Old Covenant Provides for

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RIVERDALE, Md, December T.
With the repeal Of the eighteenth
amendment the Riverdale Town Council
voted to appeal to the Prince Georges
County commissioners requesting that
no licenses be issued for the sale OF
liquor IN that portion OF Riverdale
where the sale, manufacture, etc., of
liquor Is Illegal according to a covenant
in the original deeds of the town, In
presenting the matter, Councilman H
II. Peck stated that property had been
bought and sold with the full knowledge
OF such a covenant since the subdivision
of the Calvert estate here, and as the
covenant had been observed In pre-
prohibition days he felt property own
ers should have this protection now. II
was also pointed out that the county
commissioners can save the property
owners the cost of court action, which
no doubt, will be taken in the event
licenses are granted, by directing the
liquor board to honor the covenant and
request Of the council
Work on civic Improvement projects
Is steadily going forward under the
supervision of George F. Montgomery
who states that Is men are now EN-.
ployed in the town, and have beer
transferred from relief rolls to public
works appropriation allotment for this
county and given raise from 80 to As
cents an hour. Each man works 80
hours per week. They are employed
at this time in clearing out streams the
entire length of the town. The town Is
cooperating by furnishing material and
tools.
Work will proceed on the opening OF
both Grant and Van Buren, avenues
from Roosevelt to Taylor as soon as the
survey Is completed by Town Engineer
Albert Pohmer. The stone pillars will
be removed from Washington avenue at
the entrance to the Lord Calvert man.
sion with the approval Of Senator Hattie

Text of Roosevelt Address
President Calls for collective Effort on Broad
Lines Of Social Planning" to Provide
~. abundant Life.

which is wholly In accord with the
social teachings Of Christianity.
This new generation OF ours STANDS
ready to help US. They may not be as
ready as were their fathers and mothers
to accept the outward requirements or
even many of the ancient observances
| Of the several churches, yet truly be-
lieve that these same churches can
| find In them q stronger support Tor the
| fundamentals of social betterment than
many Of the older generation are will
, ing to concede.
This younger generation is not salts
fed with the exposure Of those IN high
| places who seek to line their own nests
| with other peoples money. to cheat
their Government Of its just dues or to
| break the spirit Of the law while OBJ
serving its legalistic letter. This new
generation seeks action-action by COL
lective government and by individual
education, toward the ending Of prac-
tices such as these.
Assails Lynch Law.
This new generation, for example, Is
| not content with preaching against
that vile form of collective murder
lynch law-which has broken out In our
midst anew. We know that 1t is muir
der, and q deliberate and definite dis
obedience Of the commandment thou
shalt not kill" We do not excuse those
in high places or In low who condone
| lynch law.
But a thinking America goes fur
| ther. It seeks government of its own
that will be sufficiently strong to pro-
tect the prisoner and at the same time
to crystalline public opinion so clear
that government of all kinds will be
compelled to practice more certain
justice. The judicial function Of gov
eminent Is the protection of the indi-
vidual and of the community through
quick and certain justice. That func-
ton in many places has fallen into q
state Of disrepair. It must be part Of
our program to re-establish 1t.
From the bottom of my heart I be-
lieve that this beloved country of ours Is
entering upon time of great gain. That
gain can well include a greater material
prosperity for 120, 900 900 human beings
and not a prosperity for the top Of the
pyramid alone. It can be q prosperity
socially controlled for the common good.
It can be prosperity built on spiritual
and social values rather than on special
privilege and special power.
Asks Co-ordinated Effort.
Toward that new definition of pros
perity the churches and the govern
ments, while wholly separate in their
functioning, can work hand in hand.
Government can ask the churches to
stress in their teaching the ideals Of
social justice, while at the same time
government guarantees to the churches
Gentle and Jew-the right to worship
God in their own way. The churches,
while they remain wholly free from
even the suggestion of interference in
government, can at the same time
teach their millions of followers that
they have the right to demand of the
government of their own choosing the
maintenance and furtherance Of "a
more abundant life" State and church
are rightly united in a common aim
With the help Of God, We are on the
road toward 1t.

