The most serious question facing the
Nation today concerns not the country's
fiscal policies, but deprecated human
values, Bishop James E. Freeman of the
Episcopal Church told the Community
Chest campaign army at a meeting this
afternoon in the large ball room in the
Willard Hotel.
There is much talk OF whether to
depreciate the currency, Bishop Free
man said. but more attention should
be paid to the important problem OF
meeting human needs. Unless human
values are preserved he said, all fiscal
and other efforts will go for naught.
MY concern" Bishop Freeman stat
ed. lis for the people who have COM
Portable homes and f1resides and who
are corresponding and unreSponsive TO
the needs of their less fortunate neigh
bors-who are not interested in human
values"
Referring to the slow progress of the
campaign for 81 ,945 600, Bishop Free
man said the Chest workers are facing
situation like that which confronted

The angry citizens began using their

The men were rounded up early this
morning in a series of carefully planned
raids. Armed with the names and ad-
dresses of nine alleged participants in
the lynching. troopers swooped down
on their various homes, rousing them
from their beds and taking them into
custody one by one. News of the i'm

After the roundup. the prisoners
were placed under heavy guard and
brought to the Armory. Some OF them,
according to information given out at
the Armory subsequently were identi-
fled by State policemen as members OF
the lynching mob.
While the prisoners were under guard
in the officers room in the Armory,
search for the others was pushed by
squads of guardsmen, working in va
rious sections of Wycomico and Somer-
set Counties.
The Guardsmen left town after the
"big push with water had sent them
through the downtown section, wet

tinued to play the hose upon them, but
finally leaders of the troopers proposed
a compromise. 1t was pointed out the
Guardsmen were leaving town anyway
and the drenching, therefore, should be
stopped. Leaders of the mob, after
brief conference, agreed to this and
the water was turned of.

President Roosevelt's gold buying plan

French Welcome Germans

Some of the invaders are German
Jews, some are political exiles, and
others are tourists. Paris has gath

American and British visitors of
other days.
The warmth of this welcome may
or may not have been determined
by the fact that the invaders are
spending money. Despite the diff
