McCartney Urges Life of Christ as Guide in Turbulent Times. * Opening the golden jubilee celebra- tion of the Church of the Covenant yesterday morning, Dr. Albert Joseph McCartney reviewed the half-century history of the church and delivered a stirring plea for Americans in these changing days to follow the “unshak- able life which is founded on Jesus Christ.” Dr. McCartney declared the 50 years since organization of the church “have witnessed greater changes in the man- e H ACTIVE Mountain-Building Theory Explained ~~ RADIO ACTIVE EATING MOUNTAIN BUILDING POINTS This diagram illustrates the theory advanced by Prof. Bailey Willis, Stanford University geologist, that radio- active heating expands deep-lying rock structures and thus is building mountains on the Atlantic seaboard, as evidenced by recent Eastern earthquakes.

Richberg said yesterday he is opposed to a constitutional TESTS ONHOUSING NOTTO SLOW WORK Officials Say 52 of 53 Proj- ects Can Go Ahead in Face of Adverse Decision. By the Associated Press. Administration officials said today the Supreme Court decision on the right of the Government to condemn land for low- housing—one of the four New Deal tests now pending— would have little effect on the $160,- 000,000 now being spent for such con- struction. While the court’s ruling may have a controlling influence on future slum clearance programs, officials said, 52 of the 53 projects now contemplated can go ahead even in the face of an adverse decision. The point at issue in the housing case is whether the Government can use its power of eminent domain to take property for low-cost housing or slum clearance projects.

Other services of the jubilee yes- terday included: Sunday school, the communion service at 5 pm. and alumni gathering of the Christian En- deavor, addressed by Mrs. Frances Clark, widow of the founder of the Christian Endeavor.

CHICAGO, November 4.—Harrison E. Spangler. director of the Repub- lican Middle West campaign, pre- dicted in an interview today that the 1936 convention might name another “dark horse” candidate, like ‘Warren G. Harding. in 1920. “There are a number of able men who have already received mention as Republican presidential timber.” said Spangler. “It may be. however, that the man who will be selected by the convention has not yet re- ceived prominent notice.” Hardine. a newspaper publisher of Marion.
