He would say how much do I get (for the lady would be asking him great deal). I would say 10 per and I would go to Vickers or some other firm and say I want 500 m. at a price which will enable me to scoop 30 per cent. (20 per cent, for myself and 10 per cent, for the Minister), The general result Is the high price for armaments.

"This is all very corrupt and the firms know it, but they all make their profits and have to, so it is hard to blame them. They compete against each other and at times, no doubt, they buy out each others' agents. These gentry don't know one end of a gun from the other (deleted by Senator Nye). It is rather a dirty business and most difficult to get to the bottom of, because the main profits are secret transactions." Codd was quick to express the opinion that Fuller had been "extremely hard on the munitions industry." Nye as promptly challenged the statement. "In the light of the record that has been made by this committee," he said, "I think it can be said he was light on them and the practices that have been resorted to in selling munitions have been something more than corrupt."

DePasquale had a fantastic explanation for the hot water he was in. He told G-men -that last December he found he was about $1000 short in his cash and charged checks against customers' accounts to strike a balance.

About January 20, according to his statement, he found the shortage in a roll of bills in his drawer. When the time came to make up the Jarka payroll, Federal agents said, he put the newly-discovered money, knowing it was spurious, in that corporations envelope. G-men said flatly there wasn't a doubt the counterfeits came from the Lustlg presses. In the five years before the International crook was put away last December, the country was flooded with $2,340,000 of the bogus currency. Raids in Chicago netted $500,000 and here and in New Jersey $50,000 more, The counterfeits distributed at Chase were of Federal Reserve notes of the Cleveland district.

Y. Hrrali LONDON, Feb. 11. Efforts continued today behind the scenes of the four-power naval conference to break the developing deadlock between the French and American delegations over the size 'of capital ships. The issue really involves the problem of German participation In the conference, so it was attacked on a dual front by Robert Leslie Cralgie, head of the naval department of the British Foreign Office, France, backed by Italy, has refused to be budged from her position that the maximum size of capital ships should be 27,000 tons, but feelers have been put forward, supposedly from the French, for a proposal to stabilize the maximum at 30,000 tons after all the powers not at the naval conference or to be Included later shall have built a total of two battleships.

Americans Isolated It is understood that this formula might be agreeable to the other Powers if the maximum tonnage were to be stabilized later in the neighborhood of 33,000 tons instead of 30,000 tons. The British have been weakening on their figure of 35.000 tons, and should the British go over to the French position, the United States delegation would find itself in' an Isolated position. Reports are heard of the discomfort of the Americans at finding themselves in the midst of an European political Imbroglio In which they feel they have no business and from which they should escape as soon as possible. In examining the proposal that all the nations involved should build two battleships if they have not already them or better anjd then cease building them in favor of ships In the neighborhood of 30,000 tons, it should be remembered that the United States has no crafVof this tonnage. The largest American capital ship is the Idaho, of 33,800 tons.

LAUDS SALVATION ARMY High praise for the Salvation Army was given yesterday by Dr. Cheesman A. Herrick, president of Girard College, at a meeting in the Bellevue-Stratford of division and team captains of the organization's maintenance fund campaign. The "Army," he said, "puts practice ahead of preaching and its chief object and purpose Is service." Gifts totaling $52,193, or 32 per cent, of the goal of $160,000, have been received, it was announced. New gifts exceeding $10,000 were reported.

VlctufSOOO lilS SEE PARLEY Bl Bremen Bishop Discloses Plan to Show Savior Was Not of Jewish Race BREMEN, Germany, Feb.

11 'A. -Ardent Nazi pastors are rewriting Luther's version of the Bible to harmonize it with their anti-Jewish feelings and professed be-lief thnt Christ, alter all, "was not Jewish." Bifhop Weidemann, of Bremen, disclosed to a recent meeting of the Evangelical churches here, reports of which were available today, that the new Bible, long clamored for by some Nazis, actually is under preparation, Hans Kerrl, Nazi director of church affairs, Is understood to have declined to associate his ministry with the Bremen meeting. "The new translators are not con cerned with the Luther of yesterday, but the Christ of today," said Bishop Weidemann, asserting that "a German shuts a book Immediate that tells him his law was given by Moses." Take Gospel As Guide John's Gospel is taken by the translators as a guide to the Bible, for "as National Socialists, they regard him as a divine savior in the bitter struggle against the Jewish people," the Bishop said. One pastor, seeking to snow tnat Jesus was not Jewish, said Galilee, his homeland, was not pure Jewish and that his entire life was a fight agamst Jews. "When the Apostles, aitnougn Jews, took up the fight for Christ," this pastor said, "they were thrown out by the Jews.

