THE supreme council of defense

financing the necessity of national
defense In the eventuality of war"

MAIL PROMOTION
RULING PROTESTED
Post Office Clerks Seek to Over.
turn Decision of Nc.
Carl.

LEGISLATION to overturn a de-
cision by Controller General McCarl
limiting the applicability Of the auto
matte promotion law which Is re-
stored to the postal service July will
be sought by the United National As
sociation of Post once Clerks, it was
announced today.
The controller generals division.
given to the Postmaster General, was
made public yesterday. In it, he held
that postal employees will be eligible
for advancement on July /, next, only
to the grade that they would have
reached on July /, 1882, had not pro-
motions been suspended at that date,
contending that inasmuch as the law
was imperative in the intervening
two years that no credit could be al
lowed for that period. The Post
master General had argued that the
restoration of promotions should be
cumulative, and that the 500 increase
ordinarily due to be given annually,
now should be allowed both for 1882
and 1898. This makes a difference
of 5000, as under the Post Once IN
depreciation, a worker who should
have advanced from s1.7O0 to $1,000
on July l, 1882, now would Jump from
$1,7O0 to $4,000, while under McCarrs
ruling he could only 60 to 81 800.
"The vast number Of employees OF
the postal service, who already have
suffered loss of income imposed by
temporary waving Of automatic pro-
motions, now are doubly penalized
by the unjust Interpretation Of the
economy act the comptroller general
has seen fit to take" a statement
from the clerks says.
"As the comptroller generals de-
cisions are final and not subject to
appeal, the right to correct this great
wrong to the thousands Of loyal postal
employees, who accepted the temporary
delay in promotion in good faith, lies
in the hands of Congress.
I'm the short remaining time before
adjournment the United National As
sociation Of Post ONCE Clerks will re-
quest the Post Once Committees Of
both Houses to institute SPECIFIC
legislation restoring all promotions i'm
mediately, based upon the total serv-
ice rendered by all post ONCE clerks,
regardless of when the services was
accumulated"

NEWDEAL ATTACK
BYBYRD S|[ENCED
Senator Interrupted While
ASSailing RECOMMENDATION
of Business.

In an unfinished radio address, dur
ing which he was abruptly cut OF be-
cause he over-ran his allotted time,
Senator Harry F. Byrd, Democrat, Vir-
ginia. last night assailed what he
termed the RECOMMENDATION of Ameri-
can business by governmental BUREAU
cracy.
The Virginia Senator was on the
network of the National Broadcasting
Co., and was speaking into a micro
phone in the studio Of WRC. The
program called for q l5-minute talk.
At the sound Of the gong 1t was
exactly 10 o'clock, Eastern standard
time, but the Senator from Virginia
hadn't quite finished.
He was just saying:
For myself
Orchestra Breaks In.
Then he stopped; and the living
room listeners-in throughout the N.
B. c. network heard the snappy
rhythm of q dance orchestra. Some,
perhaps, wondered just what had hap
pened In the studio to make a Senator
break of in the warmest portion Of an
address in which he had ardently
viewed with alarm and just about to
point with pride.
Had television been perfected the
listeners would have understood.
For Just as Senator Byrd uttered the
words: For myself" the an
nouncer, noting the time. flashed
big black-lettered placard in front OF
the Senator. The card read.
please stop!"
Senator Byrd just stopped and the
band struck up and the dance was on.
Scores Regulation.
The Virginia Senator, however. had
managed to take sound whack at
the regulatory policies Of the Roose-
welt administration before he was cut
of. In his approximately 2,5oo-word
address, protesting chiefly against the
growth Of bureaucracy In Govern
ment and generally against any and
all activities tending to regiment
American business, he assailed pro-
posed extension of additional licensing
authority to Secretary Of Agriculture
Wallace.
Increasing regulatory policies Of the
administration. the Virginian asserted.
ARE inconsistent with the ideals OF
the Democratic party, contrary to the
Democratic platform, and will sooner
or later, If continued. consolidate so
many different elements Of opposition
as to menace, If not destroy. the broad
program of economic recovery spon-
sored by the President"

