Anil abor Spy Bill
Hearings Scheduled
To Resume Monday
RoiIrood Brotherhood Aide
Reeds Long Statement
Aimed at GirdIer

Hoping to obtain action on their
bill prohibiting use of labor spies
and strike breakers, Senators La
Toilette, Progressive of Wisconsin,
and Thomas, Democrat of Utah,
plan to resume hearings on the
measure Monday. The two men
comprise a subcommittee of the
Senate Labor Committee.
Byrl A. Whitney. director of the
Educational and Research Bureau of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men, yesterday told the committee
the bill should be enacted as a
safeguard of the civil liberties OF
the Nations workers.
He read long, prepared state
ment in which he said Tom Girdler
chairman of the Board of the Re-
public Steel Corp, and William F.
Long. general manager of the As
ISOLATED Industries of Cleveland,
had condemned labor spying.
Yet" he added, 1.-The records OF
your civil LlDertleS committee snow
that Mr.. Girdler's corporation, Re-
public Steel. has a uniformed police
force of nearly 400 men, whom il
has equipped not only with re-
volvers. rifles and shotguns, but
also with more tear gas and sick
ening gas and gas equipment than
has been purchased by any other
corporation, or by any law enforce
ment body, local, State or Federal
in this Nation.
THE moral of this circumstance
is that the peoples liberties can
not be safeguarded merely by those
who attack those liberties going or
record against such attacks
Attorney General Murphy testi-
fed that some legislation was
greatly needed"

Stun Clearance Cost
To U. 5. $115.50 Per
Family, Says 5traus
F. H. A. Head Forecasts
Smaller Per Unit Charge
With Future Subsidies
By the Associated Press.


NEW HAVEN. Conn, June s.
Nathan Straus, United States nous
ing administrator, said last night
that the net annual cost to the
Federal Government for slum clear
ance and loW-rent housing was
about Sis so per family or 500 per
person rehoused
In an address prepared for the
Connecticut Peoples Conference of
Housing and Health, Mr.. Strauss
said he considered current public
housing costs low and forecast
smaller costs per unit in the near
future.
He added that much more Fed
eraD subsidies may be necessary
in Is years, however. because of a
greater volume of such activity.
The administrator said the Gov
eminent outl3y for rehousing OF
low-income groups was small COM
pared to Federal expenditures for
farm aid, unemployment relief and
military preparedness.
But even under present COSTS
he said, ''if we did enough re-
housing in IS or 20 years to wipe
out the slums completely. both
urban and rural, what would it cost :?
There would be a slowly increas-
ing annual cost to the Federal
Government, which at its very peak
would be only about the size of our
present Federal annual subsidies to
agriculture alone and only a frac-
ton of our present Federal ex-
penditures for ornaments or fol
direct relief
Mr.. Straus explained that most
Of the Federal funds advanced fol-
rehousing were in the nature OF
loans to local housing authorities
and were to be repaid. He said the
Government thus far had rehoused
100000 slum families at a cost OF
approximately $4,000 900.

Role in Breaking Down

Delegates from "a countries at

today following dinner meeting
last night at which speakers de-
clared automobiles and travel are
making important contributions tc
world peace and understanding by
breaking down artificial barriers
presented by international frontiers
After a day spent in visiting
points of interest here, the 70 dele
gates attending the convention. the

morning on Today trip along
United States and Canadian high
ways.
One of the events on today's pro
gram was brief ceremony at which
Vicomte de Rohan of Paris, president
of the association and World War
veteran, placed a wreath on the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in
Arlington Cemetery
Assistant Secretary of State
Adolph A. Berle, jr., and Vicomte
de Rohan were the speakers at last
nights meeting.
Mr.. Berle said roads, in ancient
times the symbols of conquest, to-
day represented free interchange
among peoples. 1T is a great pleas
ure," he said, Ito speak to group
whose principal objective is to OBJ
tain free exchange of communica-
ton and ideas across international
boundaries.
Your discussions have been al
most exactly opposite from those at
most so-called peace conferences.
Instead of trying to erect bounda"
ries, you are striving to reduce
boundaries; you realize that gov
ernments should not be autocratiC
and sufficient, but should seek
rapid and free interchange across
international lines; you seek not
exclusion-but inclusion"
Scoring the practice of COM
mercializing roadsides, Mr.. Berle ex-
pressed the hope that foreign motor
club delegates would be successful
in teaching the United States the
value of esthetics and sound road
planning in order to make highways
a means of enjoyment rather than
an advertising medium.
Vicomte de Rohan said the inter-
national association will have &C
complished its most important OBJ
jective when travel throughout the
world is as free and unhampered as
it is between the various States OF
the United States.
Presiding at last nights meeting
Thomas P. Henry of Detroit, Mich.
president of the American Automo-
bile Association, paid tribute to the
work done by the international asso-
citation in facilitating international
motor travel.

