PERSONAL PLEDGE

CHICAGO, April 21.-A new plan
to promote peace by personal pledges
not to cross another nations border
to make war will be rendered to the
National Council of the Congrega-
tional Church at Oberlin, Ohio, next
June by DR.. Albert w. Palmer, Con-
gregational leader.

He proposed, through the Congre-
gational and other denominations, a
Nation wide, eventually worldwide,
campaign for individual signatures to
the pledge:
''I will never cross the boundary of
another nation to kill or destroy; nor
will I support my government in
doing so.'
DR.. Palmer is president of Chicago
Theological Seminary, the leading in
stitution Of Congregationalism, and
formerly held pastorates at Honolulu,
Oakland, Calf, and Oak Park, III.
The idea Of non-aggression, he
said, was presented by no less a per-
son than President Franklin D. Roose-
welt" to the recent Disarmament Con-
ference. Now he proposes that not
governments, but people, register their
unwillingness to cross an international
boundary with a gun on our shoulder
or deadly bomb hanging beneath
an airplane"
1T is psychologically sound" said
DR.. Palmer. 1T appeals at once to
the unwillingneSs of any normal hu-
man being to go out of his way to
attack another. 1t separates the emo

MORRO CASTLE

With funds made available by
the PWA. the Navy Department
will purchase the fire-swept hulk
of the once proud S. S. MORO
Castle for use as an aircraft car
rier-or perhaps junk.
This has been revealed with a
$4,000 allotment to the Navy
partment made public yeSter'
day by Secretary of Interior Har-
old L. Ickes. The funds had been
requested by Assistant Navy Sec
rotary Henry L. Roosevelt and
Secretary of Commerce Roper, it
was learned.
Naval officials said today plans
are being made to tow the half
sunken hull to dry dock in New
York for inspection and if the
machinery and hull proves sea-
worthy, it will be converted into
an aircraft carrier. If the vessel
can not be salvaged, it was said,
it will be strapped and sold for

Checking Fines
In past years, however, the task
of auditing the court books has
fallen to the Treasury Department
and not the Department of JUS
tice.
Besides checking the route
taken by fines paid into the courts,
the agents also will look into "fix-
ing" charges, and alleged graft
in the courts and police system.
Conduct of several officials is said
to be under close investigation by
the agents.
The investigation is expected to
require several weeks, and the
agents will make their report to
District Attorney Garrett.
Fixing Fees Probed
Principal among the many al.
legged irregularities is the method
by which bondsmen and lawyers
are claimed to have been able to

Also being investigated are
charges that lawyers, after accept

to nolle pros or otherwise quash
cases.
Judges and officials of the Po-

there are to be any sensational
revelations following an audit Of
Police Court books by Department
of Justice men.
Deny Significance
W. A. Norgren, assistant chief
clerk of the Police Court. stated
there is no significance whatso-
ever in the presence of the
agents at Police Court. He said:
"There is nothing to get excit-
ed about. Heretofore. the Treas

lice Court records. Recently, the
work has been turned over to
the Department Of Justice
auditors who have for years
Travelled all over the country