PRESIDENT VIEWS
SECURITIES ACT.
Willing to Be Shown Measure
Is Interfering With Capt.
! tai FIotations.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt has informed
members of his official family that he
is willing to be shown that the Federal
securities act is interfering with capi-
tai flotations.
He told them he Is determined that
the act shall not be weakened. but Is
maintaining an open mind on modify
ing portions Of it If opponents can
prove their contentious. But SO far
he Is by no means convinced that 1t
has forestalled economically and So
cially proper issues.
Issuers Held Fearful.
The act has been attacked on the
ground 1t has made issuers and cor
poration directors fearful of accepting
the stringent liabilities of the act as
administered by the Federal Trade
Commission. These enable broad
suits for damages against all parties
to an issue, and many bankers urge
modification so damages could be
sought only in the amount actually in
CURED, and against only the persons
actually responsible for misstatements.
James M. Lands, member of the
Federal Trade Commission and a
to Secretary Roper's Stock Market
Committee.
This committee has reached few
conclusions so far about stock mar
ket legislation. The group is Coop
Grating with the Banking Committee
headed by Senator Fletcher, and, Roper
says, is subordinate to the Senate
committee.
Officials say the capital market is
sluggish for many reasons other than
the securities act.
Strictness Brings Complaints.
Since the act providing full publicity
for new securities and other safeguards
to prevent public exploitation was
passed, there have been complaints that
its stringency was preventing legitimate
issues.
Some Treasury officials have been re-
ported as favoring modification and
recently Senator Fletcher of the Bank
ing Committee said he thought there
would be changes in the act to speed
up the investment of capital in sound
enterprises. The Florida Senator en-
phasized, however, that any alteration
would not weaken the law.
Fletcher said he understood through
Acting Secretary Morgenthau that M.
Roosevelt was inclined toward modifi-
cation, but it was made known at the
White House today that no definite de-
cision to modify the securities act had
been made and that proposed changes
would be studied carefully before being
given administration support.
Fletcher also has expressed the opin-
ion that there would be legislation in
the next Congress for regulation of tn.
stock exchanges, but Mr. Roosevelt was
said not to have studied this matter,
although he will probably take it up
soon with the Banking Committee
chairman.

The following Is the text Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's address made last
night before the Federal Council Of
Churches of Christ in America:
am honored by the privilege Of
speaking to the delegated representa-
tives of IS Christian denominations as
sembled here on the twenty-flfth ami
versary of the Federal Council of
Churches Of Christ In America. In this
quarter of q century you have sur
rendered no individual creed, but at the
same time you have been creating q
much-needed union that seeks to bet
ter the social and moral conditions Of
all the people Of America.
During a quarter of q century more
greatly controlled by the spirit Of con-
quest and greed than any similar period
since the American and the French
revolutions you have survived and
grown. You have come through to the
Threshold of new era in which your
churches and the other churches
Gentle and Jew-recognize and stand
ready to lead in new war Of peace
the war for social justice.
Recalls Early Iniquities.
Christianity was born in and Of an
era notable for the great gulf that sep
arated the privileged from the under
privileged Of the world Of 1000 years
ago-an era Of lines Of demarcation
between conquerors and conquered; be-
tween caste and caste; between warning
philosophers based on the theories OF
logicians rather than on practical
humanities. The early churches were
united in a social ideal.
Although through all the centuries
We know Of many periods when civili-
cation has slipped step backward. yet
am confident that over the sum Of
the centuries we have gained many
steps for every one we have lost
Now, once more, we are embarking
on another voyage into the realm Of
human contacts. That human agency
which we call government is seeking
through social and economic means
the same goal which the churches are
seeking through social and spiritual
means.
If I were asked to state the great
objective which church and state are
both demanding for the sake Of every
man and woman and child In this
country. I would say that that great
objective is "a more abundant life"
Sees Circumstances Parallel.
The early Christians challenged the
pagan ethics of Greece and of Rome:
we are wholly ready to challenge the
pagan ethics that are represented in
many phases Of our boasted modern
civilization. We have called on en-
lightened business judgment, on under
standing labor and on intelligent agri-
culture to provide more equitable bal
ance of the abundant life between all
elements of the community.
We recognize the right Of the indi-
vidual to seek and to obtain his own
fair wage, his own fair profit in his
own fair way-just so long as in the
doing of 1t he shall not push down nor
hold down his own neighbor. And at
the same time, we are at one In calling
for collective effort on broad lines of
social planning collective effort

