retary Hoover announced.
Mr.. Hoover made public letter to
Chairman Kahn OF the House military

attention ''to the terrible situation In
the Volga basin In Russia" and eff.

the hope that Congress might author
ize the secretary of war to donate
these associations such of the used
clothing, surplus medical and food
supplies as cannot be advnntageously
used by the army or as cannot be
readily disposed of for cash.
Secretary Weeks informs me that
there are considerable quantities. OF
such things costing the government
large amounts for storage and preser
walton, and | believe no greater pur-
pose could be found for their appli-
cation"
Mr.. Hoover also made public "A
statement on famine conditions in
Russia by DIR. Vernon Kellogg, secre-
tary OF the national research council,
which declared that in the Volga the
lives of 15,0o0.0Oo people were placed
In Jeopardy. He added that concen-
tration of the food available there
upon certain individuals throughout
the year might mean the survival OF
seven or eight millions of this num-
Der.
"In any event" DIR. Kellogg said.
''some number OF from five to ten
millions must he destroyed unless
| they are relieved from outside Rus
sia.''
| Around this area, he continued,
there is another area where there
will be considerable mortality and
throughout the balance of Russia
there is no supply OF food generally.
| Accompanying Mr.. Hoover's letter
was survey OF conditions in the
Tartar republic by ]. =. Gregg an In
vestigator of the American relief ad-
ministration. which told OF the failure
of that government to meet the
famine needs Of the people. He esti-
mated the number of children there
at about 1.25O,OOO and declared the
government had enough food to feed

Bible; Public Schools; Supreme Court

~AN the Bible legally be excluded
from the public schools? The
United States Supreme court will
be asked to decide this question. This
was announced recently by leaders of
the Presbyterian church In New York,
who have headed = movement among
various religious denominations to
bring test case before the nations
highest tribunal. The state OF Wash
ington, which officially excludes the
Bible from Its public schools. will
furnish the basis for the case.
The line of attack will be based on
the Declaration of Independence. The
claim is that the declaration Is
covenant between the American ma
tion and God. and that the study OF
the Bible by American children is es-
sential to an understanding of the
covenant and to full knowledge of
God.
ITO exclude the Bible from the pub
lie schools" the Presbyterians con-
tend. In their presentment preparatory

In conformity with wartime prac-
tice, the regulations provide that only
men with actual training or expert
