Attorneys Gall Each Other Fools In Phone Case Hilly and Blacknier Fire Snappy Comebacks Dur Washington, April 4 OP) The- -Senate was ready today for a volc.v on Senator Norris' proposal that th -10-year-old problem of the dispo- tition of Muscle Shoals be settled by' Government operation of the vast power and nitrate plants there. All efforts at important amend? ments had been voted down and the measure stood in virtually the same'" form as that which was approved by '-Congress two years ago, only to be -submitted to a pocket veto by ident Coolldge. Senator Norris was confident that v-he commanded enough votes for the-'- apotlon of his resolution and hopeful that this time it would i receive Presidential approval. It was with an eye to the White House that he successfully opposed attempts by Black and Heflln of Alabama, Democrats, to amend the measure. He urged that "no peg be.

put In the resolution upon which, veto by the Chief Executive may be bung." Two Amendments dopted However, two perfectin gamend- ments were adopted. One by Black. -would permit 33-year contracts for the sale of power instead of 15 and, the other, by George of Georgia. would forbid those using power from-- Muscle Shoals to fix discriminatory rates. The resolution would create "Muscle Shoals corporation," with a.

Dr. Clarke spoke of this being an age of transition and described the foundation on which our lives must be built. "Today things happen swiftly and sometimes violently said Dr. Clarke.

"What will stand as the foundation unon which we must build our lives? Jesus based everything upon faith and truth. Jesus gives us four great lessons in His teaching and in His own life.

Forgiveness is a gift, but liberty must be won.

Jesus Is walking the earth today, and has more Influence on the thought and lives of mankind than at any time In the history of the world." The series will be continued next week, with the Rev. Dr. Francis J. McConnell, bishop of the Methodist Church, as speaker on Mon day and Methodist ministers assist ing in the service. TRIBORO LOOP AS COMMUTER AID PROPOSED Continued from Page 1 and utilize, so far as possible, the tracks of the Atlantic Ave.

Division back to Jamaica. The other route would leave Manhattan at the Battery and, after crossing the river, would follow Atlantic Ave. Transfer Facilities 1 "Only a minor portion of the potential traffic was considered as originating west of Jamaica," the report says. "For this purpose it was considered best to provide transfer facilities for these passengers at the present Woodslde station on the main line and at Atlantic Ave. station on the Atlantic Division.

These stations would, of course, serve as transfer points where passengers having destinations not reached by the suburban transit system might change to the city rapid transit lines." In making their studies and reports, a preface to the recommendations said, no consideration has been given to the legal, financial or operating problems, nor as to how or by what agency any of the facilities would be provided, financed or operated. Results of surveys made by the board which showed that 55 percent of all Long Island commuter traffic entering Manhattan and Brooklyn originated within New York City limits aided the board In making Its suggestions, the report says. Other Recommendations Other recommendations of the Board for commuter traffio relief Include a line from the loop in Manhattan under 67th St. and the Hudson River to New Durham, N. another from the.

lower end of the loop to Communipaw, an extension of the Hudson and Manhattan system from 33d St. to 57th and a connection with the New York, New Haven and Hartford, the York Central and other railroads entering the Metropolitan Area from the west. C. E. Smith, New York Central representative, was the only member of the board not to concur in the report.

ing Cross-Examination The Cross examination of Arch ibald 6. B. Little, witness for the city, by Edward L. Blackman, coun sel for the New York Telephone Company, continued today In the rate case hearing before the Public Service Commission at 120 Broadway, Manhattan. The examination led to frequent clashes between Mr.

Blackman and Corporation Counsel Arthur J. W. Hilly. Mr. Hilly objetced to the cross- examination, declaring that since 3:30 o'clock yesterday the telephone company attorney had not once based his questionsh on the figures contained In the exhibit produced by Mr.

Little. "If this keeps Up," declared Mr. Hilly, "I wont be able to relieve the public from the present high rates, nor will the Commission be able to reach its decision by the 1st of May." "It is inconceivable that the Corporation Counsel of New York could be as ignorant as he Is trying to make himself appear in his objection," interrupted Mr. Blackman, "my questions only carry the examination to its lottlcal conclusion." "You are trying to construct a straw man and knock his down," retorted Mr. Hilly, "while we presented a real man and you've been trying to avoid him." During the cross-examination on Mr.

Little theory of depreciation, the frequent clashes between the two attorneys reached another high point. Mr. Hilly, In the midst of some questions by the company attorney, declared, "Shakespeare al ways put a fool in every drama." "That's why you're here," retorted Mr. Blackman. "Oh, no; that's the reason why ycu're here," answered Mr: Hilly.

