Explains Schism Between Parishioners and Bishop
 Bochachewsky

Rev. Peter J. Pashkiewich of Clifton. N. J. and Newburgh. N. Y. is the new pastor of the Independ- ent Ckrainian Greek Catholic church of St. Mary's of the 1mmacu- late Conception on Winter street. coming here to replace Rev. Basil Hrivnak. who left last Thursday following a friction between him and the parishioners.
 Father Pashkiewich is an inde- pendent priest, having severed re- lations with the head of the Greek Catholic church some time ago. He was born in Pennsylvania and re- ceived his theological training in New Jersey and Europe. He is s4 years old and saw service in the World war with the 42nd Division, as clerical adviser at the regtmental headquarters. and spent IF months of his service In France.
 The new pastor of the independent church comes here well prepared and advised as to the administration of the church. having served similar parishes in Clifton and Newburgh for the past year. He has also done missionary work among the Ukrain- ians in Newark. N. J.. and Provi- dence. R. l. His break with the head of the church in this country was prompted by the same activities and causes as in the cases of many other priests and parishes of this de- nomination in America. and after severing relations. Father Pashkie- wich became member of the Ukrainian Orthodox church but for a short period.
 When asked today by a Herald reporter what were the immediate causes of the widespread friction between the priests and the mem- bers of the denomination, and Bishop Bochachewsky. the head of the church in America. Father Pash- kiewich explained that since the bishops arrival in this country in 1924, he failed to give any attention to his people and their troubles. The troubles he explained. date back to the postwar years. when in

 "A consultation has taken place in order to make a comprehensive sur vey of His Majesty's present pro- gross and to discuss the lines along which treatment in the immediate future had best proceed.

 'The future course of the illness must from its nature be slow and not without difficulties. but we are happy to state that the kings progress Is now established on a firmer basis.
