MARRIED WOMEN
 TO GET BENEFITS

Hartford, Conn, July A-UP)-- Working girls! Planning to get mar ried?
 If so, take heed of a decision to- day stating that girls who leave their jobs to get married are en- titled to full benefits under the un- employment compensation law.
 Unemployment Compen a tion Commissioner Frank R. Odlum ruled marriage was sufficient cause" for 8 girl to quit her job. and added: :
 "A penalty imposed on the act of marriage itself would be a penalty imposed upon civilized life.
 Certainly, the act of matrimony, being a noble act and the most im- portant status in our social makeup, per SC should not be penaiized and the protection of that status and continuance of 1t requires that the couple live together"
 odlum's decision came in three cases in which employers claimed marriage was not "sufncient cause to allow compensation payments to the girls who left their jobs. They claimed the reason for leaving the pogItions must be attributed to the employer " the employment.

He (Father Coughlin) belongs to no family dynasty whose accumul- ated wealth under the present ad- ministration is @ sad contrast to its preachment of interest in the starv- ing one-third of America. He holds no whip of patronage and he fears no whip of censorship. For well he knows that just as Congress is aris- ing to break forever the ship of pat- ronage and to save America from the continuation of a family dy- nasty in power, so will the people rise in their might to break the whip of censorship which a member of that same family would use to drive Father Coughlin off the air"
 Father Curran accused Roosevelt of interest in the profits (which may accrue to you while the Roose- veit dynasty rides high in Wash ington and throughout the country
 He challenged listeners and read- CTS to prove "by sentence and para graph that Father Coughlin has the slightest personal tinge of antt-Sem- itism about him."

 Crop damage mounted hourly. Grazing lands were parched and second hay crops scared almost to total losses, threatening to bring winter increases in milk prices be- cause of feed shortages.
 Massachusetts State College of- ficials reported corn stands wilting throughout the area and most of the onion crop already lost. Orchard crops were threatened, though no heady damage was reported as yet
 In rural sections well and creeks were dry. Farmers lugged water from lakes.
 One of the few bright spots was a report from tobacco-growers that the dry spell benefited their crop, thickening and darkening the leaves though beginning to dwarf plants.

TWO CITIES HAVE
 CLAIMS ON MAN Is Wanted for Passing Worthless Checks; Now
 Held in Hartford

Hartford, Con-, July "A - (U.P)- Police of Worcester, Mass, and Mil. waukee, Wis, notified local author. ities today that James P. Moorman, 27, held here for issuing worthless cheeks, was wanted in those cities on similar charges.
 Moorman was arrested here charged with passing two checks, to- taling $96.03. He was booked for for. gery, obtaining money under false pretenses and with being @ fugitive from justice.
 Two Worcester police lieutenants and a merchant identified him as Harry A. Bissell who cashed eight forged checks drawn on the Progress sive Tool and Dye Company, total- ing $253.44.
 Milwaukee authorities said Moor man was wanted there under the name of Fred A. Carlton. Local and Worcester police sus- pected he may have forged 20 checks in the name of the T. and T. Model and Pattern Works of the Massa- chusetts city, which were found May 20 strewn along a highway at Au- burn, Mass.
 Moorman was held without bail pending police court disposition, and warrants were awaited from Wor- cester and Milwaukee.
 Two women, believed to have been travelling companions of Moorman were held on technical breach of peace charges. They gave their names as Vera and Mary Smith, both of Brooklyn, N. r., who, 1t was said, were known under several aliases.

prospect that Congress would re- main in session to reconsider pro- visions of the relief act.
 A sizeable budget of other legisla- ton is pending but social security and lending are the top bills and with them out of the way 1t would be difficult to keep congressman on the job. There already has begun a homeward movement by legislators and by Aug. s, which is the latest date upon which adjournment now is expected, the number of absen- tees will have grown considerably.
 Adjournment plans became def- mite last week after Mir. Roosevelt reluctantly surrendered to Senate insistence that neutrality legislation be postponed until next season. He warned Congress and the nation that the Senate must accept respon- sibility for what he considers to be dangerous strategy in the face of possible European war. He con- tends that uncertainty over neu- trality will stymie the business boomlet developing now. But the coalition opposition stood pat.
 The week was one of New Deal legislative difficulties. The House voted an investigation of the Na- tional Labor Relations Board in re- taliation for administration pressure to prevent amendment of the labor act.
 Congress passed the Hatch bill to bar all but handful of federal officials from politics. Issues were scrambled there. The Democratic national committee, which appears to be considerably less than New Deal in all its aspirations, opposed the Hatch bill as did the House Democratic leadership. MT. Roose- welt did not commit himself but was considered by some advocates of the legislation to be rather cool toward if

 The mass wedding was sponsored by Jeunesse Ouvriers Catholique (Young Catholic Workers) as the climactic event of its annual Con- gress. It took place in the baseball stadium yesterday morning, where IS ,000 members of the French Cana dian Catholic Action society and 10000 relatives of the l08 brides and grooms had waited for hours, under the sun.
 An altar had been built in the center of the playing field and Q red carpet stretched from 1t to the entrance. The brides and grooms went to the stadium from commit nion, and as they marched in twos up the carpet, each smiling girl in white grasping the arm of e man in a blue suit, the on-lookers cheer cd wildly.
 Six bishops in colorful vestments waited them at the altar, together with 108 priests--one for each cou- pie. They sat in the first four rows of the pews set up in front of the altar and the crowd arose and sang the song of the society-'The Young Workers song." Monsignor Gauth- fer delivered the wedding exhorta- ton and Father Henri Roy, who originated the idea of a mass wed- ding, said the nuptial mass in vest ments of green and gold. At the elevation of the host, the colorful standards of the society's units dipped in salute. Then the brides and the grooms and the guests all raised their right arms and took the society's oath to guard the faith obey their leaders, and work for the victory of the working class" After the ceremony, the brides and grooms, accompanied by l5,00( marching uniformed Jocists (the French name for members of the SOCletyl WCtlb tO tAiC 4osuAsA VA w Helen for. the wedding luncheon The picnic grounds were filled witf happy relatives and the brides wen' about exchanging kisses with then and receiving the blessings of theil family priests.
