Grange Master Urges U. S.
To Prepare Defenses

ITHACA, N. Y, Feb. Is 1N.S) Naval and mill
tary forces adequate to defend the United States IN
the face of irresistible conflict between Christian and
pagan PHILOSOPHERS urged today by L. j. Taber,
master of the National Grange.
Speaking on the Farm and Home Week program
at Cornell University, Taber said:
I'VE face the greatest raying point of all the
years where Protestant, Catholic and Jew can unite
in common cause. In fact every individual OF
every race and creed and color who accepts the
gospel of the Golden Rule must arm in defense of
righteous cause"
Urging adequate defense and "srict attention to
our own business" Taber added:
BY adequate defense must have naval and
military forces sufficient for the protection of
shores; but more important, we must have an edu-
Gated, informed and patriotic citizenship. Three
thousand miles of ocean can be made adequate pro-
lection to nation that is awake.
we Americans maintain both our ideals and
our institutions but only when recognize that face
the irresistible conflict between Christian and pagan
philosophers"
Taber observed that adherence to policy of attend-
ing to our own business" would permit development of
national agriculture, industrial and
clal-and also development of better social life He
concluded:
1--WE should not try to make America hermit, but
to make our nation strong, well-informed and
the turmoil and the storms of Europe and the Orient can
beat against shores with effect than the
waves have had the granite rocks of coast line.
Let US shift the standards of living of every under
privileged person in America Let us refrain from
meddlng with the standards of living the methods
OF life OF the nations the sea- Let us proclaim
new Monroe Doctrine-that we in America propose to
attend to affairs and we ask the rest of the
world to do the same" ..-

WRIGHT SANITY
JURY SNARLED

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 16 Q.N.S0
Apparently in a hopeless deadlock,
a jury debating whether Paul
Wright was insane when he killed
his wife and John B. Kimmel, re-
sumed deliberations today.
Since late Monday, the jury,
the same eight men and four
women who found him guilty of
manslaughter in the Staying, has
been in deliberation.
The jurors retired late last
night, with rumors floating around
that three men were preventing
the jury from agreeing by holding
out for a verdict that Wright was
insane.
Wright, who faces a one-to-ten-
year sentence if the jury finds
him sane, rested in his cell. He
was reported rapidly recovering
from a chest cold.
Failure of the jurors to agree
would require another sanity trial
for Wright.

HOUSE LEADERS
speed PASSAGE.
or RELIEF FUND.
Fight tC Boost Sum to
$4OO,0OO,OOO Planned
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL

G.N.SO Administration leaders
sped the $25O,oOO,ooO emergency
relief bill toward passage in the
House today in the face of efforts
both to increase and slash the re-
quest of President Roosevelt.
With WPA officials ready to cut
relief rolls unless added funds are
provided, Representative Rayburn
Of Texas, Democratic leader, de-
creed a night session, if necessary,
to complete passage of the meas
ure. A canvass made by Demo
cratic leaders indicated the $780,
100000 fund would be approved.
$500, ,OOO,O 900 SOUGHT
AS the result of demands of or
ganized labor and mayors, leaders
of the progressive bloc planned a
fight to boost the fund to $400,-
100000 to permit employment of
100000 persons on WPA until
June 30.
Representative Taber Of New
York, Republican leader on the
appropriations committee, asserted
the testimony of Deputy WPA Ad-
ministrator Aubrey Williams and
Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau showed the fund "is
not needed"
"I will offer an amendment
increasing the amount to $400,-
100000, an amount estimated to
be necessary by mayors of cities
affected chiefly by the present
situation" said Representative
Voorhis CD, of California. II
feel that $25O,OOO,o00 is made
quate."
Taber said:
UNLESS the increase in unem-
ployment is more than the
100000 estimated by the Presi-
dent, there is no need for the
money. The testimony shows
that, as the result of unemploy-
ment insurance and other aid,
there will be this spring 3.000,.
900 more persons obtaining Fed.
eral aid than there were on last
November /.

