AT SOVIET DINNER
Missing Flyers Believed
Safe, Diplomat Tells Ex
plorer Who Aided Hunt.
By the Associated Press.
Voicing the conviction that Sigis
J mund Levanevsky, missing Soviet
j arctic flyer, and his five companions
! still are alive, Constantine Umansky,

| the Australian polar explorer, who has
just completed a fruitless aerial search
for Levanevsky in a Soviet-owned
flying boat.
Wilkins Reports to Embassy.
Accompanied by his crew of four
men, Wilkins flew here to report to
Russian officials on the results of
their hunt, which involved five long
distance flights covering 19.000 miles
of arctic waste. The explorer and
his men also expressed the belief
j there was a good chance that the
missing fliers survived their forced
i landing.

j efforts, saying that while the search
was unsuccessful, it contributed much
valuable scientific and meteorological
information which will be used in
further efforts to locate the missing
men.

CHURCH IS FACING
MENTION FIGHT
Episcopal Session Will Air
Move to Disprove Profit
Motive in Industry.
By the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, September 25—A
movement to have the Episcopal
Church disapprove the profit motive
in industry promised today to aggra
vate a controversy between conserva
tives and liberals at the church’s fifty
second triennial general convention,
opening here October 6.
The movement is fostered by mem
bers of the Church League for Indus
trial Democracy, which has drawn
criticism for inviting Homer Martin,
president of the United Automobile
Workers Union, to speak at one of its
forums here.
Rev. William Spoffard of New York,
secretary of the league, lias prepared
a resolution opposing the profit system
for submission to the supreme legisla
tive body of the church.
Non-Profit System
League members here were not cer
tain whether the resolution would rec
ommend a substitute. Many of them
favor the consumers' non-profit sys
tem. one type of which is promoted
widely by the farm bureaus.
Some backers of tire resolution,
doubtful of whether it will pass, feel it
will serve to bring attention to the
league's campaign to bring the work
ing man closer to the church.
One of the league's objectives is to
counteract the opinion, current in some
cities, that the Episcopal Church is a
communion principally for the middle
and upper classes.
New Order Forecast.
Bishop Edward L. Parsons of Cali
fornia, a league member, asserted some
time ago that "a new order is coming
whether we like it or not. We are
living in the twilight of the gods of
capitalism."
Remarking that "there is much
; Christianity in the world," Bishop
: Parsons said that "what is wrong is
the social order which expresses not
the spirit of Christ” as it is expressed
in many welfare enterprises and ‘a
social order which puts the emphasix
upon wealth and power and conse
crates the sin of avarice,"
The principal aim of the league,
which was organized nearly 20 years
ago and embraces many prominent
Episcopal clergymen as members, "is
to apply the principles of Christ to
social and industrial life.”

WOMAN'S HEARING
IN DEATH DELAYED
Prosecutors Accept Chal
lenge to Produce Evidence
or Free Suspect.
Ev the Associated Tress.
NEW YORK, September 25.—Pros
ecutors today accepted a defense chal
lenge to produce by Tuesday enough
evidence to hold Gertrude O'Keefe on
a charge of slaying the man who
jilted her, or else to set her free.
The slim, 37-year-old typist, held
without bail since Wednesday in con
nection with the death of George O.
Prank. 47, Wall Street stock teller,
appeared confident when she was ar
raigned for the second time in Brook
lyn Felony Court. ;
Her attorney, Samuel Leibowitz, ex
pressed strenuous objections, when
the case was postponed again until
Tuesday, saying:
“The district attorney’s office is
looking for a phantom witness sup
posed to have seen a woman skulking
behind a building wall the night of
the crime."
He declared there was “absolutely
no evidence” against Miss O'Keefe,
whom he described as a "respectable,
cultured, high-class woman."
Assistant District Attorney Anthony
J. Giovanni said he was not looking
for a “phantom witness,” but wished
to await a complete report from bal
listics experts on the bullet which
killed Prank.
Prank was found shot to death a
few doors from Miss O'Keefe's home
early Tuesday.
It was stipulated, on Leibowitz’s de
mand. that the State produce its evi
dence Tuesday or consent to a dis
missal.
