for the Fascist party, reading carefully
prepared manuscript to the Reichstag
today, emphasized his party's belief
that Germany's salvation lies in abro-

he said was Immoral and hence void. !"
His announcement followed hours Of

become the last means of restoring Ger

1t would be crime, Strasser said,
first to set Germany's house in order
and then attempt to obtain revision Of
the Young plan.
"Once our finances are adjusted, the
world win whistle ct revision" he de-
clared.
The Fascist also said his party wanted
universal military training and compul-
sorry work by every citizen. Regarding
anti-Semitism, he added:

''We do not want persecution of the
Jews but we do demand elimination of
Jews from German life. We want Lead

Strasser demanded that the sending

CHURCH CONCLAVE
NAMES OFFICERS
Disciples of Christ Defer
Resolutions Until After
Elections.

Election Of new president Of the
United Christian Missionary Society
showed into the background other mat
tiers of less import to the Disciples
Of Christ today.
1t was believed that the election,
which comes during the midafternoon,
would hold up the report of the Reso-
tions Committee, which was deliberat-
ing behind closed doors early today, on
a broad platform of recommendations
which will decide the brotherhood's
stand on such vital questions as ma
tional prohibition and enforcement,
world peace, preparedness and questions
dealing directly with the internal af-
fairs OF the Christian Church.
Normally Is Predicted.
The selection of a president for the
Missionary Society Is a matter sought
with consequences Of serious import.
For the past 10 months, since Frederick
w. Burnham closed his 10-year admin
istration, the society has been guided by
Stephen j. Corey, first vice president.
Conditions during this period have
been rather unsettled, but with the con-
coded election of Mr.. Corey as the sue
ceeding permanent president return
to normally in the administrative af-
fairs Of the society was expected.
The International Convention Of the
Disciples will recess during the middle
Of the afternoon, when nominations for
president and other officers of the Mis-
sionary Society are brought before that
body in the Washington Auditorium.
After the election, the convention will
reaSsemble and resume elaboration OF
problems now before it.
Aside from this important election,
chief interest of the international con-
vention settled today on the anticipated
report of the Resolutions Committee.
Dry Resolution Expected.
james A. Crane, secretary of the
Board of Temperance and Social We'll
fare, will submit to the Resolutions
Committee later in the day recon-
mendations in support of national pro-
hibition which are believed to be among
the strongest that have come before a
church convention in recent years.
This resolution, along with others. will
be submitted to the convention for its
approval late today If opportunity is
found.
Emphasis again was placed on the
SO, 900, 900 pension reserve fund for
superannuated pastors, which the Dis
ciples of Christ will start raising with
the launching of Nationwide cam
paign on November 8. Lyman Pierce,
expert adviser to the pension fund trus-
tees and one of the men to whom the
potential success of the movement is
largely due, was the principal speaker
in its behalf today.

The Calvin Coolidges, who thought
they were arriving in Southern Cali
fornia in a most inconspicuous fash
ion yesterday, found themselves the cen
ter of a throng at the depot.
Every studio in the industry extended
an invitation for the former President
and his wife to visit its lots. At the

considered rather thin material at its
original presentation. Picked UP by a
second group of amateurs. because the
cast was trained and 1t was the easiest
thing TO hand, it had second show
ing. At this second showing was q
gentle with more perception than the
lads who first gave ia professional
for O song.
But Sheriff proved himself a genuine
Briton when 1t came to the gelatin YER
sion. He preferred TO sell for something
like as, 900 less to his own countrymen
TO keep the product sacred TO the B. ].
They have fun now and then on the
lots when scenes are being made, and

Bert, you were never funnier."
Can the compliments" was the
brusque retort. "Your gypsy winged
me-"
But they sewed him up and the scene
went on.
