Methodists Urge "Facts of Life’ Be Taught by Parents Pre-Maritcl Medical Examination Laws ‘Also Are Advocated By the Associated Press. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., May 4— The General Conference of the Methodist Church formally pro- claimed today that parents should ltl_erach their children the “facts of (4 “Our. children,” the pronounce- ment stated, “desire and have a right to know before adolescence the facts regarding the origin of life and the nature of their per- sonalities as it relates to sex. “Parents, if properly instructed, are best fitted to give this assist- ance, but if they are recreant to this duty, then qualified persons in the church should teach reverently the beautiful truths of life to off- set the obscene and all-too-pre- valent misinformation to which our children are exposed.” Anocther pronouncement author- {zed by the delegates urged a na- tional law and unifrom State laws requiring medical examinations be- fore marriage and prohibiting mar- riage of persons “unfitted physically or morally, by hereditary or other- wise, for the responsible estate of matrimony.” Elmer E. Collins, Billings (Mont.) lawyer, protested against adoption of the medical measure. “Somebody slipped through a law like that in Montana,” said Lawyer Collins, “and in a1 few months the church people were on their knees praying for its repeal. The respect- able element refused to undergo the humiliation and went outside the State to get married.” But Medical Dr. W. C. Fawcett of Starkwater, N. Dak., said, “Our medical examinstion law in North Dakota has worked out very whole- somely.” Delegates ord:red the election of two additional missionary bishops in China. Bishop Ralph A. Ward, stationed at Chengto, said Christian missionaries rad “great opportu- nity” in China now” because the Chinese were no longer suspicious that missiona-ies “are designed to further imper.al ambitiors of their home countriss.” l.ondon - (i Contlnueq From First Page.) government cannot undertake the war task, “we shall have no alter- native but to expose them and call for a government which can show more firmness and courage.” Unrest among thed younger Con- servatives, such as Richard K.

Lloyd George Critical. ‘The independent newspaper Sun- day Pictorial prominently displayed an article by David Lloyd George, Britain's World War Prime Minister, ' denouncing the direction of the current war as “faulty, feeble and foolish.” “Leaders of democrarcy have ut- terly muddled their case and it will certrainly be lost if there is not an immediate change in direc- tion,” Lloyd George asserted in the article, which occupied the entire Iront page of the Pictorial. “The British Parliament must | take the situation in hand immedi- ately. If they fail to do so without delay they will be guilty of higa treason to the nation. * * * “The war direction must be dras- tically reconstructed in organization and in personnel, otherwise disaster 45 inevitable.” Silent on Sinking Claims. While the War Office remained discreetly silent and official quar- ters declined comment on Ger- many's claim of having sunk a bat- tleship of the Queen Elizabeth class in a bombing attack off Norway yesterday, unofficial military sources reported that “Britain will continue fighting in Norway with great vigor.” ‘Well-informed quarters described the German claims as “of a fan- tastic character to which the pub- lic fast is becoming accustomed.” These sources also revealed details of the unsuccessful attempts to cap- ture Trondheim. ‘They admitted that “the allies failed to anticipate” Germany’s lightning move into Denmark and Norway and thus were left with a force “which never had been de- signed or intended to iand against opposition forces.” Optimistic Over Narvik. These sources reported that ter- ritorial troops, similar in training and equipment to the United States National Guard, were the “spear- head of our troops in the first land- ings” in Norway and “formed the bridge heads through which more trained and experienced troops ‘would pass.” Military circles, nevertheless, were optimistic about the situation in Narvik, the ore port north of the Arctic Circle where allied troops are beleaguering a German garrison. They cheerfully pointed out that Narvik is “a good long distance” Losses in War at Sea By the Associated Press.

