Even the sponsors of the CEP plan admit one defect, a defect that seems worse to us than it does apparently to them. Their plan assumes, as they admit, the existence of a body of courses which are not in the catalogue at present. Yet they say that the plan can be put into operation "without sweeping immediate changes or expansion of offerings."

It would legalize abortions performed in licensed hospitals if at least two physicians agree that there is substantial risk of grave damage to the mother's physical or mental health, or of the child's being born with a grave physical or mental defect, or when the pregnancy results from rape or incest.

Letters of Support. Mclntire optimistically claims that "anywhere from one-third to one-half of the United Presbyterian members" will defect from the church if the Confession is approved. That hardly seems likely, but there is some evidence for the charge by Executive Editor Nelson Bell of the conservative Protestant biweekly Christianity Today that "dissent will reach into almost every presbytery." Already, members of churches in Pittsburgh, Peoria and San Jose, Calif., have gone on record as opposing the Confession in its present form. In Seattle, the Rev.
