Omaha, Neb., Sept. (I. N. S.)—Clergymen and laymen assembled here for the sixth provincial synod of the Protestant Episcopal church, were told Monday by the Right Rev. I. P. Johnson, bishop of Colorado that he doubted the power of that body to establish a religious secretaryship in the northwest province of the church. The proposed secretaryship received favorable action at the 1923 synod, but motions today to reaffirm or rescind this action were set aside temporarily. Wyoming and South Dakota dioceses voiced their approval of the establishment of the office while Nebraska and west Nebraska replied that they could not accept the proposition. Bishop Johnson further asserted that "there was nothing to compel the dioceses in the province to accept the will of the synod" in the controversy.
