''In general, fundamentalism reveals

usually shows a thinking. straight, deep
and schola rly," Dr. George S. Duncan OF
the American University declared in an
address yesterday before the Presby-
terian Minister'S Association at the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church. The
verdict OF the ripest scholarship" he
emphasized, lis overwhelmingly in ia
vor Of a safe and sane modernism"
Continuing, DR.. Duncan said: ''The
strife between fundamentalist and
modernist is simply the age-long issue
between conservative and progressive.
Fundamentalists cling to positions of
the past, while modernists modify
these in the light of advancing knowl-
edge. There main questions are in dis
pute-evolution, the Bible and the in
carnation.
Attack Declared Futile.
"The attack of the fundamentalists
on evolution is futile, as all the fore
most scientific men of the country
regard il as & fact. The Associa ton
for the Advancement of Science, with
10000 members in 1922. declared
without i dissenting voice: NO sell

 Fisht Certain.
 A fight on the floor when the question of amending rules auto matically comes up Monday was as- sured In the face of these develop ments by the attitude of Represen- and Chairman Shell of the rules com mittee, both of whom declared they would make no compromiss. Mir. Longworth said that it would be better if the proposed rules changes provided that . majority of the House members should sign a petition before a motion to discharge a committee was permissible. The proposed minimum of 150, he added, was a concession below which 1t would be unwise to go. if the ma jority was to have control of 1egfs- lation and blocs were not to be al- lowed to obstruct its program MT Shell, whose committee prepared the changes which will come to a vote Monday, voiced similar opinions Mir. Garrett said that the demo- crats have not agreed what minimum for petitions would be sought. The figures, he added. might range from Want Underwood Rule Repealsa.
 The Underwood rule, which both tho democrats and insurgents want repealed, applies to tariff and reve nue bills. It restricts amendments

 The way has been cleared for un- limited debate on the entire Ques- ton, leaders having agreed to defer action on all legislation until it Is disposed of.

 Plan To Amend On Num- z Der Of Regulations
WASHINGTON. Han.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 12-House democrats and republican insurgents are primed for a double-barrelled at- tack Monday on the program of or ganisation republicans for the amend ment- of House rules.
 Representative Garrett, the demo- cratic leader, announced today that the minority's attack would be cen- tered on the refusal of the republi- cans to revoke the so-called Under wood rule and their insistenoe that discharge of committees from juris- diction over legislation shall be pos sible only on petition of at least 15o representatives.
 At morning and afternoon confer ences the insurgent bloc discussed its plans, agreed to give aid to the democrats in their fight, and decided to press further for Liberalization of rules. During the day Represen- tative Nelson of Wisconsin, leader of
