MAI.LON Lotted Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Oct. 14.—Friends of President Hoover moted today to refute the allegation by the Rev John J. Burke, general secretary of the National Catholic Welfare Conference. that President Hoover had violated “the spirit if not the letter of his oath of office’’ In a retent letter to the Lutherans of America. They made public a private telejgram which President Hoover sent to George Cardinal Mundelein Catholic bishop of Chicago, on Sept. 0, 4, expressing cordial greetings to the National Eucharistic Conference. Burke, in his statement, said the president's message to the Lutherans was “an insult to many millions of American citizens,” and iMr. Hoover’s friends were moved because of the implication that the ■Chief executive had ejeviated from the people of the religfous tolerance. Burke objected particularly to the president singling out the Lutherans and congratulating them on “the Changes it introduced from older conception of religion and government” and also declared the President "was historically inaccurate” in Ibis statement.

Publishes Message to Catholics The telegram to Cardinal Mundelein, which was read to about 40,000 persons assembled at the Eucharistic conference at Omaha, was made public by friends of the President to prove that he had not singled out the Lutherans and is guided by religious tolerance. The message to Cardinal Mundelein follows: I will be obliged if you will express my cordial greetings to the meeting this evening of the national Eucharistic congress at which J am informed you will preside and my appreciation of the value of spiritual ideals and of religious observance in the life of the nation which are indispensable foundations of the social order and of enduring political institutions.” Following Burke’s statement Monday night, George Akerson, secretary to Mr. Hoover, issued a statement saying the implication of Burke, “is an injustice both to the President’s own sentiments and the con plete religious tolerance he has alwiys felt and has always advocated both publicly and privately.” Hoover Remains Silent Neither the message to the Lutherans nor to Cardinal Mundelein Was made public at the White Hoi se. With the publication of the Mundelein telegram the White House now intends to let the matter rest. Mr. Hoover personally had no comment to make, it was said. Toe Akerson reply was made public .i few hours after the National Catiiolic Welfare Council quoted Fat ler Burke in part as follows: 'I S does matter very much to the wheie constitutional structure of our country, and its institutions, that the President of all the people. who is called by virtue of his office to respect the religious rights |bf all, congratulates one particular religious body on the changes it introduced from older conceptions of religion and government, and defclares that we as a nation should commemorate the Protestant persons and the events from which ♦these mighty forces shaping our Country have sprung.’” Congratulated Lutherans

• The letter of the President stated: • I send cordial greetings to the Americans of Lutheran faith who re celebrating on Oct. 31 the anniversary of the Protestant Reformation and the four hundredth anniversary of the reading of the Augsburg confession, from which date so tnany of the changes in point of view from older conceptions both fcf religion and government. “The effects of these historical fevents are reflected in our national life and institutions, in religion through the predominant numbers of adherents to Protestant faiths and in government through the principle of separation of church and state. It is fitting that we should commemorate the persons and events from which these mighty forces have sprung.” Man Dies at 98 ANDERSON, Ind..

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

LOAN LAWS ARE MADE TARGET Obsolete and Need Revision, Says Bank Expert. Indiana law's governing building and loan associations are obsolete and should be remedied by the 1931 legislature, Thomas D. Barr, assistant state banking commissioner, told members of the Indiana Building and Loan League in convention today at the Lincoln. Among changes he urged was the requiring notice of withdrawal by depositors and the abandonment of a definite interest rate. Barr would have the Interest rate reflect the money rate prevailing when the loan is made. “The remedy for this condition is through the men whom you elect to the general assembly,” Barr advised. “Get your men pledged and hog-tied before the election. He urged particular caution against over-extension at this time since “we have passed through the years of plenty and now are going through the years of famine.”

LESLIE LIKELY TO IGNORE HIGH COURT RULING Probation Commission Is Ordered in Law Handed Down. Indiana may have a probation commission, which will appoint a state probation officer to function as a department head at the statehouse, as the result of a supreme court decision which has made laws of bills handed down on the Saturday before the 1929 legislature closed, without the Governor’s signature. The decision, made by the court Monday, involved the creation of two superior courts instead of one by separation of the joint jurisdiction of Grant and Delaware counties. It sets out that Sunday must be counted as one of the two closing days of the legislature. Bills handed down on the last two days may be rejected by the Governor without signature. But the court ruled that bills handed down on Saturday, March 9, were unaffected by the two-day limitation, since the legislature adjourned March 11. Therefore they must be signed or vetoed by the Governor within five days after the closing of the session, and could not be “pocket vetoed” under the two-day rule. Become Law Automatically Not having been signed, they become law automatically, the court ruled. In addition to the superior court and probation department bills a third is affected similarly. This would separate Jasper and Newton counties into two judicial districts. Governor Harry G. Leslie, who had been of the opinion that he had pocket-vetoed these bills, may be faced with the task of appointing two judges and four members of a bipartisan probation commission. The Governor’s office, however, announced today that candidates for these new judgeships may be appointed by county chairmen and get on the ballot for the election.

Would Abolish System Creation of a state probation commission and department would abolish the present system of a state probation officer appointed by the Governor. That post is now' held by Mrs. Florence R. Boys, W'ho functions from her home at Plymouth, Ind., and receives a salary of $3,000 a year. The bill creating the commission and department was introduced into the senate by State Senator C. Oliver Holmes (Rep., Gary) and was backed by the state board of charities. Charles Kettleborough. chief of the legislative reference bureau, declared today that the court ruling would make all bills passed on the Saturday before closing valid, if not. vetoed, back to the time the present Indiana consitution was adopted in 1851. That Governor Leslie will not regard the probation and Jasper-New-ton bills as having become law's was indicated today when L. O. Chasey, the Governor’s secretary, said the bills never came to the Governor, but rested in the attorney general’s office after passage. Suits might be inaugurated to make them effective, it was believed.