All agree the present tax rate is too high and benefit scales lower than are desirable here, re- sulting in building a huge, frozen reserve fund. As a compromise, the McGehee subcommittee sug- gested modifled increases for la- bor and abandoned, for the time, special formulas for extra tar rate cuts. By DON S. WARREN. Whether any corrective amend- ments to the District’s Unemploy- ment Compensation Act will be pos- sible at this session of Congress—to place even a half-way damper on the admittedly high and mounting benefit reserve fund—may be deter- mined tomorrow at a meeting of the House District Committee, when a compromise plan is scheduled for action. As lines were being drawn for a last-ditch battle over the compli- cated issues involved, the following major developments occurred yes- terday: 1, Chairman McGehee of the Ju- diciary Subcommittee of the House District Committee issued state- ments designed to show that some labor spokesmen had misunderstood the extent of liberalization of the law for the worker, and voicing hope the compromise plan still would be adopted. 2. Support for the compromise plan was registered by the Wash~ ngton Board of Trade and 17 other local business groups, in a state- ment which insisted that the plan would be liberal for the worker as well as the tax-paying employer, much more 30 than labor spokesmen have realized, and more liberal than present law. Eberharter Prepares Bill. 3. Preparation by Representative Eberharter, Democrat, of Pennsyl- vania—whose bill to provide for greater liberalization of the law for the benefit of the worker has been indorsed by spokesmen for the local council of the C. I. O.—of amend- District Committee meeting tomor- ToW. Denials that the compromise plan, which has been reported favorably by the Judiciary Subcommittee, would be less liberal to the worker than the present law were made by both Mr. McGehee and by spokes- men for the 18 Washington business organizations. A mass of statistical data was offered by Mr. McGehee and the trade groups to show that the compromise plan would provide increased rather than decreased benefits to the covered, eligible un- employed. In fact, the Board of Trade state- ment as well as data released by Mr. McGehee showed that whereas a person who has been employed regu- larly over a period as long as nearly five years may become eligible for benefit payments over a period of as much as 26 weeks, under present law, the compromise plan would make it possible for an unemployed worker to draw benefits for a period of 36 consecutive weeks, under con- ditions “less difficult to meet” than under the present law. Representative Dirksen, Republi- can, of Illinois, & minority member of the Judiciary Subcommittee, voiced hope that a satisfactory plan would be adopted at tomorrow’s —_— from the German air bases in South- ern Norway. One unofficial military source, however, reported that the Germans had been able to establish strong battle positions around the port as & result of having materials drop- ped down to them from low-flying bombers, Newspapermen who asked why, if the Germans were able to supply Narvik with food and other mate- raids, they wouldn’t be able to bomb British troops: there, were received with polite military laughter.

In this connection, it was recalled that whereas, under present law, the total of benefit payments last year amounted to less than $1,500,000 pay roll tax collections exceeded $6,700,- 000. The benefit reserve fund, at recent count, had exceeded $17,500,- 000 and is expected to go beyond $20,000,000 by the end of the year without a change in the law. The present pay roll tax rate is 3 per cent, the highest in the country. Under the compromise amend- ment plan, as under other bills, the pay roll tax rate would be reduced to 2.7 per cent, and be limited to the first $3,000 of the salary of any covered employe, in line with the| Federal policy as adopted by the| States. Would Set Benefit Minimum, The compromise bill alsa would | establish a minimum benefit pay-| ment of $6, whereas the present law fixes no minimum; reduce the| “waiting period” from three to two weeks; fix the basic maximum dur- ation of benefits at 18 weeks, as against the basic period of 16 weeks under present law; increase from $15 to $16 the maximum weekly benefit payment, and make eligible an ap- plicant who had earned as little as $125 within a year. Labor spokesmen have protested | emphatically that the compromise | plan would eliminate extra benefit | allowances for recipients who have dependents, but supporters of the new plan insist that the Dystrict is the only jurisdiction which now | grants such extra outlays. 'C. I. O.| spokésmen also have protested that the pending plan would disallow benefit payments for persons on strike or subject to labor lockout, contrary to the provisions of the laws of some States. In a statement to Chairman Randolph of the House District Committee, approval of the com- promise plan was registered by spokesmen for the following Wash- ington business organizations: Board of Trade, Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association, Motion Picture Theater Owners of the Dis- trict, District Bankers’ Association, Washington Restaurant Association, ‘Washington Building Congress, Na- tional Capital Group of Controllers, District Trucking Association, Dis- triet Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Washington Automo- tive Trade Association, Graphic Arts Association, Washington Taxpayers’ Association, Building Owners and Managers’ Association, Washington Real Estate Board. Laundry-Dry Cleaning Owners' Association, Linen Supply Exchange, Master Builders’ Association and the District Dental Society. Approval Urged. In urging approval of the com- promise plan, spokesmen for the 18 Washington business groups de- clared: “This bill is a compromise which meets some of the desires of all concerned and one which can be enacted into law during the short period remaining of this session of Congress. | “Thus bill gives to the District of Columbia taxpayers no more favor- able rate than that now enjoyed by those of 47 States under the amended provisions of the Federal Social Security Act. “Even with this tax reduction and the increase in benefits the District unemployment compensa- tion fund, which néw exceeds $17,- 000,000, will continue unnecessarily to grow at the rate of more than $3,000,000 annually.

