GERMAN FUSS
With CHURCH
NEARS CRISIS

BERLIN. March 10. F-A show
down appeared imminent Monday
IN the bitter Protestant church strife
as Maxi authorities pondered whether
they dared to force court trials for
the hundreds of oppositbnist pastors
rounded up in sensational weekend
arrests.
Some 1000 clergymen, 1t was esti-
mated. were either arrested in Prus-
STA and Saxony or ordered not TO
leave their parish houses without po-
lice permission.
Approximately 100 we're known to
have been caught up in the Nazi net
because they defied the secret police
by reading the violent anti-Nazi
manifesto issued by the Confessional
Synod q week ago.
Some OF the more militant pastors,
among them the Rev. Martin Me
moeller Of Dahlem. were actually
detained at police headquarters. The
majority, however. was placed under
house arrest"
The question in church circles
was whether the Nazis would ven
ture TO risk impelling the controversy
into a more violent phase by SEN
fencing the oppositionist pastors
who were taken into custody.
The Rev. MIR. Niemoeller. a lead
er In the Confessional Synod which
has stubbornly opposed the Nazi
program for unification Of the Ger
man Protestant churches, was taken
TO Alexander Platz police headquar-
tiers.
At least six other Berlin pastors
were taken to the same headquarters
after breaking their house arrest. Y
Many villagers found themselves
without church services on the Sab
bath as their pastors were taken
away to the nearest larger communi-
ty.
Catholics and Masons also were af-
fected by the Nazi campaign. Sc
cret police searched the convent Of
the Good Shepherd. a large institu-
ton in the north part Of Berlin, and
arrested the Mother Superior and
her assistant. No reason for the &C
ton was given.
IL was learned the Nazis raided
the Masonic grand lodge Of the
Three Globes in the heart OF Berlin,
taking both the Grand Master and
his wife into custody.
When lodge members met to con-
sider what action to take 10 obtain
the release of the Grand Master. the
session vas raided and wholesale ar
rests made On charges of holding a
forbidden secret meeting"

course"
Walker himself took the witness
box on the second summons and
told the court he was not entitled
to receive a pension from the city OF
New York for his services during %
years. He said he did not know II
his contributions To the DenSiOn fund
were In the region Of $4,000 but
that he thought they were at least
$1,000.
Saying he had not applied for the
return OF this money, Walker stat

AUSTIN. March lS.-PJ- Fed
eral Housing Administrator James
A. Moffett told the Texas Legisla-
tUde Monday the purpose OF the
FILA was to thaw frozen capital in
TO sound investments TO bring pros
perity and better homes.
He said the housing program
could be roughly divided into four
distinct but complimentary opera
tions-modernization. insured mort
gage. national mortgage aSsocla-
tons and low-coSt housing plans.
The moderniZation plan, first put
into operation, brought remarkable
results in stimulating business and
employment and loosening credit
for property owners who wished 70
improve buildings. Moffett said.
Saying that this was a temporary
measure that provided only for
existing structures, ne praised "the
permanent. far-reaching" insured
mortgage plan a Sanswer 10 prob
lens of ~elevating living standards.
Its purpose Is simply 10 make
it forever Sefe for financial agen-
cies TO extend credit with homes as
security" Moffett told the legisia-
tors. AS consequence, home con-
struction should 20 steadily onward
at all times. | believe this plan 20
be one OF the most important meas
ures ever developed for stabiliZa-
ton of prosperity
He said that under the plan a
person should be able To get credit
at any time. not have to stagger
under two or three mortgages o.
pay exorbitant rates. the interest
being 5 or 5 IL per cent.
The reason banks and other
lending institutions can afford TO
provide low rates Is found in the
insurance" Moffett explained.
The National Mortgage aSSOcia-
ton plan was explained Is provid-
