BY WALTER I). HICKMAN. THE onward march into the ehtirrhes of the country as well as the plea for "personal religion" is splendidly and intelligently developed by Dr. Lyman P. Powell. New York city pastor, in his latest book, “The Better Part." Dr. Powell will be remembered for his “Mary Baker Eddy: A LifeSize Portrait." which has been extremely populatt as well as authentic. “The Better Part" is an intelligent study of the creation of a spiritualized democracy. Dr. Powell not only has had exceptional opportunities to study all church movements and tendencies in this country' as well as abroad, but he has kept an elbow touch with men and women as well as world events. The influences of these experiences eoupled with his years of studying writing and preaching, give this book added weight and importance. In “The Better Part.” he handles subjects and thoughts w'hieh now me dominant factors in the lives of all. This fact, makes the opinions of Dr. Powell more timely than ever. Dr. Powell in discussing personal religion writes: Rethinking our religion, enriching our understanding of religion, widening our outlook of religion requires us to personalize our religion. We have to make it ours. Religion never becomes religion until it becomes personal." He maintains there Is no substitute for personal religion and that It is easy to get an audience when one explains how one may make religion personal. Says Dr. Powell: “The final justification of the church must be sought in its power to develop personal religion. If the church in these uncertain days scores even moderate success in the development of the life of God in the soul of man. its general usefulness will go unchallenged; its members will invariably be found on the right side of every public question. They will cease to get rich at the expense of the unprivileged. They will rom- , pletelv recover from the American itch to get money without making * It.” nan 'T'HE question of taxation of I church property is carefully considered by Dr. Powell in "The Better Part " He discusses the value of church property, shows its enormous growth and gives conclusive figures to show' the increase of the church s material wealth. Dr. Powell maintains that the -hurch must Justify its tax exempiions "by a wise conservation of resources." and "with an avoidance of unnecessary competition and “with an avoidance of unnecessary competition and careless duplication. etc " One of the gems of thought of Dr. Powell is his earnest conviction is that minister should desist the temptation "o preach almost everything exc.pt the good news which Jesus Christ brought " He maintains that people go to church to find "inspiration and power to live the life of God within." And his deduction Is sound when he says when a person lives within that, the individual will express it in his social and political relations. He maintains that then “their voting then will match their preaching." He makes a plea for the right pay for ministers and at the same time makes a plea for people to show more interest in the churchs spiri- ‘ tusl business. Dr. Powell is optimistic about the future and maintains that "we shall solve our every problem" and that the churches will not fail the world when what the world needs most of all is what the churches have to give: a personal religion expressed in all relationships ’ He points out that church unity Is not m sight but closer co-opera-tion is coming every year. He shows that people of various denominations are not quarreling and stressing points of difference, but now •are looking for the things they have in common." The goal is "a clearer apprehension of the better part " Dr. Powell is the father of Talcott Powell, editor of The Indianapolis Times. ...... "The Better Part" is published by the *Bobb6-Mernll Company and sells for $l5O mu* J. B. Lippmeott Company late in the autumn plans to publish an English translation of the 1933 French prize mystery novel. The title is “The Strange Will Power of Professor Lorram." by Simons and Erigny. Last year's winner was “Shoes That Had Walked Twice." m m • Here is a timely book. Its title is "Finding a Job." and will be published Sept. 11 by the Fleming H -Re veil Company.

COURTS BACK OF NEW DEAL, BAR IS TOLB Emergency Acts Upheld as Constitutional, Asserts Cummings. Ry f nitrH rrrtt WASHINGTON. Sept. I—The Rooseveltian New Deal marched on j today, confident of the constitutionality of its acts. The courts have upheld both the National Industrial Recovery act and the Agricultural Adjustment act. And now Attorney-General Homer Cummings, in a forceful and polished speech betore the American j Bar Association at Grand Rapids, has served notice on the nation's lawyers that the country expects them to co-operate. In detail, he defends the legality 1 of NIRA. AAA. and all other extraordinary enactments since ; March 4 “The life, letter, and integrity of the constitution have not been impaired." the attorney-gen-eral told the bar. No Longer Molested He spoke of the gerat economic and industrial changes. “We are tin longpr a nation whose problems are local and isolated," he declared. "Today almost every economic and social problem is both local and national.” He described endeavors being made by President Rfiosevelt to meet these changed conditions, and then pointed to the words of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, recently retired from the United States supreme court, to show ihat he believed the courts j themselves would recognize these new' conditions in finally passing in the legality of the new deal. “In dealing with given cases” the attorney-general said at Grand Rapids. “I am confident, that the courts, in the words of Mr. Justice Holems. yill consider them ‘in the light, of our whole experience, and j not merely by what was said 100; years ago.' ” Expert Congress Aid It is upon recognition by Congress of these new economic con- j ditions. of the present acute in- i dustrial and social emergency, as set out in NIRA and AAA, that j government legal experts expect these laws to be upheld. The preambles of both acts say that Congress sees the great emergency, and is endeavoring to meet. j it. Both District of Columbia judges who have ruled on these laws have upheld their constitutionality, e=p°- j cially because of these preambles. {

