Tinkham was refused permission to place his statement in the record. The Massachusetts representative, bearded and picturesque, spoke in a low, quiet tone as he said that his principal objection to the organiza- tions referred to in his statement was they had violated the principle of separation of church and state, Reads From Publication He read extracts from a publica- tion of the board, in support of his charges pointed out that the board had its headquarters near the capi- tol and reiterated that the board| was engaging in constant efforts to influence the action of congressmen. At the outset of the hearing, Tinkham offered a statement urging that the committee investigate the activities of the board and council. This was not allowed to go into th» record but there was no objection as the witness read from it while he was on the stand. He named as a paid scrvant and agent of the board, its secretary, Dr. Clarence True Wilson and said his duties included appearances before committees, soliciting departments of ‘governments and communicating with members of congress. He also mentioned a specech by Wilson at Melrose, Mass., on April 12, 1929, in connection with accusations that the board attempted public attacks to coerce and vilify judges. Church Activity Condemned “l object to a religious organiza- tion supporting or opposing ap- pointments,” Tinkham asscrted. * don’t think a church has any busi-| ness in politics.” Do you object to individuals fal- ing this action?” asked Caraway. Not as individuals,” Tinkham re- plied, “but as organizations. Chairman Caraway of the com- mittee announced after Tinkham had concluded that the board and council would be given an opportu- nity to reply to the charges by Tinkham. . Text of Statement The statement given to newspa- permen said: “I believe that this committee can render no greater public serv- ice than to do its part towards a| public exposure of the practices of | these organizations, in violation of the principle of the separation of church and state, so that their church constituencies, as well as the | public at large, may be informed | and so condemn such practices.” ® He said the Methodist board *for some years has attempted to influ- ence and direct the legislative and exccutive branches of the federal | government and to influence, and| interfere with judicial appointments | i | te. The history to be inscribed in letters that may be seen for miles on the rocks of the Black Hills in South Dakota continued: “In 1787, assembled in convention they made a character of perpetual union of free people of sovereign states, cs- tablishing a government of limited powers — under an independent president — congress and court charged to provide security for all citizens in their enjoyment of liberty —ecquality and. justice. Only the first two portions of the Coolidge history were made public by Borglum and the delegation, after a visit to President Hoover at the White Iouse. The hislory is a part of a gigantic memorial to be carved under the direction of Borglum upon the solid rock of Mount Rushmore in Dakota hills. [The delegation invited the presi- dent to attend the dedication of the first part of the memorial in July. The chief executive took the invita- tion under consideration. The seven inscriptions to be pre- pared by Mr. Coolidge deal with the following stages of American his- tory: The Declaration of Inde- pendence; the framing of the fed- eral government; the expansion of territorial dominion westward, the Louisiana purchase; the admission of the republic of Texas; the admis- sion of California; the settlement of the boundary question, with Eng- land, of Oregon; and the cutting of the Panama Canal. The first figure to be carved on the Black Hills granite is that of ‘Washington. Other busts include those of Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt. the SUBPOENA RECORDS OF REFORM GROUP Association Against Prohibition to Be Probed by Gommittes OFFICIALS DENY REFUSAL House Judiciary Committee Mean- while Fails to Come to Decision on Hoover Law Enforcement Liquor Law, Changes.