That is the time also to give consideration to .d’“i“un. the benefit provisions in this bill. “The proposed legislation offers some*reduction in the present un- necessarily excesstve tax rate, pro- vides for liberalization of benefits to a degree comparable with liberal State laws throughout the country and replaces the present cumber- some administrative provisions for calculating benefits with a formula easier to administer. “The Subcommittee on’ Judiciary of the House Committee on .the District of Columbia has labored complicated subject. We express our deep appreciation to them.” Called “More Liberal.” In reply to some statements made by employe groups that the com- promise plan was “less liberal” than the present law, the Board of Trade issued the following statement: “It has been pointed out that under the present law an unem- ployed worker may draw benefits for a period of 26 weeks. We wish to point out. that such extended benefits are only available to work- ers who have been steadily employed for a period of approximately five years, Crit| of the bill, H. R. 9619, are apparently unfamiliar with the technique of calculating benefits under the plan provided for in that bill. We believe they will be sur- prised to know that under Mr. McGehee's bill it is possible for an unemployed worker to draw bene- fits for a period of 36 consecutive weeks under conditions less diffi- cult to meet than is necessary to draw benefits for 26 weeks under the present law. “While the present law requires almost five years of employment for the maximum 26-week duration, under H. R. 9619, 36 weeks of bene- fits can be drawn with less than two years of steady employment. “Another place where the proposed legislation is more liberal than the present law is in the shortening of the waiting period from three to two weeks. Studies made by the So- cial Security Board and referred to in hearings before the Senate Fi- nance Committee last year, indicate that cutting off this one week from the waiting perfod liberalizes bene- fit payments by approximately 7.6 per cent, Larger Benefits Provided. “The McGehee bill provides for larger payments to those who, under the present law, are in the very low brackets by setting up a $6 mini- mum weekly benefit amount. Ac- cording to the District of Colum- bia Unemployment Compensation Board, approximately 28 per cent of all checks drawn during the year 1939 were for amounts less than $6. The establishment of a $6 miniraum will, therefore, be a definite liberali- zation in all of these cases—amount- ing to more than one-quarter of the number of payments made. “The majority of beneficiaries un- tion law are workers who are irregu- larly employed and who receive benefit checks during each year. There can be no question as to the certainty of increased liberalization for all who are in this class under the terms of H. R. 9619. Under the present law, one who is unemployed each year and draws benefits each year up to the maximum amount payable, cannot, under any circum- stances, draw more than 121 times his weekly benefit.amount. Under the terms of the proposed legisia- tion every worker may draw 18 times his weekly benefit amount, provided his wages during the pre- vious year were three times the In the case of one entitled to draw the | maximum benefit ¢f $16 for a week, | orly $864 earningé would be neces- sary during the entire base period, and that figure becomes progres- | sively smaller as the weekly benent; amount becomes lower. $288 Maximum Payment. “We believe that one clear indi- cation of liberality of any unemploy- ment compensation bill is the total amount of money which an unem- ployed worker can receive during | any benefit year. Under H. R. 9619 a total of $288 may be paid durmgf the benefit year. This amount is exceeded in only six States in the entire United States, and in four | of those employees as well as em- | ployers are taxedl. Eliminating those States in which employes are taxed, namely, California, Rhode Island, Louisiana and Alabama, there are | but two States which provide for a | greater total amount of benefits than does Mr. McGehee's bill. They are Idaho, where payments of $306 will be made and Massachusetts, where $300 is the top figure. “All of the other States and Ter- ritories provide for smaller total benefits than does H. R. 9619. They range in the following order of maximum payments: One State, $270; 1 State, $260; 4 States, $256; 1 State, $252; 24 States, $240; 3 States, $225; 5 States, $210; 4 States, $185; 1 State, $180.” McGehee Offers Analysis.