PLANS
To TAKE ROLE
Of OBSERVER

GENEVA, Nov. II. UP)-Italian
experts at the world disarmament
conference henceforth will act as
observers only pending German re-
turn to the sessions because the
italian government is dissatisfied
with the method of conducting the
conference, the chief italian dele
gate told the steering committee to-
day.
Premier Benito Mussolini has been
in consultation with Germany re-
garding her withdrawal from the
conference, and has been regarded
as eager to see a solution to the
present deadlock.
Th steering committee appointed
committees on control of arma-
mentS and military effectives, with
Hugh Wilson, American minister to
Switzerland, a member of both.
Explaining the Italian position,
Baron Disorgana, chief Italian del
egate, said that while Germany was
absent from the conference, Italy
thought the conference work would
not lead to possible results. and
hence the Italian experts might be
obliged, pSychologically to feel
themselves in the position Of OBJ
servers
Arthur Henderson, British pre-
sident of the conference, said he
could not accept the Italian view
point.
Delegates naturally were disturb
ed at the announcement.
Italian disarmament attaches
told newspaper correspondents,
however, that Disorgana's state
ment was not in any sense to be
interpreted as partial Italian with
draWal.
Italy would continue to follow
the proceedings, it was said, al
though its delegates might be COM
paratively inactive.

FORD WINS IN
NRA DISPUTE

WASHINGTON, Nov. II. U.P) -
Henry Ford emerged victorious in
his first major test with the Ma
tional Recovery Administration to-
Gay when Comptroller General Nc
Carl ruled that the Detroit manu-
facturer must be allowed govern
ment contracts for automobile pur-
chases although he has not signed
the industry's code.
McCarl, in letters to the Secre-
taries of commerce and agricul-
ture, ruled that Ford must be al
lowed to bid and have his bids ac-
cepted in the absence of any show
ing that he has violated the provi-
sions of the code at his manufac-
turing plants.
Without such a showing, McCarl
added, it must be assumed that
Ford has complied with the pro-
visions of the code which have
the force and effect of law
The ruling leaves the way open
for Ford to participate in contracts
amounting to millions of dollars
annually.
The question of Ford's right to
participate in government busi-
ness caused a sensation when rails
ed at the height of his battle with
Recovery Administrator johnson.
Ford later agreed to submit his
schedules Of hours and working
conditions to Johnson.

IN TIME
WITH MONEY
OR CANAL

WASHINGTON, Nov. II. U.P)-
Public Works Administrator Ickes
announced formally today "tem-
porary" decision to withhold from
Oregon, Washington and California
further funds for construction.
He said those states had no cause
for complaint" and preference
would be given to applications from
states which have not received
their share of allotments.
Ickes emphasized that his action
was intended as a temporary ad-
justment. He explained that Ore
gon, California and Washington
had received more attention than
any other of the states in the
nation"
The administrator statement
was in reply to assertions by Rep.
Martin, DEM, Ore, that Oregon
and other west coast states were
to be "overlooked' in the future
public works allotmentS.
Il don't see how any of the
three west coast states can COM
plain of their treatment" Ickes
said. "They have received more at
tention from the Public Works
Administration than others in the
nation. In fact, they have received
so much that the other As are
bitterly complaining against it. We
must take care of their needs,
too."
Public works officials said prin-
cipal allotments to the three west
ern states included:
Oregon, $20,250,0O0 for the Bon
neville dam; Washington, S15,000,-
600 for the Grand Coulee dam and
California, $6,O00,0O0 for the ALL
American canal.
In addition: San Francisco, $8,-
100000 for 13 different projects;
Sacramento, 100000 for a water
supply, and $1,500000 for the Sac
ramento river flood control pro-
ject.
They said the figures did not
include huge loans Of reconstruc-
ton finance corporation money of
developments in California and
large naval expenditures for bases
along the west coast.
