Religion vinditated
For Refusing 10 Bow
To 7yrants, Says Rabbi
Zemuch Green Cites
Protest Of Pope on
Racial Prejudice

Religion, for many centuries ac-
cused of being the generator OF
prejudice and hatred, stands vindi-
Gated in the judgment of history for
it's refusal to bow to the tyrants in
totalitarian states, Rabbi zemach
Green of the Ohev Sholom Congre-
cation declared, speaking on the de-
votion hour yesterday over Station
WRC.
Rabbi Green cited as an instance
the protest made by the Pope
against the "fallacy, the felony and
the folly" of Mussolini's policy of
race discrimination.
Declaring that both communism
and fascism are offsprings of a dis
illusioned, desperate world, he said,
Europe is being engulfed by the
two mighty streams of modern his
tory. On the one hand is the merci-
less and brutal naziism- m-fascism and
on the other is the violent and say
age communism.
world is trembling and tottering.
Democracy is on the decline. Per-
haps never before in human history
has the spreading of hatred as a
matter of doctrine been so shame
less, so brazen and so rampant as
it IS today. The dignity Of indi-
vidual life is reduced to naught."
Urging a renaissance of religion,
Rabbi Green added that he found
it heartening osee that predomi-
nant in the foreground of the battle
for human rights are the representa-
tives of all religions.
I'm those countries where the
tongue of man is gagged" he said,
lit is the voice of the clergy that is
heard in protest against the pagan
philosophy Of naziism, fascism and
communism

.1yping Champion
Speeds.Up Time
To Swing Band
Miss PheIon. Discovers
She Can Work Faster
With Music

Grace Phelan of Etna, Pa, cham
pion amateur typist of the world
made some sort of a discovery at
Trinity College yesterday when she
found out that she types faster to
the music of swing band than she
can without music.
While she put on demonstration
for the students, some one started a
radio, caught modern swing band,
and Grace Phelan stepped up her
time from 1873 words minute to LA
words, exactly 6 words faster than
the time made by the Washington
champion, Cortez w. Peters.
"Of course, this was not a contest,
70 I can't get credit for it," Miss
Phelan said as she explained her
feat to j. v. Brownell, who brought
her to Washington. AS the father
of golfing champion, Bobbie
Brownell, amateur champion of the
District, Mr.. Brownell, now wants
Miss Phelan to enter her next cham
pionship contest to the accampani-
ment of a swing band-and he's will
ing to furnish the band.
Most people who use typewriters, I"
Miss Phelan said, after she made
the discovery, "fail to realize that
the best speed is made with rhythm.
We knew that all along. That is,
those Of us who make any study of
tipping methods. 1t is almost like
playing piano. Rhythm takes you
far on typewriter. But I never
knew until now that swing music
speeds up a typist. OF course, it is
practically impossible to have music
in the average Office, and yet I be-
lieve that girls who are employed
as typists could do better work if
their bosses provided radios so they
could hear some good swing music
while they work"

in the Maryland fight with ideas
expressed privately in opposition
circles for months past, and even
Speculated on in quarters close to

Senator Tyding'S triumph was
only partially visible in his pop
ular plurality. The explanation
lay in the comparative closeneSS
of the Lewis and TydingS votes
in Baltimore city, containing half
of the population and voting
strength of the State but only
AZ votes out of 149 in the State
nominating convention which
will meet September % to choose

Montgomery for Tydings
Tydings led in four of Balti-
more's six districts and Lewis in
two.
Little Davey" Lewis, who at one
stage of the campaign appeare /
to crowd his opponent so closely
as to make him look like q prob
able winner, was in the end pushed
back to his own Western Mary
land hills. The returns tabu
lated up to this afternoon gave him
only four counties which he has
represented for many years in
ongress-Allegany, Garret, wash
ington and probably Frederick
where he led Tydings in a close
race. His own constituents stood
by him faithfully except in Mont
gomery county which, because
Of its wealth and congenital con
Servatism, was early put in the
TydingS column by all observers
and left there-Where the returns
showed it belonged.
That gave the other 10 counties
in the State to Tydings together
with almost all of Baltimore-all
of Southern Maryland, and all of
the Eastern Shore, unless today'S
count should swing Wicomico over
to Lewis to confirm the claims Of
his supporters on the Shore that
he would carry this one county
at least.

Broad Significance

In an arithmetical sense the re-
suit leaves the Senate alignment
between Democratic conservatives
and New Dealers exactly where it
was, since it simply returns to
office a senator who will continue
as in the past to trail with the
ants.
But beyond that it admittedly
has a significance broader than
the boundaries of Maryland and
reaching into political plans and
relationships already shaping for
the Presidential election Of 1910.
The dictatorship issue injected
into the campaign by Senator
Tydings and his supporters crys-
tallized in candid discussions Of
the possibility that President
Roosevelt, in seeking to strengthen
his following in the Senate, might
have in mental reserve a purpose
to seek third term in the White
House.
