H. N. FEAST DAY
 WIDELY OBSERVED
S,9OO Units Participate in Nationwide Observance
 or Event

By special indult of the Holy eee on Sunday the Feast of the Hol. Name of Jesus was celebrated D. e,0OO branches of the Holy Name SO ciety, representing membership 0 two million Catholic men in tn United States.
 The Very Rev. T. 6. McDerniott o. P, s. T. Lr.. IL. D., provincia of the Dominican Fathers in Amer lea, speaking over the Church of tn Air, Columbia Broadcasting Systen national hook-up, said in part:
 Political concord throughout the world marked the advent of one who would bring humanity 2 new peace but, on this the name day of the Prince of Peace there Is forced upon us the ines- capable challenge that the world is again menaced by misery. suffer- ing and human bloodshed. A spiritually prostrate world is with- out the peace of Christ. There are wars and rumors of wars |. and this soon after millions have paid the supreme sacrifice to insure for generations to come the benefactions of Q Christian peace.
 This confusion, this distress of nations, this world without peace, this nation of ours without the sublime contentment of Bethle. hem is due to the fact that men have failed, or refused. to learn the lessons taught by the birth Of God in e dreary cave, the lessons founded in the humility, the pov. erty and the charity of Jesus Christ, the Goldman. Almighty God scourges the proud man or nation and the afilictions which we have impatiently borne may well be regarded as Q just punish- ment for ous supreme self.cen- teredness and self suf1iciency. The ceaseless quest for ob- jects that are the most prolific sources of individual and national disaster impels men end na- tions to deeds of violence fraud and treachery. The self.love 50 predominant in life today is a certain indication of decadence. It is one of the most dangerous af- fiictions that can strike a man or nation. The motives and ainbi- tions of men wno have held the positions of trust have been diametrically opposed to the prin. ciples of the Prince of peace. 1. . The spirit of Bethlehem and Cal- vary must transfuse all engage ments and agreements. "The Holy Name society, with it's nneIil- bership of two millions renews it's solemn pledge to carry into the life of the nation the homely lessons of Bethlehem that make for peace, prosperity and security and sends this message to the nation: America will live among the na- tons of tho world as long as the lessons of Bethlehem are learned and actualized. Tn the Peace of Christ we have the only salvation for America and the world"

 Members

Much to the relief of the assem. bled group of Rotarians at their regular weekly luncheon at the Elton today, Gene Oviatt, guest speaker for the day, announced he would not offer anything that even sounded like that new malady. "The Music Goes Around and Around" The Rotarians departed from their usual procedure today and instead of having 6 speaker they introduced the manager of McCoy's Music store in e demonstration of the new Vic- tor RCA machine. The machine, 6 combination of victrola and radio, was not offered for any commercial purposes. The main Idea of the committee was to offer something different. Music was the choice of the day.

Limited Press Stan COrrespOndentD
 New York, Jan. l4-(uP)--fRe- publican party leaders and the broadcasting chains swung lustily at each other today in a war over radio time for political uses.
 While President William 8. Paley of the Columbia Broadcasting sys- tenn produced figures to prove that republicans are getting better than an even break with the democrats, on the air, the g. o. p. radio commit tee announced that 1t had bought time on c Chicago station and would present the first of series of dra. matte propaganda skits tonight.
 Fletcher Accuser
 National Republican Chairman Henry P. Fletcher had accused the National Broadcasting company and Columbia of knuckling under to Q political party which regulates the issuance of your licenses" He argued that if the chains gave free time to speeches by President Roosevelt the republican party was entitled in fairness to. buy time for It's proposed dramatic presentations.
 PaIey wrote to Fletcher last week that appeals to the electorate should be intellectual and not based on emotion, passion or prejudice"
 Fletcher retorted yesterday that "this seems almost funny in the light of the impassioned appeal to class prejudice made by the president in his congressional broadcast on Jan- uary g."
 Radio Answers Fletcher
 Paley rejoined last night that from October 2 to January il Co- lumbia presented i6 political ad- dresses by republican spokesmen and 13 by democrats, and that 1t has four republican addresses scheduled before the end of the month, to three for the democrats.
 We refuse to sell time to any DO. litical party before the conventions, and we give time to both," he said. We believe that American broad casting would be greatly injured If we did allot such time on paid basis and allowed monied organiza- tions or interests to dominate the discussion of controversial public issues"
 Lenox R. Lohr, president of NEG, wrote in almost the same vein, tell- ing Fletcher that the proposed skitS would violate NEG policies which had prevailed during two republican administrations as well aS the pres. ent democratic one, and would place discussion of vital national issues on the basis of dramatic Il. cense."
 gletcher's charge that the chains were perhaps involuntarily con- trclled b ythe political party in pow. CT which regulates issuance of your licenses" evoked heated denial frcnn Palcy.
 "You are under a rnisapprehension in all of your assumptions that the federal communication commission could---even if 1t would-take puni- tive action against US for political reaSons," he wrote. "rhere is noth. ing in the federal communications law which would allow the commits sion to act from partisan political motives, and if 1t did 50 act, it's Judg- mcnts would very promptly be re- versed by the federal courts"
 Fletcher also took exception to the Columbia policy of not selling time on the air for political broadcasts unti lafter the party conventions in June and July.
 Objected to President
 "H am informed" he wrote, that both tho National Broadcasting

company and Columbia Broadcast ing system cleared the air of all pro- grams on the night of January 3 and January 6 for the president 50 that the facilities Of some 1sO stations were made available for what were in large part political talks of a candidate" he said.
 T assume that this was free time and the question arises, was this in the nature of Q donation to Q po- litical party by the radio companies or by the corporations sponsoring programs which were displaced by the presidents speeches?"
 Tt certainly was notl" Paley aEl- swered. Tt was Q donation to the American people. It has always been our policy to make time available for the president of the United States when he wished to address the nation. We followed this policy through two republican adrninistra. tions. We follow it now."
