I am all the more astonished because of the apparent lack of knowledge of these gentlemen of conditions in congress this session.” The letter previously was inserted! in th* record by Minority Leader, Robinson.

HOOVER LASHES BOND PLAN FOR U. S. BUILDING Condemned as ‘Grandiose Schemes’ That Could Create Few Jobs. By failed Pm* WASHINGTON. May 23 Democrats today faced thb necessity of further revising their unemployment relief programs, if they are to meet President Hoover’s determined opposition to bond issues for federal works. The President, in a studied and vigorous week-end communication, denounced ail proposals for bond issues for federal construction projects. He condemned them as "grandiose” schemes which could create less than 40,000 Jobs in the next year—and those only at the “fearful price” of unbalancing the budget, demoralizing government credit and imposing "unbearable burdens upon the taxpayer." The compromise relief program of senate Democrats calls for a $500.000.000 bond issue. Speaker John Garner’s plan proposes an issue of $1,000,000,000. There has been widespread agitation for bond issued up to $5,000,000,000. Mr. Hoover approved the Democratic provision for increasing the Reconstruction Finance CorporaI tion's borrowing power by $1,500,000,000 to finance "income producing" or "self-liquidating" works such as waterworks, toll bridges, toll tunnels and docks. He also agreed that the reconstruction corporation should be empowered to advance funds to hardprpssed states for direct relief. The President expressed his views in a long letter to President Richard S. Parker of the American Society of Civil Engineers. He warned that “the back of the depression can not be broken by any single government undertakJ inn."

MINISTER FLEES AFTER DEACONS RAID ON CHURCH Denies Holding Wild Party With Five Others in Darkened Rooms. By I nited Per** ELMSFORD. N. Y.. May 23 —The Rev. D. Wesley Soper. 20, who hurriedly left his pastorate here after deacons raided a parsonage party in a darkened room, really abandoned his pastorate as result of a birth control sermon, his supporters declared today. The deacons assembled Sunday night to discuss the situation in the very parsonage In which they claimed to have found the pastor, two young unmarried men. and three girls "who weren't local girls, so far as we know.” And the congregation of the Dutch Reformed church heard a sermon by another minister, one of several who will be heard before a successor to the youthful Soper Is selected. Mr. Soper, in the meantime, is making his home with his father, the Rev. Merrit A. Soper, pastor of the Congregational church at Chester, N. J. He left a twenty-eight page statement in Elms.ord to fight his battle here. That statement, among other things, referred to his critics as "a lot of lobster-faced prudes,” He denied the party was not a nice party, and he denied there was drinking in the darkened parsonage room when the raiding deacons stormed into the sanctuary. "If it was a nice party and nothing was wrong, why weren’t the lights turned on?” Deacon J. F. Rottman wanted to know. "If there was no drinking, what were all the bottles and glasses doing around the place?” Deacon C. A. Reiter asked.

BONUS DEFEAT FORECAST BY FOES' LEADER Record Vote Will Be Taken in House: Many Pledged in Opposition. By Brrippi-Howard \etcpaprr Ailianrp WASHINGTON. May 23 Representative Royal C. Johnson <Rep, S. D.), World war veteran leader of the fight against the soldiers* bonus, today revealed that in a secret poll of fifty more representatives and four more senators than are necessary to uphold the President's veto definitely had pledged themselves to vote against the measure. If the 195 representatives and thirty-six senators who have given their word stay hitched—and Johnson is certain they will—proponents of the measure can hope to gain nothing by continuing their drive, except to embarrass their colleagues In the house and in the senate by Arcing a record vote. That a record vote will be taken, at least m the house, now is conceded. unless congress shows unexpected speed and winds up its business in time to adjourn early next month. If congress remains in session and does not recess for the political party conventions, the vote probably will be taken June 13. If congress recesses for the conventions, rules of the house require that the vote be taken on the next second or fourth Monday of tha month after congress reconvenes.
