New York, Feb. 22.-The Rev. DR..
Harry Emerson Fosdick, whose
services as special preacher of the
First Presbyterian church end on
March 1 by order of the New. York
Presbytery, declared today in his
farewell sermon that a new religious
reformation was on its way which
might possibly have to "split away
from the evar~elical churches, as the
Lutheran reformation had to split
from the old church"
DR.. Fosdick, who as Baptist
minister holding a Presbyterian pull
pit was the subject of much contro-
Versy in the dispute between the
and modernists.
said in his sermon today that multi
tudes of Christians "have not the
religion of Jesus but only the re
ligion about Jesus" and that the
religion about Jesus tends to crowd
out, smother and destroy the religion
of Jesus"
christianity today has largely
left the religions which he preached,
taught and lived, and has substituted
another kind of religion altogether

Washington, Feb. 22-Abrupt ter
Of aviation possibilities and the
controverted questions raised by
Brigadier General Mitchell, assistant
chief of the army air service, caused
interest to switch today from the
Capitol to the war department and
focused it largely on Secretary
Weeks.
The war secretary is faced with
decision investigating either the
re-appointment of General Mitchell
to his present office or his release
from it March 6 when his present ap-
pointment expires. Those closest to
Mr.. Weeks predict the selection of
another officer to be assistant chief
of the air service. but no suggestion
as to what he will do has come from
the secretary himself. 1t had been
the announced intention of the Sec
retary to wait until the investigating
committee concluded it's programN of
hearings before he determined upon
a selection for the post.
1t was pointed out, however, that
Mr.. Weeks decision would not be
the committee members might sub
NIT as result of their inquiry. In
| this connection, it was said the war
secretary would formulate his plans
in way that would lead to selection
Of an assistant chief to Major Cen
eral Patrick in precisely the same
| manner he would have chosen one
| had there never been any investiga-
| ton.
There is little possibility of any i'm
| mediate announcement by Mr..
| Weeks.
Among the statements Secretary
| Weeks has asked General Mitchell
to explain in writing have been as
sertions that junior army and navy
officers were 'muzzled" against tell
ing the truth" to congressional COM
mittees and that the navy was pre-
pared for defeat in the Atlantic and
Pacific because of lack of air power.
After the admission by the general
| that he had received a confidential
communication" from the war sec
retary asking about these and other
statements, other phases of the COM
mittee'S investigation were quickly
overshadowed by the controversy
that developed over the nations air
| defense.

washington, Feb. 22.-Farm relief,
Muscle Shoals, postal pay and rate in
creases, and legislation Of lesser i'm
portance are hanging in the balance as
Congress finds itself with just eight
and one-half working days left in this
session.
Demands that unanimous consent be
cleared. coupled with more or less
Widespread opposition to night ses-
siona, serve to complicate the legisla-
tive situation in both the House and
Senate.
Aside from the annual appropriation
bills. which are nearly all out of the
way. leaders are dubious as to just
what else is going to get through by
noon March 4. They have their course
charted. but they realize there can be
80 many upsets that predictions are
scarcely good for even day.
After a single days consideration
in the House the Haughen cooperative
marketing bill has been laid aside un-
til Wednesday. A companion measure
has been favorably reported to the
Senate but no time has been fixed for
will seek to have it placed at the top
steering committee.
The Senate will vote tomorrow on
the appeal from the ruling Of the
chair that the confereeS exceeded their
authority by inserting new matter in
the Muscle Shoals leasing bill. If the
chair is sustained, as some leaders
on both sides expect 1t will be, this
measure must go back to conference.
Even should the bill be kept before
the Senate by a vote. it probably would
be some days before a final vote was
had and several more before the new
bill could be made ready for the pres
ident's consideration.
Having failed to accomplish any
thing at their first meeting last week,
conferees on the postal pay and rate
raise bill will try to get together
again early this week. Second class
and parcel post are the chief items in
dispute.
The House tomorrow will devote it.
self to District Of Columbia legisla-
ton: Tuesday it will take up. with n
view to action during the day. the final
deficiency bill; and Wednesday farm
relief will get further consideration.
houSo leaders also nope 10 get tne
" a W ort h-Garrett constitutional
amendment resolution out of the way
before the end of the week and to
clear the unanimous consent and pri-
vate calendars Of a mass Of bills. Sew
eral night sessions probably will be
held. but the legislative grind must be
halted Friday and Saturday nights to
permit Republicans and Democrats to
hold organization conferences.
Republicans of the Senate also plan
to hold organization meeteings some
time this week to perfect their slate of
offices for the Senate to be presented
after the special session begins March
4. Efforts on their part to remove
Senator LaFollette Of Wisconsin, and
three insurgent followers. from their
present committee rank is expected to
precipitate a fight.
