Church Council is for Limiting Size of Family Representatives of Many Religions .Bodies for Birth Control Legal Bans Opposed New York The "careful and re strained" use of measures to regulate the size of families was endorsed by an organization of representatives of twenty-seven American Protestant churches having a total membership of approximately 23.000,000. The endorsement was given in a majority report on birth control submitted by the committee on marriage and the home of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. It was issued with the approval of the council's administrative committee. The committee agreed that, be cause of economic considerations and. in many cases, the welfare of the mother, "there can be no question as to the necessity for some sort of effective control of the size of the family and the spacing of children." Legal Bans Opposed. The committee agreed that, what ever the final decision of the church may be, "the church should not seek to impose its point of view as to the use of contraceptives upon the pub lic by legislation or any either form of coercion, and especially should not seek to prohibit physicians from im parting such information to those who in the judgment of the medical profession are entitled to receive it." A minority refused to sanction the use of contraceptive measu-es and called upon the church, "when con trol of conception is necessary, to uphold the standard of abstinence as the idea!." The committee consists of twenty eight members, among whom are sev eral distinguished clergymen and a number of influential laymen, includ ing George W. Wickersham and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, jr.. twenty-two signed the majority report, three signed the minority report and thre? expressed no judgment either way. Chairman With Minority. The crmmittee's chairman, the Rev. Mr. Howard Chandler Robbins. professor at General Theological seminary and for many years dean of the cathedral of St. John the Di vine, signed the minority report, to gether with Mrs. Rohert E. Speer. president of the national hoard of the Young Women's Christian asso ciation, and Mrs. Orin R. Judd, presi dent of the Council of Women for Home Missions. The three who signed neither re port were: Dr. Ben R. Lacy, presi dent of Union Theological seminary. Richmond. Ya. : Mrs. W. A. Newell of Greensboro, N. C chairman of the bureau of social service of the Women's Ifisstonal Council of the Methodist Episcopal church. South: and Bishop Charles K. Hilbcrt, suf fragan bishop of New York. The majority report opens with the statement "the majority of the committee holds that the careful and restrained use of controceptives by married people is valid and moral." Bishop Depresses View. "They take this position," the ma jority repert continues, "because they believe that it is important to pro vide for the proper spacing of chil dren, the control of the size of the family, and the protection of moth ers and children, and because inter course between mates, when an ex pression of their spiritual union and affection, is ri.ht in itself." The prcmouncement on birth con trol was deprecated in a statement Dy the Right Kev. John J. Dunn, vi car general, bishop auxiliary of New Fork. "The essential difference between the Catholic teaching . . . and that contained in the statement of tho federal council," he said, "is that according to the former, controcep tion is intrinsicallv wrong, wrong in itself, and therefore, can be justi fied by no set of circumstances what ever." Lutheran Gives Answer. Declaring that "no Lutheran ap pears among the signers of the state ment nor among the members of the committee on marriage and the home," the national Lutheran coun cil made public a comment on the report by the Rev. F. H. Knubel, president of the United States Luth eran Church of America. "It is of prime significance," Dr. Knubel said, "that the present agi tation for birth control occurs at a period which is notorious for loose ness in sexual morality. This fact creates suspicion as to the motives for the agitation and should warn true minded men and women against the surrender of themselves as tools for unholy purposes." State Jour nal. 7 BALDWIN SCORES VICTORY London A. Duff Copeor. Lady Di ana Manners' husband. Won a by election in the St. George's division of Mayfair. polling 17,242 votes against 11,532 for Eir Ernest Pet ter, running as an independent con servative. It was a victory for Stan ley Baldwin, whose leadership of the conservative party had been chal lenged by the Beaverbrook and Roth ermere Press, supporting Sir Ernest. The eiection had focussed the atten tion of the whole nation and not the least interesting of its features was the fact that the servant vote was regarded as likely to determine the result, since in Mayfair the servants outnumber the masters by a consider able margin.

EDUCATORS FEELING PINCH Chicago Rapidly increasing en rollments along with practically sta tionary budgets have created an "em barrassing situation" for educators. Merle Prunty, president of the North Central Association of Cedlege and Secondary Schools, said in his annual address. The result, he added, is a nonular demand for reduction of teachers' salaries. Such action, he said, should lie taken only as a last resort and flnaiu ial deficiencies should be made up either by increas ed incomes or reductions in other school operating expenses. Enrollments in secondary schools in the north central territory. Prun ty said, have doubled in the last six years, while enrollments at colleges and universities have practically doubled in ten years. Meanwhile, however, no provision has been made for increasing budgets with the re sult that a financial crisis faces edu cation. FOR SALE Red Clover seed for per bushel.

MORE ROAD FOR LESS MONEY The organized farmers of the I'm' ted States have, for several years, been making a drive to obtain oo roads for themselves. They have pointed out that at present less Ih five per cent of farmers have access to roads that can be relied upon at all times of the year and under all conditions. On the other hand, public expendi tures have been increasing alarming ly, and businesses and citizens, in cluding farmers, are seeking ways to curtail governmental expt use. Under modern conditions, two traf fic lanes are necessary. The problem is. then, how to get more read for less monev. This, according to Ber nard E. Gray of the Asphalt Insti tute, can be achieved by the use of low cost local materials top-soil, sand-clay, shale, cinders, crushed stone, and so on. It is true that ex periments in the past with these ma terials have not been wholly success ful. But in recent years engineers have developed bituminous treat ments for such surfaces that prevent dust and mud. reduce wear to the minimum and Kive smooth, non-skid ; roadways. Every community which seeks good roads and that, it is safe to say. in cludes a majority of American com munities should investigate the pos sibilities of scientifically treated, low-cost road materials. Only by us ing them can full-width, weather proof, f irm-to-market roads be built without inflating the tax rate.
