FASCIST GOVT. 1S BEING CRITICIZED Presbyterians Claim It Opposes Protestant Missions el O ¢ 3 — Washington, May 27 (A — The E \( fascist government of Italy was ac- | \ cused of supporting Roman Catho- | lc propaganda against Protestant | i - - = o . Ttallan missions in America and the Ku Klux Klan was criticised for —— its opposition to foreigners in a re- 9 port prepared for submission today to the assembly of the United Presbyterian church by its board of home missions. ' Italians living in the United States, the report averred, in ac- | cepting Protestantism, face the | danger of being called traitors and the confiscaMon of property in | their native land. Alleged Catholic propaganda against Italian Protes- | tant missions here, the report add- ed, s “directly” supported by ‘the fascist government. | The Klan's opposition to for- eigners was held in the report to be a hindrance to the board of | mission’s work among immigrants. “Prohibition is looked ,upon as a Protestant measure and used by its enemies to turn natives against Protestantism,” &aid the report. ‘While the Ku Kiux Klan is not | intentionally opposed to the Pro- testant mission work, yet by its op- position to foreigners and its Pro- testant tenden it turns immi- grants against Protestant mis- sions.” The report also emphasized the necessity of education of negroes toward leadership within their own and declared that “the mar- progress of the negro in three score years, coming out of handicapped by ignorance, stition and destitution, is ac- | counted for only by what the | church did in offering Christian cducation so generously to the | whole race.” | The report said the general policy for the negro race should be edu- cational rather than evangelistic, and added that the growing facilities for negro education in southern | states pointed the church’'s duty to provide Christian training. Work among the Mormons during | the last year was described by | Secretary Nutting, of the Utah Gos- | pel mission, as having been esp. cially difficult.because of the short- age of YWorkers. Mormon missions | were reported to be only practicable in the open air because Mormons “studiously boycott the established Christian church or school,” being | “deterred from attending mainly by TRADE MARKREGISTERED, evil teachings and current slander of the Christian ministers and church.” DRIVERS' LIGENSES somall The Damtiest Summer Dresses LT YOUTHFU! ---COLORFUL---EXCLUSIVE IN DESIGN hicle operators see to It that they have thelr licenses on their persons a check-up made by the state motor vehicle department with respect to 40,147 operators who reported acci- dents during the past year. Ot that number, 39,485, or more | than 98 per cent, were found to be carrying operator's licenses. Only | 268 proved unable to produce their | ficenses after the accident. Nine of them had neither operator’s licenses | or registration certificates for the ! cars they were driving. The 259 oth- | crs while without their operator's licenses were able to produce regi ftration certificates. Twenty-six op- erators had their operator's licenses but no registration certificates. In- sufficient data for a classification was fu cd the department in the cases of 368 operators. The importance of carrying both certificates {s emphasized by the mo- tor vehicle department. In some mu- | nicipalities of the state, the police | make it a point to find out, every| now and then, whether every oper- | ator has a license by stopping every | car that passes a given point. After | An accident, any one has the right | to demand to see the license of an | operator who has been Involved. | Tnability of an operator to show | a registration certificate frequently | leads to prompt arrest under sus- | picion of having stolen the car. The | state law raquires that the reglstra- | tlon certificate be carried in the car which it describes, when operated | on the highways, except in the case of cars of dealers, manufacturers and repalrers. It is one of the laws designed to make it mors difficult | for people who are in possession of | stolen cars to operate them and has | led to the apprehension of many au- | tomobile thieves in the state. | It is also fmportant to notify the | department of any change in the ap- pearance of the od, o |8 that the description n the registration ce Had 5,000 Pounds Excess On Board Auto Truck k Palmer, aged 27, of 24 ‘indsor ave Hagt rested this forenoon Policeman W. 8 charge of overloadin truck.
