BUSINESS SAFE.
AD MEN TOLD

An economic council operating
along the line of the Federal re-
serve bank system, should be es-
tabliShed by business men of the
country as means of keeping it's
fingers on the pulse of business
and as means of protecting
against sudden slumps, Ogden L.
Mills. undersecretary of the Treas
ury, last night told the American
Association of Advertising Agen-
cieS at the Mayflower Hotel.
At this time, the speaker said,
we are passing through a period
of depression, but have the basis
Of prosperity within our grasp.
He likened business to q ma
chine, declaring that we do not ex.
pect an engine to operate at full
speed at all times, but know that
it must be given rest periods. Busi-
ness, he said, is in one of those
rest periods at this time, but will
speed up again in the near future
The average merchant, he ad-
ded, takes the banner year as a
oGoA4A4cb4N 4dGIAC1 C1IdII 01l average
business year. This, he indicated,
is responsible for much of the talk
about undue business depression.
A check-up would reveal, he as
serted, that business is not far be-
hind the average year that should
be used as a basis for compilation
OF figures on probable earnings in
the next year.
Kenneth Collins, executive vice
president of Macy & Co., of New
York, said that the retail adver.
tiser must specialize in his adver.
tising in the matter Of considera-
tion of the needs of the commun.
ity served by his advertising me-
dunn.
The business man, the speaker
declared, must establish branch
stores in order that he may get
the full benefit of the money ex-
pended in advertising his goods.

FACES CERTAIN

LINES HOLD
Retention of Flexible Clause
or Debenture to Throw It
Back to Locked Conference

The cate of the year-old tariff
bill W. at stake today as q
Democratic Insurgent coalition
sought to pledge the Senate anew
to repeal President Hoover's flex
ible tariff powers and retain the
debenture form Of farm relief in
the measure.
II the coalition wins the tariff
bill IL: be thrown back into con.
ference between the House and
Senate, already deadlocked over
these items. It's future then will
be extremely uncertain with a
strong possibility Of defeat.
Both Sides Pass Buck
The Republicans meanwhile will
charge the coalition with killing
it while the coaitionists accuse
the administrative of slaughter
ing it } the President may retain
his present power of raising and
lowering tariff duties.
House and Senate have been
deadlocked on these two issues
from the start Of the tariff wars.
The House on two occasions re-
jected the debenture and voted
to continue the Presidents fleX-
ible powers. Twice also, the Sen
ate has adopted the debenture
and repealed the flexible Prov
sion.
The tariff confereeS have never
even debated these items officially
since the House members were
directed not to yield and the
Senate's members had instruc-
tions rot to discuss arbitratirg
them.
PreSSue on Senate
All talk of the administration
leaders has been of having the
Senate yield. This has angered
coalition leaders. who argue the
House should yield, since the ad-
mini5tration controls it.
The administration now faces
the test of getting that assent,
surrendering to the coalition by
reversing the Houses attitude, or
abandoning the bill.

HOOVER FIGHTS
FOR PARKER
~ GEORGE r. HOLMES

Not only has President Hoover
repulsed every suggestion that he
withdraw the Supreme Court
nomination Of John J. Parker,
but he has launched a quiet but
determined campaign to obtain
his confirmation by a hostile
Senate.
He has flung himself personally
and the tremendous weight of the
White House influence Squarely
behind the effort to overcome the
Senate's undoubted hostility to
the North Carolinian. Moreover,
he is hopeful Of success before
the Senate adjourns.
Taking Own Poll
Dissatisfied with the polls
taken by Republican leaders, who
have counSelled withdrawal of
the name, Mr.. hoover is having
his own polls ta.sen almost daily.
Earlier polls showed that if the

Representative Dempsey (R.> Of
New York, chairman Of the
Rivers and Harbors Committee,
predicted the bill would be sent
to the Senate before night.
Although generally satisfactory
because it provides for projects
lin all parts Of the country, the
bill is assailed by two groups.
The bills proposal to take over
the Erie and Oswego canals from
New York State is attacked as an
entering wedge in favor Of the
proposed all-American sea level
canal from the Great Lakes to
New York Harder in preference to
the Great Lakes st. Lawrence
waterway.

DRY UNIT SHIFT
IS APPROVED

fer the prohibition unit from the
Treasury to the Department Of
Justice was unanimously ap-
proved today by the Senate Judi
ciary Committee. It had been
endorsed by President Hoover,
the Wickersham Commission and
Attorney General Mitchell.
The committee voted to report
the measure to the Senate with
a recommendation for immediate

week.
One important amendment was
added, giving the Attorney Gen

The third circuit includes Penn.

REPROOF GIVEN
FOR QUARREL
WITH BISHOP
Episcopal Minister. Had Wed
Catholic Girl; Ceremony
Was Performed by Priest

LEXINGTON. KY, April as.
The Rev. Julius A. Velasco and
his Catholic bride, the former
Catherine Rogers, Of Ellicott
City. Md, left here happy and
triumphant today for Dayton,
where Velasco has a small parish.
The Episcopal Church court, be-
fore which Velasco was being
tried, yesterday upheld his right
to marry a Catholic. Such action
was not a violation of his pre-
ordination pledge to the Rt. Rev.
H. p. Almon Abbott, bishop Of
L 1gton diocese, nor of his or
dination vows, the court ruled.
An "admonition" for issuing
defamatory statements about his
bishop during the marriage con-
troverSy was recommended by the
court. however. This is the light
est possible punishment that is
outlined in the canons Of the
church.
, OVeEFIOeS COmm1GLee
The court overrode the con-
tention of the standing COM
mittee Of the diocese that it had
kept in effect a pledge required
of VelaSco as a condition before
his ordination that he would re-
sign his orders if he ever married
a Catholic.
The five clergymen comprising
the court ruled against the con-
tention by the prosecutor that
for an Episcopal rector to marry
a Catholic is Of itself a violation
of his ordination VOWS. The in
dictment in the case had been
amended to set forth specifically
this theory.
Misconduct Charged
The supplemental charge that
VelaSco was guilty Of conduct
unbecoming a clergyman in the
controversy that resulted from
his marriage dealt with q series
of newspaper statements issued
by the rector and Bishop Abbott.
It took the court, which was
comprised of five rectors in the
diocese, exactly two hours to
reach it's verdict. Concurrence
of four Of the five was necessary
to return a verdict Of guilty on
any count. Members refused to
make known the vote on the
major counts Of the indictments.
VelaSco took the hand of his
bride, who had remained with
him through the two-day trial, as
the verdict was announced. AS
the Rev. Franklin Davis, Dan
vile, read the preamble Of the
verdict Velasco sat rigidly, intent
on every word. Davis paused
after reading-"on charge No.
l the finding Of the court-not
guilty"
Pair Are Happy
A fleeting smile played across
Mr.. Velasco's face, and he
squeezed his wife's hand. His
wife relaxed, for the first time in
two days. She leaned against
him, happily, while the presiding
Judge of the court continued with
the reading Of the verdict.
At the end, before either We
lasco or his wife could say more
than word to each other, their
friends were around them, with
congratulations.
Went for Bride
The Velasco case began January
rs, when the rector, 81 years old,
who had been an ordained priest
of the Episcopal Church for only
three months, went to Maryland
to wed Miss Rogers, whcm he
|courted in the days when he was
preparing for the ministry. Her
mother is a Catholic while her
father is an EpiScopalian
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. Michael A.
Ryan, a Catholic priest, at Ellicott
City, after, it was said. two Epis
copal clergymen refused to offici.
