SUNDAY SCHOOLS OF COUNTY MAKE AMAZING ADVANCE Enrollment of 63,976 Shown for Last Year; Thousands of Adults Renew Their Allegiance. TEACHERS ARE BETTER TRAINED Christian Men Builders Win National Fame; Vacation Bible Courses Enroll Many in Summer. BY WALTER !>. HICKMAN Tlmfi f'hurrh F.ditor The Bible school cavalcade of Jndianapolis and Marion county is the greatest in its history. This imposing march of thousands of men. women and children each Sabbath into Sunday schools and Rible classes of city and county churches is one of the most amazing facts of this survey. Men, women, children, teachers and officers of this gigantic city and county Rible school, or Sunday school cavalcade. form an amazing enrollment of 63,976 for the last year.

Those figures include 4,044 teachers anil officers, according to official reports of the Indiana Council of Religious Education, with offices at 812 Board of Trade building, Indianapolis. The arms of the church have reached these people of all ages and the ranks of churchgoers have been increased in thus way. Many Indianapolis pastors are using what, is known as the unified school and church plan, in which the Sunday school services blend harmoniously and interestingly into the morning church service. Teacher Well Trained The Sunday school teacher of todav in Indianapolis is not "just an accident." but a splendidly trained product of colleges and universities, as well as of the highly specialized denominational and inter-denom-mationnl teachers’ training schools, held twice yearly. In the words of one modern Sunriav school teacher. "The Bible lesson of today is presented not only In its historical light, but its modern application to all lives is fully explained." Doctors, lawyers, editors, college presidents, advertising experts, men and women holding state and city jobs, all trained to give intelligent discussions of the lesson, are teaching those thousands of members of the Bible school cavalcade of Indianapolis and Marion county. Bible Schools in Summer Going to Sunday school has been made so attractive and so beneficial to hundreds of boys and girls that summer vacation Bible schools are being conducted by many churches, where the children spend their mornings in safe and sane play as well as in study.

CUBAN CHIEF 1$ READY TO GIVEUP POST Acting President Acceptable to All Parties Will Succeed Machado. ARMY DESERTS HIM Refuses to Shed Blood of Countrymen to Keep Leader in Office. BY LAWRENCE HAAS I’nitrd Pru* Sl*ff Cnrrupondsnt iCoovneht. 1933. by United Pr*so HAVANA. Aug. 12.—President i Gerardo Machado, overwhelmed by army mutiny and a revolutionary general strike, was expected, to apply for a vacation today, and retire from ; the capital in favor of an acting president acceptable to all parties. Arrangements for his surrender of office were understood to have been made at a midnight conference at Ihe presidential palace, in which , Machado. American Ambassador Sumner Welles, army chiefs and members of opposition political parties participated. Machado was said to have left immediately afterward for his country home at Fmca Menita. under a military guard which was announced as for his own safety. Army Turns Against Him The 61-year-old president, an army general and veteran of the war for independence, reluctantly gave up hope of retaining dictatorial power when the army with whose 1 aid he remained in office turned on i him and, refusing to shed Cuban blood for him, told him to go. I Early today the following message was sent out from the army radio station at Columbia barracks, outside the capital, where Machado had concentrated his crack troops: •Since one hour ago General Macado has ceased to be president. I We guarantee that he who substitutes for the president will not be an army officer or a politician. "The United States ambassador is in accord w’ith the opposition. No Fear of Disturbance ‘ At thus moment the ambassador I is conferring with army officers, ae--1 companied by Colonel Julio Sanguili ichief of thp Havana division, who assumed command i. "There is no fear of any disturbance. There is absolute order. The army and the people w’ill be like brothers." It was expected that as a result ;of the conference at the palace. Machado would return to the capital this morning, and that at a formal ceremony he would request a vacation. This, it was understood, would be accepted at once, and an agreed political leader would at once be made secretary of state and become acting president. Machados resignation was not expected, because this would necessitate an immediate election under the constitution. There being ; no vice-president, the secretary of state would take the leadership as provisional chief. Confidence in Welles American Ambassador Welles seemed to have thp confidence of all parties and was mentioned in army communiques as a member of forces trying to restore normal government. He was up practically all night. At 3 a. m. <2 a. m. Indianapolis time i he was reported in confer- ! ence with Alberto Herrera, secretary of war, and army and navy chiefs. Herrera, a Machado man. was the president’s own selection for secretary of state. The army turned him down. SPINNING AUTO WHEEL INJURES MAN BADLY Harold Adams. 24. in Critical Condition After Mishap.

Organization of more than 3.000 active "combatants" in the local recovery army to codify the unemployed and investigate non-compli-ance with the NRA program was started today. Offers of assistance in this w’ork were received from nine Indianapolis business and civic organizations and a number of individuals by James E. Fisher, "colonel” of the local NRA army. Fisher stated that 3.000 workers would be needed to make the surveys. iastead of the 1.300 originally estimated. Individuals willing to share in the work were asked to send postcards, signifying their willingness, to the Chamber of Commerce.

Johnson, national recovery administrator, who were invited to speak in Indianapolis at a parade and monster mass meeting in the Circle on Indiana Recovery day. Aug. 21. Senator Frederick Van Nuys said he had been in touch with General Johnson Friday and that, while the NRA chief had made no definite promise, he had indicated he would come if possible. Francis Wells, Indiana recovery director, said today that word from the President accepting the invitation to speak to the crowd over the radio from the summer White House at Hyde Park, N. Y., was expected today. The recovery director announced that it is planned to have the speakers address the crowd from the balcony of the Englisn hotel, in the Circle.

Atkins. "lieutenant-general" of the local recovery army, at thfe Chamber of Commerce Friday. The parade committee, headed by Webb Sparks, executive director, received promises of floats from practically every large business association in towm. While plans for the parade were going along favorably, trouble brewed in the recovery offices on a number of details concerning fair competition and code observance. In an attempt to settle definitely the protracted dispute among local retail grocers on the maximum hour question under the NRA agreement. Wells telegraphed Washington Friday. asking for a definite interpretation. to settle the dispute once and for all. Faction Fights Plan A minority of the grocers insists that it will have to reduce its emiplovment if it keeps to the maximum of sixty-eight hours a week sef by the representatives of 1.200 stores w hich met last week. Wells stated that as far as he knew at present, there w r as nothing to limit the maximum number of hours for grocery stores, but decided to wire to Washington to make sure of a correct interpretation of the agreement. At a meeting of downtown merchants Friday, all major stores signified their intention of placing colorful floats in the parade, according to Theodore B. Griffith, vicepresident of L. S Ayres & Cos., who presided at the meeting. F M Bancroft, general-manager of Goodyear Service. Inc., has been named chairman of a committee to organize manufacturers to enter floats. E. E.
