LAND PR0F|TEER|NG
LAID TO CHURCHES
New York Group Accuses
Them of Holding Property
for Increased Price.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 27.-New
York churches and cemeteries were &C
cused by the City Affairs Committee
yesterday of "profiteering" in real es-
tate by holding tax-exempt land until
1t has risen in value and then selling IL.
The committee, describing the in
crease in tax-exempt property as
alarming" urged that no land acquired
in the future be added to the tax
exempt rolls.
The most obvious abuses which our
committee has discovered during the
course of this study" said the report,
"are the profiteering in land by
churches which sell real estate at a
profit after it has risen in value, and
practice of holding land out of use while
still receiving tax exemption. A fur
ther abuse is that of many cemeteries
in New York which have bought land
at low price and sold lote at eXorbi-
tant prices, and the tax department has
made no thoroughgoing check to de-
termine what becomes of such huge
cemetery surpluses.
I'm Staten Island hundreds of acres
of the most desirable land on the island
are being held out of use by churches,
missions and schools while the ordinary
taxpayers suffer. These institutions
should be granted tax exemption only
on the land which they actually use for
religious or educational purposes.
The report said the site of Trinity
Church increased in value from S3,-
100000 in 1885 to 324 800, 900 in 1882,
and that of st. Bartholomew from ST.
100000 in 1920 to S3,65O,009 in 1882.
The report also mentioned Temple
emanuel and the Madison Avenue
Methodist Church as institutions that
sold their sites at large profits.

LOSS TO COMMUNISM
SEEN IN RECOGNITION
Thomas Sees Movement Hurt in

ENGLEWOOD, N. j., November 81
Recognition of Russia will harm
communism in this country but will
have no effect on socialism here, Nor
man Thomas, national Socialist leader
told the Englewood NJ E. Church
forum last night.
"One of the reasons for the recogni-
ton of Russia was the administra ton s
hope for increased trade" Thomas said
Il believe in the recognition and am
very glad it has taken place, even at
this late date.
But more is necessary than a new
deal or new deck of cards. We need
an entirely new system, but I don't
agree with Al Smith and others in then
criticism of Government officials. It
would be calamity if all that has
happened between March and today
were wiped cut. Would the United
States Chamber of Commerce like the
country to be returned to the chaotic
Gays of March 4?
Mr.. Roosevelt at least has had the
courage to act. The Republicans who
voted for him to get rid of Hoover got
better than they bargained for. I am
not criticizing the President when 1
say we are living in a disintegrating
social order. I would like instead to
ask if the new deal is going far
enough"

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. ID. -

in recent years, Clarence Darrow,
noted liberal and internationally
known attorney, observed during
a visit here recently.
barrow referred principally to
the improved sta lis Of negroes.
He pointed out that at The present
time southern negroes arc gain

interracial organizations, while
their brothers in he North are
losing advantages they previously
enjoyed. =
II have talked to a number of
negroes down here, and they all
say conditions arc Improving,
barrow said. "OH the other hand,
the negro worker in northern in
dustrial centcrs is the first to lose
his job in lay-off and is no: ad-
mittcd to unions, despite profess
sions of economic equality"

while visiting at a country estate

the greatest Democrat of them
all. He was the champion Of the
poor always and in his outlines OF
government, was aware OF the
tendency of the government to
drift toward tyranny.
Washington was a tory and
had no conception Of democracy.
He was an aristocrat and close
friend of Alexander Hamilton,
who did not believe in mass rule.
Of Washington's qualifications as
a soldier, | am not competent to
say"
The conversation turned to
philosophy and Darrow immedl-
ately expressed his belief that
pleasure is the chief objective of
life. He had expressed the same
view in a lecture to students at
William and Mary College in
Williamsburg.
81 can see nothing in life but
pleasure. 1t is important, above
all, that persons do not take life
too almighty seriously"
Darrow believes teaching of
Latin and Greek in schools and
colleges is wasted effort for stu
dents. "There is no excuse for
the teaching of Latin and Greek, "
he declared. "They are both dead
and nothing can be learned from
them. 1t ought to be a crime to
teach either"
That statement brought a round
of applause from the William and
Mary student body.

welt declared emphatically thaI

"And what's more" ne adde1;

Roosevelt opened up on the
cabinet discussion by taxing
cognizancc of Washington re-
mort which said Miss Frances
Perkins was slated for the COM
rlcrcc portfolio instead of the
labor sccretaryship.
"That is all wrong" he laugh
ingly remarked. :,
The prcsident-elect indicated
he might follow the precedent
set by Woodrow Wilson who
waited until the day before his
Inauguration TO formally an
nounce the official family.
Nothing has been done, how
ever" he explained.
Close friends were of the
opinion that the selections would
be announced singly sometime
after Rooscvclt's departure from
Warm Springs, Ca, early IN
February. -,
"Have you talked to all the
persons you will pick fer the
cabinet" Roosevelt was asked.
He dismissed that question
with a wave Of the hand.
In spite Of the firm declara-
ton, the belief persisted that
Senator Thomas J. Walsh OF
Montana, was slated for the at
torney-gcneralship, and that the
labor place would be awarded
Miss Perkins.
Roosevelt spent several hours
TODAY discussing aspects of the
parity bill for agricultural relief
with representatives of the Amer
lean Association of Creamery
Butter manufacturers, headed by
w. +. Jensen of Chicago.
The group asked him to use
his influence to grant protection
to the American farmer by haV-,
ing a sales tax placed on oils and
fats imported into this country
for use in food products. Jen-'
sen declared such a Tax would
affect principally imports from
the Philippine Islands. :,
He also went over the general
agricultural situation with Form
er Governor Harry II. Woodrlng
of Kansas, regarded as an expert
on the subject.
Woodring, who has called to
see him several times since cleo

ture secretaryship in the new

Scnator-clcct William Gibbs
McAdoo, who was slated to have
conferred with Roosevelt during
the afternoon will meet with him
Sunday instead at Hyde Park.
"What are you going to talk
about" he was asked.
