PRIEST SCORES UNION CRITICS
-0-
Detroit, Mich., Dec. A — (US)—
Vigorous denial that his “National
Union for Social Justice” is under
Catholic domination was broadcast
today by the Rev. Father Charles
E. Coughlin. He said, from the
Shrine of the Little Flower:
"It has been reported to me that
the National Union for Social Jus-
tice has been characterized as a
Catholic organization whose sole
purpose is to dig a tunnel from
Rome to 'Washington for the pope.
'It were better that God should
silence my tounge that I be party
to such a miscarriage of social jus-
tice."
Although ‘he did not state, the
number of memberships enrolled in
the organization, Father Coughlin
expressed optimism for its future.
He declared:
“I am not worried whether or not
we will have five million members,
These past two weeks have indi-
cated that our membership will sur-
pass that number.”
He iterated the long list of prin-
ciples of the organization he orig-
inated and sponsored.

POLISH CHURCH BEING
RESTORED
Warsaw. — The government has
appropriated a large sum for the
restoration of the first collegiate
church in Poland, located on the
River Bzura, in the Diocese of Lodz.
Built in 1140 on field stones and in
the Roman style, it sheltered within
its walls many Polish kings and
princes. Religious and political con
grasses were held there, among them
the famous synod in 1180.

TESTS SHOW REAL *
BLOOD ON TUNIC
Paris. — While the Holy Tunic
of Argenteuil was on display last
spring for the veneration of the
faithful, some scholars took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to pro-
ceed with a scientific study of this
precious relic, making use of the
most modem methods. The re-
sults obtained by the use of infra-
| r/d rays are reported as tending
to prove that the Holy Tunic m-
1 deed bears the stains of the blood
I of Christ. Heretofore, it has been
exceedingly difficult to trace ex-
actly the bloody imprints on a tex-
ture that is about 2,000 years old.
Thanks to the investigations of
a scientist who made use of the
ultra-red and ultra-violet rays, a
number of blood stains have been
revealed on the garment. Under
this light the somber shade of the
cloth was brightened considerably
and the traces of blood, which re-
mained dark, were easily discerni-
ble. The results were tested on
the body of a man about 6 feet, 10
inches toll — the approximate
height of Christ as computed from
the Holy Shroud of Turin.
The blood stains correspond ex-
actly to the anatomical projections,
the scholars report.
The scientific investigation has
not been completed, but so fa£ as
it has gone it is favorable to the
historic tradition that since the time
of Charlemagne the Basilica of Ar-
genteuil has possessed the Reamless
tunic woven by the Blessed Virgin
and impregnated with the redeeming
Blood of her Son.
Cells Killed, Good
Flesh Unhurt
London, Dec. 6. —(AP)—Discovery
of a serum which lulls cancer cells
after they have been removed from
the human body, and does no in-
jury to healthy human tissue so
removed, was announced here today
by Dr. Thomas Lumsden, director
of the London Cancer Research
laboratories.
Lumsden, one of the best known
among conservative cancer scien-
tists, said the serum cannot at pres-
ent be used on human beings. He
reported his discovery to the court
of governors of the London hospital.