The United States Military Academv at Wr'est Point is to emphasize hereafter, in preparing future armv officers, training in actual field conditions, thit the officer may understand better the viewpoint of the enlisted man. This program was given its first test in a four-day hike and maneuvers last week. A ScrippsHoward correspondent accompanied the cadets on the hike and in a series of articles, of which this is the first, describes in detail the operation of the amplified training. BY WILLIAM D. O’BRIEN, TimFA Special Writer WEST POINT. Sept. I.—Two young cadets who one day will be officers in the United States army, with the well-being of hundreds of enlisted men in their rare, toil in a slashing storm of rain, slip in the mud, struggling with shelter halves. Their socks and shoes are saturated. Their soggy uniforms of gray are pasted to them. Rivulets of water drip from hat brims, down their backs. They drudge on in the deluge, and at last their tiny pup tent is up. They prepare to sleep In the field overnight with the most severe storm in decades beating about their flimsy shelter. Ten miles away are the dry. relatively luxurious comforts of their camp at the United States Military Academy. The rain ceases for a little time; then a new' show'er, more furious than the last of an unending series, pelts the field. The mud deepens, puddles widen, discomforts pile up. The streaming cadets, among 600 of their fellows, start now to protect as w-ell as they can the sparse section of the muddy field that is to be their bed for the night. They take their shovels, bend their backs to the falling torrents and "ditch” their tent. They pry out segments of swashy sod, hack a circular ditch and pile the grassy clumps of earth about the canvas that flutters in the wind and dpnts to the savage onslaught of the rain. The two cadets “ditch" their

tents wrong. The water that smashes against the tent has no place to trickle, save inside. The cadets spend the night in the rising pool. n n a TACTICAL officers lieutenants, captains, majors of the regular army—splashing, slipping through the mud at reveille note the mistake in the dark morning. They say nothing. The officers know' that the tw'O cadets—and many others among the 600 on the field—will profit by the pain of their error, “ditch,” correctly the next night, and. more important than all, will see to it w'ith grim, reminiscent fervor when they are officers themselves that the men they command in the field w'ill “ditch" their tnts right. Heads down against the rain, the tactical officers then squash a careful wav through the boggy camp to their mess fly and, awaiting the uplift of 6 a. m. coffee, meditate with satisfaction on the first evidence of the value of a new program. The thoroughly learned lesson of the faultily ditched tent was one f many learned .by the offi-cers-to-be by realistic participation. not from books or lectures, for the benefit of thousands of sol-diers-yet-to-be under this West Point plan. Slighted for many years, the plan was given its first full and satisfactory test in a hike and w'ar game just ended by the cadets, after encounters w'ith phases of camp weather as severe as possible in times of peace. The desirability of renewed stress on field training for prospective officers w'as advanced by Lieutenant-Colonel Simon B. Buckner Jr., w'ho became commandant of cadets at West Point in May. a a * A THOUSAND and more officers now on duty at many posts owe much to training under

