POLITICAL ACTS
OF CHURCH DRAW
BITTER FLAYINC
Rep. Tinkham Vigorously
DenOunces Activities of
Methodist Board
BY NATHAN ROBERTSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

! WASHINGTON, April 8. W.H-
I The fundamental american tenet
of separation of church and state
has been violated by the Methodist
Board of Temperance, Prohibition
and Public Morals and the Federal
Council of Churches, Representative
/ Tinkham, Republican, Massachu-
setts, charged before the senate
lobby committee today.
Tinkham, wet, asked the com
mittee to investigate the lobbying
activities of these two organizations
on prohibition and other public
! questions.
! The Massachusetts representative,
who is known also as an African
big game hunter, appeared before
the committee with Il voluminous
written statement but was not al
lowed to read it. Chairman Cara
i way pointed out other witnesses had
not been allowed to read prepared
statements.
! 1inkham declared the "plain in
, tent" of the Constitution was that
"church and state should be separ-
ate, the one not to interfere with
the other in order that religion
should be free from interference by
the state and that the United
States should not become a prey to
, the temporal power of any church."
"Thc Board of Temperance, Pro
! hibition and Public Morals of the
Methodist Episcopal church and the
Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America have set aside
entirely this principle" he said.
"They have asserted their right
to interest themselves as ecclesias-
teal organizations politically in all
moral questions.
There is hardly question or an
issue which cannot arbitrarily be
held to be a moral question or a
moral issue.
"If through coercion open or i'm
piled, and political action; direct or
indirect, on the part of nationally
organized church or nationally or
ganized churches; congress of the
I United States is subject to this dict
alton and this influence, no longer
do we have in the United States ex-
cept in form, "A representative dem
ocracy. We have in fact theo-
cracy, a government by the church.
i 81 believe that this committee can
render no greater public service
than to do its part toward a pub
lie exposure of the practices of
these organizations, in violation of
the principle of the separation of
church and state, so that their
! church constituencies, as well as the
public at large, may be Informed
and so condemn such practices"

CIVIC LEADERS
GIVE SUPPORT
TO AUDITORIUM

ga very cogent reason why Ell
Centre should vote bones and build
its auditorium today said Attor-
ney r. B. Whitelaw, chairman of
the auditorium committee, els be-
cause of the present low cost of
building due to a national slacke
ing of industry and building. Price
of labor and material has declined
greatly. In many cases the present
saving in building costs has been
estimated to be as great as 25 per
cent.
81 was impressed he said, "by
an article from the pen of James l..
Davis recently appearing in the Los
Angeles Times. He referred to this
low cost Of building in the following
words: To-day the contract price
of the job is at its lowest point in
many years. Now, before it is too
late and prices rise, is the time to
make alterations and to build. Now
] is the time also to build income
, property for investment.
" This almost unprecedented
! condition has been brought about
by three factors: money for legiti-
mate building is plentiful. building
materials are at their lowest cost
generally in many years. and the
productiveness of skilled labor is
at its high point.
| "Money may be had at q and !
per cent without bonus charges
Building material prices are off 10
to 80 per cent on various items and
there are skilled workmen today
who will not frown upon the small
repair job but who will do it well
and in less time than it required
i'll past years.
"'Present conditions will not
continue long. Building material
men anticipate gradual price in
crease in coming months. When
prices have gone up, unless advan-
tage has been taken of present OPP
portunities, the property owner S
greatest chance in 10 years will
have been lost. "
"Many of FL Ccntro's most prom
inent and substantial citizens, in
cluding a number of the city's
largest property owners and tax
payers, have publicly endorsed the
auditorium measure, upon which
the people of FL Centre will vote
next Monday The need of pub
lie assembly building has been
pointed out in communications sent
to the voters by the auditorium
committee, as well as the manifold
purposes for which the building
could be utilized. 1t has been urged
that the increased tax for this
; auditorium will be negligible to the
average family during the 20-year
bond period, and that because of
the low building costs now prevail
ing and the fact that FL Centre is
not confronted with any immediate
large or important munlclpai or
public expenditure, that this is the
logical time to construct our audi
torium, when costs are lowest, ana
when thereby certain amount of
employment can he given men IN
the building trades. The commit
tee, with many other citizens who
have written letters and spoken on
the subject over the radio, have
told of the great advertising value
sNch building would be and nave
aeo pointed out its usefulness for
the cultural, educational ana f'er''
attohal advancement of the conn
lmlnity.'

Under the new system, the
graduate school will become a
thing of the past, with the under
graduate and graduate all worked
into one big system, divided in
new way, with five main sections,
each headed by a dean.
These five divisions will be: So
cial sciences, physical sciences,
biological sciences; humanities, to
include such subjects as philoso-
ply, art, religion and the Ian
guages, and the college.
Degrees will be awarded in the
upper divisions and the profess

The way for those of high de-

to find whether it is worth while.
In the upper divisions, the
classes will be smaller and the
teachers on closer terms with the

COMEBODY married some one

her theory.

Prince in Every Sense

PARIS, Nov 2O.-Archduke Otto
of Hungary, tutored in the ways of
kingship amid perjury rather than
in luxury, reached his 18-year-old
majority today, and the right to
claim the vacant throne of his
country.
Otto, at The age of 1S, is a prince
in every sense of the word. He is
slim and tall, with strong features
and healthy tanned skin, thanks
to long residence in the Basque
district of Spain
He has an engaging personality
and is very popular, both in Spain
and with his fellow students in the
University of Louvain, where he
has been enrolled.
Since his father, Charles " of
Austria, king of Hungary and Bo-

Otto has wandered from country to

owed mother.

she remains ambitious for her son.
Every one in the household of

with all the respect due a reigning
monarch.
He was tutored in the intricacies
of etiquette and diplomacy, although
the continued existence of Zita and
her eight children was due largely
to the aid of royal relatives.
European chancelleries believe
that if the attempt to seize the Hun
garian throne for Otto is not begun

Hungarian monarchists have sent

ing fealty and declaring readiness
to rally to his cause.
