REJECTS PROTESTS ON USE

WASHINGTON, (JTA) - The
Very Rev. Francis B. Sayre, Jr,
Dean of the Washington Cathe-
dral, has rejected criticism by
fellow churchmen" of the re-
moval of a cross to make room for
the Ark of the Covenant when
the Cathedral was used by Tenn
pie Sinai, a Reform congregation,
which was loaned the use of the
church.
Reports of the removal Of the
cross during the first service held
by the Jewish congregation in the
church brought protests from
Episcoplians throughout the ma
ton. Dean Sayre, however, has
announced a new arrangement
that will permit the cross to re-
mair& on the altar at all times. A
screen is placed in front of the
altar and the Ark is placed on a
table in front of the screen when
the Jewish services are held.

CLAY had been in Santa Fe a
~ month and he had begun to
realize that while it was not al
ways fiesta here, there was al
ways time to laugh and dance and
gamble.
The business had not been too
exhausting. There had been q
brief and very formal discussion
with the governors officers as to
the amount of customs duty Clay's
wagon should pay, followed by
an exceedingly private interview
with the governor himself, at
which time certain sums changed
hands with considerable saving
to Clay and a proportionate in
crease in the total of the COVER
nor's private funds.
Burl had decided to take his
wagons on south to Chihuahua,
where it was reported that the
demand was somewhat greater
and prices much higher. In order
to have enough merchandise to
undertake the additional journey,
he had bought the contents of
Claws wagon at almost as high a
price as Clay could have obtained
by selling the merchandise at re-
tail. The net result was that Clay
found himself with unlimited
time on his hands and a little over
Eve thousand dollars at his dis
posal.
A wagon train that had arrived
only the day before had brought
him a brief note from Sally:
The most marvellous thing has

Measure Is Expected
To Get High Priority
By The As.oeio,ed Press

Legislation giving all members
OF the armed forces a 10 per cent
increase may get a high priority
in the session of Congress conven-
ing next Tuesday.
Chairman Vinson Of the House
Armed Services Committee told
lnewsmen today he has asked the
Rules Committee to give the
measure prompt clearance SO it
can be acted on Immediately. The
bill already has been approved by
Mr.. Wilson'S committee by unani-
nous vote and there is no foresee-
able major opposition in the
House.
The increase would be given to
every one in uniform. from the
lowest-ranking private to the
highest general. 1t would apply
not only to pay but also to sub
Isistence and quarters allowances.
It would not be retroactive.
Retired service personnel also
would receive the increase.
Mr.. Wilson's committee has es-
timated the annual cost of the
bill at 800 million dollars.
Mr.. Vinson predicted there
would be little, if any, opposition
to the legislation either in the
House or the Senate. His COM
mittee wants to get the bill out
LOT the way so it can start con-