Q. Are women permitted to sing
in church choirs?
A. — Women are not permitted
to sing in the official church choir,
which is situated in the sanctuiy.
The choir in the loft, located in
the rear of most churches is con-
sidered a part of the congregation,
where women are allowed to sing.
In many instances it is difficult to
organize a male choir that will give
fionor and glory to God and increase
the devotion of the people. In
such cases women or mixed choir is
permitted.
Q. — I havS heard the expression
“Living Catheehism” what is t?
Can I obtain one?
A. — “Living Catechism” is an ex
prassion used to designate the ex-
amble of true Christian life, by
which we teach others the religious
and moral truths. It is more in-
structive and more impressive that
the study of the book called Ca-
techism of the Catholic religion. All
of us have an influence on other
people’s lives not so much by what
we Mil them as by how we Mve. Jo
really, each of us is a living eateeb-
Q. — We are told that the devil
can tempt us, but cannot make us
■in; then who or what can?
A.— Our body, the world, and the'
devil can tempt us, or entice us to
evil; but only our will can choose
to do evil or to sin. To be tempted
is not a sin, but to invite temptation
or yield to it, is a sin. Even Christ
was tempted, but was not forced in-
to sin. We ourselves by our free
will can make us sin.
Q. — When are the ftesta of Ste.
Martha and Elsie celebrated?
A. — The feast of St. Martha is
celebrated July 29. There is no
saint by the name of Elsie. Per-
haps the name is a contraction of
Elizabeth, whose feast is celebrated
Nov. 19, and another saint Eliza-
beth on the 8th of July.

The Two-Bale Exemption
Says President Roosevelt:
“If the Bankhead act is continued in effect for
another year it is my purpose to recommend to the
congress an amedment granting an exemption for the
full amount of his base production to each farmer who
has an established base production of not more than
two bales of cotton.”
The president evidently intends that this year’s reduc-
tion plan be continued next year.
As a new relief, the small farmers with a crop of no
more than two bales, are offered exemption from the cotton
law tax.
This, according to the report, would exempt 600,000 far-
mers with a total of 700,000 bales of cotton — “a mere drop
:n a bucket.”
Naturally Uie president has to depend on his advisors,
and somebody gave him wrong advice. What i3 a two-bale
exemption?
But you can see who is talking to the president.
It is not the voice of the small farmers that is reach-
ing tho chief executive.
If the present plan is to stay, then all the injustice of
this year will inevitably be repeated next year.
All fanners — except those with no more than a two-
bale crop — would be reduced according to the crop.
No regard would be given to each one’s past reduction.
The diversified farmers again would suffer and the
commercial planters would profit by it.
The diversifying counties such as Lavaca, Fayette, Whar-
ton, Austin, Colorado, etc., would again each lose hundreds of
thousands of dollars due to this discrimination.
The protests loud this year would be even louder next
year.
The proposal of the two-bale exemption is simply ridicu-
lous — if not insulting to the small farmer.
Those who so advise the president are not doing the
president nor the farmer any good service.
The small farmers are not asking for favors.
The plan of cotton reduction must be fair to the majority
of small farmers — not only to a few big planters.
The only fair and practical plan is the reduction accord-
ing to cultivated land.
Let the law tell you what proportion of cultivated
land you may plant In cotton, then levy a heavy enough
tax on the excess acreage to make the unlimited plant-
ing unprofitable.
Without such tax the law is worthless.
Otherwise while some of you reduce by the contracts,
others are free to plant more. That happened this year. It
will happen again unless the plan is changed.
Vote for the cotton law Dec. 14th, then meet during
this month and send a petition to your congressman
and senator asking that the cotton law be amended to
allow a reduction based on cultivated acreage and
not on the crop.
Somehow the experts in Washington can not get away
from the idea of reduction according to the crop.
Somehow they can not hear you, the small farmers, but
they seem to hear the big boys clearly enough.
Do not be discouraged but fight!
Justice must win at the end.

