RULE TO CURB
ZONE PARKING

Drivers of commercial vehicles
in zones partly residential will
have to observe the parking law
because of a Traffic Court deci-
sion handed down by Judge Wal
ter J. Casey yesterday. Judge Casey
found Raymond r. Royal, truck
driver for General Amusement
Company, guilty of a parking VIC
lation in front of store at Elev-
enth and Monroe Streets North.
west couple of weeks ago. He
was fined So.
The case attracted much at
tention because similar parking
charges had been leveled at other
commercial vehicle drivers charged
with parking too long in front of
stores having residences on higher
floors. Traffic regulations decree
that commercial vehicles shall
park in commercial residential
zones only reasonably long enough
to transact business.
James A. Purcell, counsel for
Royal, presented a brief to Judge
Casey, which the latter has had
under Amusement for nearly two
weeks. Today's decision clarifies
the courts stand on similar cases
pending for action.

SCRIP MONEY
PLAN FAILS
IN CANADA

A scrip money scheme, which
during the last session Of Con
gress, was proposed the Capita
as a means of financing local re
lief activities, has been attempted
in Alberta, Canada, and within g
week came into popular diSfavor
according to an article in the cur
rent issue of Time Magazine.
Representative Isabella Green
way CD, of Arizona, was the
sponsor of the measure which
would have authorized the isSu
ance of the scrip in the District
Introduced in the last days of the
session, however, it received little
consideration and died in the
House District Committee.
Analysis Of Scheme
In an analysis of the experiment
placed in effect in Alberta by Pre-
mier William Aberhart, Time says
"Canada'S Alberta was last
week q proving ground for a
money experiment so fantastic
as to BATTLE financial experts.
The scrip issued had dated
spaces on the reverse side for
1O4 tiny 1-cent stamps which
must be bought and attached
week-by.week to keep the money
fresh lie. acceptable). Premier
Aberhart had produced q
money that was actually
cheaper to spend than to save.
"The prosperity certificates
started off fairly well. They
were used to pay in part relief
workers, legislature, Cabinet
members, Premier Aberhart.
They were accepted by most re-
tail stores. The first day, Al
berta merchants gave hard
money change to purchasers
with prosperity certificates las
the scrip was called. On sec
Ond thought they made change
in credit slips or required buy
erS to spend q whole certificate.
A list of wholesalers who had
agreed to accept certificates
from retailers was published.
LOADED DEALERS
First obvious injustice of the
new money was that 1t loaded
wholesalers with certificates for
which they were required to buy
stamps, could not be used for
purchases of good outside the
province. Premier Aberhart
promised to redeem part Of
their certificates each month in
cash to keep goods coming into
the province.
Second result was that, in
prompt accord with GreSham'S
law (bad money drives out
good, nobody paid for anything
in real money If he had Aber-
scrip to spend.
Presently AIbertanS began
to think. 1t was obvious that
the Aberhart dollars depreci-
ated one cent q week, and that,
to make up this depreciation,
AlbertanS were paying the gov
eminent 81 per cent interest a
year on their average weekly
balance.
Last week the Edmonton
Chamber Of Commerce called
the Aberhart money a heavy
and discriminatory taxation
scheme"
At the conclusion Of the frs
week of the operation Of the scrir
plan only two of the 218 stores If
Edmonton we're accepting un
limited quantities Of scrip.

