1 PRESBYTERIES SEEK SCHDDLROW PEACE Church Assembly Delegates to Be Asked tc End Prince- ton Battle Today. By the Associated Press. r ST. PAUL, Minn, May 27.--Settle- ment of a controversy, which for a decade has been a sore point in the esbyterian Church of “the United States, which involves control of Prince- ton Theological Seminary, Princeton, N. J, and conflict between “funda- » and_“liberal” groups at the institutiox sought at the church gewmeral assembly here teSdy. Victory for the “liberal” group ap- pears to be in prospect for the first time with the new moderator, Dr. Cleland B. McAfee of Chicago, sympathetic to their cause. The result of a test vote last Friday which Dr. McAfee scored a victory over Dr. J. Gresham Machan, ultra-con- servative member of the Prineeton faculty, is regarded by delegates as signifying a complete triumph today. Single Board Is Urged. The “liberal” program calls for creation of a single board of control for the seminary and dissolution of the two boards of trustees and directors, now in conflict. In addition it pro- vides for extension of the power of the nt to make possible effective oward ending faculty conflict. has the controversy become campus, the assembly members of the two fac- faculty have refused to one another even to the ex ng hands. ‘The assembly was told that the spiritual energy of the church was being reduced. ‘Women's Equality Acted On, Two important steps were taken by the assembly last week. The first pro- vides for appointment of a commission to negotiate with representatives of other Protestant Churches regarding orgenic union. The churches toward which definite negotiation is proposed include the Protestant Episcopal Church, the Methodist Episcopal Church North, the Methodist Episcopal Church South, the Presbyterian Church.of the United States South, and the Reformed Church Synod, generally known as the Dutch Reformed Church. Negotiations with the latter two church bodies are to be undertaken separately also. The other outstanding action was de- cision to submit to the 214 Presbyteries overtures which would give women parity with men in affairs of the church. ‘A majority of the Presbyteries must vote affirmatively for each overture before they become the law of the church.

By the Assoclated Press. ST. PAUL, Minn, May 27—That a crisis is faced with respect to enforce- ment of State and national laws in the United States was the message deliv- ered today to the 141st General Assem- bly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America by one of its principal committees. To assist in bringing about “proper respect for law,” the administrative committee of the church's general council recommended an elaborate plan of action including the creation of a special commission, but specifically stated that its intention is to maintain distinct separation of the functions of church and state and to make its in- fluence felt morally rather than legis- latively. “While the church ought at all times to give the Government its moral sup- port, that duty instantly becomes more peremptory and exacting in a time of crisls,” the assembly was told by the committee, which then referred to the address of President Hoover at_the Associated Press luncheon at New York in April, sayin; “When the President of the United States can say, in a carefully prepared public address, that in his opinion we are suffering from what is no passing crime wave, but that it seems to him more like a subsidence of the moral foundations upon which our republic rests, there should be no doubt in the mind of any one that the Nation is fac- ing a crisis as grave as any in our his- tory., The American people has seldom, if ever, received a more weighty and solemn call to rouse itself and fight for its life than in this address of our Chief Executive. It is like ‘fate knocking at the door.’” —_———— BIG SHOES NOW FASHION FOR CHINESE WOMEN Brogues Nine Inches Long Grace Feet That Once Were but Three in Length. NEW YORK (#).—Big shoes for women are at a premium: in China, once famed as the land of the tiniest feminine feet in the world, and brogues 9 inches long now grace the feet that formerly numbered but 3. Tiny feet even are considered a mild disgrace, so pronounced has the vogue become, says Princess der Ling, who is here writing her memoirs as lady in waiting of the last Dowager Empress of China, and who is herself an ardent exponent of sensible—if pretty-—shoes. “The women pad their shoes out with wadding if their feet are too small to fill them,” said the princess. “They won't have feet that look small, be- cause they regard them as a symbol of the fetters that once bound Chinese women.” WOMEN TO CELEBRATE.
