NEW CANADA
 TARIFF HITS US. HARD BLOW
Bennett's Budget Increas- es Duties on M any
 American Products

OTTAWA, Ont, June 2.-Increas- ed tariffs in effect on more than two hundred commodities many of which Canada imports the greatest quantity from the United States were declared in the budget pre- sented by Premier R. B. Bennett to the Dominion Parliament. Among the American products imported most heavily from the United States upon which the tariff has been heavily increased are coal, steel and steel products, automo- piles, oranges, corn and ct r things.
 The Prime Minister explained that he had told the House he would bring down the budget be- fore June, but the last day of May fell on Sunday, and there had been certain delays, due to the lateness of arrival of cable from one of the overseas Domlnions. and also due to the great amount Of physi- cal work involved in the prepara- ton of the budget. He hoped the House would not think he had fall ed in his undertaking as to when the budget would be brought down He would leave it to Rt. Hon. Mac kenzie King, leader of the official opposition, to decide when the de- bate on it would be started He suggested Thursday or some other date.
 Particular interest seems to at tach to the proposed increase o1 duty on bituminous coal. In sup port of it Premier Harrington o1 Nova Scotia has been here a week Against it is the influence of some large manufacturers, mainly in On tario, who claim that they vii have to use American coal any way, and object to paying $1 pel lton duty. a. 4 Tn Liberal circles 1t was forecas that the debate on the principle O the budget from their side of thu House will be restricted to fev members from each Province, bu that on the detailed resolution l will be . "free-ror-all."
 An amendmentis also indicated t' the tariff board Dill to reduce th' term of office from ten to fiv' years.
 The opposition intends as well t. insist upon declaration Of unem ployment policy.

General Assembly, Meet ing in Pittsburgh Strong
 Against "Paganism"

PITTSBURGH, Pa, June 2.-The General Assembly of the Presby- terian Church of the United States has voted 175 to 79 to sever rela- tions with the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. The birth control of the Council brought an issue and prominent ministers said they read the report 'twith shame and chagrin.
 The General Assembly was asked to give the practice its first off, cial ecclesiastical sanction.
 Qualified Official Sought
 Qualified approval of birth con- trol was given in the report by the Council, giving sanction to the use Of contraceptives when impelled by economic, necessity or considera- tions of maternal health.
 The General Assembly's special Commission also made a report saying it clearly makes it wrong to bring children into the world without adequate provision for their nurture and proper consider ation for the health of the mo- ther."
 This report caused wide discus sion The attack on it was read by Dr. Clarence Edward MacCartney, former Moderator, and in 1927 a member of the assembly's special Committee on marriage and divorce,
 Pagan Recommendations
 Dr. MacCartney said: Men have a perfect right to recommend pagan and anti Christian practices if they so desire. But this ought not to be done under the guise of Chris tian teaching and faith.
 "The Protestant church by these colossal follies is simply digging its own grave and renouncing the moral leadership which 1t has SC grandly held in the world since the sixteenth century"

RAPID CITY, s. D., June o. The rattle and roar of big electric drills once more reverberates through the peaceful Black Hills region.
 Work of carving the gigantic memorial monument on the face of Mount Rushmore, 25 miles from here, has been started again with another spring.
 Through the vast canyons of granite resound noises akin to those of riveters in man-made steel can- yons of metropolitan centers, for art has joined hands with engi- neering genius to carve this me- morial on Natures mile-high easel. The head and face of George Washington, dominating figure in the group which will honor four presidents, already is clearly dis cernible.
 This summer the head of Thomas Jefferson will be "roughed out, and work started on the head of Abraham Lincoln Theodore Roose- welt, the fourth heroic figure, will probably be left for another sum- mer's labor.
 Five Years Work Ahead
 Work on this sculptural colossus has been going forward, except during winter months, since 1927 and it probably will be another five or six years before it is finish ed. Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor is in charge of crew of some Al men. w. S. Tallman and Hugt

Villa are his assistants and super visors.
 About 30 men are engaged in the actual carving-a precarious job in- deed, drilling dynamlCe- holes with a heavy, bucking, jolting compressed air jack hammer while suspended in leather sling with nothing but scenery" below for a mile or so straight down!
 In order that the men in these slings may be lowered or raised or shifted from side to side on signal, an elaborate system of winches is installed on the top of Rushmore. Ponderous cable and electric lines span the valley, bringing supplies and power to the little construction camp.
 Heads 60 Feet High
 The figures are to be of tremen- dous size-iff the proportion of men some 450 feet tall, which means that from chin to the top of the head they will measure about 6o feet.
 Keeping the images in true pro- portion was comparatively simple problem. Borglum constructed a huge plaster model of the trio-on a 1-to-l2 scale-in a studio in the valley.
 From the end of swinging steel boom, pivoting on point in the ex- act top-center of Washington head, a plumb-line drops on the model, and by this the distances to various points on the figures are measured.

DOYLESTOWN, Penr., June 2.-- Death of Dr. Ralph Hustled Bell. apparently a victim of his own burglar trap, is under investigation.
 The body of the alienist, natur- alist and author was found at Sycamore Lodge, his summer home with a gunshop wound in hls chest.

A similar boom, but 12 times as large, swings from the top center of Washington's head on the noun tain-top. Measurements are taken on the model, then transferred to the actual work, where inches become feet"
 Borglurn, profiting by his exper1- ence on the Stone mountain sculp- tural group in Georgia, has not at tempted to do this job by hand chisels. From the first it has beer art on sky-scraping, mechanizeo scales.
 Dynamite An Art Tool
 Actual treatment of the graniSt consists of three major processes First some 40 feet of rough rock surface is removed by drilling countless holes and filling them with dynamite charges, which senc great avalanches of rock sloughine off into the valley.
 When the rock has been trimmed to within foot or so of the face the stone is chipped off more slowly with pneumatic hammers that re- semble machine guns. Finally "buffers," another kind of air-ham' mer using a pointed bit, art used to smooth the surface to it final state.
 Supplementing these four figure will be a great entableture on whicf will be engraved significant date in American history, and 800 word history written by Ex-Presi dent Calvin Coolidge.
