HURCHWOMEN PLAN MERGE
DELEGATES TO CONFERENCE
| Convention Series Erick Baptist Leaders to Hold Convocation Monday
Proposal Drawn Here Expected to Result in Merger of Nation's Largest Groups of Protestant Women; Dr. Fridell Leads Speakers’ Team.
: ‘By EMMA RIVERS MILNER - A two weeks’ series of inter-denominational church conferences here was 'ended today with hope brighter for the merger of the three largest
groups of Protestant churchwomen.
The National Committee of Churchwomen ended its conference at the Hotel Severin yesterday by submitting to the organizations which formed it the draft of a unity proposal.
These groups were the National Council of Churchwomen, the Committee on Women’s Work of the Foreign Missions Conference of North America and the Council of Women for Home Missions (U. S. and Canada). Most Protestant women’s organizations pelong to one or another of these groups. The executive committees of - the
three organizations will consider]
the unity draft and offer any obJections or suggestions regarding it at a meeting of the National Committee of Churchwomen in June at Swarthmore, Pa. | ‘A revised draft will then be pre- - sented to the conventions of each of the three groups. Ratification by January, 1941, is believed likely. Mrs. J. H. Smiley of Indianapolis is recording secretary of the National Council of Churchwomen. Mrs. Ralph J. Hudelson of Indianapolis, a former vice president of that council, served as an observer at the committee meeting here. Other interdenominational groups which met here this month were the . Missionary | ducation Movement of the United |States and Canada, the Home Missions Council and the
Council of ‘Women for Home Mis-|.

Christian Mission Group ‘Will Visit City Nov. 10-17
Indianapolis is one of 20 cities to be included in the itinerary of the 1940-41: inter-denominational Na-
tional Christian Mission, Dr. Howard G. Baumgartel, Church Federation executive secretary, announced today. The city is to be visited Nov. 10 to 17, midway in the mission’s tour, which will begin at Kansas City Sept. 29° and end in Portland, Ore. March 2, 1941. The National Christian Mission is similar to the National Preaching Mission of 1936-1937 but outlines some differences. It will be remembered that the latter brought thousands of people into Cadle Tabernacle for the services and that 40 cities were touched including this one. The National Christian Mission is organized under a changed name and will spend a week here and in other cities. It will attempt to reach the unchurched half of the nation whereas the former mission was for the spiritual revival of church members. The 25 Christian Mission speakers, whose names have not been anBOuAGGly wid address educational
social welfare, professional, labor, business, cultural and governmental groups. Thus they expect to be heard by many people who seldom, maybe never, attend church. Mass and youth meetings and conferences dealing with specialized religious She community interests are schede
When the week of intensive effort in the city is finished, speakers will move into rural districts covering a radius of 200 miles and in some instances an entire state.
To enable Christians all over the world to aid spiritually with the mission simultaneous communion services are to be held Oct. 6. The World-Wide Communion has been a Presbyterian custom for some years. The National Christian Mission is sponsored by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. Of it the latter's magazine says: “In the geconviction that extraordinary time§ like the present demand extraordinary efforts and that in a period of confusion the only course for the church is foward, the National Christian Mission "has been , brought into ehistonce,” :