There were times when Wagner, a former prize fighter, didn't make such a good Impression in Deputy Police Commissioner Leach's court, where Schanover was being tried on a charge of perjury.

There were times when the young man obvi ously dodged the issue that Price had brought up. There were other times when he suddenly opened up witn vivid recollections. Sticks to Story For the greater part the day, nowever, Wagner did not shake from the main points of his story that a long friendship ended when Wagner failed to nay $5 as a shake down when Schanover caught him at a poker game, and that as a result Schanover charged him later with highway robbery. Details Are Misty The witness could not recall all the details of that poker game. The game was held Nov.

21, 1924. and -that's a fairly long time back. Price became excited and ind'gnant because Wagner would not tell him whether chips or money had been used in that game, but the prizefighter could not recall. He did remember that Schanover told him it would cost him $5, and that he had never paid that money. was arrested early In the I morning of March 12, 1928.

His greatest difficulty occurred when he tried to tell Price everything he had done on March 11 from 9 a.m. until his arrest. He was fixing a motorcar, he said. He went home at 6 o'clock and found his wife was out. So he went to a motion picture show.

He Takes a Ride "After that," he said slowly, "I went to a restaurant, and had some coffee. Then I went to the sidewalk and I saw some friends, and they asked me to take a Tide. It was then after 11 o'clock." He Rides With Friends One of these friends was Abraham Babcock, known as Murphy, the other known as Mack. They took the ride in Murphy's taxicab through Prospect Park. Coming back there was trouble.

"No, no, no," protested the witness. "It wasn't no fight I Just had an argument with Murphy. So I got out of the car at Prospect Park Plaza. I see a truck driver and he was in trouble. So I fixed his truck and he took me for a ride.

Just a little while after that I was arrested by Schanover." 6 Months Term And $200 Fine For Rum Dealer KildufT Had Been Seized While Awaiting Trial in Owl's Head Shooting Thomas KildufT, 31, of 167 57th St. was sentenced today by Federal Judge Mortimer W.

He said also that he had learned that this lack of valves is general throughout the city. The company's representatives told him, he said, that they had tried out valves in the past and found they were Inef fective. The cause of the explosion was gas leaking from a 10-foot section of a 6-inch main between 29th and 30th on Broadway, the Commissioner said.

That there was no loss of life and even greater damage done, Commissioner Dorman said, was dua to prompt work by Police and Fire Departments. In addition to telenhone wires affected, a whole sect'on of fire alarm cables were cut off, the Commissioner said, but this was quickly remedied. A survey of the damage done to the telephone system by the explosion, the New York Telephone Company announced, indicates that 14 cables carrying approximately 12,800 circuits were put out of commission. Of these, all but 2,500 were restored to service this morning. Many others will be In working order by tomorrow morning and service will be completely restored over these circuits by Monday.

"Religion as it attempts to deal with a revolutionary world as It hag developed In Russia today," he said, "cannot deal with it in abstract and academic terms. The situation has arisen from definite experience, gathered through 1,000 years and we cannot put up against it a mere theory.

"Advancing too Hastily "Russia Is advancing too hastily. We are dealing with people who have lost themselves in the passion of a new enterprise. We must convince them that they are doing themselves an irreparable damage in attempting to establish a State which eliminates religioa" He also pointed to the fact that the Soviet declares tnat "religion is an onlate to the people" and said that the government believes that it Is engaging in an antt-nar cotic campaign. "Real Persecution" "The most rigorous repression of religion in any form in Russia," he continued, "Justifies the terra persecution. We know that the public schools require that at least one period a day be devoted to atheistic teaching.

The churches that have been actually closed are probably four times the number officially an nounced." "Never before have we seen reli- Kious groups uniting in one cause. Religious leaders whose points of view are markedly dissimilar have banded together to Implore the government of Russia to change Us course."

If cur churches do not set to work to offset the wet propaganda the enemy will take our citadel before we realize theye are within our gates." The report also made a plea for more spiritual preaching from the pulpit. "Believing that the preacher must be alive to all the currents of life that flow past him," It said, "and recognizing that the pulpit dare not be Indifferent to the moral issues of our day, there seems to be a serious lack of spiritual directness and appeal in much of our modern-day preaching. "Need to Recover Ardor" Apparently preachers have more of a desire to attract attention and draw a crowd than to deliver a message that will feed the souls of hungry people. We preachers need to recover In our day that first fine ardor of the prophet." The Rt.

It is conceded that the city cannot afford to allow the subway to lie unused, and that close to a year would be necessary to build up an operating machine, but the city may have more time.
