Citizenship Denial
To Be Reviewed by
Supreme Court
Government Itself
Contended Lower
Tribunal Erred
Nv ]. A, FOX,

The Supreme Court today agreed
to review lower court decision
withholding naturalization from an
alien after the Government, itself.
had argued the trial court was in
error in denying the citizenship petit
ton.
The case originated in California
where Louis Weber applied for nat
uralization. An examiner recon-
mended denial, declaring the alien
had been receiving charity for five
years and contending also that he
was not attached the principles of
the Constitution.
The examiner was upheld in Dis
trict Court and the Federal Govern
ment then Joined in the appeal to
the United States Circuit Court OF
Appeals, expressing the belief that
the denial of citizenship had been
based on Weber's acceptance of
charity, and, therefore, was with
out warrant. The Court of APP
peals, however, upheld the trial
court, declaring that the decision
there was not based on the aliens
indigency, but on the allegation
that he was not attached to the
principles of the Constitution.
Ford Case Review Denied.
Supplementing Webers appeal to
the Supreme Court, the Justice De-
partment said that there was moth
ing in the record to bear out the
charge that Weber did not believe in
the principles of this country.
The court refused today to review
a Federal Trade Commission order
directing the Ford Motor Co. to
cease alleged misleading" adver-
tising concerning e per cent plan
for financing the purchase OF auto
mobiles. The commission alleged
that actually automobile purchasers
paid III per cent on their de-
clining balances and the order was
upheld by the Sixth Circuit Court
of Appeals.
In appealing from the Court OF
Appeals, Ford denied the advertis-
ing was misleading, but said it had
been abandoned before the commits
sion order was issued in 1886. II
was contended, however, that the
commission order was broad enough
/ to prohibit use of the financing plan
itself. Under this plan automobile
purchasers paid 6 per cent on the
entire balance due after the doWr
payment. The company said that
the financing plan was identical III
principle" with the system employed
by the Federal Housing Authority
and the Electric Home and Farm
/ Authority.
Louisiana Loses Plea.
The commission said that the Z
per cent plan" was first announced
by General Motors in 1885 anc
adopted in principle by other lead
| ing automobile companies. The Su
preme Court refused last January
to review a lower court decision
upholding commissioner ordel
against General Motors.
The court denied permission Il
Louisiana to institute proceeding
seeking to recover more than 81 600,
900 from Abraham L. Shushan, one
time lieutenant of Huey P. Long
and others on account of ALLEGED
fraud and bribery in connection will
the construction of New Orlean
airport.

GipsySmith, at81,
Delivers Vigorous
Revival Sermon
Noted Evangelist Opens
Two-Week Preaching
Engagement Here

Evangelist Gipsy Smith opened a
two-week revival meeting at the
First Congregational Church yester-
day, using the theme he has
preached for 60 years-"You Must
Be Born Again"
Jesus came to tell us this" he
declared. And there is no substi-
tute for the religion of Jesus Christ.
All these ideas about a new world
order taking the place of religion are
just balmy."
Although in his 82d year, he de-
livered his message in the same
vigorous manner that has character
lied his meetings in nearly every
part of the world.
IF you're not a spirit-fllled per-
son." he said. 1T is because some
thing else fills you You must be
drenched with the Holy Spirit.
IF you're not seeing Jesus then
you'd better examine yourself and
your church membership. You
can't just call yourself Christian
without following the precepts OF
Jesus Christ"
Touching on his theme that You
Must Be Born Again" the evangel-
ist said he was speaking 10 a group
of college students recently when
one rose and said MS professors keep
telling them to behave. And he
asked me-" the evangelist continued
why the professor didn't tell them
they were made of bad material and
they had to be born again to change
their ways
The evangelist will speak on week
days, Mondays through Fridays, at
7::30 pm, and on Sundays at 4 and
at 7:3O pm, through November 2
The church is at Tenth and G
streets NV.

putting forth its full power against
The Frankenstein monster that
threatens to destroy the world as
we know and love it.
IF it is a hindrance. If 1t Is
wrong-then it is all wrong. Let us
not remove it in part. Let us tear
it up root and branch and take 1t
out of the stream down which flows
our mighty production of food and
munitions to the nations to whom
they are pledged. Our neutrality
law and Adolf Hitler have said You
shall not pass AS Americans we
cannot violate a law that we our
selves have passed. Remove 1t and
we will deal with the threats OF
Hitler as free men always deal with
pirates and tyrants.'
Senator Bridges recalled that he
was one of the six Senators who
voted against the original neutrality
law in 1897. and that he believes
now, as he did then, that no matter
how much peace is desired you cam
not legislate peace"
1T is my judgment and the judg-
ment Of millions Of Americans" said
the New Hampshire Senator. that
if this so-called Neutrality Act had
not been placed upon the statute
books of our Government, this war,
which has involved "a countries on
three continents and which affects
every man. woman and child IN
America. might have been avoided:
for. when the Neutrality Act was
adopted by the Congress and signed
by the President. it became the es-
,ablished policy of the United States.
In effect. we then advised the Die
tator Hitler that he could proceed
with his published schedule OF con-
quest without fear that the Amer
ican people would in any way at
tempt to obstruct his march"
BY that action he said, the United
States served notice on free men
everywhere that if they faced at
tack and defeat they could expect
mo assistance from this free Ma
ton"
Senator Bridges said repeal of the
law would have most important
repercussions in all parts Of the
world where American interests are
so vitally at stake"
Piecemeal Plan Jeopardized.
The ship-arming measure. passed
by House vote of 259 to 1873 last
week. is only one of the steps advo-
Gated by Chairman Connally and
other members of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee. who believe that
Congress should eliminate the pro-
vision which now prevents American
vessels from entering belllgerent
ports or designated combat areas.
Senator Connally has said, how
ever, that it might be more expe-
ditious to pass the ship-armlng bill
at once and then take up additional
repeater legislation.
The possibility of a bipartisan
move for doing the whole job at
once jeopardized any plans for
piecemeal consideration of revision
along the lines Senator Connally
indicated. Accordingly Senate lead
ers may ask President Roosevelt
this week to decide whether he is
willing to accept a delay on the
ship-arming legislation while at
tempts are being made to broaden
the pending House-approved reso-
luton so that it would provide for
scrapping the rest of the Neutrality
Act.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat. of
Montana, a leader in the Senate
minority opposing administration
foreign policy, told reporters he
would welcome an effort to repeal
the Neutrality Act completely. That
would bring the issue of peace or
war out in the open where it should
be-" he said.

What is the truth behind these stories? Soldiers would
not come in and tell this stuff there wasn't some SEM

True, white officers well have been relieved
