and expectancy that the United

The government was understood
to be ready to make the payment in
gold, if necessary. 1t was expected
that the note would be published

The only statement that could be
construed as official indication of
the British attitude came from

New York, April 23 - An extra dollar from every member and friend, young and old, of the Con- gregational and Christian churches during May has been asked in order to balance the missionary budget.
 To make the giving easy, coin cards with places for ten dimes have been furnished to churches in al states fo redistribution to mem- bers. attendants and supporters, to Sunday school pupils and to young people.
 A thousand coin cards were re- quested by the Rev Dr s. Parkes Cadman, noted radio minister, for the Central Congregational church, Brooklyn, N. Y., of which he is pas tor. Requests for a thousand or more have been received by the united denominations commission on missions from other large churches while lesser numbers have been asked by smaller churches down othe tiniest rural churches, the weakest city missions and the most remote parishes in the Rocky Mountains.
 The Rev Dr Walter H. Rollins, superintendent of the churches in New York state, is chairman of the dollar plan" committee.
 It is pointed out that what a dol lar can do depends upon "the com pany it keeps and that ten dimes saved from sodas. movies and can dy will in the aggregate with other

dollars be the equivalent of widely extended helpfulness in religious ministry, medical services and schooling in places where Chris tianity is little known.
 The presentation of the coin cards filled with dimes or with a folded dollar bill is to be feature in the programs of the annual state conferences which meet in May. The cards from each church are to be brought to the platform by delegate and a conSecration service held for the united offering.
 The regular contributions for the missionary work decreased $459,- 900 or 16 per cent last year as com- pared with the year before and a further decline of II per cent is re- ported for the first quarter of this year. Salaries have been reduced, foreign missionaries on furlough in this country have had their stay in definitely extended, pensions have been trimmed, certain mission sta- tions in this country and abroad have been left unnamed and bud- gets have ben cut everywhere.
 The receipts from the dollar plan" will be used to help maintain the mission work on the present reduced basis and to meet outstand ing deficits due to the recent rapid shrinkage of regular contributions.
 The mission boards of the Con- gregational and Christian churches are the oldest in America, dating back to societies organized in the New England states in the latter part of the eighteenth century. In the mission work to-day is engaged a total staff of 5000.

Smith Wins In
 East Hartford
Carries Three of Five Districts in Spirited Caucus
 Fight

delegates carried three of the five districts in East Hartford, divided a fourth and let a fifth go by de- fault. This means that when the town convention to elect delegates to the state convention is held next Thursday night by the East Hart ford democrats the Smith packers will control the session by 46 to IS vote.
 East Hartford's caucuses last night were the first to be held by any democratic organization in Con necticut. Therefore. the eyes of the entire state were upon the East Hartford democrats to ascertain whether Smith or his opponent, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt was to be the victor.
 But Smiths packers swept the caucuses and will sweep the town convention, meaning that East Hart ford's nine delegates to the state convention will be favorable to Smith and elect delegates to the national convention also favorable to the former New York governor. "It was a wonderful victory and more similar victories can be ex- pected in other towns and cities of the state," declared Town Chair man John H. Crary this morning 'There is no doubt but what Smith packers will control the state con- vention."

WOMEN PLAN
 SLUMP FIGHT

Florence, Col. - (UP)--Women of Florence, especially those Of the women's clubs, have decided to rout the depression with a "Wise Spending Week."
 Women do the principal portion of the buying for a family. they argue, consequently they are the ones who should be reached in the campaign to return business to nor malcy.
 The belief that poor business conditions are due to lack of con- fidence and general fear of any. thing, or nothing. the women will include in their drive for wise spending an effort to stop hoard ing. a program of educating buy CTS to keep their dollars moving as far as their means will allow. and an effort to create more jobs for men and women willing to work. and unable to find employ ment.
 A ''paint and clean up" cam paign will go forward simultanc- ously with the spending campaign. in a two-foid effort to beautify the community. and furnish odd jobs.

 Readings from the Bible include the following passages from Gala tians, 6: 3, 4, g; For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone. and not in anothe. And let us not be weary in we'll doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not"
 Among the citations from the Christian Science textbook, "Sci- ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy include the following from page 296, 4: Progress Is born of exper- fence. It is the ripening of mortal man, through which the mortal is dropped for immortal. Either here or hereafter, suffering or science must destroy all illusions regarding life and mind, and regenerate ma terial sense and self. The old man with his deeds must be put off. Nothing sensual or sinful is inn mortal. The death of a false ma terial sense and of sin. not the death of organic matter. is what reveals man and life, harmonious, real. and eternal"
