COMMUNISM IN' CHURCH DENIED AT LIBEL TRIAL Pastor Takes Stand in Own Defense; Link D. A. R. Blacklist. Bn United Press MORRISTOWN, N. J., Oct. 9. Just what constitutes “playing the Communist game” is a question before the jury in the Baldwin-Bridge $5,000 libei suit involving the blacklist policy of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The trial is in its second dty after sessions lasting almost to midnight. The Rev. William H. Bridge, Boonton, N. J., pastor sued by Mrs. Helen Brumley Baldwin of the Baldwin of the Boonton D. A. R., for describing as “lying imputations her statement that certain personages were “playing the Communist game,” was one of Monday nights final witnesses. He traced the dispute, repeating that Mrs. Baldwin had no right to impute communism to Mrs. Lucia Ames Head, Boston pacifist, whom he had engaged to speak at his church. He denied he was a Communist. Mead, who followed him on the stand, also said she “loathes and abhors” Communist doctrines. John Haynes Holmes, New York pastor, and Professor Robert Morse Lovett of the University of Chicago, listed by Mrs. Baldwin as also “playing the Communist game,” testified for the defense. Holmes said he favored Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for President, but denied he was a Communist. He said a person interested in Socialism is “by definition excluded” from Communism, and Lovett entered a similar denial. Denies D. C. R. Link Mrs. Baldwin was questioned by Bridge’s attorney, Arthur Garfield Hayes, counsel for the American Civil Liberties Uunion. She said that all the persons she attacked, in a letter to the Boonton Times, had been branded “either Communists or playing the Communist game” by Capt. G. L. Darte of the military order of the World War. Mrs. Baldwin said she never had see a nD. A. R. blacklist, and that her effort to block Mrs. Mead’s appearance in Bridge’s church was not part of the National D. A. R. drive against “radicals.”

ITALY SUPPORTS U. S. IN ANSWER ON NAVAL PACT Reconsideration on Kellogg Basis Looms; Await Tokio Note. Bit United Press LONDON, Oct. 9.—A general reconsideration of the disarmament problem, probably along lines suggested by Frank B. Kellogg, American Secretary of State, seemed probable today. Italy’s reply to the Franco-British naval agreement, in which she supported substantially the United States thesis on naval armament, made anew shuffle of the cards apparently inevitable. The United States reply, In which that nation emphatically rejected the British-French plan, already had been received, and the Japanese reply is en route. When the replies all have been considered, the Government may issue the complete te text of the naval accord and the correspondence thereon in the form of a “white paper.” The cabinet meets Wednesday and the subject probably will be

discussed, although it seemed doubtful whether any action would be taken before parliament reconvenes. The main points of the Italian note had been expected in advance here and did not cause great suiv prise. Italy declared herself in favor of a limitation of total naval tonnage, instead of limitation by classes. The United tSates favors the total tonnage idea, because it would permit that country to have the longrange large cruisers that she needs. Britain and France had agreed to limit large cruisers and place no limitation on small cruisers and submarines, an unlimited number of which would be to the great advantage of both countries. LAUDS SLACK ECONOMY William Fortune, Chamber of Commerce civic chairman, has written to Mayor L. Ert Slack commending the administration’s preparation of the 1929 budget. Fortune urged the mayor to carry out the suggested improvements the comping year. “It is gratifying to know that you have sought for every possible economy, reducing appropriations to the minimum of necessity. While an increased tax rate is necessary for 1929, the taxpayers more cheerfully can pay the increase knowing that it is necessary to make up for delinquencies of past budget makers, and that all they pay in civil city taxes should be more wisely expended than in the past,” Fortune said.

CRUISING —the ideal form of travel CRUISING makes possible visits to places that ordinarily are inaccessible. It relieves the mind of most of the worries and inconveniences of independent travel. Ships chartered for cruises are usually much better than those which make the regular runs to the same ports. From the moment you go on board, the steamer is your hftme for the entire trip; you can put your clothes away in the stateroom and send your empty trunks to the baggage room. There is no continual packing and unpacking on a cruise—just a few articles required for the excursions on shore. There are no hotel or train reservations for you to worry about. Everything has been attended to. You will avoid the discomforts of traveling on small local steamers to say nothing of the delays frequently experienced as a result of their uncertain departures. Arrangements for sightseeing are ideal and you are not at the mercy of unscrupulous drivers and guides. Furthermore, you see all that is worth seeing and waste no time on unimportant places.
