Larned, Michigan chair- man of the National Emergency Council, declared that wages to be paid -for WPA work "are barely liv- ing wages, but they are wages that the recipient can accept without dam- age to his self respect." He predicted that the program "will stimulate and accelerate recovery," and declared that if the program re- ceives the "hearty and courageous' cooperation of private industry it' cannot fail." Pierson explained that jobs firstI Were being provided in urban centers, The aerial view of the giant British liner, Queen Mary, was taken just after the first funnel was set in place at Clydebank, Scotland.

Methodists Attempt To Repair Rifts Started By A Wife's Slaves t CHICAGO, Aug. 10. -(T)- An- i other move toward a permanent truce in a 100-year church war, started f because a bishop's wife owned slaves, will be taken here next week by lead- ers of American Methodism. A united Methodism, creating the largest Protestant body in America, is the goal of a conference of com- missions representing three Metho- dist factions which split when the Nation was dividing for the Civil f War. Efforts to cement the rift between the three groups - the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Methodist Episcopal Church South and the Methodist Protestant Church -have been carried on for almost two de- cades. Optimistic Spirit Prevails A general spirit of optimism that their task will soon be' accomplished prevails among the conferees for the sessions, scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday at Northwestern Uni- versity, Dean James A. James, one of the comissioners, said today. Bomb Derails Freioht Train, Injuring Three SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Aug. 10.- (R) - Three men were injured, seriously' when an Illinois central freight train. was dynamited three miles south of here early today. The blast derailed the locomotive and 10 of the 110 empty cars right- of-way was torn up, temporarily dis- rupting traffic. Investigation officials said they be- lieved the tangled affairs of the Il- 'linois coal miners' dispute was behind' the dynamiting. Members of the United Mine Workers of America and the Progressive Miners organization have been at "war," for several years. Police and railroad authorities said they presumed the blast was intended for the nightly train Chicago bound Six bishops, three from the North and three from the South branch of the church, will take part in the dis- cussions designed to renair the dam- age done by the Negro servants of a Southern bishop's wife back in 1839. Feeling was particularly strong among Methodists on the slavery is- sue in those days, and the general conference of the Church unfrocked the bishop whose spouse owned the Slaves. Southern Methodists sympathized and informed a separate body at about the same time that Presby- terian and Baptist churches were suf- fering similar rifts for the salve cause. Third Group Was Formed During this same period Methodists in the border states -Kentucky, Maryland and Tennessee -formed a third group in protest against Gov- ernment of the Church by bishops. They called themselves Methodist Protestants and chose "superinten- dents" rather than bishops to lead them. This third group now includes only about 200,000 communicants, but with the North and South branches would form a denomination of 9,- 500,000, by far the largest Protestant unit in the country, Dean James said. Moves toward reunion began in 1918, with a conference on the North- western University campus, Several years laterbformal commissionsrwere appointed by the general conferences to the .other and a feeling of friendly understanding gradually became stronger. The Nothern branch of the Church has voted for unification sev- eral times but the Southern branch has yet to approve. Conference Began In Chicago The latest series of conferences be- gan in Chicago last August and con- tineud in Louisville, Ky., in February, where plans for union were drafted. With 39 laymen and clergymen, the six bishops - the Rev. William F. McDowell, the Rev. Edwin Hughes, the Rev. Ernest G. Richardson, the Rev: Edwin D. Mouzon, the Rev. Charles Jean Drossner (above), French soldier of fortune, began a hunger strike at the Milwaukee, Wis., county jail, where he is being held during extradition hearings. The French government seeks to return him to France where he has been convicted of forging national defense bonds. Volunteer Signed As 'Human Icicle' In Scientific Test HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Aug. 10. - (P) - Stephen Simkhovich, 34 years old, has agreed to become a human icicle for science under a contract entered into here with Dr. Ralph S. Willard, the monkey freezing chem- ist. Simkhovitch, powerfully-built sce- narist, was chosen for this unique experiment from among 180 persons Dr. Willard said had offered them- selves in the interests of medical science. The chemist said the. experiment will begin as soon as a