~ CHURCH ONTY 15 CERTAIN T0 COME , This Is Opinion Set Forth by Bisbop Manning New York, Jan. 18 (P—Bishop William T. Manning, of the Protest- ant Eplscopal church, believes the movement for the reunion of Chris- tendom cannot be stopped despite the recent Papal encyclical opposing the movement. “No-utterance can or will stop or retard that great moyement,” he said addressing the Church Wom. en's league for patriotic service at the home of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, “I don't think anyone seriously wants to step it. It ia going on and Chris. tians all over the world, Catholic and Protestant, are drawing nearer to each other.” In the encyclical issued January 10 Pope Plus XI made it plain that Protestants, Greek Orthodox bgliev. ers and all others dissenting from the eriginal Catholc church must return to Rome if they really wish & unien ef all Christians. Referring to the world's confer- ence on faith and order held last August at Lausanne, Switzerland, in which the Protéstant Episcopal church was called the “Bridge Church” Bishop-Manning continued: “Our own church and the Angli- can communion throughout the world will continue to play a large part in that movement, because in the providence of God the Anglican church includes in itself those things which are true and essential for which Protestantism stands. It was for this reason our German brethren at Lausanne applied to the Anglican church the name ‘Bridge Church’ because they recognized the fact that we stand in & unique relation with the Cathelic world on the one hand and the Protestant world on the other.” F JOHND. HAS FOUND HEX 10 HAPPINESS Enjoys Trying to Make World Better Place for Living (Copyright 1938, by United Press) Ormond Beach, Fla., Jan. 18 (UP) —John D. Rockefeller, father of big business, has found the secret of happiness, Whatever he once was in the use and accumulation of his wealth, he is now benign, gentle, courteous, proachabls by anyone, the wol first and greatest captain of indu: try seems to have no thought but to make the world a happier place ‘to live in.. . Here, in 1dyllically beautiful sur- roundings, “John D.” spends roughly one-fourth of his life. He is here now, for the winter months. Life Is Simple His lite is one of complete sim- plicity and peace—a sort of sunny late afternoon to his eventful carcer rather than the twilight usually asso- clated with years so advanced as his, for he is approaching §9. Six holes of golf a day, all his doctoy will allow him: a visit on Sunday mornings to the little Union church across the broad Halifax rivér that his home faces; am arm- chair at the Bunday evening concert at the hetel, a chat with one of the C s who visit him from various of the country; a little read- ing; a little tinkering with his radio. That s a bald and perhaps not too incomplete outline of hLis pro- gram. It might be that of any man of his years who retained, or who had found, the joy of life. But it is in the way that Rockefeller leads his life that its own apparent idyllic beauty is revealed. As much as any man can, he seems to love and to be loved by people here. Twenty yvears ago he was the octupus; the busincss jug- gernaut, the ruthlesse monopolist whe crushed those that did not ‘move aside for him. Cartoonists made their livings by portraying him in unfavorable aspect. Politicians sought office by denouncing him and his 8tandard Oil, his one man com- pany that almost ended one-man companies as a factor in industry. Rockefeller may have enemies in the world today, implacable foes of days, whom he has not outlived. But not here. In Ormond, “John D." is loved. Those who look at him as he passes by, those who serve him, those who meet him on equal plane, those who come giggling to sce a curiosity, have nothing but good fo ray of this once much-hated, and easily hateable man. Is Old, Old Man He 18 really just an old, old man. But