.2,500 Hear Dr.. Jones
In Call for United
Protestant Church

A call for a united Protestant
church on federated basis as one
means of heading off an impending
war was made by DR.. E. Stanley
Jones, author and evangelist, last
night in Constitution Hall.
The meeting, attended by more
than $500 persons, was sponsored
by the Washington Federation OF
Churches.
Quoting DR.. Arthur Compton,
famed atomic physicist, as asserting
if we are to prevent another war
it must be done within the next 10
years, DR.. Jones declared 737,000,-
900 Christians united under a single
church allegiance were the only
people capable of forestalling an
other conflict.
DR.. Jones, who is making whirl-
wind tour of 80 American cities in
80 days on behalf of the church
union plan, said the response to his
talks has shown 80 per cent OF the
Protestants favor the proposal.
Assembly of Denominations.
The basis of DR.. Jones proposal
was united church, having
branches denominations with self
government. Over the branches
would be a general assembly, made
up of delegates from the denom-
nations. This sovereign body would
act on matters dealing with total
church affairs. The one basis OF
qualifications for membership IN the
united church would be belief In
Christ as the Son Of the Living
God"
Each branch would retain its
autonomy In church practice and
procedure. Branches or denomlna-
tions within the general. assembly
would be able to amalgamate with
out affecting their standing IN the
united church.
ut Is union with a federal struc-
ture," DR.. Jones declared. There
could be a United Church OF Eng
land. of China, Of Japan. Over this
there would be q world assembly,
where the voice Of the total church
could make itself heard"
Pointing out there are 256 segis-
tered Protestant denominations IN
the United States, the speaker de-
clared q united church would pre-
vent duplication Of effort, waste OF
time and money and the debilitatlon
of congregations in sparsely settled
areas.
Held United at Core.
"Christians are most united at the
central core OF their beliefs and most
divided at the margins OF church
government" DR.. Jones declared.
"The idea that any particular de-
nomination is the exclusive possessor
of God is dead. God apparently
paws little attention to labels; all
are equal in the sight OF the LORD.
The audience voted to support the
plan after Arthur s. Femming, Civil
Service Commission and president
Of the Washington Federation OF
Churches, who acted as chairman,
commented that those who are OF
the District of Columbia are not as
accustomed to voting"
The invocation and dedication
were given by DR.. Alfred w. Hurst,
Public Meetings Committee chair
man OF the federation and pastor
of Cleveland Congregational Church.
Prof. James McLain, music depart
ment director of American Univer-
stty, was In charge of the music.

PARAGUAY:
Ciuil Var

So serious is the rebellion in Para
quay that President Morinigo has is
sued war decree to mobilize the
full powers of the government Reb-
els now are holding large sections
of the little South American coun-
try. Government officials state that
the revolt is Communist-inspired.
They further charge that Commu-
nists in neighboring Uruguay and
Bolivia are giving every assistance
to the rebels
The war act gives the government
power to draft men, property and
money, and to suspend any laws.
The preamble declares that it was
issued in accordance with ''inter-
national agreement signed by this
country for defense of the continent
against subversive movements OF a
totalitarian character"
According to news from Brazil,
the insurgents have won control Of
all the Paraguayan side of the Para
guayan-Brazil border by capturing
the towns of Bella Vista, Pedro Juan
Caballero and Captain Bado.
Paraguayan government reports
say that some of the rebel forces
have deserted and surrendered to
government troops. There were 9TH
er stories, denied by the govern
ment, that some infantry, artillery
and naval units had refused Or
ders to fight the rebels.

ATOMIC ORE:
Rigid Regulations

In a move to safeguard the ma
tons supply Of uranium and thori-
UNI ores, the raw materials for atom
bombs, the Atomic Energy commits
sion has issued new and very strict
code. Death is the penalty for ma
ior violations Of the rigid regula-
tons, which affect everyone handling
the radioactive ores.
The code sets up licensing sys-
tenn specifying that no one. unless
licensed by the commission, can
transfer or export from the United
States" any material that contains
as much as 1-20th Of one per cent
of uranium or thorium.
After April 1. anyone not licensed
who obtains 10 pounds or more Of
raw uranium or thoriun must report
it to the commission within 80 days.
Use of uranium in ceramics, photo
graphic supplies and other industrial
products is practically forbidden,
since no further supply of the metal
will be allowed after April /.

sort" This was interpreted as indi-
eating that TaImadge intends to run
again in 1948, when special cleo
ton will be held. Under the law
lieutenant governor can serve only
two years as governor.
The supreme courts majority de-
cision took the view that the legis-
lature erred when it appointed Her
man Talmadge governor on Janu-
airy H. The legislature, after a can
vass of votes cast, acted on the
theory that since Eugene Talmadge
had died before inauguration, that
there was no one elected to the Of
fee. Herman Talmadge was chosen
on the basis of a few write-in votes.
Thompson, duly elected lieutenant
governor, was ignored.

CANCER:
Italian Treatment

A new drug that is effective in the
treatment of cancer has been re-
ported by an Italian researcher. The
chemical has been named FA2 by
it's discoverer, DR.. Francisco Guar
nieri of Rome. He is cautious
about claiming that he has found
true cure for the dread malady but
stated that "only patient and ardu-
Gus experiments in the coming
months will be able to prove its
value"
Only one experiment on human
being has been conducted SO far, he
said. This was on patient who
was in critical condition and near
death. With daily doses of F2
he lived a year, then died of pneu-
monia. Tests with various labora-
tory animals have been impressive,
DR.. Guarnieri added.
FA2 is composed in part of spe-
cial liver extract factor from can
cer-immune animals. He is con.
vinced that cancer results from fail
ure Of a certain factor in the liver
to perform its functions properly.

