Highlight of the week end was
a dance Saturday in the rose ball
room wherein a waltz contest was
staged. The Windsors participated
and ended up by tying for first
prize with another couple. They
may not have danced quite as well
as the other pair but all eyes were
glued on them as they glided
gracefully under the elegant crys-
tai chandeliers when they put on
a solo performance for the entire
assemblage. One sentimentalist
observed that it looked as if the
romance of the world was dancing
with them.

This letter is from q New York
reader: Since the restaurants are
asked not to serve water except TO
those who ask to have it. I won
dered why. during this water short
age we've been having. it should be
considered bad manners to eltmi-
nate water glasses at the home
dining table. Oh. Of course. when
the family is alone, only those
who want water are given a glass.
But my query has TO do with when
we have guests"
The only trouble with not put
ting glasses at all the places is
that Just when YOU want your ia

look unbalanced. You still do not
have to waste water because you
would fill only the glasses Of those
who say they want 1t.
Combination Wedding Duties

want him to sing at the wedding
both before the ceremony and

brother as best man. How can
the two be combined?
Answer: The only possible OBJ

though, having q member Of the

be awkward.

Bishop Council Urges
Dropping Methodist
From Social Group
BY fhe Associofed Press

CLEVELAND. April 21.-The
Methodist Council of Bishops
recommended today that the word
Methodist" be dropped from the
Methodist Federation for Social
Action.
The council made the sugges-
ton in lengthy statement which
a spokesman said was in reference
to an article in Readers Digest
called "Methodism's pink fringe" !"
Written by Stanley High, the
article said the Methodist fedora
ton has opposed the American
capitalist system and had shown
sympathy for some Communist
theories.
Then it pointed out the fedora
tion is not and does not claim
to be an authorized agency of
the church. "It is a voluntary
and independent organization" "
the statement asserted. 1T is not
responsible to the church.
Doesn't Speak for Church.
''It does not speak for the
church, and over it neither the
general conference nor the council
of bishops has jurisdiction"
The council added it has been
reliably informed that the Execu-
tive Committee of the federation
has recommended to the fedora
tion's membership that the word
Methodist" be dropped from its
title.
Indorsing this action, the state
ment added:
Should this recommendation
be followed, it would in our opin-
ion, clarity in the public mind
the independent nature of the
federation"
The councils statement came
on the final day of the groups
four-day meeting.

Last night, the council issued
a bitter condemnation of John T.
Flynn's best-seller book, 1.-THE
Road Ahead" Mr.. Flynn accused
the Federal Council of Churches
on being inclined towards
socialism.
Hitting at the chapter entitled
'"The Kingdom of God" the
bishops said it is 80 full of errors
and Misrepresentation that any
fair minded American reader can
not escape the conclusion that the
author is ignorant of the matters
with which he deals ="
They declared that with dense
spiritual dullness and the most
amazing carelessness in handling
facts, the author singled out
Bishop G. Bromley Oman and DR..
E. Stanley Jones, both of New
York, for particular criticism.
Bishop Oman was reelected
secretary of the council yesterday
and the bishops said they have
abundant confidence" in both
churchmen.
Mr.. Flynn, in New York. said
the charge that the chapter was
full of errors is "just not true"
He added that he had not at
tackled the Federal Council of
Churches, but merely called at
