IONISTS SUSPEND SESSION IN ROW Split Over Religious Sanc- tions Deadlocks Lucerne Delegates. * By the Associated Press. LUCERNE, Switzerland, August 26. ~—Dissension among rightists and leftists today caused a suspension of all official activities of the World Zionist Congress while delegates sought to achieve an agreement. Palcor agency reported that the deadlock was caused by the insist- ance of the Mizrachi, Orthodox wing, that definite sanctions be provided for in resolutions against the viola- tion of religious observances by Jew- ish farmers and laborers in Pales- tine. All day yesterday and until early this morning, a group of leaders headed by Dr. Chaim Weizmann, who is spoken of for presidency of the ‘World Zionist organization, conferred with labor and Mizrachi representa- tives in an effort to reach a compro- mise. Although labor representatives declare “we favor the observance of the Sabbath and other rites as a sig- nificant social institution, we cannot | agree to sanctions, believing tolerance | and not force can bring about respect for religious law.” At a meeting early this morning, Zalman Rubashov and Josef Sprinzak, Palestine labor leaders, addressed a caucus of the Mizrachi to urge a compromise so that the congress may proceed with its activities. Rabbi Wolf Gold, Brooklyn, president of the American Mizrachi; Rabbi Meier Berlin of New York and Palestine, Moses Shapira, Samuel Shragai and Dr. N. Hoffman are adamant on be- half of the Mizrachi religious de- mands. Kurt Blumenfeld, German delegate, asserted the Zionists aimed to create a “Jewish renaissance” in Palestine, | which now was troubled by a flood of | immigrants “seeking refuge from the world depression, but forgetting Jew- ish and Zionist ideals.” Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver of Cleve- land, Ohio, told the congress that| “capitalism had placed Europe and| America on the edge of an abyss. “Working class youth,” he said,| “can be saved from communism only | by the introduction of a system of; social justice much more developed than that now existing in capitalist states.” MRS. CATT ADVISES " COURAGE BY WOMEN Feminist Predicts Troubles Will Be Ironed Out, Despite Troublesome Times. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 26.—On the ev: of the fifteenth anniversary of the woman's suffrage proclamation, Mrs. Carrfe Chapman Catt, “mother” of the feminist movement, last night called upon the women of America to “keep up your courage.” | Mrs. Catt, now 76 years old, said: “Women are making their voices heard in government. They are| studying national problems with more intellige:.ce and int rest than before. “And though these are troublous times, I'd like to tell them—keep up your courage and remember the world | has had hard times before and has always emerged. Whatever is said or done to produce confidence and sta- bility will hasten the day of recovery. “Just now there is world-wide un- rest, depression and talk of war. But | if the future “>llows the example of | the past, when recovery is attained, I predict we will have fewer problems, | fewer disturbances and a long period | of stable, quiet growth. Another war, | of course, would retard that period of peace and plenty.” MARYLANDER DIES OF RARE MALADY | Blood Disease Fatal to Harcourt | L. Stevenson—Examination to Seek Source.

NEW YORK (#).—If you have the inclination and the money you can talk to almost any part of the world from your own office or home. | Today, as a result of the demand of | business for contact with its represen- tatives all over the glcbe, 60 countries and island groups form an intercon- nected telephone system, with an esti- mated 33,100,000 outlets. Over this system voices are making | love, transacting business and carry- | ing on diplomatic negotiations from | Oriental Java to sophisticated Paris. | Horn Sold By Telephone. One high-pressure American sales- | man even sold a new style of automo- | bile horn to foreign distributors by | blowing its advertised dulcet tones into a telephone with trans-Atlantic con- nections. The telephone making a trans- oceanic call is plugged into short-wave sending and receiving stations. In- stead of being sent out in all directions like ordinary radio broadcasts, the waves, carrying the conversations, are “shot” at the receiving station on the | other side of the water, where they are | amplified and sent over the telephone | wires to the party being called. This wide international development | has come in the short span of eight | years since the first transocean path- way was established between the United States and England in 1927. ‘The last large country to come into the fraternity of international speech was Japan, with over a million tele- | phones, last December. Immediate | developments point to the inclusion, in 1935, of Jamaica and the Domini- | can Republic. 3 Countries Unconverted. | Only three countries where the| telephone is in general use, are un- connected with the world’s vocal path- | ways. They are Russia, with 576 tele- | phones; China, with 154,000, and New Zealand, with 155,000. Approximately 24,000 trans-Atlan- tic calls were made last year. Of these 60 per cent were business and 40 per cent private calls. The demand to include additional countries, the American Telephone & Telegraph Co. reports, comes first from industries and businesses that need more intimate trade contacts. ‘The investment involved in these international installations is esti- mated at between 10 and 15 million | dollars. The American investment | alone is five million. P e Family Long Lived. GREENVILLE, Ga. (#).—Mrs. Nan- nie Chambliss Fowler, at 61, is the first of & family of 12 children to die.

HAGERSTOWN, Md., August 26.— { Prospects of & bitter contest for the Republican congressional nomination from this district were seen here to- day in reports that State Senator E. W. Miller of Washington County and Mayor Irvin M. Wertz of Hagerstown will be opposing candidates. Observers, feeling the county elec- tion pulse and casting knowing eyes over the rest of the Western Mary- land political horizon, found two other probable candidates and about half a dozen “possibles.” State Senator Robert B. Kimble of Allegany County, regarded as one of the two certainties, is not yet ready to toss his hat in the ring officially, friends say, but they predict he will be a powerful contender. In Montgomery County, Magistrate Harold C. Smith of Rockville, who fell victim to the 1932 landslide for Representative David J. Lewis, is pic- tured as anxious to try his hand in the congressional race again. In addition, observers here say, at least six others, including at least two Allegany County Republican lead- ers, are being mentioned as amenable to persuasion to join in the many- sided fight.

The Connecticut idea en- couraged self-respect in th. individual citizen, strengthened the Nation, pro- moted its healthy life, its wholesome liberty, its justifiable pursuit of hap- piness.” Bingham asserted centralized au- thority “is sure to retard growth and kill the chances for that future de- velopment which can come only as the result of individual initiative, unre- stricted by bureaucratic rules and reg- ulations.” City-Wide Celebration Will @ Women with Money to Burn Are the Only Ones Not Interested in Our Ads Most housewives read our announce- ments regularly to get helpful sugges- tions for their menus—they are guides to Quality Food throughout the seasons.
