A.M.E BISHOPS COUNCIL
CONFIRMS SWITCH FROM
SIMS TO WRIGHT


WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 27
(ANP)-Indicating firm support
and determination to retain Bishop
r. R. Wright as the New York dis
trict prelate, replacing Bishop
Sims, majority of the A.M.E. Bish-
ops council signed a. resolution
confirming the appointment.
When Bishop w. A. Fountain,
termed a "reactionary member of
group" refused to put in the form
of motion the nine-signature reso-
luton presented by Bishop IS. L.
Greene, he dealt blow to the unity
of the denomination, an authorita-
tive source declared. At no time in
the previous history of the council
has chairman refused to put a
resolution signed by a majority Of
the bishops up to the entire group,
the statement continued.
The resolution, to. clarity the
councils stand on the change from
Bishop Sims to Bishop Wright, was
signed by Bishops R. C. Ransom,
]. A. Gregg, S. L. Greene, N. w.
Williams, R. R. Wright, D. Ward
Nichols, Frank M. Reid, G. w. Ba-
Der, and j. H. Clayborn. Bishop
Wright, speaking to the council, de-
clared: 81 want it clearly under

matter. | am the Bishop of New
York, not because | asked to be or
wanted to be, but because the Bish-
ops Council appointed me. | have
gone to my appointment in New
York just as any loyal pastor goes
to his. | am a Methodist preacher
and when the church authority
sends me, | go. AS | went to far
away South Africa, | go to New
York.
81 am paained that Bishop Sims
sees fit to rebel against the bishops
council and to contest it's authority
above his church. The matter is a
climax to a struggle between two
concepts of the bishopric: the old,
lon-progressive, reactionary group,
and the new, church above the in
dividual sector. The progressives
are tired of airing the church
troubles in civil court, and Of the
suits for accounting such as Bish-
ops Davis and Sims have faced.
They are determined to stop it.

Wage-Price Argument

q INT and highly dangerous
The other side OF this argument starts off with
the statement that the easiest and best way 10 lex
scarcity and high prices is by increasing production
The second part OF the argument Is that more pro-
ducIon can best be obtained by raising prices-by
allowing manufacturers and dealers 70 make a little
more money. The third part is that once production
is started and goods get in full supply then prices
will automatically drop.
Finally, " is argued that only by raising prices
little can business get enough money TO pay the
higher wages now being demanded by labor and
therefore the only way to settle strikes is through
lifting the price ceilings

greater than demand and prices start going below
the established ceilings. then price controls may be