Pure Christianity a radical enemy of Jeww and we must sharply protest against any attempt to make it Jewish again." Wilson Plans Suit Against Gas Firms Continued From First Page Wilson pointed out that the basis for proceedings is the failure of the Philadelphia Gas Works Company, subsidiary of the U. G. to manufacture all of the gas sold Philadelphia consumers In the municipal plant. High Cost Cited Instead, he said, It purchases considerable quantities from the Philadelphia Coke Company at a price higher than it would cast to make it in the city plant and then resells It to consumers. Wilson pointed out that the cost of manufacturing gas in the mu nicipal plant is 25 cents per 1000 cubic feet, yet the operating com pany pays 39 cents for the same quantity from the rnuaaeipnia Coke Company.

On this item alone, the purchase of gas, Wilson will seek to surcharge the onerating company $5,505,398.1 The Philadelphia Gas Works Company operates the municipal plant under a 10-ycar lease, which ends December 31, 1937. It is paid $800,000 a year for operating the plant and is allowed $2,000,000 a year for replacements and extensions. Last week Councilman Henry J. Trainer Introduced an ordinance in Council notifying the utility of the city's Intention to terminate the lease upon expiration. Wllsan, however, said he had already notified the company and it had accepted notice of the city's intention.

Demanded Rate Cut In an address before the 100th anniversary dinner of the gas company Monday night, the Mayor served notice on utility officials that the city may not enter into another agreement for operation of the municipal plant unless the price of sas to the consumer is reduced 40 cents, "It is the duty of the company to manufacture gas" in the municipal plant," the Mayor declared as he announced his Intention to resort to legal steps to surcharge the utilities. "For several years it has Increased the amount of gas manufactured tn its own plant and then sold it to the city for 39 cents, whereas It could have been manufactured for 25 cents In the municipal plant. This procedure has resulted in a $1,000,000 a year difference to the consumers of Philadelphia. "we pay the company $800,000 a year to manage the municipal plant. So the company in buying gas from Its own plant is managing to make another profit which they charge us.

The company didn't Invest a cent In the municipal plant. Other Surcharges Among the other items on which the Mayor seeks to surcharge the company arc the following! Surplus from operations, 920.23. Special allowances, $144,330.95. Allowances on pensions, 146.98. Excess vacations, $171,959.20.

Public speaking courses for offi cials, $1800.00. Telephones, hand seta, $2480.00. Credit for Interest on working r.a0f, $365,943.83. Losses on sale of appliances, 548.339.00. Dividends received bv the U.

G. I. from Ugite $356,230.00. Differences on returns on assessed valuation and actual rent paid on the Montgomery and Duncannon stations, $1,181,067.00. Failure to use offices, $491,540.18.

Date Back to 1928 The surcharges sought by the Mayor date back to the beginning of the present lease for the man agement of the municipal plant, January 1, 1928. Wilson, reiterating his demand for a lower gas rate, pointed out that unbiased experts "are of the opinion that by increasing the output of gas the price can be reduced and profits increased." The company gets the fee to manage the plant and it shouldn't care how cheap gas is to the consumer," the Mayor added, He pointed out that if the' price of the fuel were reduced, many public buildings and other structures could be heated by gas. "There is no excuse for the company charging a higher rate than it costs to manufacture such gas in Uie city plant," the Mayor declared. JEW 31 VERSION a at of be to to of IN'iHTlIS' Comedian's New Film Has Gala Hollywood Opening at Erlanger IT WASNT the, fancy trimmings of a Hollywood opening, nor the presence of civic, state society and stage notables that mattered last night when "Modern Times" had Its Philadelphia premiere at the Erlanger. Charlie i Chaplin had come back after an aVsemce of al-' most five years and flint was all Anybody In the audlnnee which taxed the resources of the theatre seemed to care about.

