Writ to Enjoin Lamar's Stock Deals Argued State Would Stop Him and 2 Others, Hinting at 'Wash Selling' Justice May devoted a considerable part of yesterday, usually regarded as a "day off" in court circles, to hear a motion by Deputy Attorney General Abraham N. Davis for an injunction against David Lamar, George C. VanTuyl former banking superintendent, and Martin O'Mara, which would prevent them from further dealing in stocks and securities. hearing was held in chambers and Justice May had before him reams of testimony which Mr. Davis had taken in his preliminary investigation of the transactions in which the trio were William S.

Butler, Lamar's counsel, several days previously asked for an inspection of those minutes, but the court ruled that his purpose would be served just as well by a private reading by the court if need be. Mr. Butler contended that he could not intelligently meet the injunction motion. "Wash Sales" Hinted told the court that Deputy, VanTuyl and O'Mara had conducted some operations in Brockway Motor Truck stock in an effort to raise the price. He charged that a scrutiny of some transactions disclosed.

earmarks of "wash sales," Butler and J. Morton Carden, who appeared for Van Tuyl, denied any knowledge of wash sales. Mr. Carden said VanTuyl never would participate in such deals and Mr. Butler was emphatic in saying that all the transactions were entirely regular and in conformity with "practices engaged in every day in the most reputable brokerage concerns." O'Mara was not served with any papers as he departed for the West some weeks ago.

Justice May reserved decision and gave the lawyers a week to submit briefs. In the meantime he may delve further into the records. Spain's Cabinet Reported About To Quit in Body Jaca Police Force to Be Court Martialed for Leniency to the Rebels Madrid. Dec. 20 (P)-Spain was quiet tonight, but the Government, taking no chances after the revolutionary outbreaks of the last ten days, made no move to lift the martial law proclaimed last week.

Troops in the principal cities were withdrawn from street patrol, however, and sent back to barracks. The newspaper Diario de Huesca was suspended for commenting on the execution of the leaders of the Jaca mutiny and the Government, moving against the insurrectionists, ordered a courtmartial for the whole police force at Jaca on charges of dealing too leniently with the rebellious troops. Rumors persisted that the entire cabinet was on the point of resigning, but observers believed the ministry would remain in office for the present. In Portugal Major Ramon Franco and the friends who fled with him by airplane after the revolt led by the Spanish ace had failed, were notified they were free to leave when ever they pleased.

Attorney General Mitchell hopes to obtain from opposing counsel a waiver of the rules of the Supreme Court SO sat the appeal may be presented to the court when it reconvenes on Jan.

5. It is expected that on that day the Department of Justice will ask the court to advance the case for an early hearing. It is thought the court may set the case down for hearing during the week beginning Jan. 19. Should it not be set for hearing during that week, it cannot be taken up by the court before Feb.

24. Grounds Explained Solicitor General Thacher, in filing the appeal, submitted a statement showing the Government's grounds for contending the Supreme Court has jurisdiction to entertain the appeal. The statement explained "the indictment charged that the defendants had unlawfully transported certain quantities of intoxicating liquors" and also with unlawful possession. "A motion to quash the indictment was sustained." the statement said, "on the ground that the National prohibition act is void because the 18th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified by Legislatures of the States, whereas under the Constitution it could be ratified only by conventions called for that purpose in the States." In addition, the statement submitted a list of cases cited by the Government to sustain its assertion that the Supreme Court had jurisdiction.

Tomorrow Communist Marriage and Divorce. By THELMA NURENBERG In the early days of quished another the gods as well nation were carried off as Often these gods were adopted they were not the deities were placed on exhibition and ridiculed. In that respect history in Russia repeats itself. The Soviet Government has taken over the Church of the Strasnoy Monastery and has turned it into a museum. Herein is a collection of symbols of worship of earliest times, weapons used in priestcraft, relics, picture tableaus.