LYNCH BILL 'GAG'
RULE up SECOND
Time IN SENATE.
Defeat of Proponents
Of Measure Forecast
BY ARTHUR HACHTEN

u.N.S) AnCllyncnlng Dill auVo
Gates were marching up the hill
lin the Senate in desperate at.
tempt to invoke the cloture OF
gag" rule today on the Dixie
filibuster against the measure.
Indications were they would
maj ch back down again in de,
feat. Late polls showed the pro-
cloture forces short of the two
thirds necessary to apply the
drastic gag" rule and force an
Immediate vote on the bill.
SECOND ATTEMPT
This was the second attempt Of
proponents of the bill to invoke
clcture on the filibuster which
has been running since January
Is, except for brief breathing
spells to permit passage of the
housing and farm bills.
BY a score Of 81 to 81, the Sen
ate last time refused to apply the
"gsg" to the marathon takers
from the South. who have been
aided by a sprinkling Of western
Senators, notably Senators Borah
(R.0 of Idaho, and King CD OF
Utah.
While a majority Of the Senate
favors the bill, indications were
most Of the Senators would not re-
sort to the "gag" rule to force ITS
passage. Most of the Republicans
and old.line Democrats will vote
against cloture, they revealed.
BARKLEY WAITS
Despite the prolonged debate on
the bill, Majority Leader Barkley
of Kentucky, had yet to move that
the measure be shelved for action
on other pending legislation. He
has taken the position there IS no
emergency measure ready for Sen
ate consideration.
But the Kentuckian served no
tice he would move to lay aside
the anti-lynching bill as soon as
it interferes with the Admins
ltrat1on's legislative program. The
So, 900, 900, 900 housing bill, with It's
Government guarantee for home
mortgages, and the $50O,0OO, 900
plus farm bill, were privileged
under Senate rules.
Awaiting Senate action were sew
eral departmental appropriation
bills as well as the measure to give
President Roosevelt broad author
Iity to reorganize the executive
branch Of the Government.

AdmiraIs

IN.SO. Blunt appeal to ad
fnirals to stay lin their proper
place" and not issue what ht
termed ridiculous propaganda
for naval expansion, was issuec
today by Senator William S
Borah (RD of Idaho.
While the Idahoan was suggest
ing Navy admirals do not make
the national policies, Senator Ar
thur H. Vandenberg (R0 o1
Michigan, made an open appea
to President Roosevelt to say
whether he now stands by his Chi
cago speech in which he advocated
q quarantine" for aggressor ma
tions.
SEES UNCERTAINTY
Uncertainty over the President;
foreign policy hovers over the ma
ton, Vandenberg said.
Speeches by Rear Admiral Clark
H. Woodward, commandant of the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, in particular
aroused the ire of Senator Borah
The admiral had said diplomatic
success depends more on the cali
Der of guns than on the caliber oi
diplomats, also:
"Swaggering bandit legions
and gangster dictators of Eu-
rope and Asia menace our
peace"
1.-The statement of the ad-
miral," said Borah, "is highly
unreasonable and highly i'm
proper. The admirals, in their
proper place, are entitled to
every consideration.
HITS PROPAGANDA
But they do not make our
national policies. 1t is not for
them to seek to excite fears by
pulling out sheer ridiculous
propaganda"
Despite White House notice that
President Roosevelt is not disposed
to amplify his foreign policy at
this time, clamor for explana-
ton of the Chicago quarantine
speech continued to swell in Con-
gress not only from little Navy
advocates, but also big Navy
men like Senator Hiram johnson

Appearing before the Senatt

entirely to a counter argumen
for settlement Of labor dispute,
in the merchant marine presented
several weeks ago by Miss Perkins
She said |Kennedy's proposal was
premature and would increase
rather than diminish labor war
fare in the maritime industry.
mot PREMATURE"
Called before the committee fol-
a final discussion Of his recon-
mendations, before he sails fol-
London to become ambassador al
the Court of st. James'S, Kennedy
replied:
"This legislation is not re-
garded and will not be regarded
as premature by the American
people simply because it is called
premature by those who will
always so regard it as long as
there is a chance of preventing
its passage.
II submit if the maritime in
duStry is not ripe for concilia-
ton and mediation of its labor
disputes, then it is over-ripe for
ruin"
BLOW AT BRIDGES
Discussing labor conditions In
the maritime industry which he
as Shocking" Kennedy
apparently made reference to
statements by Harry Bridges, West
Coast maritime leader, declaring
that maritime unions would not
accept Kennedy's, proposal for a
board patterned after
the railway labor act.
II submit that employees who
have been able in the past few
months to paralyze our water
borne commerce BY 'quickies'
and sitdown strikes; employees.
one of whose. leaders feel so
confident Of discipline in union
ranks that he challenges the
power Of Congress to enforce
this legislation, stating that the
employees will not accept it, is
sufficiently organized for 1egis-
lation to substitute mediation
and conciliation for the strike
and lockout" Kennedy said.
