DEPRESSION PROVES
ADVANTAGE OF PARKS
Assistant Secretary of Interior De-
scribes Value in Radio
Address.

The experience of the past four de-
preston years has proved that the ma
tional parks serve an important use
and have a practical value in our every
day national life, Oscar L. Chapman,
Assistant Secretary of the Interior. de-
clared today in a radio address over
station WJSV and the Columbia Broad
casting System.
Travel to the parks not only in
creased during these depression years
Mrs. Chapman pointed out. but the
officials were able also to participate in
many relief projects in connection with
the recovery program.
In 1881. for the first time. he said,
the number of visitors passed the 3,000,-
600 mark. with an additional 400 900
preston period visitors" Chapman ex-
planned. found life in the mountains
and woods and along the streams and
lakes restful and healthful. and In every
way worth while At the same time
they learned that simple camp life
oft-times offers more opportunities for
the practice of economy than do other
modes of life"
With the aid of the Civilian Conser-
vation Corps. Chapman said. a vast
Amount Of valuable conservation work
has been accomplished in national and
State parks. In view OF the six-year
advance plans for work in the parks
which had been approved by officials,
this emergency work was started with
out delays. An interesting result of the
c. c. C. work. he said has been the
acquisition of new lands for State park
purposes. The efforts OF the forest
recruits were directed primarily toward
conservation through fire, tree diseases
and erosional suppression and control,
with recreational use secondary.

100 GERMAN PASTORS
MAY GET SUSPENSION
Pastors Defy Reichsbishop by Pro-
testing Suppressive Decree
From Their Pulpits.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, January 8-One hundred
pastors who protested from their pull
pits Sunday against the suppressive de-
cree issued by Reichsbishop Ludwig
Mueller may face suspension for insub-
ordination. it was believed today.
Led by Rev. Martin Niemoeller head
Of the opposition to the ReichsbiShop
and his Nazi Church regime, the
pastors read from a statement dis
tributed by the Insurgent Ministers OF
the Emergency Federation.
After the meeting at which DR..
Niemoeller spoke, police broke up a
throng of 1000 German Sunday school
boys as they left the church. The
youths attempted to parade, but were
dispersed.
Hundreds of other pastors throughout
the nation also read the protest.
Assuming dictatorial powers over the
evangelical church to restore orderly
conditions, the Reichsbishop in his de-
cree set up regulations providing for
the dismissal of pastors and diScip-
linary action against officers who mis-
use the church service for purposes OF
political discussion"
Before God and this Christian con-
gregation." DR.. Niemoeller read. I'VE
protest against the Reichbishop's resort
to force. His contradictory attitude
has made it impossible to retain con-
fidence in him.

CURRAN PRAISES
BUDGET PROGRAM
Says Congress Should Carry
Out Roosevelt Balancing
Plan for Year 1886.
BY the Associated Press.


President Roosevelt's plan TO balance
the budget in 1896 was commended yes
terday by Henry H. Curran, director OF
the National Economy League, who as
serted in statement that It places
squarely upon Congress a duty not to
add a single dollar to the sums re-
quested by the President"
THE President has done well TO come
out SO stoutly for truly balanced bud
get in the year Of July, 1885, to July,
1885," Curran said. THE National
Economy Leagues recent petition to the
President and Congress requested spe-
cifically that this be done.
1--WE knew full well that the mo-
mentum Of existing commitments would
prevent the budget being balanced be-
fore that time. We knew, too, that for
safety's sake the 1886 budget must with
out fail be fully and truly balanced.
Now it looks like balance-in 1886.
"The terrific spending planned for
the interim of the next year and half,
however, places squarely upon Congress
duty not to add single dollar to the
sums requested by the President More
than that, it Is the duty of Congress 70
examine all Of the proposed 'emer-
gency' expenditures with the most
minute care to see If they give full
value in essential relief to the destitute
unemployed. That is the test. Every
dollar that fails to measure up to that
test should be thrown out-by Con-
greSS."

Under Consideration.

NEW YORK, January 8.-The New
York Herald Tribune says in dis
patch from its Washington bureau
that some of President Roosevelt's ad-
visers are studying the possibilities Of
extending the postal savings system to
include checking accounts.
Such program, which would be
limited to small accounts. would carry
the advantage of checking accounts
into small communities which may be
without other banking facilities.
II adopted, the Herald Tribune says,
it would be expected to increase by four
or five times the present deposits in
the postal savings system, which
amount to $1,000, 100000, thus opening
up an additional market for Govern
ment securities that must be issued
in large amounts in the next year.
Postal savings deposits are invested in
United States Government obligations.

sponsored by the White House or Treas
ury. the newspaper says. has not been
disclosed. but in any case the whole
discussion of the proposal thus far has
been extremely tentative and the dis
advantages have been frankly recog-
nized."
The administration has every desire,
the Herald Tribune says, to aid the
existing commercial banks to prepare
themselves for membership in the De-
posit Insurance Corporation. Still fur
ther monetary help through the r. F. c
is projected, the newspaper says, add
ing that in these circumstances it was
felt that the study of enlarging the
postal savings system was more Of an
academic survey than strong indi-
cation of action.
Sponsors Of the plan were represented
by the newspaper as being OF the
opinion that large banks would not OBJ
ject to losing small checking accounts,
which are expensive to handle. Small
banks would be expected to be more
strongly in opposition.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Presi-

Second readings of Mr.. Roosevelts

study his claim to the allegiance OF
all forward-looking men and wom-

party realignment movement ap-
pears to be proceeding briskly.
The President said the American
political and economic system is be-
ing rebuilt to New Deal design but
emphasized that the work was pro-

lean principles and tradition. The
political reference evidently was to
the two-party system. Discussing
gains in trade and industry and de-

Mr.. Roosevelt said:
There are assurances that heart
en- all forward looking men and
women with the confidence that we
are definitely rebuilding our politi-
cal and economic system on the
lines laid down by the New Deal"
The statement, coming six weeks
before general election, empha-
sizes the existing scrambling of
party lines. The Republican sena-
torial-congressional committee is
sued today an anthology of Demo-
cratic criticism of the New Deal and
charged that Mr.. Roosevelt was
