RADIO TO AID
RELIGION
InternationaI News Service

BIRMINGHAM, England June
3O.--The radio microph6ne Is the
pulpit OF the future, according to
DR.. e. w. Barnes, the Bishop OF
Birmingham, who believes that the
purely emotional appeal in religion
has been rendered inadequate by
widespread education.
Great wireless preachers Will
emerge DIR. Barnes said, whose
fame win rival that Of the .film
favorites. In the years to come,
the radio. the school teacher and
the Journalist will do more to
bring religion to the people than
the mission preacher Of former
times.
''The preacher Of the new age
will have to build on q framework
which scholars and men Of science
have fashioned, II his message is
to be of permanent value.
Confident appeals Of the ignorant
to the ignorant and Of those who
like to toy with superstition to
those who are greedy for it--such
viii continue, but the slow pressure
of educated opinion win prevail
against Them.

clares that ITALY and Europe are
facing disruption and degeneration
and the world will watch with keen
interest the progress of the new

Italy from nation on the brink
of anarchy, into a country where
the workers and the government

man power"
The most drastic of the new
regulations is the addition OF one
hour to the working day in every

COOL N)GE'S
FARM AID
CRUSHED
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES


The Sixty-ninth, or Cool
idge Congress, " as it was
called when it swept into power
on the crest of the great Re
publican landslide Of 1924,
prepared today to 60 home,
bearing but little resemblance
to the closely knit, harmonious
body that took its seat in
December.
Where six months ago all
save a handful of the Repub-
ican majority were as regular
as clockHork in their support
of the. White House, today
there is a split Of such magm-
tude that Mr.. Coolidge yester-
day could command in the Sem
ate but % Republican votes on
. controversial matter on
which he had asked for solid
support.
Defeat Is Crushing
The Senate's crushing defeat of
the Tess farm relief bill, endorsed
by the President and his Cabinet,
was the browning blow at Re-
publican solidarity this session.
The spectacle Of q Republican
Congress, on the eve OF an cleo
ton that is all-important to the
party, repudiating the leadership
OF a Republican President, is
almost without parallel in recent
political history, and it empha-
sized as nothing else could today
the width of the chasm that
yawns between the Coolidge and
Coolidge wings of the party.
Whip Cracks in Vain
To still further emphasize the
Righteousness of the Senate Repub-
licans against the White House.
the Fess bill was the first contro-
yersial legislation that President
Coolidge has endorsed and made an
issue Of this session.
Ordinarily, with two dozen Re-
publican Senators facing reelection,
the White House would have only
to lightly WELD the. party whip to
obtain regularity, but yesterday the
party whip was cracked menacingly
and ignored.
Not only the insurgents from the
Corn Belt Joined the Democrats in
overriding the White House, but
Republican "stalwarts" as well.
Included among the 81 Repub
1icans who voted to ditch the Fess
bill were such ordinarily regular
Administration supporters as Reed

orado, and Greene OF Vermont.
DAVIS In Opposition
Vice President Dawes also was
numbered in the opposition. He
took no active part in the FSss
fight, but It was only few weeks
ago he was actively sponsoring the
McNary-Haugen program, which
President Coolidge denounced as
economically unsound" and threat
ened to veto.
/. What this Republican dissension
portends for 1928, IL anything, was
q fruitful matter OF political specu-
lation in the capital today.
The vote on the Fess bin demon
strated conclusively that most Of
the Republicans up for reelection
plan to stand on their own records
and make their own fight, indie
pendently of White House support
or opposition.
Almost every Republican Senator
who voted against the Tess bill did
so with entire disregard to the
flood of kilograms that were dis
patched into the Capitol during the
last 48 hours from state chAfrmen
and national committeeman appeal
ing to them to "stand by the Pres
ident."
The defeats suffered in the pri-
maries already by Senators who
bore the endorsement Of the White
House has not encouraged those
yet to face the voters to yearn for
label Of regularity.
Adjournment by Saturday was
the program today. Only the Dill
radio bill and the second deficiency
bill remained on the Congressional
calendar. A fight will be made by
some factions to enact the rivers
and harbors bill, but il apparently
is doomed to be lost for there are
filibusters enough in sight to delay
its adoption for many weeks.
Marketing Bin Passed
After rejecting the Tess bill the
tive Marketing bill. to which the
proposals had been offered as
was sponsored by the Administra-
ton, sets up a division of cooper
alive marketing in the Department
Of Agriculture.
1t is merely a bureau to gather
and disseminate information about
cooperative marketing and in no
way meets the demands OF the
agricultural interests.

German Aerial Expert Predicts New York to Berlin Trip In
 36 Hours.

Dusseldorf, Germany, June IS OP The day when trans-oceanic flights between Hamburg and New York will be made in 3G hours is not far distant, in the opinion Of Dr. Ed mund Rumpler, German aerial ex- pert, who has plans for aircraft capable of carrying 136 passengers and seven tons of freight.
 Addressing the Society for scien- tiic Aviation, the veteran expert described the prospects for covering the distance between European and North and South American ports in 36 hours, allowing four hours to landing at the Azores. He said an air route between Europe and South America can be laid out with less difficulty than one to North Amer ica, since the open stretch between the Azores is 1,7S0 miles compared with 2,435 miles to the United States.
