Anfi*American Rally Called In Damascus Today Revive Allegations Os U.S. Plot On Syrian Government By MURRAY BROWN United Press Staff Correspondent Pro - Soviet Syrians called an anti-American rally in Damascus today, reviving the official'allegations of a United States plot to overthrow the government of Premier Shukri El Kuwatly An article in the fellow-traveling newspaper Al Nur summoned Syrians to participate in the demonstration to "mark the failure and exposure of the imperialistic American plot in Syria." Syria last month ousted three members of the U.S. embassy staff in Damascus after accusing the United States of conspiring to overthrow the Syrian regime. The United States denounced the charges as slanderous and expelled the Syrian ambassador to 'Washington and .a member of his staff in retaliation. Significantly, the site of the rally is the Kurdish quarter of Damascus, the district represented by Khaled Bakdash, the only avowed Communist in the Syrian parliament. The hate-America campaign has been gaining steadily in intensity sinpe the seizure of power by ( a left wing military clique. U.S. Undersecretary of State Loy Henderson was dispatched to the Middle’East and he conferred on Syrian developments with pro-

Make Unprecedented Survey Os Churches Disagree Sharpty In Views On Bible OBERLIN, Ohio (UP)—American Protestants tend to agree in their beliefs about Jesus Christ, but they disagree sharply in their views on the Bible This was brought out today by an unprecedented survey of the “Working Faith” of church members in 10 majority denominations. Results of the survey were presented to the North American Conference of Faith and Order. The conference, which began Tuesday, is the most ambitious attempt ever made to lay the groundwork for a reunion of Protestant and orthodox churches in North America. Leaders of 47 U.S. and Canadian denominations are participating. in the eight-day meeting on the campus at Oberlin College. The Roman Catholic Church sent two informal observers” but is not officially taking part. The survey, conducted by a research group of clergymen and educators at Minneapolis, Minn.,

confirmed the suspicion of church leaders that there is comparatively little relationship today between a man s denominational affiliation and his doctrinal beliefs. Among the 5,704 Protestants who were polled, differences in belief were found to be as great or greater within members of the same denomination than between members of one denomination and members of another. Similarly, agreement on cardinal points of faith cut across denominational lines. The researchers reported they found ‘‘very substantial” agreement on two doctrines which comprise “the essence of the Christian church.” The “least agreement” was recorded on descriptions of the Bible Twenty one per cent of the clergy and 22 per cent of the laymen considered it the “infallible, verbally inspired word of God.” An additional 16 per cent of the clergy and 17 per cent of the laymen called it “the infallible word Os God but conceded that it may be “subject to errors in the transmission.” Twenty five per cent of the clergy and 31 per cent of the laymen described the Boble as the “word of God” without claiming infallability for iit.
