National Constitutional Con- vention Starts Work On
 Plan Of M. M. Jones

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 20.-The na- l tional constitutional convention of
 the Y. M. c. A. went to work today ! upon a plan of reorganization sug- gested by Mark M. Jones, economist and efficiency expert of New York who was employed a year and a half ago by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to
 make a study of the association's ac- 1 tivities.
 A committee brought in an en- abling act embodying MT. Jones ideas, which was referred to another committee of 50.
 able report and, if it Is adopted by the convention, the Jones plan will be referred back to the 2,000 local associations for referendum. The Jones plan for one general agency and one budget, makes local | associations responsible for iinanc- l ing and aims to bring about demo- cratic control of the association. Opinions of delegates on the Jones plan will be in competition with
 about dozen others.
 Backs ~" Work.
 Mir. Jones declared today that his criticism of the Y. M. C. A. was d. rected toward duplication of services and overlapping of activities. Any interpretation of my ac- counts and suggestions which would indicate that l do not believe the Y. M. c. A. is performing great public service, a necessary service, in the interests of the young men and boys of America and foreign lands would be contrary to my conVic- tions,' he said.
 Clarence Phelps Dodge, Denver Colo, a delegate to the convention, said, in an interview that the Y. M. c. A. should assist the church to take over the "Y" activities wherever the
 church shows inclination to do so,
 There should be no jealousy be- tween the church and the 'Y,' MT. Dodge said The association was organized to care for certain needs the church was not meeting While today the church, through it's de- partmental branches, is assuming tasks heretofore regarded as entire | ly Y M C. A. york;
