Church Federation Hits
National Lottery Bill

The board of directors OF the
Washington Federation Of Churches
has adopted a resolution opposing
pending proposals in Congress to
help finance the war by national
lottery.
"A lottery is a form of gambling
utterly at variances with Christian
principles" the resolution said.
Wilbur La Roe. jr., chairman Of
the federation's Committee on Civic
Affairs, predicted the joint reSolu-
tion recently introduced in Congress
by Representative SABBATH, Democrat,
Of Illinois, to authorize the sale OF
war Anticipation tickets will have
only minority support in Congress" "
The SABBATH measure would pro-
vide for issuance of 20-year nOn-
interest bearing. negotiable Federal
war loan participating certificates
and cash awards by drawings un-
der the supervision Of the Treasury
Department.
In commenting on the proposed
legislation, Mr. La Roe said he had
received 4 number Of letters from
Congress members expressing opposi-
ton to 1t and said that: ITO law
yer 1t seems perfectly absurd to bar
gambling literature from the mails
by Federal statute and then have
the Government itself engage in a
gambling enterprise Such thing
would be justly resented by the great
majority of our citizens"
