METHODISTS ARE
AGAINST TAYLOR
Protest Him AS Ambassa-
dor to Vatican Like
Peace of Roosevelt

Atlantic, City, N. j., April 25-
| (UP)-The SO Bishops of the Meth
odist Church today registered unan-
imous opposition to establishment Of
diplomatic relations between the
United States and the Vatican.
The Bishops praised President
RooSevelt'S efforts in behalf of
peace but theoretically critized the
appointment of Myron G. Taylor as
personal representative at the Holy
See.
The Bishops views were contained
In the address Of the council of
Bishops read before the first gen.
eral conference of the Methodist
Church by Bishop Francis j. Nc
Connell of New York.
Expressing willingness to join with
Catholics and others to promote
peace, the Bishops message added:
But we do deplore and must
firmly resist any union Of Church
and State, and are and will be I'M
alterably opposed to any establish
ment of diplomatic relations between
the Vatican and the United States. Z"
In the same message the Bishops
protested against shipment of war
supplies by the United States to
ANY aggressor nation" and said
this country could serve the cause
Of peace only by staying out of war.
The Bishops pledged the Church's
support Of conscientious DIRECTORS,
predicted the return of prohibition,
said society should insist that indus
try master the unemployment prob
lem, and declared that organized
labor must eventually be the in
dispensable agent in putting into
effect certain social ideals which
the church has formally sanctioned
since the beginning Of the century"

Capt. Duggan said he drove the man
out to East Mountain and after
considerable trouble, succeeded in
locating the house.
The people there, however, didn't
want Brendio, who had been living
in shack OH the property. Capt.
Duggan said Brendio told him he
was sure he was being followed to
Waterbury by "two men on a
train last week.
The man said he had worked in
Waterbury twelve years ago, and

over 100000 words of sample
news and topical programs.
"The Germans seem to be doing
probably the most thorough job.
It's aimed at promoting Anglo
American friction and keeping
America out of the war;" said
thin, quiet, red-headed Prof. John
B. Whitton, chairman of the Lis
tening Center's board.
Typical commentary programs
from Berlin include sketches of
famous Americans who lived dur
ing strife of the War of 1872 or
the Revolution-when England

programs warn Americans about

The British have not started as

on their Canada -beamed news pro-

The English base their appeal
largely on their theological war

for their Canadian listeners, they
stress Empire solidarity and Ger

Situated on the West Coast, his role now is especially important as a result of the Axis-Jap alli- ance. Scholz is credited with be- ing the guiding hand behind the American Fellowship Forum.
 He has been closely associated with Freidrich Ernst Auhaugen, Nazi lecturer and president of the Forum, who was seized in Los Angels recently as he was attempting to board a ship for Japan. The committee is holding Auhaugen as a key witness.
 Other evidence in it's posses sion discloses the existence of a s-eret Fascist army in the U. S. runnipSinto the thousands. Chief organizers of this force have been the German American Bund, the Ku Klux Klan. Italian American clubs and German vet eran societies.

 In fact even more so. The Department foresees tbe iaevi- table necessity of demanding the recall of number of German diplomatic representatives, with certain retaliation by Berlin by the ousting of .. s. ofieals. In the present delicate state of the U. S.-Ax.s relations. the Depart me1t doesn't want 10 run that risk.
 So on its urgent advice. the Committee is sitting tight and continuing its secret probe of the subversive activities. The docu- mentary evidence in the posses sion of the committee is stagger ing Ii definitely establishes:
 l. That the Nazi government is directly supervising and fnanc ing a nationwide fifth column campaign t5 o1pose. and obstruct the defense program. the U. S. Governments foreign policy and aid to Great Britain.

The luncheon meeting, sponsored by

with Mrs. Chester Williams, depart

Miss Harper discussed plans un-
der consideration by the United

ITO units for colored families In
Alexandria.
These families, she declared, are
now paying rentals averaging $13 to
$l8 month for homes where four
families of about II persons are liv-
ing In 4-room dwellings without
running water. The units would
offer higher living standards at ap-
proximately the same rentals, she
said.
Problems to be met by residents OF

for storage, she explained, and is
the first of its kind attempted by the

Mrs. Helen Duey Hoffman, execu-
tive director of the Washington

speakers and said the migration OF
Washington residents into the sub

municipal authorities. Fifty thou

years, she said, and $4,000 in the
last year. These people, she added,
continue to enjoy municipal bene-
fits, yet are without District juris-
