v “ this picture entirely,” - "MSGR. RYAN HITS COUGHLIN CLAIMS Monetary Views of Priest » 90 Per Cent Wrong, Says C. U. Professor. By tne Associated Press. Challenging the monetary views of Father Charles E. Coughlin as “90 per cent wrong,” the Right Rev. John A. Ryan of Catholic University was in the thick of th® campaign fray todav, battling for the re-election of President Roosevelt. Msgr. Ryan, In a broadcast ad- dress under the auspices of the Demo- ecratic National Committee, said last night: “The charge of communism directed at President Roosevelt is the silliest, falsest, most cruel and most unjust accusation ever made against a Pres- ident in all the years of American history.” At Pittsburgh, Father Coughlin de- layed a scheduled address to listen in on Father Ryan's statement that the radio priest's “monetary theories and proposals find no support in the en- cyclicals of either Pope Leo XIII or Pope Pius XI.” Coughlin Plans Reply. ‘Then the Detroit priest told his au- dience in Pittsburgh’s Syria Mosque that he would reply to Father Ryan over the radio tomorrow. “If I am wrong, I shall pass out of he said, “and if I cannot prove Msgr. Ryan is wrong, 1 will likewise pass out of the picture.” He said Mr. Roosevelt holds no | membership card in the Communist party, but entertains “doctrines and theories that are held by the Com- munists.” Father Ryan, who is professor of | moral theology and industrial ethics at Catholic University and formerly was on an N. R. A. appeals board, asserted: | he added. authorized it to | personal property by any means.” “I say deliberately to the laboring | men and women of America that | Father Coughlin's explanation of our economic maladies is at least 50 per | cent wrong, and that his monetary | remedies are at least 90 per cent 4 wrong. | “If the latter were enacted into | law they would prove disastrous to the great majority of the Amerlcan people, particularly to the wage earners.” Besides declaring that charges of communism against the President are “ugly, cowardly and flagrant calum- nes,” he denied that such New Dealers as Felix Frankfurter, Rexford G. Tug- | - well, Sidney Hillman and David Du- binsky were communistic. | ‘The New Deal, the speaker said, has enacted “moderate measures of eco- nomie reform which were long over- due in the United States. If they are denounced as communistic, it is simply | because this is the most damaging | epithet that can be hurled at them by | the beneficiaries of social injustice.” “Not the least of President Roose- velt's achievements,” he said, “is that he set up an effective check to the| spread of communism and other va- | rieties of destructive radicalism If he is defeated for re-election and if his| policies are discredited, communism | will enter upon a period of rapid | growth and widespread influence in the | United States. “RADICAL” UNITS HIT.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, “furnish, equip, operate and maintain properties and structures of every na- ture and description” and “to lcqulre personal property in any manner.” “The charges are these,” Father Coughlin said, referring to Msgr. Ryan’s speech: “First, that Mr. Roosevelt has no communistic ten- dencies, and, secondly, that because Msgr. Ryan was preaching social jus- tice before I was born, he knows more about it than I do.” He noted that Ryan had sald his “monetary remedies” were “90 per cent wrong,” and added, that while he appreciated the size of his audience, it was “too small” for his reply to Ryan's assertions. “If T am wrong. I shall pass out of | this picture entirely,” he said, “and if I cannot prove Msgr. Ryan is wrong, I will likewise pass out of the picture.” “Therefore,” Father Coughlin con- tinued, “I am going to leave this ques- tion to two authorities: The writings of Pope Pius XI—I, too, can quote him —and I am going to leave it as a sort of letter contest to the audience next Saturday night.” EX-CZARIST OFFICER IS SENTENCED TO DIE By the Associated Press.

DETROIT, October 9.—Seven Black Legion night riders faced sentences of life imprisonment today for their part in the hooded band's terrorism, which ranged from floggings to mur- der. The seven, convicted of first-degree murder, which carries a mandatory life sentence, were called to appear before Circuit Judge Joseph A. Moyni- han, who presided over the recent trial. Another Black Legion member, Dayton Dean, chubby self-styled “ex- ecutioner” of Charles A. Poole, re- ceived a life term at hard labor in the Southern Michigan prison yes- terday. It was a routine police in- vestigation of the roadside slaying of | Poole, a former W. P. A. worker, last May which exposed the hooded band's | extensive activities in Michigan and resulted in the arrest of at least 70 men on various criminal charges. The seven to come before the court today include “Colonel” Harvey Davis, Ervin D. Lee, Urban Lipps, Paul R. Edwards, Edgar Baldwin, Lowell Rush- ing and John Bannerman. Four other members, convicted of second-degree murder in the Poole death, face sen- tences Saturday which, under Michi- gan law, can range up to and includ- ing life terms.

KNOW WHAT YOU'RE BUYING Approximately 50 brands of anti-freeze are being marketed under various names. Most of them are based on alcohol, and because they are not plainly labeled it is easy to become confused. Just ask your dealer this simple ques- tion about any anti-freeze you are considering buying: “How much of this product is alcohol?” That is important, for alcohol, no matter how dis- guised or what it is called, is subject to evaporation, leaving you without adequate protection. Your dealer will tell you that Eveready Prestone contains no alcobol ..« and that it will mot boil off or evaporate.
