"The bigoted Nazis," he said. "are

"All men need religion because they
need courage. Religion teaches us
that in every life and in every age
there are emergencies that require
the emergence cf new courage and
new skill. Religion inspires the souls
of men to face life with good will
toward our fellow men and with the
morale to face temporary defeats
without despair. Religion shows us
that the world was never made for
towards or weaklings, but only for
the man with strength of character.
Religion, therefore. is the greatest need
of the gloomy world today.

F street that they pay practically no
attention to them.
Designed by the District Depart
ment of Vehicles and Traffic to give
the poor, downtrodden pedestrian a
break, they are ignored by those they
were intended to help.
One observer, during a two-hour
watch, saw only seven persons wait
until the light flashed the signal for
pedestrians to walk across the street.
All the conformists were women.
Three were elderly, with arms full Of
bundles. They looked as though they
were glad of any chance to halt and

commendable obedience to the traffic
law was somewhat destroyed later,
however, when they reappeared at
the same intersection, Thirteenth

waiting for the walk light to flash on.

SMITH WILL SEEK
FEDERATION POST
Announces Candidacy for
Presidency of Federal
Employees Organization.

Heralding a battle over the presi-
dency of the American Federation of
Government Employees, John R. w.
Smith, president of War Department
Lodge 90 of New York, yesterday an
nounced his candidacy in statement
which by implication was sympathetic
with the so-called radical" faction
now embroiled with the conservative
element here. The latter group is
backing Col. Charles I. Stengle, former
member of Congress from Brooklyn,
who is now attached to the head
quarters staff of the federation.
1.-THE administration of Government
employe organizations must be based
on exceptionally honest, democratic
principles" Smith said. Government
employe organizations should be ex-
emplary in upholding freedom OF
speech and tolerance Of the opinions
of minority groups. The suspension
and recall of individuals or groups
within the membership should be re-
sorted to only when all possible avail
able remedies have been tried and
found hopeless"
Threats to Seek Custer.
The conservative faction is threat
ening to seek custer of half dozen
of the opposition lodges at the con-
vention in Detroit this month, and
the latter are seeking recall OF four
local members of the executive council.
ho ho1iauoc oil tho in
ternal troubles can be smoothed out.
The four members of the executive
council who are under fire from the
six lodges were given vote of con-
fidence last night at a meeting of
A. A. A. Lodge, No. 116. at the Hamii-
ton Hotel. A resolution indorsing the
four council members was sponsored
by John Dwyer, president of the lodge,
and his conservative supporters. 1t
criticized the leftist lodges for con-
stantly embarrassing, harassing and
obstructing the program of unity OF
this federation" Dryers attempt to
send five delegates to the convention.
instead Of three, was defeated. John
Muzzey, Roland Adkins and Dwyer
will be the lodges delegates.
Another Postponement.
Meanwhile, another postponement
was taken today In the injunction
proceedings instituted by Justice De-
partment Lodge to hold the suspen-
sion ordered by the Executive Council
for picketing the department in pro-
test against dismissal of eight of its
members employed in the Federal
Bureau of Investigation.
The case now is scheduled to come
up in District Court tomorrow, but
whether 1t will or not is uncertain.
There is a plan under consideration
now to give the lodge a hearing be-
fore the Executive Council in Detroit
September IL. Should the suspensions
be reversed there, the lodge could sit in
the convention opening September IA,
from which, under present conditions,
it is barred.
The presidency of the federation is
due to be vacated as the convention
opens, when the resignation of E.
Claude Babcock is laid before the
delegates. Babcock handed in his
resignation as president when he went
on leave several weeks ago after a
move had been started to recall him
for an attack on the Roosevelt adj
ministration circulated through the
Republican National Committee.

Walk lights?" said another, II

Nobody else does, either, so why should
I? I'm in hurry"
One tangible result there seems to
be. Since they were installed last
May, not one single letter has been
received at the Department of Vehicles
and Traffic, demanding that the poor,
downtrodden pedestrians get break
by the installation of walk lights in
Washington. as they do in other cities
Which may be a break for Van Duzer.