Times may be modern, times may or may not be out of Joint, but Charlie takes them in his' and the stride Is a lively ori. The l.ttle tramp, whether clad bi his famous baggy trousers, floppy shoes. battered derby or in the overalls of a factory worker, is the same tragl-comlc figure that has become a tradition. And though this Industrial era may be something of a -nuisance and a mystery to him, he tackles it without cither fear or respect. More of us, perhaps, should follow his example and Charlie probably thinks so too.

the first time In screen history, unless this reviewer's memory falls, Charlie departs down that road Into the future not alone, but with Paulette Ooddard, the garnin-hcrolne, trudging bravely beside him. That may mean something more personal than usual, in fact, it might be accepted as Charlie's way cf telling the world that there is a new Mrs. Chaplin. Another Chaplin tradition Is also flattered before the picture comes to its hilarious end, for Charlie breaks bis silence and sings. The language in which he does it, however, is Charlie's secret, though It sounds something like French, His voice is pleasant and his gestures, aa naughtily sophisticated as any ever indulged In by Maurice Chevalier, tell the ludicrous story of a fat old roue and a pretty girl.

Charlie received a round of ap-p'ause as tribute to his vocal efforts, but by that time he had already been applauded upon his first appearance and was still to bring audible approval from his audience, limp though it was after 90 minutes of continuous laugher, at the conclusion of his picture. The story that Mr. Chaplin has concocted for himself this time dcalf With a factory worker who developes a nervous breakdown from standing at a moving belt, tightening bolts as they whiz past. The finishing touch is added when the president of the company tries out a mechanical feeding device on the luckless R'orker. The machine coes mad and so docs Charlie as soup, corn, pie and meat are flung in his face while a thorough mechanical napkin swings up to wipe his mouth.

Fired from the factory and discharged from the hospital, Charlie finds himself in and out of Jail as the result of various misadventures In the streets and in his ineffectual efforts to find a niche for himself in the Industrial world. He Involves himself innocently in a Communist, riot, he tries to become a night watchmnn in a department store. In short, does his best to go to work and something always happens. There are hf art-warming shades of "The Rink" In the roller skat- -ing sequence; there are reminders oi. every Chaplin picture that was Irver made all through "Modern Times" and there are enough brand new comic inventions to explain why Charlie takes such a long time between pictures and why they are io superlathely worth waiting for.

Paulette Ooddard is a charming addition to ihc gallery of Chaplin heroines. Jft the orphaned gamin, she has vivacity, dalntiners and a gift for pantomime. Old-timers in the cast are Chester Conklln, Henry Bergman, Hnnk Mann and Stanley Sanford. But Charlie i back and all is well with the world. even modern times I MILDRED MARTIN Arrest 100 Young Catholics Continued From First rajs clerical and lay loaders of the youth associations, as well as an undeter mined number of young German Catholics who are members of those organizations.

At least one Cath olic woman has been arrested. Cardinal Trotesls Dr. Karl Joseph Schulte, Cardinal Archbishop of Colognc.has sent a tel egraphlc mcysace to Chancellor Adolph Hitler, protesting against the drastic action of the secret police, presumably as a violation of the concordat with the Vatican guaranteeing the integrity of the youth associations. Information as to what action the Vatican may take in the matter Is not available. On Sunday Cardinal Faulhaber told 6000 in St.

Michael's Church in Munich that "untrue attacks against the Pope and the Papacy" were so strong that he had to denounce them as slanders." The Nazis are expected to charge that "the political activities" of the Catholic youth bodies, involving Communist affiliates, are centred In a certain Father Rossaint, or Rosser there is a difference of opinion as to the spelling a Catholic priest who was active at Dusseldorf in the Catholic youth movement, apparently as a district leader. A search by the secret police of Father Rossnint's quarters is said to have revealed that the priest had been in communication with Com- munLst circles. So far there is no Indication as to the extent of the material which the Nazi authorities have gleaned from this search and which they intend to produce as compromising evidence against the Catholic youth organizations. Father Rossaint was arrested, and it is understood that a majority of the other arrests, Including that of Wolker, were made on a basis either of addresses or correspondence found in the possession of the priest. May Aid Propaganda' He is generally admitted to have rsdirM leanings and is said to be eccentric It is thought passible that the evidence obtained against him mav provide ideal material for the Nazi propaganda machine end a looked -lor basis for a as oi in Is to in of Continued From Fiint Page ter said the same communication was being sent to the Remington Arms Company.

