Pope Warns of 'Wanton Nudity
In Paganised Life of Today

The Pontif then called attention
to another paganizing tendency"
He described 1t as "the unconscious
ness of the offense that is rendered
continuously to virtue by placing it
in peril as one does through the
mania of seeing everything. of en-
joying everything"
The Pope then expressed his high
confidence that your words and ex-
hortations in these directions will
not be extended without some fruit"
He invited the preachers, in their
sermons, to pay particular attention
to the truly afflicting and desolating
contradiction which one sees even
among the faithful. even among those
who frequently practice their devout
exercises, between the faith In which
they believe and the life they prac-
tice, between their professed faith and
their life with its strong pagan tend
ency."

PROBE OF N. R. A.
TO OPEN THURSDAY
Senate Finance Committee to
Call Richberg as First
Witness.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Finance Committee de-
cided today to open its investigation
of N. r. A. Thursday with Donald
Richberg, former counsel of the Re-
covery Administration and now di-
rector of the National Emergency
Council, as the first witness.
The committee debated the conduct
of the inquiry for more than an hour
in closed session today. but in the
end Chairman Harrison announced
that no plans had been made beyond
the calling of Richberg. Harrison
said a subcommittee probably would
be named to plan the future course
of the investigation.
There were indications of a sharp
division within the committee between
those who want to hurry up the in
vestigation in order to begin framing
new legislation and those who want
an unrestricted and unlimited inquiry
into the administration Of N. r. A.
and the operations of its codes.
Harrison said that Richbere would
be called first "in order that We may
get a picture Of the N. r. A. situa-
ton as 1t stands today"

HITLER POSTPONES
TALK WITH SIMON
Believed Offended by British
Charges Germany Is
Rearming.

(Copyrisht 1898 by the Associated Press)
BERLIN, March 5-Reichsfuehrer
Hitler today postponed his scheduled
conference with Sir John Simon, Brit
ish foreign secretary. "on account Of
cold.' but Berlin diplomatic circles
expressed the opinion that Hitler was
offended by yesterdays British white
paper.
These diplomatic circles character
lied the side-stepping of the confer
ence Thursday as "a diplomatic form"
of cancelling the long-expected talk
completely.
(The British white paper, given to
Parliament in connection with the
British governments plea for an in
crease in military expenditures, al
luded to charges that Germany was
rearming and said: This rearma-
ment. if continued at the present rate,
unabated and uncontrolled. will ag-
gravate the existing anxiety of Ger
many's neighbors and may conse-
quently produce situation where
peace will be in peril.')
Criticized by Paper.
The diplomats. as soon as they had
heard of Hitler's poStponement. i'm
mediately jumped to the conclusion
that Hitler was angry.
His newspaper, the Voelkischer Beo-
bachter, commented adversely on the
British white paper. The article was
believed inspired by Hitler himself or
by Alfred Rosenberg, the chief of the
newspaper and head of the Germanic
pagan movement.
The newspaper. commenting on the
white paper, declared:
1T is regrettable that England ap-
parently does not know what is essen
tial for conferences with Germany.
Its only reason is to justify British
armament, but it is noteworthy that
Great Britain published the book be-
fore the Berlin conference. England
obviously believes she can thus
strengthen her own position"
Throat Trouble.
Hitler's physicians we're responsible
for his calling off the conference with
Sir John. They described his illness
as 'cold and throat trouble"
The postponement came as a sur
prise to the German public and to
foreign quarters here because Of re-
peated official denials that Reichs-
fuehrer Hitler had throat trouble.

Open warning that the American
Legion has no intention of accepting
compromise on the $2,000,000, 600
bonus payment was given to Congress
today by Frank N. Belgrano, jr., Le-
gion national commander
After urging the House Ways and
Means Committee TO approve the Vim
son bonus payment bill instead of the
patman bill with its currency expan-
sion provisions. Belgrano was asked
by Representative Treadway (Repub-
licarO of Massachusetts,
Would you prefer payment of the
adjusted compensation certificates
with deduction from the face value
Of interest on loans obtained. or would
you prefer no apple at alp"
mo Compromise"
Belgrano reminded that the last
Legion convention opposed deduction
of interest and added
We feel that there should be no
compromise so far as the Legion is
concerned. I don't believe that the
Legion commander or Executive Com
mittee has any right to compromise
because I am thoroughly convinced
that II We stand. legislation will be
passed by Congress to give us the

sentatives appeared before the House
group after the committee, in heated
discussion, had rejected. IA to 6. a
Republican motion to call upon the
Treasury and Veterans Administra-
ton for an expression of their atti-

