RUSSIAN ATHEISTS
TO PUSH CAMPAIGN
U. S. and British Churches
Pray for Relief of Christians
in Red Land.
By the Associated Press correspondent.

BY the Associated Press Correspondent.
MOSCOW, March 17.-While mil
lions in other lands prayed yesterday
for Russians legions of Christian faith
ful, the Militant Atheist Society of Rus
STA, the League of the Goddess. pre-
pared for a more intensive assault
against God and the churches during
the approaching Easter period.
The Russian government itself, how
ever. has noticeably moderated its at
titude toward religion. 1t now dis
countenances the forcible closing of
churches or the tearing down of
church bells without the consent of
the overwhelming majority of the popu-
latton and the formal sanction OF the
central government authorities.
Stain Is Strict.
Even so great an atheist as Joseph
Stain, the strong man of Russia" has
issued strict orders that any Communist
party worker or village Soviet official
found guilty of using violent methods
in the party's fight against religion
shall be severely punished.
All Moscows churches were we'll at
tended at services yesterday, the gov
eminent having at no time attempted
to prevent individuals from freely TAX
ing part in their religious rites.
Most Christians here, however, see a
dark future for their faith II the gov
eminent continues to carry out its pres
ent plan of forbidding the teaching of
a religious faith to those under the
age OF 10.
Death Is Held Certain.
They say that if this is enforced it
literally spells the doom OF the church
in Russia, especially since the Com
munist party and the government are
entirely atheistic. No person may enter
the Communist party unless he for
swears God and religion.
Since the agitation abroad against
the government for its anti-religious
views has assumed such imposing pro-
portions throughout the world there
has been a perceptible change in the
atheists plan a warfare against the
church. Fearing punishment at the
hands of the government authorities II
they go too far, they now conf1ne their
activities exclusively to disseminating
anti-religious propaganda and teaching
the peasants that good crops depend
not upon God, but upon their own
labor, good weather and proper methods
of cultivation.
The Militant Atheist Society an
nounced that it had concluded an
agreement yesterday for "Socialistic
competition" with an organization of
1000 atheists in the Ruhr district Of
Germany.

all that may be uncertain or exagger-

are beyond any possible doubt or ques-

inflicted are not prosecutions for re-

U. S. Conceded Victory Over
Italy for Right to
Challenge France.

BIZ United Press
PARIS, July 15.-Interzone Da-
Wis cup competition between the
United States and Italy today held
interest chiefly as test of the
youthful American teams chances
of lifting the priced international
trophy now held by France.
Tennis critics believed the Ameri-
can team was certain to defeat
Italy and advance to the challenge
round, but were doubtful about the
United States ability to end
Frances three-year reign as Davis
cup champion.
George Lott, John Doeg, Wilmer
Allison and John Van Ryn, who we're
named Monday as the American
team for interzone competition,
practiced today under the direction
of Coach Karel Kozeluh, world pro-
feSsional champion; Captain Fitz-
Eugene Dixon and William Tilden.
Drawings for the interzone final
will be held Thursday, with two
singles matches being played Fri
day, the doubles Saturday and the
two final singles matches Sunday.
It is believed that Lott and Doeg
will be nominated for singles play
and that Allison and Van Ryn will
appear exclusively in the doubles.
If the United States clinches vic
tory before the final day Allison
may be given an opportunity to
compete in the singles Sunday.
Baron Demurpurgo, G. Destafani
and P. Gaslini are expected to rep
sesent Italy.

ing the returns from indianapolis.
Nachand Doubles
Going into the ninth Monday.
Van Alstyne had shutout in sight
when Nachand opened with dou-
BILE and Narlesky made a bad throw
after scooping up Branoms
grounder, placing Nachand on third
and Branom on first. I,ayne forced
Branom, Nachand scoring. Camel
walked. Layne advanced to the hot
corner on Olivares' sacrifice fly and
the bases were filled when Autry
drew pass, but Van Alstyne re-
fused to crack and Penner forced
Autry for the game-ending out.
Bill Narlesky again was an i'm
portant factor in the Tribe triumph,
polling three hits, sacrificing once,
scoring once and being responsible
for three other markers. His single
in the third drove in two mates and
in the fifth he scored Hoffman with
a base knock. On the defense the
new inf1elder made a great play on
Olivares' hot shot in the fifth and
turned it into a two-ply killing to
retire the side as Branom's dash
across the plate was wasted.
Camel Out at Plate
And in the seventh, with Camel
on second and Olivares on first
with two out, Autry bounced an
inf1eld hit toward third, and when
Narlesky barely touched it, Camel
turned the hot corner and sprinted
for the plate, only to be nailed on
a close decision when Narlesky
made a quick recovery and tossed
to Sprinz. 1t was lightning work.
Narlesky's timely hit in the third
upset Colonel strategy, Penner
walking Barnhart to fill the sacks
with two out. A single to right
shot off Bills bat, scoring Frazier
and Warstler. And Connolly, next
up, struck out.
