More Than 100 Listed as

Abates in u s..
By United Press

A record cold wave that mas
caused more than 100 deaths and a
huge property loss in three days
retreated today, although snow be-
gan falling on Is states of the Mid
die West and South.
Fog increased the hazards of icy
roads and streets in the Great Lake
states and winds of nearly gale
force whipped from the North down
the Atlantic Coast as far as South
Carolina. Florida, most of Ala
bama and Mississippi and southern
Louisiana escaped the grip of freez-
ing temperatures, out the wind in
creased human hardships.
Forecasters predicted snow in
Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and
isolated other sections of the deep
South. North and westward, snow
was expected in virtually all the re-
gion from the Texas Panhandle to
Canada. Where snow failed, the
forecasters said, rain would fall.
HorticulturiSts said damage done

perature dropped to 80 at Tampa

kept frost off the trees on highlands
and smudge pots burned by thou
sands in low sections, but growers
feared heavy loss.

sons froze to death and snow caused

5000 Students, Mission
Leaders Open Volunteer
Convention Here.
CITY RELIGIOUS CAPITAL
World Famous ChurChmen
Scheduled to Speak
During Farley.

Indianapolis became the re-
ligious center of the nation
this afternoon as 5000 stu
dents and mission leaders
from the United States and
Canada and missionary fields
throughout the world met at
Cadle Tabernacle for the
opening of the Student Volun-
teer Movements twelfth quad
rennial convention.
Following an address Of welcome
by George Stewart, convention
chairman, Prof. Reinhold Niebuhr
Union Theological Seminary, and
John A. Mackay, Presbyterian
Church foreign missions secretary,
spoke on Two Basic Reaiities-Our
Christ and Our world"
The question is a perfectly rea-
Sonable one. The eternal situation
in ChriStendom is one of profound
doubt and uncertainty" DR.. Mackay
told the students Our generation
is one that has had its wings clipped
and its feet shackled AS the pSy-
chologist Jung has said, Man has
received an almost fatal shock, and
has fallen into profound uncer-
tainty.' Or, in the words of Law
renee of Arabia, Doubt is the mod
ern Crown of ThornS.'
Doubt is natural when we con-
slider the state of the world today,
which literally is chamber of hor-
rors and a wax works after 20 CEN
turies of Christianity. But it is
unnatural as the crown of thorns on
the brow of Christ, for doubt is al
ways terile and unecrative.
Externally. Christianity is the
object of a new and total assault
in our time. While the old religions
try to accommodate themselves to
the Christian principle, the new re-
ligionS of Fascism and Communism
take issue with the Christian ethic
Christianity is being charged
with having spelled the ruin of ma
tons and social groups. New Mes
siahs, new Caesars, new supermen
reply to the question, We will not
have this man rule over us. ,"
The students are to be separated
into 33 seminars after the general
meeting The seminars cover
topics from world peace to religious
liberty and are to continue through
Tuesday. The convention closes
Wednesday night.
Convention leaders have planned

State Promises Dividend on
Liquidated Assets in
Six Months.
PLOCH EXPLAINS DELAY
1864 Holding Stock in II
Marion County Groups
Are Affected.
BY JAMES DOSS

The 1914 shareholders in the II
Marion County building and loan
associations now undergoing liqui-
dation have a reasonable assurance
Of receiving a dividend on their
holdings within the next six months.
This was the reinsurance today
from the Department of Financial
Institutions, which is supervising
liquidation where it is necessary and
is insisting on vigorous financial
housekeeping in those associations
where a failing or insolvent condi-
ton is indicated.
The II Marion County associa-
tions in liquidation and the num-
Der of shareholders in each are:
Irvington Savings and Loan, 100;
Merit Savings and Loan, 81; Gar
field Park Building and Loan, 225;
Madison Avenue Savings and Loan,
Nos. 16 and IT, IS and al, respec-
lively; Occidental Savings and
Loan, 48; Lincoln Highway Savings
and Loan, A; Indiana Savings and
Loan, 70; Russell Avenue Savings
and Loan, No. 4, 70; Downey Street
Savings and Loan, Nos. Is and Is,
23O and 80, and Monument Savings
and Loan, 479
Liquidation Started in April
A talk with Carl Ploch, special
representative of the Department
of Financial Institutions for
Marion County, is illuminating and
may serve to explain the delay that
some shareholders seem to feel has
held up dividend.
In the first place, liquidation only
has been going on since April IS
of this year and some associations
have been placed in liquidation as
late as Dec. 7. In addition to the
building and loan liquidation, he
has had the task of winding up the
affairs of three banks, the Aetna
Trust and Savings Co., the Acton
State Bank and the Fort Wayne
Avenue State Bank.
These three banks represent the
interests of 1863 depositors. Since
Aug. l, 1888, the Aetna Trust has
liquidated 1901 ,O6957, This sum has
been sufficient to pay all preferred
and secured claims and 6212 per
cent of the general claims.

dated in all building and loan as

Plea to House.

By UhjtCd Press
PARIS, Dec. 2S.-Paul Reynaud,
former cabinet minister and pres
ident of the Center Republican
Party, today resigned the pres
idency Of that group because
members of his party objected to
his imprisoned attack on Premier
Pierre Laval yesterday.
By United Press
PARIS, Dec, 28.-Premier Pierre
Laval today won the most serious
struggle of his political life when
the Chamber of Deputies upheld his
foreign policies by a vote of conf
dence
The vote followed a masterful de-
Tense of his foreign policy by the
stocky premier. The crisis had arisen
following bitter criticism of LavaIs
part in the Anglo-French peace ne
gotiations which offered large sec
lions of Ethiopia to Italy.
The chamber defeated the Rad
ical Socialist order of the day which
criticised Lavals foreign policies by
a vote of 296 to 267, thus express
sing it's confidence in the Lava
cabinet and giving him mandate
to continue his government.
Laval made dramatic last
minute plea, saying Il ask myself
what crime I have committed
against France. This is a trial OF
opinion. Despite everything said
here, 1 remain faithful to the
League pact"
IF petrol embargo is to be eff
fective," he said, THE collabora-
ton of the United States is needed
and thus a vote of the American
Congress is necessary. This vote
can not be obtained until the Sec
ond half of January. 1t is for that
reason that the meeting of the
council at Geneva is fixed for Jan
20, as before that date the ques-
ton can not be settled"