Churchmen Vote on Merger
Today After Hitting Mill
tary Training.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND. Ohio, May 29.-The
General Assembly Of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States today
sent a telegram to President Roose-
velt congratulating him on declaring
nitions destined to Paraguay and Bo-
ivia
The text of the telegram said:
"The General Assembly Of the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States respectfully sends to you. the
President of the United States, our
greetings and gratefully and enthusi-
astically congratulates you upon your
courageous leadership in declaring an
embargo on sales of munitions des-
tined for Paraguay and Bolivia and
we assure you of our whole-hearted
support in your expressed high hopes
that your noble action may contribute
to the re-establishment of peace be-
tween those countries.
After placing itself on record
against military training, the assem-
bly, prepared today to take up a
proposal for merger with the United
Presbyterian Church.
Opposition is expected from group
of fundamentalists headed by Rev. H.
McAllister Grifiths and Rev. j.
Gresham Machen, both of Philadel-
phia but a majority Of the commits
sioners Of the Assembly are reported
in favor of it.
nI,n rnnfnnd
that people devoted to the truth of
the Bible should oppose the merger,
met last night at the Westminster
Seminary dinner, but formulated no
plan Of opposition.
Hit by Former Head.
Rev. Clarence c. Mccartney of
Pittsburgh, former moderator of the
General Assembly, declared the pro-
posed plan for organic union Is not q
measure of true unity, but Of disunity.
It fails to provide for dissenting
CONGREGATIONS and leaves out proper
Interpretation of the historical Pres
byterian Westminster standards, he
asserted.
The step now up for action in the
Assembly is whether to refer the
merger proposal to the Presbyteries. A
church union would bring together the
100000 communicates of the Pres
byterian Church in the United States
and 100000 of the United Presby-
terian Church.
Military Glasses Opposed.
The Assembly adopted late yester-
day a series of resolutions prepared
by its Social Welfare Committee, one
of which opposed military training,
especially in our secondary schools
and colleges, as tending to cultivate
the war spirit and as distinctly anti
Christian in character"
1t also termed this military train
ing waste of the peoples money"
Another clause announced "our
support Of all conscientious objectors
to war" and demanded that they "be
excused from classes in military in
struction without loss in academic
standing"
Other resolutions asserted that "an
attempt must be made to secure ra-
tional planning in our economic life, d
pledged the church to renewed oppo-
sition to the liquor traffic, and asked
each congregation to combat immoral
movies.

TREATIES Hinder
ARMS EMBARGO
Failure of RooseveIt's Move
Seen Without Aid of South
American Countries.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Obstacles in the form Of treaties
stood today in the way Of concerted
action to cut of munitions from
Paraguay and Bolivia, battling In the
Gran Chaco.
President Roosevelt, in what was
called a step unprecedented in Amer
ican history, issued last night q proc
lamation outlawing the sale In this
country of war materials for the bel
ngerents.
It was the first such step taken
during the long and bloody war and
it placed the United States definitely
in the forefront Of other nations IN
the effort to halt the strife. Thirty
one countries plan to participate to-
morrow in a League meeting at
Geneva, at which a general arms en-
barge will be discussed.
Joint Action Necessary.
The Presidents advisers believed his
move might fall short Of Its goal un-
less other South American countries
joined in the action. Although they
are favorably disposed to do so, 1t
was learned, treaties with Bolivia and
Paraguay guaranteeing a free flow Of
commerce are proving hindrance.
The United States itself has such
treaties with both belligerents. There
fore 1t could not declare an outright
embargo. resorting instead to prohibi-
ton of sales in the United States.
Two years imprisonment and $780,
900 fine Is the maximum penalty Tor
such sales provided in the joint con-
gressional resolution under which the
President acted. He warned that vio-
lations would be vigorously prose-
cuted."
Text Of Proclamation.
After reviewing the provisions OF
the resolution which reached his desk
from the Capitol only a few hours
before the proclamation was signed,
the Presidents document said:
Now, therefore. I, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, President Of the United
States of America, acting under and
by virtue of the authority conferred
in me by the said joint resolution OF
Congress, do hereby declare and pro-
claim that I have found that the pro-
hibition Of the sale Of arms and mu-
nitions of war in the United States
to those countries now engaged In
armed conflict in the Chaco may con-
tribute to the re-establishment OF
peace between those countries, and
that I have consulted with the gov
ernments Of other American republics
and have been assured Of the Co
operation of such governments as
have deemed necessary as contem-
plated by the said joint resolutions;
and do hereby admonish all citizens
of the United States and every per-
son to abstain from every violation
of the provisions Of the joint resolu-
ton above set forth, hereby made ap-
plicable to Bolivia and Paraguay, and
/ do hereby warn them that all viola
tions of such provisions viii be rigor-
ously prosecuted.
And do hereby enjoin upon all
officers Of the United States, charged
with the execution Of the laws thereof
the utmost diligence in preventing
violations of the said joint resolution
