sured the Maritime Commission they
were ready to proceed with construc-
ton Of go new vessels over a five-year

the Maritime Commission can aid only

insure up to. rs per cent Of domestic
ship construction mortgages totaling
not in excess Of $780, 100000.
In further effort to attract private
capital to the industry, the bill would
extend to 10 years the period for de-

METHODIST UNION
UP TO DELEGATES
Bishop Moore Tells flushed
Crowd Merger Has
Units Approval.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM Ala, April o.
Fate of plan to merge three great
branches of Methodism was placed
today in the hands of delegates to the
Quadrennial General Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church South.
Bishop John N. Moore, chairman of
the Commission on Church Union, SUBJ
mitted the proposal and informed the
hushed crowd that the Methodist
Episcopal Northern) and Methodist
Protestant Churches already have ap-
proved the program which would Gre
ate a Methodist Church of some
100000 members.
Bishop Moore told the delegates that
the commission unanimously ap-
proves" the plan. which would bring
some 100000 Southerners into the
single church.
He then turned the floor fight over
to Dr. T. D. Ellis of Louisville, KY.
and DR.. Ellis launched what is ex-
pected to be vigorous battle with
the plea:
Il appeal to you to let every man
have his say"
There was no indication of when
the deciding vote would be reached,
but uniflcation adherents insisted they
would be able to rally the necessary
two-thirds majority despite the oppo-
sition OF two retired bishops and one
annual conference.
Judge John w. Kyle, Sardis, Miss,
opened for the opposition with a mo-
ton that DR.. Ellis be held out of
order because each conference had
not approved the plan, but Presiding
Bishop U. v. w. Darlington ruled the
question before the conference, setting
the stage for showdown
A spokesman for the unification ad-
herents forecast "at least 400 and
possibly $50 of the 472 official dele
gates" will favor reunion when the
debate ends probably next week
Whatever the final outcome, mem
bers of the Laymens Organization for
Preservation of the Southern Meth
odist Church served notice they would
guarantee the continued life of the
separate Southern church"
Unification is before the general
conference as continuing order of
business" until some action is taken.
The Laymen's Organization, which
denies the legal right of the present
conference to act. has announced it
would take any unifcation adoption
into court.

This weeks column goes to memoir
les of Chick Webb and his fine Swing
Band who Tuesday night entertained
forty-five hundred lovers of Swing mu-
sic at the St. Paul Auditorium. Mr..
Webb received the Carnegie medal for
being master of swing, and from the
way the mixed audience received Chick
and the Boys, the medal is where it
belongs. There were at least two
thousand whites who turned out to
hear Chick and the Boys, and all dane
ed to the master of swings music. 1t
goes to show that there can be mixed
dances and everything goes along
smooth; not a single disturbance be-
tween the two races all evening. My
observation of the goings on in the
Harold Teens Circle suggests that the
middle aged have been living in a
fools paradise. Their number is up.
No significant changes in the art and
science of ball room dancing have
been recorded in thirty years. That
couldn't go on much longer. No gen.
Grafton can expect to trip toward the
grave with the same steps it learned
in dancing school. The generation
which trampled the waltz (the real
waltz not the fox trot to waltz time
and the two step, has no right to ex-
pect its dances to live forever The
middle aged, like their predecessors,
must learn the new stuff if they can,
and if they can't, must accept the role
of spectator. At the moment the dance
is in period of readjustment. The
future can be foreseen only in its lar
ger pattern, but already it is apparent
that the Rhythmic Shuffling, Left
Right, Left Right, which began with
the Bunny Hug and the Bear and
evolved into the one step and foxtrot,
is on the skids. Students of social
change will have no difficulty in rec
ognizing the symptoms. Some of the
dancers today are bewildered. They
have been reduced to aimless walking
about the floor, hand in hand Others
stand stock still, at arms length, star
ing at each other and saying nothing.
They are ashamed of the old and afraid
of the new, they are hopeless and help
less, the victims of a chronological
revolution which they cannot under
stand. But new life is springing, out
of the Big Apple comes trucking and
lot of other novelties, swing it. Utter
bugs! The middle years of the Cen
tury are yours.
P. S. Next Weeks Colum will be
dedicated to my opinion on one of
the greatest physicians of our day and
authority on Hay fever, why people
come from all over the country to
seek DIR. w. Donald Browns advice
about it.

And, by way of an anticlimax,
he stayed there the rest of the

them, one, two, three, four, callers.
