administrative committee of the na
tional Catholic welfare conference
blamed the "unhappy conditions" up
on a divorcement of every day mat
ters frcm morality and religion and
tailed for a rcFtoration of Christian
living as one of the prime essentials
for recovery. "We have brought
about our present unhappy condition
ty divorcing education, industry, poli
tics, businejs and economies from
morality and religion, and by ignor
ing for long decades the innate dig
nity cf man and trampling on his
human rights," the statement said.

Associated Industries Will Seek Funds
for Works Under the Hew
Recovery Act.
Associated Industries of Nebraska,
an organization pledged to campaign
for the federal funds for Nebraska
projects, under President Roosevelt's
53,300,000,000 national recovery act,
was formed Friday afternoon at the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce. About
40 representatives of building indus
tries, manufacturers, chamber of
commerces and other groups attend
ed. The meeting was called by O. H.
Zumwinkel of Lincoln, commission
er of the Nebraska Manufacturers'
association, who was elected its sec
retary. Karl E. Vogel of the Omaha Steel
Works was elected its permanent
chairman.
The name of the organization and
its plan of operation fellows closely
after "Missouri Industries, Inc.,"
which has prepared elaborate plans
for securing federal aid for public
works projects in that state.
Associated Industries of Nebraska
will work in close co-operation with
the trade recovery committee, of
which John W. Towle of Omaha is
chairman. Towle is now in Wash
ington, seeking support for Nebras
ka projects. The new organization
voted to wire Towle of its formation
and action Friday.
Chairman Vogel appointed a com
mittee of three men, George Rass
museen of Omaha, Art Dobson and
Don Price of Lincoln to recommend
a permanent working committee of
possibly 30 members to be chosen
from the various industries and
from all parts of the state.
As soon as the committee of 30
is functioning the group plans to
make up a list of projects, determine
which are eligible to share in the
federal works program, as it now
stands, and to campaign for their in
clusion in the program.
John Latenser jr., architect, spoke
before the group, explaining the pro
visions of the national recovery act
as it now stands.
FATE HAY PAY FOE ITSELF
Chicago. Word's fair dollars in
the cash registers of Chicago business
men and in the vaults of the Cen
tury of Progress exposition itself
gave indications that the 1933 fair,
only twelve days old, would aid in
business recovery and pay for itself.
Railroads, hotels, department stores,
restaurants and scores of related in
dustries declared a Century of Pro
gress had increased their business,
some of them as much as 100 per
cent.
From officials of the fair came de
clarations of satisfaction. Already,
they said, about 800,000 visitors had
paid admission at the gates and then
gone inside to spend a total of $731,
810 for amusements and food. Cash
income for the exposition, including
concessions as well as gate receipts,
therefore has been well over $1,100,-
000 for twelve days, not counting
hundreds of season and souvenir
tickets sold in advance.
APPROVES STIFF SENTENCE
Omaha. Major General Hagood,
Seventh corps army commander,
Tuesday approved sentence of ten
years for a threat to kidnap, imposed
by a courtmartial at Fort Leaven
worth, Kas., in the case of Private
More3 Clayborne.
Clayborne was accused of writing
an unsigned letter to Maj. Samuel G.
Cummins of Fort Leavenworth, in
structing him to place $250 in a cer
tain place at a certain time. If the
instructions were net followed, the
letter said, the writer would "get the
baby," referring to Major Cumming's
one year old child. The letter was
turned over to military police and
Clayborne's arrest followed.
General Hagood said that he ap
proved the sentence because of the
prevalence of kidnaping cf civilian
life, and as a warning to soldiers
not to start any such activity.

Washington, D. C, June 9. Notes
were dispatched tonight to all of
America's debtor nations reminding
them of their payments due next
Thursday. This is a practice that has
been followed previously to all due
dates.
The total due from the 13 nations
will be $144,179,674.
Official silence at the white house,

Paris, June 9. Another French de
fault, affecting the war debt payment
due the United States June 15, be
came evident today as Premier Dal
adier, replying in the chamber of
deputies to interpellations on foreign
policy, avoided any mention of the
debts.
The premier was given two votes
of confidence by the chamber. One
stcod 405 to 190 and the second 413
to 163. The votes backed the gov
ernment's economic policy at the
London parley.
The premier restricted himself to
the government's policies at the world
economic conference opening next
week in London and to the reasons
for Initialing the Mussolini four
power peace pact.
He is leaving for London Sunday
to head the French delegation to the
conference and the chances of the
debts coming up in the chamber are
steadily fading.
France defaulted in the 19-million-debt
payment due the United States
last December. The installment due
June 15 is about 40 million dollars.
The approval of the chamber of depu
ties is necessary before either pay
ment may be made.
No British Decision
London, June 9. The cabinet met
for more than two hours today for
discussion of the war debt question,
but it was understood that the mat
ter was not finally disposed of and
that it still was under consideration.
It is expected that a note embody
ing the view of the British govern
ment on the subject of the June in
stallment of $75,950,000 will be sent
to America over the week-end.

