by the spines, as the strange creature
moves upward. Its food is taken in

DEPLORES STATIC
 MIND IN CRISES
Constant Changes in Pres. ent World, Nazi's Philos.
 phy Features Sermon

"Once upon Q time Protestanta were known as the people of the Book said Rev. Dr. John 0. Walk CT in his sermon yesterday morning at the Second Congregational church.
 Rev. MT. Walker said in part:
 Tt is true that times have chang ed, that times are changing so rapidly that we need to constantly readjust our social, our economic, our political, and indeed our reli- gious thinking. It is Q disgrace to have Q static mind in the midst of world ferment and crises. We see change, ferment crisis everywhere in the contemporary world. A great many political and economic shib- b0letfs have been outmoded, great many of the old party lines are obliterated. There are the most amazing shifts and changes all along the intellectual front. Some of Us find 1t difficult to crystalline our so- cial and political philosophy but God forbid that we failed to learn any, thing from the Great War, the Mad Twenties," and the Great de- precision.
 One of the critical questions from the point of view of the church is the place and function of the Bible in times like the present. There are Q great many of our modern think CTS, leaders, writers who either speak of the Bible with disdain or calmly and quietly ignore it. We are to assume evidently that the Bible has nothing to teach Q scientific age, that the Bible has no answers to modern problems, that the Bible Is an tniiiteresting piece of ancient literature and nothing more. Tt might be said parenthetically that the latest considerable accession to this particular group is to be found in Germany. The National socialist party has made Q corscious and de- termined effort to offer on Aryan version of Christianity, Afyaia tEans. lations and interpyetat tions Of the more familiar passages of scripture. The Bible, if tolerated. must be brought up to date. 1t must be brought into line with the Nazi philosophy, 1t must De rewritten to meet Herr Hltler's approyall <
 What Is perhaps even more signi- f1cant as far as final effects and results are concerned is the general neglect of Bible reading on the part of the great masses of the people. And I am not talking simply of the people who are tseptics and critics of the church. If the truth were known I am afraid we should dis- cover that an alarming proportion of the people who are nominal church members are more or less illiterate as far as the Bible IA concerned. I heard our state ,super- intendent, Mir. English, say in Thomaston last Sunday afternoon that quite recently he had had . telephone call from c professional man of standing who had ques- ton in his mind. He had to call on MT. English for help. fWhere is that passage in the Bible which begins, The Lord Is my shepherd?'" Sup pose Q man in public life had, to call Q friend to find out who said, "that this nation under d0d, shall have 8 new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth" ss,

Washington, D. O., Dec. 1lth - Senator Lonergan (d. Conn.) today urged the President to recommend immediate action by Congress pro- posing Q constitutional amendment to enable the federal and state gov- ernments to tax the income of fut- ure issues of securities now exempt.
 Recent decisions of the United States Supreme Court, the senator said in @ communication to the President, do not provide any new departures In connection with the tax exempt problem, and he con- cured with the published opinion of Representative Fred M. Vinson. chairman of the House Ways and Means subcommittee on taxation, that the only intelligent course to pursue at present Is by consti- tutional amendment. i4
 Tax Problem
 Senator Lonergan told the presi- dent that the tax exempt problem has been debated up one side and down the other" for many years, and that both the House and Sen- ate Judiciary committees now have before them specific resolutions or, which to act, including one of his own, on which extensive hearings were held last year. F
 The sentiment of the country Is entirely in favor of providing taxes on future issues of securities, Serla- tor Lonergan said, but T am of the opinion that no definite action will be taken by Congress until the treasury or the administration talk es the proposal out of the status of debate and puts 1t into channels of action" M
 Authority Given
 The treasury has long been in favor of taxing the income from future issues of securities now ex- empt, Senator Lonergari said, pro- viding some method is found, by constitutional amendment or other- wise, to enable the federal govern ment to tax income from state sec curities, and to permit states to tax

 On Exempt Securities

 Action on Constitutional Amendment

income from federal securities. .Un- der such provisions there will be no disparity between federal and local obligations. The senator said that the federal government already has constitutional authority to, tax the income from It's own securities, but 1t would be necessary to pass a bill authorizing such a tax, as soon as the constitutional amendment is adopted. .|t.
 Cites Opinion
 Because of the urgent need for immediate taxes, 1t has been hoped, Senator Lonergan said, that some way could be found to collect the tax on the income from securities. These hopes had always been cloud- ed, he said, but have been practi- cally wiped out by recent opinions of counsel, and by supreme Court decisions. These decisions, he ex- plained, have broadened the auth ority of state and local governments over tax exempt securities, but only as a matter of interpreting definite statutes. Tn one of these cases, Hale vs Board assessment and review, dee cided by the supreme court of Nov efnber 8th, Senator Lonergaa said he based some hope that there might be some way to legalize Q tax on exempt securities, but an inter- pretation of the treasury department which he has just obtained, asserts that "the opinion in the Hale case does not appear to be novel or to provide a new departure in coinnec- ton with the tax exempt problem It is not felt that the department's position in connection with the tax ability of federal obligations needs restatement by virtue of this decis- ion or any discussion contained therein"

BY NEA SERVICE

The outbreak of a mysterious baby disease in Chicago's St. Eliz- abeth's hospital, which has already taken II baby lives, need not give undue concern in other hospitals or nurseries, believes Dr. Morris Fishbein, aditor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, and writer for NEA Service and Waterbury Democrat.
 Dr. Fishbein commented on the baffling and tragic Chicago case as follows:
 Outbreaks similar to the one which has taken the lives of some Il infants in the nursery of the hospital in Chicago are not unique, but fortunately are rare in medical practice.