All this is on daily exhibition and Russians are invited to come and view these gods of the past and present bourgeois. I visited this museum four times. The first two times I viewed the collection and the other times I came to see the peoplewho came to see the collection. Groups of school children, university tudents. workers.

Rarely during these times I came did I see men or women who had passed their 40th year. One does not come to laugh at the God one has wroshipped a lifetime. The administration of the Bez bozo n- nik organization Thelma Nurenberg Thelma Nurenberg connected with the museum is kind indeed to its visitors. Not only do they give each group visiting the museum a guide but also a thorough lecture on the villainies, crumnies and treacheries practiced on simple, ignorant, superstitious people by a scheming priesthood. Here is depicted life in its earliest stages to the first gods and then again from the elimination of the multi-god system to the all- One.

All this can be seen, appreciated or condemned, nt the Bezbozbhnik Museum. Arranged in Detail Certainly these exhibits are civilization when one army vanas the people of the defeated captives into the victors' land. by the conquerors, but when arranged with the most exacting details as to the religious development of the various pagan and Christian faiths. For instance, there are the long stone instruments used by pagans in prayer. With this, prayer was offered in a dance invoking the gods for rain.

And show relative folly close by to this exhibit is a picture of starving peasants engaged in prayer for rain, as the land lies fallow and parched. Close by is a well-fed, gorgeously overvested priest invoking the aid of Christ for a rainfall. Then there is the exhibit of the tribes whose gods were thunder birds, the dove and the eagle. On the church escutcheons these same birds have a prominent and permanent place. The pagan Russian might have had faith in Christ during the first days of Christianizing, but he did feel certain security with his old god.

Hence the combination. In the second room there is a very elaborate expose of the Russian religion: rich, colorful church vestments, silver and gold embroidered gowns in which the priest dressed himself on high occasions. Here a picture of a scene in which priest reveals himself as a tool the police. The simple, believing peasant is kept in fear and submission by the priest, who exacts confession. This is made a mental note of for the benefit of the government and not for God.

Nothing is left undone to convince the Russion that his religion was a sham staged and conducted by ignorant, vicious and ungodly priests for the enrichment of church and self. 0 A club or find That Irreverent Eyes of Today The bones of the saints Serafina, Ivan, Feodosi and Anten were once in shrines to which millions of Russians from the remotest parts of Russia were wont to make pilgrimages to. Worshipping in the presence ofthese bones would absolve one of all sin and sickness had been told. And to prove the fact that these were miracle-working saints the church exposed bodies dead hundreds of years in fine state Watch for These Stories in Eagle By Thelma Nurenberg Monday-Communist marriage and divorce.

The muzhik was told that these saints were immortal and that while other dead rot not long after burial, these bodies would never perish. In frightened awe the Russian would worship at the shrine. What he did not know was that when certain chemical processes were no longer applied to these bodies they would go the way of all dead flesh.

Directly above the now sealed bones of the saints were the pictures of the shrines which they had inhabited before the revolution, Before them were many thousands, kneeling in humility and veneration. And before all this are the curious, irreverent eyes of today which come to stare and smile. Nearby is a large tablet of solid gold. This had been exhibited by the church in former times as a miracle-working tablet. Whosoever kissed it and deposited coin was absolved of all sins.

Boy's Coffin on Exhibit Christmas Appeal for Jobless By 4 Leading Local Clergymen Message read in Brooklyn Churches and Synagogues The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of brotherly Jove in action. Faced today with the most serious unemployment crisis which this country has seen in many years, that spirit is being subjected to a severe test.

How shall we meet it? The United States, with a population of 120,000,000, has approximately 6,000,000 persons out of work today. Greater New York has Brooklyn alone has close to 150,000 jobless, of whom more than 17,000 are the heads of families whose material resources are exhausted, and who, with their children and other dependents, are destitute. Time and the inherent character of the American people will bring about adjustment of the economic situation. Meanwhile, however, immediate action is imperative to provide relief for the thousands who, through no fault of their own, are the victims of this economic crisis. We must not permit these jobless men, and the women and little children who look to them for their daily bread, to go cold and hungry.

