FARM BILL VETO
SHAKES c. D. P.
HARMONY

Farm relief was dead as q Con-
gressional issue today-but In it,
death throes 1t apparently mas
achieved the immortality OF be,
coming a burning political issue to
confront. and possibly to confound,
the Republicans who, will meet In
Kansas City two weeks hence TO
nominate a Presidential ticket.
There was little doubt that farm
relief would be q paramount issue
at Kansas city after President
Coolidge's caustic and singing veto
OF the McNary -Haugen bill. There
was none at all today after the
Senate had sustained his veto only
by reason of the flip-flopping OF
votes. The veto and the vote on
sustaining it left sore spots on the
Republican side that will be a long
time healing.
Four Senator's "FIop''
The vote was so to 81. -Four
Senators. Curtis (R) of Kansas,
Sackett CR.) of Kentucky. Waterman
R.) of Colorado, and Fletcher CD
OF Florida, changed their votes, and
by this narrow margin enabled
President Coolidge to emerge a
victor in his biggest clash with
the Senate. Had these votes, orig
inally recorded for the bill. stood
fast on the veto question the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill would have been
passed by the necessary two-thirds,
and Mr.. Coolidge would have been
signally defeated again by the
Senate.
Curtis Is a candidate for the Re.
publican nomination. He is also
credited with being an aspirant for
the Vice Presidential nomination.
He il now in the position OF being
recorded on both sides of the Nc
ary-Haugen issue, having voted
originally for the bill. and then
voting to sustain the veto. He thus
becomes what the cynical and prac-
teal politicians in Washington call
available as a compromise candi-
date for either nomination at
Kansas City.
Curtis Explains Switch
The situation was so tense polite
ally that Curtis felt called upon to
explain his vote. as follows:
81 have always favored farm re-
Lief legislation as shown by my vote
for every farm relief measure voted
on in Congress since the war, and
by my action in offering two care
fully prepared measures which
would have given relief had they
been adopted. Much as sympa-
tIlize with the farmers and as much
as favor legislative relief for them,
as Republican leader of the Senate
on this vote / felt it my duty to
stand by the President"
None of the four Senators who
changed their votes are up for re-
election this year. None save Cur
It's gave any explanation of their
reasons for switching.
The fight over the agricultural
plank at Kansas City promises to
be bitter one, comparable perhaps
to the fight over the prohibition
plank by the Democrats at Houston.
The McNary- Haugenites, counselled
and advised by two such outstand-
ing Republicans as Vice President
Dawes and ex-Gov. Frank o. Low

JAZZ TO HAVE
DAY IN CHURCH,
SAYS BANDMAN
Congregations Need Thrill,
View of Washington
Blues YodIer.
By NEA Service

BIZ " EA service
TACOMA, Wash, Dec. 81. -
Church congregations of the future
may be entertained with music that
is jazz. The mighty church organs
may ring out with the boom-boom-
boom of blue harmonies. And the
now-forbidden Saxophone may pass
beyond the veStry.
Paul Tutmarc, Tacoma band
leader and Sweet-voiced blues
yodler of KMO, Tacoma, believes
that the day is coming when jazz
will go to church.
Church music is tagging behind
the spiritual and intellectual de-
velopment of the age, and there
must be a radical change if con-
gregations are to be built up" he
says.
1.-The greatest factor in religious
music should be the spiritual ex-
altation-the thrill-that comes
from rhythm. The greatest piece
of church music ever composed
the 'Hallelujah Chorus-getS its
tremendous appeal through its al
most Syncopated beat.
But nearly all other hymns grind
out slowly and wearily-with the ex-
ception, of course, of Onward Chris
tan Soldiers
"All fundamental native religions
depend upon the rhythm from TOM
toms. And our own Bible tells us
of how David, in this hour of hap
pineSS, leaped and danced before
the Lord. He couldn't have done
that to the tune of any Of our mod
ern church music.
There is no reason why the
church should not take advantage
of all the instruments. When or
CANS first were introduced into
churches there was a great uproar,
but now they are accepted.
THE time has come for the other
instruments to enter the church. y
Tutmarc does not profess to
know what the final form of church
music will be.
He feels, however, that it should
be evolved from all the forms OF

LEADER FLAYS
BIRTH CONTROL
'BOOTLEGCINC'
Declares Nation Must Blot
1t Out or Use Sane
Direction.
BY MAX STERN
Times STAFF Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21.-Birth
control information through boot
Logging or through legalized and in
telligent directing. -
This is Americas alternative, &C
cording to Mrs. Margaret Sanger,
leading birth control advocate, past
president of the American Birth
Control League, and now head Of
twenty-Slx birth control clinics in
the United States. She is now lee
turing in California.
Mrs. Sanger says that the present
session of congress will be asked to
legalize dissemination of contracep-
tive information through the mails,
now banned by Section 211 of the
penal code.
Already, she says, there is no le-
gal ban in twenty-four states, and
only two states, Connecticut and
New Jersey, forbid physicians to
give birth control advice. She says
birth control information should be
legalized and disseminated through
social workers agencies. Otherwise
ct becomes a Pandora'S box"
Points to Bad Results
1.-THE lid is off now" said Mrs.
Sanger. 1.-THE educated, welI-to-do
upper middle-class and artisan
groups are having controlled fam
lies. The casual, unskilled worker,
foreign-born, sub-normal and
feeble minded groups, the 'diSgenic'
groups, are either not practicing
birth control or, if they do, they
are 'bootlegging' it with bad results.
when you consider what rs
per cent of our births come from
these latter groups you realize how
important to Americas future is
this problem.
Our problem, of course, is eco
nomic. If Americas population in
creases in the next 200 years as fast
as it has in the past fifty years then
in 200 years the United States will
hold population equal to that of
the entire world, or 2,000,0O0,000
people.
"Our problem is also biological
Do we want our future citizens re-
cruited from the 100000 intel
lectuals or from the estimated
100000 of our mediocre, Subnor-
NAL and 'disgenic' groups, whose
families run from four to twelve
children each?
Groups Become Drag
More and more, unless birth con-
troll intervenes, these groups will
become a drag, sapping the energies
and vitality of the upper groups.
I'VE talk of peace pacts and world
peace. But no lasting peace is Sc
cure without settling first the popu-
lation problem. This problem is
acute in Poland, Austria, Germany
and other European countries in
spite of the World war. 1t is a
canker in japan. 1t will come to
America, unless intelligently direct
ed birth control is permitted"
