'Letup May Be Disaster to
Winters Plans Brown

mounted to 85.4 per cent Of the
goal as workers at the Claypool
today reported additional sub
scriptions of $88,931.37, bringing
the total to $739, 078.75.
Forecasting that today's report
meeting would bring the Community

Success of the forecast was given
impetus with the announcement this

Wednesday night to insure the
drives success. Excluding Williams
gift, drive workers must obtain
$214,752.62 to hit the top of the

Included in the $685., 900 sought is
a deficit of $4,000 incurred during
the last year through increased ex-
penditures by relief agencies.
"Our goal represents barely a
minimum necessary to meet the Win
ter's demands due to unemploy-
ment," declared Arthur V. Brown
campaign chairman. 1.-THE slightest
let-up at this time may spell dis
aster to the drives success"
Employees of the board of school
commissioners, teachers, custodians
and other employees, have contrib
uted $16,500 to the fund, an increase
of 81 per cent over last years gift
and an average of $3.50 a person.

ported.
A report meeting Tuesday night

Carroll jEERS
CENSOR FROM
BOSTON PULPIT
No Covering So Beautiful
as Bare Leg of Girl,
Says Producer.
OFFICIAL FIGHTS BACK
Show Not Only Without
Stockings, but Without
Costumes, He Says.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
BOSTON, Oct. 27.-Earl Carroll
was a preacher for a day, Sunday.
The "Vanities" and Sketch Book"
producer accepted an offer to use the
pulpit of the Charming Unitarian
church in Dorchester to carry on his
private war with John NJ. Casey, city
censor, and others who would make
his chorus girls wear more than
they do.
God made beautiful legs, and I
am sure no covering could be as
beautiful as the bare leg of a girl"
Carroll said from the pulpit, pre-
ferring to Casey's dictum that
Sketch Book" girls appearing in
Boston must wear tights.
II like to think of my God as
God with a sense of humor. The
hardest thing in the world to create
is a laugh.
Censor Destroys Laugh
''Mr. Casey destroys laughs, but
he doesn't give me one for each one
he eliminates. am sure my God
has a sense of humor. If he didn't
he could never have created so
many of us.
"Mr. Casey comes to the theater
to destroy. He comes to the theater
to track down the 'hells' and
'damns' and all the other petty
things which a ridiculous law says
must not be done or said in the the
ater."
Casey had his say later.
Il will not allow that man Car
roll to stand up in pulpit and hold
me up to ridicule while he attempts
to gloss over the truth" the censor
said at his home.
Savages Wear More
II shall tell the whole truth of
the matter" Casey declared, "and
the truth is this:
His girls arrived not without
stockings, but without costumes.
Even the Savages wear more of a
covering than his girls wear. 1t is
consummate nerve for him to try to
tell decent people in church that
I censored his show only for lack
of stockings. He knows very well
that I would allow his girls to ap-
pear without stockings if they wore
decent costumes.
Boston does not ban bare legs,
but it does ban indecency."
Casey said he did not object to
the word hell" when it is used "as
Such,' but said he did object when
it is used to emphasize and throw
the spotlight on filth and sex in
decency so that not even a child
could miss it,
Tights Not Demanded
The censor added that he would
allow girls in Florenz Ziegfelds
shows to appear without tights if
the producer wished.
Providing the girls are decently
costumed," he said, they can ap-
pear without stockings. However, as
I understand it, Mr.. ziegfeId prefers
that his girls wear stockings, but
that is for him to decide"

is the handicap now facing city Of

program.
March 1 Scheduled Date
March l is the scheduled date for
the next distribution of gasoline
tax moneys. Because the state
highway department was permitted
to borrow 81, 500, 900 from this fund,
it is doubtful if any advance can be

Several city department heads are
considering cutting down full-time
working hours to provide additional
employment at regular wages. 1t
has been agreed at city hall that
municipal departments will not pay
less than 35 cents an hour for COM
mon laborers.
According to dispatches from
Washington, $3.50, 100000 in bond
issues will be voted on Nov. 4
throughout the nation for pubic
works to relieve unemployment.

WAR COMING,
ITALY Warned
BY MUSSOLINI
World Wide Moral Fight on

Premier Says.
THREAT ON FRONTIERS
Admits Peninsula Is Big
Armed Camp Marching
to Greater Tomorrow
BY HOWARD STORRER
United Press star Corresnondent

ROME, Oct. 27.-Premier Benito
AIussolint summoned italy today to
meet "a worldwide moral war
against Fascism.
"A state Of moral war against Fas-
cism already exists" the premier
told Fascist executives assembled in
Venice palace.
Is this not preparation for a
military war? Preparations for a
material war are being hurried on
our frontiers"
The premier, with customary vigor
and direct speech, struck the key
note for the anniversary of the Fas-
cist march on Rome by declaring
the scope Of the battle had become
universal
Fight Decadent World
I'VE fight a decadent world" he
said, predicting future Europe in
spired by Fascist doctrines and a
future Italy gaining steadily in
youthful spirit.
"Italy's vanguard Of tomorrow al
ready is ready.
The eliminating inventions
against Fascism are war weapons, -
said Ndussolini. Soon it will be said
we have cut off the hands of babies,
as it was said of the Germans in
although there was no trace
of those babies.
Anything to increase hatred Of
Fascist Italy-a hatred which is
preached to millions and millions of
individuals. It is the counter revo-
lutiOnary hatred of the reactionary."
Alarm Sounded to Italy
Holding up a pamphlet, the pre-
mief shouted.
Here are noted day by day, the
military preparations of the years
1927 28-29-30 against Italy before
my speeches at Florence and Milan, ~
after which the premier was &C
eused of ''sword-rattling. s~ -~-~
Here is a list of batteries and
ornaments prepared. Could I delay
sounding the alarm to the Italian
people2
Naturally, those whose masks
were torn off sought to represent
Italy as the only danger to Europe's
peace-the only wolf nation among
a herd of pacific sheep.
Recently a foreign writer after
seeing one of our air squadrons,
said NIussolini, described Fascist
Italy as follows:
Immense Military Camp
Today the peninsula is an i'm
mense camp in which millions OF
men are lining up silently on land,
sea and in the sky; in schools. Stad:a
and churches for a great sacrifice
Of life for regeneration of their race
for a great battle which may occur
tomorrow or never. One hears the
muffled noise of immense marching
legions
Exactly Fascist Italy is an i'm
nlense legion, marching toward a
greater tomorrow. Nobody can stop
her.
In 1882, fifty battalions of Black
Shirts will meet here with $4,000
young fascists and 5000 flags. Rome
will see the greatest armed assembly
IN 5000 years OF its history.
Defends Fascist Regime

Gang War On

When South Second Street rum

changes to a battlefield with shot
guns and automatics blazing the
wrath of rival gangs.
The battle RACES until ammuni-
ton gives out and gangs go back
to restock so that they can finish
in a style that would do justice to
Chicago. But the battle was tenn
porarily stopped when a fire a few
blocks off occupies the attention
of both gangs, and the battle was
not resumed until Sunday night.
Police rounded up two northside
gangsters, but the southside prin-
cipals escapes, and now Second

young would-be racketmen in con-
troll.
Second Streets happens to be
one of the worlds most unique
