D“ ESIRE for preservation of the traditions of the Second Presbyterian Church, Pennsylvania and Vermont Sts., is behind the movement to prevent its removal by the World War Memorial commission. The church stands on the northwest corner of the plaza site. The church organization is one of the oldest in the city and the present building has stood for many years.

Denny, 1433 N. Pennsylvania St., former mayor, and for many years connected officially with the church, also is working to save the building. He recalled an address made by

Reid, 414 Ardmore Apts., a mem-