In fact they came here yester-

expect the work to take
months, and we don't expect
any sensational disclosures

1928 DATA USED
AS BASIS FOR
COST STUDY
Dr.. Lubin Says Buying Habits
of U. S. Employees Show
Little Change

Costof living statistics on which
President Roosevelt will base his
decision whether Federal employees
will receive back the remaining
5 per cent Of their salaries Jan
uary / will be based on 1928
standards.
This was made known today
when DR.. Lsador Lubin, commits
sioner OF the statistical bureau
of the Labor Department, said no
change Of weights" would be
made from those computed for
the first six months Of 1923.
Habits Unchanged
There have been no outstand-
ing changes in the commodity
market, he pointed out, nor any
material change Of habits among
employees which require read
juStment Of weights,
The term weight" IL applied
by statisticians to itemized ex-
penditures to show their respec-
tive Importance.
Should any marked change be
noticed in commodities commonly
used by Federal employees, DR..
Lubin says, questionnaires will be
distributed again to make what
ever adjustments are necessary.
These establishments, though.
would have no effect upon the
coming survey which will settle
the fate of the remaining per
cent salary reduction.
Law Specifies 1928 Figures
Use of the 1928 figures was
specifically required under terms
Of the economy act. From these
figures the President was author
lied to determine an index figure
on the cost Of living to be used
as the base, and from future in
VeStigationS, such as the one to
be started December Is, to deter
mine new index figures.
On the latter he is authorized
to base further changes in en-
ployes' salaries.
The survey of living costs of
Federal employees is not to be
confused in any way, Labor De-
partment officials point out, with
the retail food price survey made
Semi-monthly or the general cost
Of living survey made every six
months in 80 cities.

CLERGY SPLIT
ON REVIVAL
Of DEAD
TheoIogians Here Believe Re-
stored Person Would Have
Soul Again

Although clergymen throughout
the country are at odds over the
question whether or not a person
revived" after death would have
a soul, Washington theologians to-
day were Of the opinion that
restoration Of life would mean
restoration of the soul.
The question arose in connec-
ton with the projected expert
ment of DR.. Robert E. Cornish,
California scientist, who has re-
quested the governor of Colorado
to permit him to experiment with
the body of one of the convicts
now in the death house at Denver.
Priest Gives Views
The Rev. Eugene A. Dooley, of
Catholic University, said:
"The question Of revival Of
life after death was discussed
as far back as the Thirteenth
century. A priest gives the
last sacramentS Of the Catholic
Church to q person dying sud
denly as late as three hours
after death, just as If that
person were alive, because of
the possibility that the soul is
still present.
"If life could be restored
after aDDarent death, the Der-
son would possess sOuI-the
same one"
DOUBTS RESTORATION
Father Dooley was inclined to
doubt that life could be restored
to a person actually dead. He
commented:
Gust as science cannot create
life, so it cannot restore it once
it has ceased. What science can
do is to preserve from death for
a time the failing human pow
ers. So a person apparently
dead from drowning or aSphyxi-
alton can be revived. The alb
sence Of a heart beat does not
always denote the presence of
death. Neither does rigOr. NOR
tbs. The only infallible sign is
putrefactiOn.
when science brings back
life to q body that has putrefied,
then and then only will we say
that a miracle has taken place"
OnnOSeS Interference
The Rev. Earle Whitley, pastor
emeritus of the National City
Christian Church, was inclined to
believe that science should refrain
from interfering with such things.
He said, however:
eve have yet to find out
whether the soul or spirit and
life are the same thing. Per-
haps science can disclose such
things, but until it does we will
have to wait. 1t is best to leave
it to God, anyhow"
A less serious view Of the mat
ter was taken by the Rev. Albert
Joseph Mccartney, pastor Of the
Covenant First Presbyterian
Church, who said:
II have given the matter no
thought and have no serious
comment to make. If DR.. Cor
nish is successful, however, 1
know two or three congregations
on which / would like him to try
his experiment"

Down; Peace Near

would probably be reached. He
replied:
Negotiations are going on.
Justice Carew has taken part
in them. If any agreement is
reached which the court ap-
proves, it will be announced to
the press"
Mrs. Whitney Ill
Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney
under the strain of continued
court attendance while suffering
from a bad cold, was ill in bed at
her Fifth Avenue home today.
She had been coughing in court
for the past several days and is
said to have insisted on attend
ing against the advice of her
physician.
Despite the new settlement
rumor, the hearing was resumed
today with ThNnas B. GilchriSt,
coguardian of Gloria's $4,000, 1000
estate, again on the stand.
When Mrs. Whitney completes
her case-should the trial go on
Justice John F. Carew will decide
whether it will be necessary for
Mrs. Vanderbilt to answer.
Mr.. Burkan, in arguing Cor
granting of the writ, will contend
that the testimony given against
her, the uncorroborated testimony
Of discharged, disgruntled serv-
ants, does not warrant further
hearing.
