...Missal" (mass-book to be used with the prayerbook) was regarded by many as much too High-Church. On these questions the Catholic and Protestant wings of the Church were lined up, more sharply demarcated than they had been in 50 years. Also, the reelection of Bishop James De Wolf Perry of Rhode Island as presiding bishop, regarded not long ago as a fait accompli, was suddenly threatened by a faction which backed Bishop Ernest Milmore Stires of Long Island. Wrote Dr. Alexander Griswold Cummins in The Chronicle (official organ of the Protestant Episcopal Church League, an evangelical organization...
Embezzler Wolf was not under arrest last week. He was living in a hotel under guard by Lloyd's detectives pending the insurance company's efforts to recover some of the securities from Wolf's brokers. "I'll be able to help quite a bit in checking everything up," he said...
