NEW YORK - A nation.
wide study commission advis-
ed the Methodist Church to
continue its system of racially
segregated jurisdictions appar-
emily because the South would
again split from the church

'To legisIdte the immediate

and to force their indignation
within the existing regional
Jurisdictions, it would split the

regional jurisdictions, would
be cast adrift without direct
