PAPACY SCORED BY BROADSIDE OF RUSS PAPER Lurid Accounts of Terrors of Inquisition Detailed in Denunciation. BY EUGENE LYONS CniVrd Press Staff Correspondent MOSCOW, Feb. 28.—The worldwide ‘'crusade” against Russia’s ‘ godiessness” brought its first biting return fire today from “the Godless'' itself —widely circulated propagandist magazine of Soviet atheists. Many pages were devoted to a ferocious attack upon the papacy, under the signature of Emilian Yaroslavsky, head of the Society of the Godless and generalissimo of Russia’s anti-religious forces. Lurid historical accounts of the terrors of the inquisition, political intrigues, and the misdeeds of medieval heads of the Catholic church were included in Yaroslavsky’s broadside. Blamed for Crimes The papacy, Yaroslavsky declared, represented “a shameful page in history” and was responsible for centuries of crimes against humanity. It was significant, however, that the leader of the “godless” urged his followers to avoid coercion and limit themselves to 'agitation and propaganda ” A list of fifty-eight churches and two synagogues recently closed in various parts of Russia was published today, side by side with Yaroslavsky's attack on the papacy. Violence Denied The use of violence and persecution as a method of combating religion was denied today by Peter Smldovich, vice-president of the Soviet union and head of the church committee of the central executive committee. Smidovich, who is the final authority in matters concerning the church, admitted that “hotheads in local instances have exceeded legal bounds and employed violence against believers.” “But here in Moscow,” he said, “are leaders with cooler heads, who know the lessons of history and are aware that force would hinder | rather than help the suppression of ! religion. “We always curb excesses and punish hotheads. But we believe that with the growth of culture, religion will die a natural death.” FRATERNITY INITIATES 1 Pharmacy School Holds Installation of National Order Chapter.

PARK POSITIONS AWARD SYSTEM HIT BY EXPERT Party Workers, Job Hunters Hear Denunciation of Spoils Plan. Some blushed, some smiled, others grimaced as a roomful of Democratic ward chairmen, party workers and job hunters heard an eminent playground expert, before the park board, denounce the system of awarding park positions “to those who have drawn the ox cart in elections.”

Dr. C. F. Stimson, district representative of the Playground and Recreation Association of America, might have felt some slight embarrassment himself Thursday had he been aware of his listeners’ identity and ambitions. “These park and recreations jobs are highly specialized and require technical knowledge,” Dr. Stimson said firmly. “I know it is a great temptation for the ward chairman to come in and say we want such and such a position.” Two Take Notice A couple of ward chairmen tilted back in their chairs, cleared their throats and stole glances at each other. ‘There is but one answer to such requests for the mayor and his advisers,” Dr. Stimson went on bravely. “That is, that any changes to be made will be on the basis of the knowledge and ability of those seeking the places. If they’re Democrats, well and good. “If the appointees do good work they’ll be a credit to the department and the administration. Any other kind of politics is fatal and bad because it does not give efficient service. Unless there is power to command the full services of every employe, there will be no discipline.” Urges Competition Dr. Stimson recommended an examination system as a means of “unloading” party workers who brought political pressure to bear on certain jobs. His hearers fidgeted; then appeared relieved —the lecture was at an end. “Thanks for your remarks,” Adolph G. Emhardt, park board president, said as deliberations were resumed. But politicians and Job-seekers held their seats as Dr. Stimson made his departure.

Mrs. Marie Vriesenga, 2002 Lexington Ave., New York, New York. “My work is keeping a rooming house in New York. I was weak and tired and didn’t seem to feel well at all. Some friends told me about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and I took it four times a day. It has helped me very much. I feel better in all ways now." Ask Your Friends Mrs. Paulina Pascuzzi, 316 Treraont Ave., East Orange, New Jersey “I never had any appetite and I could not sleep well, and I was irregular and often suffered from headaches because of my age. I read a booklet left at my door, and so I took eight bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and I have also taken the Herb Medicine. I feel stronger in every way now. I have gained weight and am not neatly so nervous and can do my housework without getting too tired." Edna Sluraff, 1129 Daly St., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania “I was completely rundown from nursing. I took four bottles of your medicine with very good results. I have been a nurse for twenty years without losing a patient, I am proud to say. I will continue to recommend any of the Lydia E. Pinkham products at any time and you may use my name.” Endorsed by Half a Million Women

SOLONS TO SCAN RAIL MERGER Opposition to Consolidation Is Voiced by Unions. Bn Scripps-Haward Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—Opposition to the proposed merger of the Great Northern and Northern Pa- 1 cific systems already has assumed j such proportions that an examina- j tion of the entire project by con- , gress seems assured. Joining forces with railway craft unions, which declare train employes will suffer tremendous losses through consolidation of division points, community interests along the 1,500-mile route are laying plans to oppose the consolidation. Senator Dill of Washington has served notice he will sponsor such a bill in the senate as soon as the tariff j is out of the way. He had obtained ! assurances of support from other | senators from the northwest. Thousands of railroad workers who have Invested life savings in homes across four states would be transferred to the prospective con- i solidation division points, at tre- j mendous personal loss, representa- i fives of the operating crafts declare. ! It is questionable, they claim, if j these losses would not more than j equal the operating economies ex- l pected from consolidation.
