PRESBYTERIANS HIT MOVIE ‘PAGANISM Hollywood and Nevada Held Trail Blazers in Casting Aside Marriage. By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, June 2.—Contro- versy_moved today from the path of the General Assembly of the Presby- terlan Church in the United States of America. Appeased by elimination of qualified approval of birth control from the re- port of its Special Commission on Mar- riage, Divorce and Remarriage, and assured that a similar report by a com- mittee of the Federal Council of no ecclesiastical weight or authority of the council, the As:embly today took up proposals that it withdraw from the council with but little doubt remaining that the suggestions would be rejected. It accepted the annual report of the council and adopted, without discus- sion, a committee recommendation that $1,500 be appropriated to the Commit- tee on Marriage and the Home of the council, the very group which promul- gated the controversial birth-control report. - Backs Marriage Group. However, it tabled a motion by the Rev. Phillips Elliott of New York ex- pressing regret at elimination of its own commission’s birth-control report as marking “the way in which we are going.” \ After making it first the target of criticlsm, the Assembly yesterday swung solidly behind its commission on marriage, which had been driven to revise its original report, and agreed with it that “it is doubtful if anything is wrong with marriage today that was not always wrong”; that “we are wit- nessing a recrudescence of paganism, with Hollywood blazing the way and Nevada prostituting its Statehood and pandering to the weaknesses of human nature for 30 pieces of silver”; that “among other things, the deplorable competition recently noted between the Legislatures of some States to cheapen and commercialize divorce leads us to conclude that no recommendations as to reforms in divorce statutes would bring about any general improvement,” and that “what is needed more than companionate marriage or easy divorce or any other solution that follows the line of least resistance is the establish- ment in our churches, schools and col- leges of fundamental studies in mar- riage, which would teach our boys and girls how to make a success of mar- riage.” Marriage Study Favored. ‘With these statements the Assembly approved suggested courses of education for_youth, parents and ministers. Declarations of the Assemblies of 1926 and 1930 in opposition to compulsory military training were reaffirmed, and the Board of Christian Education was instructed to support any of the church’s 2,000,000 communicants holding that “the right and duty of citizenship should not be conditioned upon the test of ability or willingness, contrary to conscience, to bear arms or to take part as & combatant of war.” Communicants of the church in the United States of America will continue to say, in repeating the Lord’s Prayer, “s * * TForgive us our debts as we forgive ur debtors” rather than “For- give us our treaspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” ‘Told that Greek scholars insisted that “debts” was the correct translation, the General Assembly of the church ap- proved a revised book of common wor- ship maintaining the old wording, though some members expressed the view that it was “very confusing” in union church meetings to have Presby- terians say “debts” while Methodists, Baptists and others say “trespasses. ASSEMBLY WEIGHS UNION. Question Expected to Come Up Today at Carolina Conference. MONTREAT, N. C., June 2 (®).— The question of organic union with other Presbyterian groups was expected to eome to the front in today's session of the general assembly of the Presby- terian Ghurch in the United States. Held over from yesterday, when the % | committee was unprepared to report, the recommendations were expected to create as serious a division as did the matter of abolition of compulsory mili- tary training in church-owned schools and withdrawal from the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. Seven Presbyteries have presented overtures asking that negotiations with other Presbyterian and Reformed Churches be dropped. One requested continuing of negotiations. Union Considered. Union is being considered with the Presbyterian Church of North America, the Reformed Church in America (Dutch) and Reformed Church in the United States (German). Negotiations with the Associate Reformed Church are being conducted separately. After an afternoon of debate, the general assembly late yesterday voted to sever connections with the Federal ‘The Council Committee's action in approving birth control was one of the chief reasons for this action. ‘The assembly, at yesterday’s session, voted to request the synods to abolish compulsory military training in church- owned colleges. —_— FORT WORTH IS CHOSEN NARCOTIC HOSPITAL SITE Addicts West of Mississippi to Be Treated in Institution Cost- ing $3,000,000.

