motor and a Palm Beach villa,
where he often is permitted to
mingle almost on terms Of equality
with the banking barons," the au-
thor said
Most universities and colleges IN
the United States are divorced from
reality, he said.
These and the American musical
emporiuns, schools for teaching OF
theology, plumbing, and sign paint

DROUGHT AID
PLAN IS DOLE,
SAYS TILSON
Democratic Proposal of
Huge Fund Played by
G. O. P. Leader
ASWELL DEFENDS SUM
Derides Remark That Red
Cross Can Take Care
of Relief.
BvUnited Press

WASHINGTON, Dec. II. - The
cry of Dole" was raised by Repub-
lican Floor Leader John @. Tilson
in opening the administration fight
In the house today against the $780,
100000 senate drought relief bill.
Tilson said the provision for loans
Tor purchase of human food is moth
ing but a dole. He denounced it as
American and as establishing a
dangerous precedent.
The floor leader approved the pro-
visions for loans to farmers in the
drought areas for purchase of seed,
fertilizer, and livestock feed, but said
there is a very sharp dividing line"
between such loans, which have
been made before, and the new pro-
posal for food loans.
Expresses Opposition
The bill was not before the house
today. but Tilson took the occasion
to express the administrators op-
position in advance. The measure
is expected to come up next week.
The Republican floor leader did
not discuss, either the difference in
the appropriation made by the SEN
ate, $60,000,000, and that approved
by the house agriculture committee,
which was $30,00O,OOO President
Hoover had asked only $25,000,O0O.
The senate met briefly today and
adjourned out of respect to Senator
Overman of North Carolina, who
died here Thursday night.
Leave 1t to Red Cross
Tilson said the Red Cross was
organized to care for the distressed.
Replying to Tilson, Representa-
tive Aswell Dem, Lao, sponsor OF
Of a .$60,0o0,000 bill with the food
loan provision such as the senate
passed, said the floor leaders cry
of dole" is such stuff as we have
been hearing ever since congress
met"
Aswell was given an opportunity
to speak upon insistence of Demo-
cratic Floor Leader Garner.
The Louisiana member said his
bill with the food provision included
originally was approved by President
Hoovet's' drought relief committee
and also by Secretary of Agriculture
Hyde, who, Aswell said, was very
enthusiastic about the bill before
the election.
The senate bill and his, Aswell de-
clared. provide merely for loans that
absolutely are necessary.
Assails TiIson's Cry
THE farmer will have to mort
gage his next years crop and the
labor of himself, his wife and chill
dren to make another CROP" he said.
You will drive the farmer away
from the farm to join the millions
of unemployed in the cities"
He described as astounding" Til
sons suggestion that the Red Cross
could feed the drought-stricken
farmers, declaring that the Red
Cross, according to President Hoo
yer, now has only $4,50O,OOO for re-
lief work

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The
controversy between Bishop Will
liam T. Manning and former
Judge Ben B. Lindsey was re-
newed today, as they prepared to
go to court where the latter will
answer charges in connection with
his election from the Cathedral of
ST, John the Divine last Sunday.
It was expected the issue this
afternoon would revolve around
the principle of whether interup-
ton of a religious service was
justified.
Bishop Manning, Subpenaed by
Arthur Garfield Hays, Lindsey's
attorney, has been instructed to
bring into court a marked copy Of
Lindsey's book on companionate
marriage, which was sent to him
before his sermon Sunday.

admired heroes, even with Henry
Ford, Herbert Hoover or Colonel

He condemned the usual courses
in literature at American univer-
sites.
American professors like their
literature clear, cold, pure and very
dead" Lewis said. Criticism in the
United States, despite a wealth Of
talent, sis a chill activity pursued by
jealous spinsters, former baseball
reporters and acid professors"
