COUNCIL DELAY ON BUILDING CODE ASSAILED AGAIN Special Interests Hit by Citizens' Leader. Howard Van S. Tracy, president of the Citizens' association, renewedhis charges yesterday that special inter- ests are blocking action on the city's new building code. A draft of the code, prepared after ten years of study, was presented to the city coun- cil 16 months ago. In a speech before the city council last Thursday Ald. James J". McDer- mott [14th], chairman of the build- ing code subcommittee, defended his committee against criticism for the delay, declaring that any evidence of special interests holding up the code should be presented to the stale's attorney for investigation, No Evidence Expected. "If, as we believe, the passage of the new building code has been blocked for years by special inter- ests," Mr. Tracy said yesterday, "we are not so naive as to suppose that evidence would have been left lying around intangible enough to take be- fore the state's attorney. "The attempts to block a new code, while obvious to the initiated, have been subtle and difficult to expose, taking the guise of protecting the public from the unanimous conclu- sions of experts, in petty wrangling over minor provisions. Hits McDermott Stand. "Mr. McDermott does not seem to like the new code. He insinuates it to be a rich man's code and he is opposing the experts, the civic or- ganizations and theinformed public who are all united in agreeing with Mayor Kelly that speedis essential and that the new code should be adopted without delay."

[Chicago 'l'ribune Press Serv lee.] Washington, D. C., May 29.-[Spe- ciaLJ-Representative Robert F. Rich [R., Pa.I, tonight charged Post- master General James A. Farley is still at work, through state lieuten- ants, perfecting politicalmobilization ofthe country's 45,329 postmasters and their 200,000 subordinates. Richdeclared hewill take the floor of the house Thursday to demanda formalinvestigation of allpolitical activities of postmasters under the Farley mobilization. At the same time hewill formally petition Attor- ney General Cummings toenforce existing laws against political activ- ity in the postoffice department. The demand will be based on a photostatic copy of a letter to Penn- sylvania postmasters on the station- ery of the Democratic state com- mittee. Signed By State Chairman. The letter, signed by State Demo- cratic Chairman David L. Lawrence opens: "Postmaster General James A. Farley, United States Senator Joseph F. Guffey andmyself are interested in havingyou becomea member of the National Association of Postmas- ters and the Pennsylvania state association ofpostmasters." Itstates that postmasters' interests can beserved by a strong organiza- tion and mentions that Lawrence has been advised that bills for dues have been sent all postmasters. H How does it comeabout that the stale chairman of the Democratic committee has been advised that a bill for membership dues has been sent to each postmaster in Pennsyl- vania'?" Richasked. "What legiti- mate interest can theseDemocratic leaders have in a 'strong organiza- tion' of thepostmas tel's? Sees Political Mobilization. "Under what authority is the name of the postmaster general of the United States used in this effort to effect political mobilization of the entire postal service'? Why was such a letter sent to the postmasters of Pennsylvania one week before the recen t special congressional election in the 18th district onMay 11? "Prima facie evidence of the utter demoralization of the federal civil service under Postmaster General Farley comes to congress at regular intervals. In the past such evidence always has been dismissed as due to a 'stenographic error' or to the activity of some 'overzealous indi- vidual.'

