By United Press NEW YORK, May 29.—Denying the United States tariff had "slammed the door" on foreign trade in a vigorous defense of the American tariff, Dr. Julius Klein, assistant secretary of commerce, Thursday night advocated an export planning body in major industries to co-ordinate America’s effort in winning overseas trade. Branding those who favored retirement from the foreign field in favor of hard-pressed rivals as worthy of the decoration of "the grand order of the yellow streak," Klein told members of the Export Managers’ Club of New York at a dinner held in connection with the convention of the national foreign trade council, that even the most ardent partisans could not prove that the United States’ trade decline was directly attributable to the Hawley-Smoot tariff.

New Camera Identifies Ballets Used in Crimes

o use that microscopic camera, in

Dr. Richard Millar, Police Ballistics Experts Are Employing Lens. A camera that shoots pictures of bullets from the guns of killers and points an accusing finger at the gun the killer used, is in operation for the first time in the world here i|i Indianapolis. And the man, who is teaching the Indianapolis police department how to use that microscopic camera, in the workaday world helps save humanity from death. He is Dr. Richard Millar of the Methodist hospital, director of the institutions’ photographic laboratory. Dr. Millar has manufactured cameras that photograph the stomach, the ear, the eye, but with this latest invention of the Spencer Lens Company, Buffalo, N. Y., he has broadened his field into the art of hunting criminals. Loaned for Experiments The camera, capable of magnifying an object between twenty-two to one hundred times its size, was loaned to Dr. Millar and Arch Eall, police ballistic expert, for experimentation in actual police work. The camera was used in the Brown county murder mystery at the Brown farm home near Nashville for examining shells from guns found near the scene of the double murder.

"In addition to its work of photographing bullets and shells, it can be used for making pictures of documents, handwriting, fingerprints and bloody fabrics found at the scene of a crime,” Dr. Millar said. Fitted With Holders The microscopic camera is fitted with holders for bullets and shells. “You see,” Dr. Millar explained, "one shell found at the scene of a crime can be fixed in this holder and another shell fired from the gun of a suspect can be placed in this holder and the two shells photographed at the same time for a picture of comparison. The picture will show whether the shells were fired from the same gun.” Millar and Ball have photographed four shells in a recent Indiana crime and have proved through pictures in their possession that the shell which caused death was not the one found in the gun of a man who is believed to have committed suicide.

Pin Markings Plain Markings where the firing pin struck the cartridge show readily in the camera’s photographs. Millar’s interest in the camera of detection goes further than that of a scientific man for he has had schooling in the fire school of the British army. In turn, Ball’s work in ballistics and testimony in numerous court and coroner’s cases has made him recognized as an authority on firearms and their use in crime. He is an expert marksman. The camera is housed in Dr. Millar’s laboratory on the roof of the Methodist hospital. The laboratory is one of the finest in hospitals of the nation. A developing room enables Dr. Millar to make negatives the size of a postage stamp and enlarge pictures hundreds of times that size.

MUDGE NAMED MODERATOR BY PRESBYTERIANS Challenge to Church in Industrial Slump, Says David Reed. By United Prets PITTSBURGH, Pa., May 29. There is a challenge to the church In the industrial depression, Senator David A. Reed (Pa.) said in a short address before the 143d general assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States here today. The business crash brought a "realization for the need of spirituality in our lives,” Senator Reed said. Dr. Lewis Seymour Mudge, Philadelphia, advanced from stated clerk to moderator of the assembly Thursday. After a brief revival of the fundamentalist-modernist controversy he announced his appointments today. Thirty-eight overtures were placed in the hands of the standing committee on bills and overtures for consideration and action. These covered problems ranging from birth control to life insurance at cost for ministers, church union to prohibition. The presbytery of Arkansas desires the assembly adopt and send down to the presbyteries the plan of organic union adopted by the reformed churches of America. The same presbytery seeks "energetic action” on the part of the committee on church union in respect to the proposed merger with the Methodist Episcopal church. The Chester, Pa,, Presbytery favors further consideration of the proposal to unite with the reformed churches. The assembly is asked to instruct the board of Christian education to arrange a large program in regard to the whole prohibition movement in an overture submitted by Los Angeles presbytery. This program would give education as the vital value of prohibition and the evil effects of alcohol on the individual and on our social and industrial structure.

RECTOR DEFIES LAW IN BIRTH CONTROLCLINIC Instructs Prospective Brides Despite Threat of Prosecution. By United Press TORONTO, Ontario, May 29. Because he believes “he does not have the right to permit women to go to their deaths from bearing too many children,” the Rev. Canon Lawrence Skey, rector of St. Anne’s Angelican church, intends to continue the clinic in which he gives birth control advice to prospective brides, despite threats of prosecuton. Skey has the support of 1,200 families in the workingman’s section of Toronto, where he has ministered some thirty years, in his campaign favoring birth control for those families financially or physically unable to support additions to the family “Do I have the right to permit women to go to their deaths because the government and doctors will not inform them?” Skey asked “I will continue to give that information to brides-to-be and grooms, if they are accompanied by their parents,” he declared He criticised wealthy families who refuse to bear children, declaring “they shouldn’t be married; I wouldn’t protect them by birth control legislation. But even they shouldn’t have more than one child every three years.” Many women, the rector believes, "live with fear in their hearts because they know they are going to have another child, when they can’t support the ones they have in the way they should be reared, educated and given a fair start in life”
