Church: Church to coordinate activities of boys 12 to 21 yean in the Aaronic priesthood work, Sunday school, Boy Scouts, Van. guard movement, M. I.

The criticism is that if the church expects to buihl real manhood in the hoys mainly by such activities,' it is doomed to failure. The most vital and enduring personality traits are built in the bovs at early ages through the environment found in the home and in the play grouqs. The character and life of the father and mother is of paramount importance. To effectively attack the problems of youth, the church must attack the problems of the home and of the religions character of the parents in the home, as well as attack many other problems in the community, school, industry, and church as a whole. mier. The Chinese were still fighting the Invaders desperately along the railway and claimed the Japanese were suffering heavy Profits Tax Out DAT HARRISON meant what he said about altering the revenue bill that was passed by the house. His senate finance committee Is making the changes. By a vote of 17 to 4 It eliminated from the measure the undistributed profits tax principle, substituting therefor a flat corporation income tax of 18 per cent As a further means of stimulating business and investment the committee adopted a provision drastically modifying the capital gains and losses tax. The committee removed capital gains on assets held more than 18 months from the income tax category and substituted Instead a flat rate of 15 per cent; which waa what business and industry wanted.

Opponents of this bin are convinced that it paces the way for a dictatorship in the United States. The measure was sent on to the house, which already has passed bills covering some of its features. There is no certainty, however, that the senate measure win ever be brought to a vote in the house. Chairman OConnor of the rules committee said it should be allowed to slumber peacefully In some pigeonhole. The bin authorizes the President, by executive order, to transfer, reconsolidate, seggroup, regate the whole or any part of or abolish any of the 135 bureaus, agencies, and divisions of government Excepted from this section, however, are the federal reserve board, the corps of engineers of the United States army and the independent and regulatory establishments, such as the board of tax appeals, the communications commission, the federal trade commission, the interstate commerce commission, and the national labor relations board. It abolishes the civil service commission as now constituted, and the general accounting office.

Styles Bridges, the New Hampshire Republican, in a radio debate declared the administration was trying to obscure the charges of scandal within the TVA by forcing the inquiry to cover the private utility angle. "The administrations strategy has been to cover up TVA dirt by a phoney counter-attache k, said. He was answered vigorously by Sen. Lister B. Hill of Alabama. Legality of President Roosevelts action in ousting Chairman Morgan from the TVA board is still a matter that the courts probably will be called on to settle. Mr. Roosevelt removed Morgan after receiving from Acting Attorney General Jack-so- n an opinion that he possessed the required authority. He reported the action to congress and said he had named Harcourt Morgan chairman. Reasons for the removal of A. E. Morgan as given by the President were that he had made grave and libelous charges against his colleagues and refused to substantiate them at the White House hearings, Fuel from Yearly Crops, Prediction of a Chemist - The laboratories at the chemists will solve the problem of the future at the world's power, according to Dr. Frank C.

Goering said he had intrusted the task at removing the Jews to and that it must be accomplished quietly and mercifully by legal means. There was great rejoicing throughout Germany when Cardinal Innetzer, archbishop of Vienna, issued a solemn declaration urging the people of Austria, most of whom are Catholics, to vote te the union with Germany at the plebiscite on April 10. The document was read in all Catholic churches. It warmly praised the Nasi rulers and pledged allegiance to Germany. This stand of the Catholic hierarchy made certain an overwhelming victory Hitler in the plebiscite. It also led a new the Nazi chiefs to hope accord with the Vatican.

Declaring his belief that peace will be maintained, Chamberlain said: I cannot imagine any events In Europe which would change the fundamental basis of British foreign policy, which is the maintenance and preservation of peace.
