...G.O.P. STRATEGY. "The key is Dirksen," says Mansfield, "with Hick-enlooper and Aiken." Besides Dirksen, he was referring to Iowa's Bourke Hickenlooper as a Midwesterner with influence over other rural conservatives, and Vermont's George Aiken as a leader of Northeastern moderates. Among them, these three could almost certainly swing enough Republican votes to put cloture across. Dirksen is in a tough spot.

Skirting gingerly the question of possible heresy, the assembly ruled that the Synod of New Jersey had exceeded its judicial authority in barring Dr. John Hick from membership in the Presbytery of New Brunswick. A professor of Christian philosophy at Princeton Theological Seminary, Hick was voted into membership of the presbytery last year; the synod rejected the election action because Hick had refused to affirm his belief in the virgin birth of Christ. The assembly decided that the synod had erred procedurely in questioning a presbytery's right to choose its own members...
