Increased electrical development is N THE GERVICE l WAS AN- BOOK IS WRITTEN BYHOUSE MEMBER Ludlow’s “Hell or Heaven” Designed to Focus Attention on “Peace Amendment.” BY WILL P. KENNEDY. To attract nation-wide attention to | his proposed “peace amendment,” which succeeds the Patman “soldiers’ bonus” bill as Number 1 legislation in | the House, Representative Louis Lud- low, Democrat, of Indiana, 28 years in the press gallery and now serving his fifth term in Congress, has writ- ten a book, “Hell or Heaven,” which was today distributed among his colleagues. “My sole purpose in writing the| book has been to promote a humani- | tarian cause that holds my deepest | interest,” explained Ludlow. | ‘The book is dedicated “to the precious young men of America, who are entitled to a better fate than to be sacrificed in the shambles of for- eign wars.” Added interest for mempers of Con- gress is that one of the illustrations | . in the book, “All They Get Is the | Crumbs” was drawn especially for this publication by former Representative John Baer. The author, deeply discouraged over | the world outlook, sees another awful | “hell” looming up in the shape of a | general war which is likely unless something is done. He advocates & specific proposal to keep out of threat- ened entanglements and to stabilize | the peace of America, which, as he | paints the picture, would be “heaven” | in comparison with involvement in | enother mass slaughter. | In his preface he points out that| %2 members of Congress, representing | approximately 18,000,000 people, have | signed a petition as indorsing this| definite proposal for amending the Constitution to provide for a refer-| endum vote on war and to take the| profits out of war. Twenty-nine other | ‘members, representing 7,250,000 more Americans, have pledged their sup- | port of this amendment in the Con- | gress just starting. | In his book Representative Ludlow | predicts that if this constitutional amendment is adopted “America will | be almost 100 per cent protected from any foreign war and from in- volvement in any war of any de- scription which we ought not to enter,” and this result, he asserts, will be sccomplished without any weakening of our national defense. He declares | himself an advocate of strong national | defense. | Staggering _figures are presented showing that in the last session of Congress the total appropriation be- | cause of wars past and preparation | for wars to come was $5317,805,092 | ©or the equivalent of the total value of all real estate and improvements in | nine States and two-thirds of the| wvalue of all real estate and improve- | ments in the District of Columbia besides. A considerable part of Ludlow’s book is devoted to showing that under the war mechanism as it now exists, ‘war making is really more of an exec- utive than a congressional function | and that the individual who happens | to hold the office of President could‘ maneuver the Nation into the biggest | kind of a war at any time he chooses | to do s0. He urges that “before some | tyrant makes his appearance in the | White House” is the time to “decen- | tralize the war power and vest it with the people, who have to do the suffer- ing and the dying.” | Nazi Bible, Terming Christ Jew Foe, Rouses Churchmen By the Associated Press. BERLIN, January 14—The new anti-Jewish version of St. John's Gospel, recently published by Bishop ‘Weidemann of the Evangelical Church of Bremen, who describes Christ as “the first great opponent of the Jews,” aroused new bitterness in church cir- cles today. ‘The gospel, published in pamphlet form as part of the ambitious project started by Nazi translators two years ago to retranslate the Bible, added new fuel to Germany's long contro- versy over the nature of the vision of Christ. Bishop Weidemann belongs to the group of theologians which holds Jesus was not a Jew, basing their | theory on the fact His homeland was Galilee, which was regarded con- temptuously by real Jews. His efforts to harmonize the Chris- | tian gospel with Nazi ideology seem futile to the Germanic faith people, who want a complete break with all religion originating in Palestine. Bishop Weidemann's version was considered to be an interpretation rather than a translation of St. John's | $5.00 Women’s Leather Handbags ..*2.95 Closing out a limited at $2.95.

He was considerably abridged except where St. John's "anger against the Jews for their treatment of Christ could be emphasized to give an anti- semitic turn. The new version characterizes Christ as “the very opposite of Jews,” and gives that as the principal reason why he was crucified. ‘The bishop translates Judea as “Jew Land” saying, for instance, not Jesus “left Judea and departed again into Galilee,” but he “left Jew Land and went again into his homeland of Gali- lee.” To the Protestant confessional the Weldemann version proves its own falsity by robbing the famed sixteenth and seventeenth verses of the third chapter of the gospel of all Christian meaning. The old familiar “for God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son . . ."” is telescoped into this para- phrase: “Such is God's love that He gave His salvation, bringing His message to the world in this chosen one, not to judge the world but to save it through WHAT'S THIG | HEAR ABOUT vard Branch, Young Communist planned in Hungary.

YOUR PURTY translated to eliminate the name of Moses: “The Bible also reports bread fell from heaven for our ancestors in the desert. “Jesus replied: ‘I tell you the truth. ‘These old stories to which you always refer do not help you. My Father alone gives you true, divine bread.’ ” Chancellor Adolf Hitler has kept aloof both from Bishop Weidemann’s group and the Germanic faith move- ment, committing himself only to a firm stand behind “positive Chris- tianity.” Furniture Show Orders Already Hit $60,000,000 Total.

DANVILLE, Va., January 13.— ‘The opportunity to test the du- rability of chewing tobacco has arisen. Mrs. A. Z. Bailey, examining some old effects in a trunk, found a plug of tobacco dated 1831 and manufactured by Peyton Graveley of Henry County. The brand was “Honeydew.” A veteran chewer said he'd take a crack at the 106-year-old plug. He took a nibble. “She’s still got a tang all right,” | | he opined, “but it crumbles—won't behave in a quid.” Hospital Week Set Aside.