there is nothing of crabbed age about him. Where others have laughed through life to pessimistic senility, Rockefeller seems only to have reached the full bloom of life since his retirement from business. He has been coming here for 12 years, and people who have known him all that time say he has not aged a day. This year, they insist, he is leoking younger. Rockefeller's shoulder are stooped now. His long, prehensile arms drop forward. His hair is dead white. His face is scamed with countless tiny wrinkles. But his skin is tanned and clear. His hand is steady. His voice is firm. His hearing ems acute. His sight scems keen. And he secems as happy as a man could we—just in liking people and being liked. In selecting Ormond Beach as one of his yearly ports of call, “John D.” seems to have shown the acu- men that placed him at the head of the Mst of great industrialists. is a tourist town that tourists hav not spotled. Just now, as the sex- son & opening. hoom. The boom is exemplified by a row of concref back of Rockefcller's modest home, along the sircet on which the north side of the Rockefeller honie abuts. flonse Faces West The house itseif faces west, & few 1t it looks a town of | the old south that has had a minor | yards from the east bank of the broad, quietly Sowing river, in smsll tree-filled grounds like those of wall-to-do citisen of any country town. It is aptly named “The Case- ments"—a house of many windows, winking in the sun as do old “Joha D.'s" bright, merry eyes. He keeps a small staff of servants there under the superintendence of & housekeoper; a doctor and a secre- tary.\- Usually also there is ene of his old friends, a periodical visitor. Just now the guest has been Father Patrick Lennon, of 8t Cecllia’s church, New York. On Sunday, while Rockefeller pre- pared for attendance at his Unlon Presbyterian church, Father Lennon went off to celebrate mass, “John D/s” car moved off at the customary moment of 10:50 for the half-mile drive across the low white wooden drawbridge that spams the Halifax. The church is in sight of “The Casements,” though itself, on the north side of the dge, as “The Caserents” is south, surround- ed with trees as it stands a few yarde back of the west bank. © Mr. Fannle A. Evans, the house- keeper, and N. W, Davia, the secre- tary, accompanied Rockefeller. The car halted before the little gabled frame church, “John D.” went in, exchanging greetings with fellow- worshippers en route, and took his place in his pew, in the second row. He listened attentively, following the service throughout. His face was saddened that day because he had just learned of the death of Dr. Leopard Woelfking, for 14 years pastor of his New York church. There was no particular incident of interest that day. The hornrim- spectacled young pastor, Dr. Guy Stanton Boyer, preached his sermon —on the need of vision; vislon of the sick and poor, and of their needs; and of the necemsity for fol- lowing up vision by action. Once there was a time when such a sermon in “John D's" hearing would have cause a newspaper sensation as aimed at him. The pastor made reference to Dr. Woelfking. The service ended, and Rockefeller after siying goodbye to those who sur- | rounded him went out and home for the day. Greets Strangers Seme Bundays Rockefeller finds strangers at the church, and he al- | ways goes to greet them. Sometimes, he goes around taking hymnals to late arrivals; recognize them welcomes them to the church. That is the end of his Sunday, un- less, as usually in the season, he goes over to the yellow, green shut- tered, palm enclosed Ormond hotel across the road beside “The Case- menta” to hear an evening concert. 8ix chairs are reserved for him and his friends there, and he sita quietly along a wall in the central lobby, his chin in his hand, listening to the music and seemingly looking back in his mind's eye over other years, so may and so full.

