METHODISTS ON
 BIRTH CONTROL

Columbus, O., May 16.--(UP).--A flood of telephone calls from "quacks" anxious to profit by an affirmative report was credited to- day by churchmen with inspiring subcommittee recommendation that the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church make no formal pronouncement on birth control.
 John w. Langdale, New York Methodist book editor and chair man of the subcommittee which voted 68 to 1 last night against a positive stand, said that his group was deluged by telephone calls when 1t became known Q report on birth control was in preparation.
 "The hectic atmosphere created by queer organizations and individ. lals who urged an affirmative stand and apparently planned to profit by it," Langdale said, made us afraid that any statement would be nlis- understood by the propagandists and give our church people the iri- pression we place too much impor- tance on the matter" .
 The subcommittee reports that It is @ major responsibility of Protes- tant Christian churches to urge Christian people to recognize the importance of reproduction, rather than birth control, 50 that good blood might not be wasted"
 Langdale added that the commit tee took the stand husband and wife had the moral right" to consult Q family physician if they 50 desired

 North Jersey labor generally ap- pears to be friendly toward the New Deal despite disappointrnentS under the national industrial recovery act and employment troubles in this city which once was the silk capital of the United States.

 The Ellenbogen bill has been re- ported favorAbly by the house labor committee. But the rules commit. tee which determines New Deal policy In the house has not acted yet to permit c vote. As 1t stands the bill has been shorn of It's nninl- mum wage provisions. But 1t would establish maximum hours and At- tempt to regulArise and organize the textile trade.

 Reports of . socialist swing to. ward the New Deal suggests that many conservative defections from the Roosevelt administration have been offset in New Jersey by recruits from the more radical political forces.
 New Jerseys primary next Tues- day may not clearly reflect this shift. MT. Roosevelt is not entered in New Jerseys advisory preferen- tial presidential contest. He has . full slate of delegates entered and they will he voted Into seats at tho democratic national convention. But the preferential poll is limited to Col.
