Friends who have observed Ethel
and Franklin during the three years
they have known each other say that
Franklin had regarded marriage as
inevitable from the first. And that his
somewhat pugnacious efforts to keep
the news of their meetings from the
papers was only natural in q young
fellow who was try.n gto shield the
girl he loves.
Like other Harvard men, Franklin
was affected by Broadway; on some
earlier occasions ne was seen in night
clubs In the company of this blonde
show girl, or that brunette chlorine.
In 1885, too, he took up speeding, was
arrested several times-and even
wrecked a car-until the president,
his unusually lenient father, turned
thumbs down on such hectic actiyi-
ties.
But now-all is changed!
Franklin, in speaking of the kin
bred interests of his fiancee and him
self said; I'VE like to DO everything
together"

TOWNSEND PAPER
ASSA|LS PROBERS
Administration and "FarIey-
ism" Also Targets of o. A.
R. P. Weekly.
BY JOHN C. HENRY.

The Roosevelt administration,
"Farleyism" and the Bell Committee
are set up as targets for vigorous
chastisement by the Townsend
Weekly in the latest issue of that
publication, dated June l.
With virtually the entire issue de-
voted to presenting the Townsend ver-
sion of the policy of the special
House committee investigating old
age pension plans, tomorrow's weekly
leads its front page with a four
column story in explanation of the
doctors walkout on the committee
May 81.
Excerpts follow:
THE conduct OF this so-called in
vestigation of the Townsend move
ment convinced me that II was pri-
marily political move such as has
characterized the present political
leadership of this Nation to intimi-
date any who dare oppose the New
Deal. Threats have reached me that
the ultimate purpose Is to use the
power of Farleyism to deny to our
Townsend Weekly and other publica-
tions the right to use of the United
States mails because of alleged use Of
the mails to defraud. This would be
curtailing the freedom of the press
with veiigeance!
Attacks Probers' Actions.
"' 1t became evident that the
chairman of the committee and the
astute attorneys connected with the
committee were proceeding upon q
plan to dig up all the private scandal
and filth which might possibly be con-
nected with the Lives o; any indi-
yiduals.
"The alleged sins or indiscretions o;
youth, occurring Is and even 80 years
ago. were uncovered by this smelling
committee in spite of the fact many
of these workers had lived useful and
God fearing lives while their children
had been reared to maturity in decent
homes -. One wonders what would
be the result If similar committee
clothed with the powers of Congress
were TO uncover all the private facts of
the lives connected with Mr.. Farley's
two-job political machine or his home
town Tammany Hall. or with the
Pendergast machine of Kansas City.
or even with the New Deal agencies

citizens are publicly charging the
misuse of funds and the fragrant use
Of relief funds for political purposes" I"

RESTRICTIONS
ON CHURCHES
TIGHTENED UP

JUAREZ, MEXICO, April 25. U.P)
= Tightening of restrictions on
Catholic church services by the Chi
huahua state legislature today af-
fected four Juarez priests, jubilant
since services were resumed last
Sunday for the first time in two
years.
The legislature amended regula-
tions to permit only one priest for
the entire state for almost 500,-
900 inhabitants instead of the one
for each 100000 persons previously
permitted to officiate, under a law
passed in 1888.
Mayor Jose Quayedo, Jr., of Jua-
rez, said he would order suspension
of services in one of the churches
in Juarez, to comply with the legis-
lature's decree. He said he prob
ably would notify the priests Mon
day, when orders arrive from his
brother, ov. Rodrigo M. Quevedo of
Chihuahua.
The decree, which will become law
when published in the Chihuahua
state governments official news
paper, probably tomorrow, allows on
ly one priest of each faith to Off
ciate in the state.
The Rev. Father Salvador B. Ur-
anga, rector of the historic 276-year-
old Guadalupe mission in Juarez,
said he would ask another federal
court injunction to restrain appli-
cation of the new law.
