One Great City Looms
Under Regional
N. J. Plan

IRVINGTON, N. j., Sept. "a.
Herman B. Walker, secretary of
the New Jersey State Regional
Planning Commission, told the
Kiwanis Club here that North
New Jersey residents would
have to make a choice between
regional government and con-
solidation of all the municipali-
ties of the five largest counties
into a single great city. He
said:
Creation of county-cities to
reduce overhead costs of local
government may be necessary,
but even if we should have a
greater Newark, a greater
Paterson, a greater Jersey City
and a greater Bergen City,
these consolidated municipali-
ties would still need the re-
gional plan to provide them
with water supplies, trunk sew
ers and systems of rapid transit.

With approximately $50 mem.
bers in attendance, the ASsocia-
ton of Practitioners before the
Interstate Commerce Commission
convened for a two-day session at
the Mayflower Hotel just before
noon today, and heard the presi-
dent of the organization, former
Representative John j. Esch Of
Wisconsin, and a former chair
man of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, inveigh against the
numerous Investigations that Con.
gress imposes upon the commits
sion without providing adequate
expense funds.
Former Commissioner Esch said
Congress, in recent years, has
called upon the Interstate Com
merce Commission for a number
of reports, but meanwhile ne
elected to supply funds therefor,
with the result that the commits
sion's small staff was over-worked.
Mr.. Esch also predicted that the
bus systems in this country have
now grown to such proportions
that within a short time the
regulation Of interstate busses,
their schedules and fares, must
be submitted to the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

CHURCHRENEWS
DIVORCE ROW

DENVER, Sept. "a G.N.sJ
The controversy over divorce con
tinued to rage today at the fif'
tieth triennial general convention
of the American Protestant Epis,
copal Church, with indications
attempts to liberalize the divorce
canon would fail.
Adoption of a resolution by
the house of deputies, providing
for establishment of an ecclesi-
astical marriage court, means the
divorced Episcopalian who wishes
to be remarked will have to
state his case before church
court in future. The house of
bishops was expected to vote its
approval.
Another resolution was passed
requiring presentation of medi-
cal certificate before marriage,
but this was reconsidered and de-
feated.

Comptroller General McCarl at
Washington was in receipt of a
telegram today from Representa-
tive F. H. LaGuardia demanding
that the Government hold up all
payments on Federal contracts in
volving the use of steel.
He asserted the reduction in
employees pay violated all such
contracts given out, as they were
made under the implied cove
nant" that wages existing when
the contracts were let would be
maintained.

AKRON, O., Sept. "a GNSO,
The stamp of success was today

labor has discharged its obi
CATION and maintained the
pledge which it made to the
President.
"It is stated that this 10 per
cent reduction forced upon the
employees of the United States
Steel Corporation will mean a
saving of $25,OOO,OOO. That
means the employees of the
United States Steel Corporation
will have S25,OOO,OOO less to
spend.
"Their purchasing power will
be $25,OOO,OOO less. Can reason
able-minded people believe that
a return to prosperity will be
accelerated through a reduction
of the buying power of one sec.

$4,000, ,OOO?'

John A. Petty, president of the
Livingstone Heights Civic League,
in a statement today assailed the
Republican organization of Ar
lington county for it's refusal to
cooperate with the Better Govern
ment League.
The action. he said. indicates
party attempt to force upon
voters a full slate for the county
board. He added:
Such an intention can hardly
be expected to meet with the
approval of the rank and file
of the voters. whose sole hope
and desire is to secure a county
board composed of men of
character. integrity and suf-
ficient mental qualifications"

ration is a violation of a solemn
promise made to the people of the

today.
He recalled the assurances given
