BASLE, Switzerland. July 6.-(P)-
A movement begun several years
ago for relief Of Protestant churches
in war torn Europe will be adj
vanced further at the second Beth
esda conference here August %
"a.
Following the world conflict, Prot
estant churches of Europe were i'm
poverisked and disorganized. The
Swiss Protectant federation, at the
suggestion Of the Federal Council
Of the Churches Of Christ in Ameri-
ca. called a conference for their re-
lief at the Bethesda house in Copen-
hagen.
From that meeting, with rs rep
resentatives Of 81 religious bodies
and 81 countries attending, grew
the Central Bureau Of Relief Of the
Evangelical Churches Of Europe. An
American office was opened in New
York. with DR.. Chauncey w. Good
rich in charge. The Rev. Kenneth
D. Miller succeeded DR.. Goodrich in
1925.
One great problem facing the con-
ference this year is the question Of
sustenation. The churchmen hope
to find a plan that will not leave
the churches unprepared in event of
another crisis.

FRIDAY MUSIC CLUB PROGRAM.
A program of varied music, much of
It beautiful, was presented yesterday
before the members of the Friday Morn

group was given by Dorothy Radde

heard only the energetically brilliant

SENATORS PREPARE
FOR CRUISER VOTE
Principal Dispute Still Gen.
tiers Around Time Clause,
as Decision Nears.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
With limitation of debate at hand
supporters and opponents of the cruiser
bill were looking forward today to the
final vote expected early next week.
Thus far, no proposal to reduce the
number of cruisers to be built has been
made and the fight on the measure has
centered around the time clause re-
curing that construction of the Is
vided for begin by 1881. President
Coolidge has asked elimination of the
time clause, but the group led by
Chairman Hale of the naval affairs
committee wants the measure passed
practically as it now stands. Hale is
confident that he has the strength to
put the. bill through without material
change. This would eliminate the
necessity for a conference with the
House, where the measure was passed
last year. but the President might veto
it. In that case there would be a de-
termined attempt to pass 1t over his
veto.
Most of the opposition to the present
bill has come from a group OF Western
Senators, headed by Senators Borah of
Idaho and Norris of Nebraska. They
were joined yesterday by Senator Har-
rison, Democrat, Mississippi. who argued
that the construction program should
be placed in the hands of the incoming
President as weapon of diplomacy
to force other nations to look favorably
on further disarmament proceedings.
Through the discussion of the cruiser
bill there has run mention of Great
Britain and her naval strength. Sup
porters of the bill have argued that
this country's naval strength was below
that. of England, and have declared
that country would be more inclined to
seek naval disarmament If the United
States made 1t plain that she intended
to have naval parity.
On the other hand. those who want
the time clause eliminated have con-
tended that passage of the cruiser bill
as it now stands just after the ratiflca-
ton of the Kellogg treaty would have
bad effect, and have declared that leav-
ing construction of the cruisers in the
hands of the President would give hlm
a lever to use in efforts for further
naval disarmament. Opposition to the
authorization of the cruisers has been
negligible and Senator Borah: with
others, has declared that he would vote
for the measure If the time clause were
eliminated. Limitation of debate goes
into effect Monday.
