothills. No deep pits need be dug because the ore lies right on top of the ground, from 12 to 50 feet thick, containing about 45 per cent iron, 35 per cent moisture. some chromium and cobalt and from one to three per cent nickel. The deposit has been known since 1898, when it was second only to the Mesabi range In Minnesota as the world's largest reserve of iron ore.

A plant was built 40 years ago to process the iron ore and the 12 smokestacks of that abandoned plant are visible today, on the other side of Le-visa bay. Men at Nicaro say that plant fail ed because no way was found to re move the nickel and chromium from the iron. While these metals are used to manufacture steel, they the quantities must be calculated for the various purposes for which the THE MORNING CALL, Allentown, of the Evangelical and Reformed church the power to place pastors In congregations witnout the regular procedure of an election and a call, was deferred this morning by the General Synod of the denomination, as it began the second week of 1U biennial sessions here. Under the proposal, charges or pastors, or charges and pastors. Jointly agreeing to a voluntary change could report their desires to the president of Synod and the placement committee could assign the pastors to the congregations agreeing to the plan.

If, after two years, either the charge or the pastor would be dissatisfied, the procedure could again be instituted and another change made. The proposal, If it is ultimately adopted, will be an alternate to the normal policy of a congregation elect-, ring and calling its own pastor. Rev. Carl Leinbach of Lehighton called the move a blow at the traditional structure and policy of the Reformed Church, which historically has held that only the congregation itself can call the pastor lt wants to serve lt. Clergymen, he said, are called to serve their people and "do not enter Into a trial marriage" with th congregation.

Adopted this morning was a constitutional provision making lt mandatory upon a Synod to erase from ita rolls the name of any minister whoso leave of absence from specific Christian service exceeds five years. Dr. L. W. Ooebels.

president of the Church, answered objections that wera raised by pointing out that "if a man can't find a church for five years it is an indication that he has no special aptitude for the profession Into which he. once was called. The membership of the Board of National Missions was increased from 12 to 14 with the provision that at least eight of the members be ministers, and two be women. Previously there was one woman on the board. General Synod elects 12 of the board members, and they in turn are to elect two others.

Sayres, chairman of the committee on camp ownership reported. One of the most Impressive services in the history of the denomination took place Sunday night when 7500 men and women attended a special convocation at the York fair grounds.

Dr. Frederick W. Schroeder. president of the Eden Theological seminary, told the congregation that with so many good and necessary things to do. the Church needs to be on guard lest it neglect or forget Its primary responsibility to offer to the world Its gospel, which Is the one thin which the world needs most of all and which the Church alone li able to give.

He said that although the gospel Is "unique and adequate, the earthen vessels containing it are frail and faulty. The beauty of the gospel is marred and its effectiveness impaired when the life of the Church stands in obvious contradiction to the gospel." He described excessive sectarianism as "distorting the ffosnel In tha eyes of men who- are in search of truth and light." steel is Intended, and are not acceptable' in the fixed proportion provided by the ore. There is no doubt about the ora supply. Nlcaro officials say they have 30,000,000 tons of ore, enough to last 28 years, already in sight in six sep- arate, well-defJfced locations. Thus the destiny of Nicaro obviously hinges on the question: Will it be able to produce enough nickel after the war at costs low enough to compete with nickel produced in Canada, which heretofore has supplied nine-tenths of the world's output.

At work to make the answer "yes" are the wizards of Nicaro mining engineers, metallurgists, chemists, specialists ir every branch of industrial technique. Many of them are young men with college degrees and a decade or so of experience in mining operations all over the world. Others are older experts loaned bv the parent company, to help streamline Nicaro'a operations.

Heat and cold sometimes man's enemies, sometimes his friends are being used to advantage at the army's Darnell Gen eral Hospital in treating some of the more severe mental casualties of war. Methods most commonly used to calm disturbed patients and to "get through" to the cause of their trouble In many cases are the warm "continuous flow tub" and near freezing "cold pack" treatments. Certain drugs are, employed In other methods of treatments, including a newly-developed drug called sodium amytal, but Darnall uses drugs only in selected cases. The tub technique is essentially a grand and glorious warm bath as long as 36 to 48 hours at a stretch. The average bath Is 14 hours.

