DETROIT, January 5.-The radio
address on unemployment which he was
asked to temper and restrain" last
night will be delivered next Sunday eve
ming with some added touches which
VIII make 1t stronger, Rev. Father
Charles E. Coughlin said today in COM
menting on protests against his series
of talks which were sent to the Column
bia Broadcasting Station.
Father Coughlin named two of the
stations which he said protests against
his talks as too infiammatory." They
are WGR of Buffalo and WCCO of
Minneapolis. The priest said that he
agreed to temper and restrain" last
nights remarks after a Saturday mid
night call from an executive of the

Il thereby gave the protesting sta
tons an opportunity to get a real
expression of opinion from the public
on my sermons" Father Coughlin de-
clared, and he predicted that the sta
tions which have threatened to drop
of the G. B. S. chain when he speaks
will discover that the majority of their
listeners want to hear the address.
They will learn that the propaganda
against me comes from an organized
minority" the priest predicted. Labor
leaders assured him today that thou
sands of protests against those who
objected to the talk will be lodged in
short order, he added.
Il am going to the heart of the
trouble next Sunday" Father Coughlin
said. II am going to discuss the peace

PUBLIC WORK LOAN
80 Economists Decry "Timid-

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 5.-Decrying
the ''timidity of business men and legis-
lators," in the present business crisis 80
economists yesterday Endorsed billion
dollar loan program to finance con-
struction.
The Endorsement of the plan of the
Emergency Committee for Federal Pub
lie Works for building of public i'm
provements' came from university and
college leaders and labor officials from
all parts of the Nation.
In a statement issued by Harold S.
Buttenheim, chairman of the Emer-
gency Committee, the economists said
the Federal Government should hasten
return of prosperity by large-scale eX-
pansion in five fields, namely, highway
building; reforestation irrigation, drain
age and improved water transport; rec
lamation of waste lands and flood con-
troll and elimination of grade crossings.
These public works, projected on
scale to check the present business de-
preston would require possibly a bill
lion dollars to be effective" the state
ment said. The cost cannot be COM
pared to the loss sustained by all
classes if such expenditures are not
made.
Taxation for such purposes, equita-
bly, distributed, would not be seriously
felt by any group. 1t is difficult to
understand the timidity, in this crisis,
of business men and legislators"
