BY EDWARD L. DEUSS

MOSCOW, Feb. 18 0.N.SD.-
A sharp warning to the world at
large to refrain from interference
in the Soviet Russian Govern
ment's policy toward religion was
delivered by the semi-official
newspaper, Izvestia. today.
The warning is believed to have
been prompted by the statements
made y various religious leaders
throughout the world condemninq
the anti-religioniSt campaign OF
the Soviet Government. 1t fol
lowed a demand made in tie
magazine, The Goddess One, Off,
cial organ of the Moscow God,
less League, that every church
still open in the capital be shut
down Immediately.
In ,'istling terms the IzVeStia
warned that the Soviets will toler-
ate no interference whatever IN
their campaign against religion.
I'VE confess all the sins aScribed
to us" the Izvestia declared.
''Laborcrs Of the u. S. S. r. are
actually constructing a state with
out God. That Is our right.
We will hold any and all for
eign governments responsible for

PAPER

Flat declaration that Mai. Gen.
Herbert B. Crosby is ineligible to
become Commissioner of the
District OF Columbia is contained
in the current issue Of the Army
and Navy Register, leading SER
vice weekly of the country.
So sweeping is the editorial ex-
preston Of the Register on the
point that retired Army officer
is not a civilian within the mean
ing OF the law that doubt is cast
upon the prospect that President
Hoover will carry out his an
nounced intention of sending
General Crosby's nomination to
the Senate when he retires next
month.
Cites Six Decisions
Even if the nomination is sent
to the Senate. the Register as
seTtS, 1t Is beyond comprehen-
$ IN" o service officers that the
senate win ever, confirm the,
nomination.
. Six decisions of Comptroller.
General McCarl on the point at
issue--that a retired officer is
ineligible to accept a Federal
office which calls for a civilian
under the laW-are cited on be-
half of the Registers contention.
Other court decisions also are
cited, and the assertion is made
that military arl oa1,v roo~
here not only regard President
Hoover's action in choosing Gen
eral Crosby as hasty and ILL
advised, but think it certain
that it will have to be revoked.
Citizen to Meet
Several local organizat ions will
be represented at an executive
meeting to be held tomorrow
afternoon at 4 o'clock in the
offices of the Washington Cham
Der of Commerce, when the ap-
pointment of General Crosby as
District Commissioner will be dis

The meeting tomorrow is a
follow.up of a meeting held last
Wednesday under the auspices
Of the Washington Board of
Trade. when opposition to the
appointment of General Crosby
was expressed.
Among organizations which will
be represented tomorrow are the

will be another "a hours before
President CASTOR Doumergue will
be in a position to decide who
shall be asked to form a new
government to succeed that of
Andre Tardieu. the French preSi-

Emerging from the presidential

Fernand BouiSson, president of

president made the following
statement:

POincare Seen as Choice
The greatest Importance is at
tached here to the conference
which the president will hold with
former Premier Poincare this
afternoon.
There is much speculation as to
whether the visit will result in
M. Doumergue asking M. Poin-
care to attempt to form a new
government or whether he will
merely consult with him in an
advisory capacity.

SOLVE JAM
|NSENATE

President Hoover appealed to
his party leadership in Congress,
especially the Senate, to- day to get
together and speed up the general
legislative program, now menaced
by the log.jam in the Senate over
the tariff.
Assembling Senate and House
leaders around the White House
breakfast table. the President
canVaSSed the situation with them
for nearly two hours, with particu.
lar emphasis upon the desirable.
ity of the Senate's passage of the
tariff bill at the earliest possible
moment.
Continued delay in enacting the
tariff law. the President is said to
have pointed out, can. result in
prolonging the apprehension of
business generally, and contribute
to unsettled conditions.
Just what can be done about
the situation however. was mol
apparent.
Mr.. Hoover also pointed out to
his guests that unless the jam
in the Senate can be cleared suf-
ficiently for it to pass some ap.
preparation bills within the next
month. the Government is going
to find itself broke" by the
middle of March.
Legislative cooperation is par
ticularly DESTROYS at this time, he
pointed out, because the Govern
ment has recently embarked
upon some emergency building
projects as part of the expan-
sion program following the Stock
market collapse, and unless there
Is money in the Treasury to meet
current bills it may be found
necessary to lay off from 10000
to 10000 men now working on
those projects.
Hurting Business

Representative Tilson of Connect.

House. contented himself with .e.

on the tariff is adversely affect

And Representative Smell tRD
of New York. chairman of the
Rules Committee, echoed some
hopelessness when he said:
so long as the coalition Tin
surgents and Democratsl are in
control of the Senate. there is
little the Administration can Go
to remedy the situation"