MONTGOMERY, Ala., June 2.—The boom of cannon and the shrill notes of “reveille” today gave a military at- mosphere to Camp Stephens, Where more than 500 Confederate veterans are encamped for their forty-first an- nual reunion. The blasts of the bugle also denoted the beginning of a round of four days of activity for the survivors of the regiments that followed Lee and Jack- son. Their commander in chief, Gen. W. P. Stephens of Coushatta, La. to- day received the keys to Alabama from Gov. B. M. Miller, marking the official opening of the reunion. Will Meet Again. ‘While this had been described as the “last” reunion, there was every - indica- tion that the’ veterans would select a site for the forty-second next year, with Richmond, Va., bidding for it and Washington, D. C., mentioned. ‘The first session of the Confederate Southern Memorial Association today will mark the beginning of formal con- vention routine, and tonight the United Sons of Confederate Veterans opens its thirty-sixth annual convention. The veterans today had a day of amusement before them, with a band concert nearly every hour, vaudeville, moving picture shows and sighiseeing tours to Confederate shrines in this “the Cradle of the Confederacy.” The Entertainment Committee had bands of roving minstrels on the streets, including old-time fiddlers, buck and wing dancers, jubilee singers and quartets giving impromptu pro- grams. Every veteran who wished to make a visit to some place in town had only tc make his wish known and transpor- tation and a Boy Scout escort were at_hand. Nearly 900 Scouts, representing every State in the old South, were en- camped at Camp Miller and today were spick-and-span for review by Gov. Miller. VETERAN WINS CASE AGAINST GOVERNMENT Justice Hitz Rules He Is Entitled to Preferment to Civil Service Appointment. ‘The District Court of Appeals, in an opinion by Justice William Hitz, yester- day upheld a decision by Justice Fred- erick L. Siddons of the District Supreme Court that a person drafted into the military service during the World War and discharged for disability before he is finally assigned to military duty is entitled to preferment for civil service appl;)lln'.ment if his discharge is hon- orable. Howard L. Crowley had brought® sutt against Secretary of War Hurley and members of the Civil Service Commis- sion to place his name on the prefer- ential list. When the lower court had directed the issuance of a mandamus the Government officials appealed. Crowley had been denied preference on the claim he had not been inducted into the military establishment, hav- ing been drafted on September 2, 1918, and discharged for disability November 9 after spending most of the interval as a hospital patient. The appellate court points out Crow- ley had been given vocational trainings and compensation for disability by an- other branch of the Government, and to deny him preferential rating in the civil service would be to make it im- possible for him to utilize the training | the Government had given him for his disability. e MRS. RUTH M. LAMP WINS DIVORCE FROM ARTIST Daughter of Capital Patent Attor- ney Awarded Decree on Grounds of Non-Support. A divorce on grounds of non-support was granted yesterday to Mrs. Ruth M. Lamp, daughter of Clarence P. O'Brien, Washington patent attorney, from Adriane H. Lamp, an artist, a cost of approximately $3,000,000 and | Reno, Nev. After a brief courtship which had its beginning on an ocean liner return- ing from Europe, Mrs. Lamp, who was fcrmerly Mrs. Ruth A. Cady, eloped to Rockville, Md., last November with the artist. In January, Lamp, a native of Hol- land, filed suit for $75,000 damages against his wife's father, charging alienation of Mrs. Lamp's affections and false arrest. Lamp later charged O'Brien was instrumental in attempts to_have him deported. Both suits were dropped by the artist after ®'Brien, in his answer to them, made the countercharge the Rockville marriage was not legal, alleging Lemp was already married. 14 GET HONOR DEGREES Columbia University Graduates Class of 4,936 at Commencement.

CHICAGO, June 2—Twenty-three deaf or hard-of-hearing women are in Chicago to compete for the national championship in lip reading. The contest is sponsored by the American Federation of the Organi- zations for the Hard of Hearing, which is_meeting_here. The preliminadies will be held to- night, when five will be selected to lip-read in the finals tomorrow for the national championship. The present_national laurel holder 1s Miss Evelyn Parry of New York, who will endeavor to hold the honor. The contestants, champions from their respective territories, include: Miss_Annie W. Holbrook, Boston; Miss Flcrence Rose, Cleveland: Miss Loretta MacDonald, Columbus; Miss Bernice Weber, Dayton, Ohio; Mrs. Charles S. Gaylor, Denver; Miss Eliza- beth H.

