WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. -
(UP) - The senate interstate

reported the nomination of II. A.
NJ. Craven as a member of the
Federal Communications commits
sion yesterday after Chairman
Burton X. Wheeler of the COM
mittee threatened "a terrible blow
up" If additional reports of cor

sion reach congress.
Wheeler hastened to say that
his remarks in no way reflected
on Craven, who, with Frank Nc
Ninch, chairman of the Federal
Power commission, was nominat-
ed to the commission early this
week.
"The commission the Mon
tana senator said, "has been a
political football and it has got
to stop or there is going to be a
terrible blow-up. There has been
so much talk about corruption in
the commission that | am a bit
skeptical." He added that men,

CITY MINISTER'S FIND MORAL
CONDITIONS HERE CALL FOR
STUDY; TO PROMOTE INQUIRY
Disapprove Sunday Show
Boycott; Say Battle Not
a Losing One

Declaring that the fight against
Sunday motion pictures is not
over, "but that good has already
come out of it in that it has re-
vealed other conditions in the
community that need inevstigat-
ing from a moral viewpoint" the
Rev. B. +. Wall, secretary of the
Hendersonville Ministerial asso-
citation, today reported the adop-
ton of resolution by the asso-
citation advocating steps toward
improvement"
The resolution was adopted aft
er a committee of ministers COM
posed of DR.. l.. T. Wilds, Dr.. q.
K. Combs and the Rev. Mr.. Wall
had reported back to the associa-
ton that, despite their efforts to
have the city commission rescind
it's action legalizing Sunday NOV
les and to persuade the theater
management to decline to operate
shows on Sunday, they had met
refusal from both sources.
The movie ordinance was en-
acted week ago without advance
notice, although, it has since
been pointed out, a majority. Oh
voters in the city voted against
an "open Sunday" about three
years ago and no test of pubic
opinion has since been made.
The resolution adopted today
reads:
"In the light of other things
which have come to our atten-
tion in the discussion of the
growing tendency to CONNER
cialize Sunday, we ask that
lay representative committee
from the churches of the city
meet in the near future 10
carefully study the moral CON
dition of our community WIN
view of taking steps toward mi
provement."
The Rev. Mr.. Wall added tnat
in spite of the fact that the CITY
board and the theater manage
ment had refused. to adhere 10
the ministers request, we 1eel
that the battle is a victorious one
in that it has uncovered other
things, and acting in the spirit OF
Christ we shall try to help cor
rect them" .ro.,,,,
Terming a boycott a "fleshly
weapon" the Ministerial assoeia-
ton disapproved using 1t IN the
fight against Sunday movies, al
tbonoh such means had been sug-
oested, the Rev. Mr.. Wall said.

Sen. O'Mahoney demanded that
the Democratic senators punish
Guffey by removing him from the

SPEED UP WORK ON
MEASURES FRIDAY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l. (UP)
One Of the last major legislative
obstacles to adjournment was
cleared away last night when SEN
ate and house conferees reached
agreement on the Wagner hous-
ing bill.
After hours Of discussion of diff
ferences between the senate and
house provisions relating to the
new federal jobs created under
the act. the conferees agreed to
apply the classification act to all
employees, and civil service rules
to all getting $3.50 per year or
less. =.
In addition the senate retained
the right to confirm all employees
getting $1,000 a year or more.
Clearing up another disputed
point, the conferees agreed on a
provision requiring local commu-
mites to contribute 20 per cent of
the subsidies provided for in the
act to help repayment of the fed
eral governments loans for low
cost housing.
The conferees agreed to accept
the house provision limiting funds
for the housing loans to $780,
100000.
With disposition of the housing
bill, the only legislation before
congress was the $l40,OO0,O00
third deficiency bill which is in
conference. 1t is expected to be
disposed of in short order tomor-
row as leaders drive to adjourn
congress before sunset
Prospects of a quick adjourn
ment had appeared so bright late
yesterday that Senate Majority
Leader Alben w. Barkley, Dem,
KY, and Speaker William b:
Bankhead, D.. Ala, met to see II
the two houses could expedite
business and quit last night. They
decided against this plan and later
House Majority Leader Sam Ray
burn, D., Texas, forecast adjourn
ment "before sundown" today. !
Weary, their tempers ragged
and anxious to get home among
their constituents, members set
brisk legislative pace Friday. Inc
house, under gag rule, approved
and sent to the White House the
conference report on the explo-
sive sugar quota bill which is
threatened with a presidential
veto. It also accepted the senate
changes in the $1,00O,0OO tax
avoidance bill and sent the meas
ure to the White House.
Afterward, the house voted l93
to SO in favor of senate reSoiu-
ton to give general farm leglsla-
ton a green light when congress
meets again in regular or special
session. President Roosevelt de-
manded such assurance from both
houses before he agreed to au-
thorize price stabilization loans
on this years bumper cotton crop.
The resolution was attacked by
House Minority Leader Bertrand
Smell, or New York, as making no
more sense ethan for congress to
legislate in favor Of the Ten Com
He complained that
"it is just an excuse without do
ing anything for the farmer" ,
Likewise there still was no deh-
mite assurance that the promises
given Mr.. Roosevelt by congress
will forestall a special session to
enact farm legislation. The chiet

ond time sidestepped the question
at his press conference. ASKED