The fortunate residents of Brooklyn who have employment or incomes which insure them against privation, will want to share their good fortune this Christmas with their neighbors who are in want. The welfare organizations of Brooklyn-Protestant, Catholic, Jewish and non-sectarian-are being overwhelmed with new appeals for relief. The Brooklyn Unemployment Emergency Committee appeals for $500,000 to tide these four agencies through the winter. A portion of that fund has already been received. But many more dollars are needed, and they are needed right away.

Every citizen of Brooklyn who has a steady income--from wages, salary or invested funds- should give to this fund and give generously. Let each one of us sit down to our Christmas dinner next Thursday with a conscience made clear by the fact that we have done our share toward relieving the suffering of our neighbors. If 1 you have not already done so, send your gift, large or small, to the committee's headquarters at 215 Montague St. Dr. S.

ERNEST M. STIRES Java Dance Features Museum's Yule Party 500 Children Enjoy Program and Criticize Oriental Terpsichorean Art Shown in Movies -Sing Christmas Carols A huge Christmas tree, lights a harmony of Christmas ture theater of leather with characters all made of leather dren costumed as cowboys, dominoes, policemen, ballet dancers, and with a number of different foreign costumes- last, but not least. moving pictures of dancing in Java -these were a few of the events in the big children's Christmas party at the Brooklyn Museum yesterday. Throughout the moving picture of dancing in Java, which was first on the program, the 500 children sat with wonderment on their faces. Not a sound was heard, except now and then a whisper, "Some dances.

huh?" "Boy, ain't that the cats?" One little girl sitting in the front row was heard to say, "Aw, I can dance better than that." Her little chum next to her answered, "Sure, yuh can, and yuh ain't taken only four lessons, too." The next surprise in store for the children WAS A shadow screen in which the actors and actresses were made of leather. This was maneuvered by Prof. Tassilo Adam of the museum who had brought it from Java at the same time as he took the dancing pictures there. Professor Adam talked for the characters As he made them walk and dance. The children certainly enjoyed this, if their remarks could be taken as A criterion.

"Gee, I wish Santa Claus would bring me a set like that," wished one little fellow. "What would you do with it," questioned a more practical urchin sitting beside him. "I'd give shows of my own," answered the first. When the characters were made to dance, a little girl, who evidently knew something about dancing, gave as her opinion, "They're better dancers than those people in the To which another little girl replied. "Sure.

because that man knows how to make them Sing Carols As soon as this show was over. the children were led by guides up to a large room where a fountain spouts beneath a glass roof giving the sunshine a chance to light the room with its golden rays, Here the There is the open coffin of young boy. On the glass lid is a painting of the unfortunate youth who was supposed to have been killed by Jews and his blood used for ritual purpose. There is a rent in the regions of the heart to indicate where the heinous wound had been made. A peasant would visit this shrine, kiss the picture of the boy and leave with murder in his heart.

In order to divert the peasant from his countless inhuman burdens which the Church and State imposed, a crusade against the Jews would be encouraged every once in a while. And to kindle the spark of agitation into a consuming fire, the priests would goad the peasants on to murder by repeating the story of the little martyr, Gavril. So saintly had this child been that it was time he was canonized, declared these men of Christ. Fresh pogroms would then result, and atrocities which startled the world followed. After the revolution the coffin was opened and found empty.

It was then revealed that this, too, like the others, was nothing more than a story. On display were the various irons which the recluses, anchorites and priests, living in monasteries or cells deep in the bowels of the earth were supposed to have worn. The holy ones were supposed to have chastised themselves with these irons, and to have denied themselves all mortal pleasures and conveniences. Food was rarely partaken of and water used only for drinking. The members of these religious orders are now "exposed" as priests living like lords with all of their faults and of their virtues.

