Denver Meeting Suggests
Federal Commission to
“Deal With Evil.”
By the Associated Press.
DENVER, May 30 —Qualified opposi
tion to a referendum on repeal of the
eighteenth amendment and crltlelam of
motion pictures was voiced in a com
mittee report today to the General As
sembly of the Presbyterian Church In
the United States.
The Committee on Christian Educa
tion, which made the report, asserted
the “vast majority” of motion picture
films were unsatisfactory and suggested
that Congress "create a Federal com
mission that shall deal with the evil
at its source.”
Concerning a proposed prohibition
referendum, the committee declared:
‘ We are opposed to a vote on repeal
which provides no constructive substi
tute, in the conviction that mere repeal
will bring back the saloon.
“We are opposed to State control,
holding with the Wickersham report in
this respect. We are opposed to the
Government's going into the liquor
business, refusing to endure the sight
of the American flag floating over the
legalized liquor traffic.”
The work of Col. Amos W. W. Wood
cock, prohibition administrator, and his
department was Indorsed.
The committee recommended public
officials confine their radio broadcast
ing messages in the interest of public
welfare to the six secular days of the
week, erreept in great emergencies.
Movements to oppose a wide-open
commercial Sunday were indorsed.

movement, named "the People’s ticket,"

O’Brien, candidate for Governor. He
has been defense attorney in more than
200 murder trials.
"We are certain of polling a lot of
votes,” he said, "and so are third parties
in other States, if there are strong
enough tickets. This should be a third

KANSAN IN SENATE RACE
WILL PRESS DEBTS PLAN
Isely Bases Campaign on Proposal
to Scale Down Obligations of
Nations and Individuals.
By the Associated Press.
DODGE CITY, Kans., May 30 —
Charles C. Isely seeks nomination as
United States Senator from Kansas be
cause he believes debt adjustment is a
good policy both for individuals and na
tions.
A Republican from the Western part of
the State. Isely has said he prefers to
stick to his grain and lumber business,
but can find no one to sponsor his
"debt” plan.
In explaining his position, Isely uses
as an example a fanner who owes him
money and can’t pay. Rather than de
mand payment, Isely suggests the bet
ter plan is to visit the farmer, study
his situation and reduce the debt to
proportions he probably can pay. Thus,
he says, the farmer is encouraged, part
of the debt is collected and the farmer
remains a friend Instead of becoming
an enemy.
“That applies to the internatiaflftl
situation.” says Isely. ”1 am dead
against that high tariff.”

Display Is Seen
Over Cleveland
By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, May 30.—A dis
play of northern lights which
Prof. J. J Nassau of the ob
servatory at Case School of Ap
plied Science described as “the
most unusual sight of Its kind”
was observed here last night and
early tcday.
Prof. Nassau said a large spot
on the sun may have been re
sponsible for the Aurora Borealis.
“Until recently,” he said, “there
has been no spot on the sun.
However, In the last few days a
sun spot at least 22,000 miles In I
diameter has been noticeable.
This may explain the unusual
sight in the northern sky."