refrigerator suitable to contain the human sub- ject can be built. Attorneys who drew the contract added that if circumstances arise to prevent the experiment in the United States, it will be carried out in Mex- ico or in any other country where no interference is offered. Dr. Willard, who said he has froz- en solid and later revived small an- imals over a period of six years in ferers, announced he had brought one monkey from a frozen state last Monday without apparently ill effects. A second monkey died, and a third, Dr. Willard said, still is frozen but is to be revived next week. Dr. Willard insisted he would not proceed with the experiment with- out the presence of at least six doc- tors to make exhaustive physical ex- aminations of Simkhovitch and watch the entire proceeding. Simkhovitch declared he was prompted only by a desire to "do something for humanity for a change." NEW YORK, Aug. 10. - (P) - In a latitude where bananas are seen only on pushcarts and palm trees flourish in hotel-lobby flower pots, members of New York's Latin-American col- ony are energetically engaged in movements aganist homeland govern- ments.. Headquarters against the govern- ment of President Lazaro Cardenas, of Mexico, have been established by Jose Veliz, "revolutionary agent pro- VillarreaL" Gen. Antonio I. Villarreal, whom Veliz represents, is reported in Mex- ico with a price on his head. Veliz asserts that Villarreal has 10,000 followers distributed through- out Mexico. "What we need," de- clares the agent, "is arms and am- munition." Well-Practiced In Technique Veliz is well-practiced in revolu- tionary technique, having joined, at the age of 14, the forces of the late President Francisco Madero. Incognito, but in close contact with Veliz, has been Villarreal's ally, Gen. Pablo Gonzalez, one-time provisional president of Mexico, who recaptured Mexico City from Panco Villa. The A B C Cuban society which overthrew Gerardo Machado, only to have its leadership forced out in turn, maintains headquarters in New York where its leader, Joaquin Mar- Michig~an Drys Launch Drive For Prohibition LANSING, Aug. 10.-(P)-Mich- igan drys, heartened by the contro- versy over present liquor law abuses, outlined today a campaign intended to return the state to the dry column in five years. An intensive campaign to obtain sufficient signatures to a petition for legislative action which would in- crease prohibitions in the present liquor act will be launched Sept 1. Dr. D. L. McBride, Michigan su- perintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, detailed the organization's plans today and declared it stood back of Gov. Fitzgerald in his attempt to remove politics from liquor law en- forcement, clean- up "hole-in-the- wall" drinking places, and deny li- cences to places which contribute to the moral delinquency of youth. "The controversy that John S. McDonald, chairman of the liquor control commission, had with Gov. Fitzgerald over administration of the state's new liquor law has been an in- centive to our cause," declared Mc- Bride. "Conditions surrounding the sale of intoxicants have become rapidly worse, and I can find no evidence that the chairman was campaigning to clean them up. Gov. Fitzgerald, in his recently announced liquor traf- fic reform program, mentioned those reforms we have been most interest- ed in. tinez Saenz, directs undisclosed ac- tivities related to island politics. In view of present conditions, the organization has not revealed its im- mediate plan of political action. Col. Fulgencio Batista, leader of Cuba's military forces, and Martinez Saenz have long been enemies. Ferrara Publishes Magazine Dr. Orestes Ferrara, Machado's secretary of state and former ambas- sador to Washington, and conse-' quently a political opponent of Saenz, has lately interested himself in the publication here of a magazine marked by its attacks on every gov- ernment since Machado. Headquarters of the "Association Pro-Patria," composed of exiles from the twenty-five-year-old dictatorship of President Juan Vicente Gomez, of Venezuela, aims at "overthrowing dictatorship by a revolution of ideals, not force." Hector Gouverneur, a spokesman, says that a study of 65 separate and unsuccessful attempts at armed re- volt in Venezuela have convinced the association of the futility of arms. Business Man in Pro-Patria Active in the "Pro-Patria" is An- tonio Rojas, once a business man of Rochester, N. Y., who charged that last year on a business trip to his homeland he was "kidnaped by se- cret police and placed in solitary confinement for an imagined polit- ical heresy." Angel Morales, former secretary of state of the Dominican Republic, now in New York for "political reasons" has charged President Trujiloo with "dictatorship and political crimes." Morales, however, disclaims any plans for revolution. The "Aprista" movement against the government of Peru is represented in New York but apparently has not engaged in any recent activity.
