Of Questionnaire

Alleged preparation of a sex ques-
tionnaire similar to that which led

eral weeks ago has resulted in the
dismissal of H. D. Powers head of

lahoma Baptist University here and

Dr. W. W. Phelan president of
the university made an announce-
ment in which he relates his dis-
covery of the questionnaire which
- he said had been sent to the univer-
sity print shop.
The questions were “vile and
filthy” he said adding it was “the
most unchristian sheet of writing”
I he ever had seen.
Dr. Phelan said he had discharg-
ed Powers and Wells a ministerial
student Tuesday after he had made
an investigation which led him to
believe the questionnaire was to be
used in psychology classes.
Wells charged with having given
the order for the questionnaire to
the print shop told officials
he was having them printed to be
used in the state penitentiary.

Scathing Denunciation By
Cameron Man Is Answer
To Presbyterians
CAMERON Texas April 24.—(/P)
A scathing denunciation of church
tents wbicn stifle scholarship is the
answer of the Rev. H. G. Kenney
to the officials who recently ousted
him from the pastorate of the First
Presbyteiian church here.
Church leaders agreed that if
there liad been a chance for ihe
Rev. Kenney’s reinstatement his
statement precluded such a possibil-
ity. His indictment against the
church leaders who expelled him
was concluded with the words: “I
cannot believe that all doors are
forever closed on me.”
“It makes no difference how much
good a man may be doing” the min-
ister’s statement declared. “If he
fails to uphold and defend the
standards of the church there is
no place for him in their midst. I
have been put out because I would
not permit my name to remain on a
statement of faith which was neith-
er constructive nor vital.”
The church today is too interested
in correct theology and not interest-
ed enough in vital religion the pas-
tor said.
‘ One meets today many ‘great
Methodists’ and ‘great Presbyteri-
ans’ but how few are the great
‘Christians’.”

HARDY DENIES
ALLCHARGES
Judge Say» He Never Told
Grand Jurors To ‘Lay
Off Aimee Case'
SACRAMENTO Cal April 24—</P)
Having flatly contradicted testi-
mony of prosecution witnesses in his
impeachment trial Judge Carlos S.
Hardy prepared today to undergo
cross examination.
For four hours yesterday the
jurist denied the principal charges
against him. The prosecution al-
leges he acted as attorney for Mrs.
Aimee Semple McPherson and that
he obstructed justice by becoming
unduly active in her behalf during
the investigation of her kidnaping
story.
Judge Hardy admitted having
conferred with Mrs. McPherson’s at-
torneys on the employment of de-
tectives and also that he had re-
ceived reports from investigators
sen to Carmel Cal. in an attempt
to support the evangelist’s conten-
tion that she as not the woman who
was with Kenneth G. Ormiston for-
mer Angelus temple radio operator
during the time Mrs. McPherson
was missing.
The jurist denied however he had
influenced the investigation of Mrs.
McPherson's story or that he had
counselled the evangelist’s attorneys.
He also denied he had warned Los
Angeles grand jurors to “lay off the
Aimee case.”
