Aimee McPherson Is Involved In "Row"
Appointment of Kansas Hitler" As Guest Preacher
 Causes Controversy in Los Angeles Temple

Los Angeles, Nov. 12 - (U.PD - Her appointment of Dr. Gerald B. Winrod, the Kansas Hitler" as a guest preacher involved Evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson and her Angelus Temple in a controversy today.
 Labor, the clergy and the anti Nazi League protested the appear ance of Winrod who was defeated as a senatorial candidate in the Kansas Republican primary. They accused religious intolerance"
 and religious bigot.
 Evangelist McPherson announced to her flock that Winrod, "an in- ternationally known fundamental ist" would take her place while she recuperated from an illness. She said he would arrive Sunday in time to conduct services.
 The Hollywood anti-Nazi League sent the Evangelist a telegram ask ing her to get another preacher. The league accused Winrod of being anti-semitic and anti-Catholic. Over the signature of Scenario Writer Donald Ogden Stewart, the telegram said:
 we are shocked by the news that you have turned your pulpit over to him."
 Stewart said the Evangelist had been an unwilling dupe" in Win rods selection. Local Committee for Industrial Organization leaders were shocked and amazed" by the coming o1 such an anti-Democratic and anti labor person" They also sent tele- gram.
 Rev. Keith Brooks, Glendale Pres byterian church pastor, expected 8 formal protest from the Los Angeles Ministerial Union. He said the Kan sas evangelist was "one of the most anti-Jewish journalists in the coun- try.
 Spokesmen for Evangelist McPher- sor said they were annoyed and puzzled by the protests. Rheba Craw- ford former co-pastor of the Temple before she and the evangelist had an argument, didn't believe that Sis ter Aimee was aware of the Kansas prophets alleged leanings.
 T don't know Dr. Winrod," she said, but if he's pro-Nazi, he's anti Jesus Christ. Of all men, the Gal lilean was the most tolerant
 Giles Knight, business manager for the Four-S Square Gospel Temple said the pro-Na1 charges were ridiculous" and that Winrod was "very prominent in the guberna- torial and senatorial elections in Kansas putting 25 Republicans in

nor Cross. What does this mean? It means economy" by destroy ing jobs, by cracking down on labor and the liberal legislation of the last five years. Everyone can now see that the Republican party is not the party of liberals that its highly paid publicity agents have tried to sell the pulp lie, but the party of the manu- lecturers association and of the double machine.
 No Living
 Is this what the majority of the people voted for? Newspapers and conservative politicians are claim ing that the elections prove a swing away from the New Deal, but this is not true. The vote for Cross and the vote for Mo Levy both expressed the desire for progress. The Republican party itself has not increased it's vote at all. It has ridden into power as a minority group with even less votes than in 1936-because the people were divided.
 Never was it more true than nov that eternal vigilance is the price o. liberty. The reactionary Republican administration in the state endan. gers the peoples jobs, relief ano WPA, the state labor department the schools, social and labor legisla. tion, civil rights. And the Republi. can delegation in congress can bt counted upon to be obstructionists of the worst type to the New Deal. The people now have the task O. overcoming the split created by Nc. Levy, and of uniting all friends O. progress, A. F. L., c. I. O., Railroad Brotherhoods, farmers, the Negro people, New Dealers, Labor's Non. Partisan league, all labor and nbera organizations around a common pro- gram. The people must defend tht gains made under the New Deal. Al must unite to win now and much needed legislative reforms already mapped out by the progressive move. ment in Connecticut. All must unite to hold the Connecticut delegation tt congress in line with the New Dea program of President Roosevelt. w must follow the advice of Mayor LaGuardia to consolidate our force. now for the 1940 elections.

 Leaders of the drive against the law predict they will have from 50,000 to 100000 signatures to the petitions by the tine the assembly begins it's session in January. They claim the support of several legis- lators who were elected to office on Tuesday.
 Organized opposition to the law thus far centered in thu vicinity of Bridgeport, but petitions asking re- peal of the law are now in circula- tion in many other parts of the state.
