Bishop Says Lambeth
Report Will Include
Rap at Capitalism
ly th« A**oc»at#d Press
LONDON, Aug. 6.—-Eplscop&l
Bishop Frank Juhan of Jackson
ville, Fla., said yesterday that the!
Lambeth Conference of the Anglican
Church will condemn not only com
munism but capitalism "that is
equally aggressive."
The sessions of the conference'
which opened July 5 are secret and
were to conclude today. The con-:
ference's report on its decisions will
not be issued until August 18.
“The conference is coming out
very definitely not only against
nationalism, but communism, total
itarianism and other isms, includ
ing capitalism that is equally ag
gressive and tyrannical," Bishop
Juhan said in an interview.
“The conference is tremendously
concerned with great social prob
lems that break down a stable
home."
He refused to elaborate on his
observations.
Bishop Edmund P. Danbridge of
Tennessee, In an earlier Interview,
said intense nationalism is promot
ing international anarchy and con
stitutes “the greatest menace in the
world today ”
“Ultimately, we have got to have,
a federation of nations if we are!
going to live in peace,” he said.
Bishop Danbridge said he thought!
the church could help the present
international situation, by “insist-'
ing that the law of God is superior |
to the will of any one nation and
by fostering international friend- j
ship, co-operation and mutual un
derstanding among the nations.
The Nashville churchman, bishop
of the diocese of Tennessee, also is
attending the Lambeth conference
of the Anglican communion. He j
made it eVar that he was ict ex- j
pressing the views of the conference
when nc gave his opinions on world
conditions.

Fibbed Calls Meeting
Of Opera Unions to
Seek Met Reopening
By th« Associated Press
NEW YORK. Aug. 6.—Unioni
connected with the Metropolitan
Opera have been summoned to a
meeting Monday to seek means to
liter the Met’s decision not to open
luring the coming season.
The meeting was called yesterday
iy Lawrence Tibbett, Metropolitan
saritone and president of the AFL
Ouild of Musical Artists, which rep
resents singers, chorus and ballet
members.
He said the meeting would “try
:o work out some way by which the
Metropolitan- Opera can continue
text season.”
In telegrams to the various em
ploye unions, Mr. Tibbett said the
eason cancellation "affects the de
velopment of musical culture in the
jnited States as well as the liveli
locds and artistic careers of over
iOO persons.”
City Official Studying Situation.
In another quarter it was re
torted that Theodore W. Kheel. di
ectoi of the city’s labor relations
iivision, is studying the dispute be
ween the unions and opera asse
rtion which led to the decision
o cancel the 1948-9 season. ♦
Metropolitan directors announced
he action Wednesday, saying there
vas a $220,000 deficit last season
ind that they were unable to meet
inion demands for wage increases
or the coming season.
The directors had reached an
igreement with the Musical Artists
Suild and six other employe unions,
rut had failed to arrive at a settle
nent with five others, including the
VFL American Federation of Mu
iicians.
Met Says Decision Is Final.
Another move to alter the cancel
ation decision came yesterday from
tfewbold Morris, chairman of the
poard of the City Center of Music
ind Drama.
Mr. Morris offered to act as a
;onciliator in the dispute and said
ie was “appalled by the distressing
lews that the doors of the Metro
politan will be closed and radio
isteners deprived of the finest pro
jrams of the year In the coming
season.”
Despite these steps, Metropolitan
pfficials indicated the decision not
m open was final. George A. Sloan,
phairman of the Opera Association
Board, said:
"To those friends of ours who say
:an’t something be done —and
Heaven knows they have my sym
pathy-may I say we had opera
,tars here and abroad waiting for
in answer on contracts with them
or next season. We have notified

Communist Party
Refuses to Reinstate
Browder as Member
•y Iht Aisocifltid Pr«i
NEW YORK, Aug. 6.—The Com
munist Party has refused to rein
state its one-time national leader,
Earl Browder.
By an unanimous vote, the party’s
14th annual convention yesterday
rejected Browder’s appeal for resto
ration of his membership.
The 57-year-old Browder, wartime
Communist leader and once the
symbol of the party in America, was
deposed as general secretary in 1945
and expelled as a member in 1946
after he was accused of favoring
co-operation with capitalism.
The convention’s presiding com
mittee recommended that his re
quest for reinstatement be denied
on grounds that he has continued
to express anti-Marxist views and
to engage in anti-party activity.
Request Called Disguise.
The committee added that "the
request for readmission was in it
self a disguised form of anti-party
activity and a continuation of Mr.
Browder’s efforts to split the party
and discredit it.”
A spokesman said the committee
felt Browder could "do more damage
inside than outside.”
Browder early last month sub
mitted his request for readmission.
The request as released by Wil
liam Z. Foster, party head, said in
Dart:
"Events in conection with Yu
goslavia reveal serious dangers to
the world movement for socialism.
Many, including myself, have
hitherto had an inadequate under
standing of these dangers. •
Claims Desire to Aid.
"In such a mbment all other con
siderations must give away to the
necessary unity of the world move
ment and- the protection of its
achievement.”
His letter a'dded that “the enemy
camp, making use of my expulsion
from the party, now tries to mani
pulate with my name to extend
their disruptive efforts * * * my
only desire is to strengthen the
camp of peace, democracy and
socialism.1*