The announcement was made upon the return of airplane patrols from the region where the marines are massing for & drive against the rebel general, Augustine Sandino, A combat patrol also reported there was no evidence in the Quilall district of rebel activity. It was be. lieved that Sandino's forees have re- tired to El Chipete, which he made his headquasters after the marines took Quilali. A company of marines went to Matagalpa to strengthen the gar- rison there. The explosien of twe bombs {is thought to have warmed Sandipe’s followers to leave Jinotega Sunday. It was reported that Sandino left El Chipota stating he would go to Jin. otega and that his arrival would be announced by the explosion of two bombs. The explosion took place as forecast. When 8andino did not appear it was belloved that this was a warning to his cohorts. With the arrival of Major General John A. Lejeune, commander of the marines, and Brigadier General Lo- #an Feland, and with United States ship dally disembarking marines and supplies, alrplanes and ammunition at Corinto, Nicaragus is assuming the military appearance which it had last February when more than 4,000 bluejackets and marines occupied all the important ecities of Nicaragua and guarded the pational railway. Last year General Moncada was leader of the rebellious liberal forces and at the head of 3,000 well- armed soldiers, and was making his way slowly in the interior, his ob- ! jective being Managua. Moncada laid down his arms at the request of Henry L. Stimson, the representative of President Coolldge. and a pact |was signed whereby the United | States was granted supervision over the 1928 presidential election. Today Sandino, - former liberal general under Moncada, has assum- led the leadership of a small, but strong group of men in the almost inaccessible region of Nueva Se- govia. His risistance to the United States has brought many maleon- tents and adventurers to his ranch. American officlals had belleved | that when Moncada gurrendered, the country would at once return to normalcy. Such was the case where marines were located, but the great- er part of the area of Nicaragua is made up pf unexplored tropical jungles, forest and mountains, and it is impossible to patrol and garrison all sections unless thousands of marines are utilized. A small national guard has been organized and trained, but shertage of funds has not permitted the gov- ernment to increase the force as de- sired. Fallure to quell Sandino, whose strength {8 unknown, has caused general uneasiness throughout the country. Small groups of outlaws roam in certain districts at will, committing depredations of afl kinds. | Crimes have increased. When your State’s M. Alcorn, prosecutes a man accu: of murder, driving evidence which will convict him of will be driven out or defeated be- fore the elections can be hld. Also, Sandino's preence in Nicaragus is causing oconsiderable unrest ameng Nicaraguans, as they fear the revolt may spread. SUE FOR SEVEN MILLION Manville Employes Bring Action Against Former President De- manding Stock. New York, Jan. 18 UM—Thirty- seven present or former employes, among them several who rose from oftice boys and clerks, have brought suit for approximately $7,000,000 against H. E. Manville, former presi. dent of the Johns-Manville corper- ation. The plaintiffs seek to regain own- ership of 40,000 shares of stock, be- queathed them under the will of Thomas F. Mauville who dled Octo- ber 19, 1925, They claim, according to papers in the action, that H. E. Manville induced them to sell the | dig into its treasury for 916,024 yen, | stock to him at $150 a share, the market value at the time, on & plea that he needed the stock to exercise & controlling interest and prevent banking interests from acquiring control of the company. The employes state that almost immediately after securing control of their stock a cash dividend of $18 & share was declared, which accryed very largely to the benefit of H. E. Manville, who subsequently brought about a reorganization of the com- pany and sold a controlling interest | in the comcern to a group of buk-i ers. It is alleged by the plaintifts that | the stock sold by them to Manville | for $150 a share now has an equiva- lent market value of $5600 a share. | Former United States Attorney | Emory R. Buckner, counsel for the | plaintiffs, stated that the Johna-Man- ville company is in no way invelved | in the litigation since the suit is purely a personal one against H. E. | Mansville; Nathaniel 8.

There is no law about the allow- ance but the custom is so ancient no employer would think of violating it. | The Yawata Iron Foundry decid- | ed, owing to continued business de- | pression, to drop 700 workers from | ita payroll. The company had to (over $400,000) to pay the 700 men before they could be separated from the payroll. Attorney, Hugh home the telling the crime, and in insisting that the Jjury return a verdict of murder in the first degree, the writer has wondered if you have ever been confronted by or forced to consider the mental quirk in the mind of the accused which might have served as justification far and to have prompted the deed—such for instance as is presented in “The Noose,” starring Richard Bar- thelmess as_the boy who refused to divulge the reason he killed. Is there such a thing as extenuating circum- stances that might possibly temper his insistence of the extreme penalty? “The Noose” may be able to answer the question for both of us. Signed, BERT B. PERKINS, FOR SECOND TEAN Yankees May Be Forced to Re- Yive Gompetition in Loagne BY ALAN J. GOULD (Amociated Press Sports Editor.)
