Cardinal At

Mob's Anger

Munich, Germany. Nov. 12.-(AP)--
Excited crowds stormed the palace Of
Michael Cardinal Won Faulhaber to-
day and broke all windows in the
building. The attack followed an ad-
dress last night before 5000 persons
by Adolf Wagner, Nazi district leader
for Bavaria and Bavarian minister of
the interior, in. which he read let
ter from the cardinal asking police
protection in case. popular passions
should result in attacks on Catholic
clergy in the present tense situation.
"If Won Faulhaber mends his ways,
he will be protected better than the
police can," Wagner shouted. He add
ed he was offering no excuse for anti
Jewish violence that burst out Thurs
day.
Only last Sunday, the 69-year-old
cardinal, the archbishop of Munich,
used a passage from a speech by
Adolf Hitler to support a plea for
1.-THE God-given rights of personality"
He recalled that Hitler had said that
Germanys greatest assets were her
creative personalities. The sermon
was greeted by whistling by Nazi list

John L. Lewis
Gives Abb
For Election

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 12-(AP)-
CIO Chairman John L. Lewis told a
press conference today that last Tues
days election indicated the need for
a house cleaning in some quarters of
the Democratic party and closer CO.
operation among liberal forces.
Labor of ITSELF" Lewis said," can
rot sustain the prestige of the Demo
cratic organization in states where
that organization or its representa-
tives in office is such as not to war
rant the confidence of the electorate"
The state he had in mind. he said,
included Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Ohio, and he amplified his re-
marks later to aim his criticism spe-
officially at Governor Martin Davey of
Ohio and Mayor Frank Hague of Jer-
sey City, N. j., member Of the
Democratic National Committee.
The defeat of the CIO-supported
Democratic ticket in Pennsylvania
last Tuesday, he said, could be traced
to "the stupidity, arrogance and lack
of consideration for the rights of labor
and the common people on the part
CT the two major Pennsylvania politi-
cians."
Lewis declined to name the two poll
ticians.

For instance, it is pointed out that

Washington, Nov. 12.-(AP)-Pres-

Guide today that he would push the
fundamentals of his New Deal pro-
or n as vigorously as ever in the new
Compress. More of this oninion said
the Presidents remarks at his press
conference yesterday indicated he be-
lieved he could do so without serious
rolitlcal repercussions, despite the
fact that the Democratic party lost
hcaviiy in Tuesdays voting
Meantime, Senator Connally, Demo-
GRAFT, Texas, member of the Senate
Fin nee Committee, predicted that
the next Congress would pass no
general tax bill. Improving business
conditions should increase Federan
revenues and make tax revisions I'M
necessary, Connally said. He pre-
dicted, however, the re-enactment of
the so-called nuisance taxes, many
of which expire next year. These taxes
include such levies as that of theatre
tickets
The senator said he believed, too,
that in the long run Congress would
be forced to increase tax rates on in

consider lowering exemptions.
