Says Precepts Of
Masonry Opposed
To Religious Test

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-tR-Su-
preme Court Justice Townsend Scud-
der. q former New York state Grand
Master Of the Masonic order, in a let
ter made public today by democrat
ic national headquarters. declared
that a "Freemason il disloyal 10 his
order and betrays il who opposes
Governor Smiths election solely be-
cause the governor is a Catholic"
The letter was in answer to a tele-
gram from William Richie, Jr.,
Omaha. chairman Of Smith for presi-
dent clubs in Nebraska, asking the
Justice to state his reasons for sup
porting Smith.
There is no connection between
my Freemasonry, the governors
catholicism and my advocacy Of his
election as president" Justice Scud-
der wrote. "Freemasonry has no con-
cern with any mans religion other
than to xact of its members belief
in code and moral lives. Freemason-
~ has no concern with politics other
than to urge its members to be loyal
citizens, obedient to the laws of their
country. /. then, as a Freemason, am
bound 10 uphold the constitution and
the laws of my country. These for
bid n religious test as a qualification
for public office.
1T follows then that a Freemason
is disloyal to his order and betrays
il who opposes Governor Smiths
election solely because the governor
is q Catholic"