Dr. Ha rkness To Talk Here
Listed as 'Personality’ for Convention, Jan. 29-31.
“Personalities will make memorable the joint convention of the Indiana Pastors’ Conference and the Indiana Council of Churchwomen,” Mrs. J. H. Smiley, arrangements chairman, said today. Dr. Georgia Harkness, who will speak twice during the convention in the First Baptist Church and Roberts Park Methodist Church, Jan. 29 to 31, is one of fhe “personalities” referred to by Mrs. Smiley. Dr. Harkness is the first woman to occupy the chair of theology in an American school of theology. She was inaugurated Monday as professor .of applied theology at Garrett Biblical Institute, Evanston, Ill, coming there irom Mt. Holyoke College. Will Speak Twice
She will address the combined conventions Tuesday, Jan. 30, at 7:30 p. m. on “The Church Moves Toward Unity,” and Wednesday, Jan. 31, at 11:30 a. m. on “The Church Speaks to the World.” “I was a pacifist 10 years ago and still am,” Dr. Harkness wrote
recently of herself in the Christian Century. “Pacifist though I am, I find great vigor in the phrase ‘the church militant,’ and I see growing evidence of its reality. “I believe that God is in His world, that he works in and with His children, and that out of the distresses of this day His Kingdom is being the more surely wrought.
Cites Personal Religion
“In the turmoil and strain of this decade great numbers of people have been driven to look to God for the resources they did not find in themselves or in social relations. Students are more interested in personal religion now than they have been since my own student days.” Dr. Harkness is the author of many books and a poet. She attended world Christian conferences at Oxford, England, in 1937, and at Madras, India, in 1933, and was for three semesters at Union Theological Seminary.

TRIO GETS $4700 AT EAST CHICAGO BANK
EAST CHICAGO, Ind. Jan. 20 (U, P.).—Three gunmen who held up the Peoples Federal Savings and Loan Association office were sought
today by police who believed they had fled toward Chicago. The gunmen escaped with $1700 in cash and $3000 in negotiable checks. Cashier Thomas Goldeckicki said the robbers marched into the office late yesterday and announced “This is a stickup.” He said they forced him to turn over all the cash in his cage and then herded him, two girl employees and five customers into the vault. The vault door failed to lock and the victims emerged as the bandits drove away in a gray sedan. The car headed toward Chicago.
ST. LOUIS SCHOOL HEAD IS REMOVED
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 20 (U. P.).— Bearded and dignified Henry J. Gerling, nationally known educator and for 11 years superintendent of the St. Louis school system, was removed from office today.

There was no hint that Gerling. with a distinguished career of 41 years as an educator behind him, profited personglly. But he did, he freely admitted, use the money designed to provide food for poor children to gamble in stock deals and in real estate speculation.

was a big hissing and popping, and flames shooting off the hood, I thought my time had come. We slid on under it before I could put on the brakes. Neither the interne nor I was injured.” His most startling moment, he recalled, was on his first run after a radio had been installed in his ambulance. “I picked up the body of a man who had committed suicide by hanging and was taking him to the hospital morgue. It was about 3 a. m, and I was a little sleepy. “Suddenly, I heard a loud voice and I nearly jumped ouf of the ambulance before I realized it came from the radio and not from the man I was carrying.” In all the years Mr. Cox has been driving an ambulance, he has never had an accident where a patient was injured. As a driver, his pet peeve is the motorist who, as the ambulance
‘comes down the street, approaches
from a cross street and doesn’t put on his brakes until he gets even with the sidewalk. “It makes my heart jump into my mouth,” Mr. Cox said. “I'm always afraid he won't get stopped in time. Another peeve is the driver who swings out from the curb without looking behind.”
PROBERS OF NLRB BARGAIN ON REPORT
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (U. P.) .— An anti-New Deal Democrat - and two Republicans who comprise a majority of the special House committee . investigating the National Labor Relations Board were reported willing today to make certain con-
cessions in order to win support of the committee's two administration members for a report recommending amendment of the Wagner Act. The Majority—Chairman Howard W. Smith (D. Va), and Reps. Charles A. Halleck (R. Ind.), and Harry N. Routzohn (R. O.)—were said to be ready to bargain in an effort to bring in an uMnimous report, bearing signatures of Reps. Arthur D. Healey (D. Mass.), and Abe Murdock (D. Utah), on Wagner Act changes. Reason for the willingness to bargain, it was reported, is a belief that if Rep. Healey and Rep. Murdock sign the report, its proposals may be supported by the House leadership. Both men have defended the board. There was no indication what amendments may be recommended.
