 Now in Congress

Detroit, May 2O--(U. P.)~4Rev. Charles D. CouRhiin, Militant priest and organiser of the National Union for Social Justice, to-day put forth the opening ''wedge" of his light tor passage of the Nye- sweeney banking bill. An iInme- diate hearing has been asked Of the banking and currency commit tee, the priest said, and witnesses "are being assembled in .expecta- ton the senate committe will set aside time to exhaust arguments for or against this essential bank ing reforin,' Testimony of Henry Morgenthau, Jr., secretary of the treasury. before the senate banking and currency committee, recom- mended to congress just what we have been advocating for two yeaFs," the priest said.
 Morgentliau Is First
 "Morgenthau, not satisfied with the Eccles bill which proposes to control and not own the federal reserve system, is the first official national figure to propose for leg tslation government ownership of the central banking system. "En- courased by his testimony" Father Coughlin said, "The National Union has applied for an imme- diate hearing of the bill we have sponsored to restore to congress its right to coin and regulate the value of money. Owners of these banks, (the 12 federal reserve branch n n vN Ya /. money as to render 1t unavailable thus preventing operation of fac- tories. sane distribution of wealth and the opportunity to enjoy pri- vate ownership of homes and farms"
 Tt is to be hoped" Father Coughlin said, ''that Morgenthau has expressed the adopted views of the entire administration. N. U. s. J. members must teach fellow members the necessity of passing this legislation.
 Up To Congress
 "At the proper moment, using the right of petition, we will ex- press with unprecedented insist ence our views on this matter to congress and senator's" It was as- sumed the priest meant he would as members of the N. U. S. J. to send telegrams similar to the bar rage which descended on Wash ington following his plea for the Patman bonus bill and defeat of the World Court. Father Coughlin said that in some quarters it was rumored the Nye-Sweeney bill would be introduced for debate at this session of congress with the hope of defeating 1t before the N. U. s. J. grows too great"

mind and approved the $2,200,- 900. .000inflationary bill
 Their visit to the White House was futile and the bonus support CTS knew it.
 The president, refreshed by a weekend cruise, had his veto determined to proceed with his plan to go before congress per- sonally. probably on Wednesday, and make fighting appeal for re- jection of the bill.
 Bonus forces. realizing the futility of arguments to the presi- dent, concentrated their efforts on the senate, where few votes will decide whether the bill is to be enacted over the veto.
 The American Legion singled out a group of 12 senators whom it considered to hold the key to the situation. It concentrated its pressure on them.
 The house bonus steering com mittee, headed by Rep. Wright Patman, D., Tex, had made its appointment with the president before he announced his plan to deliver the veto message in per son. This decision killed all their hopes but they delivered 10-page set of arguments to the president
 It was clearly indicated in the committees demeanor that no en- couragement was received.
 Their statement contended thai leash payment of the adjusted service certificates will not be a dole. It will be the payment of q just obligation; it will be the pay ment of debt owed by all classes to one class. It will prove t h a Americans still regard heroism us a virtue; and that our gratitude does not melt away with the com ing of peace"
 One member described the meet ing as final gesture"
 The president kept the after noon open for final work on ms veto message.

TWO ENCLISHMEN
 MADE SAINTS AT
 ROME YESTERDAY
Thomas More and John
 Fisher HonOred By the Holy POntiff

Vatican City. May 20-(U.P.)- Roman Catholic churchmen await ed to-day British reaction to plea to members of the church of Eng land to return to the mother church. Pope Plus made the plea yesterday at service at St Peters in which the Blessed Thomas More and John Fisher were made saints men to be honored since the re- formation.
 Plea of POntiff
 The Pope's plea to England was: "Let those who are still separatsd sd from us consider attentively the ancient glories of their church, which are both a reflection and an increment of the glories of the Church of Rome. "Let them con- sider and remember that this apos- tolic See has been waiting for them so long and so anxiously not as coming from a strange dwell- ing place but as finally returning to their paternal home" Sir Thomas More, Lord Chancellor of England, and Cardinal Fisher were beheaded in 1536 because they would not recognize Henry VIII as supreme earthly head of the Church of England. They were beautified by Pope Leo XIII in 1892.
 Services Yesterday
 The service at which they were made saints yesterday was one marked by pageantry of the times in which they sacrificed their lives. A procession of Vatican guards, high church prelates and others preceded the Palanquin in which Pope Plus was carried from the Sistine chapel to St Peters, in his robes of state and wearing his triple crown. The chapel of the sacrament the pope donned his sacred vestments and remounting his palaquin was carried to the altar of the cathedral where he prayed. A mitre replaced his crown. He mounted the dais of the throne and received the homage of his cardinals and other dignitaries.
 The cardinal procurator asked the pope to add the names of the martyrs to the list of the saints. The pope prayed and announced that the request was acceptable to God an dhad the approval of the Pope as his Vicar on earth. Then. putting on the robes of a doctor of the church, the Pope solemnly proclaimed the martyrs saints.

Widow Awarded For
 Death Of Husband
Mrs CarOIotta Gomez Given Compensation of $5,2OI; Store EmpIOye Also Beneficiary Under Ruling

today, Henry Maglio of 22 Geddes terrace is awarded $5 weekly for lO5 weeks and medical expenses arising from the loss of the tips of four fingers of his left hand severed by meat cutting machin. cry in the store of Tony Di Stasio of 535 Congress avenue. Commis- sioner Lych finds the respondent, although not hiring five regularly in his establishment, did have the claimant in this case come in every Saturday, thereby qualifying him as a regular employe. Under the law an employer only comes under the jurisdiction of the compensa- ton statutes when five or more persons are employed.
 Commissioner Lynch finds that DeStasio has paid the sum of $48 to the injured workman since the date of the injury, last November, so that sum is to be deducted from the payments the employer is re- quired to make. In addition, the respondent Is to pay the bill of pr. John J. Mullen, amounting to $15O and the s145 bill of St. Mary's hospital. The finding states that Dr. Mullen and pr. Andrew .l. Jackson agree that the workman suffered 60 per cent loss of use of his left hand by the injury.