BY SIGRID SCHULTZ. f(:hiCMgO'.l'dbHne Pl'I'SS Service. I BERLIN, May 29.-The Nazis' cam- paign against the Roman Catholic church continued unabated today. WhileAmerican Catholics continued tobe the main target forthe Nazi propaganda guns, the Christian Science church was also attacked. The obvious effort of Paul Joseph Goebbels in his speech last nightto link Catholics and Protestants ina common picture as traitors toReich- fuehrer Hitler's government brought asharp retort from the Rev. Martin Niemoeller, wartime submarine corn- manderand leader of the Confessional [Evangelical Lutheran] movement. The Confessionals oppose Nazi domi- nation of church affairs. Hits War on Christians. At a meeting in Spandau, a Berlin SUburb, the Rev. Mr. Niemoeller de- clared: "One is driven to the conclusion that a majority of the German peo- ple do not want the Christian church. Look at our press. The slogan ofthe former war chief, Gen. Erich Luden- dorf, 'The German nation must be freed from Christ,'seemsto be thc unwritten headline over every news- paper printed in Germany today. "The racial aims of the Nazi party may beadmirable, but they can never be substituted for the gospelifthe churchis to remain a church inany- thing but name," The Rev. Mr. Niemoeller read spe- cial prayers for Reichsfuehrer Hiller to stress that he is loyal tothe fuehrer. Literaturs Is Barred. The Christian Science church was forbidden today to sell its literature here. The order follows the prohibi- tionofcollection boxes which the church formerly placed near the en- trance of meeting halls. None of the proceeds from the sale of Christian Science literature in Ger- many was transmitted to America, The money was used in Germany to cover church expenditures. The new order, therefore, is considered a po- liticalmeasure. Christian Science has been attacked violently intheanti-Semitic publi- cation Judenkenner and in the Blitz a Nazimagazine, which describedth~ church as an ally ofthe Frecmasons, abhorred and forbiddenby the Nazis. Cardinal Mundelein Attacked. The Arbeitsman, official organ of the Labor Service, denounced Amer icanCatholics under the headline: "Nobody can serva two masters-God andmammon." It tried to prove: "That not only something, but every- thing isrotten in the state of Mundo- lein.' The Chicago cardinal was called a "dollar maker in priest's garb." lOardinal M'undelein incu1"red thc i1'e of the Nazis because of his r'e- cent spccch in which hc rejcrreti to Icoich.stuchrer Hitler as an " Aust1'ian paper hanger, and a POOl' one at that" and to Gocbbcls as <crookod." He also attacked recent: trials of Catholic clerics in Germans) on im- moralits] cnaroee.) A cartoon illustrating the article in the Arbeitsman portrayed scales sus- pendedfrom a bolshevik sickle and hammer. One scale bore a church while the other was weighted dOWI~ by money bags which were being em- bracedbya priest with a bishop's scepter in his hand. German Envoy Gets" Vacation." Catholic bishops throughout Ger- many today called upon Catholic youths toattend special youth servo ices on Sunday, June 6, to demon- strate their faith, The Vatican and the German gov- ernment will not break off relations immediately as a result of Goebbels' onslaught against the Catholic church, but the German government ~as instructed Dr. Diego von Bergen, ItS ambassador to the Vatican to "take a long vacation." The Vatican ordered Msgr.Cesare Orsenigo, its nuncio in Berlin, to return to Rome and report on thesituation in Ger- many, Both the Vatican and the German government refused to reveal the date their official representatives will resume duty, A Berlin court today sent cnced 42 "earnest Bible students," includ- ing three women, to prison terms ranging from four to eighteen months for failing to obey orders which dissolved their organization.

C., May 29.-[Spe- cial.]-President Roosevelt yesterday vetoed as discriminatory a bill ex- tending for the fourth time the date on which the term insurance written for soldiers and sailors under the war risk insurance act must be con- verted into permanent insurance. In his veto message the President found that the original time for con- version, established by the act as five years after the proclamation of the en!': of the year had been extended in 1927 for one year; again in 1928 to 1932 and again in 1932 for another five years, each date being the second of July. "It is not bcl ieved that any further dclay in the adoption of an insurance program is waranted or ultimately will prove profitable to the individuals concerned," the message said, " The lower initial premium rates on term insurance policies arc beguiling and the holders thereof should realize that the time must ultimately come when such charges, which keep ever increasing, will become so great as to compel numbers of veterans to drop their insurance when it will prcbahly be most needed."

The President is expected to ask for a congressional investigation of "wealthy tax dodgers."

COUNCIL DELAYON BUILDING CODEASSAILED AGAIN

Special Interests Hit byCitizens' Leader.

Howard Van S. Tracy, president ofthe Citizens' association, renewed hischarges yesterday that special inter-ests are blocking action on the city'snew building code. A draft of thecode, prepared after ten years ofstudy, was presented to the city coun-cil 16 months ago.In a speech before the city council

last Thursday Ald. James J". McDer-mott [14th], chairman of the build-ing code subcommittee, defended hiscommittee against criticism for thedelay, declaring that any evidenceof special interests holding up thecode should be presented to thestale's attorney for investigation,

No Evidence Expected."If, as we believe, the passage of

the new building code has beenblocked for years by special inter-ests," Mr. Tracy said yesterday, "weare not so naive as to suppose thatevidence would have been left lyingaround intangible enough to take be-fore the state's attorney."The attempts to block a new code,

while obvious to the initiated, havebeen subtle and difficult to expose,taking the guise of protecting thepublic from the unanimous conclu-sions of experts, in petty wranglingover minor provisions.

Hits McDermott Stand."Mr. McDermott does not seem to

like the new code. He insinuates itto be a rich man's code and he isopposing the experts, the civic or-ganizations and the informed publicwho are all united in agreeing withMayor Kelly that speed is essentialand that the new code should beadopted without delay."

