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."
