ADVOCATE MERGING OF TWO CHURCHES Congregation and Christian De- nominations Are Urged to Join Together by Commission. New York, Dec. 21 (UP)—Merg- ing of the Congregational church and the Christian church is forecast in recommendations of a joint com- mittee appointed by the commission of interchurch relations of the Na- tional Council of Congregational Churches and by the commission on Christian unity of the General Con- vention of the Christian Church. A united national denominational organization, the General Council of the Congregational - Christian Churches, is proposed to be formed in October, 1929. The recommendations were made public by Rev. Dr. Frank K. San- ders of Rockfort, Mass, and the Rev. Dr. Frank G. Coffin of Colum- bus, O., chairmen of the commis- sion. “The plan of this union” the clergymen said, “is based upon the broad, sane principles that every denomination should be free to pre- serve the things which it holds so- cially sacred and the ways to which it is peculiarly accustomed and yet should yleld sovereignty in the mat- ters which are actually of common interest to the whole Church of Christ. Upon this platform a very large number of denominations might easily be united and such & union might proeperly be called the United Church of Christ in Amer- PLOTTERS HELD Constantinople, Dec. 81 (M — Twenty alleged plotters charged with arranging the escape of prisoners have been argested at Broussa.

Y0ODOOISM BLAMED FOR CLEVELAND MURDER Detective Perplexed Can Only Assign Grucsome Crime to Strange Rites, Cleveland, Dec. 21 (A — Perplexed by both the identity of the victim and the motive for his slaying, de- tectives today believed some rite of voodooism would explain the killing and beheading of a man whose body was found in a basement here yes- terday. Instcad of seeking the identity of the killer, detectives had to reverse the usual order of crime mysteries and trace the identity of the slain man. They had under arrest Doss Wade, 37, negro, and an alleged ‘*‘voodoo healer,” who told them he killed the man, but they were unable to learn who the victim was. ‘Wade was arrested late yester- day shortly after the body of a de- capitated. 1pan was found in_the basement of the same house where Wade lived. Wade tried to flee de- tectives, but was brought down with & bullet in each leg. He told detectives he had beaten Nemo Gibbs to death with a gas pipe, robbed him of his weekly pay check of $35 and a watch, and then carried the body to the basement and severed the head, which ke hid in a cupboard. Gibbs, however, walked into the police station a short time later “very much alive.” Then the *doc- tor” thought his victim might be Gibbs' brother, William Gibbs, 25, but he too was found unharmed. Detectives said Wade then refused any further information and they admitted themselves baffled. They would assign no reason for the de- capitation other than some voodoo rite. Wade, 1t was learned, had served time in the Indiana state peniten- tiary for larceny. FOUR KILLED Hartford, Ont., Dec. 21 (P—An- drew B.

Now 62 years old, he intends to retire to his 1,000 acre farm at New Paltz, up.state, and live there plant- ing trees. He will not be idle for he says “I never rest.” ‘Thirty-three years ago Oscar bought the farm on the Wallkill river. “It's just like Switzerland,” | Oscar says; and that means just | like homs, because Oscar was born | in Bwitzerland, so Oscar s going home. ‘“People all over the United States and Europe and South America,” Oscar mourns, “are going to have sore spot in their hearts and perhaps | a lump in thelr throats when they hear the Waldorf-Astoria has been sold. Naturally I feel sad about it. New York—well, New York just| won’t be the same without it. I feel sorry for Fifth avenue.” But there are Oscar's tools—he is great on making things. There are Oscar's blue spruces—he has planted more than a thousand trees with his own hand. And the farm is a little bit of old Bwitzerland. Oscar was a member of the Wald- orf staff when William W.

Later he received in the consis- hall Milanese pilgrims headed rdinal Archbishop Tosi.
