FASSNACHT TELLS PASSION PLAY NEED Portrayer of Christ Thinks America Will Profit By and Appreciates Role. Forty-nine years ago a 4-month-old | baby boy appeared in the role of Jesus Christ with the Freiburg Passion Play- ers in Freiburg, Germany. The child was Adolph Fassnacht, who makes his first appearance@n Washington tonight. Fassnacht was literally born in his part, his father and grandfather be- fore him having devoted their lives to the same role. ‘The purpose of the play, as he sees it, is simply to carry the message of Christ's life to the world. First Visit in 1928. He first came to the United States with his company in 1928, opening at St. Joseph, Mo. In the two years that followed he traveled over the country, going from city to city in an automobile in order to acquire first-hand impres- sions of the American people. “I believe,” he said, “that there is need in America for the Passion Play, and that our efforts are appreciated by your people. “Many, no doubt, come to our per- formances from mere curiosity, but ‘I am sufe they leave with the message of Jesus Christ deeply implanted in their minds.” Mr. Fassnacht is singularly direct and simple in his manner. Role Is Life Work. “My entire life is wrapped up in the Passion Play,” he said. “It has been the life work of my family for genera- tions, and to me it is more than the mere playing of a part. “I am happy if I can helj ences visualize the life of see it. That has been the Dhrm ot the Passion Players since ‘the first pro- duction in 1264, and it is a mission, which, for me, can never be altered.” Mr. Fassnacht supervises the details of pre] for each performance per- sonally, and these additional duties oc- cupy a great deal of his time. Believes Youth Sound. “It is fatiguing,” he said, “and in the day I am very tired. But at night, when the play begins, it is different. Then all weariness is forgotten and the play is the thing.” He does not believe that the youth of America is decadent or that it need worry especially over its salvation. “But,” he repeated, “it is good for them to see the play for cultural rea- my lnm- - — —— Illinois Mine to Be Reopened.

But in every attempt to revive business confidence, restore economic stability, whether in- stituted by the President of not, we unrduervedly and unstintedly co-oper- ated.” ROAD ENGI.NEER DIES Maj.

MORROW IGNORES | FIERY OPPONENT Jersey Senatorial Candidates Differ Widely—Hot Con- tests for House.. By the Associated Press. NEWARK, N. J, October 27.—The contest for United States Senator in New Jersey has robbed year's cam- paign of the usual apathy 6f an off-year. Dwight W. Morrow becams a candi- date just a few months ago and the Nation took notice. He was a fresh figure in the game of politics, which now has him pitted against Alexander Simpson and Miss Thelma Parkinson, Democrats, and against the nomnees of the Prohibition, Communist and Soclalist parties. Simpson is a candidate for the full senatorial term of six years. Miss Parkinson went from Smith College into politics, For the most part, New Jersey has turned its eyes and ears toward two men, heard both of them renounce pro- hibition, one of them laud President Hoover, the other bitterly assail him. Answers No Questions. Morrow answers no charges. He does not mention his adversaries. Neither does he criticize the issucs they raise. He makes no specific requests for votes for himself; he asks only that the peo- ple exercise their franchise. Simpson, spectacular of speec raised a warning against mppan or indorsers of President Hoover and the national administration, depression continue. Simpson is a man of slogans and al- ll(.erlflom Morrow is “Dwight Worship Morrow” to Simpson.

Another Coming Here. By the Associated Press. MARION, Ill, October 27.—A cam- paign against all mechanical devices in Illinois mines, which greatly reduce the number of miners employed, has been launched by a committee | representing both the Lewis and Hmr. factions of the United Mine Workers of America. Approximately 100 Southern Illinols miners gathered here yesterday to con- sider possible action on a resolution calling upon miners to “oease work of mechanical devices in.the mines on and after November 15, 1930.” John Gerard of Johnston City, a member of the Lewis faction, indorsed the campalgn, but urged miners to take the matter up waltln coal :ofilplny officials, instead of calling a strike. | The miners have appointed & com- mittee to confer with Gov. Emmerson’s Commission on Unemployment. ‘The committee will report that many miners are out of work and some of their familles starving, because mechanical devices, especially loading machines, make it impossible for many men to find work. The same committee will go to Washington to confer with Presi- dent Hoover’s Commission on Unem- ployment, and there they will report that present freight rates discriminate against Illinois coal in favor of Ken- tucky coal.
