"These 1000 belong to no Chris

said, land they have not been appre-
hended or even expelled from their
government positions"
He said he couldn't understand
why the FBI had investigated 1.-THE
Rifle Club" to which he said the ar
rested members Of the Christian
Front belonged and, at the same
time, had not inquired into the rife
groups Of the Communists and
Nazis, the rife units Of the Go, the
rifle units Of the transport workers"
He took issue with reports that
FBI agents, In arresting the alleged
anti-government conspiratos, had
seized IL Springfield rifles. He said
many Of the weapons which when
confiscated were antiquated.
II speak Of these things to indicate
the need for establishing a genuine
Christian Front modelled upon the
pTlIlCIpLGS "a OLnAbbs n NlH
Front that is tolerant with saint and
sinner, with Catholic, Protestant and
Jew, but a Christian Front that Is
not tolerant with the propagation Of
ideologies Of sedition or treachery
aimed at the destruction either Of
our form Of government or Our
Christian ideals" he said.
He urged his listeners to "visit
these prisoners with our prayers,
asking that they be tried on the
charges leveled against them by the
officials Of the federal government"
1T they are guilty, let them be
punished" he said. 1T innocent, God
speed their freedom"
Coughlin mentioned the release Of
Harry Bridges, west coast maritime

Browder pointed out that there
was no question Of his being "a
native born citizen. Of the United
States" AS such, he said, he could
not have been prevented from en-
tering this country, even If he had
possessed no passport. For a citizen
to enter his own country without re-

The specific charge against Brow
der Is that he twice used passport
which he had obtained under his
own name in 1894 on the basis of
an application in which he falsely
swore that he never had had a pass
port before.
The government presented testi-
mony that Browder obtained pass
ports in 1921, 1927 and 1881 under
other mems names, In each case
swearing that he had never received
passport previously.
Browder's argument for acquittal
was that the government had not
proved he used the 1884 passport
but had shown only that he pre-
sented 1t as an identifying docu-
ment on his return to this country
in 1887 and 1888. He commended that
such employment Of the passport
did not constitute legal use" In the

F a nous Swimmer, Now Wife of Billy Rose, Co.,
 ina to Quit Water
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Nov. 26. Eleanor Holm says she will never swim again professionally. The wife of Billy Rose had a dream the other night that may have influenced her decision. In it she was awakened by her maid who said, Your bath is ready Still dreaming, Eleanor iep,ied, T am never going to get into water again"
 Well, we bet a necktie Eleanor changes her mind. The most sen satNnal gal in the nations swim pools loves the roar of the crowd tco much to ignore it for good. Ever since she was a kid she has tecn riding the headlines. Once she was married to an orchestra a leader. And once she was banned from swimming in the Olymp-cs on silly charge of drinking champagne.
 On the west coast, in Europe. in the east, in private pools and ln broad public streams, the stream lined Mrs. Billy Rose has defeated most competitors who have chal- lenged her Ten years ago l heard Jack Dempsey say Boy, l saw a girl swim in Los Angeles last week, and I swear to heaven l never saw anything near her equal. That was Eleanor.
 About a year ago Miss Holm was in the headlines again. Her en- gagement and marriage to Billy Rose, an old headline stealing champ himself, was national event. Billy's adventure with the ater-baby spectacle at the New York Worlds Fair was one of the few things that made real money there. Eleanor was its queen.
 Now, suddenly, Mrs. Rose an nounces "all that is behind me. Billy grins and mods approval But Billy can remain quiet and out of the limelight for only about 20 minutes at time. That's all And Eleanor gets restless after about 18 minutes.
 Honest, really I'm through says Eleanor,
