Gomez, who was born in 1857 of
humble origin, rose to power in an
amazing career.
He achieved his power by revolution,
overthrowing Cipriano Castro in 1908,
and thereafter retained his place in
the presidential palacio with a strong
hand, defeating dozens of other revo-
lutions directed against him.
He developed his country internally
largely through the oil deposits which
made Venezuela one of the most inde-
pendent nations in the world.

President and Gomez vice president,
Castro remained in power with
Comezs support until 1908 when, while
Castro was absent in Europe, Gomez
assumed power. He retained the
power ever afterward, although for a
few years he permitted another man

EPISCOPAL GROUPS
ATTACK EDITORIAL
Diocese Resolution Terms
"Unfair" Views Printed
About Archbishop.

Two different organizations of the
Episcopal diocese of Washington have
oficially "repudiated" an editorial ap-
pearing December 16 ir Washington
morning newspaper which attacked
Most Rev. and Right Hon. William
Temple, Archbishop of York and
primate of England. as another med
dlesome British propagandist."
A resolution criticizing the morning
paper and defending the archbishop
at some length was passed first by the
department of publicity of the diocese
of Washington and later by the Eps-
copal Clericus of the diocese, composed
of Episcopal clergymen in the metro
politan area, meeting in the parish
house of Epiphany Church. The reso-
luton was submitted by Rev. Thomas
F. Opie of Olney, Md, yesterday after
noon. DR.. George F. Dudley OF this
city presided. q.
The resolution declared both dioc-
esan organizations wish to repurlate
the editorial, published on December
16, in which ''undugnified, unfair ano
prejudiced references were made to
our recent distinguished English visi-
tor, His Grace, the Most Reverend
and Right Honorable, the Archbishop
Of York"
The resolution continued:
1.-THE editorial, Another Meddle-
some British Propagandist Is In Our
Midst is in our regard unworthy Of
the American press and conveys ar
impression not III consonance with the
effects and influence of the primatt
of England during his weeks sojourr
| in our National Capital.
1T is our Judgment that the Arch
bishop Of York rot only did rot con-
duct himself as in any sense prop
agandist, but that ne acted and spoke
while here with actual restraint II
connection with the political and in
ternatlonal situations-both at th'
time of his appearance at the Eng
Lsh-Speakjag Union dinner and il
his radio message to the American
public, no less than in his mastery
series of more intimate discourses Il
the clergy under auspices Of the Col
lege ot Preachers.
I'VE feel, that this prejudicet
attack on the part of press who's
attitude on certain international re
lations, and especially toward tn
mother country of England is wei
known, was inspired, not by a fai
appraisal of the dignif1ed and war
ranted expressions Of the Engnsl
churchman, but by narrower
nationalism and a limited view no
in keeping with the good neighborl
spirit and with international brother
hood fot which the Christian religion
which we represent stands.
I'VE rather agree. in the light o
all thai was said and done by tn
English primate while our guest, wit
the expression of the Bishop of Wash
ington on the occasion Of the English
Speaking Union dinner, that hi
visit was most opportune and propi
tious'-and we wish to assure tn
archbishop that this outburst O
editorial dissidence in no wise rep
resents the opinion of the American
public.
BE it resolved that this state
ment be placed on our records, an
that copy of the same be sent t

grace. tn Archbishop of York an

Democrat, of Texas, one of the orig
inal supporters of the anti-commun-
ism rider In the current appropriation
bill, again asserted the ban on teach
ing or advocating would stand.
Action Deemed Permanent.
As the provision stands now, he
said, it is permanent legislation and
will require definite action by Con-
gress to repeal it. Some time ago
Blanton said he would take action
at the next session of Congress to re-
enact the rider, but now he holds the
opinion that by preventing repeater
the law will stand.
The books of DR.. Carl L. Becker
the Board of Education Committee
found, treat with Communism fact
ually, but do not attempt to advocate
it. The committee also held that the
federation's citations. on which objec-
tions were based, were partial quota
tions that do not interpret the real
meaning of the contexts.
I'VE feel that such partial quota
tons are unfair and that proper
appreciation of the spirit and of the
purpose of the historical presentation
of the subjects treated can best be
illustrated by quoting the con-
text" the report said.
A similar finding was made in the
case Of a geography text by De Forest

BRITISH WAR
HERO, DIES

LONDON, June 6 G.N.SJ
Field Marshal ViScount Byng
famed commander of the Cana
dian Corps on Vimy Ridge in 1917
died at his home in Essex county
today following an operation.
A statement by his physicians
said:
Lord Byng developed acute
abdominal symptoms on the
afternoon of June 4, necessitat-
ing an immediate operation.
UnhappiIy, heart failure follow
ed and he died at 2 a. m. today"
A former governor-general OF
Canada, the 73-year-old warrior
attracted wide attention early this
year when he and Lady Byng
visiting Hollywood, accepted one
of Mae Vests famous invitations
They had tea with Miss West
and Lord Byng found her a fine
woman and typical American"
Son of the second Earl OF
STAFFORD, Lord Byng was sur
rounded by military traditions,
and won the rank of major in
the Soudan expedition Of 1884
AS colonel he fought in the South
African war and later in Egypt
At the outbreak of the World
War, Lord Byng was in command
of the Third Cavalry expedition
of the British expeditionary force
which saw heavy action in the
first part of the conflict.
The following year he com
manded the Third Army Corps
of the British Mediterranean
forces, participating in the fierce
action around the Dardanelles
BY 1917 he was back on the
western front to execute a mum
Der of brilliant strokes as heac
of the Canadian corps. His out
standing success was the capture
of Vimy Ridge, severely dentine

followed by his smashing victory

over the Germans near Cambria
in November of the same year.
The mighty spring drive of the
Germans in 1918 bore down on
the Byng command like a giant
roller, but his handling of the de-
Tense task did much to break up
that threat to allied arms. A few
weeks later his own corps was the
first to smash through the Hin
denburg line.

From his bed at St. Mary's hos pital this morning, Joseph Sanda, 21, of 72 South Leonard street, consented to talk to detectives about the assault of which he was the victim yesterday morning at 2:30 o'clock and which may cost him the loss of his right eye. San da declared that the man who as- saulted him was Q stranger with whom lie got into an argument at the corner of Abbott and Phoenix avenues ss's7 |.
 Police, nevertheless, believe that at least one more man was pres- ent when Sanda received the se- were gashes about the eye. Lieut.. Detective Matthew .Balanda and Detective Connie Shanahan ques- toned one possible witness this morning, but received no informa- ton of any value.
 The two detectives believe that the wounds about Sandals eye were the result of a blow from Q fist, one finger of which carried a heavy ring, from a set of brass knuckles or from blows from a shoe while Sanda was on the ground.
 Sanda was found at North Mair street and Abbott avenue at { o'clock yesterday morning by Lieut.. James Mulville, who was on his way to report at police head quarters. It is believed that the victims right eye will have to be removed. ..3

WALLACE MAKES REPLY ON FOOD

Philadelphia. March IF. (UP)- Economy based on a scarcity or goods was denounced by Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace in an address last night at Temple university. He denied that food had been destroyed by the adminis- tration and attributed the present high cost of meat mainly to the drought last year.
 ''There is a widespread impress sion abroad that we are continually destroying food" he said, But l do not contemplate we are ever going to destroy food. We never have. "There were about 1O,0OO,O00 acres of cotton plowed under and in 1883. We slaughtered about G. 0O0,OOO little pigs when they had reached 80 pounds instead of per hitting them to mature. The edible meat, about 100,000,000 pounds, was given to the federal emergen- cy relief administration"
