No more fitting setting could be
FOUND than that which the older
members of the younger set used
last night for their party. The his
toric boathouse, perfect for typical
Halloween merrymaking, overlooks
the river, and there are few lights
about and the trek to the club en-
tails the descending of a long flight
OF wooden steps. Last night the
water swished against the floats
and small boats anchored at the
club, and the leaves of the great
trees made weird ruStling noises.

gayety with the spirit of Halloween

uncanny things were lowering in

REV. CHARLES E.
 COUCHLIN'S TALK
Warns Against Borrowing to Escape Debts-New
 Neutrality Advocated

Detroit, March 13- (UP) - The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin warned ir his Sunoay sermon that if the Fed eral governments financial program of attempting to borrow us out oi debt'' were continued. national tax ation would increase by almost" 2( per cent and make an army oi l0OOO,O0C unemployed.
 Father Coughlin suggested that federal financiers abandon the pro- gram "of issuing tax-exempt, inter- est-bearing, non negotiable govern ment bonds which are withdrawing billion of dollars from the channel of production" and use the fortune in gold held at Fort Knox, Ky.
 Bonds For Salaries
 Possibly the government will de- eide to issue negotiable, non-interest bearing bonds as salaries to all public servants and thereby stjm- ulate the purchasing power of the nation without adding to taxation the radio priest said.
 "At least a sufficient amount oi this kind of money can be created to restore the necessary purchasing power which will remove the danger of bond collapse, enable factories to reopen; idle to be employed anc national solvency to be guaranteed.
 Deyoting half of his address to tht neutrality act which expires May l Father Coughlin asked his follower! to urge their Senators and Congress men, to pass a new act preventing executives outside Congress" iron making any commitment to a for eign power.
