A "five year plan" for revival of business by a drastic but temporary fiscal in flation was commended to congress today with the unanimous approval of the faculty of economics at the University of Chicago. The 12 economists, answering the query of a house military aftairs committee member concerning the wisdom of soldier bonus payments. threw aside the bonus plan as "the most objectionable of all available devices for releasing purchasing pow er." "We are persuaded," they report ed, "that automatic adjustments in the economic situation have already proceeded to a stage where infla tionary expenditures would be hand somely rewarded in greater produc tion, larger employment and higher tax revenues." The professors advised that prices be raised by the stimulus of generous federal expenditures financed with out rrrrt in taios on r-nmrnnrl 1 1 i?s or transactions. 1 hey suggested heavy contribution toward relief of distress and appropriations for pub lic improvements, provided the pro jects can be "started quickly and op portunely stopped." These expendi Hires would be financed by large scale sale of government bonds to the federal reserve banks or by Issuance of greenbacks. "In . flatory measures, in what ever form," the memorandum read, "will probably accelerate for a time the export of gold, but this strain we may well be able to endure until revival of business is assured. Do mestic hoarding of gold, on the oth er hand, might force us to suspen sion cf our currency laws; and thi possibility dictates caution as to tne technique of inflation. The problem is simply that of selecting the pro cedure which will be least alarm ing." The greenback issue must be ruled out, but the economists said, unless the nation is ready trv abandon the gold standard if necessary, but they expressed little fear of this "remote possibility." adding: "The supposed ly awful consequences of departure from goid are, as England has shown us so clearly, nothing but fantastic illusions."

A campaign to pre vent postmasters from engaging in political activities and to cut off the pay of . Irving Glover, second as sistant postmaster general, was open ed in the senate today by Senator King, Utah. In two amendments he proposed to the pendny treasury post offico supply bill, King asked that no funds go to pay the salaries of Glover or of postmasters who mix ed in political activities while in of fice. In suzmitting his proposals, King aid Glover recently told a Missour postmaster's convention in effect "to actively engage in supporting tbe president, telling them if they did not do so, he would be in Washing ton in a few days and would be glad to receive their resignations." Glov er's resignation was demanded on the senate floor only a few days ago by Senator Xorris as a result of the speech. Democratic Leader Robinson of Arkansas called Glover's state ment "a disgrace." The postoffice executive also was assailed in the house. Kiner said the senate might not be able to remove Glover from office, but it could see he received no pay. In introducing his other measure King referred to "a purported state ment by Postmaster General Brown," In which King asserted Brown had said "postmasters might engage in political natters out of official hours." The Utah senator said he could rot conceive" of the department be ing "used for political purposes as it had been for some time in the past and it is evidently intended by the administration that it should be used in the future."

The attitude of the Methodist Episcopal church toward divorce was liberalized when the general conference sanctioned as grounds for dissolution "vicious con ditions which thru mental or phy sical cruelty or physical peril" in validate the marriage vows. Tito change from adultery as the sole grounds, the second in almost a cen tury and a half, was approved in the face of weak opposition. G. Bormley Oxnam, president of Del'aum university, replied to the dissenters with the statement that the church was deluding itself It it believed regulations would hinder divorces. The conference also deleted from tho burial service the phrase of ashes to ashes, dust to dust," from ! the marriage service "with my worldly goods I thee endow," and! from the sacrament of the Lord s Supper the words "wine in every instance except the prayer or conse cration. Berton ( Kile of Providence, R. offered an amendment to the re port of the committee on temper ance, prohibition and public. The Methodist general conference continuing its economy legislation, directed a 16 percent reduction in' salaries for both domestic and mis- j sionarv bishops. The reductions were approved in a recommendation, which is accepted as mandatory. The recommendation, which will be put Into effect by the Methodist book concern which administers the Epis copal fund, cuts the salaries of ef fective bishops from $7,200 to ?G, 000, and the salaries of missionary bishops from $6,000 to 85,000 an nually. Only one delegate opposed the 16 percent cut. The legislation reducing Episcopal salaries also provided for cuts in allowances for Episcopal residences and the pension of retired bishops. The residence allowance was re duced from $1,500 and $2,000 tc $1,250 and $1,800. The pension al lowance was reduced from $3,000 to $2,500. The conference restored the al lowance for Episcopal office ex panses to $1,S00, the present rate. after an attempt had been made to reduce it to $1,500. The ?,500 al lowance to the widows "of retired bishops also was ordered continue.

The drive for a sen ate test cn resubmission of the pro hibition issue moved rapidly for ward Tuesday with national political leaders looking to the prospective de cision as an answer to their plat form troubles. Senator Bingham of fered a repeal resolution which he left upon the table with a view to bringing it up for a roll call at the first opportunity. Senator Blaine called a special meeting of the pro hibition controlled Judiciary sub committee for Thursday in an effort to get a report on the many pro posals for repeal and modification of the eighteenth amendment before it. Meanwhile, it became known that both President Hoover and national dt mocratic leaders are giving atten tion to the prohibition plank to be put in the party platforms. The president was represented by repub lican advisers as standing firmly by enforcement of the eighteenth amend ment, but studying an expression by the party in recognition of the prin ciple of a referendum. An indication of tho attitude of democratic prohibitionists on the referendum and repeal subject may come Thursday from tho decision of the judiciary fubiominittce. Senators Walsh of Montana and Dill of Wash ington, democratic supporters of the nomination of Governor Hoosevelt, are members of tho subcommittee, and both are prohii)itioui:-ts. sen ator Borah, who wrote tho l'J2S re publican prohibition plank and Who is believed to have been approached by t'ne administration regarding this year's declaration, is also a member of the subcommittee. Borah is a prohibition leader but has declared a willingness to meet the issue in a vote in the senate. Senaiois Blaine and Ilebert, the other members of the committee, are antipi ohibitiou. Th national convention in all its details, including a prohibition plank, was discussed by President Hoover and three party leaders for nearly three hours. Postmaster G2.: eral Brown, Mr. Hoover's precoa vention campaign ir.anagar; James Francis Burke, general counsel ot the republican national committee, and Charles I. Hilles, republican national committeeman from New York, went over the convention situ ation at the white house, remaining closeted with the president until v.vil after 7 o'clock. As they left, the' three conferees taid almost simul taneously to inquiring newspaper men that "details vt the Chicago convention" had hen discus.-ed. Ask ed if prohibition had been talked over, Burko replied: '"Everything was di.-cu-sed." Both Blown and Ilillcs echoed this statement, said no final decisions had rcachcJ.
