 fo Be Witness

WASHINGTON, Nov 30 - Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt dropped Ill unexpectedly today on the Dies com mittee "just to listen," she said, to testimony of American Youth Con- gress officials.
 The First Lady, who declared a few days ago she was willing to be a committee witness, said this time she had no plans to testify now.
 Asked whether or not she would take the stand if invited to do so, she replied, smiling, she hadn't been asked, but had come as a spectator.
 No immediate move on the part of the committee itself was made to invite her to the witness stand, but Acting Chairman Starnes in vited her to sit with the committee, which the First Lady declined to do.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. = Mrs. Roosevelt recently wrote that certain people called on her the other night in St. Louis to take her some place and she needed only 25 minutes to get ready. That, to our own recollec- tion, is a national woman's indoor championship.

to provide that the sales tax act

Odus Null moved to table the

call was sustained, Speaker Ward

Wednesday and giving members

Raleigh, N. c., March 10.-Al-
though hampered by numerous in
juries and the jinXes all season long,
North Carolina State College has
emerged from the winter sports with
an enviable record.
Early in the basketball season the
Red Terrors suffered their first big
setback when Adolph HOneycutt, for
ward from Raleigh, was ruled incl
igible because he haC participated in
games during the 1934-35 season,
thus having used up his three years
of eligibility.
In spite of this fact DR.. Ray Ser
mon, coach of the Terrors, took the
remaining material and shuffled it
around and out of it developed what
was recognized in the Southern con-
ference as the "Six iron Men,. Six

Jim Rennie and Edwin Hamilton,
guards, and Red Rollins Sewer, util-
ity-carried the burden as State
competed against the best teams Of

realize that these Six Iron Terrors
would come up in the conference
tournament to upset the dope bucket
SO much that they would reach the

Campaign Supported
In Hartford Diocese
By Bishop McAuliffe
Pledge Indecent Books, Magazines Assailed
in Bishops Letter Clergy

The pledge CT the National Or
ganization for Decent Literature will
be taken by thousands of Waterbury
Catholics In local churches Sunday,
marking the start of statewide
campaign against indecent maya
zines, books and newspapers. More
than 100000 Catholics about the state
will take the same pledge.
The drive for clean literature
which will follow the same line as
the campaign for clean moving pic
lures by the Legion Of Decency, has
the full support CT Most Reverend
Maurice F. McAuliffe, bishop Of
Hartford. A letter from the bishop
will be read at all masses Sunday.
The Connecticut campaign Yves In
stituted by The Catholic Transcript,
official diocesan publication.
Important results will follow the
beginning Of the attack on indecent
and immoral literature, for those
taking the pledge promise not only
not to buy or read salacious matter
but also not to patronize any store
which sells such literature.
The following letter from Bishop
McAuliffe will be read Sunday:
November 8, 1889.
Dear Father:
The Drive for Decency In Print,
instituted by the Catholic Trans
cript, has my full endorsement and
hearty approval. The campaign
should appeal to every public
minded citizen. Its purpose Is to
drive out an insidious and public
attack on the morals Of our peo-
pie. There is nothing more dis
graceful that meets the public eye
than the sight Of the lascivious,
filthy and indecent literature that
crowds our boOkstalls. Magazines
and books that pander to the low
est instincts of human nature are
In public view.
The Catholic Church which has
always safeguarded the morals Of
her children, is forced to make thia
public drive because of the wide
spread and ever present evil. The
moral, social and religious life Of
our country is seriously menaced.
