valor was latent and unchanged. It
was to that original bias of Prussian
spirit that the Nietzschean philosophy
of the superman and the Houston
Chamberlain gospel Of the Teutonic
and Aryan supernation appealed, and
in the war that he saw to be immi-
nent Cramb believed that traditional
Christianity, with its emphasis upon
humility, mercy, justice and all the
herd sentiment of what Nietzsch
called the weak and the botched
would go to the wall.
This forecast comes pretty neaf
fulfillment in the aims of the Ger
man Christians and still more in the
German Peoples church (Deutsche
Volkskrche). which is the church OF
the Nazi movement. The purpose is
to capture the Evangelical church and
to make it an integral part of the
totalitarian state under Nazi direc-
ton 1t is to be absorbed as the
Youth Movement. the Labor Move
ment and the other secular move
ments have been absorbed.
But more than this, the doctrines
OF Christianity and even the Bible
are to be accommodated to the new
national creed. There is to be no
place in the German Christian
church for non-Aryans and every one
with Jewish blood in him is ipso facto
disqualified. The Old Testament is
repudiated as a Jewish document,
and a Bowdlerised Bible, which con-
forms to the ideal of a German
Christianity, is to be substituted.
* X x
have before me a report of a
meeting of the Peoples Church at
which Dr. Krause denounced the Old
Testament as "stories about cattle
dealers and procurers" and declared
that religion must be made to har-
monize with Nazi philosophy and that
q German Bible composed of the
utterances Of great Germans and not
defiled by Paul's inferiority complex
in the presence of God should be in
the hands Of all.
In reviving the religion of valor
and war and attaching it to the Nazi
doctrine of the totalitarian state,
Hitler's extremists have created grave
difficulties for him. 1t is not merely
the formidable conflict which it has
caused in the Evangelical church Of
Prussia and the north. Even more
serious, though less apparent. Is the
breach 1t involves with Rome in the
south of Germany.
Even so masterfui a dictator as
MuSsolini has found it necessary to
leave the church master Of the spiri-
tual life of his country, and there is
nothing that Hitler can wish less
than to have a complete rupture with
the Vatican. which is inevitable If
Goering and the German Christians
get completely out Of hand. It is on
this rock, II on no other. that the
Hitler -Goering partnership must
split.

PENNINGTON, N. j., Dec. "a
G.N.S0 .-Possibility of a delay in
the trial of Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann for the murder of the kid.
naped Lindbergh baby loomed to-
day as result of the disclosure
that members of the Hauptmann
jury panel of $50 had received
through the mail a booklet con-
tanning an imaginary story of the
trial of a case similar to the Lind
bergh case.
The pamphlet was written by
Mrs. Mary Belle Spencer, a Chi
cago lawyer, who characterized it
as a satire designed to poke fun
at the "asininity" of Americas
police and court system. She de-
nies the satire was aimed at the
Lindbergh case, although the char
acters in the booklet bore names
closely resembling those in the
Lindbergh case, names such as
"Colonel Limberg," Elizabeth
Gah,," and Colonel H. N. Schwear-
tupf."
Delay May Follow
Lloyd Fisher. associate defense
counsel, announced that sometime
today he will ask Supreme Court
Justice Thomas w. Trenchard to
discharge the entire panel and or.
der a new one drawn.
If the justice orders such action
taken, it was pointed out the
trial-now set for January q
might be delayed, due to court pro-
ceedings that necessarily would
precede the drawing of new
panel.
Meanwhile, all circumstances in
connection with the distribution of
the booklet we're being investi-

Prosecutor Anthony M. Hauck,
of Hunterdon county, announced
that one of the pamphlets had
been turned over to j. Edgar Hoo

Tampering Suspected
While the prosecution regarded
the sending of pamphlets to pros
pective jurors as a deliberate at
tempt to tamper with the jury in
Hauptmann's behalf, the defense
was likewise annoyed over the
matter.
Hauptmann's lawyers were rep
resented as feeling that the mail
ing of the booklets is reflection
on the intelligence of the jury
panel, and that the act therefore
will react against the interests of
the defendant.

pected to hold a conference late

With appropriations of nearly
100000, 100000 proposed by mem
bers of Congress or adminiStra-
ton officials, President Roosevelt
today faced a task to hold Con
eress within the limits of his own
spending program.
Demands by incoming mem
bers of Congress, both in Senate
and House, are expected to set a
record for peacetime expendi'
lures.
While demands always far ex-
ceed the actual appropriations,
the survey disclosed a strong
tendency toward expenditure OF
billions to prime the pump
rather than adoption Of a policy
Of strict economy.
Bonus Included
The proposals include the $2,'
100000 1000 soldiers bonus bill
which is conceded good chance
of passage in Congress with a
Presidential veto believed to be
awaiting it. .y..
Virtually all bonus proposals
provide for payment through in
f1ation. The So-called radical
farm bloc" will seek $4,000, ,000,-
900 through initiation to refinance
farm mortgages.
The biggest single program yet
projected is that of the National
Resources Board, which envis-
ioned an ultimate expenditure OF
$1O5, 900, 100000 for public works,
flood control, navigation develop
ment and similar measures.
The War Department also fore
sees the ultimate spending of $8,.
900, 100000 to bring the inland
waterways system of the compile
ton.
Grade Crossing Fund
In the public works field, Sen
ator Costigan (DO of Colorado
has suggested $3,500,000,000 for
grade crossing elimination.
Other public works bond issues
proposals, yet to be put into con-
crete form, are expected to run
as high as $4,000 100000.

ration has the backing of Senators
Duffy CD of Wisconsin, Wagner

Senator Smith CD of South Caro-
lima proposes $1,000,OO,000 for an

Lesser appropriations include
the old-age pension plan of Rep
resentative Keller CD of Illinois
estimated to cost $3.50, 100000 a

Gen. Hugh S. johnson and

"Yuletide telegrams" today carry

Mr.. Richberg, head of the Ma

announcement soon after it be-
came known he had warned the

Mr., Richberg said General John

Richberg was advised by his
friends to write the letter to the
publisher of the periodical, but
he said he didn't realize at the
time it would be interpreted as
being an attempt to disturb the
freedom of the press. He said:
II had not the fainteSt inten-

marked:
