Gregg Wants Court to Protect Public. OMAHA. UP), Prof. P. M.

Gregg, Nebraska Wesleyan university psychologist, Sunday advocated a supreme court of morals and ethics in an address before the Omaha Philosophical society.

"The great propagandist in the country today is the United States government," Professor Gregg asserted. ''Hoover created it. Roosevelt has continued it.

Seven hundred million pieces of publicity were put out by various government agencies in 1936. "The publicity that has been given TVA makes it impossible to throw it out. WPA has a great publicity man behind the scenes. I am not arguing the worthiness or unworthinesa of any of the various government projects when I say that the best of them would die except for government propaganda." He advised the American people to know the psychology of propaganda to better protect themselves from the results of it. FIRE AT STATION.

H. StauMacheT of Kansas City, was truest speaker at the Calvary KvangeUcal church Sunday morning and evening. In the morning worship his subject, "Heroes of the Orient," was based on a 12,000 mile trip that took him thru the east and far Into the interior of China. Human Interest accounts comprised most of his message. In the evening the bishop spoke of "The Function of the Church in a Wot Id of Needs." This address is one of many delivered by the bishop in the "Farther With Christ Mission" reaching every annual conference in North America.

In part, he said, "Socially and economically the world Is disturbed and distressed. Politically and economically it is floundering about quite hopelessly. Morally and religiously It is 'in decline. The church faces the two tasks: First, of changing human nature, and second, of recreating society. It proposed to do these things by presenting Jesus Christ, not as a moralist, teacheV, or a philanthropist, but as the supreme personality with power to transform and reconcile men and society.
