H|NDENbURG MAKES
 PUBLIC THANKS
Issues Statement in Response to
 Congratulations
Tie Associated Press.


 Hanover, Germany, April S0,- Field Marshal Von Hindenburg has been 50 swamped with congratula- tory messages since his election to the German presidency that he is un- able to answer them all, and today he issued general acknowledge ment in the following note:
 ITO all the numerous persons who in connection with the presidential election have kindly remembered me I can only thus express my hearty and deep felt thanks, since am otherwise engaged"
 The president of the Reichstag, Paul Loetbe, arriver here last even ing to confer with Won Hindenburg. and State Secretary Meissner, secre- tary to the late President Ebert and since his death to acting President Slmons, is expected today.
 Both visits are regarded as sig nificant. In connection with the visit of Herr Loebe. who is a socialist, it Is recalled that the president elect, almost alone of the generals, placed himself at Herr Ebert's service after the revolution and personally led his troops back from the front.
 Although Herr Loehe's visit is pri- marily for the purpose of discussing the details of the inauguration and relations between the executive and the Reichstag, the fact that he fol- lowed directly upon the heels of Chancellor Luther, and took back to Berlin assurances that Von Hin denburg planned no sweeping changes, would seem to indicate that the socialists are anxious to show that they are willing to give the new president a chance and not oppose him personally.
 Herr Messsuer's trip is regarded as an indication that Won Hinden- burg will probably retain him, at least for the present, since he knows better than anyone else the routine of the presidential duties, etiquette and affairs of state.

The governor then cited a bill passed by the legislature two years ago over his veto. accepting as state property the John Bryan farm on terms prohibiting for ever any form of religious public worship thereon.
 Tn the one instance the general assembly forbade religious worship in g portion of our state. In the other the assembly seeks to compel the state to teach religion 10 all the school children of Ohio without re- gard to the teachings received at their mothers knees. It is my bev lief that religious teaching in our homes Sunday schools and churches. by the good mothers, fathers and ministers of Ohio, Is far preferable to compulsory teachings Of religion by the state" .a "4.'.
 The governor further held that the bill was unnecessary because under existing Ohio law, when the people of local communities desire or de- mand It, boards of education In their discretion may require the reading of the Bible in the public schools.
 The governors disapproval of the bill marks the end of one Of the bit- terest religious fights waged in the Ohio legislature in recent years. The measure, introduced by Representa- tative Ross P, Buchanan, Carroll county farmer, sought 10 compel all public school teachers of the state to read 10 verses from rhe Bible to the pupils every school day. It also would have compelled every pupil beyond the fourth grade to memor- ize the Ten Commandments.
 Religious factions and other or ganizatlons took sides on the aues- ti6n of the passage of the measure and throughout it's stormy route through committees and on the floors of the house and senate. the galleries were packed with spectators inter ested in the outcome.

GOVERNOR VETOES
 OHIO BIBLE BILL
Claims It Opposes Principles Of
 Religious Liberty

Columbus Ohio, April so - The Buchanan Bible bill passed by the recent session of the Ohio general assembly,, 10 make daily reading of the Bible in all public schools of Ohio compulsory. was vetoed today by Governor Vic Donahey because ''it opposed the principles of civil and religious liberty which have made our government the model of the world" .
 Contrary to expectations, the gov ernef did not make any comment on theaaction of various factions in the legislature which supported or op- posed the bill. The bill was actively supported by Ku Klux Klan mem bers Of both branches of the assem- bly,. p.
 In considering the bill, the veto message said, ''let us remember that 1t was the hope and desire for reli- gions freedom that inspired the set ting and founding of the United States of America.
 The founders of our country, having in mind their own sacrifices in obtaining liberty of religious thought and seeking to hand down to their children this hard earned freedom, unimpaired for all time, were careful to write the doctrine of separation of church and state into the federal constitution. The makers of the constitution of Ohio did like wise and their action was ratified by the people. All the states of the union are in accord on this vital principle. xxx \ Ohio is not ready as yet to secede and 1t Is to be hoped it never will, from the principles Of civil and religious liberty which have made our government the model for the world"

prices again tended upward at the
opening Of todays market, with re-
newed buying of representative rail
and industrial shares giving stability
TO the movement. Oil stocks Were in
demand on the announcement of an
other cut in crude production. Motor
shares, however, encountered heavy
profit-taking, Mack Trucks dropping
points at the outset and White

The initial reaction of the automo-
tive issues failed to unsettle the rest

Confused price movements charac-
terized the morning trading. Revival
Of merger rumors stimulated the buy
ing Of low-priced Southern and South

non-ferrous metal prices brought fresh
buying into the copper group. Concer-
sion of paper profits into cash again
reached substantial proportions in the
motor group.
Active bidding for a number of the
oil and steel issues which advanced

brisk buying for both accounts in