Public Works Bill Dssigned to Start
Industry of Country on a
Speedy Climb.
Washington. A direct offensive
against the depression, is the descrip
tion applied in official sources to the
3.3 billions public works program
which ' i3 to be undertaken almost
with enactment of the legislation by
congress. In contrast to loans thru
the Reconstruction corporation which
have been dribbled out over a period
of many months, the administration
plans to release the new construction
funds so fast that purchasing power
will be shocked into activity. The
artificial buying stimulus, officials
hope, will in turn start industry mov
ing and place workers back in their
normal places.
With this in view, exploratory
work has gone forward to step with
consideration of the legislation by
congress and ten thousand or more
tentative projects are now in the
hands of thoss who will administer
the legislation. Official estimates are
that a billion dollars judiciously
spent to use the maximum in man
power will employ one million per
sons, directly and indirectly, and it
is the hope of the administrators to
have this number at work by Oct. 1.
In addition, officials are envision
ing the return of 2 million men to
normal employment channels by fall
and the view has been expressed that
if jobs for these 3 million can be
obtained the usual fall increase in
business might place as many as 7
million back at work by the end of
the year. The legislation gives the
president and a board he selects al
most unlimited powers in expendi
ture of the money which is to be
raised by issuance of government se
curities.
Except for 400 millions alloted
specifically for grants to states for
highways, the chief executive is al
lowed wide leeway in selecting pro
jects. Provision is made for construc
tion, repair and improvement of
highways and parkways, public build
ings and any publicity owned instru
mentalities; conservation and devel
opment of natural resources, includ
ing control, utilization and purifica
tion of waters, ' construction of sew
age-disposal plants, prevention of soil
or coastal erosion, development of
water power, transmission of electri
cal energy, and construction of river
and harbor improvements and flood
control; construction under public
regulation of low-cost housing and
slum clearance. In his discretion, the
president is also authorized to build
the navy up to the limits of the Lon
don naval treaty, to purchase air
planes for both the navy and the
army and buy army equipment.

TEN SHOT IN MINER FRAY
Springfield, 111. Ten persons were
shot, one fatally, and two others
were injured in a skirmish between
pickets and miners on their way to
work at the Peabody Coal company's
Peerless mine. Governor Horner or
dered mobilization of a company of
national guardsmen here, replacing
troop3 which were withdrawn quiet
ly more than a month ago.
The skirmish occurred near the

ing the past year, members cf the
Progressive Miners of America, were
arrayed against the older union, the
United Mine Workers of America,
which has a contract with the Pea
body company. Chief Beyon said
from 1,000 to 1,500 pickets ambush
ed working miners en route to the
Peerless tipple. Hostilities opened
before 5 a. m. and police restored or
der only when reinforced by three
squads of guardsmen, rushed from
Taylorville, twenty-seven miles away,
where troops have been stationed for
several months. Thomas Urban, a
progressive picket, was shot in the
abdomen and died several hours later.

Senate Action in Creating Fact Find

Attorney General
Attorney General Good, by a light
touch of his pen Thursday, saved
the state $6,000 which the state sen

committee to expend in ferreting out
ways and means of "reducing the
cost an dimproving state government."
He made public his opinion hold
ing that the action of the committee
would be wtihheld legal foundation
and that expenses incurred would be
subject to successful attack in the
courts, "and for that reason we must
hold that the attempt to create this
committee was abortive and ineffec
tual."
It was addressed to Senator Welch
of Milford, who with Senator Green
of Sidney, chairman, and Senator Srb
of Dodge, constituted the committee
appointed by Lieutenant Governor
Jurgensen, all democrats, altho the
seriate resolution calls for a "non

Acting alone, the senate has no au
thority to create a committee with
power to spend funds appropriated
by both houses for legislative ex
penses, the attorney general finds.
The house refused to adopt a joint
resolution, which had been passed by
the senate, creating such committee.
Later the senate amended the joint
resolution, making the resolution its
own, and authorized the appointment
of a committee from the senate to em
