Religious Leaders Discuss
Social Justice VIEWPOINTS
By the Associated Press,

Catholic, Protestant, Jewish and
Mormon viewpoints on social Justice
and religion were given by nation
ally known ministers of each faith
at the first symposium sponsored
by the newly created religious CO.
operative at Greenbelt, Md, last
night.
DR.. John w. Rustin of the Mount
Vernon Methodist Church, presi-
dent of the Washington Ministerial
Association, who represented the
Protestant faith, warned against
the rising tendency in this country
to take for granted that every
thing will be all right" and asked
for a true spirit of cooperation
rather than a mere "rearranging
of prejudices."
The Very Rev. Ignatius Smith of
Catholic University said Social
justice is a duty, and should become
habit"
Rabbi Edward Israel of Baltimore
chairman of the Social Justice Com
mission of the Synagogue Council
of America, declared, "A divine unity
in religion will not permit of anv
such violation of moral rights and
justice as is being practiced abroad
today"

Denies Cousinq Bio Loss

1t. Col. Brehon B. Somervell, New
York w. P. A. administrator, has
issued fiat denial, according to the
New York Times, of charges made
before the House committee investi-

Somervell assailed testimony of.
critics appearing at the hearing in

Approval Expected
Soon on Changes in
Social Security Act
House Moves Speedily
Towurd Final Action
On Set Of Amendments

The House moved speedily today
toward expected approval of set
of broad amendments to the Social
Security Act, first changes in this
program to be sponsored by the
administration since the law was
enacted in 1885.
With debate opening on the
amendments yesterday, it soon be-
came apparent that the only threat
to their passage as reported was to
come from members seeking further
liberalization on behalf of States
unable or undesirous of meeting
their own share of the extended pro-
visions. Several amendments to in
crease Federal participation were
introduced.
Countering these, however, was a
warning from Representative Tread
way, Republican, of Massachusetts,,
member of the Ways and Means
Committee, which reported the pend
ing bill, to the effect that too speedy
liberalization of the system might
precipitate its complete collapse.
Demands State Match Step.
Representative Fish, Republican.
of New York said 1t was political
trickery" to increase the maximum
| for Federal old-age assistance from
SIS to $40 month, as provided in
the amepdments, without altering
the provision requiring States to
| match these funds on doliar-for-
| dollar basis.
He suggested that perhaps Cali
fornia and few other States could
match $40, but that most could not
raise that much. Representative
Fish proposed a fiat $40 Federal
| contribution, with no matching re-
quirement.
AS counter-proposal Represent
ative Taylor. Republican, of Ten
nessee suggested a Federal contri-
button of five-eighths and State
contributions of three -eighths, in
creasing the Federal maximum to
$25.
Another proposition came from
Representative Colmer, Democrat,
of Mississippi. He said he wanted
ute "a for every 81 the States could
provide up to a $40 Federal maxi
| mum.
Some Favor No Action.
Several members of the Ways and
Means Committee urged that the
committee prepared amendments be
left as they are
Chairman Doughton said he was
confident our committee has done
the very best it could" and that the
Foundation has been we'll laid" for
social security system.
The set of amendments, in addi-
ton to increasing old-age assistance,
would increase pension benefits in
the early years Of the acts opera
ton and provide payments for aged
wives, widows, children and depend
ent parents. They also would broad
en- the base of the pension system to
include maritime workers and GER
tain bank employees.

WELCOME, NATIONAL GUARD!

Approximately 400 young men. and
officers of the 265th Coast Artillery, Flor
ida National Guard, are encamped at Fort
Taylor for their annual field training
service.
They have left the comforts of their
homes, their jobs and their businesses and
are sweating in tents and huts, working
from early morning until night and soak
ing up large gobs of practical experience
in handling the coast defense elements
concealed within the drab battlements of
Fort Taylor.
As outlined by their commanding Of
ficers, the men Of the regiment are being
trained to take the field on short notice
under the national protective mobiliza-
ton plan and to fit themselves to conduct
continuous operations against an enemy
equipped with modern means of action.
With virtually no time reserved for ex-
traneous activities, the guardsmen will
learn how to fire effectively the 155 nm.
artillery pieces and the anti-aircraft ar
tillery.
The Importance of these military ac-
tivities cannot be minimized. In the event
of some national emergency the country
must find men Immediately to function UNI
der the defense plan. The only source of
|supply are the men who volunteer to serve
the nation in peace time. The National
Guard is probably the most important
source of trained manpower for immediate
field sevice The men who leave their
civilian pursuits in time of peace to prepare
themselves for war deserve the plaudits of
the nation.
Key Westers would be in an exposed
position in the event of war on this hemis-
phere. They appreciate the value of, the
need of an adequate coast defense system.
They know that it takes trained men to
operate the military machine now only
nominally manned by the regular army
detachment here. They realize that the
guardsmen are being trained for service
that will be important to the civilian pop
ulation in case of war.
~ Key West, therefore, halls the meme
bers of the Florida National Guard now
encamped here. The young men are GER
tain to find warm welcome in Key West.
The city hopes they 90 through their train
ing PAGES without untoward happenings
and that they have good time in their
unscheduled moments.