Bath tubs are filled with water gradually brought to a temperature of 94 to 96 degrees. Patients stretch out on a hammock-like arrangement so that if they fall asleep their heads won drop beneaUi the water. They are greased so that the water won do any tJdn damage. Patients can smoke if they wish, and an attendant is always seated at the side of the tub to watch the patient, feed him, read to him or just chat with him. Men who awake screaming, tor tured by some battle dream men who walk with a strange dancing motion men who think their mothers are calling to them All these quiet down, at least tem porarily, in the hot tub.

As their bodies relax, their minds quiet down, and the doctors can grapple with the problem more easily. Take the case or a za-year-oio. soldier whom I saw taking a tub treat ment. He was a paratrooper with the first group to jump in Sicilly. His hvsteria resulted In a Jerklness when he walked.

He virtually danced. A few hours before I saw him he had had a pretty bad attack of the Jerks, and he could scarcely speak. But now he has relaxed and was giving the doctors a clue to hl underlying trouble, I thought I was a coward De- cause I had to leave ine Doys, ne said, "but I didn't know I had left them until I woke up in a hospital. There were 12 of us lying on the ground and shells from German 88 were bursting all around. We had been wandering around like orphans for three or four davs after we jump ed.

We were lost, I guess. We lived on goat's milk, cheese and watermelon. The Jump Oh yeah, it was a tough one. About 1,000 feet I guess, and it was dark. They say you have butterflies in your stomach every time you Jump.

I had eagles in mine." The doctors said that each time the soldier gets a tub treatment, his condition improves a bit. One explain ed: "His icrkiness appears to be an escane For some reason he thoueht he was a coward, while every instinct within him cries out against cowardice, we feel mat nnai-ly his own control will take over, and the jerks will disappear. The temperature is close to ireez Inn. The patients first get a shocK ing sensation of cold. Then, gradually, a warmness pervades their bodies, and thev drift off into relaxing slum ber.

Men are kept in packs for two hours at a time. Some receive the treatment two or three times a cay. Ifcx-toi aav preliminary Indication are that In many cases tne com ueai-ment Is as effective as the more dras tic "electric shock therapy." Electric shock therapy is usually reserved for patients who are to oe kept In a hospital ror a long wme. (Darnall is a "disposition" hospital. Men are either reconditioned for return to military or civilian life, or transferred to veterans' hospitals or state and federal institutions.

The 33 Years Old Private Edward Schuler son of Mr. and Mrs. Estella Schuler of 1020 2nd North Catasauqua. and husband of the former Pedma Hoffert of Alien-town, yesterday observed his 33rd birthday in England. Prior to his induction on July 6, 1943, he was employed at the National Dyeing Allentown.

Hclfrich, Herbert Smith of Beth lehem was committed to the county jail until he furnishes assurance that he will comply with a support order.

Smith refused to give assurance that he would obey "the order to pay $5 a week support for his child and $2.50 a week on arrearages. He also said he could not furnish approved surety that he would comply with the order. The defendant's former wife Made line Smith Schaal brought the action She told the court her former husband was recently married and had "a big church wedding." Also that he had re cently sold his 1941 car and failed to make any payments. A foreman in the Bethlehem steel company, the evidence indicated Smith's net earnings are $45 per week. In another case involving a Bethle hem couple, the court ordered Joseph W.

Atkinson to pay $25 every two weeks to his former wife Gladys for the support of their two children. Atkinson, who is married again, has been paying that amount. The order makes it official. Wilbert Berg, former Northampton boilermaker admitted he left a job paying $1.35 per hour to go to work on a farm at $15 per week. Farming is my trade," he told the court in ex plaining his action.

It was also brought out that he lived for a while in Oklahoma where he worked at being a cow hand. He was ordered to pay $7.50 per week for the support of ms cnua and his wile Bernadine. "When I am home nobody rests said Hanna Haddad in explaining why he left his wife and. five children. He said his wife.