construction of ships already on the
ways was clicking"
BY placing the orders simultane-
ously nearly a month before most
of the actual funds become available,
at the start of new fiscal year
July l, Mr.. Edison estimated the
Navy would save five or six months.
In addition, he said that by dupli-
eating certain designs without sacri-
flcing quality. the estimated time of
construction for eight new destroyers
had been trimmed from So to "a
months.
The Nays order for two 45,OO0-
ton battleships, seven submarines,
eight destroyers. four 6,000-ton light
cruisers, the aircraft carrier Hor-
net and two small seaplane tenders
was divided between navy yards
and commercial plants. The two
battleships and 10 other vessels will
be built in navy yards, one of the
battleships in New York and the
other in Philadelphia.
The battleships will be armed
with nine 16-inch guns, as will
six 35,000-ton battleships already
building. The extra tonnage went
largely into engines to make possible
speed of more than % knots"
1925 miles an hour. compared with
the top speed of % knots of the
present IS battleships.
The new cruisers will be some
what like super destroyers, and will
mount 6-inch guns.
Designs are being prepared now
for a new-type cruiser, Mr.. Edison
disclosed. Work may start in Sep
TENDER on two of these craft, which
will be of 5000 tons.

about them," the Assistant Secre-
tary said.
Navy Bases to Be Improved.
President Roosevelt signed yes
terday a bill authorizing a $4,000
600 improvement program at naval
bases. The funds are yet to be
provided by Congress, and the Navy
mas not indicated when it will ask
for them.
The bill virtually completed the
Nays legislative program for this
session of Congress. Included in
nearly 100 projects was a $685.
600 drydock for Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii, Pacific outpost.
In another development, the Mar
thine Commission called for bids
by July II on cargo ships of a new
"C-1" design, to be Alb feet long
and with sustained speeds of IA
knots, fully loaded. Builders may
bid on from one to five vessels.

Why do many people wait before

For Intellectual Freedom

Long years ago, as some residents
Of the District of Columbia still may
remember, there came to Washing
ton the great French pulpit orator
Charles Loyson, Pere Hyacinthe Pu-
pills In the local high schools were
among those privileged to hear him
speak, and it was to them that he
quoted the wisdom epitomized In
Bishop Warburton's confession: Or
thodoxy is my doxy; heterodoxy is
another mans doxy."
Some explanation perhaps may be
required, but the meaning of the
good preacher is plain enough. He
sought the truly liberal attitude of
mind. The epigram to which he had
recourse was devised to illustrate a
dogmatic rigidity which he deplored.
Free citizens of democracy, he in
sisted, should not be intolerant of
any point of view however mistaken
Yet dogmatism remains today as it
was in Pere Hyacinthe's time, an
affliction from which both directly
and indirectly millions suffer. At the
moment, as an inevitable result of a
quarter century of conflict, the world
is rife with what a contemporary
writer has called "selective indigna-
ton" Whole nations complain of
faults in others which they them
selves possess in quantity The long
debate has become tedious to all par
ticipants in it, but the wrangle con-
tinues unabated. Only rarely does
any individual spirit rise above the
battle.
But the salvation of the race rests
in the hands of those who can and
will stand apart from the conflict.
Even the loneliest, the most definitely
isolated human soul is capable OF
choosing good rather than evil.
Christian ethics are practical phil
osophy. AS growing multitudes come
to appreciate that basic fact, hope
for termination of the fratricidal
strife will increase in power and in
fluence in the world

PERFECT FREEDOM
BIZ the Right Keu. James E. Freeman, ILL., D., L.
Bishop OF WASHINGTON

Whose service Is perfect freedom" !"
This is sentence from one of the most
beautiful prayers in the Book Of Common
Prayer. Christ Himself said: "Ye shall
know the truth, and the truth shall make
you free" Mistakenly the Christian re-
ligion Is often conceived of as placing
limitations on freedom of action; code
that restricts and regiments life, but is
It? Not If it's the way of life prescribed
by the Master. He substituted the law
lgious systems. He saw man the slave Of
evil practices, the victim of customs and
usages that denied him the fuller, freer
life. He said concerning the stern judg-
ments of the ancient law: 1T hath been
said by them of old, but say unto you.'
What striking contrast between the
Mosaic law, the thou shalt not" and
the appealing, winsome Beatitudes:
Blessed are ye." To be free from the
exactions of man-made systems prompted
one ancient writer to say: The law made
nothing perfect, but the bringing in of
a better hope did" 1t was this better
hope" that Christ made possible. In one
place st. Paul speaks of these who .'all
their lifetime are subject to bondage
through fear" The fear element in life
is an ever-present one.
What is the perfect freedom" OF
which the prayer speaks? 1t is found in
a way or habit of life that is governed
or controlled by the law of love- At
present, the world is deeply concerned
over the shadows of an approaching war.
1t is making haste to arm for another
great conflict. Fear has again seized 1t
and what it believed was new age OF
better understanding has become an age
of suspicion and bitter national hatreds
Such is its state OF mind that, for free
dom Of intercourse among peoples, 1t Is
faced with perils that rob it of its sense
of security, and make it the slave of its
own fears.
1t is to such a condition that Chrlst's
law of life is irrevocably opposed. He
prescribes: Thou shalt love they neigh
Dor as thyself." This is a fundamental
law of life: it is the governing principle
that makes possible right human rela-
tions. 1t is mans rebellion against this
