Co-BeI|igerent With Britain
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PROVIDENCE. R. l., Nov. l.
The United States has to all in
tents and purposes become a CO.
belligerent with England" and if
Britain is defeated this country will
face an overwhelming coalition of
hostile nations, Rev. Edmund A.
Walsh. S. j., vice president of
Georgetown University and regent
of its foreign service school, said
today.
He told several thousand teachers
at the 95th annual meeting of the
Rhode Island Institute of Instruc-
ton that Soviet Russia could not
be depended on as an ally.
Father Walsh said it was "ele-
mentary craftsmanship to put the
defensive armament of the United
States in such a position that no
power or group of powers will be
tempted to assail our sovereign in
dependence or challenge our demo-
cratic way of life"

100 Blame Dismissal
From W. p. A. on
Political Beliefs
Group Comes Here
From New York
To Make Protest

One hundred former w. P. A..
workers from New York came to
Washington today to protest their
dismissal from w. p. A. rolls, along
with about 200 others, which they
attributed to their political be-
liefs."
In visits to the White House and
Federal w. P. A. headquarters,
where they established picket line,
and to the Capitol members of the
group charged they had been sus-
pended from their jobs after a
grilling in which each man was
asked how he registered and voted
in past elections and how he would
vote on November 5.
political Trick" Charged.
william Levner, spokesman for the
visitors, who said he formerly had
been with the w. P. A. teachers
union, said that in the past few
months the New York w. P. A. has
been calling its workers into head
quarters and putting them through
grilling about their political affilia-
tionS. Spies have been sent
to our homes. Information about
our family lives has been
used as a club over our heads. At
tempts have been made to force us
to turn informer against our fel-
low workers.
This course of action has had
the effect it was meant to have
on other w. P. A. workers, among
whom there is a feeling that they
are about to lose their jobs unless
they vote the Democratic ticket in
the coming elections"
The visit of the group to Wash
ington was branded as cheap po-
litical trick" by Howard Hunter, act
ing w. P. A. commissioner. Mr..
Hunter asserted that about 300 New
York w. P. A workers had been
suspended because of Communist
activities.
Appointment With Gillette.
w. P. A. spokesman said that ex-
petitions of this sort have been
made before by relief workers and
that w. P A officials would not
waste time talking with such groups.
They pointed out also that an in
struction leafet sent to all w. P. A.
workers last month with their pay
checks told the workers, among
other things, that you are entitled
to vote or not vote as you choose.
'*' Voting is your own business"
The w. P. A. group had an op-
pointment this afternoon with SEN

The day after Christmas Cholly
received a special delivery letter
from her mother. Her father had
returned on Christmas Eve, as say
and nonchalant as though he had
no conception of the enormity of his
act in walking out and leaving her
alone with a large family of children
for almost six months.
Mrs. O'Neil had, of course, taken
him back into the bosom of the
family, as she always had done be
fore. 1t had been the loveliest
Christmas they had ever had, in so
far as luXuries and necessities were
concerned, because Cholly had
played Santa Claus with a lavish
hand. But they had missed her. The
father had said to tell her he was
very proud of her and would come
to Chicago to see her soon.
Cholly smiled wistfully, signing.
Pop was a no good idler! But it
was worth anything he might cost
her-and she knew he would make
plenty of demands Just 10 nave

kids cheered UP. Nothing would
change him. But she felt he
wouldn't leave again, since she was
able to take all the responsibility
away from him, Pop would stay as
long as he was comfortable.
A call from the television COM
mittee in the middle of the week
informed Cholly that the ace for
Miss Television had narrowed down
10 a sprint between her and Myra
Moves. Myra's accident had been
the cause of a sudden squirt of votes
being mailed i'll for her.
Cissie had insisted that Baxter
Tree spend the holiday week with
them in the country. since his
quarters already were vacated. He
had at first demurred, but finally
consented. Brent had a particularly
busy week of b~roadcasting, and it
was Romany and BaX. Dover and
Cholly who vent sleighing and
hiking, and drove back and forth
to town for radio performances.
Twice daily Cholly telephoned the
hospital and inquired about Terry.
She received no encouragement I'M

formed her Mr.. O'Rourke had re-
sponded to blood t~ransfusions and
had regained consciousness.
Thursday afternoor Cholly was in
formed that she should hold herself
in readiness on Saturday for pictures
and interviews, as there was little
doubt she was to be named Miss
Television. But victory was like
ashes in her mouth.
Seymour Kent. managing editor OF
the Globe, was chairman of the COM
mittee. He was amazed in the late
afternoon when Charlotte ONeil
called and asked him to withdraw
her name in favor Of Myra Noyes.

When Cholly arrived home, she
found Romany with her hat ano

Romany's face was white II

she told Charlotte hastily. "Myra-
Moves wants to see me. She's been
asking for me for two days"
OOH" Charlotte gasped. You
must let me so with YOU. Maybe
1 can see Terry"
They hurried to Romany's car
and sped back to Chicago. Cholly
sat down in the lobby nervously'
while Romany went upstairs. AT
the door of Myra's room she
squared her shoulders and knocked
softly. The nurse opened the door.
Romany whispered: Miss Noyes

Yes" Nurse Brown stepped
back. 'Won't you come in?"
A bandaged figure lay inertly in

Farley Puts Country
Above Party Welfare
In 'Non-PoIiticaI'T Talk
Owes America Too Much
To Sacrifice Loyalty,
He Declares
By the Assc ciated Press.

By the Asse ciated Press.
WINSTON-SALEM, N. c., Jan.
25.-Postmaster General Farley said
last night that his love Of country
transcribed any allegiance to the
Democratic party, but he gave no
indication whether the statement
had any political significance.
In speech delivered at a dinner
Of the Winston-Salem Chamber of
Commerce, Mr.. Farley said he was
. partisan In politics, but added:
Il want to make it clear that If
at any time I am confronted with
the issue of the welfare of my party
on the one hand or the welfare Of
my country on the other that that
issue has already been decided. I
love my country better than I love
the Democratic party.
TT is my constant hope that I
will never be confronted with such
an issue, but If it should come in
this hour of international chaos, I
owe too much to America to sacri-
nee my first loyalty upon the altar
Of party expediency Or party fealty.
'The effect OF existing wars upon
American politics is utterly unpre-
dictable and the judgment Of our
people In patriotic devotion will sub
ordinate partisanship to the public
good"
There was speculation as to
whether Mr.. Farley's remarks might
have any bearing on the Democratic
presidential race. He said at one
point that he had been collecting
material for an address expressing
his views on industry and agricul-
ture, land saying nothing at all
about politics"
Mr.. Farley asserted that he had
no sympathy with the theory that
government and business are natu-
rally arrayed in hostile camps"
my conception Of government In
business" he said, "is that govern
ment should act as an umpire, and
We all know that the first duty Of
an umpire is fair play and no IA
vorites, to call fouls when fouls are
committed and TO follow the ball
