MINISTER HITS
 BACK AT MOVIE
 GEAR WILL HAYS
Explains About That Ten Per Cent Which the Church Was to Get, But Didn't

Bridgeport, Conn, June 29.-(UP) |-The Rev George Reid Andrews, mentioned by Will Hays in the lat ter's reply to charges of the Federal Council of Churches that motion pie ture interests paid salaries secretly to members of influential religious and social service organizations, de- clared to-day that Hays was at- tempting to "draw a red herring across the trail of revelations"
 Andrews said the Hays organiza- tion had 52 members and three ex- ecutives of the Church and Drama association, which Andrews headed, placed on a secret payroll.
 The clergyman, pastor of the Park Street Congregational church here, asserted to originated the plan for the motion picture, "The King of Kings" and negotiated with movie interests to obtain 10 per cent of the gross receipts of the picture for the Church and Drama association When the picture finally was pro- duced the organization received nothing, he said.
 Hays made unsuccessful efforts to put Andrews on the secret pay roll, the clergyman charged.
 "The man stands revealed by his own tactics,. said Andrews. "No amount of attacks on me or any other individual can obscure the principles at issue. If the movies can silence criticism and direct pub- lie opinion to their own purposes through prodigal use of money, buying their way even into the church, what guarantees have we that we shall be able to preserve intact our institutions and prevent their complete control by those who profit from appealing to the baser appetites."

Ex-Mayar Guilfoile for Monagan
 On the other hand. efforts to reach those who are understood to be actively backing MT Monagan for the factory inspectors post were of no avail. Ex-Mayor Francis P. Guil- foile has recommended both MT Mo- Donald and Mir Monagan, 1t is un- derstood, but reliable reports today were to the effect that he Is bending his support more towards the former resident now living in Hamden. Re- ports were also current that Super for Court Judge Frank P. McEvoy was with his law partner in the campaign to put MT Monagan across. This report was doubted in many circles, however, it being felt that Judge McEvoy, because of his posi- ton on the superior court bench, would not step into the present po- litical scramble that is now on.
