PRINCIPLES OF NEW
CHURCH EXPLAINED
Rev. L. W. Slcat Discusses Plans
for Presbyterian Congre.
CATION Here,

The fundamentals principles, upon
which a recently formed group from
the Presbyterian Church hopes to
found an independent church here,
were presented yesterday by Rev
Leslie w. Sloat, sent here to estab-
lish the institution, before a group
of about 20 at the Bible Institute of
Washington, 1916 Vermont avenue.
The break, which resulted prin-
cipally from difference in opinion
among certain church leaders over
the church's foreign missionary pol
icy. was widened when the Philadel-
phia Presbytery ordered eight clergy
men to renounce their affiliation with
the Independent Board of Foreign
Missions. unit independent of any
ecclesiastical control established
for the purpose of promoting truly
biblical and truly Presbyterian for
eign missions"
The Presbyterian Church of Amer
lea, Rev. Mr.. Sloat said, is to be the
name of the new organization. 1t
was founded in Philadelphia June IL,
and now, he stated, is being organ
lied in us or 20 Eastern cities"
In his talk yesterday Rev. Mr.. Sloat
tacitly decried the church's trend
toward modernism" especially in
the foreign missions field. He en-
phasized as the prime tenets of re-
ligion q literal translation Of the
Bible and "ttle word Of God over the
word Of man."
Rev. Mr.. Sloat will lead services
at the Bible Institute again next
Sunday at 10:30 a. m. and at 1880
pm. The services will continue, he
said, "as long as interest warrants"
No definite program of organization
will be attempted until early in Au-
guest, he said, adding that attempts
for organization will also depend en-
tirely on the interest manifested.
Rev. Mr.. Sloat said he was for
merly pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church of the United States Of Amer
lea at Ridgebury. N. Y.

RIA. MAY Be GIVEN
|'QUODDYBARRACKS
Construction Camp Use for
I. Veterans Hospital Also
Considered.
By the Associated Press.

By the Ass0ciated Press.
Plans to abandon. at least Temporal
rily, the Passanaquoddy Bay tidal
project In Maine and convert the con-
struction camp there into a veterans
hospital or Resettlement Administra-
ton project have been disclosed in au-
thoritative quarters.
With money to continue the tide
harnessing project refused by Con-
gress, President Roosevelt was said to
plan a definite decision this month on
what to do with the model village
built to house the Passamaquoddy
workers.
5000 Once at Work.
At one time the 1000, 900 work re-
lief allotment to start the huge project
had 5000 men at work. Army engi-
neers spent hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars in constructing permanent
homes and barracks, but they are now
almost deserted.
The 100000 additional requested
for Passamaquoddy was refused by
Congress at the same time that it re-
jected regular appropriation for the
Florida ship canal. No allotment from
the $l.425 100000 new relief appro-
priation is expected because of a pro-
vision forbidding any expenditures or
projects which cannot be finished en-
tirely with funds on hand.
The construction camp, located
near Eastport, Me, was said by Off
cials to be ideal for either a. veterans
hospital or a suburban community
similar to those now being built by
the Resettlement Administration.
Although tentative plans for its
utilization were said to have been
worked out by both Resettlement and
the Veterans Administrations, Off
cials hinted there was a possibility
it mightsbe used for still some other
Government activity.
Two Reservoirs Planned.
Plans to generate electrical power
from the high tides prevalent on that
section of the Maine coast were pre-
pdItu Oy oeALST r SOOpST, WHO SUD-
sequently was retained as a consulting
engineer on the project. Two huge
reservoirs were planned to impound
the water at high tide, which was to
be released gradually until the ebb.
An unexpected difficulty, however,
arose when engineers discovered that
geological conditions made it impos-
sible to construct the supplementary
reservoir intended to provide a flow
of water at ebb tide Their recon-
mendation that a standby steam or
Diesel generating plant be built drew
from Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan, who led the attack on
the proposed appropriation in the con-
gressional session just closed, the
assertion that it would have been
cheaper to eliminate the tidal gen.
Grafton plans entirely.
Lack of a market for the power,
which friends of the project said
would be provided by new industries.
also was asserted by Vandenberg in
his attacks.

PARIS, July 6.-Street nights be-
tween rioting Nationalist and police
left almost 100 persons injured today.
The disorders climsxed a memorial
ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier yesterday led by Col. Francois
de la Rocque. chief Of the dissolved
croix de Feu League transformed into
the new Social political party.
Rishtists, estimated at $4,000,
crowded the area about the Arch Of
Triumph and cheered De la Rocque as
he placed a wreath on the tumb. After
the ceremony. the Nationalist leader
went home but his followers began
their daily demonstration against the
popular front government Of Premier
Leon Blum.
The riots raised fears in Socialist
quarters, the Nationalists were PLAN
ming further disorders to coincide
with the Leftist celebration of Bastille
day, July II.
Newspapers, including Blum's LIE
Populaire, found similarity between
the daily demonstrations over dis
solution of the Rightist Leagues and
those preceding the bloody riots Of
February 6. 1884.
LIE Populaire called the demonstra-
tions training maneuvers" and asked
il "Fascists are not preparing for
trouble July IA"
Seeking to break through the steel
helmeted line Of mobile guards, the
demonstrators attacked the ranks in
the Champs Elysees. The guard line
held, then began to move slowly
toward the rioters, whose forces scat
tered in disorder.
Cafes and shops were hastily closed
by their owners, but hundreds of the
Rightists took refuge in the establish
ments before the doors were shut.
They hurled chairs. canes and bottles
at the pursuing police.
Sixteen Nationalists were arrested
in clashes between small groups. A
police statement declared 81 officers
were injured.
Blum sent his personal secretary to
visit one Of the more seriously wounded
policemen.
The demonstration in Paris fol-
lowed similar incidents in scattered
sections. One person was injured at
Douai. Fighting broke out after
veterans meeting at Mines.
Gunplay featured clash at Aiken
Provence, in which eight persons were
wounded.
Blum called for political factions tc
bury the hatchet in a speech at An
necy, in which he warned his audience
Of the troubled European situation.
ITO keep our friendships and al
liances and to play peacemaker in
drifting Europe" he said, France,
more than ever, needs order and dis
cipline within; prestige and authority
without"
Other officials, among them Roger
Salengro, minister Of the interior, and
Raoul Aubaud, undersecretary to Sal
engro, warned against domestic dis
order.

ton continued to decline slowly, Salem