INSISTS FARLEYPLAYS POLITICSIN POSTAL FIELD

Rep.Rich Will DemandInvestigation.

[Chicago 'l'ribune Press Serv lee.]Washington, D. C., May 29.-[Spe-

ciaLJ-Representative Robert F. Rich[R., Pa.I, tonight charged Post-master General James A. Farley isstill at work, through state lieuten-ants, perfecting political mobilizationof the country's 45,329 postmastersand their 200,000 subordinates.Rich declared he will take the floor

of the house Thursday to demand aformal investigation of all politicalactivities of postmasters under theFarley mobilization. At the sametime he will formally petition Attor-ney General Cummings to enforceexisting laws against political activ-ity in the postoffice department.The demand will be based on a

photostatic copy of a letter to Penn-sylvania postmasters on the station-ery of the Democratic state com-mittee.

Signed By State Chairman.The letter, signed by State Demo-

cratic Chairman David L. Lawrenceopens:"Postmaster General James A.

Farley, United States Senator JosephF. Guffey and myself are interestedin having you become a member ofthe National Association of Postmas-ters and the Pennsylvania stateassociation of postmasters."It states that postmasters' interests

can be served by a strong organiza-tion and mentions that Lawrence hasbeen advised that bills for dues havebeen sent all postmasters.

H How does it come about that thestale chairman of the Democraticcommittee has been advised that abill for membership dues has beensent to each postmaster in Pennsyl-vania'?" Rich asked. "What legiti-mate interest can these Democraticleaders have in a 'strong organiza-tion' of the postmas tel's?

Sees Political Mobilization."Under what authority is the name

of the postmaster general of theUnited States used in this effort toeffect political mobilization of theentire postal service'? Why was sucha letter sent to the postmasters ofPennsylvania one week before therecen t special congressional electionin the 18th district on May 11?"Prima facie evidence of the utter

demoralization of the federal civilservice under Postmaster GeneralFarley comes to congress at regularintervals. In the past such evidencealways has been dismissed as due toa 'stenographic error' or to theactivity of some 'overzealous indi-vidual.'"Whatever the explanation offered,

however, the deadly work of t he Far-ley spoilsmen continues unchecked."

BERLIN, May 29.-The Nazis' cam-paign against the Roman Catholicchurch continued unabated today.While American Catholics continuedto be the main target for the Nazipropaganda guns, the ChristianScience church was also attacked.The obvious effort of Paul Joseph

Goebbels in his speech last night tolink Catholics and Protestants in acommon picture as traitors to Reich-fuehrer Hitler's government broughta sharp retort from the Rev. MartinNiemoeller, wartime submarine corn-mander and leader of the Confessional[Evangelical Lutheran] movement.The Confessionals oppose Nazi domi-nation of church affairs.

Hits War on Christians.At a meeting in Spandau, a Berlin

SUburb, the Rev. Mr. Niemoeller de-clared:"One is driven to the conclusion

that a majority of the German peo-ple do not want the Christian church.Look at our press. The slogan of theformer war chief, Gen. Erich Luden-dorf, 'The German nation must befreed from Christ,' seems to be thcunwritten headline over every news-paper printed in Germany today."The racial aims of the Nazi party

may be admirable, but they can neverbe substituted for the gospel if thechurch is to remain a church in any-thing but name,"The Rev. Mr. Niemoeller read spe-

cial prayers for Reichsfuehrer Hillerto stress that he is loyal to thefuehrer.

Literaturs Is Barred.The Christian Science church was

forbidden today to sell its literaturehere. The order follows the prohibi-tion of collection boxes which thechurch formerly placed near the en-trance of meeting halls.None of the proceeds from the sale

of Christian Science literature in Ger-many was transmitted to America,The money was used in Germany tocover church expenditures. The neworder, therefore, is considered a po-litical measure.Christian Science has been attacked

violently in the anti-Semitic publi-cation Judenkenner and in the Blitza Nazi magazine, which described th~church as an ally of the Frecmasons,abhorred and forbidden by the Nazis.

Cardinal Mundelein Attacked.The Arbeitsman, official organ of

the Labor Service, denounced American Catholics under the headline:"Nobody can serva two masters-Godand mammon." It tried to prove:"That not only something, but every-thing is rotten in the state of Mundo-lein.' The Chicago cardinal wascalled a "dollar maker in priest'sgarb."
