...Philadelphia Presbytery, long the recognized stronghold of Fundamentalism in that church, repudiated the Independent Hoard, went on record as "disapproving the formation of a new board."

Pearl Sydenstricker Buck, author (The Good Earth), as a Chinese missionary, voluntarily, without a hearing on heresy charges brought by Professor J. Gresham Machen of Westminster Theological Seminary (Philadelphia). Resigned. Rear Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd; as chairman of the National Economy League; in Manhattan.
