LINES
BEING LAID IN
RELIEF FIGHT
BY FRANK NJ. SMITH


Under the watchful eyes Of
packed galleries in the Senate
and House of Representatives,
lines are being drawn for the
1886 presidential election.
Political campaignerS from the
enemy camps are shooting test
bullets. Now and then a star
shell exposes the oppoSition's
trenches.
At stake at the moment is the
4,880-million-dollar work-relief bill.
Charges and counter charges that
inadequate explanation and delays
on this bill will leave the country
in such a bad condition that even
passage of the enormous appro-
priation will be too late are merely
a smoke screen to conceal the real
reason behind it's cautious con-
Sideration.
Elections at Stake
Administration leaders and the
opposition know that on this piece
of legislation rests the gigantic
task Of laying the basis of an over
whelming victory for the Roose-
welt forces or a miserable failure
at the hands of those who can
shoot the program full of holes.
Day after day there arises from
the floor Of the Senate a torrent
of words for or against relief as
the President plans it.
Regardless of what is under con-
sideration the opponents find an
opportunity to turn the thought
to relief and the money necessary
to carry it on.
Senator Huey Long who would
go the Administration one better
with his share the wealth" pro-
gram attacks it. Senator Carter
Glass CD of Virginia, chairman
of the committee that fosters the
bill attacks it. Senator Willard
Tydings CD of Maryland at
tackS it.
Fight Over Relief
Senator Long says it isn't
enough. Senator Glass says it's
too much and Senator Tydings
rises to remark that it will lead to
bigger expenditures and open a
faucet of Federal relief for State
projects that can't be turned off
easily.
From the other side of Senate
chamber is shot query after query.
Senator Daniel o. Hastings (RO
of Delaware, chairman of the Re
publican Senatorial Campaign
Committee declares the huge
amount of money in this and
other appropriation bills spon-
Sored by the Administration is
going to cause the bittereSt fight
in this generation.

CARDINAL HAYES
SERMON ASSA|LED
Protestant and Jewish CIer-
gymen Take Exception to
Birth Control Message.
sx the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 16-Thir-
teen Protestant and Jewish clergymen
believe Cardinal Hayes recent sermon
against dissemination of birth control
information to relief families was
"undemocratic and out of place in
America"
In an answer to the Catholic
Church official, the Clergymen de-
clared the cardinal was privileged to
prescribe to members of his own
church but not to members of other
churches.
The clergymen said they must pro-
test against any word or act of the
dignitaries of the church that would
in effect impose upon other Americans
the. beliefs and practices of Roman
Catholicism"
They pointed out the program Of
the American Birth Control League
and the National Committee on Fed
eral Legislation for Birth Control is
not mandatory but ''permissive."
I'VE agree Fundamentally with the
cardinal that the present social SyS-
tenn is unjust and that it is our duty
to reorganize the social order in such
a way as to achieve a more equitable
distribution of opportunity and in
come" the statement declared.
The cardinal however, seems un-
aware of the fact known to every
social worker and social scientist,
namely, that an excessive number of
children not only undermineS the
health of the mother but makes it
utterly impossible for the large fam
lilies to lift themselves out of deStitu-
ticn and despair"

PITTSBURGH, December 16.-
Father James R. Cox, planning

the Townsend plan, said last night he
had no desire to steal the show from

I'VE feel everything possible should

The priest, who led "Cox's army" to

rejected a request from the Town

I'VE ask neither blessings nor blame

to be the best advanced so far"
Father Cox said he had received

Burck's Probing, Expressive
Drawings Praised by Barbusse
''Great and Tumultuous
Spectacle Taken
From Nature''

Here is projected Kaleidoscope
film. Before your eyes there unrolls.
for you who are the workers of
hand and brain, for you who suffer,
who struggle for your bread and
for the future-you who may be in
the shop, in the field, in the office
there unrolls before your eyes a
great and tumqltuous spectacle taken
from nature.
These are not merely photo
graphs, but better than that, these
are the designs conceived and
created by an artist who knows how
to see and to show to you what he
has seen. A photograph presents
only an arrested instant of life. A
drawing gives you that vision Of
the whole which is quite as exact
but more complete. The pencil of
true artist is a perfected machine
which, at single stroke, creates
the synthesis and the general as
pect of individual portraits, and
which embraces many meanings
implicit in few lines.
That which you see here unrolling
before you is at the same time
drama and comedy. 1t is at once
frightening adventure and a gro
tesque history that is hardly be-
lievable, a monstrous farce, and this
tragi-eomedy is reality even to-
day. 1t is the drama of all dramas.
1t is not only something which
takes place at a remote distance
from your own body, it also touches
you and trails after you, and which
forces YOU, for good or for evil. to
play your role in this sad, collec-
tive snelee-the role of prime
mover, the role of mere instrument,
and often, dear comrades and
friends. even the role Of victim.
Nothing of that which you see in
