Christians Face
Di!emnu'- BISHOP

LOS ANGELES, March 20. UP)
American Christians are facing a
dilemma in the present world con-
flict, Bishop Ivan Lee Holt, of Dal-
las, Tex, told members of the Ma
tional Christian Mission meeting
here.
Bishop Holt is one of the more
than 600 Protestant ministers at
tending the eight day conclave
which began last Sunday.
The Christian In America faces
q real dilemma today" Bishop Holt
said. "On one hand he may find
himself convinced that Britain
should be supported in order to
save civilization and be led to en-
dorsement of war. Or he may believe
the Nazis will triumph and come to
the conclusion that the only thing
a man can do is compromise with
his ideals so he may live comfort :.
ably in a Nazi- dominated world"
Regardless of how he feels
Bishop Holt continued, the true
Christian should show in his own
life a willingness to shoulder the
blame for the sin of war and should
reveal in the carrying of his cross,
a gratitude for Gods redeeming
love"
The Rev. Karl Morgan Block Of
San Francisco, told a minister's

Bradley Under Fire
 In Party Upheaval
Minor Court Patronage Only One of Several Instances of Dissatisfaction: State Committee Meets June g

Chairman J. Kenneth Bradley has called q meeting of the Republican state central committee for Monday, June a. The session will afford an opportunity to attempt rebuilding of the c. o. P. lines which were shattered during the closing weeks of the General Assembly when Re- publican members of the House bolted their leadership.
 In connection with the meeting, a luncheon session of the Connecti- cut Council of Republican Women has been called by Miss Katherine Byrnes, vice chairman of the state central committee.
 Criticism of Chairman Bradley from within the Republican ranks, heard at Hartford while the assem- bly, was in session, has continued. There Is considerable d1sSatisfac- ton in the rank-and- file in many cities and towns about the state over the distribution of minor court pa- tronage.
 The revolt of c. o. P. legislators at Hartford was led by the bloc from Litchfield county, which Is the largest single county representa- ton that the Republicans have in the legislature. There may be far reaching repercuSSions if this group, led by Rep. Chauncey Hutchings of Harwinton and Rep. Walter Howe of Litchfield, continues its rebel- lion against the party leadership.
