MOSCOW, March 17.—While mil- lions in other lands prayed yesterday for Russian’s legions of Christian fa ful, the Militant, Atheist Society of Rus- sia, the League of the Godless, pre- pared for a more intensive assault against God and the churches during ) the approaching Easter period. The Russian government itself, how. ever, has noticeably moderated its a titude toward religion. It now dis- countenances the forcible closing of churches or the tearing down of church bells without the consent of | the oyerwhelming majority of the popu- | lation and the formal sanction of the central government authorities, Stalin Is Strict, Even so great an atheist as Joseph Stalin, “the strong man of Russia,” has issued strict orders that any Communist party worker or village Soviet official | found gullty of using violent methods in the party's fight against religion shall be severely punished. All Moscow’s churches were well at- tended at services yesterday, the gov- | ernment_having at no time attempted i ing part in their religious rites. Most Christians here, however, see a dark future for their faith if the gov- ernment continues to carry out its pres- ent plan of forbidding the teaching of a religious faith to those under the age of 18. Death Is Held Certain. They say that if this is enforced it literally spells the doom of the church in Ru especially since the Com- munist party and the government are entirely atheistic. No person may enter the Communist party unless for- swears God and religion. Since the agitation abroad against the government for its anti-religious views has assumed such imposing pro- portions throughout the world there has been a perceptible change in the atheists’ plan a warfare against the church. Fearing punishment at the ! hands of the government authorities if they go too far, they now confine their activities exclusively to disseminating ; anti-religious propaganda and teaching the peasants that good crops depend not upon God, but upon their own labor, good weather and proper methods | ) The nounced agreement competition” 9,000 atheists in the Ruhr district of Germany.

Traffic Director Willlam H. Harland was the victim of Mr. Simmons' criti- | cism, but he shifted the responsibility | to the Police Department, declaring he | had nothing to do with the reservation | of parking space for taxicabs. | “What earthly process of reasoning makes it necessary or desirable to put all the available places in the down- | | town section of the city, mainly at the street corners, in the hands of the taxi- cabs to carry on a public business and let those feliows block the thoroughfare and say to members of Congress going | to departments to transact business you e no right to reserve space for them?” Mr. Simmons asked. Police Regulation. | “I have nothing to do with the set- | ting aside of space for taxicabs,” re- | | plied Mr. Harland. “That comes under a police regulation. “One of the reasons why a number | | of people have lost some faith in the | ability of the Commissioners to handie | the business of Washingtos sald Mr. | Simmons, “is the fact that they have | | just been deliberately turning the place | over to the taxicab people and the sight- | seeing busses and others. “ Mr. Simmons also turned loose on the solicitors for the sightseeing bus oper- | ators and declared that if a person | walks toward the Capitol he will be | “waylaid and stopped and a half & dozen of those fellows will get in front | of you.” | “You have to fight with them, argue with them,” he continued. “You have not only given the public streets to the transaction of public business, but yon | allow them to come down and harass people. The same thing is true, if you take your wife and come out of the Washington Hotel, and you happen to look like a gawky country fellow like I “do and start down Pennsylvania avenue, down this way, that whole bunch you have turned the streets over to around | Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets will | harass you.” . H Should Use Bullding. ““The moral of that is to eitify your- self,” injected Representative Thatcher. Later Mr. Simmons asked Traffic Di- | rector Harland if it had ever occurred to him that the sightseeing busses should operate out of a taxpaying build- ing and not be given the public streets. “That is what they should be ri quired to do,” responded Mr. Harland. | | " “Then why do not you require them to do it?” inquired Mr. Simmons. “Going up to a curb and unloading is one thing, but just turning the streets of Washington over to these people to use is another thing.” ‘The committee also discussed the parking signs, pointing out that some | motorists disregard those forbidding | | parking at any time. In this connec- | tion Mr. Harland was told that some of these =signs, particularly those in front of street elevators and in front of entrances to stores, might be re- moved at night. = PAIl 0'Brien and his Nafelkons THE CITY CLUB 1320 @ STREET CCUMULATE $100 in this bank at 3%, then take out a Time Certificate paying 4%.
