DETROIT PROPHET
TO START OWN CHURCH

DETROIT, Dec. 13.-(ANP)-
The Rev. DR.. James F. Jones, more
popularity known as prophet
JONES'" pastor Of the Triumph
church and famous radio preacher,
has announced that he has severed
his connection with the Triumph
the Church and Kingdom of God
in Christ - and is establishing
new church known as the Universal
Triumph, the Dominion of God.
A universal assembly of dele
gates from the United States, Can
ada and the West Indies will con-
vene in Detroit, May, 1916, for the
first annual meeting of the new
church, DR.. Jones stated.
This church will not be restricted
to any one race, color, or creed, but
will be open to all believers in God,
he added. By taking this action, DR..
Jones says he believes he has broken
the chains of mental slavery that
have kept his people in economic and
religious bondage. He said that the
teachings of his church will be to
encourage thrift, to obey and uphold
the laws Of the constitution of the
United States, and to live clean,
healthy lives, abstaning from drinks
and habits injurious to the body.
DR.. Jones said that he came to the
conclusion to withdraw from the
original organization because Goo
ordered him to do so, and because
the sincere work he strove to do was
constantly misunderstood, thus, re.
sulting in the accusation by various
ministers of his connection of the
preaching of doctrines they did not
approve.
DR.. Jones said that he first be-
came affiliated with the church OF
June 18, 1914, in Birmingham. HI

He lauded the CIO for it's de-

The annual report of President
Ulisse de Dominois reminded the
delegates of the continuing fight
against the poll tax which must be
made, urged the establishment of
a permanent Fair Employment
Practice committee, and said dis

Alexandra Ration Row Ends
When OPA Deputy Apologies

The Alexandria Ration Boards
controversy with the National Office
of Price Administration was ended
last night with an apology from
Deputy OPA Administrator Frank
E. Marsh for interference Of en-
ployes in the Washington Office with
the local boards in Virginia"
The Alexandria board had threat-
ened to resign tomorrow unless the
National OPA withdrew its action
reversing an Alexandria ruling that
suspended the fuel oil coupons of
Richard J. Aubry, 7o3 Grand View
drive, Alexandria. The board had
suspended his coupons when he re-
fused to submit to the board an ex-
PLANTATION of an error in his floor
space estimates.
Mr.. Aubry then obtained permis-
sion from Laurence c. Vass, chief of
the OPA fuel oil rationing branch,
to purchase Gil with his coupons.
Mr.. Marsh, in letter to Bernard
Goodwin, director of the Roanoke
district Office, said, II regret exceed
ingly that any confusion has been
caused" by the interference, and
added that although I cannot as
sure you that we will not have re-
currence of this sort of interference
in the future, can assure you that
we will do everything in our power
to stop such activity"
Mr.. Marsh enclosed an order in
structing all deputy administrators
OF the national Office not to inter-
fere with the operations of local
boards.
Three Locals Affected.
In his memorandum, Mr.. Marsh
said that considerable confusion
has existed in the past among the
local boards in Alexandria, Airing

of the national office staff have in

Jail Officials Deny
Impeding Justice
In Handling Ewing

Ray L. Huff, director of the Board
of Public Welfare, and E. Allen
Green, superintendent of the Dis
trict Jail, yesterday denied they
have impeded or tried to impede
administration of justice" at the
Jail as charged in a motion filed in
District Court by Frank S. Fowler,
Jail inmate.
The charge was made in motion
asking that Mr.. Huff and Mr.. Green
be adjudged in contempt. The mo-
ton was filed by Fowler in connec-
ton with suit for damages against
Orman w. Ewing, who is serving
time on a criminal assault charge
and whom Fowler accuses of as
saulting him.
Besides Ewing and Mr.. Huff, the

