walked out and disappeared, too.
Sam was frantic. He searched all
over for him. He finally notified
the Bureau of Missing Persons and
they sent out an eight-State alarm
for him.
Louey showed up in a week, just
a week before the fight. He looked
pale and hollow-eyed. His skin
was puffy. He was about in as good
condition for a fight as a guy who
has just got up out of bed from an
attack of pneumonia.

and Sam told him that her old
man had sent her up to Boston to
visit relatives.
Louey took the next train to
Boston and he found Rose. They
didn't say much. They just got
married and the next morning
they took an early train for New
York. They found Sam frantic. He

So a week after Louey started
to train for Joe Souchow, the best

about ten minutes to figure out
what happened. He went to Sam,

next time you try to interfere with
my affairs, I'll not only quit you,
but I'll cripple you before I do"
That fight was an awful bust to
watch. Somehow knocked Louey
all over the ring. He hit him how
wherever he please and he
laughed every time Louey landed

Join a union with which his employer
signs closed shop agreement was
headed today for possible United
States Supreme Court decision.
Attorney Nathan w. Math-ad-
mitted only last Monday to practice
before the Nations highest court

Last Tuesday the Court of Ap-
peals of New York ruled against the
workmen, and Mr.. Math sought stay

Mr.. Math said he would contend
that an enforced closed shop would
violate constitutional due process. His
appeal, he said, would contend that
the closed-shop agreement resulted in

ENGLISH CHURCH
UNITY ADVANCED
Plan Held Great Stride of
Religion, but Bitter Dis.
pute Awaits.
~ the Associated Press

LONDON. Jan. 22.-Leaders of the
Church Of England and Baptist,
Methodist and other Protestant
churches advanced cautiously today
momentous plan for unity, but
with each group to keep its indi-
vidual forms of worship.
The ough-hewn scheme was pre-
sented as a basis for discussion Of
church accord, but there was in pros
pect fierce controversy among the
81, 2,000, 900 persons af1iliated with the
church in England and Wales.
London newspapers generally hailed
such a suggestion for unity as a
great religious stride, even if it were
to fail. The churches have followed
separate ways for 800 years.
Joint Conference Drew Plan.
The plan was drawn by joint
conference of representa- of the
Church of England, the state church,
with King George vi its titular head,
and of the Federal Council OF Evan
gelical Free Churches.
The council represents Methodists,
Baptists, Presbyterians and others
not conforming to the Anglican
church.
The proposed united church would
be one In which both Anglicans
and Nom -conformists might find
themselves united without loss Of
what Is specially valuable in their
distinctive traditions"
Such a church would remain Epis-
copal (Anglican). with both free
church and Anglican bishops. The
Archbishop Of Canterbury would be
ex-ofdcio president of its general
assembly.
Communion Would Remain Sacrament
The united church would accept
the sacrament of communion and
baptism would be an essential con-
dition for membership Apart from
this. however, members would con-
tinue their varied forms of worship.
Priests and ministers in charge of
congregations would be known as
"presbyters, and those Of all uniting
churches could be consecrated rs
bishops. Anglicans would not press
adoption OF the sign of the cross at
baptism, or the wearing of surplices
and kneeling for communion. and
Non-conformists would Iet bvennes
be bygones" on the subject of eov-
eminent OF the church by the bishops.

An illustrated lecture on how photo

delivered last night before q large

Gated processes. The modern method,
he said, has been greatly simplified.
The speaker told how Aim is pre-
pared to take color by the use of
separate layers Of chemicals on the
same Aim, each sensitive to one Of
the primary colors. The layers are
separated by thin coatines Of gelatin.

MESSAGE ON NAVY
EXPECTED monday
Fund Bill Approval Opens
Way for President to
Offer Proposals.
Dv the Associated Press.


House leaders said today President
Roosevelt probably would send to Con-
gress Monday his proposed message
asking authorization for q larger Navy
They said they expected it to call
for legislation to authorize construc-
ton of all types Of warships in excess
OF the present statutory limitations
which were based on the now defunct
1890 London treaty.
House approval yesterday Of a $685.
100000 appropriation for the Navy
left the way clear for the message.
Mr.. Roosevelt had deferred sending
it to Congress pending House action
on the naval appropriation.
Two 10000 900 Ships.,
In passing the Navy bill, the House
crushed an attempt to eliminate funds
to start construction OF two SO, 1000, 900
battleships.
The measure, as sent to-the Senate,
carried $26,723,ls6 more than the
Navy had for the current fiscal year
and included money to start work on
20 vessels in addition to the two pro-
posed dreadnaughts However, the
bills total was $11,139,977 below the
figure recommended by the Budget
Bureau.
Besides the new construction, the
bill would make available funds to
continue work on "a vessels now under
way. 1t also would provide for re-
opening of the torpedo manufacturing
plant at Alexandria, Va, and re-
commissioning Of the ammunition ship
Pyro. The measure passed without
= record vote.
Oppose Further Expansion.
Objections were raised, however, to
any further expansion of the Navy.
Members Of the anti-battleship bloc
served notice they would demand full
explanation as to what emergency We
are arming for"
Representative Fish, Republican, Of
New York, said he would insist on
'pitiless publicity" for all details of
whatever program the President may
recommend.
Administration leaders said the
overwhelming defeat of an amend
mef by Representative Boileau, Pro-
gressive, of Wisconsin to strike funds
for the new battleships from the bill
indicated strong sentiment in the
House for a Navy big enough to dis
courage any aggressive moves against
the United States.

Important legislation began piling
up today on the Senate calendar, in
creasing the urgent desire of admin
istration leaders to end the time-con-
suming filibuster against the anti
lynching bill
Southern Senators, who have been
talking for IA days to prevent the
anti-lynching measure from coming
to vote, predicted the necessity OF
getting on to other business would
result in shelving of the bill next
week.
They called caucus for today to
decide on strategy in seeking to
pigeon-hole the measure.
Two major measures-the $3.50 ,000,-
900 Navy appropriations bill and the
housing conference report-were ap-
proved in the House and sent to the
Senate yesterday. Majority Leader
earkley said the housing report, ad-
iusting differences between Senate and
House bills, could be given preference
and taken up Monday. After action
on 1t. however, the Senate would re-
turn to the anti-lynching legislation

ate calendar. The Navy appropri-
ations bill and the bill carrying funds

partments are expected to 60 from
committees to the Senate floor soon.

would be shelved by next Wednesday.

ing bill. asserted. however the meas

Senator Van Nuys applauded Ma
jority Leader Barkley's action yester-
day in calling for night Senate ses-
sions beginning Monday. These will
wear down Southern opposition and
bring the bill to vote, Senator Van
Nuys said.
Senator Connally disputed this, say
ing opponents have ample man-power
to keep up their speechmaking "in-
definitely"
Thus far" the Texan said. "the
debate has been centered on the
merits of the bill. Now the country
knows what is in it and is against
1t, and We may be justified in doing