They chastised none, themselves only on occasions, and rarely fasted for the glory of God, Russia is told. Flags, Emblems on Display In another room was an exhibit of flags and emblems. A flag dating back from the reign of Nicholas I and inscribed to him reposed in A case. This had been taken from a church which the Soviet closed. The congregation had been faithful to Czar and flag, so the government had found it necessary to put distance between both.

Resting near it was a cover which had once encased a Torah. In one of the corners of this cover was embroidered the Czar's crown. Hence its presence here. A room is devoted to the various sects who were proved to be either counter revolutionary or abnormal. Before the revolution the Czar and Church persecuted all faiths other than the Greek Church Today these sects are permitted to worship in freedom.

A sect which is giving government no little concern is the Skopcheck. This is believed to have been the Fourth Century, and into Russia not long introduced" after Christianity had been adopted. Its adherents believe in inflicting severe and often mortal injuries to the body to gain heavenly favor. They are closely watched because they are not in sympathy with the present government. The most interesting exhibits of these various sects were the pictures of the famous Dmitri Schulz sect.

Dmitri Schulz, the founder of this sect. also preached torture, but of a slightly different kind. Circled about him stood his unclad disciples. Irons would be heated to a glowing red, and each person was obliged to take an iron and brand the person standing next to him. This continued until the members would drop from pain.

Schulz would watch their agonies and excite them to continue the torture. A sadist of the most abnormal desires, he decorated with multi-colored carols the Javanese miniadancing, playing and talking in shadow--a parade of chil- little ones were seated on chairs while Christmas carols were sung by members of the staff of the museum. The Christmas tree with the parade of costumed youngsters was not so quiet, however. The little ones were taken upstairs by guides, had no chance to keep them in order. Loud shouts of joy came from the excited boys and girls, which echoed and re-echoed through the solemn, stately marble halls of the building.

The kids were becoming merry and making up for the spell of quiet which had prevailed during the singing of the Christmas hymns. The children watched the parade of elaborately costumed Indians, war paint and blankets; Spanish senoritas, dainty Italian and Tyrolean costumed girls, dancing girls in ballet costumes, girls wearing boys' clothes, little girls dressed as old ladies, cowboys with sombreros and chaps, colored policemen, boys disguished as girls and what have you? "Kid" Marchers Occasional calls from members of the crowd to the marchers and some kidding enlivened the proceedings. "Hey, Bill, where did you get the skirts?" "Oh, Flossie, you ain't Spanish, are you?" or "Don't ritz us, we know you." The educational department of the Museum sponsored the affair and the arrangements were made by Miss Jean Page and Nelson Goodyear. The following took part in the singing: Miss Mina Wallace, Mrs. Anne Hume, Miss Rosemary Murphy, Miss Page, Frank Virling, Professor Adam, Mr.

Goodyear and Antonio Miranda. Miss Nathalie Herman and Miss Mary L. Doorward sang solos. with R. Huntington Woodman at the organ.

CHARITY BALL. CHAIRMAN Grace Lyons has been chairman of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Knights of Columbus, Long Island Chapter, charity ball, which is to take place at the Elks Club on Friday, Jan. 28 would instill these desires in others. Lived in Grand Style Schulz's purpose was to organize such a sect throughout Russia. He exacted much money from his disciples, and lived in grand style, while his submissive followers starved and lived like ascetics.

When his excesses were disclosed he and his disciples were arrested. Although the death penalty is dealt only to -revolutionaries, the Court decided that Schulz was far too dangerous and abnormal to benefit by imprisonment. Society would be well off without him and he was removed by a firing squad. His disciples were committed to a State sanitarium because of their weakened and abnormal condition, brought on by fasting and self-inflicted tortures. The aim of this museum is not merely to expose what the regime considers the shams of organized religion, but to disseminate propaganda on atheism.

Lectures are riven to groups which establish clearly that the intention of the government is to substitute atheism for deism. Organizations are springing up through the country, and museums like this are being opened in other cities. Schools, factories, clubs are not without their Bezbozbhnik leaders, and every cooperation is given groups who want to avail themselves of Bezbozbhnik knowledge.