R. 9610 and the present District law certain facts have been pre- sented in a manner that undoubted- ly will result in wrong impressions regarding the benefits to which the average unemployed worker will be entitled under our present law. “It is true that under the present iaw certain laid-off workers will in time be entitled to 268 weeks of benefits. What was not made clear is that such workers must have been steadily employed for 260 weeks, ap- proximately five years, immediately preceding their unemployment. In other words, when a worker has once drawn that amount of benefits for continuous unemployment, he could not again become eligible for a like number of weeks of benefits until he had again worked steadily for at least five years. “If such unusual examples are to be considered, I call attention to the fact that under my proposed bill (H. R. 9619) a worker can qualify for 36 consecutive weeks of bene- fits for total unemployment and these would be based on the two, instead of five, years of his preced- ing employment.” . Tables Presented. Added to this MiGehee statement were two tables, one to show the minimum employment necessary each year to obtain the maximum number of weeks of benefits year by year under the present law, as com- pared with the compromise bill, and the second to show the minimum | employment each year which is necessary to obtain the maximum amount of benefits each and every year payable under present law and under H. R. 9619. In the first case, the table showed, & person having earned $15 a week who was single could receive a maxi- mum of $74 a year if single, or $93 | it married, or $104.83 if having one child, or $111 if having two children, i or $123.34 if having three children, all under present law, whereas under the compromise plan the amount would be $144. In the second case, the table showed, & person having had a weekly wage of $15, would receive a maximum of $58 if single, or $7250 if married, or $82.17 if having one child, or $87 if having two children, or $96.17 if having three children, all under present law; whereas under th compromise plan the amount would be $144.

Machine guns and automatic rifles placed strategically to sweep the flelds of wire were said by mili- tary observers to have thrown the Nazis into confusion, forcing their retreat. Strong Posts Erected. This section of the front, where the valleys of the Blies and Saar Rivers join, is ane of the most diffi- cult countrysides on the western front for ground operations. Far m front of the Maginot Line the French have etected strong advance post positions, taking advantage of the thickly wooded slopes and rock- strewn valleys, The German attack, launched be- fore dawn this morning is under- stood to have covered the whole valley area situated almost in the exact center of the northern hinge of the western front, where it bends | west from the Rhine and runs to the Luxembourg frontier. ‘The sparsely worded high com- mand communique referred to the action as a “quiet important sur- prise attack,” indicating it was con- siderably larger than the recent ranging from $15 up to $60 a week.‘ Mr. McGehee also released nine | other tables, outlined in more de- tailed fashion, to show that the| proposed plan was more liberal than | conditions under the present law. | Board of Trade Analysis.

However, military observers warned against attaching undue im- portance either to the cannonading or to the surprise Nazi foray. The artillery fire, apparently heaviest in the Bllex Valley just east of the sector where the Ger- mans attacked, covered the area facther to the east between the Ehes and Vosges Mountains as well as the Moselle Valley, some 50 miles to the west.
