WARDEN MAY BLOCK MRS. SNYDER'S PLAN Fear Gates of Sing Sing Will Be Closed to
 Noted Alienist
OsSi1Ain N x Na

Ossining, \. Y.. Nov. 29 OUP)- Warden Lewis E. Lawes of Sing Sing prison today blocked the new est path hy which Ruth Brown Sny- { der hoped to leave the death house al Sing Sing prison.
 With the convicted widows $ attor- neys seeking 10 establish a final in- sanity plea, Warden Lawes announc- cd he would refuse to open the prison gates to Dr. Clarence. A. Ney- mann, Chicago alienist who had planned 10 make psychopat thic analysis of Mrs. Snyder today. Only an order from Dr. Raymond r. C. Kich. state commissioner of correction, will allow the noted alienist who figured in the Leopold- 1 Loeb case 10 come within the prison Walls Warden Lawes said.
 The regular members Of the state lunacy commission, made up of superintendents of the stac hospi- tals for the insane, are the only eX- perts allowed 10 examine prisoners in the death house under Dr. Kiebs S orders.
 What action Mrs. Snyder's attor- ney. Edgar F. Hazlcton, will take in the face of this new development remains uncertain. He had brought nr. Neymann from Chicago against his clients wishes in the hope that an insanity plea similar 10 the one which won clemency for Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, Jr.. could be established in Mrs. Snyder's case.
 Despite Mrs. Snyder's aversion to such a plea, Hazleton asserted he was no longer respecting her wishes in the matter.
 Now that she Is in peril of tho death chair. I have taken the case into my own hands in a final effort to save her." the attorney said.

MINISTER DEPICTS
POWER OF Church.
DR.. Cadman Cites "0utstand-
ing Trends" of Great
Future Influence.

The churchs responsibility extends
TO Virtually every phase of national
and international life. DR.. s. Parkes
. Cadman, president of the Federal
council of Churches, contends in the
forthcoming Handbook of Churches,
published by the council.
lie points out three outstanding
trends in American religious life
which he considers will make them
selves felt powerfully" in the future.
Courageous Work Is Seen.
I'm the first place" DR.. Cadman
says, the American churches are GO
Ing to grapple courageously with
great social and international qles-
tions. The day is past when any
realm of our economic. Industrial
social, political or international life
VIII be regarded as outside of the
sphere of responsibility of the
churches.
When. however. the churches at.
tempt to make their influence felt in
'molding public opinion on great pub
lie issues. they discover that if they
are to do anything effective they
must act far more unitedly than has
hitherto been the case. The realiza-
tlon Of this fact has led to d second
notable trend in American religious
lie, namely, the progress of cO-opera
tlon among the churches
Emphasis on Inner Life.
fhe third tendency in America to-
oay Is returning emphasis on the
inner life. There has been altogether
100 much of tendency to rely upon
legislation or political measures for
securing advance toward a better
human life. We have learned now,
II we never knew before that il is i'm
possible to get golden conduct out of
leaden motives" "
Declaring that prohibition already
had achieved great good in this coun-
Try, DIR. Cadman asserts that moth
lng Is clearer than that the real sue
cess OF this great social undertaking
WI be determined by the extent to
Which we are able TO educate the in
diVldual conscience and train the in
diVidual will in habits of self-control."
