RACIAL LAWS ARE
 BITTERLY SCORED
Ambassador Kennedy De- cries Also Attacks on
 Religion By Nations

Aberdeen, Scotland, September 3 - (UP) - Racial laws and the ten- dency on the part of some nations to dictate religious policies were criticized today by Joseph P. Ken nedy, United States ambassador to Great Britain, in speech at the dedication of a memorial to the late Bishop Samuel Seabury.
 Kennedy referred to the unhappy controversy" between the Church and State, saying that it was "caus- ing serious repercussionS in certain parts of the world"
 Render Unto Caesar
 Tt is extremely difficult, with the best will in the world. To rem der unto Caesar what is Caesars 's- but no more," he said.
 Profession and the practice of religion is being called a political offense. Men and women are being deprived of their natural born citi- zenship and thrown out of the land of their nativity because they pro- fess certain religion which the political authorities decided to up- root.
 "The Church, in order to be allowed to exist, is forced to take its place as part of a political or worldly organization of the state. It must be subordinate to the state in mat ters spiritual as well as temporal It cannot teach what it believes to be the Word of God, but rather what the authorities of the state decide 1t should impart in the interest oi national discipline, national psy- chology, racial solidarity, or other political aims.

 War can be avoided. Kenneds said, by faith, spiritual courage loyalty to what is right and the excr- else of common sense.

 She asked for passport to Eng land, only to find that the govern ment figures she probably is a woman without a country. Her re- searches into federal red tape indi- cated, she said, that the United States must believe that Brooklyn her birthplace, is foreign nation.
 Miss Gurie applied to the immi- grafton bureau here for passport so she could leave next month to appear in British movie being produced by Alexander Korda. The bureau refused even to accept her application and said she would have to send to Washington for an off, ciai ruling.

The defense at the out set of the days sessions had unex- pectedly waived further cross-exam- ination of Davis, who has said he paid Hines thousands of dollars over a period of years in behalf of the gang for which Hines allegedly was the political fixer.
 Dewey put on the stand a U. s. treasury agent who tapped Davis telephone and a New York police man who took down the converse tions on the tapped line. The federal government at that time was seeking Schultz on income iaN charges.
 The policeman, Julius Sake, read from his record of the Sept, 28 con- versation. He said man called "Joe" put in the call to Davis and said the boss wants to talk to you"
 The boss" said Can you let me have $500?" and Davis said "Yes, Jim"
 Davis Said 70. K, Jim'
 The caller then said, according to Salke's record, that he was going downtown with Jimmy Dietz," a Tammany city commissioner at that time, and needed the money. He said he would send Ed Holly for the

CALIFORNIA UNIONS HIT
LABOR RELATIONS BOARD

San Francisco, Calf. - Demands
that California members of Congress
make an immediate investigation of
the practices of the Goth regional Of
flee of the National Labor Relations
Board were made here by Edward d.
Vandeleur, secretary Of the California
State Federation of Labor. The de-
mands are based on charges that:
l. Public funds are being wasted in
connection with a hearing now being
conducted in Oakland by Trial Ex-
aminer Charles A. Wood of the Natl
onal Labor Relations Board in the So
called cannery conspiracy case.
2. Favoritism toward and attempts
to defend Communists and others who
are communistically inclined is con-
stantly exhibited in the taking of testi-
mony and the examination of witness
es.
3. The spirit of the National Labor
Relations Act is being continually vio-
lated by Trial Examiner Wood.
Mr.. Vandeleur said the Labor
Boards investigation, now in it's fourth
month, into the alleged cannery con-
spiracy, was "based upon an accusa-
tion of a lone woman organizer for
the C. l. O. who is known to associ-
ate with Communists and other radi-
calls" He characterized the entire in
quiry as "a travesty and farce" and
"clear waste of public funds"

all countries, struggle between
capital and labor, which must grow in
intensity from year to year and work
disastrous results to the toiling mill
ions of all nations if not combined for
mutual protection and benefit.
"The history of the wage workers of
all countries is but the history of con-
stant struggle and misery engendered
by ignorance and disunion.
"The history of the producers of
all ages proves that minority, thor
oughly organized, may work wonders
for good or evil.