our attention where employees OF the
national Office have . tried to get
some special action on applications
which have been submitted. Not
only has hits caused confusion = =
but 1t has created a very bad situa-
ton so far as relations between the
board and the Roanoke district Of
flee are concerned"
In releasing the statements last
night, Mr.. Goodwin said that both
he and Mr.. Marsh felt that the
Alexandria board was right all the
time. He added that the controversy
would never have arisen if Mr.. Aubry
had followed instructions given him
by the Roanoke Office both by tele-
phone and telegraph, but which he
diSregarded.
Matter Is Closed.
Judge William S. Snow, chairman
of the Alexandria board in state
ment for the board, said the whole
matter is ended, and that he has no
feeling against Mr. Aubry. Judge
Snow said that he hopes Mr.. Aubry
will feel free to transact his business
with the board in proper and de-
cent manner.
He added that the sole question
involved was whether Mr.. Aubry
should be made to comply with the
regulations, or whether he should
be allowed to take short cut around
the regulations and obtain relief
from the national Office.
Judge Snow also said he is happy
to have the section of the regula-
tons with regard to the revocation
of all rations interpreted by the legal
department of the Roanoke Office.
Mr.. Aubry was refused renewal Of
his B gasoline book by the Alexan-
dria Board pending the outcome Of
the oil ration case, but when the
Roanoke Office instructed the Alex
andria Board that it was not within
its rights in so doing, Mr.. Aubry
was so informed, and received his
B book on Friday by sending an
agent to the board for it.
Mr. Aubry was informed by Mr..
Vass that he should submit a state
ment to the Alexandria Board show
ing the dimensions of the floor area
of hall space included in his appli-
cation which was questioned by the
Alexandria Board.
He was informed that he could
submit the information by mail, and
that if he was not satisfied with
the rations he received, he could
appeal to the Roanoke office.

He described Augusta Cespedes,

other ministers include ambitious

Mr.. King also said that recent

which might offend Germany or

In answer to another motion by

Lawyer Sues for Fee.
Meanwhile, in connection with an
entirely different suit-one which
was brought by Attorney James j.

81 500 attorneys fee-Ewing moved
to have himself kept at the Jail. The
motion to have him kept there was
filed by his present attorney, j.

represents Fowler.
Under court order signed Friday,
Mr.. Huff is to appear in court to-
morrow to show cause why Ewing
should not be kept at the jail.
Prior to the issuance of the court
order on Friday, Ewing that same
day was removed to Lorton. It was
explained at the Jail that his re-
moval was on the first day for re-
moval Of prisoners to Lorton since
the expiration Of an earlier court
order which had kept Ewing at the
Jail in connection with another case.
Late yesterday, Mr.. Esher, counsel
for Ewing, announced he had mailed
letter, of which he had a copy, to
the Board of District Commission
ers, asking that Ewing be given a
hearing before the committee now
investigating the Jail and that Ewing
be represented by his attorney, Mr..
Esher. He also asked the Com
missioners to have Ewing returned
to the Jail and protested the transfer
to Lorton. In the letter Mr.. Esher
said:
Il vigorously protest against this
transfer at this time and since Mr.
Huff is employed directly under you
I ask you to order Mr.. Huff to return
him to the District of Columbia i'm

Chacon said he had been so in

had notified the new government,
headed by Maj. Gualberto Villar-
roel, of their intention to suspend
mining until the international Sit
uation is cleared up"
Chacon, in his note to producers
said such an attitude would mean
grave interference with government
plans and would oblige the govern
ment to take drastic steps to offset
such measures"
He said the government would
try to maintain good relations with
the mining industry, protecting its
development and guaranteeing its
stability, IF it Loyalty complies
with its duties toward the state"

that Undersecretary of Foreign AZ

tinue in his post as confidential

$4,000 900 voters in the national and
State elections just 10 months away.
It's stupendous job-getting bal
lots to and from servicemen and
women abroad and away from their
homes in continental United States>
Congress and the States, the au-
thorities say, have only begun to
tackle it, that is, with any degree
Of certainty that solution may be
reached in time.
ssss Sixteen State legislatures, includ-
Ing one which has already met and
adjourned since the new year be-

about to meet in regular or special
session with opportunity to act on
lberalized electionl avs.
Others Wait for Congress.
Others are waiting on Congress
to see whether their final draft of
a Decentralization measure requires
any supplemental action on their

provides for four man ballot COM

The measure would strip the pro-
