[, Says Communism Peril to Civilization. Christianity must arm itself against international Communism if it is to survive in the ultimate conflict for control of human affars, Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, 8. J., regent of the School of Foreign Service of Georgetown Uni- | versity, declared last night in address- ing the Christ Child Society at the| ‘Willard Hotel. Another world war, the educator warned, might well mark the end, of Christian civilization. “The challenge is not for religion to lower its standard or change its course, but to dare to hold them both unchanged,” he warned. Await Next War. “International Communism is wait- ing in tense expectation, hoping that the nations will embark again on re- ciprocal homicide,” Dr. Walsh said, “for well its leaders know that another world war will mark the end of Chris- tian civilization and usher in a re- turn to the ethics of the jungle. “That will be Communism's ap- pointed hour to foment domestic dis- content and profit by international Jealousy.” The Georgetown educator, who has | been one of -the leaders during the past 12 years in opposition to the spread of communism, continued: “Capitalism must supply an ac- ceptable substitute for the intriguing appeal of communism directed at pes- haps 90 per cent of the human race, | and clothe its platform in practical, | understandable language. And it| must mean it; it must be sincere and circumstantiai in its proposals. It must admit, as never before, that labor | 1s an indispensable partner in the| economic processes that have created national wealth: that both groups are, as it were, journeymen of nature | standing shoulder to shoulder at the same glowing forge of life, whether clad in overalls or dinner jackets; that both take a wage for their re- | spective tasks, and that hitherto cap- ital has paid itself too high a wage.” Character Is Foundation. Social betterment “grows upward and outward,” Dr. Walsh declared, *from the roots of character and by moral persuasion, and cannot be im- posed from the head downward.” A church that refuses to its standard and hold its course un- changed, he warned, will be “hated.” but cannot do otherwise “if it would save its own soul and the soul of humanity.” He concluded with the solemn warn- ing that “if religion falters or pleads | expediency, or fears to offend prom- inent pew-holders, both are lost.” The address last night was ar- ranged for the benefit of the Christ | Child Society in carrying on its work | in the District. lower | | Cooper (Continued From First Page.) Goldstein’s opening address to the jury, der.ied there was anything irreg- | ular or improper about any of the financial transactions referred to in| the indictment. He said all the trans- actions were conducted in the open | and with the appsoval of the con- troiler of the currency and the stock- holders of both banks. He declared it was “ridiculous” to charge Cooper with attempting to defraud a bank in which he had a financial interest. The Commercial and Continental banks were so closely | tied together, he said, that anything | which Cooper did to aid one was/ beneficial to both. If he had done harm to either, it would have ad- | versely affected both, and he was, deeply involved financially in the (atef of both, the attorney pointed out. | Goidstein had brought out that Cooper had an interest of about| £250,000 in the Continental bank and | about $18,000 in the Commercial. | Leahy said that because of the link: between the two institutions, Cooper ! could rot defraud one without menacing his interest in both. Leesburg Banker Testifies. The first Government witness was | Edwin E. Garrett, president of the | Loudoun National Bank at Lees- | burg, Va. He identified a note for | $15,000 which Cooper made out to the Loudoun bank. Details of this trans- action were not elaborated. Ralph W. Evans, employed by the receiver of the Continental Trust Co. testified next that he had made re. peated searches for canceled notes covering loans made by Commercial to Continenta!, but had been able to find none of them. Siaugkter, on the stand yesterday, also identified the written agreement by which Continental transferred its dc- | posit liabilities of $2,800,000 to Com- mercial, turning over at the same time all its assets, having a book value of $4.000,000. It was this affiliation which, Gold- stein declared, paved the way for alleged fraudulent dividend payments and loans. Theater for Mutes. Moscow, Russia, has opened a thea- ter for the deaf and dumb.

Hun- dreds were on the fire line. In the San Diego area, firefighters, C. C. C. workers and soldiers were seeking to stop fires near Escondido and Camp Kearney. Northwest of Sunland, 1,500 acres of rough terrain were burned over before a fire in the Kagel and Lopez Canyons were brought under control. Eight cabins were destroyed. Grave concern over flood danger was expressed by forestry officials in the Altadena-La Crescenta area northeast of here, where the first major fires broke out yesterday. Belief was expressed that a more serious flood threat exists in the area than befors the death-dealing food of 1934, when some 44 people lost their lives. Yesterday’s blaze destroyed more than a score of homes and a $150,000 sanitarium in the Altadena foothills, and burned over valuable watersheds in the area.

By the Associated Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky., October 24¢.—An indictment charging Jockey Willle (Smoky) Saunders with being an ac- cessory to murder and Walter Schaef- fer, race track exercise boy, with the murder of Mrs. Evelyn Sliwinski was voted by the county grand jury here today. p The joint indictment was returned by the jury several hours after it be- gan investigating the auto ride death of the young Louisville married wom- an whose battered body was found on the Ohio River road here about 3 a.m. last Sunday. The jury heard the testimony of Mrs. Agatha Mackison, the other party girl on the fatal ride which climaxed a night of drinking and merry making at Louisville's hot spots. Saunders, 20, who rose to fame this year by riding winners in the Ken- tucky Derby here and the Preakness at Pimlico, Md., was at liberty under $5.000 bond. His pal, Schaeffer, 25, is a native of Chicago Heights and has been a rider since he was 15. Both stoutly denied any responsibility for | the woman'’s death. . JOCKEY WILLIE SAUNDERS —Copyright, A.

Schaeffer contradicted a statement ‘The . indictment which named by Mrs. Mackison that the automobile | Scheeffer as principal and Saunders was deliberately driven over Mrs. Sli- | as accessory def:ned an automobile as | crime. Although no trouble was anticipated in getting Schaeffer back a bench warrant was issued for him, with bond fixed at $25,000. Officers were expected to leave late in the day for Baltimore. Saunders told Chlef of Detectives Edward McElliott that Mrs. Sliwinski got out of the automobile when she became ill from too many gin bucks and was left at the roadside, and that he, Schaeffer and Mrs. Mackison drove farther up the road. They came back, he said, and at the point where Mrs. Sliwinski was put out he “felt & bump” and “had an idea they , might have hit the girl.” Saunders qualified this by saying he was in the back seat of the car and had no personal knowledge that they had struck the woman. He said the two women were intoxicated, but that he and Schaeffer were not. Mrs. Mackison, in her statement to police that preceded filing of ‘harges against the two youths, said her escort drove the car over the body twice, once as Mrs. Sliwinski staggered in the road after getting out of the car, and again coming from the opposite direction “about 50 or 60 miles an hour.” —_— A third folio Shakesptare, printed | in 1864, brought $3,000 in London.
