WOMEN ENDORSE
 BRIEN M',MAHON
Mrs. Arthur Hilton, Mrs Ward Duffy Back Demo.
 cratic Candidate

Hartford, Oct 3i = Two proTai- nerlt women leaders of Connecticut, one . Republican, and the other . Democrat, tonight endorsed the candidacy of Brien McMahon for the United states Senate. The wo. men, Mrs. Arthur V. R. Tilton, c Republican who is prominent in the League of Women Voters, and Mrs Ward Duffy, . Democrat, vice-preS- Ident of the Connecticut Federation of Women's Clubs, spoke together over c statewide radio hooksip The broadcast originated from Sta- ton WTIC in Hartford.
 Both Mrs. Triton and Mrs. Duffy said they would support MT. Mo. Mahon on the basis of his stand oi the foreign policy question. They re- veaied that four non-partigan or. ganizations interested in foreign policy had questioned the fourteen candidates for the Senate and the Congress in Connecticut and thai only Senator Danaher had been evAsivc.
 How tragic would be the result of the election" Mrs. Tilton de' clarod, If through indifference to . study of the facts, Connecticut voters should return to the Senate for six more years man who has quite firmly declined over and over again to support . strong world or ganisation."
 Speaking in agreement, Mrs. Duffy said: "Brien McMahoIl's attitude or foreign policy is one Of honest anc determined support of internatiotia cooperation in al it's aspects at against the almost 100 per cent iso. latlonism of Senator Danaher.
 Mrs. Triton continued: MT. Mc- Mahon deserves the confidence Of every voter who wants Connecticut to send to Washington c man ol constructive purpose with long ex- perience in government service"
 Mrs. Duffy also mentioned the questionnaires sent to the candi- dates, saying:
 Tn ali the questionnaires sent to the candidates on the international Issue, Mir. McMahon has taken fortnight stand for international COG operation.
 T realize, of course. that besides the right point Of view on inter- national relations c Senator should have intelligence. character and good judgment. These qualities, ! believe, Mir. McMahon possessed to c high degree.

NATIONAL CHURCH DREAM OF PASTOR
Rev. Dr. Walker Holds Ideal One Must Serve
 Larger Ends of Freedom

Surely that great church of the future, that church of our dreams, will be Q free church stated Rev. pr, John c. Walker, Second Congrega- tional church pastor, Sunday morn. ing in his sermon, The Church Of My DTeaSns'.
 pr. walker said in part:
 Someone has said that the first line in the history of America Is found in the first entrance of the MayfIower Compact. Tn the name of God, Amenl" A great British theologian of the last century said, "Uniess history means the process Of making men free, 1t has no mean- hR." The years since, fifteen years eGihse, there were men in America. Influential men, some of them, who Sseas rather conteinptuous of the slow processes of democracy.

now. Democracy with all it's faults, must be esteemed higher than any dictatorship whether of party or race or class.
 Now hold that the ideal church must not only ask freedom for the worship of Almighty God, but must serve the larger ends of freedom. The Church of Christ ought to serve, in season and out of season, the distressed, the disinherited, the disenfranchised amongst us. pr. Jones has reminded Us of the rec port that is current about the way certain Negro young people take the oath of allegiance to the flag. They add that sorry phrase, but me" North and South, East and West, the Church of Christ in America ought to bear on its heart the bur- den of our brothers inequality of opportunity, his handicap of injus- tice. We ought to be free to serve, to help, if need be, to sssE1S. v..:. cS... brethren. We must use our freedom in our American churches. We are free to give, to serve, to speak as few churches are in this present crisis. May we be worthy of our freedom in Christ.
 The church of my dreams is a national church, Q church that would express the highest unity. purpose and power of the Protestant churches of America. I was a mem- Der of the Presbyterian Church of Canada at the time negotiations were going forward which led in 1925 to the formation of the United Church of Canada by the union of the Methodist, Congregational and the great majority of the Presby- trian churches. It is a matter of pride that I was ordained minis ter of the United Church of Canada and served in her ranks. Through the years since I left Canada l have watched with warm satisfac- ton the growth of that United Church, not only in wealth and numbers, but in power and infiu- ence. The United Church is free church but 1t is also a national church. It did not bring together all 1 the Protestant bodies but 1t repre- sents such a large proportion of the Protestant people of Canada, It's leaders have such breadth and range of outlook, it's outreach of service is so varied across the full length and breadth of the Dominion that decade by decade this church be- comes more truly 6 national church. The United Church has clearly olit- grown the common connotation of the word denomination" The Uni- ted Church has attained higher and nohler status in the kingdom of Christ. To q considerable degree tho United Church of Canada has become tho voice of the Christian coaseIence Ql canada.

 Band leaders don't count" says Lionel Hampton, who'll send his sweet ard Swingy rhythms over WATR, the Blue, 0:30 on "The Vic. tory Parade of Spotlight aBnds," to. morrow night.
 Hampton was referring to the famed Goodman Trio" which was actually e quartet-the Raymond Scott "Quintet' which numbered six and his own "Sextet" featuring seven. It adds Up all wrong but the answer is-these modest maestroS don't court themselves. Opera singers have been known to cancel singing engagements at the first sign of sniffle but Anna Kaskas fulfilled her World ot Song" commitments even though she had undergone a painful opera ton two days before the broadcast! The Metropolitan Opera contralto. a recent guest of the program heard Sundays at 4:30 p. m. over WATR and the Blue, was operated on for a deviated septum on Friday, sang on Sunday and resumed her concert tour the following day.
 While Milton Berle carries the family crest to new high in radio with his Let Yourself Co., program over WATR and the Blue network, his beautiful wife, Joyce Matthews BerIe, will represent their name in the movies. She and Patsy Kelly will be teamed for a series of com- edy shorts.
