PASTORS SON
CONFESSES He
KILLED FATHER
Spanish Civil War Vet
Charged With Murder

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio, Dec. 3
O.N.SD. - FirSt-degree murder
charges were filed today against
Robert Bready, 29-year-old soldier
of fortune who late last night
confessed the Staying of his father,
Rev. Russell H. Broadly, Methodist
Episcopal minister at cambridge.
Il shot him during a scuffle
as he walked me around the
streets trying to sober me lp,"
Ross County Sheriff Joseph Vim
cent quoted Bready as saying.
Prosecutor Lester Reid said
young Bready confessed that he
shot his father in cambridge
when he attempted to restrain
me from taking another drink Of
liquor"
Bready was arrested yesterday
a few hours after his fathers body
was found on a sidewalk with a
bullet in the temple.
FOUND IN STUPOR
Found in bed at the parsonage
in drunken stupor. young Bready
had under his pillow an automatic
pistol of the same caliber as the
fatal bullet.
1t was only after Broadly, who
had just returned from service N
the Spanish civil war with the
Abraham Lincoln loyaliSt brigade,
sobered, Sheriff Vincent said, that
officials were able to talk to him.
Prosecutor Leslie S. Reid said
Bready expressed the hope that his
father died instantly and didn't
suffer.
At one time during the lengthy
grilling, Bready said there should
be an island for people like me
who can't take liquor"
ONCE IN ASYLUM
Young Bready was confined to
the Toledo State Hospital for the
Insane in october, 1896, for alco-
holism. His father obtained his
release after he had been in the
hospital two months.
Officers said young Bready was
divorced from his wife, who lives
in Cincinnati. His 5-year-old
daughter is with his former wife.
TIL elder Broadly, who was min
lister of fashionable Rocky Fork
parish, was a gifted orator and
loved by his parishioners.
Apparently, neighbors said, the
minister mad made every effort
to straighten out his hayward
son. The murdered man heartily
disapproved of liquor, being q
dry leader.
DRANK ALCOHOL
The night before the Rev. Mr..
Bready's body was found, his son
was seen in a cambridge estab-
lishment buying apple wine. Be-
sides the wine, it was learned
that Robert had consumed a
quantity of rubbing alcohol.
The Rev. Bready was dean of the
Ross County M. E. Ministers Asso-
citation. Survivors are another
son, Russell, jr.. of Washington,
D. c., and two sisters, Mrs. Stew
art Watson, of Detroit, and Mrs
w. w. Kunney, of Warsaw, Ind.

KENOSHA, Wis, December 8
UN.S).-The jobs Of more than
5000 Wisconsin employees Of the
Nash-Kelvinator Corporation were
threatened by an outlaw strike"
Of 300 members Of the CLOS
United Automobile Workers Union.
The strikers, employed on the
assembly line Of the corporation
plant in Kenosha, quit work
Thursday and demanded a wage
increase from 81 cents to 81 an
hour.
PRODUCTION BOOST
Demand for the pay raise fol-
lowed a statement by r. A. Develig,
production manager, that work
would be speeded up from 1900 to
1900 cars a week.
While officials of Nash-Kelvin.
Rtor said the strike probably would
force the complete shutdown by
Monday of the corporations
plants in Racine and Milwaukee,
rs well as Kenosha, John Millkent,
president Of the Kenosha local Of
the union, said the strike had not
been authorized.
1T is an outlaw STRIKE" he
asserted.
Nash-Kelvinator employs more
than 5000 persons in its three Wis
cousin factories. The management
said that importation of the Ken
Dsha plants assembly line would
compel the shutdown of all three
plants.
$3.50 AFFECTED
Although only the 300 assembly
line workers struck, their action
threw $3.50 other Kenosha and

Treaty of Versailles

To understand Europe today
read the Treaty of Versailles.
For q clear understanding OF
the present European crisis the
Treaty of Versailles must be ur1-
derstood. No one can afford to
base his or her feelings and at"
titude on newspaper and radio
accounts.
If we are to judge public opin'
ion by the letters we read in the
columns Of our newspapers we
can see that few Of these writers
understand the cause Of the
trouble.
The most common error Is to
picture Adolf Hitler as q blood
thirsty. greedy, unScrupulous
man luSting for more power.
I exhort all to read the details
of the Treaty of Versailles: read
of the territorial losses Of Ger"
many; read Ut the economic linn"
itations imposed upon the Ger"
man people: read of the military
restrictions to prevent tn Q
growth Of q strong Germany;
and then you will not wonder
why a self-respecting, progress
sive German people today are re-
jecting these humiliat1ng ana
unfair stipulations.

just as the great war did turn
many men into maniacs who
actually enjoyed slaughter.
Concerning the horrors of war
I want to present three tabloidic
scenes. They are not nice pic
lures and how any person who
saw similar ones can still desire
war for himself and for others
is beyond my comprehension.
TVHE first is the story Of The
= Obedient Soldier During the
Great Retreat from Mons to the
Marne. The British and French
armies were composed rs per
cent OF men who had never pre-
viously been in action. Therefore
the main task of the veterans
was that of keeping up the cour.
age of the recruits.
A company officer Of an Irish
regiment was fighting a rear
guard action. His men were
spread across part of a field wait
ing for the Germans. The rest
of the rear guard was a zig-zag
line generally aiming north. AS
The Washington times., 1938-09-28

arbitrarily gone against national
desires and teamed up to balk
national ambitions Of their r0'
spective countries: that they
wantonly betrayed an ally.
In the same breath-or
shortly thereafter-they also
lament the loss of British and
French prestige in the far parts
Of the world because Of the
Czechoslovak affair.
It probably is not meant to
be so construed, but it is only
too easy to draw the inference
that the British and French Of.
ficials handling this situation
have not duly weighed this con-
sequence.
This may be the true picture
but, somehow, in view Of the
multitude of important factors
which must enter into such o
situation, and Of which we on
the outside know nothing, 1t
Just doesn't seem to be salts
factory conclusion. Czechoslo-
vakia's plight is indeed tragic.
but that doesn't prove that the
British or French statesmen are
corrupt or dismally ignorant.