Deafness is not a handicap, but in many cases a positive assistant in au- tomobile driving, Dr. Roy H. Gilpatrick of Boston told the hard-of-hearing conference. “The deaf or hard-of-hearing driver fect and making his eyes do the work of his ears,” he said. Modern traffic, he said, controlled by lights and visible signals rather than by sounds, for extraneous noise prevents audible signals from be- | ing_accurafely heard. “Sound signals distract the driver's attention. The driver with normal hearing counts on hearing signals and comes to grief when he dces not. But the driver who does not hear, knows he won't hear, and therefore depends on his eyes.” From the Front Row Reviews and News of Washington's Theaters. “Bird in Hand” By the National Players, OHN DRINKWATER'S docile little comedy of love, anger and fireworks “Bird in Hand,” was uncertaken by the Na- tional Players last night, and given to a large audience with an average amount of authenticity. A difficult piece full of British beefand cabbage humor, it be- gan its week's career a trifle tremulously, then brightened up and by the end of the sec- ond act settled down to being more or less what author and Forrest Orr. man intended it to be. Since this play has roamed our countryside before, the question at. hand is more how the players play- ed it than what stuffings Mr. Gals- worthy put into it. By now it is a well known fact that the second act is one df the comedy treasures of this age, that there is little “ac- tion” save that supplied by a will- ful daughter, an antique father, a merchant of little fish (sardines), a thunderstorm and a pompous K. C. with a tocthbrush. Also, that, in its various humorous manifesta- tions, it breathes long and loud of good old England, and may be ad- vised to those who are afraid they are no longer able to laugh outside the raucous halls of Yankee bur- lesquedom. Clifford Brooke, having prodded his players into action with the ap- proving eye of Elkins Cochran for the past few weeks, now dons the thespian mantle and parades himself in one of the juiciest roles of the season—Mr. Blanquet—“the man who travels in sardines.” With an accent savoring strongly of his mut- ton-and-ale country, Mr. Brooke provides much of the humor of the evening, although too immaculately senatorial in his first appearance, and stepping a_trifle overzealously on the “hokum” pedal later on in the evening. Perhaps the original sardine gentleman is still too much with us, yet the characterization did seem more effective in the hands of a less prosperous looking incumbent, and one who suggested that even the bottling of his favored mosses might have been too much for him. Especially to be recommended as the best fruits of this gently sooth- ing evening, is the Ambrose Godol- phin, K. C., provided by Forrest Orr— probably the summit of this gentle- man's lustrous seasons gallery, and the brief, but potent scene in which Raymond Bramley is the indubitable star. John Warburton, too, should be commended for making the here- tofore colorless “son” a man of be- lievable flesh and blood. Some of the other players seemed 111 at ease in their parts, and dropped lines as well as “h’s” here and there. However, the vaults of the theater quaked when “Addie” Hibbard ap- peared as a dancing wife, and just before the play began there was & regal, dark-eyed lady, Roberta Beatty, who came “footlightless” before the audience, and urged true drama Jovers throughout the city to come and see “Strange Interlude,” which it seems this ambitious company will do within a fortnight.

James Stewart & Co., Inc., the New York firm which erected the Wash- ington Building, at Fifteenth and G streets, yesterday lost its mechanic’s lien of $196,000 when the District Court of Appeals, in an opinion by Chief Jus- tice George E. Martin, affirmed the decision of Justice Peyton Gordon of the District Supreme Court. The Stewart Co. had contended it was entitled to the protection of a surety bond of $1,200,000 given to the Shawmut National Bank, trustee under the first mortgage op the building, and that the mortgage 3hould not have been foreclosed before the trustee had exhausted his remedy a t the surety companies. Justice Gordon ruled against the company and held the priority of the mortgage. Although the Washington Central Trust defaulted twice in the terms of the building contract, the appellate court pointed out, Stewart & Co. did not avail itself of the remedies afforded in the contract, but completed the building and filed its mechanic’s lien November 30, 1927. The building firm may not sue the surety companies, the court held, use it is not a party to the bond for which they paid no gcn of the cost. The bond was only for the completion of the building, and has been accomplished there remains no liability on the bond. EGG WINNERS LISTED Anacostia Farms Entry First for ‘Week in Contest.
