Communist Purqe
OF Southern Bdptists
Is Urged by Pastor
Militant Rev. Norris
Plans New Offensive
At Convention
IN the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, May 16.-The
Rev. J. Frank Norris Of Fort Worth
and Detroit planned a new offensive
today against his foes in the South
ern Baptist convention with de-
mand they purge themselves of what
he called "communistic" elements.
The militant pastor bolted several
wears ago because he maintained
the convention had become "a mod
ernistic machine that tries to tell
Baptist pastors what they can
preach
Today he proposed to go to the
floor with a resolution asking the
Baptist Foreign Mission Board to
sever connections with the Federal
Council of Churches and with the
Shanghai Baptist College which he
criticized as "moderniStic and COM
muniStic."
Threatens Open War.
He pledged himself to open war"
against convention leaders II the
resolutions were killed.
Mr.. Norris resolution mentioned
"sinister propaganda which would
"hurl this country into war" and de-
clared President Roosevelt was
"meddling" in European affairs.
It asked Congress to remain in
session throughout the year to pre-
vent the President from "usurping
power" and throwing the Nation
into war.
The white-haired Mr.. Norris, a
fundamentalist advocate of old-time
religion, commutes by airplane be-
tween his churches in Fort Worth
and Detroit.
Urges Return to God.
The Rev. Perry F. Webb, San An
tonic, told the delegates from Is
Southern States last night 'it is not
so much that we've gone off the gold
standard as we have gone off the
God standard"
I'VE have substituted human
clevernes for divine wisdom. We
have depended on acts of Congress
instead of acts of God; we have
been looking to Washington instead
of Jerusalem. The surest way fo.-
ward, morally, socially and religious
ly. is to come back to the Lord"
DR.. Charles E. Maddry, RichmoLI,
Va, executive secretary of the For
eign Mission Board, told the conven-
ton the world was verging on new
era of religious paganism, with ma
tionalism in Germany and Italy and
imperialism in Japan opposed to
Christianity.

DELIVERY SYSTEM
INVENTED FOR AIR DELIVERY

FAIRBANKS - Alaska flyers,
who are known to have no peers
when it comes to herding planes, are
also right in there when It comes
to the invention and use of handy
gadgets.
Probably not the latest, because
they are coming out daily, but one
of the most ingenious and useful is
the gadget they employ in dropping
letters to outlying points. Many an
eager trapper or miner has turned
his eyes skyward to watch a long
white streamer follow a spiral course
earthWard
The streamer which started its
downward course from the window
of an airplane carries a hard card
board tube at its end and has rolled
up in this tube some letter or mes
sage for the person on the ground
Since this handy arrangement has
been conceived, many a person wish
ing to get word to outlying camps,
merely goes to his nearest merchant
and makes a simple purchase. Bath
room stationery" it goes by in polite
circles. The consignor rolls up the
message in the hard cardboard tube.
"et VOLTA" it's ready for delivery.

 But few days later Mrs. Cham. berlain, talking informally at din ner, just killed that story deadec than a mackerel. She said the ia. nous umbrella her husband car. ried so lovingly was present iron herself which she had bestowed upon him 15 years ago.

Enthusiastic capacity audiences responded wholeheartedly to the thrills which emerge throughout the colorful scenes of "Gunga Din" sen- sa ..onal screen drama of British army life in India which opened its four day engagement at the Way ner Bros. State theater yesterday
 Cary Grant, Victor McLaglen and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., in the roles of Sergeants Cutter, McChesney and Ballantine turned in their most thrilling performances to date. Joan Fontaine as the romantic interest also is excellent as the charming heroine.
 Rudyard Kipling's famous poem of the same name forms the basis for this production. It's central figure Is @ bhisti, or regimental water-carrier, who develops from humble servant into a heroic fighting man, and makes the su- preme sacrifice for the sake of his comrades. Dominating the adven- lures of Gunga Din are the three male stars mentioned above.

.In The Local
 TheaterS
PoII's

A rare entertainment treat is of- fered to filmgoers with the current showing at the Loew Poli theater of ''Pygmalion," limitation of Bernard Shaw's witty and cynical comedy with Leslie Howard in the starring role.
 Shaw's. famous play makes for superb screen fare with freshness of treatment, scintillating dialogue compelling drama and exceptional acting performances. Directed with the aid of the star himself. the highly original story of 8 professor of phoretics who. turns a drab Cockney flower seller into a duch- ess, is presented with never slowing action, an engaging ronlar- tic appeal and a warmth of atmos-- phere and situations.
 The Cinderella story firmly seizes the imagination from the opening shot and sweeps on in a crescendo of dramatic force in which action is balanced against dialogue, spark ling wit and situations against mo- ments of drama. Pygnlalion, was a legendary figure who gave life to the woman of his dreams. Ehaw's modern version replaces the hero of mythology with the professor who takes up challenge to convert the illiterate flower girl into reigning beauty. Through 1t all he maintains cold, scientific disregard of the girls feeling, ignoring the fact that, while he can hold her speech and her manners, he cannot reach her soul. Aghast at his callous disregard of her feeling she fees from him, and the professor then discovers that she has bound him to her with bonds far tighter than any he has imposed on her.
 Leslie Howard has made-to-order role and gives the part warmth and reality. Wendy Hitler, introduced to screen audiences for the first time in the part of the flower girl, is genuine discovery of the first magnitude. Through all the transl- ton from guttersnipe to poise and beauty, she never permits the cul- tural veneer to obscure the richly human creature underneath.
 On the same program is another smash hit, "Woman Doctor,v telling for the first time the dramatic story of women in white. Featured in the leading roles are Frieda Inescort and Henry Wilcoxon. with Sybil Jason and Claire Dodd heading grand supporting cast of film favorites.
 Plan now to attend the mammoth stage and screen show being pre- scented at Loew's Poli theater on Wednesday evening. There will be plenty of fun, excitement and comedy for all!
