CLEVELAND, Oct. 12.-The Saith
triennial general convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church. which
closed here yesterday, laid down
substantial programs for advance
in church work at home and abroad
during these war years, but left sew
eral of the most controversial issues
hanging in the air for future study,
progress and decision.
Outstanding among problems with
which the House of Deputies and
House of Bishops left unsolved
were: Proposed unity with the Pres
byterian Church, proposed liberal
ization of the canon on matrimOny,
and-of most local concern to the
National Capitalize question of
where the presiding bishop of the
church should have see.
This last issue promises to be full
of lively possibilities for Washing
ton. Although the convention re-
fused to establish the presiding
bishop with a residence" in the
District of Columbia as recon-
mended by the Joint Committee on
the Presiding Bishops See, a move
already is under way to offer him
informally the use of Offices and liV-
ing quarters on the Cathedral close,
Mount St. Alban, in Washington.
Opposition Is Vocal.
The same forces of opposition
which prevented establishment of
the presiding bishops residence at
Washington were vocal in corridors
and hotel lobbieS up to the end of
the convention. But, despite this,
the Washington delegation became
more hopeful. In the first place it is
believed the new appointments to
the Joint Committee on the PreSid-
ing Bishops See by the presiding
bishop and by the president of the
House of Deputies are satisfactory
to the Washington group. The ap-
pOintment of Bishop Noble G. Powell
of Maryland was welcomed, as he
was former dean of the Washington
Cathedral, is still member of the
Cathedral chapter and has volun-
teered to take the next step for
ward in the matter at the forth
coming meeting Friday of the Ca
thedral chapter. Also a growing
sentiment in favor Of Washington as
place for the presiding bishop was
reported by Washington deputies.
The presiding bishop, the Right
Rev. Henry ST. George Tucker, who
resigned his Diocesan Bishopric of
Virginia to devote his full time to
his high Office (Which he has held
for three years. is we'll known in
Washington. Associates feel he
would accept an informal invitation
of the Cathedral chapter to make
himself at home on the Cathedral
close. There are accommodations
available at the College of Preach

With Controversial Issues in Air

ers. For him to go there. it is
pointed out, would be in no sense a
violation of the conventions new
directions to the Joint committee
to continue to search for a pre-
siding bishops see. The joint COM
mittee will hold a conference with
Bishop Tucker at his New York
Office on Wednesday, November "a,
on the matter.
Difference of Opinion.
There still seems to be some diff
ference of opinion on the question
of whether the presiding bishop of
the church in the United States
needs geographical jurisdiction
such as see of his own to entitle
him to a seat in the Lambeth Con-
ference, that gathering in London
of bishops from Anglican churches
all over the world, and from the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the
United States. A letter from the
Archbishop of Canterbury read to
the House of Bishops expressed his
personal opinion that no geograph-
i'oi ON mhfp iItCCcOdlN III lllC CdNc.
But the convention asked for Off
cial advices from the Lambeth Con-
ference consultative authorities on
the point.
Marriage Canon STAYS.
The attack by the liberals on the
marriage canon, which provided the
most vigorously contested issue of
the convention finally resulted in no
change at all in the present canon.
Episcopalians still may be remar-
rled under this canon only if they
are the innocent parties in divorce
cases for adultery. The issue came
up III a slight furry again yesterday
when the House Of Bishops sent a
message to the deputies indicating
they thought the deputies should
have considered the original report
of the Joint Commission on Holy
Matrlmony, instead of an amended
report. But the deputies did Moth
ing about the message.
The convention recognizes need
for greater missionary activity in
the present world crisis. when the
deputies yesterday concurred with
the bishops on an enlarged budget
of $2,6l5 1882 for 1914.
Three motions introduced by Ogle
Ridout Singleton of Washington,
secretary Of the deputies Commit
tee on Missions, were approved by
both houses. They provided for

Applauding that course, Senator

People generally are sympathetic
with the objective of holding down

some of the OPA regulations are
driving them mad.
Some of the regulations are so
voluminous and so restrictive that
it is almost impossible to operate

Laval Gives Guards
Shoot Sight Order
To Curb Sabotage
By the ASSncinted Press

1S liit HSSOSlltSu TIeSS.
LONDON, Oct. 12.-The rising
tide of sabotage in France has
driven the Germans and their Vichy
collaborators to the sternest repres-
sive measures, including new at
tacks on Jews and a decree giving
mobile guards the permission to
shoot on sight.
The situation which the Vichy
government is struggling to control
was bluntly described by Jacques
Barteaud over the Paris radio and
recorded in London by Reuters.
Barteaud said the ''harvests are
burning, railway lines are being
blown sky-high and trains are de-
rallied"
Everywhere French National So
cialists are falling under tommy
gun bullets, while the army of ter
roriSts is moving about freely almost
under the protection of the robes of
judges who are only too ready too
acquit criminals" he added.
Pierre Laval, chief Of government,
the Vichy radio disclosed, is at
tempting to discourage the patriots
by giving the mobile guards permis-
sion to use their arms whenever they
consider it ceSsary-authority al
ready vested in the gendarmarie.
Radio France in AlgierS, in a broad
cast heard by the Associated Press,
said that persons reported assisting
Allied airmen shot down in France
now risk the death penalty.
News of the blow at the Jews
came from Darquier de Pellepoix,
commissioner for Jewish questions,
who was quoted by DNB over the
Paris radio in a broadcast heard by
the Associated Press as urging the
eXpatriation, and economic and So
cial elimination of Jews as a fun
damental policy.

Milton Bledsoe I'M the call

The fight of the Negro for full
Indignation into American citizenry
goes on unabated. Despite the
brakes that reactionary forces have
tried to apply to the advancing
militancy of black people there has
been no lul in the Negroes fight
for victory at home and abroad.
We remember the attack on the
Negro press by Columnist West
brook Pegler. Then the stab-in-
the-back thrust by so-called Pho.

who put his mouthings in the Sat
urday Review of Literature and
Readers Digest. An attempt was
made to scuttle the FEPC and the
projected railroad hearings. Con-
ditions in the army air forces
forced the resignation of Judge
HASTE as civilian aide to Secretary
of War Frank Knox.
