Disquieting- Report Made by Com
mittee at Annual Meeting of
Xational Federation.
NEW TORK. Feb. 15. (Special.)
Preachers of radical and revolution-
ry doctrines have been most success
ful in getting a foothold in the Pres
byterian, Episcopal and "Methodist
churches and have made some prog-
ess among Catholics, according to
the report of a committee headed by
Everett P. Wheeler made yesterday
to the annual meeting of the National
Civic federation. The committee also
found "evidence of the activities of
the same elements in such non-sec-
arian bodies as the Y. M. C. A. and
Y. W. C. A., as well as in such philan
thropic organizations as the Red
Cross, supported largely by the
churches."
The Labor Temple, supported by
the Presbyterians; the Forum, main
tained by the Protestant Episcopal
hurch and the Community church,
formerly the Unitarian church of the
Advent, were cited as examples of
what the committee termed "misuse"
of church property.
The report of the committee, the
last prepared paper read at the clos-
ng session of the federation a annual
meeting, was followed by addresses
n bolshevism and other radical move
ments by Jacob H. Rubin, an ex
ociallst. recently returned from Rus-
a; Archibald E. Stevenson and Cap
ain W. A. Martin, late of the United
States army intelligence bureau in
