A re- port presented to the house of bishops by the joint committee on world and national problems. con- tained both a criticism and de- fense of the present liquor laws. It did not make any recommendations as to the solution of the problem. The 21 prominent members of the clergy and laity of the church who made up the. committee dealt with prohibition under the heading of iawlessness and said in their re- port:
 "Candor compels recognition on the part of all Christian people of the fact that much of the lawless- ness SO prevalent to-day arises now, as in the past. in connection with the necessity of control of the liquor trafiic." In the same para graph however the report adds. "It 10 a distorted view of conditions which lays at the door of the pro- hibition law too largely respofis- ability for the evils of lawiessness.

 VERY DIFFERENT WOMAN JUST NOW
Serum That Was Brought By Plane Has Almost Made a Complete Re- cOvery of Patient

Chicago, Sept 26-(UP)-Sci- ence and mother love have done wonders for Mrs Andrew Nelson. mother of six children, in the last three weeks. On Sept g an air plane landed at Municipal Airport with a supply of cortin, gland extract that is one of the two known treatments for Addison's Disease, with which Mrs Nelson was dying. The cortin had been To- cated in the laboratories of Dr Frederick Hartman at Buffalo by the United Press.

Connecticut will present an a1- most 100 per cent wet representa- ton in. the house and senate at Washington, D. C., when congress convenes in December. Congress man E. W. Goss of this city will be among the Connecticut vets. In fact, the only member of congress from this state who has not ex- pressed hmiself Is Congressman John Q. Tilson of New Haven, who so far has escaped having to place himself on record on the wet and dry question.
 With Congressman Goss of this city the other vets from Connec- ticut will include Senators Hiram Bingham and F. c. Walcott and Congressmen Augustine Lonergan of Hartford, William l.. Tferney of Stamford and Richard Freeman of New London. MT. Tilson of New Haven will be the only lone 'hold out" that Connecticut will have to offer.
 But it is believed that Congress man Tilson will be forced to come out and declare his views soon. His district has just as much wet sentiment as any other of the five Connecticut districts. It is known that MT. Tilson has strong wet views but is refraining from mak- ing a statement because of his closeness to President Hoover and

 BUT GIVES ALL
 THE LOOT AWAY
He Got $45 and Gave $44 of It to Woman and Sl to the Church

Crown Point, Ind Sept .26-(UP) Lake county authorities were puzzled today by Perry Swank, a 15-year-old boy accused of killing man for $45, then giving $44 of the money to an unwed mother and contributing the other dollar to a church fund. Swank was in- idicted by the grand jury on charges of murdering Eugene Duckworth, an aged filling station attendant. Arraignment was or- dered for next Monday. Among the witnesses before the grand jury was Miss Alma Long,. 21-year-old un- wed mother who moved to the Swank home after her baby was born six weeks ago.
 Miss Long, Hammond nurse, said that after holding up and killing Duckworth, Perry gave her $44 of the loot, then went to church and calmly dropped his remaining dollar into the collec- ton plate. She said Swank ad- mitted that he killed Duckworth because Duckworth resisted rob bery. Police said, however, there was evidence Duckworth did not resist. The young mother said Perry was not the father of her child and that she had known him only a few months.

Add to that the payrolls of teachers in hundreds of other cities, thousands of towns and villages and the occasional little red school house in the country, and a total we'll above the $1,ooo.ooo,ooO mark is reached.
 School teachers, the survey re- vealed. are in most instances re- ceiving as much or more money than they ever did. Salary cuts have been offset by annual increas- es. Additional teachers employed swell the budget totals.
 In Chicago. a peculiar situation exists. While the city's budget for teachers salaries reaches $sS,- 000,000 for 10 months, no cash, is on hand to pay them. They are being paid in scrip, which will be (Continued on Page p
