Federation's Social Econ

Pittsburgh Leader.
Ry the Associated Press.

COLUMBUS. Ohio. May "a pair
o. Methodist bishops crossed swords
today over conservative-libera ques-
tions within the church after the dis
pute which simmered all week on the
fringe of the Methodist Episcopal
General Conference exploded.
Bishop Adna w. Leonard of Pitts
burgh, demanding the destruction Of
Russian Communism in the United
States" branded planned social econ
omy as advocated by the Methodist
Federation for Social Service allen
and Goddess"
He was answered at a luncheon
meeting of the federation by Bishop
Francis j. Mcconnell of New York,
president of the Federation for Social
Service. who defended its right to
speak on social and economic matters.
Militancy Favored.
1--WE believe in militant organiza-
tion," Mcconnell declared. I'VE don't
care a hoot what the great church
groups say about us-if they deny us
the right to use the word Methodist,
we'll call ourselves something else"
Bishop Leonard, ardent foe of rad
icalism, startled the delegates at their
devotional session today with a de-
mand that the church take a definite
stand on the matter of Communism.
We cannot stop at the destruction
Of such evils as slavery, the liquor
traffic and gambling" he asserted.
1--WE must 60 straight through and
make it impossible for communism
to have any place under the Stars
and Stripes.
Those who are giving their in
f1uence for the introduction of a
planned economy on the basis of any
theory of brotherhood that represents
Godlessness even to- the point OF
God, are both un-Christian and
un-American."
Attack on Federation.
Leaders interpreted Mr.. Leonard's s
remarks as an attack on the fedora
ton, which has demanded that the
general church conference recommend
substitution of a planned social econ
omy for the profit system.
