SENATE VOTES
RELIEF, TURNS
TO new BILLS
Growing Heap of LegisIa.
ton Awaits Attention in
the Upper House
WOULD STILL AID
ALIENS WITH MONEY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. CUP.
The minor changes in the $780,
100000 deficiency relief appro-
priation bill lawaitcd the houses
final approval today as the SEN
ate turned to a growing heap Of
legislation awaiting action.
First on the schedule is the
long-suffering independent Off
ces appropriation bill which was
favorably reported by the senate
appropriations committee January
18th.
1t has been long damned by
the southern filibuster against the
anti-lynching bill. Also on the
calendar are tn etreasury and
postoffices appropriations bill,
the $800,000,000 naval appropria-
ton bill, the original deficiency
appropriation bill and the govern
mcnt reorganization bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. "a. CUP
The $250,O00,O00 deficiency re-
lief appropriation demanded by
President Roosevelt to provide
100000 WPA jobs until fresh
federal funds are available on
July /, was approved by the SEN
ate yesterday.
The vote was 67 to /, with Sem
ator Josiah w. Bailey, d., N. c.,
casting the lone dissent.
The bill now goes to the house
for concurrence in senate amend
ments. One of the major changes
in the measure adopted by the
two chambers is the elimination
by the senate of house amend
ment which would have denied
relief to aliens who have not filed
application for first naturalization
papers.
The senate also added an
amendment by Senator Lewis b.
Schwellenbach, d., Wash, calling
for repeal of the woodrum amend
ment to the 1897 relief act which
provides that the WPA must dis
tribute its available funds over
12-month period.
If the house disagrccs with the
senate changes, the legislation
will be sent to conference, furth-
err delaying its dispatch to the
White House. ~
Speedy cancellation of differ
ences between the house and SEN
ate versions, however, would en-
able the WPA to pour the $25o'-
600, 900 into local projects almost
Immediately to meet the peak un-
employment load expected IN
March and April. Approximately
$5OO,000,000 of the original 81

mains.
Four major amendments were

.NEV HOUSING.
GROUP IN CITY.
PLAN PROGRAM
Hope Better Housing
Activity Will Decidedly
Increase Building
AMENDED FEDERAL
ACT MORE LIBERAL

A group Of citizens met yes
terday afternoon at the Chamber
of Commerce at the call Of the
newly appointed chairman, Roy
C. Bennett, of the federal "bet-
ter housing committee" to review
the regulations and prepare for
what has been hoped will be a
decidedly increased building ac-
tivity under provisions of the new
federal housing act.
Mr.. Bennett reviewed the ma
terial he had received and ex-
planned that the regulations were
a little more liberal than those
that previously governed the fed
eral housing act. He had not re-
ceived application blanks but said
they were expected in every mail
and that he would call another
meeting as soon as they arrived.
Mr.. Bennett stated that he had
not found any one locally to ham
die the loans unless in the case
of new buildings, which could be
handled by the First Federal Saw
ings G. Loan association, and per-
haps some insurance companies
now operating in this field. .-st4
= The First National bank of
Asheville, had agreed to make
loans for repairs and cheaper
lines of new structures in which
event mortgages might not be re-
quired, Mr.. Bennett said. He ex-
pressed the hope that the State
Trust company would soon handle
similar loans.
Mr.. Bennett said that great
deal of repairing needed to be
done throughout the city and
county and that if such improve
ments were undertaken it would
result in boom in this commun
ity, but he and other members Of
the committee are keenly inter-
ested in the possibilities of loans
for the construction of new
homes.
The borrower for property I'M
provement must have an assured
income and demonstrate his abil-
ity to pay. No mortgage or deed
of trust will be required for ordI-
nary improvements.
Amounts up to $4,000 may be
borrowed to improve existing
structures.
Re-payments, suited to indivi-
dual income, are arranged by the
lender on a monthly, semi-month-
ly or weekly basis and may be
spread over a period up to five
years. Such loans cannot be used
to buy equipment.
Total charges, including inter
est, cannot be more than the
equivalent of SIS discount per
$lO0 original face value of one
year note, payable in equal
monthly installments.
Property improvement loans up
to $4,000 may be used to build
new structures. Loans up to
$4,000 for new homes are intend
ed primarily for those who live
in rural areas, or in marginal
zones surrounding large cities
where the standards established
by the insured mortgage system
do not apply.
Total charges, including interest,

SEES IRREL|G|ON
GROWING IN U. S.
Threat to Democracy,
He Tells Forum
BY THE REV. JOHN EVANS


CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-Monsignor
Jos. M. Corrigan, rector Of the
Catholic University Of America,
washington.t D. c., today fore
cast the day when both Catholics
and Protestants in this country
might have to explain what right
they have to be Americans.
Speaking before the Charles
Carroll Forum in its first fall
meeting, the Catholic educator
pointed out that every time
Fascism or Communism triumphs,
the Christian is put under In
creased suspicion and is required
to defend himself for believing IN
God. He explained that events Of
the past few weeks have proved
that European democracy is
flickering out.
COULD HAPPEN HERE
"And the same thing could
happen here" Monsignor Corri-
gan declared. Catholics and
Protestants alike should take
all legitimate steps toward pre-.
serving democracy in America.
"All Of us know Of subversive
influences already at work here.
They are many and insidiouS,
and they are gaining ground
with every passing month"
Monsignor Corrigan outlined
what he called the logic Of IRE
lgion, and explained that men
without religious faith or hope are
virtually bound to say that kill
ing, stealing and untruthfulnesS
are all right so long as the If.
religious man or his family bene-
fit and get what he wants in this
world.
66 PER CENT IRRELIGIOUS
1.-THE crisis in education is re-
ligious without Cod" said Mon.
signor Corrigan. 1--WE have three
generations Of 1t in America and
now SO per cent Of our people
say they have no religion"
The program Of Catholic educa-
ton for America was outlined by
Monsignor Corrigan, who said the
system is to revitalize the study
Of civics, which under Christian
views begins with the understand
ing that government is a divine
institution.
eft is our purpose to have
Catholic children taught prin.
ciples Of true democracy, and
that government is Of God"
said Monsignor Corrigan. They
are to be so well grounded In
duties and responsibilities OF
good citizenship and just gov
ernment that the propaganda
of lslns will fall on deaf ears
that these iSrns, everywhere,
lead to loss Of personal and
natural liberty"

DICTATOR RULE.
CALLED WORLDS.
LATEST WONDER.
Dean Matthews Talks
To 1000 Here

Addressing q congregation o.
nearly 1000 persons at washing
ton Cathedral yesterday, the Rev
Walter Rogers Matthews. D. D.
dean of st. Paul's Cathedral
London, England, told his list
eners:
'The outstanding feature of
the modern world is the rise Of
dictatorS-the influence Of DOM
inant personalities.
A NEW HOPE
1--WE should be grievously wide
Of the mark If we supposed the
dictator countries are sincerely
held down by brute force. How
ever much we may deplore the
methods and the intolerance,
there is a fund of enthusiasm
with new hope and interest
o purpose of loyalty which have
transformed life.
"The leaders are dominant
personalities surrounded by a
halo of imagination. But those
who follow this type of heroes
will find themselves led into
strife and conflict"
PEOPLE WANT PEACE
Dean Matthews, who is in the
United States to lecture at Har
ward and Yale universities, said
that the common people every
where are touched more deeply
by the will for peace than the will
for power. This, he said, was
never more evident than during
the recent international war cri.
sis. He added:
"All progress comes when we
lose the attitude that, because
o thing proves to be bigger than
we thought. we can't continue
to control it,"
