PASTOR AND WOMAN
SHOT AT SERVICES
Former Falls Dead From Pulpit
From Bullet Fired Through
Church Window.
By the Associated Press.


MORGANTOWN, KY, August B.
Rev. Mr.. Moss, an evangelist, and
Mrs. Jerome Robinson Of Butler Coun-
ty, were shot last night in church,
near here, while the opening hymn of
revival services was being sung.
The preacher toppled from the pull
pit dead, and Mrs. Robinson. wife of
a farmer, who was sitting in the front
row of the choir, died an hour later.
Several persons narrowly missed be-
ing struck by the shots, which were
fired through an open window.
Clifford Wilson was arrested and
held for investigation after 14-year-
old girl told officers she saw him fire
the shots. County officers today were
following with bloodhounds other
trails from the church.
Such excitement reigned that coun-
ty authorities were unable to deter
mine how many shots were fired.
Their first theory was that the evange-
lists stand against bootlegging had
caused the shooting. Reports had
been circulated that in reality he was
a detective brought to the county to
aid officials in finding prohibition vio-
latorS.

tantamount to a declaration of war.
Bulgaria and Jugoslavia have made

NEW COLLEAGUES

Rudolph and Bell Well Ac-
uuainted With Abilities of
Fenning Successor.

News of the appointment of Proc
tor L. Dougherty was first carried
to the two other Commissioners, Cuno
H. Rudolph and Lieut.. Col. j. Frank
lin Bell, by newspaper men while they
were holding the semi-weekly meet
ing of the Board of Commissioners.
Both made an effort to locate Mr..
Dougherty to congratulate him, but
were unsuccessful.
AS chairman of the Board of Com
missioners, Mr.. Rudolph made the
following comment on the appoint.
ment:
Il am pleased with the Presidents
selection. Mr.. Dougherty's technical
training, together with his wide busi.
ness experience, qualities him for the
many duties of commissionership. AS
a civic leader he will have the in
terests of the city at heart. / am hope.
full that he will have an early oppor-
tunity to familiarize himself with the
departments that he will superin-
tend"
Bell Likes Appointment.
Commissioner Bells comment was:
II have known Mr.. Dougherty inti-
mately during my services here. He
has always been much interested in
civic improvements and has devoted
much time to public matters. He will
make an able, energetic, progressive
commissioner"
Mr.. Dougherty will come into office
to find all of the routine matters of
the Fenning regime cleared away. AS
soon as Mr.. F'enning departed from
Washington on his vacation trip his
work was taken over by Commissioner
Rudolph, and he assiduously carried on
the duties of the police Commissioner
as well as his own.
The only big task facing the Commits
sioners this summer is the revision of
the Districts estimates for the next
fiscal year The tentative estimates
now are before the Bureau of the Bud
get, but are expected to be returned
soon for the usual slashing process.
Familiar With Details.
Mr.. Dougherty, however, is familiar
with all of the details in the tentative
estimates, as he worked with his
colleagues on the Citizens Advisory
Council in studying them and framing
a budget which the council submitted
TO the Commissioners.

Commissioner, Mr.. Rudolph made

By the Associatsl Press.


MEXICO CITY, August 3.-The
Catholic Episcobate. replying in
statement to the manifesto issued
Sunday by the Regional Confedera-
ton of Labor to chambers of com
merce throughout Mexico, gives de-
NAL to the assertion of the Confed-
GRAFTON that complete liberty exists
in Mexico. 1t also denies the confed-
eration's statement that the present
religious controversy has been
brought about by the Catholic clergy
of Mexico systematically refusing
to obey the laws and the constitution
of the republic and by urging the
people to disobey them"
The statement says the economic
boycott called by the National League
for Defense of Religious Liberty was
not the work of the clergy. 1t charac-
terizes as untrue the confederation
insinuation that the Catholic Church
"has acquired obligations with in
ternationai capitalistic forces
1T is puerile for the confederation
in a statement to defend liberty of
thought while the confederation sup
ports laws violating such liberty,
says the statement IF the Episcopate.
1T is untrue that the economic boy
cott is the clergy's doing. However,
such a boycott is II 1t unjust. as the
federation declares, because it is not
unlawful not to buy and not to amuse
ones self. Furthermore, the boycott
is justified because by a temporary
economic crisis, it will at least tenn
porariIy settle a definite and deep
moral crisis, compensating for ii by
transitory self denial.

Denies Clergy Started Idea.