A West Point Encampment on the Hudson, and, right, LieutenantColonel Simon F, Buckner, Academy Commandant,

thp gray-haired commandant, who has as much go and snap in his bearing still as has the youngest cadet on parade. His sharp gray eyes, watchful from the sound of the first bugle call in the dark of the early rainy morning, lost no detail of the unfolding of his idea to increase the usefulness of an officer during the hike last week. Colonel Buckner, w'hose father was a Confederate general in the Civil war and Governor of Kentucky from 1887 to 1891. was graduated from West Point In 1908, served in the Philippines and, soon after this country's entry into the World war, organized and trained aviation units. Thereafter, on the general staff, he was in charge of senior and staff officers of the Seventeenth division and later he was at the Infantry school, Fort Benning, Ga.; at the command and general

staff school. Fort Leavenworth, Kan.; on the executive staff of the army war college, and instructor in tactics at West Point. Colonel Buckner believes that an essential attribute of the good army officer is an understanding of the enlisted man's point of view. An office", he believes, should know the reactions of the man in the ranks to an order; the difficulties that face a soldier on the march and in camp and how they may be overcome; the imponderables that weaken morale, what a soldier can do to attain the maximum of health and personal comfort in camp, on the march. a a a THE Commandant believes that all of this may be learned adequately only if the cadet in training for a commission follows the precise route of an enlisted man, meeting and conquering. without an instructor

leading him safely by the hand, the full force of obstructions facing the soldier, and only if he does the lowdy, tedious, backstraining chores that make up life for those in the ranks. With all of this in mind, Colonel Buckner inaugurated thus year the most exacting field maneuvers held from the military academy in years. Starting a week ago Monday, they w’ere planned for five days, but broke up on Thursday because of record rain storms. Cadets were in complete charge —tactical officers acting only in supervising capacity —of making camp. They drove trucks, unloaded trucks, put up the officers’ tents—as w'ell as their own—established field kitchens, cooked, peeled potatoes, hauled w'ater, tended some 200 horses, cleaned harness and provided latrines. The orders of cadets and the muscles of cadets broke camp, too. a a a THEY performed every task, turn and turn about, that ordinarily would have fallen to enlisted men. They stood in dripping lines for chow with ordinary mess kits and they learned, without the assistance of instructions, how to keep themselves as comfortable as one may in cloudbursts. On the march, cadets were battalion leaders, officers in charge of companies and su.oplies. Cadet officers were given daily problems to outwit the “enemy." They prepared their own plan of attack, gave their own commands for movements of units over roads and fields and thicketed hillsides. They were permitted to blunder. Tactical officers, acting as umpires, merely looked on, listened, prepared to interfere only if a mistake seemed imminent that would prevent working out the battle problem.”

LABOR’S FEAR ; AROUSED BY NRA TANGLE Provision in Auto Code Is Seen as Menace to Unionization. BY Rl TH FINNEY TimM Special IVriter WASHINGTON. Sept. 1 - A show- : down on labor organization moved 8 I step closer today, as the NRA labor | advisory board served notice that ! it will not tolerate “efficiency" and I "individual merit" clauses in any j more codes. At the same time, resignation of j Dudley Cates as assistant adminI istrator of NRA disclosed the sort of pressure against unionism to which the administration is being subjected. Cates has been arguing within the NRA that "the convention types ; of trade unions and employers’ asso- ; ciations, both essentially provocaI tive are inconsistent with the spirit of the act." Fear Union Side Weakened Administrator Johnson, in the face of this pressure, has reiterated j constantly that he will enforce the | collective bargaining provisions of the act as they are written, and | Catps’ resignation has been accepted I because of "differences of opinion." Organized labor men on the labor advisory board, finding that twen-ty-nine industries have scrambled to include labor provisions of the ! automobile code in their own agree--1 ments, are apprehensive that this I wording has weakened their posi- | tion definitely. In the absence of the chairman, ! Dr. Leo Wolman, whose approval of ! the automobile code last week other members sought unsuccessfully to I reverse, these men issued a declaration that the board "sets its fare I firmly against the acceptance of any code with this clause." Tates Gives Reasons The labor board explained that "as practical men, with long expe- ! rience of this very clause, we know i the misuses to which ‘efficiency’ and ‘merit’ are put. The terms have served as a screen behind which employers opposed to any organiza- | tion of their employes have intimidated or eliminated wage earners favoring organizations of their own. The terms as applied have left ! the sole determination of what | constitutes efficiency or merit to ! the employer, without adequate ap- | peal by the workmen who are being discriminated against.” While difference of opinion on lai bor organization apparently was not I the sole cause of Dudley Cates’ | resignation, it was the one he I chose to disclose.
