study is, 'The Family and a Chang
ing Society,"
Mr.. Jones recommended several
books for reading, and said these
could be had from the Perry library
The speaker said the home is the
foundation Of civilization The ter
rible truth, he said, is that marriage
ties are being violated today. Asking
what is wrong with the home" and
what is wrong with MARRIAGE" he
said the attitude toward marriage is
the mood Of defeat. Too many think
it cannot work. Divorce is testimony
marriage is on the verge Of bank
ruptcy. Relationships are not as
sound and abiding as they used to be
Causes for the existing distress,
the speaker said, are cultural, in
Guiding foolish romanticism, jcsts
at family responsibilities, improper
guidance, a conflict between romance
and realism, and a lack Of per-
manency. There are socio- economic
causes, also, including depersonaliz-
ed humanity, fear Of unemployment,
slavishness to labor, living condi-
tons in urban areas, installnent
plan, and the rise Of the economic
independence Of women.
About so parents and teachers at
tended the first lecture. The mex

COUP AGAINST
HITLER KNOWN


London, Oct. a. CUP) - The di-
plomatic correspondent Of the news
paper, the people, said yesterday
that the French intelligence depart
ment had reliable evidence" of an
attempted German army coup
against Adolf Hitler that resulted
In the court martial Of 200 officers
and the death Of Colleen. Werner
Won Fritsch.
The correspondent said an old
feud between the German high
command and high Nazi officials is
growing in bitterness and spread
ing dangerously to include all party
men on one hand and all regular
officers on the other"
The attempted coup, it was said,
was organized by a group of high
officers who approached Won Fritsch
to lead them. When the plot be-
came known, Nazi Leader Hans
Frank, former Reich commissioner
for justice, was ordered to eliminate
Won Fritsch, longtime antagonist of
Hitler.
The French intelligence depart
ment,s evidence was said to show
that nearly 200 officers had been
court martialed recently Others have
been shot In the back or ordered to
dangerous posts on battle fronts.
Two German divisional generals
and their stats have been relieved
Of their commands, while Lieut.
Gen. Mich, undersecretary Of state
in the German air ministry, has
been Invested of all real authority,
the correspondent said.
Gen-Field Marshal Werner Won
Blomberg now is under close guard
to prevent the "mutinous" military
group from contracting him. the COR
respondent said.

are concerned. But in accepting the
presidents leadership on neutrality,
the senate vetearsn likewise have re-
acknowledged his leadership of the
party In a time of emergency.
Events since Europe went to war
have substantially strengthened Mr..
Roosevelts political position.
His closest associates insist that
he has not made any 1910 decision
but would prefer to retire on Jan
uary 20. 1871. to devote himself to
writing and lectures. Such a situa-
ton falls far short Of removing Mr..
Roosevelt from the 1910 campaign.
Publicly and emphatically he has let
the nation know that he believes his
successor should carry on the new
deal.
There is belief here that Federal
Security Administrator Paul v. Nc
Mutt, former governor of Indiana in
whose behalf q presidential boom
is underway, is being considered by
Mr.. Roosevelt as his successor. But
McNutt would not be acceptable to
Postmaster General James A. Far
ley.
Hopkins Counted In
Solicitor General Robert H. jack
son, Secretary Of Commerce Harry
L. Hopkins and other new dealers
have been counted among the heirs
preSumptive from time to time but,
In all instances, without establish
ing themselves as stando t political
personalities.
Garner is reckoned too far to the
the right to suit the president. If
the White House counts Secretary
OF State Cordell Hull among accept
able successors. there has been no
move so far to advance him. Not
able In the new political situation
created by war in Europe are indi-
cations that Farley probably should
be counted now among Democrats
who are friendly to the third term
idea. Some realistic politicians are
telling their intimates that ocntin-
uation Of the war would make Mr..
Roosevelt the logical 1910 candidate
and one Who would be hard to beat
either In the Democratic national
convention or In the election.
Although Garner is going along
with Mr.. Roosevelt on neutrality,
he remains the leader Of the DEM
ocratic no-third- term bloc. His 1910
campaign includes a pledge to car
~ the fight against Mr.. Roosevelt
to the national convention floor If
the president tried to run again.
But some others among conserva-
tive Democrats may weaken, espe-
cially If Farley goes along with the
new deal.
