WASHINGTON,

March 4 4 (U. P.).—President Roose-

\velt and Chief Justice Hughes joined today ina fervent ex-) \altation of democratic principles and religious freedom in] stirred by rising forms of autocracy. n addresses to a special joint session of Congress both 1ailed the vigorous survival of the American Bill of Rights. Mr. Roosevelt made special mention of the freedom of

worship. He declared the United States could not by passive silence “lend encouragement to those who today

persecute religion or deny it.” . The President and Chief Justice

addressed Congress on the occasion of the 150th anniversary -of its initial session at New York, March 4, It was the first time in history that a Chief Justice has ad-

dressed ‘Congress. Hughes Recalls Dispute

Mr. Justice Hughes’ address contained passages couched in general terms but believed by his listeners to refer to issues widely debated

during dispute over President Roosevelt's proposals for enlarging the Supreme Court. “If our checks and balances sometimes prevent the speedy action Mr. “they also assure in the long run a more deliberate judgment. And what the people want, they generally get.¥ ..charaeterized.. the executive, judicial and legislative branches of government as “partners” and declared “one member of our body politic cannot say to another 1 have

~ no need of thee.”

Mr. Justice Hughes warned against “abuses threatened by gusts of passion and prejudice which in misguided zeal would destroy the basic

- interests of democracy.”

i ‘No Aid to Tyranny’

‘Mr. Roosevelt did not mention dictatorships directly but left no doubt of his faith in the superiority of democracy over “other forms of government” which “revert to those systems of concentrated selfperpetuating power.” He abhorred “reincarnation of the ‘justice’ of the Dark Ages” in some nations. “Today,” he said, “with many

other democracies, the United States | will give no encouragement to the

belief that our processes are outworn, or that we will approvingly watch the return of forms of government which for 2000 years have proved their tyranny and instability alike.” “Shall we by -our passiveness, by our silence, by assuming the attitude of the Levite who pulled his skirts together and passed on the other side, lend encouragement to those who today prosecute religion or deny it?” he asked. Mr. Roosevelt replied to his’ own question with emphasis: “The answer is ‘No,’ just as in the days of the first Congress of the United States it was ‘No.””

Bankhead and Pittman Speak

Speaker William B. Bankhead and Senator Pittman - (D. Nev.), Presi-

spoke briefly. Speaker Bankhead saidefhat this is a crucial time for reappraising the desirability of our democratic form of government as an example to our democratic neighbors in the Western Hemisphere and overseas.

SEEKS TOBIN AID TO LABOR PEAGE

President ‘tg Make Strong Plea at C. I. 0.-A. F. L. Parley Tuesday

By LUDWELL DENNY

Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, March 4.—President Roosevelt returned home today to find his labor peace plans smudged by union maneuvers, With the negotiations scheduled to open at the White House Tuesday, the A. F. of L. started &¢ new battle with C. I. O. to kill the New Deal labor board and Adminstration enemies revived their impeachment fight against Libor Secretary Perkins. To make matters wr the President’s white hope among the A. F. of L. negotiators, Daniel Tobin of Indianapolis, head of the powerful Teamsters Union, has withdrawn. The President is try-

ing desperately to lure him back.|

Also the President is frying to postpone the destructive Labor Board fight in Congress, which is poisoning the air around his A. F. of L.-C. I. O. peace parley. This plan seemed to have been achicved early this week by the Supreme Court decisions curbing the Bcard, and by Administration success in sidetracking the March 10 hearings on both the A. F. of L.-Walsh amendments and the so-called Burke nullification amendments to the Wagner Labor Relations Act.

Annabelle Already Knows Story She Wi Was 1s Never Told

KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 4 (U. P.).—The amazing courage and understanding of Annabelle Coen, 7, inspired doctors and nurses at Mercy Hospital today. A week ago Friday an automobile hit the blond, blue-eyed child. Her forehead was bruised and her left leg: so badly mangled that surgeons had to amputate just above the knee to save her life. Next day, as the anesthesia and shock dissipated and her physical senses began to return, her nurse went to the hospital library and read a story no one likes to tell: “Once there was a bad storm, and it damaged a beautiful house. But the people who lived there were not discouraged. They fixed it up with |} Dev parts and went right on living n i “Sometimes a storm hurts people too. You, my dear, have been through something like a storm, and now is the time to make the most of what you have and build]

smiled poignantly. But when she|

spoke it was about how cute the infant was in the maternity ward across the corridor, and about her concern for other children in her own ward. All week the nurses and doctors waited so they could tell Annabelle she story of the storm. Yestertiay Annabelle pulled down the covers when she was bathed. There on a pillow lay the stub of her left leg. But Annabelle found something at the window to hold her attension. She did not turn her face until her bath was finished and the covers again drawn up. Now the hospital staff feels certain Annabelle had known about the amputation since Monday. They doubt that she will ever ask the

BRICKER PLACES 'HOPESIING. 0. P.

Tells Editors Victory in 1940 Would ‘Create Better Times.

