LOS GATOS, Calf, Oct. 29.-The
artistic squall over whether Yehudi
Menuhin will join q musicians union
blew from all points of the compass
today, with the latest gust coming
from the typewriter Of the noted violin
lists father and secretary, Moshe
Menuhin.
The senior Menuhin said 1t was a
question Of conscientious objections on
the part of his son, and the defense
Of pure art"
He said Yehudi was all packed up
to go to Los Angeles to carry out his
contract for two concerts with the
Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra
November and 4.
S.. Contract in Peril.
In Los Angeles, Ted Carr, assistant
executive Of the American Guild of
Musical Artists. said he had contract
on his conscience, too-that unless
Yehudi joined the A. G. M. A., then
that organization could not live up to
the contract 1t made two years ago
with -the orchestra.
New York officials OF the guild add
ed their word by saying that Yehudi
had recently publicly announced his
spymathy with organized labor, but
he evidently feels that such state
ment Of sympathy is as far as he
wants to 60"
In Chicago, Lawrence Tibbett
operate baritone and president Of the
guild, said he believed Yehudi simply
didn't understand and offered TO call
him by long distance telephone to get
things put right"
Cites A. G. M. As History.
Moshe Menuhin stated:
"Yehudi Menuhin honestly feels and
believes land his observations and
conclusions are based on the past ugly
history Of A. G. M. AS playing dirty
politics with the famous or infamous
Dickstein bill in Congress to exclude
foreign artists, as we'll as A. G. M. A. s

CHURCH MERGER
HOPES ADVANCED
Platform Is Adopted Asking
Union of Presbyterian and
Protestant Episcopal.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Prospects fol
the eventual union Of the Protestant
Episcopal and Presbyterian Churche.
in the United States assumed .
brighter hue today as the result o1
the adoption Of a platform for the
merger by commissions representing
the two denominations.
As another step in the first ofiicial
efforts in q half century ut organic
unity, the commissions adopted a plat
form which with few minor changes
is that same as that approved by the
Church of Scotland (Presbyterian) and
the Church OF England (Episcopalian)
in uniflcation conferences from 1882
to 1894.
The commissions, which concluded q
tvo-day session yesterday, also ap-
proved concordat, supplementing the
general platform, as an instrument
for unificati1 of specific Episcopal
and Presbyterian congregations. 1t
struck a hopeful note In asserting that
the primary dif1culty lies in the diff
fering views Of the ministry. But
there is large agreement"
100000 Adherents Possible.
The platform and concordat will be
considered by the Presbyterian Gen
eral Assembly in Cleveland In May
and by the triennial convention of the
Episcopal Church in Kansas City in
1910. A church with 100000 men,
bers and 100000 adherents would
be created by the merger, members
OF the commission said
Efforts to unite the two churches
IN 1867 ended in failure and agita-
ton Just prior to the World War
never progressed beyond a preliminary
stage. The commissions were created
by the governing bodies of the two
churches during the past year.
The result was hailed by the Rev.
DR.. Charles w. WEIGH. Louisville, KY,
moderator of the Presbyterian Church
and a member of the church's COM
mission.
The commissions took q stronger
stand looking toward organic union
Of the two churches than ever has
been attained before in negotiation.
which have extended over great
many years." he commented.
Common Beliefs Cited.
The platform sets forth the common
beliefs and the things that might be
undertaken in common, including nlu-
tual admission to pulpitS as occasion
serves and adoption OF measures by
which communicates of either church
the other church.
In outlining the common beliefs OF
the two denominat tions, the concordat
said in part
Both churches believe the ministry
is part Of Gods will for His church.
Both believe that in ordination the
church is acting for God and that it
is He who ordains. Both believe that
the succession of the ministry Is q
continuing visible sign Of the contin-
uous life of the church, and that the
laying on of hands is the apostolic
method Of continuing that succession.
Both believe in episcopal ordination,
the one by bishop, the other by a
presbytery acting in its episcopal ca
pacity."
The Rt. Rev. E. L. Parsons, San
Francisco. Episcopal Bishop OF Cali
fornia. presided at the session. An
Executive Committee was set up 70 act
between formal meetings of the COM
missions. the next of which will be
held at Princeton some time around

If you are trying to remove spots

A piece of wool or a piece of old

still has good resistance in the rub
bling, leaving no lint. If you have
a piece of knitted goods try it in
your next cleaning.