Nothing is more natural than for
the Catholic to show his grief when
his faith is being prosecuted. there
fore the clergy gives moral support
to the movement. although it did not
originate with the clergy.
1T is candid for the confederation
to admit that 1t maintains that a
constitutional provision must deserve
the reverence due to the sacred name
of law. even if it is an outrage on
natural rights and not an expression
of the will of the people. but instead
an expression of crafty combination
of armed groups"
The episcopate pronounced as ab-
solutely untrue the confederation's
insinuation that the Catholic Church
has acquired obligations with capital
istic international forces" 1t declares
that the confederation was "continu.

Lancaster PA copy of one of

Ulrich Zwingli Bible-the printing of
which is said to have taken four
years, has been discovered in the H.

The Bible, according to IT'S title
page, was printed by Christopher
Froschauer in 1929. Four years be-
fore that time the first section of the
volume, which is in six sections, was
printed. The text was compiled by
Zwingli and several other preachers
of Zurich who were associated with
him. and a greater part of the German
text was translated from the Latin
by Martin Luther. The Bible, accord
ing to historians, at the time of its
publication corresponded to the popu-

WILL FIGHT BAN
ON CORN SUGAR
Bill to Solve Crop Surplus in
Congress.

misunderstanding that they
lion farmers and business men of the
corn belt, Iowa congressman have be-
gun a determined fight to solve the
corn surplus problem by removing re
strictiOnS on the sale of corn sugar
now imposed by the pure food act.
a In this way they hope to build up
a new market which will consume mil
lions of bushels of corn each year and
eventually take over the entire annual
surplus.
There are no restrictions now on the
manufacture Of corn sugar, but under
the pure food act, all products in
which corn sugar is used must be
specially branded and labeled to show
that corn sugar and not beet or cane
sugar was used.
This restriction, it is asserted, has
proved a great handicap to the mar
keting of corn sugar, as the enforced
labelling is asserted to carry with it
''the stigma of inferiority."
In order to remove this restriction
bill has been introduced in the SEN
ate by Senator Cummins Rep., Iowa)
and in the house by Representative
Cole (Rep., Iowa). The bill provides
for amending the pure food law so
that corn sugar products will be added
to the list of articles that are not
deemed misbranded if not specially la,
beled.
To the farmers of Iowa and Illinois,
who have been forced to accept low
prices for corn, largely because of the
surplus, increased manufacture of,
corn sugar would offer new market
for larger quantities of corn. Already
thousands of letters have been sent
to mid-western congressman and to the,
Department of Agriculture urging the
immediate passage of legislation which
will remove the present restrictions on
the sale of corn sugar products.
Of the restrictions are removed and
corn sugar can be marketed in large
quantities, it means that the total
yearly surplus of corn will be sold to
food manufacturing plants" Mr.. Cole
declared. "This undoubtedly would
mean increased prosperity for the
whole corn belt"

not so sure that the proposed change

pay his tuition and other expenses.
The institute accepted him.
Later a six-year-old girl rode mule
from her home in the same county ~
miles from the school. She had moth

ing except the promise of a pig that
would be given to the institute.

MAY TURN TO BLUE
FOR ARMY UNIFORM
Nos Enough Olive Dra5 70
Clothe Soldiers.

Washington d. CA careful survey
of American resources for the manu-
facture of khaki breeches has con
vinced army officials that if it became
necessary to put force of two million
men into the field in less than eight
months, most of them would have to
fight in their shirt tails.
Faced by this appalling possibility,
the industrial mobilization wing of the
national defense planning machinery
started a study of its own. 1t found
that it would be entirely possible com
pletely to uniform two million men
from head to foot in Is days provided
blue cloth instead of khaki was used
The trouble with the khaki outfit is
that not enough cloth of that color Is
in ordinary civilian use. There are
ample stocks of blue and gray, both
wool and cotton fabric. The result has
been the working out of a tentative
blue training uniform which could be
supplied in ample volume for a mobili-
zation, to be discarded as units com,
pleted their preliminary preparation
and moved out for final training near
the zone of operations
BY that time complete khaki outfits
with tan leather trappings would be
ready for them, giving them the neces
sary degree of low visibility in the
field.
The contemplated blue training uni
forms would consist of a fOur-button
blouse, dressed with red shoulder
knots to give a military touch; blue
cloth overseas caps; blue breaches,
tan canvas leggings of the lacing vari-;
ETY. and black Shoes Tan shoes would
be preferable, but the survey dis
closed only limited quantity of tan
Munson last shoes in the market while
there are always plenty of blacks to
be had.

beyond a study stage in the War de-
partment.
