NEW YORK, December IA report
finding that as a general rule urban
Protestant churches ride the tide"
being strong in a favorable neighbor-
hood, weak in an unfavorable, also
finds that there are enough exceptions
to indicate that the church Is not
merely product of its environment.
About one church in every eight Is
o variant" DR.. Roos w. Sanderson,
executive secretary of the Baltimore
Federation of Churches, reveals in a
report on THE Strategy Of City Church
Planning" made public yesterday by the
Institute of Social and Religious Re-
search.
Variant churches actually demon
strste that environmental influence Is
not the last word" he says. Good en-
vironment produces strength only in
churches capable of capitaliZing 1t;

100 Lag Behind.
Out of 1000 churches studied In 16
Of the larger cities, DR.. Sanderson found
that 100 were sub b-modal'-that they
Jagged behind in the midst of favor
able social change in their territory
and that lat were "super-modal that
they made outstanding progress in the
midst of unfayo-able social change.
Dr.. Sanderson declares a number Of
measurable factors are responsible for
the failure of some Churches to follow
the general trend.
"Adaptability is at once the crux OF
the matter for the exceptional church,
and at the same time the element most
within its control" he asserts. 1T
should he chief center OF effort in the
strategy of city church planning. On
a number of counts, sub-modal churches
convict themselves by the testimony Of
their pastors of serious lack OF
adaptability.
modal churches show exceptional gen.
eral ability in the sense of being able
to adjust themselves to the changing
needs of their environments. Some
churches have been able to anticipate
and capitalize noteworthy recent changes
in the social development and group at
titudes of their constituencies.

exceptional quality which most largely
explains sub-modality or super-rno-
dality," declares the report.
Lack Of financial resources is asserted
10 be an important phase Of sub-rlo-
dality, although "far less determinative
than might be supposed" The study
found that unsuccessful churches cost
the members practically as much and in
some instances more than better
churches
Competition plays an important role
in the creation Of variants. Many sub
medal churches are unable to meet it,
while the super-modal meet 1t so sue
oesstully that for them 1t ceases to
exist or serves as a stimulus"
The study also found that sub-n1odal
churches report the handicap OF inter-
nal dissension three times as often as
do super-modal.

where an administrative furlough Is for

a department head is required to take
In the case Of an outright dismissal.
Several members o: the committee
made it clear, however, that they have
serious doubts as to the wisdom of leav-
ing department heads with authority to
order administrative furloughs. believ-
ing that it might result in some en-
ployes being furloughed while others
would suffer no reduction.
AT the request of Senator McKellar,
officials of the Civil Service Commits

mlnistrative furloughs that have been

There was considerable discussion
over whether the married persons clause

With respect to the Treasury-Po
Office bill in the House, the special rule
passed yesterday shut off all points Of
order but did not prohibit the offering
OF amendments. and several members
are preparing to offer these.
Representative La Guardia. Republic
an. of New York. who has been leading
the fight for restoring their full salary
to the Government workers. will seek
to knock out section S. which, he con-
tinued. makes a double furlough pos
sible by permitting the budget director
to modify the appropriation bill by re-
ductiOns superimposed on the compul-
sorry furlough without pay.
This is q very dangerous precedent
to establish La Guardia pointed out.
The whole pay cut program is cruel,
heartless and nonsensical.
1T is predicated on the false hope
Of balancing the budget. but the loss
will be more than the gain. Condi-
tions are getting worse and Congress
is contributing to the falling OF In
business and industry by setting an ex-
and put more people out Of work. There
are folks now on the Government pay
roll at ST and So a week who have 8 l-3
per cent OF that pitllully small salary
deducted.
There is hardly any one on the
Government pay roll who is not now
supporting several others who are out
of work. Slashing Government salaries
will take . bare living, and charity
from many of the most needy people
everywhere throughout the country"
The section in the bill which La
Guardia seeks to have eliminated, on
the ground that 1t would permit a
further cut in addition to the furlough
is as follows:
Section s. Each permanent specific
appropriation available during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1884. IS hereby
reduced for that fiscal year by such
estimated amount as the director OF

The French Deputies. of course, had
no Be- worI,sd ns1ed aOGus fne aame surm

members of the French Parliament
thoueht otherwise. They went on the
assumption that the opinions expressed
BY a number of Congressman actually
represented the feeling Of both Houses
and, acting under the impression that
France would be selected to pay Tor
broken pots, decided to burn their
bridges and default for the first time
in the history Of that country.
U. S. Puzzled on Procedure.
What win and what can the American
Government do now that France has
decided to default? Everybody in the
State Department is puzzled about It,
A high official stated some time ago
that in matters of international debts
there IS no sheriff to be sent to collect
them. The sheriffs, in international al
fairs, are represented by the Army and
Navy, and it is beyond the conception
of any one that they will be used in
such case.
In congressional quarters there Is a
good deal Of talk about retaliation
ranging from the suggestion that the
American Ambassador at Paris should
be recalled forthwith to putting into
effect retallatory provision of the tariff
bill In other quarters it is suggested
that in the event Of Congress adopting
measure permitting the selling Of
beer and light wines the French wines
should be barred from this country alto
gether. even if the wines of other
countries were permitted to enter this
country
All these various suggestions are dis
counted in administration quarters as
being useless and as it is up to the
President to decide upon the recall Of
the Ambassador or the enforcement Of
the article 323 of the tariff act, it is
considered as most unlikely that he
would permit such measures to be
taken.
