B—8 BAPTISTS DECLAE ACAISTLYNGHING War, Liquor, Indecent Films and Church-State Links Also Are Attacked. By the Associated Press. MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 18.—The influence of the Southern Baptist convention—with a membership of 4,000,000 persons—was enlisted today behind a program to halt lynching, war, the liquor traffic, movies con- sidered unwholesome and any move to link church and state. Added to this program, submitted in a report by the Social Service Com- mission and adopted unanimously yesterday, was an amendment ex- pressing “deep concern for social jus- tice for all individuals and groups.” The amendment, approved by the commission chairman, Dr. A. J. Bar- ton of Wilmington, N. C., was offered by Dr. J. M. Dawson of Waco, Tex., after an address in which he referred to allegations of mistreatment of sharecroppers in the South. The convention postponed until next year action on a recommendation by | Dr. E. M. Poteat. jr., of Raleigh, N. C., for the establishment of a bureau of social research to investigate condi- tions onfronting sharecroppers in Ar- kansas and elsewhere, labor disorders THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, Washington Wayside Random Observations of Interesting Events and Things. ‘TROUBLOUS TIMES.

The names of the streets have been changed and the new street designation signs erected, but the res- idents have been instructed to con- tinue to use:the original address until further notice. ‘That, of course, has led to & num- ber of complications. For instance, a Lyon Village housewife in the midst of making a strawberry short cake the other day, suddenly discovered she did not have a sufficient quantity of whipping cream. She phoned a dairy in Washington and ordered more, giv- ing the old address. An hour passed and the cream had not been delivered. Frantically the woman again called the dairy and was told the driver had been gone long enough to reach Fredericksburg. In about 10 minutes, however, a milk truck pulled up to the door, the driver jumped out puffing, and handed a bottle of cream to the irate housewife on the front steps. averaged $15 a day while the farmers were in Washington. * % % * OUR BUILDING. GROUP of the farmers were A watching around the patio sec- tion of the new Agricultural building. They were in tow of a young man delegated to show them the in- teresting sights. As they stood and gazed at the splendor surrounding them in typical “sons of the soil” awe, one was heard to remark: “They surely spent the—" but he got no further. “They!” cut in the young guide. “Why this is YOUR building—it’s the FARMER'S building in Washington!” ‘With that the chests went out, and for the next 20 minutes the conver- sation revolved around “our bulld- ing.” * ok ox % NO INCONVENIENCE. HARRIED hotel clerk was doing the best he could for the farmer delegate here to participate in the recent demonstration for the New Deal's agricultural program. “The only room I can give you.” said the clerk, apologetically, “is with- out bath.” | “That’s all right.” the farmer waved | a genial hand, “I'll be back in Texas | by Saturday night.” holding them back, offered to pay for protection. “Just try to stand in one place for two minutes, won't you?” he wailed. The boys shuffied even more, if possible. “I'll give you a penny if you'll stand still two minutes,” he tried again, evi- dently speaking to one boy who had young throats. And the officer should get & medal, for he paid off at the end of the specifiad time. * ok ok % “NOBLE O'BRIEN.” HEN the visiting shriners gather here next month one of the popular visitors who was with them at the gathering here in 1923 will be missing, having passed away in San Francisco, Calif., since the last convention. He was a true Irishman, Dan O’Brien by name, who was chief of police of San Francisco. “Noble O'Brien” was his introduc- tion to hundreds of visitors, the police chief having come as a specially in- vited guest of the S8an Francisco tem- ple. “And to what temple does the noble belong?” inquired one of the high officials of a visiting temple. “O’'Brien Temple,” was the response, D.- €, NEW RAIL PENSION PLAN GIVEN HOUSE 50 Crosser Introduces Meas- ure to Replace Act Held Unconstitutional. By the Associated Press. A new railway pension measure to replace that invalidated by the Supreme Court, has been intro- duced under the authorship of Rep- resentative Crosser of Ohio and Sen- ator Wagner of New York, Democrats, who sponsored the former act. By a restatement of the bill's pur- poses, new definitions for some of its terms eliminating all retroactive pro- visions, the authors said they were confident it had been brought into conformity with the court’s five-four decision. Crosser introduced the new bill in the House, while Wagner pocketed a copy and awaited the ex- piration of the Senate’s week end recess. Last year’s bill was declared uncon- stitutional by a majority of the court on the ground employer contributions to the pension system were a denial of the constitutional guarantee that no one should be deprived of property without “due process of law.” Measure Held Social. ‘The majority held, too, and re- peatedly emphasized that the meas- MAY 19, 1935—PART ONE. “employe” and “service period” to make the new bill applicable only to those employed upon or after the date of enactment. Observers noted also that the new bill contained the old requirement for contributions by the rallroads for up a pool for which retire- ment benefits would be paid. Such contributions the court denounced as & denial of “due process.” ‘They remarked also, that no dis- tinction was made between employes actually working in interstate com- merce and those engaged in intrastate activities. The Supreme Court ma- jority without discussing the point, affirmed a lower court decision invali- dating the act for that reason. Passengers Get Last Laugh. Pompously entering a train at Cho- mutov, Bohemia, a ticket inspector examined several tickets and ordered the holders to change at once be- cause they were on the wrong train.

OME of the farmers who came to Washington recently from 25 States in connection with the A. A. A. pilgrimage were ‘“good sports,” according to Washington taxi drivers. Tts to the contrary, the taxi drivers said the farmers seemed to have plenty of money and were look- ing for places to spend it. Night clubs and burlesque shows were the prin- cipal meccas. But what the taxi drivers liked was the size of the tips. One driver who took four of the farmers from the A. A.
