A list Of stations to be shut down
will be announced early next week BY

number will be limited largely to those
situated in small centers and considered
the least essential by the bureau.
The bureau was required to reduce
its expenditures for this fiscal year
from $3,725 900 to $2,909,000.
The Lynchburg, Va. station was the

ROOSEVELT CALLS
CABINET MEMBERS
Summons Several for Con-
ference, Probably Aboard
Cruiser at Annapolis.
BY the Associated Press.


President Roosevelt has summoned
some Of the members of his cabinet to
confer with him even before he re-
turns to the National Capital, and the
meeting probably will take place to-
morrow afternoon, aboard the cruiser
Indianapolis, either at or near Annap-
oils, Maryland.
The Chief Executive last night was
sliding quickly down the Atlantic Coast,
aboard the high-powered craft, after
boarding 1t at Campobello, N. B., but
word sped ahead of him for some of
his official family to journey to An
napolis on Monday.
Secretary Ickes Of the Interior De-
partment, chairman Of the Board Of
Cabinet Offlcers in charge of the
$4,000. 100000 public works fund, was
among those called to meet the Pres
ident
Although formal official word was
lacking, it was considered probable that
the Chief Executive and his advisory
officers would go over in some detail
the unfolding developments in the
Roosevelt recovery program since the
President left the White House for his
vacation cruise up the New England
coast.
Secretary Wallace was expected to
post the President on projects Of farm
relief plans and the future outlook, and
similar statements were expected from
several other cabinet officers.
Reports concerning the conference
varied Some understood it would be
held at Annapolis after the President
leaves the Indianapolis, but others we're
informed the sessions would be aboard
the cruiser.
Minor officials in the Government
said they considered there was no IN
usual need for the meeting. except that
the President wished to be advised
quickly of what had taken place dur
ing his absence, thus preparing himself
to push ahead quickly with the resump-
ton Of his official duties.

aboard until Tuesday and return then
by motor to the White House. On
Wednesday he again will take personal
command of the national recovery
drive which Congress gave him full
authority to direct.
During the two weeks he has been
getting the sunshine, fog and wind of
the open seas to prepare himself COM
pletely for the titanic task ahead, the
President has had his aides busily at
work in Washington setting up the ma

recovery program which was set for q

passed the couple on their way up the

Miss Mahan suggest that she and her

A check-up by the police revealed
the slugging occurred on the west side
of the creek. Miss Mahan's hat and

stream, and there were unmistable signs
that furious struggle had taken place
there. The hat was torn to pieces, and
the pocketbook, which had contained

been emptied of everything but dime.
Another man, picked up near the
scene, was booked for investigation at

acknowledged they had no evidence he

ciaI Statement BRANDING
Report a Lie.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, July 1.-WOlds Germany
Agency tonight published an oficial
statement denying that Chancellor
Adolf Hitler had Joined the new Ma
tional Protestant Church. after aban-
doning his Roman Catholic faith.
Previously Rev. Ludwig Mueller. Mani
church leader. announced that the
chancellor expected to join the church
as soon as reorganization of Protest.
antism in the Reich had been completed.
He added that the head of the Maxi
movement will urge German Catholics
to afnliate with the new church.
The VOLTS announcement read:
In the entire world reports have
been circulated that Chancellor Hitler
has Joined the Evangelical Church.
These are fantasy and lies. Hitler be-
longs now, as previously, to the Cath
olic Church. and has no intention Of
leaving It,"
News Spreads Rapidly.
The announcement by Mueller spread
rapidly through German church cir
dered if the head of the government,
in embracing Professionalism, would also
claim the title of sumus episcopus-
head bishop-which was formerly
borne by the kaisers.
The revelation of this highly impor-
tant change came after President Hin
denburg, a strong Evangelical church,
man. had appealed to Chancellor Hit
Ter to compose the difference between
the government and the Protestant
church groups.
In Protestant circles 1t was gener-
ally believed the chancellor's transfer
from the Catholic communion to the
Evangelical fold would be signalized
as a dramatic feature of the nation
wide celebration Of Martin Luther's
415th birthday anniversary October 10.
Chancellor Hitler suggested year
ago to Mr.. Mueller, it was said on ex-
cellent authority, that he join the
Protestant communion, but the Nazi
church organizer advised against the
change, suggesting that since Protest
anism was not united under one head,
Hitler might cause offense by showing
preference for 1t.
AcuOnS arouse 1ntctc3S.
Several recent incidents in Hitler's
career had aroused special interest in
the religious classification Of the chan
cellor, who Is listed in the Reichstag
handbook as q Catholic.
The Nazi chief created q sensation
February when he attended state
funeral of storm troopers and police
at q Protestant cathedral.
On March 81 he failed to attend
Catholic services celebrating the Day
Of Potsdam." when members OF the
cabinet and Reichstag. as well Is
President Won Hindenburg, attended
services at either Protestant or Cath
olic churches. Instead Of attending
services the chancellor placed wreaths
on the graves Of storm troopers.
Rev. Mueller, who made the star
Ting announcement, was the losing
candidate In the recent election OF DR..
Friedrich Won Bodelschwingh to the
new ONCE of Protestant Bishop OF the
Reich. This choice has been and con-
tinues to be strenuously contested by
Mr. Mueller, who declared that Dr.
Bodeischwingh would not be accepted
by the head of the government.

completion Of the difficult first leg of

Newspapers hailed the feat accom-
plished by the arrival at Amsterdam
from Orbetello, the starting point which
was left early today, as bringing new
glory to FasciSm.
The accident to Capt. Baldini's plane,
costing the life of Mechanic Quinta-
vale, while regarded as most regretable,
was said to detract little from the per-
lection Of the achievement.
Gen. Italo Balbo, leader of the expe-
dition, kept IN constant radio touch with
the air ministry at Rome throughout
the flight, reporting methodically on its
progress. Passing the Italo-Swiss from
tier he sent the following message to
Premier Mussolini:
