It had been noted here: that as Mr. Willkie’s support of Mr. Roosevelt’s foreign policies became more vigorous_ and effective, Alf -M. Landon of Kansas, the 1936 Republican Presidential candidate, has been increasingly outspoken in criticism of Administration moves. Any ® repudiation of Mr. Willkie would tend to focus Mr. Landon more sharply in the party picture. But what the anti-Willkie group in. Congress wants to do is make Rep. Martin the party spokesman. Rep. Martin is Republican leader of the House and also chairman of the Republican National Committee, for which job he was hand-picked by

[CHRISTIAN UNITY GOAL DISCUSSED

Delegates Tol Protestant Denominations Confer For Second Day.

Representatives of ‘several Protestant denominations met today at Roberts Park Methodist Church for the second of a two-day conference on Christian Unity, and explored denominational positions and atti-

tudes in a panel discussion. Dr. George A. Frantz, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, said that one hindrance to Christian unity was that people are too apt to let things go as they are, rather than trying to work for unity. Dr. Homer Teurney, general secretary of the Lutheran Church of Indiana, pointed out fhat the Lutherans have ‘taken a. step toward unity by agreeing among themselves on their faith, ‘and urged other ‘denominations to agree among themselves as a primary step. . Dr. Almon J, Coble, Methodist Church representative, .said that any unity of faith would take a hearty co-operation among the varithe Methosiste ve si gue a “are se house in order.” ing SHieiy
