PASTOR DEFENDS
 CHURCH DANCING


 Boston, April 15-(uP)-Edward Du Buron took off his shoes and stockings last night. cloaked him. self in different robes to express varying emotions and did some in- terpretive dancing with the Gothic chancel of the Church of the Re- demption. The dance was some thing new. in the church's ritual and the Rev Emerson s. Schwenk, minister of the church, prefaced the program with a short talk de- lending the ritualistfc interpreta- ton. While the barefooted Du Buron postured and pirouetted in his dance sermon, the church was darkened except for rose and lav- ender floodlights which played on the dancer in flowing robes.
 In defending the dance, Rev Schwenk said: There are various types of dances for love, war, reli- gious ritual and the basis for all this dancing is in the fundamental rhythm of life. The waves beat in regular cadences, the stars twin" kle, the seasons change, and the dances of modern timing all ex- press the basic rhythmof life. The religious dance is a reaching of t;e human spirit to the stars and It's highest example"

Harris Gets No Confirmation From State on Federal
 Relief Sunl-Saturday Figures Open to Doubt

Harris said that the exceedingly short notice given by the Eovern- ment would h ave precluded the possibility of obtaining accurate figures.
 T don't think Miss Little had more than 24 hours in which to send the complete figures to Wash ington," he said. The announced plans for the projects on which the money is to be spent. including those detailed for Waterbury, are all in tentative stage, according to MT. Harris. Some of them, he believes will even be found to be impractical.
 A large share of. the Waterbury allotment, according. to h e estt- mates, would be spent for cons struction of sewage systems.
 Expressing the opinion that there will be drastic change in relief administration in which the entire EZRA system may be scrapped, MT. Harris pointed out that the government trend was more toward direct relief. He said that the new policies would in all probability take off the work re- lief rolls the 'unemployable" type of workmen. The EZRA, mean time, will continue to operate through the end of the current month, and possibly for the montk of May, he said.

.BARUCH DIFFERS
 WITH FLYNN ON
 WAR FINANCING
Says Pay-as-You-Go Plan Would Be Handicap to
 United States

Washington. D. C.. April 15- GU. < P.)-The John T. Flynn "pay-as- you-go" plan for financing the next war was criticized to-day by Bernard M. Baruch, financier. He declared it probably would i'm peril the defensive power of the United States and produce inha- tion." Baruch supplemented his previous testimony before the sen ate committee Investigating muni- tions with a written statement Ito correct the garbled record.' He at- lacked the Flynn plan with mass of statistics and records regarding taxation, high prices and proflteei < ing. He asked the committee to read and insert in the record 26 page statement.
 Imitation Is Curse
 T agree with MT Flynn that a prime and continuing curse of war is infiation," he said. That he < should, as far as possible, pay as < we go and not pass the burdens of war and imitation to future genera tions, that we should see to 1t that z nobody profits by one cent from war. "But I must, from intense ex- perience, record myself in dis agreement with MT Flynn's ulti- {, mate conclusions. It is my judg- ment that the Flynn plan would insure an exaggerated imitation far greater than If there were no plan at all, paralyze war production and render this nation practically help less against q major attack by an enemy possessing an economic and Industrial system fairly compar- able with our own.
 Certain Returns Necessary
 "A certain return on money is necessary to make our industrial system work. Insofar as q penny of profit deriving from war is con cerned, I am for its utter aboli- ton. As far as all other profits and incomes are concerned, 1 pro- pose to go exactly as far in taking them as we can go without inter- fering with the free flow of muni- tions for defense. Tt is clear that business and industry is in large part activated by the spending and Investment of income and that if war government takes all of in- come, it will not hvae to worry about paying for the war. It will not be there to pay for it. Either it's conquerors or the commune will have that problem"