DRAFT EVADERS:
FBI Hunts 0.I78

Ending Of selective service has
forced change in the department
of Justices handling Of draft evad-
ers. Heretofore the department s
policy was to turn such men over to
the army for induction. Since the
armed forces no longer want them,
they will have to face conviction
and sentence in federal courts, says
]. Edgar Hoover, director of the de-
partment's Federal Bureau Of In
vestigation.
FBI agents everywhere have been
furnished with descriptions of 9,178
men who are wanted for draft eva
sion. Many Of these failed to regis

lodges with which the FBI is ia

INTERPRETATION:
Loans Reach Billion

With the granting of $145,000 to
Illinois, Rural Identification ad-
ministration loans have reached the
billion dollar mark. Every state ex-
cepting Connecticut and Massachu-
sets now have cooperatives f.
nanced by REA funds. On January
/, REA loans totaled 1858, 009, 900.
More than 1000 borrowers have re-
paid $126, $685. 600 in principal and
interest.
The Illinois money will be used
to construct So additional miles of
line to serve 1913 customers, and to
make necessary improvements to
relieve the service load.

WHITE COLLAR JOBS:
Demand for Workers

Employment demand for
white collar" workers shows
nationwide increase compared
with a year ago, according to
a survey of private employment
agencies in A U. S. cities, made
by Northwestern National Life
Insurance company. Women ap-
plicants are scarce in many cit
les, but male job seekers are
much more numerous than last
year.
Many government employees
are coming onto the employ
ment market, eastern employ
ment agencies report, especial
ly in and around Washington,
D. c., as government bureaus
commence to reduce the size Of
their Stats.
The reason most generally
named by employment agency
managers for the current short
age in ofice-trained help is that
during the war young people who
normally would have prepared
for office and general business
jobs went directly from high
school into shops and factories
at high pay, leaving many bust
ness colleges nearly empty. Now
the postwar business school
graduates are just beginning to
appear in very short market.
Liberal unemployment COM
pensation programs are also a
major factor in keeping persons
out Of the employment market,
many placement executives OBJ
serve. A Buffalo employment
agency manager comments:
"Many young people rate a prof
fered pay check by subtracting
$21 a week-the unemployment
compensation rate - from it.
After also deducting income
tax, lunches and carfare from
a moderate salary, frequently
the difference over and above
the unemployment compensa-
ton provides insufficient induce
ment for them to go to work"

Unless some unpredictable turn
Of events comes along, the United
States will decline from now on,
states new book, "Cycles-the Sci
ence of Prediction" The authors,
Edward Dewey, director of the
Foundation for the Study of Cycles,
and Edwin Dakin, public relations
counsellor, say that the leveling off
stage in our national economy has
been reached. We are not at, or
near our peak, they contend.
While "biologically and industri-
ally" the United States is a COM
paratively old nation, they say that
Russia entered new growth cycle
following her revolution and is now

BRITAIN: !
Floods NetU Peril

Melting of the thick blanket of
snow that brought great hardship to
Britain has swollen streams to flood
stage. Many thousands Of people in
southern England are being forced
out of their homes by rising waters.
Some rivers already have passed
the record high marks Of 1894.
Community kitchens are being set
up to feed refugees. Troops, Ger
man war prisoners and volunteers
are struggling to save water puri-
flying stations, gas and electric
plants, and other essential services.
Others are sandbagging dikes and
river walls.
1T is our worst disaster in 300
years." declares Miss Phoebe Gus
ten, mayor of the Thames river town
of Caversham.
Snow still is hampering transpor-
tation in five counties of northern
England. These regions will have
to cope with floods later.
Agricultural losses are already
immense and prospects are for
even more staggering damage.
Tens of thousands of sheep and cat
tie are drowning in the Midlands
regions. 1t is estimated that three
million farm animals died over the
winter. killed by snow and cold.
Most of the spring wheat crop Is
ruined. The potato crop in the fen
lands is considered destroyed.
Planting of early crops is far behind
schedule. In a country that has been
on short rations for seven years,
this further blow Is extremely seri-
GUS.

u. S. FARM REPORT:
Fiue-Y Year Rise

Value of farms in the United
States increased by one-third, on
the average, and value Of produce
doubled between 1910 and 1915, the
census bureau reports. Number Of
farms declined, and size Of farms
increased during the five-year pc
riod, as was generally known.
Total worth of the nations farms
rose steadily to $46, 1888, 925, $50 in the
five years covered. Present values
are considerably higher. The aver
age farm in 1945 was 1948 acres,
compared with TIA acres five years
earlier.
Market value Of produce In
creased from $7,813. GA, 900 to $18,-
108, 1926 Number Of people on
farms decreased sharply but the
bureau says it has no figure for 1910
exactly comparable to the 1915
total, when there were 1888, 1873
listed as farm jewellers. Tenant
farmers dropped from 1851, 271 to
1,858,421 in the five year term.
Farmers are using more ma
chinery. More farms are operated
by farmers and fewer by tenants.
Fewer farmers engage in off-farm
work. More milk was produced and
sold during the period than pre-
viously. Farmers are raising more
chickens, hogs, sheep and cattle.
Only the number of horses has de-
clined. More wheat, corn. oats. soy
beans, Irish potatoes, cotton and
