AUSTIN. May 20.—The bill pend-
ing in the United States Senate reg-
ulating Sabbath observance and
work in the District of Columbia
was endorsed by the Cumberland
Presbyterian general assembly in a
report of the committee on Sabbath
observance. , <
Most interest In the morning ses-
sion was in the report of the educa-
tion committee. It reaffirms the
stand of the general assembly
against modernism and stated that
the fundamentals and belief in the
virgin birth of Christ are essential
in the church faith.

SAN ANTONIO. May 20—Women
and evolution received adverse
treatment today in reports before
the 64th general assembly of the
Presbyterian church in the United
States in session here-
The report of the committee on
bills and overtures declared in fa-
vor of excluding women hereafter
from executive committees of the
assembly •
The church's stand on evolution
already declared in its church di-
gest would be reaffirmed if the
committee’s recommendation on this
is adopted. The declaraion on this
point holds that man is the result of
a special creation and that variance
with this belief is a “dangerous

Congress gave
questton out of the way us a cam-
paign issue and they will urge this
on him.
If more revenues are needed lat-
er to meet the added annual charge
of about 8152,000.000 imposed on the
treasury by the bonus, special taxes
can be levied later, rather than to
try to revamp the present tax meas-
ure, leaders say.
The bill, howevew must be made
acceptable to Mr. Coolidge by elim-
ination of the tax return publi-
city provision and modification of
the gradual corporation levy, lead-
ers say. This, according to word
leaking from the conference meeting
is about to be done, thru “trading”
between Republicans and Democrats,
the latter to get their surtax sched-
ules approved in return for elimina-
tion of the publicity provisions.
What is probably the most poten
tial argument for signature of the
tax bill, when finallycompleted and
on which M^> Coolidge is expected
to appreciate, is that if he vetoes
the bill no attempt will be made to
repas sit, but instead an effort will
be made to put through a resolu-
tion providing for an immediate gen-
eral 25 per'dfnt reduction in income
taxes.
To this Democrats will offer the
Vtim4 tox bill as an amendment and
with the aid of Progressives, prob-
ably pass it, putting <he tax bill
again up to Mr. Cooldige in a fruit-
less way, barring all tax legislation
whatever
Chairman Smoot of the Senate con-
ferees declared he expected <he tax
bill to be concluded before the end
of the week.

visit to the Holy Land last sum-
mer, and was planted in hi* rose
garden. Now, the wheat i* flour-

■tate*. “This is the only evidence
I’ve seen of tares growing with