A stirring appeal was composed at the “Camp of Volunteers,”
W. H. Wharton added his fiery letter to it and had it printed an hand-
bills by the “Texas Republican” in Brazoria. Every man was urged
to repair to Gonzales to join “The Army of the People.” He sent also
a letter to the “Committee of Safety” at Nacogdoches, to San Augus-
tine, and even to NatcMteehes in Louisiana to be printed in the news-
papers of the United States.
Austin sent Johnson and Baker to the district of Nacogdoches and
a committee there worked hard to get horses and equipment for the
army. Only about three months ago Houston was hooted down with
his ideas of war, now the same persons were wilder about It than Hous-
ton. Only the settlers along the Sabine were irresponsive.
In their session in Nacogdoches the “Committee of Safety" appoint-
ed Sam Houston tire Commander-in-chief of the forces of that depart-
ment, “to do all things in his power to sustain the principles of the
constitution of 1824. Houston in his call to arms proclaimed, “War
in defense of our rights must be our motto.-—Let your valor proclaim
to the world that liberty is your birthright. — Our only ambition is
the attainment of national liberty, the freedom of religious opinion, and
just laws!”
Groups of volunteers were headed from every part of Texas to-
wards Gonzales. That town was the capital of De Witt's colony, com-
prising Gonzales, De Witt and parts of Caldwell, Lavaca, Guadalupe and
Comal counties. The easy victory over Castenado fired these volun-
teers with a desire to follow him to San Antonio and drive Ugartechea
out of Texas.
About the time that Castenado was trying to get the cannon from
Gonzales, Cos with 450 men proceeded from Copano through Goliad to
Ugartechea in San Antonio. News of it, and that military supplies
were left at Goliad guarded by some 30 soldiers under Col. Sandoval,
readied Matagorda and Cupt. Geo. M. Collinsworth with some 45 men
started for that place. On tho way, at night, Oct. 9, they came upon
Ben Milam, who had just escaped from a prison in Monterey. He
knew nothing of the activities in Texas and was glad to join in the
fight for justice. Hr was sent with two others to Goliad to dem-
and .a surrender. They brought the message that they will have to
fight. The attack was made at one a and sine? the garrison was hid-
den in the church, the doors were forced open and in the melde one
Mexican was killed and three wounded; the rest were taken prisoners, derful dinner...
One Texan was wounded. Two cannon?, 300 mu >kets, and about $10-*
000 worth of food and military stores wore captur’d.

Tamburitza Players
Here Monday
The Catholic Daughters of Am-
erica and the Knights of Columbus
of this city will present the St Ed-
ward’s University Tamburitza Play-
ers in a program of American, South
Slavonic, and Russian music, on
Monday evening, at 7:45 p. m., in
the High School Auditorium.
The Tamburitza Players is a musi-
cal organization consisting entirely
of students in St. Edward’s Univer-
sity located at Austin, Texas. This
group is considered of the finest
musical organizations in the South-
west and has appeared in concerts
in several cities of Texas and in
radio broadcasts from stations on the
Southwest network, including Aus-
tin, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonie
and Oklahoma City.
The Tamburitza Players is com-
posed of seven talented young men
who play the native instruments of
the South Slavonic countries, com-
prising Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia,
Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Monte-
negro. There are seven instru-
ments in the tamburitza family.
The bisernitza is the smallest and
produces notes as fine in quality as
those of the violin. On the other
hand the berda, or bass tamburitza,
has a musical quality as full and
harmonious us the bass notes of a
grand piano. As a group the tam-
buritza instruments resemble string
instruments well-known in America,
such as the guitar and the mandolin,
but because of their unusual con-
struction no other string instrument
is capable of giving forth music as
rich in quality, color, or tone as
the tamburitza.
The Russian Balalaika, which is
also a Slavonic instrument, It the
only string instrument that is com-
parable to the tamburitza. Russian
music, particularly that of South
Russia, and the Ukraine, can be in-
terpreted on the tamburitza, and ev-
ery concert includes a few Russian
compositions. In addition, teteri
classical and popular Anerio^Mte-
positions, arranged by one 4t Urn
members of the troupe, form * part
of the program.
Mr. Frank Mega, Jr., the tenor
soloist of the organization, zings
ballads and folk-songs of Slovenia,
Croatia, Czechoslovakia, Russia, <ind
American.

ly colored costumes of the countries

rectory here Sunday evening.

was treated to a sumptous turkey
dinner by Mr. Felix Brunner and
his assistants at the City Cafe Mon-
day night. The players, coach and
superintendent assembled for the
occasion at the hosts’ Cafe at 5
