Court Refuses 10 Revoke
PeIIey's Appeal Bond

The United States Court of Ap-
peals today refused to revoke the
$4,000 appeal bond in the case of
William Dudley Pelley, erstwhile
Silver Shirt leader, wanted in North
Carolina on charges of violating
blue sky laws.
The Government had asked that
the bond be revoked so Mr.. Pelley
could be taken into custody again.
Defense Attorney T. Edward
O'Connell claimed there was no
such precedent for canceling the
bond, while the case is being fought
through the courts.
Mr.. Pelley has indicated he will
carry his fight to the Supreme
Court, having recently lost in the
appellate tribunal. Both District
Court and the Appeals Court de-
cided that Mr. Pelley must return
to North Carolina for sentence and
judgment on the second count of
16-count indictment, charging him
with violating the securities statute
of that State. He received a sus-
pended sentence of one to two years
on the first count and paid $1,000
fine.

A program of food control to
cushion the shock of unemploy-
ment expected by administration Of

Testifying at the opening hear
ings by the House Flood Control

Bishop Freeman Says
Nation Is Lacking
In Moral Principle
Cathedral Audience Told
Country Is Unaware of
Its Critical Situation

America must go back to the
principles of religion on which this
Republic was founded, the Right
Rev. James E. Freeman, Episcopal
Bishop of Washington, asserted yes
terday at the veSper service at
Washington Cathedral, which was
attended by a delegation of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton.
Bishop Freeman termed the day
possibly one of the momentous
Sundays in our history as people"
and characterized present day
America as flippant, frivolous, irrev-
erent and utterly unaware of the
critical situation which confronts
the country as one of the last
strongholds of the righteous life in
the world gone almost entirely
pagan.
I'VE are passing magnificent reso-
lutions," he said; I'VE are creating
huge appropriations; we are under
taking work of incredibly vast pro-
portions-all with the idea of making
this country the arsenal for democ-
racy.' But we must measure up in
more than the military sense. We
must stand, and stand fast, for
principles.
The moral tone of this Nation
of ours is not what it should be.
Those who violate the sanctities of
life are received in almost every
drawing room. There are many
pagans among us. We are lax
morally. We are not humble before
the Almighty. We are self-indul-
gent. And all these qualities are
reflected in our political and social
life. That is why we need another
Peter the Hermit who will fare forth
unafraid and dare to tell both capi-
tai and labor, This is the way-walk
We in it,"