“Economic and industrial recovery soon will follow Republican victories in the state and national elections of 1940,” Gov. John W. Bricker of Ohio declared last night. Governor Bricker, mentioned with Senator Taft of Ohio as possibilities for the 1940 Republican presidential nomination, spoke at the Indiana Republican Editorial Association’s 61st annual banquet at the Claypool Hotel. | Other party chieftains -whesbpoke included State Chairman Arch N. Bobbitt; Homer Capehart, Cornfield Conference host, and Raymond Willis of Angola, defeated Republican Senatorial candidate. Nearly 500 prominent Republicans packed the Riley Room to hear leaders call for renewal of party loyalty and election of a Republican

O’Neel Elected New Head

Edwin V. O'Neel of Hagerstown was elected association president; James E. Montgomery, New Albany, first vice president; William B. Hargrave, Rockville, second vice president; Neil D. McCallum, Batesville, secretary, and William D. Murray, Bicknell, treasurer. Charging that “patronage, power and pilfering” had been the rule that prompted the policies of the present administration, Governor Bricker urged Republicans to ‘“‘appraise the burdens of government with the benefits of government” and face the next election with a program to restore confidence in the party, At its birth, the Republican Party, he declared, was “shot through with high moral purposes.” It has been established on a higher plane of integrity, honesty and honor than any political party the nation has ever known and confidence in these high ideals must be restored,” he said,

Tells of Ohio Reforms

Governor = Bricker pointed to “the encroachment of the Federal government upon: affairs of state and lqgal governments as one evil to be combated by the Republican party.” Local self-government must be maintained if the idea of the American system of government is to continue, he declared. “The one best defense against subversive movements in this coun-

try is an aggressive, progressive Re- |

publican Party. If we can make popular democratic and representative government, we need ‘fear no ism, either foreign or at home.” Governor Bricker told of the reforms he had instituted in Ohio in an effort to restore confidence in government in his state. He has “retired” 600 = state-owned automobiles and discharged 3000 surplus (Continued on Page Three)

BERLIN, March 4 (U. P.) —Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, the financial “wizard” recently ousted as head of the Reichsbank, was reported in reliable quarters today to have been instructed by Fuenrer Hitler to take command of a great campaign to revive foreign trade. Coincident with this report, Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goering, Herr Hitler's rizht hand man, went to Italy for a visit of several

ed to hold important conferences with Premier Mussolini and other Italian leaders. Marshal Goering ‘was expected particularly to discuss Italy’s ‘“aspirations” at France's expense and the future relations of Germany and Italy with Spain. Dr. Schacht’s reported assignment was regarded in well-informed quarters as even more important, however, and of considerable significance to all countries which strive for world trade.

Gets Personal Orders It was said that Herr Hitler had personally given Dr. Schacht instructions to: 1. Seek new markets for German goods abroad to provide additional foreign exchange. 2. Attempt to arrange a settlement of the situation created by frozen debits and credits under the Nazi economic system. This plan, as. reported by trustworthy German sources, was of added interest because of the opening of a new British campaign to improve trade relations with North European nations and with Soviet Russia. In recent months economic factors have become more closely intertwined than ever with the political phases of Europe's struggle between democracies and dictatorships until trade has become a potent weapon of diplomacy. It was understood that Dr. Schacht would take the initiative (Continued on Page Three)

SURPRISE MOVE

‘Speaker Leaves Chair |

To Deny ‘Military Rule’ Threat.

House Republicans today substi

tuted a new biennial apropriations bill, trimming nearly four million dollars from the original, and then passed it, 52 to 48, over the opposition of the Democratic minority. The surprise move came when

the $83,473,060 measure, approved

by the Ways and Means Committee, was considered on second reading.

The new bill was offered as an |

amendment to the original by Rep.

Faul Brady (R. Muncie), Senator E. Curtis White (D.. Tndianapolis), majority floor leader, said the upper chamber might hold a session tonight to pass the hill under suspension of the rules. Any Senate amendments then must be concurred in by the House. The new bill, technically an amendment to the original, would provide for appropriations totaling’

"1$80,071,064 to pay the expenses of:

the State Government during the next two years.

Knapp Defends Governor

A few minutes earlier, Speaker James Knapp, a Republican, yielded

the gavél to Rep. Frank Millis (R. | Campbellsburg) while he spoke from |

the floor in defense of Governor Townsend after Rep. Herbert H. Evans (R. New Castle), majority floor leader, had declared that the Governor “should be impeached.”

Rep. Evans had stated that somes =

newspapers. quoted the Goverfior as saying that if the Republicans not pass the budget bill hé would operate the State under military rule for the next two years. “The Governor has not done one thing to help this budget,” Rep. Evans said. “It is lucky for him that we do not have a Republican

Senate or I would institute im-

peachment proceedings this. morn ing.” Turning toward the side, he ‘shouted: “Why don’t. you Democrats get hold on the Governor and stop him from making these fool statements. We're not going home and we! re not going to be bluffed.”

Denies Militia Threat

Speaker Knapp then came down from* the rostrum and said that he and Rep. Millis were in the conference with the Governor, He denied that the Governor had made any threat to call out the militia, but had merely said he would operate under the Reorganization Act if the budget bill was not passed.. “I am taking this unusual step out of respect for the office of the Gove ernor of Indiana. Everyone of the ‘61 Club’ is sincere in this budget. We don’t want the Republican Party placed in the position of deliberately delaying this bill and caus ing a special session.

Democratie

“The, Governor agreed that #*

would be political suicide for either party to attempt to block the budget bills. He was very frank and coxe dial and made no threats of an kind.” Throughout his talk, the Representatives applauded the Speaker and whén he had finished the entire House membership rose to cheer and applaud him. It was probably the most spirited demonstration on the legislative floor this session. Mr. Evans was seen to join in the applause. Rep. Daniel Bower, Indianapolis Democrat, in acknowledging Mr, Knapp’s gesture toward the Govere nor, remarked “that was the greate est speech which has been made on the floor of the House this session.” Mr. Evans didn’t say anything more and the House Proceeded W with its businéss. - -
