College. chairman of the State Tex

union representatives to stand up
and tell what the board has done"
brought only one favorable response
at meeting today and provoked a

Amid a mutter of voices, delegate
after delegate arose to hurl questions
at the youthful professor.
An outburst of applause punctuated
each allegation that the board had not

to explain his side of conditions which
caused delegates at a previous union

resignation.

DISPUTE IS SEEN
AT CHURCH HPARLEY
Presbyterians Expect Re.
newaI of Modernism.Fun-
damentaIism Debate.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, May ia fresh out
break of the stormy controversy over
modernism and fundamentalism in re-
ligion Is threatened, many Presby-
terian clergymen believe, during the
church's General Assembly which
opens here Thursday.
Long a subject of fiery arguments
between the two groups, the issue
reached a new peak of intensity only
a few months ago when one band Of
fundamentalists led by DR.. j. G.
Machen of Philadelphia, severed itself
from the main branch Of the church
and organized itself on an independ-
ent basis.
One of those admitting the mod
ernist-fundamentalist issue may crop
out again in this years assembly Is
Rev. A. p. Higley of Cleveland, chair
man of the Committee on Arrange
ments. DR.. Machen also predicts a
revival of the conflict.
While the extreme fundamentalist,
and modernist groups within the
church are distinctly minorities, both
will have delegates.
Buck Case May Be Revived.
One of the principal incidents such
action might revive is the case of
Pearl S. Buck, whose book, 1.-The Good
Earth" stirred last years assembly.
Objecting to certain passages in the
volume, fundamentalists at that time
accused Mrs. Buck, a missionary, of
heresy, but the charge was not pressed
when she resigned her Office. The
fundamentalists have not forgotten,
however, that her resignation was ac-
cepted by the Board Of Missions with
regret"
While fundamentalists in the church
may renew their criticisms of the Mis-
sions Board, and modernists defend its
action in the case of Mrs. Buck, the
Machen group of independents appar-
emily is no longer concerned-al-
though the Buck case was one of sew
eral prime factors leading to the
schiSm.
OHiOH 10 De DlScuSSeu.
A much happier subject for the
General Assembly's consideration here
will be a recommendation of the
church's department of church Coop
Grafton and union, for immediate ac-
ton on proposal for union with the
Presbyterian Church of North Amer
lea with an estimated 175.0O0 mem
bers- The Presbyterian Church of the
U. S. A.. estimated its own members
at nearly 100000.
The proposal to be recommended to
the assembly calls for submission of
the merger plan to the presbyteries
which comprise the church's district
governments, provided the plan Is
similarly presented to the presbyteries
of the other denomination. Approval
of the proposal by two-thirds of the
presbyteries and by the following Gen.
eral Assembly would make the de-
cision binding on the church.
