By the Associated Press

Grand Rapids, Mich., May 26—The Presbyterians General Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution pledging its support “to the outlawing of war and hastening of the day where nations shall learn to war no more.”

The resolution was adopted after efforts to amend it to provide an agency to crystalize the peace sentiment, had it been beaten.