.'HATRED,CHEAP
LIES LAID TO
C0UGHLIN

The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin
head of the National Union fol
Social Justice, today was aSSailec
as a "tawdry hate-monger."
A Scathing attack on the De
troit radio priest was made BY
Rabbi Norman Gerstenfeld at the
Sabbath services at the Wash
ington Hebrew Congregation in
an address entitled. "A Rabbi
Looks at Coughlin." The ad
dress was broadcast over station
WJSV.
Father Coughlin was branded
as an "ignoble demagogue" BY
Rabbi Gerstenfeld, who further
charged that the priest is harm
ing the Catholic Church, drag
ging 1t in the mire through ZAP
peals to hate and greed"
Motives ASSaiIed
Commenting on the address
by Father Coughlin at the re
cent Cleveland meeting of his
group, Rabbi Gerstenfeld de
clared:
81 did not want to intrude
on political and economic is
sues in which 1 could not pass
judgment, but there was a note
struck at this Townsend con-
ventiOn that could not remain
unanswered by any decent citi-
zen Of this country.
Father COughlin spoke not
only without his coat and vest,
but without even the minimaI
VeStmentS of fair play and with.
out the remOteSt evidence Of the
tolerant kindness of the code
of q gentleman, without which
democracy is impossible and re-
igiOnS meaningless"
ASSailing the motives of the
priest, the rabbi charged:
Father COughlin brings his
cheap lies and black hatredS and
thereby tries to achieve power
power not for his church nor for
the worthy things Of American
life, but power for the forces of
evil and, primarily, power for
himself"
FINDS 1T DISAPPOINTING
at is disappointing to meet a
member of the Christian minis
try whose spirit is SO alien to
the gentle soul of the great Mas
ter of Nazareth to whom he pays
his lip homage; but it is utterly
unbelievable that a member of
the great church can be SO ig-
norant Of his Bible.
Father COughlin does not
seem to know that Love thy
neighbOr as thyseIf' is a quota
ton from the Old Testament,
and if he had been able to
read the Talmud he would have
known that the statement, Eye
for eye and tooth for TOOTH
was never meant literally.
But why expect Father
COughlin to know the Talmud
when, in the words of MOnSig-
nor Ryan, Of the Catholic Uni
versity of Washington, Cough
lin does not even understand
his Bible"
IGNOBLE DEMAGOGUE
Branding Father Coughlin as
an "ignoble demagogue," Rabbi
Gerstenfeld said:
"But how can you expect an
lgnOble demagogue like Father
COughlin to understand the
noble idealism Of that great
Jewish sage Of Nazareth? Per-
hapS he is introducing a modern.
istic version of the Sermon on
the Mount.
How can we trust the 16
points for American economic
salvation of this priest who is
willing to violate the Ten Com
mandmentS? Thou Shalt Not
Bear False Witness Against Thy
NeighbOr' is q part Of CathOli-
Cism as well as Judaism.
"For Father Coughlin to be
ignorant Of the specialized prob
lens of economies or politics
would be no reflection on his
function as a priest. But If, as
. priest, he shows himself with.
out the humble spirit or religious
knowledge of an honest priest
hood, how can he be trusted In
anything?"

ELKS BACK PLAN FOR CHILDREN'S
 PLAY FACILITIES
Judge Alexander Urges Need Be Filled in Propos-

A resolution was passed unani- mously at the meeting of the Elks Lodge last night requesting that pro- visions for recreational needs of children be incorporated in the plans for the proposed new City Library, according to Judge George F Alexander, who appeared as a special representative of the Elks Lodge at the Chamber of Commerce meeting at the Terminal Cafe today.
 The original plans contemplated by the City Council two years ago called for three-story, or two-story and basement, building, Judge Alex ander said one floor to be occupied by the Library, one floor to house the Council Chamber and City offices, and the third floor to be devoted to recreational facilities for children. There is practically no place here for children outside of school hours, Judge Alexander said.
 No Added Expense
 Aside from the cost of the build ing, there would be no added expense to the City in providing recreational facilities for children, Judge Alex ander said, as the cost of equipment could be raised by popular subscrip- tion.
 T don't know of any better invest ment that can be made by this or any other community" Judge Alex ander said than building of that character. It will certainly be fine investment in citizenship"
 The provision requested by the Elks Lodge was referred to H. L. VanderLeest, Chairman of the Civic Improvement Committee. for con- sideration No report with regard to the new City Library from the com mittee headed by Mir VanderLeest was forthcoming at the meeting to- day as such report cannot be made until plans for the proposed build ing are available.
