CHURCH PENSION A hswers Husband FASCIST RIOTING FEATURES ill r Over- $15,000,000 Raised by Presbyterians Accord ing to Report Two Men Killed in New York City When Mussolini Ad herents Parade JUN&TIME, FID COMPLETED 17 AIM 1 SAN FRANCISCO. (Special) Will H. Hays, chairman of the Laymen's Committee which since lagt fall has been directing a na tional campaign In the Presby terian Church to raise f 15, 000, 000 for pensions for its old and dis abled ministers, reported to the fJeneral Assembly in session here Batnrday that the fund is complete and the pension plan may be made effective at once. Listing the exact total raised as $15,045,000, Mr. Hays pictured the Presbyterian success as, per haps, marking a new era in Christianity In which ministers of all Churches eventually would be protected through adequate pen sion plans. This total docs not include assured legacies promised In lieu of contributions. "May the day soon come," lie said, "when every man who gives his life to the ministry of Christ will be relieved from the haunt ing anxiety which has clouded the lives of so many such men and their families. We have resolved, I believe we laymen who live amidst comforts and luxuries greater than those known by any other generation we have-resolved at last that the men who ad minister to our spiritual and eternal welfare shall be permitted to share in our prosperity and shall not longer be doomed to an old age of poverty and hardship and distress." New York Presbytery led the 'nation In the amount contributed with $f,156,000, Pittsburgh was second with $995,000, Chicago third with SGS6.000. and Los Angeles fourth with $528,000. Mr. Hays said. The Madison Avenue Church in New York was high among individual churches with $443,000. Mr. Hays paid tribute to 30, 000 laymen who took part in the campaign, to the Episcopal Church which already has a pension plan and made available the benefits of its experience, to the ministers for their cooperation and to the 110,000 families who contributed to the fund. Pointing out that contributions ranged from a few cents from chil dren to a gift of $300,000 each, and several others running into six figures, Mr. Hays said: "First, I would like to note the enlarged standards of giving which I believe will result from our effort. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of our laymen have given more generously toward this cause than they have been ac customed heretofore to give to any Presbyterian enterprise. I believe that in many churches a by-product of the pension cam paign will be a more generous sup port of the local Church budget for giving money to the Church is largely a matter of habit and development." Mr. Hays explained that the pension fund eventually will be come self-perpetuating through annual payments by each minister of $25 in each $1,000 he earns, and of $75 by each church for every $1,000 4t pays its minister. The $15,000,000 will be used to pay pensions now due, retire nustentation bonds, and pay pen sions to those whose own pay incuts would not be sufficient to cover their pensions. The pensions will range from $600 to $2,000 annually, based on average salary and length of service of the individual. Widows and orphans of ministers and mis sionaries also are provided for. Itt closing his report, Mr. Hays turned to the ministers and said "We plant today another mile stone on the road we have been traveling two hundred ten years? With the succesful conclusion of this drive we are able to inaugu rate the Service Pension Plan a new formula so constructed actu arially as to provide the means for all time to pension the servants of the Church more and more adequately. It brings a new zeal, a new faith to the minds and hearts of many of our ministers. Th result Is an expression of the potency of the religion of today as vital and as certain as was the religion of our fathers. The . .response to the appeal is the Laymens' declaration that there is no breakdown of re ligion, that there is nothing break- SULPHUR SOOTHES UGLY.ITCHINOSKIN The First Application Make Skin Cool, and Comfortable .

(AP) v- black shirts of Fascism bulked large in New York's Memorial day. Two men were killed in the morning, reputedly by political adversaries, and in the afternoon there was a minor riot at Times Square when 500 of the adherents of Mussolini pursued through the streets three men who had attacked one of their number. A Fascist delegation of 200 that marched in the Memorial day parade was guarded by police to avoid dis order. Police expressed the opinion that the assailants had intended to kill the leaders of the Fascist group and that the bullets were meant especially for Giocomo Cal dora, president of the organization in the Bronx, who escaped injury. Michael Gioria, an invalid World war veteran, was attacked by three men. One of Gloria's hands was partly shot off in the war, but with the other he laid about him with a whip he was carrying and called for help. The black shirts streamed out armed with clubs and whips, and Gloria's assailants fled The chase led across Times Square and theater crowds ran for cover as the black shirted mob tore through the traffic. The fugitives escaped in the crowds. SOLDIERS SEEN IN THREE FOLD ASPECT BY SPEAK'R (Continued From page 1.) fecting the instruments of demo cracy. "Those soldier dead in whose memory the nation has set aside this day. would ask no finer me morial at our hands than intelli gent and wholehearted devotion to the progressive welfare of the nation that they loved." Three-Fold Aspect Seen Superintendent Howard present ed soldiers in a three-fold aspect. As private citizens, he pointed out, they have been active in the devel opment of western states, a devel opment which has resulted in a progressive political attitude. As public servants, he said, they have been of inestimable value. Few northern states have not had soldiers for governors, and there have been three Civil war soldier presidents Grant, Garfield, and McKinley. As heads of families, he said, they have exercised stern discip line, but have made it a point to develope staunch patriotism in their families as well as in others. Armory Filled The Armory was filled with peo ple anxious to hear the Memorial services. Alvin R. Fisher, acting commander of the Grand Army, was chairman. Ronald Glover gave a masterly reading of the Gettysburg address, and the Sons o.f Veterans quartet sang two numbers. Just previous to the exercises and the parade, services were held at the Marion-Polk county bridge in memory of those who gave their lives while at sea and in the air. Rev. F. B. Culver gave the bene diction. The services were in charge of the Women's Relief Corps. Cemeteries Visited The cemeteries were- visited in the morning by an unusually large number of people who bore floral wreathes for the graves. Automobiles took old veterans of the Civil war to the services at the various cemeteries under auspices of the Grand Army of the Repub lic. The Women's Relief Corps, , and the Spanish War Veterans.