This development followed a brief investigation of the Army Ordnance Association, which produced among other things a suggestion from a British Army officer that Judicious bribery and the appeal of the of fair ladles" could be combined effectively in the sale of munitions. Chairman Nye N.D.) of the committee condemned such munition sale practices as "something more than corrupt." The Colt's phase of the lnvestiga- tlon went somewhat extensively into the sale of machine guns in South American countries. Correspondence was introduced purporting to show Colt's agent warning the Bolivian Minister that unless he hastened to order a consignment of guns they would be offered tb his country'.) enemy, Paraguay. Bolivia was then war. "Wasn't that playing one country against another?" asked Stephen Raushenbush, committee Investigator.

"Wasn't that fair neutrality?" responded Samuel M. Stone, president Colt's. Fabrlque National's letter said the company considered "that in order to. lengthen the controversies and thus wear out in the long run the bodies occupied with this question) a very simple solution would to lead your Government not to name representatives or at least delay the nominations as long as possible." It added: "This matter representing for both our companies extreme importance, we do not doubt that upon receipt of this letter you will wish immediately get busy in high places and have steps taken without delay along the above-mentioned lines, using all influence possible." jne British onicer comment was contained in a letter taken from the files of the Army Ordnance Asso ciation, together with disclosures that that organization, devoted to the cause of pushing industrial mobilization for war, included in its membership many businessmen who would be affected commercially by such a program. A stack of letters and the testi mony of L.

C. Codd, the association's executive secretary, were offered as evidence to show the organization worked for the diversion relief funds to army projects and generally was in close co-operation with army oflicers and War De partment officials. Letter Excites Attention With the munitions Inquiry in its concluding stages, the committee took up the affairs of the ordnance association prior to examining the activities of the Colt Patent Fire arms Company in supplying ma chine guns to the Army. Codd testified that about a year ago, due to much sensational publicity on the activities of arms manufacturers and merchants, he asked MaJ. Gen.

J. F. C. Fuller of the British Army for a factual article on that subject for publication in the association's periodical "Army Ordnance." It was Fuller's letter of reply that arrested the Interest of the committee, Nye read sections of it with an assertion that he was obliged to omit other parts because they were unfit to appear in the committee's record. Pertinent paragraphs were: "The chief culprits are the middlemen or munitions contractors who nearly always are outside the firms.

This can be nald without passing any Judgement to who started the fire. It will be recalled that the Nazis pointed to the fire, which they attributed to the Reds, as evidence a widespread Communist conspiracy; that through 'well-directed propaganda they inflamed certain sBction.i of German opinion to a high pitch, and that, in part as a result, they were able not only to crush the Communists but to assume dictatorial powers. It Is suggested that In like manner they now may choose to generalize ttie case of Father Rossaint, and thus find a coaspiracy involving wide-spread Communist affiliations the Catholic youth groups. Aid tn Crush Group That the Nazis desire to crush these associations can hr.rdly be doubted. The leaders of the Third Reich already have announced their plans for mobilizing the children of the land in compulsory Nazi youth organlzatloas, and they are not prepared to permit a body such as the Catholic Church, which not within the totalitarian structure, to conduct a strong competing youth movement.

It is not yet clear whether the Nazis are determined press for complete Rbolitlon of these associations or merely their reduction to a state of impotence. An indication that the propaganda machine already is being put into motion is step in a caricature this mornlngt Voelkl'cher Beo-bachter, which shows a black-robed priest with a Rcd soldier on one arm and a member of the Austrian Fascist Hcimwehr on the other. I It is possible, though not certain, that the heavy artillery of Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister Propaganda and Public Enlight enment, may be kept silent until after the conclusion of the winter Olympics. Those known to have been arrest ed besides Wolker and Father Rossaint Included Father Hein-drlcks, Catholic youth leader for the right bank of the Rhine; Father Hilger, district youth leader in Dusseldorf; Dr.
