pee BINGHAM PROTESTS HEFLIS ATTACK Argues Against Use of Sen- ate Forum for Stirring Up. Religious Hatred. By the Associated Press. \ Protest against using Senate fourm “for stirring up religious hatred” was voiced in the Senate ycsterday by Senator Bingham, Republican, of Con- necticut, after Senator Heflin, Demo- crat of Alabama had completed an- other attack against the “influence of the Roman Catholic Church.” ° Heflin immediatelv challenged | Bing- ham to debate in the Washington Audi- torlum next month the “propriety of calling of attention here to the dnn.- gers which threaten religious freedom.” This was ignored by Bingham, but he heatedly denied Heflin's accusation that some one had inspired him to reply to the Alabaman. \ Bingham Attacks Speeches. The exchauge occurred wih only a few Senators on the floor. \Bingham apologized to Senator Heflin fcy stating that his speeches were “intended to stir up religious bigotry.” Heflin hac shout- eg, “That is untrue.” Binghany said: “I shouldn’'t have said ‘intendid.’ I should have said ‘do." " - “Use of the word intended |\ was ‘wrong,” said Bingham, “and I apolcgize. I should have said these speeche) do stir up religious hatred. They leaa! to misundertsandings. As a Protestant :ind as & Mason I wish to protest against the use of this forum for the stirr\ng up of religious hatred in this counbLy. I wish the record to show that the great majority of Senators are not \n sympathy with these speeches just be\- cause they are ignored.” Taking the floor again after a speech’ of more than an hour, Heflin declared there “are some mighty weak-kneed Protestants here and some mighty weak-' kneed Masons.” But when he referred again to the influence of the Catholic Church in the Senate, Bingham de- |} clared that he had been influenced by no one and Heflin said he accepted kit statement. Heflin opened his speech with the reading of letters he said he had re- ceived lauding him for his effort to prevent the flying of the church pen- nant above the American flag on Navy vessels during church services. The Senate two weeks ago voted down 2 roposal by Heflin to prohibit this. vote was 68 to 10. “Catholic Penpushers” Denounced. \the THE, SUNDAY.

At that time Heflin contended that the church pennant was actually the “Roman cross.” The Alabaman declared that “if Her- bert Hoover meets this Catholic issue he will be re-elected in 1932.” How- ever, he said, “if he dallies or plays with it, the issue in 1932 will be Cath- olic or non-Catholic control of this Government.” Assailing what he described as the Catholic “penpushers” in the &x:es gal- lery, Heflin said they had ounced him for his attempt to prevent the fly- ing of the church pennant above the American flag. He denounced Musso- lini for his agreement with the Vati- can and asserted that "rel!'g:us free- dom lies dead in Italy at feet of Mussolini.” —_— MEXICO DEAD BUT ONE.