John Thomas Taylor. legislative rep
resentative of the Legion, opened the
attack on the currency expansion fea-
lures of the Patman bill by saying:
THE American Legion does not
want its legislation for payment Of
the adjusted compensation certificates
tied to any other type.
Fears Defeat.
We do not want stone tied around
our bill that will drag it down to de-
feat"
The Legion witnesses Endorsed the
Vinson bill, which does not specify
how the money to pay the two-billion-
dollar bonus should be raised.
How would you finance the Legion
bill?" asked Representative McCor-
mick. Democrat. of Massachusetts,.
The Appropriations Committee Of
the House would pass on that" Taylor
replied, And it is the lob and pre-
rogative of the Secretary of the Treas

do you favor two billion dollars in

Its perfectly unfair question"

sued, you come up here and tell us

MINERS WALKOUT
APRIL 1ENV|S|0NED
Lewis Holds New Contracts
on Wages Only Chance
to Avoid Crisis.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A Nationwide cessation of work in
the bituminous coal fields on April
unless new wage contracts are
negotiated in the meantime was held
out as a possibility today by John L.
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers of America.
Unless new wage agreements are
reached before April /, Lewis said at
a Senate Interstate Commerce Sub
committee hearing on the Guffey bill,
the miners will have no right to enter
the mines that day "and there will
be no work"
The union leader carefully avoided
any reference to a strike, but left no
doubt in the minds of his audience
that the union had no intention of
permitting its members to work with
out contracts.
Conference to Resume.
A conference of operators and the
union leaders is scheduled to resume
on March IL wage negotiations which
started February Is, but were ad-
JOuIIicu VA CklC
hearings on the Guffey bill to regu-
late the soft-coal industry as public
utility.
At the opening of these conferences.
Lewis demanded a 30-hour week and
q basic daily minimum wage of $3.50
for the miners. The demands were
rejected.
Lewis told the subcommittee today
the present 'demoralized" state Of the
operators had made it more difficult to
reach a settlement on the wage ques-
ton and minimized the chances of
negotiating new contracts before the
existinb agreements expire at mid
night on March 81.
Contributing to the "demoraliEa-
tion," Lewis said, was the operators
voluntary reduction of their realiza-
tion from production of coal.

"The paganized life Of today" de-
clared his holiness, "afflicts all open

Its wantonness surpasses on many oc-

Of nudity"
Speaking slowly and with emphasis,
the Pope went on:
In the olden times. nudity was In

VITO MARCANTONIO

THERE will never be another like him."
Il many persons IN Washington said sadly
when Fiorello La cuardia left Congress. For
years that gusty little gamecock, now New
York City's Mayor, had been an outstanding
champion of liberal causes in the House of
Representatives. Few approached him in eff
fective leadership.
But happily the voters of Mr.. La Guardia's
old district seem to have upset the dire pro-
phecy. Their new Congressman, 32-year-old
Vito Marcantonio, in a few short weeks has
displayed qualities that seem to mark him as
a second La Guardia.
Twice within week Mr.. Marcantonio
showed his mettle: First. when he led bril-
liant but unsuccessful fight against compul-
sorry military training in colleges. Then he
blocked passage Of the Dickstein alien depor-
tation bill.
The first was an issue Of goosestep educa-
ton and the second an issue of goosestep
political thought, both of which violate the
principles Of human liberty upon which this
republic was founded.

cent standard of living for the American
masses.
Too much, of course. can not be expected
OF this new service. 1t is small and poorly
financed. But its purpose is valiant, and, even
circumscribed as it is. it should prove useful
in helping the states. organized labor, en-
blowers. social workers and other groups to
unite for better labor standards. The division
will make available to these groups all gov
eminent information on labor laws here and
abroad. safety standards security measures
and other steps necessary to better the lot OF
the workers. It will help draft laws. investi-
gate industrial "sore spots" and make itself
generally a handmaiden to social reform.
There has long been need for such serv-
ice. The labor laws in the 4S states are
hash of good. bad and indifferent statutes
For instance. only "a states have ratified the
Child Labor Amendment. Only Is states have
minimum wage laws for women. Only five
states have embodied into law adequate safety
codes for industries. While "A states have
workmen's compensation, most Of their laws
are below the standards set by the more for
ward-looking commonwealths. The greatest
disparity exists in the regulation Of hours and
the type OF work for women and children.
Secretary Perkins last year aided in the
unifcation Of standards by calling several
regional conferences on labor laws. Now, by

the government hopes further to hasten the
creation of an American standard worthy the

HE'S SORRY HE CAN'T
BUY, BUT HE'S BROKE

BY Paul E. Smith.
AS a working man I wish to ex-
tend my sympathy to all businesses,
such as department stores, auto
manufacturers, coal yards, furniture
factories and hundreds of others.
The plain facts; I am broke. I
can not buy your products. Like my
self there are 100000 others, &C
cording to statistics, and other mil
lions not registered would, let us
say, make 100000 customers broke.
Now I made fair wages at one time
-Si3 a day. Needless to say, we
ate what we pleased, dressed accord
ingly and felt good toward the world.
Everything, the furniture, the refrig-
orator, the washing machine, the
carpet sweeper, and the coal in my
basement, was furnished by the
business man.
They have lost a good customer
by me, as in the 100000 others
now pauperized. All these customers
are indigents who you must support
with taxes. Here is the laugh, be-
cause you had an idea the working
class was beneath your notice you
had nothing in common with them,
you believe in rugged individuahsm,
you joined. the Chamber of COM
merce, the main function Of which
seems to be against something
