Rev. 5. N. Shoemaker
Says U. 5. May Face
Greatest Crisis Now
America at War Within
Herself He Soys, Citing
Personal, Social Conflicts

The Rev. Samuel M. Shoemaker,
whose second lenten sermon today
will deal with the "Rebirth of Ma
tion," yesterday warned that Amer
lea may now be facing the greatest
emergency in her history.
II think that Americas greatest
emergency at this time" he told the
congregation at Epiphany Church, -
is her bland unawareness that there
is an emergency. her unconscious
ness that what she is and does now
will determine whether she accepts
or forfeits her unique role as the
leader Of the world in the paths of
democracy and freedom"
Rector of Calvary Church in New
York City. Mr.. Shoemaker declared
that America needs to learn she is
not now at peace, that she is "at
war within herself"
There is a war going on right in
our mids.." he declared. "Individ-
uals harasSed by conflict and fear
are at war with themselves. Fam
lilies where there is disharmony and
divorce are at war. Labor pitted
against employers and even again
fellow labor is at war, and very Sc
rious war for any country. Racial
and minority groups fighting for
their rights against discrimination
and intolerance is not peace, it is
war"
He listed as Americas "sins" in
dulgence, laziness. materialism, ir-
responsibility and immortality.

azines that can be printed and any
child of 13 can buy them. Our
youngsters are free to read the rot
tenest books and see suggestive pic
lures, but the materialistic, anti
God crowd has pretty well banished
the Bible out of the schools"
He urged his listeners to find
Gods intended design for America
or we shall become something alien
and false to our destiny"
In addition to the five MONDAY
lenten sermons in Epiphany Church
Mr.. Shoemaker will address a meet

$33,S00 Fund Denied
For Development

+
$500, 90 Refused for
EnIoreine Quarters of
Soldiers Home Here
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
The House Appropriations Com
mittee today denied request of the
War Department for $33. 800 to be-
gin program of developing vacant
acreage in Arlington National Gem
etery. Another request refused was
far $500 900 to enlarge the quarters
at the United States Soldiers Home
here.
In its report to the House on the
War Department civil function sup
ply bill for 1941, in which the funds
were requested, the committee said
1t considered the item mot justi-
fed at this time"
The committee approved, how
ever, a request for slO,50O for con-
struction of new combination
ofice-lodge building at the Hamp-
ton, Va, National Cemetery to re-
place an old structure beyond repair,
and $l6,500 for public comfort sta
ton in Arlington Cemetery.
Space for Is Years.
The War Department estimated
1t would take at least Is years to
exhaust available space in Ar
lington Cemetery.
That estimate, made in testimony
before the Appropriations Commit
tee, was based on both, developed
and undeveloped acreage. Not
counting the undeveloped section
of 125 acres, present developed acre
age is sufficient to last about five
years, department officials said.
Approximately 1900 to 1900
burials are held in Arlington an
nually, officials said
$796,O13 for Soldiers Home.
Authorized appropriations for the
soldiers Home amounting to $796,0l3
is contained in the bill. This is
4,487 less than the current appro-
priation and 1902, 500 less than the
budget estimate.
In reporting this bill to the House
today Representative Snyder, chair
man of the subcommittee, explained
that the Soldiers Home is MAIN
tanned out of revenues from va
rious sources of which the Treas
ury is custodian. These revenues
are now running considerably in
excess of annual maintenance costs.
During the present fiscal year, aside
from interest paid by the Govern

Two Ohio Districts
Voting Today for
House Members
Observers Looking to
BoIlot os Gauge Of
New Deal Popularity
BY the Associated Press,

6y the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 27.-Spe-
cial congressional elections In two
Ohio districts today served as
"straws in the wind" for the Ma.
tion's political observers seeking to
gauge New Deal popularity.
Only a comparative handful of
voters trudged through snow in
some places a half foot dcep-in
the six-county 22d district, where
successors to two members Of Con-
gress who died in Office were chosen.
In the 18th district Byron B. ASH
brook, Democratic Johnstown BAN
ker, opposed j. Harry McGregor Of
Coshocton, Republican floor leader
in the Ohio House of Representa-
tives, for. the post vacated by the
death of Mr.. Ashbrook's uncle, Rep
resentative William A. Ashbrook.
Mrs. Frances Payne Bolton, so.
cially prominent Cleveland Republi-
can and widow of Representative
Chester c. Bolton, sought election
to her husbands unexpired term in
the 22d district over Anthony j.
Fleger of Parma, former Democratic
Representative.
Mr.. Ashbrook openly favored "the
social and economic program of the
New Deal" and predicted that he
would be elected by 1000 to 5000
margin.
Mr.. McGregors supporters based
their hopes on a Republican vote
80 per cent greater than the Demo-
cratic vote in the special primary
three weeks ago.
Women voters, seizing an oppor-
tunlty to elect Ohios first woman
member of Congress, f1ocked to the
polls in the populous 22d district.
