By the Assoclated Press. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, May 7— Despite warnings that it was sacrificing “forever” the long-sought reunion with the Methodist Church South, the Gen- eral Conference of the Methodist Epis- copal Church enthusiastically declared for strict ractal equality today. The resolution, adopted with a dem- onstration that overrode a sprinkling of opposition, directed that the quad- | rennial conference was never to meet in a city where the color line was drawn against delegates in hotels, rm(nur-nu‘ \ and public places. Dr. Ernest F. Tittle of Evanston, I, a noted Methodist liberal. brought the resolution to the floor of the conference with & strong appeal that Methodism take its place with the Federal Council of Churches and the Congregation Chris- tian Church in opposing racial dis- crimination in conference cities. Sounds Strong Appeal. “I believe there are cities which would be glad to entertain us under these conditions,” he said. “If there are not, it would be much better for us not to meet at all, and if we do not meet for this reason, we will be doing the cause of racial equality more good than we could by meeting.” At the same session of the confer- ence the body's first official message to Methodism was given out. It called upon the denomination to raise $1,000,- 000 to save the world service program of the church from threatened finan- cial jeopardy. Deets Pickett, research secretary of the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals, branded as “absolutely false and cowardly” the charge of Representative Tinkham that | he (Pickett) committed perjury before the Senate Lobby Committee. The conference heard what was termed “almost a demand” of the laity of the church for a reduction in the “overhead expenses” of Methodism, to be effected by the elimination of some existing bishoprics. When the color line resolution was passed, the immediate reaction of many was that it had destroyed all possibility of healing the breach existing between Northern and Southern Methodism since they divided on the slavery ques- tion 88 years ago. Foresee Colored Split. Later, however, delegates were ex- pressing the opinion the step might lead eventually to tpe formation of a central conference of the colored Meth- odists in America, distinct from the general conference. Thus far some colored members in the general conference have opposed it. A prominent colored delegate said: “My race has been done an injustice. This will give the South the idea we are seeking social equality. This is not true.” Pickett was applauded in committee for his answer to Tinkham's charge that a few hours after he had denied to an Investigating Committee that any of the files of the Temperance Board had been removed, “11 suspicious pack- ages from the office of the beard were removed to Baltimore.” Pickett said he “seriously doubted” that Tinkham had any photostatic copies of way bills for the packages. adding that if any shipments were made at the time “I state now and positively that they contained no records.” A resolution calling for the elimina- tion of Episcopal areas to Teduce over- head was referred to a committee for study. The districts considered most likely to be affected if the resolution is ap- proved are: Helena, Mont.; Covington, Ky.: Atlanta, Ga.; Paris, France, and Chattanooga, Tenn. DENIES DISCRIMINATION.
