By the Associated Press. ¥ INDIANAPOLAS, Ind., May 22.— Foundamentalists and liberals whose differences regarding interpretatjan of the Bible, have resulted in much dissension and corridor discussion at the general assmbly of the Presby- terfan Church of the United States, in session here, are expected to bring their fight to the convention floor to- day, when the committee on bills and overtures makes its report on the case of Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, liberalist leader, who questions the virgin birth of Christ and other Bible @octrines. Another Clash Possible. Another clash is expected when the committee on education makes its re- port. Mr. Bryan is expected to de- mand that the teaching of Darwinism in the denomination’s schools be pro- hibited, while educational leaders are expected to make a fight against any attdmpt to interfere with the study of science At vesterday's sission the assem- bly approved the consolidation pro- launched last vear, under | the sixteen boards and| sgencles of the church are reduced to four groups.
