FASCIST GOVT. IS
Being CRITICIZED
Prsbyterians Claim It Opposes
Protestant Missions

Washington, May ~ Up - The
fascist government Of Italy was ac-
cused Of supporting Roman Catho-
lie propaganda against Protestant
Italian missions in America and the
Ku Klux Khan was criticised for
its opposition to foreigners in re-
port prepared for submission today
to the assembly OF the United
Presbyterian church by its board OF
home missions.
Italians living In the United
States, the report averred. in ac-
cepting Professionalism. face the
danger OF being called traitors and
the confiscation Of property in
their native land. Alleged Catholic
propa ganda against Italian Protes-
tant missions here, the report add
ed. is directly supported by the
fascist government
The Klan's opposition to for
eigners was held in the report to
be a hindrance to the board Of
missions work among immigrants.
Prohibition is looked upon as a
Protestant measure and used by Its
enemies to turn natives against
Professionalism" said the report.
While the Ku Kiux Khan is not
Intentionally opposed to the Pro-
testant mission work. yet by its op-
position to foreigners and its Pro-
testant tendencies it turns immi-
grants against Protestant mis-
sions.''
The report also emphasized the
necessity of education of negroes
toward leadership within their own
race. and declared that 1.-The mar
velous progress of the negro IN
three score years, coming out Of
slavery. handicapped by ignorance,
superstition and restitution. is ac-
counted for only by what the
church did in offering Christian
education so generously to the
whole race"
The report said the general policy
for the negro race should be edu-
cational rather than eyangelistic.
and added that the growing facilities
for negro education in southern
states pointed the church's duty to
provide Christian training.
Work among the Mormons during
the last year was described by
Secretary Nutting. of the Utah Cos
pei mission, as having been espe-
cially difficult because Of the short
age of workers Mormon missions
were reported to be only practicable
in the open air because Mormons
"studiously boycott the established
Christian church or school," being
deferred from attending mainly by
evil teachings and current SANDER
Of the Christian ministers and
church."

Drivers LICENSES
QUICKLY PRODUCED
90 Per Cent Have Credentials in
N,147 Accidents

Hartford, May 27-That the great
majority Of Connecticut motor We
hicle operators see to it that they
have their licenses on their persons
whenever they drive is indicated by
check-up made by the state motor
vehicle department with respect to
40.147 operators who reported acct
dents during the past year.
OF that number. 39,4S5, or more
than 90 per cent. were found to be
carrying operators licenses. Only
26s proved unable to produce their
licenses after the accident. Nine of
them had neither operators licenses
or registration certificates for the
cars they were driving. The 259 9TH
crs while without their operators
licenses were able to produce regis
orators had their operators licenses
but no registration certificates. In
sufficient data for a classification
was furnished the department in the
cases OF 3es operators.
The importance OF carrying both
certificates is emphasized by the mo-
tor vehicle department. In some mu-
inequalities Of the state, the police
make 1t a point to find out, every
now and then, whether every oper-
ator has license by stopping every
car that passes a given point. After
an accident. any one has the right
to demand to see the license of an
operator who has been involved.
Inability OF an operator to show
registration certificate frequently
leads TO prompt arrest under sus-
pcion OF having stolen the car. The
state law requires that the registra-
ton certificate be carried in the car
which it describes, when operated
on the highways, except in the case
OF cars Of dealers, manufacturers
and repairers It is one OF the laws
designed to make it more difficult
for people who are in possession of
stolen cars to operate them and has
led to the apprehension Of many au-
tomobile thieves in the state
II is also important TO notify the
department of any change in the APP
paarance of the car registered, so
that the description given on the
registration certificate will tally.
