DO YoU. NEED CHURCH?


 Church attendance has been the decline. Statistics reveal that only 30 per cent of the mem bership attends church services That is not a heartening disclosure in period when morals and spiritual values needed by a people graspng for social, economic and moral relief.
 Church attendance fluctuates with economic con : ditions When prosperity is the wing, individuals feel less the need of relying on things spiritual. They gloat in their self reliance. When depression hits the nation and burdened with re- responsibilities and hardships, they turn to spiritual values for encouragement and sustenance Such Is the record of church attendance
 The world has undergone great changes History is in the making. Political, economic, and social forces in the throes of revision. We topped from the heights to the depths and our civilization Is foundering. Its permanency depends upon mans support of moral and spiritual values Character, integrity and the Golden Rule still more valuable than gold, armies and private gain
 This is not sermon. It is fact The perman- ency of civilization depends upon mans acceptance of moral and character values. President Roose- welt recognized this truth when he invited the nation to go to church Loyalty Sunday, October T. Merle Thorpe editor of Nations Business, says there is good for turning to the church today for disorder in the outer world has brought disorder to the spirit of man."

New Building.
(New York Times.)

President Roosevelt has directed the Federal Housing Authority to fix at per cent the basic interest rate on home mortgages insured under the law enacted by Congress at the last session Such insurance was authorized by means of a revolving fund administered under Federal auspices, on prop erty up to 80 per cent of it's appraised value The basic purpose of the plan is to encourage the con- structon of new homes by making credit more read fly available for that purpose. This IS the second stage in the program pf the new Housing Admin isration Several mouths ago it initiated yigor- ous campaign to stimulate the modernizaton and repair of homes already built.
 That great need for. new construction exists in many sections of the country is clear beyond all doubt Even if it is assumed that residential property overbuilt before 1929, the almost com plete cessation of construction during more recent years has resulted in shortage Of homes variously estimated at from 750000 to twice that figure Meantime many thousands of men are without work in the building trades, and indus tries producing lumber, brick and cement are at a low stage of activity. The problem is how to utilize idle man-power and plant equipment to create something for which a genuine need exists. Part of the solution is doubtless to provide ample credit on reasonable terms But another part is clearly to bring the cost of building homes within reach of the people who need them Unhappily there is doubt that the economic policy com mttee of the American Bankers Association was right when it reported recently that present costs of building "are too high to encourage new con- struction." @
 If the Federal Housing Administration find means to reduce these costs primarily through modification of the inflexible wage scales which have merely defeated their purpose-it will greatly improve the outlook for the of its new plans. The effort it is making to revive tvity in prostrate industry is of very great poten tal value. For the construction trades formerly gave direct and indirect employment to nearly five million people.

WITNESS IN
MORALS CASE
DISAPPEARS

LOS ANGELES, July IA. U.P -
June de Long, motion picture extra
and star witness for the state in its
prosecution of Dave Allen and Glo-
ria Marsh on a morals charge, dis
appeared today under circumstances
which caused police to fear she
planned suicide.
Marjorie Fairchild, district at
torney's investigator who was as
signed to guard the 24-year- ac-
tress after she told superior court
jury that she Allen and Miss Marsh
participated in lustful orgy, de-
serted her charge for five minutes.
When she returned she found the
room empty and a note on table,
stating:
"Marjorie-when you get this I'll
be dead"
Police feared that the actress,
mortified by her own testimony,
might have ended her life.
All available sheriff and police
radio cars were instructed to start
a search for the missing witness.
Miss Fairchild searched the
house from garrett to basement but
found no trace of her charge. Her
automobile was still parked in the
garage.
June was in excellent spirits
when I left" Miss Fairchild said.
I'm fact, she had shown very little
dependency after we got out of the
courtroom. She had given no hint
that she contemplated any drastic
act"
Miss De Long was harried by a
gruelling cross-examination before
the trial recessed yesterday for the
weekend. She staunchly withstood
the crossfire, however, denying de-
fense innuendos that she and Miss
Marsh set out to frame Allen in
order to obtain employment in pic
lures. Allen is head of the central
casting bureau which places extra
girls with the major studios.
Miss De Long was scheduled TO
return to the witness stand Mon
day when the trial is to be resumed.

RUSSIA WILL
JOIN LEAGUE

GENEVA, July ID. U.P) - Soviet
Russia will officially ask for ad-
mission to the League of Nations
within two weeks, league officials
reported today.
1t was said the Soviets were vir-
tually certain of election to the
league in September, with support
of France and Britain.
Entrance of the Communist state
into official membership has long
been considered a vital factor in
peace and disarmament negotiations
in Europe.
The Russian delegates, usually
headed by the blunt nt-speaking Max
i'm Litvinoff in recent years, have
participated in many conferences
sponsored by the league, especially
the disarmament conferences. FIRE.
quently, Litvinoff criticized the
league in speeches at Geneva ses-
SionS.
Recently, there have been in
creasing indications that the Soviet
would seek membership. These in
dications had been most pronounc-
ed since the notice of withdrawal
of Japan and Germany from the
league. and the recognition of Rus
sia by the United States.

HITLER GAINS
NEW FRIENDS
Chancellor's Explanation Of
Recent Revolt Puts Germans
Solidly Behind Him.
BY FREDERICK C. OECHSNER
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN, July IA = Fourteen
days after crisis that threaten
ed civil war, Germans awoke to-
day realizing clearly for the first
time Just what had threatened them
and Just what they escaped.
Many realized also for the first
time the calibre of the man whom
millions call "the leader.'
Chancellor Adolf Hitler, remem-
bering how those in the Kroll opera
house galleries sprang spontaneous
" to their feet, shouting hySteri-
cally. when he addressed his all
Nazi reichstag last night, and the
thunderous cheers from crowded
streets when he drove back to his
chancellery, may have realized also
what seemed an undoubted TACT
that he had won a revitalized sup
port for his party and revitallzed
confidence in himself.
His speech was what Hermann
Goering, his chief aide in the cab
met, called the final accounting OF
his handling of the plot of storm
troop leaders to reorganize the gov
ernment and, failing his personal
approval, to assassinate him.
Il was an accounting which
spared no one-not even himself.
He said of the II men who died as
traitors.
81 was the supreme court OF
Justice of Germany. 1 ordered

tory to accept responsibility 1or
those "a hours of the bitterest de-
cisions of my life.'
But, as he said that in ringing
shouts that brought his hearers
cheering to their feet, his flsC
pounding the rostrum, he alreaoy'
has revealed why he was ready 10
accept responsibility.
Explains NaZi Party
The major political significance
of the storm troop plot as he re-
vealed it may be summarized orlel-
ly:

ing to combat perpetual revolution

turmoil ever since the World war
and it suppressed the revolution
lists.
2. In the Nazi party itself was
left an element of perpetual rev.
olutionists. They were the storm
troop plotters, and they were sup
pressed.
Hitler also gave more clearly than
perhaps ever before his own idea
of the Nazi party.
First, he said, Hindenburg, the
field marshal president, was the
nation IS chief leader supreme ana
beyond interference.
Secondly, the reichsWehr was the
army of the nation, directly under
Hindenburg and in no way respon-
sible to or a part of the Nazl
party.
Thirdly the Nazi party was po-
litical entity like other political
parties, pledged to a new Germany
