Description:
Portland, Ore. -- Dr. Eugene Smathers, 60, pastor of a Presbyterian church in
Big Lick, Tennessee, which has never had more than 75 members, scored a
surprise upset when he was elected moderator of the 3.3 million-member United
Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. Dr. Smathers defeated Dr. William H. Hudnut
Jr., of New York, who recently led the denomination's Fifty Million Fund to a
successful conclusion. The new moderator suceeds Dr. Ganse Little, minister
of the Pasadena, California Presbyterian church. Dr. Smathers said he hopes
to "extend the strength and mission of the Church to the poor of the poor of
the world."
