Y„ TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1936 PRICE THREE CENTS France, Belgium Press For Anti-Reich Judg Tone Conciliatory, May Enter Newell Predicts Deficit of 75 Million father Coughlin's Shrine Destroyed Albany— (AP)—Republican lead- ers in the legislature hunted to- day for evidence of extravagance in the Lehman administration. Calling New York State's finan- cial affairs \clouded in an uncer- tain mist,\ the Assembly called upon Comptroller Morris S. Tre- rriaihe for a. record of all tempor- ary loans obtained last year in an- ticipation of tax revenues. Democratic spokesmen, quickly accepted the challenge. Irwin St.eingut, Democratic As- sembly leader, said the Republic- an move is \merely a gesture.\ \A telephone call to the comp- troller's office would have given you this information within an hour,\ he said. \But we'll go along •With you and support your resolu- tion to a man.\ Tie resolution was adopted unanimously. Meanwhile, Senator Charles J. Hewitt, Republican, or Locke, pro- posed a restriction on future tem- porary loans by limiting them to |100.006,00O for the next fiscal year, $75,000,000 for the following year and $25,000,000 for each year thereafter. Republican Senate Leader George R. Fearon, answering Lehman opposition to debt defer- ment, said in a statement to the press that tine Governor has twice failed to provide for full debt serv- ice requirements in his budget. The Republican Assembly ma- . Jority lopped ^16,0O6,0p5- from, the budget last week, including a de- ferment of $11,000,000 injstate jiebt. payments. Senate Concurs i The DemocraticKsontrolled Sen:- 1 ate concurred .last night in a $74,- ?00 cut iii legislative and judiciary approbations, but will seek pub- lic qpiniba at a hearing tomorrow or other proposed reductions. Governor Lehman contends the debt deferment is \unconstitutional and will endanger the state's cred- it. m reply, Senator Fearon's state- ment said the • Governor, himself failed to provide for interest pay- ment on $30,000,000 of emergency unempioyment relief bonds in. last year's budget, and on $125,000,000 in the current budget. Democratic spokesman replied that the two items cited by Fearon could not have been included in the budgets because they were \unknown\ when the documents were prepared. Replying to Comptroller Tre- maine*s contention, that under the constitution he must impound'the first revenues of the fiscal year to offsei the failure to appropriate $11,000,000 for debt service, Senator Fearon. said: \When the comptroller talks about impounding money, he ne- glects to tell the people that he is doing just that. On last January 31, out- .of $93,000,000 collected in this fiscal year, he had impounded $91,000,000 to meet temporary loans. This has been going on for the last four years.\ Assemblyman W. Allan New- ell, St. Lawrence Republican, debating the Assembly reso- lution last night, predicted the deficit next June 30 will Tje 575,000,000 instead of ?57,000,- 000 as estimated by the gov- ernor. Defending the administration, Steingut said the state's total re- ceipts from Jan. 1, 1933 to next June 30 will exceed expenditures by \at least $25,000,000.\ GIRL WINS BERTH The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin Germany Awaiting Decision •Ready To Send Delega- tion To London—Hitler Asks For Assurances -' Webster,. Mass. — (AP) — The questioned advisability of allow- ing a it-y.ear-old girl to remain a member of a high, school boys' baseball team on.' which she hap- pens to- be the star first baseman gave Webster Educational author- ities a problem today. > Nellie. Twardzik, who won her place last year over 25 boys who Jailed: to; make the squad helieves Me should keep the post. But Coach Pinnigan and the members of the school's athletic council are now : 6f the opinion, that a boys' team, is ho place for her. Nellie's view is that \it's silly to make all this fuss just because J'm' a girl. I never was: any both- er when I played last year.\ The school's athletic council, at- tempting to solve the problem, called a meeting for Thursday to decide the fate of its ace box of- fice • attraction. Berlin—(AP)—A. high, foreign of- fice official said today that a Ger- man delegation was ready to leave for London, but that its departure depended upon the outcome of a meeting of Locarno powers. Germany was satisfied with, the reply given by the League of Na- tions pouncil to its conditions for attending the sessions dealing with the Reich's violation of the Locarno Pact and the \Versailles treaty by occupation, of the Rhine- land. Adolf Hitler, however, still re- garded his Locarno breach, and his new treaty proposals as insepara- ble, and desired- assurances that his offers would be discussed \in due course.\ The League Council's note satis- fied Germany's demands for.full equality with other Locarno powers a/bout the council table, but the Reich still looked to the Locarno signatories, meeting in London-this evening, to meet its second condi- tion. Evidence of Germany's readi- ness to join the London conferees was seen, in. the fact that Hans Heinrich Dieckhoff, director of the Anglo-American department of the foreign office, applied for a visa to London. He would be a member of the delegation to the council. MILK MOVE FAILS RIVERS RISING Stamford, N.

Original Structure Near His New Shrine Is Level- ed By Flames Royal Oak, Mich.—(AP) — Fire destroyed Father Charles E. Coughlin's original; Shrine of the Little Flower, a modest frame structure today. The • imposing, new half-million-dollar shrine, as yet incomplete, was not dam- aged. Father Coughlin, at the fire him- self, estimated the loss at $30,- 000. He and firemen were agreed that faulty wiring was the cause. ' Big Shrine Menaced Two Royal Oak fire companies, given assistance from neighboring Birmingham, brought the fire un- der control but not before 75-foot high flames had threatened to spread to the nearby shrine from which Father Coughlin makes his weekly radio broadcasts. A call from an alarm box near the shrine at 6:17 a.m. brought firemen. Three telephone calls to the police-fire headquarters follow- ed shortly. Nuns front the neaby Little Flower convent helped church at- tendants save the Blessed Sacra- ment, the Little Flower, statuary, and most of the vestments. Father Coughlin said the loss was covered by insurance. Firemen and Father Coughlin said there was, no hint of incen- diarism. The priest expressed concern for the safety of the church) relics, which were in a small,, iron safe in the church office. Among them were a. piece of the true cross and three relics of Ste. Theresa. Ef- forts to find the safe* awaited the cooling of the embers. 8 Slain In Spain Clashes New Political Strife Takes Toll — State Of Alarm Prolonged By ALEXANDER H.

All but the blind and the halt and the lame turned out with his green rosette and a \bunch of sham- rocks. Now* the veteran shrugged, \Since Ireland got her free- dom* you can't even drown the shamrock on St. Patrick's day.
