BuchmaniSm

The arrival Of q transatlantic
liner, while common enough. is
always an event in New York. The
reason is simple. Among the 1900
or more passengers one may count
on at least so notables, q Mr..
Morgan, say, or q premiere dan
seuse, q diplomat or a professional
gambler.
Names make news and news
makes the headlineSI"e That is an
axiom Of one Of our foremost pub
fishers; and three or four times a
week a bostload Of names and
news comes past the Statue Of Lib
erty to the long, steel piers along
the lower Hudson.
The Europa arrived the other
night with its quota. One Of the
celebrities was a veteran traveller,
but it was 16 months since he had
felt the cobblestoneS Of West
Street under his feet.
He had spent his absent time in
various parts Of the world as the
apostle Of his religious movement,
which has made surprising growth
in the Is years Of its existence.
| A squat, baldheaded, bespec-
tacled man Of 81 is the Rev. Frank
Buchanan. He could hardly be
called impressive. In fact, one does
not quite take to him at first
meeting. He is Of Pennsylvania
Dutch stock and is a Lutheran
minister, although he does not
wear clerical garb. AS q young
man he did Y. M. c. A. work on
college campuSes here and abroad.
FIVE C'S
While so engaged he received
his message and began to preach
his doctrine Of the five C's: Conf
dence, Confession, Conviction, Con-
version and Continuance.
Cambridge University was his
first field, and it proved a barren
one. The undergraduates did not
take kindly to the Rev. Mr.. Buch-
man creeping up on them and
shooting the question, Are you
all right with God?" It was no
go, especially when the young men
took to calling him "Old Moral
Uplift." Undaunted, the minister
moved over to oxford University,
where his seed hit upon good
ground.
Oxford took to it avidly, so
much so that BuchmaniSm is best
known today as "The oxford
Group Movement" Its other
names are "Tne Groups" and "a
First Century Christian Fellow
ship"
The last title is a good one,
since there really is little new
about it. A Methodist minister
has described it as something
which the Methodist Church gave
up 40 years ago as too dangerous.
He was referring to the old-time
camp meeting with its Sawdust
trail and the hysteria of the sis
terS and brethren who had de.

SEVERE CRITIC

Representative j. Hamilton
Fish, of New York, who declares
that unless the Republicans pick
a strong candidate he will enter
the fray himself, has been one
of the most severe critics of the
Administration.
He has loudly denounced almost
all of the activities Of the Raw
Deal and now says that the
G. o. P. must select leader Of
renown.
In his criticism Of the Repub'
lican party, Fish declared:
"a number Of articles have ap.
peared in the press recently stat
ing that I was a candidate for the
Republican nomination for Presi'
dent. 1 have never stated that
I was a candidate, nor have I au-
thorized anyone to throw my hat

Proposals that Army aviators
be dispatched to search South
American jungles for the long.
lost Paul Redfern cause the War
Department considerable amuSe-
ment.
Officials point out that it
would be what almost amounts
to an iInpossibility to send Army
aviators across the wilderness In
quest Of the missing flier.
To make such a flight, Army
aviatorS would be forced to Sc
cure official permission from the
governments Of the countries over
which they planned to fly before
they could make the trip.
In this particular instance the
rumors of Redfern's existence
have not placed him in definite
locality and the Army fliers
would not be certain what per
missions to secure.
COMPLICATIONS
While the expedition would be
one of mercy, the War Depart
ment points out that foreign avia'
tors are always forced to secure
consent before flying over this
country.
Even Gen. Italo Balbo and
his squadron had to secure per
mission to fly across the country
when they scared across the
United States to the Worlds Fair
at Chicago.
The only way that Army avia-
tors could make the search for
Redfern, according to the War
Department, would be to secure
leave and then fly private planes.
VARIED
Careers of Gen. Hugh s.
johnson are becoming so numer-
GUS that it will soon be difficult
to catalogue his activities.
Since the inception Of the pres
ent Administration he has been
dictator Of the NRA, expended
much Of his time in a New York
ctore autographing his books for
boys, directed the WPA in New
York and is now offered the job

Do We Need Them?

The Washington Taxpayers Association has made an
interesting and IMPORTANT point in connection with
the work of the Alley Dwelling Authority.
The Association points out that in alley which the
Authority is clearing of dwellings and in which it pro-
poses to erect dozen garages THERE ARE NOW
SEVENTEEN GARAGES, PRIVATELY OWNED
WHICH CANNOT BE RENTED
These garages, built by priUate capital and paying
taxes uO hupe to compete tOith the to be
built by the taxes they haze paid and Which Oiu
sun1ably be tGx-exerpt.
If the individual Of the garages in this alley
cannot rent them now what chance will they have when
additional garages are built?
Everyone in Washington wants to see the alley dwell
ings eliminated
We all to the folks Uho haze had to iOe in
unsGntdry, ranashace houses in the alleys nOUed into
clean, comfortable modern homes
BUT, IS IT NECESSARY IN ACCOMPLISHING
THIS OBJECTIVE, TO WEAKEN THE VALUE OF
PRIVATELY OWNED ALLEY PROPERTY BY
ERECTING AT GOVERNMENT EXPENSE, sTRUC
TUREs WHICH WILL OPENLY COMPETE WITH
THOSE PRIVATELY OWNED?
It is widely known fact as the Taxpayers Associa-
ton points out that alley garages now drug on
the market.
With rentals fantasticay ow great groups of garages
are now standing empty.
They aren't earning enough to meet the present
local tax bills and there is little prospect that they will
ever earn enough to meet the BIGGER TAX BILLS
THAT ARE THREATENED.
The Alley Dwelling Authority has been given half a
million dollars as revolving fund to finance its efforts
to eliminate alley dwellings.
The fund.- apparently isn't reOOlOing properly bat is
all going and therefore the Authority GUu probably
hGUe go Congress and ask for additional at
the next session.
In order to carry out the desired clearance program it
will undoubtedly have to have the money, but the money
will have to out Of the pockets Of those whose prop
ey has been made useless because of the activities Of
the Authority.
Possibly the difficulty which has arisen might be
Aroned out if the Alley Dwelling Authority would
municate with that brilliant Raw Dealer who recently
discovered that COWS give milk.
HE COULD FURNISH MILK-GIVING COWS TO
THE AUTHORITY WHICH COULD INSTALL THEM
IN IT'S PROJECTED GARAGES AND THE PRODUCT
COULD BE DISTRIBUTED FREE, OF COURSE, TO

7GREKT GOLF
By Art Krenz

The last foreign golfer to win
our National Open was Ted Ray.
He annexed 1t in 1920 at Inverness
in Toledo by beating par four
times, to score brides on the sew
enth hole,
The seventh at Invesness is a
famous dogleg that has occupied
the spotlight for years. 1t is SIS
yards via the fairway and permits
no off.line or careless tee shots.
Hazards line both sides, with traps
before and behind the green.
Three times Ray took the short
route and but once made the jour-
ney by the longer and safer way
around. With one booming tee
shot, he actually drove the green
2S5 yards and in full view from
the tee.
The four brides were needed in
the final tabulations. Had he
missed but one, he would have
fallen into a tie with Vardon, one
of his countrymen, Hutchinson, Leo
Diegel, and Jack Burke. These
four golfers finished one stroke
behind Ray in a tie for second
place.
More bad tee shots can be
chalked up against improper piv-
citing than any other fault. The
