RELIGIOUS COAS SLATED IR YEAR Welfare Recovery Leaders Spurred by Message From Roosevelt. Btirred by a message from Presi- dent Roosevelt, an address by Sec- retary of Commerce Roper, and ap- peals from Jewish, Roman Catholic and Protestant speakers, the National | Committee for Religion and Welfare Recovery last night proposed a year- | ‘round program designed to revital- ize religion in the life of America, | and “contribute to bringing in a| better day for our Nation and the world.” Distinguished leaders of the three great faiths at the Willard Hotel Joined in declarations of the great | “need” in modern life for a strength- ening of the moral and religious fiber of the people. Coupled with this were reports of a steady recent | growth in church membership, and | encouraging indications that church work now is on the “upgrade.” Special Days Planned. | The program adopted last night | on motion of Louis Kenedy of New York, recommended observance of several special days throughout the year, such as “Golden Rule Observ- ance of Mother's Day,” next Sunday, and Fellowship Week in October cul- minating in Loyalty Sunday, when all faiths will co-operate in a mobili- zation of the religious and welfare | forces of the Nation, October 6. “Stewardship” was stressed and ar- rangements suggested for a steady | Nation-wide educational program throughout the year. In response to a greeting from President Roosevelt, to the session, the committee as its last act on motion of Dr. Christian F. Reisner of New York, sent a pledge to the Chief Executive signed by Walter W. Head of St. Louis, chairman, and Charles V. Vickrey of New York, sec- retary. After expressing appreciation for | the President's greeting, the commit- tee's letter declared that “we, repre- senting the three great faiths—Jew- ish, Roman Catholic and Protestant— pledge our sympathetic support in| every way by which religion can con- | tribute to bringing in a better day for our Nation and the world. To that end we covet your continued in- terest and co-operation in making the program of our organization ;flec-‘ tive.” | | fect superstructure. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

President Roosevelt in his message | said: “I earnestly hope the splendid ob- Jectives sought through the confer-| ence will be obtained. To bring con- | vincingly to the hearts and minds of | our people their full responsibilities and opportunities in strengthening | the spiritual forces of the Nation is| a task of major importance. If perma- | nent economic prosperity is given| proper safeguards the business, social | and religious life of our people must | be co-ordinated. It is not enough to work out trade agreements and con-| fine our efforts to the solution of | business problems alone.” | Secretary Roper, Bishop James E.| Freeman, Rev. John Cartwright, pas- | tor of the Church of the Immaculate | Conception; William Weiss of New | York City, president of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, and Mr. Head addressed the final banquet session, and messages were read not only from President | Roosevelt, but from Senator Arthur | Capper, of Kansas; Senator Royal S. | Copeland, of New York; and Bishop | John 8. Stamm, of the Evangelical Church, Kansas City. | Roper Cites History: i Secretary Roper stressed the need for religion not only in individual| lives, but in the life of nations, and pointed to historic instances where | nations caught in “social cataclysms” | had turned to God for strength. | “Those institutions which enhance | private character, as the church sure- | ly should,” he declared, “contribute to our representative governmental system and institutions of democr: a leaven of integrity to which I I | for immunity to those diseases of the ' Phone DIstrict 4400 $1.50 El 1Za | when such policies obstruct and con- | ington, e | Pather Cartwright and Dr. Abram | poralities. counting room.

Roosevelt Prepares to Veto Measure. By the Associated Press. The White House was deluged to- day with telegrams urging the Presj- dent either to sign or veto the Patman cash bonus bill. Attaches estimated that 5,000 had arrived before noon, but there was no check as to whether the majority favored the legislation. Veterans’ leaders had asked their followers to send to the White House and Capitol | Hill telegrams demanding enactment. Apparently President Roosevelt was | not takinz time to read the messages. He was prepared to veto the bill soon efter it reaches him from the Senate, where bonus leaders were trying to marshal every ounce of their strength | to save the measure from defeat. Mr. Roosevelt's conference yesterday with financial advisers was taken as | meaning that in the event Congress | overrides his veto the President will | insist upon levying new taxes. He did not mention the word “bonus” in a greeting he sent last page, is MAY 10, 1935 night to 8t. Louls, where the Conven- tion Committee for the forthcoming 1936 American Legion conclave was in session. “War veterans are and should be in- terested in the welfare of the country as a whole,” he said. “Our constant objective is to care for the disabled, the sick and destitute. American Legionnaires and the veterans of all wars support this national policy.” In some quarters this was regarded as echoing the idea the President ex- pressed at Roanoke, Va., some time ago in an address generally inter- preted as a stand against full and immediate payment of the bonus. —_— ECCLES SEES EVIL OF CREATING FEAR IN BONUS PASSAGE (Continued Prom First Page.) of what critics have envisioned as political control over the Federal Re- serve System. ‘ Generally, bankers already heard by the Glass group have expressed oppo- sition to the Federal Reserve pro- visions of the bill. Opponents a parently reserved their strongest tacks on these sections until hear- ings began on the Senate side of the Capitol. House passage of the bill came after that body had smashed down a pro- posal by Representative Cross, Demo- crat, of Texas, to make the Federal Reserve System a central Government- owned bank.

Representative Willlams, Democrat, of Missourl, contended such a move would be an unconstitutional seizure of property and the proposal was re- Jected, 112 to 61. Eccles previcusly had told a House committee that the control provided by the omnibus banking bill “should be just as effective in operating the system in the public interest as if the Government owned the stock.” Appexi by Priest, ‘The House vote against making the Pederal Reserve System a central bank closely followed an appeal by Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, Detroit priest, for establishment of & central bank “owned by the peopie and controlled by the people directly through the Congress of the United States.” House Republicans tried unsuccess- fully to eliminate sections of the bill which would extend presidential con- | trol over the Federal Reserve Board, extend Reserve Board control over Reserve Barks, allow the Reserve Board to tell the 12 Federal Reserve Banks when to buy or sell Governe ment securities, and permit the Re- serve Board to vary the reserves member banks must maintain dgainst deposits to “prevent injurious credit expansion or contraction.” ‘The House vote by party on passage of the banking bill follows: For: Against: Democrats ..
