The nnrae of Joseph Wellington Byrns

Though the matter is not settled
and may lend to strong intra-party
rivalry, the Tennessee representative,
who is democratic floor leader, ap

pole in the race.
Others were far from being counted
out. The list of possible contenders
included:
Representatives Sam Rayburn, of
Texns; William B. Bnnkhead and
.lohn MeDuffie. of Alabama, Clifton
Woodrum of Virginia, John McCor

To prevent rsncor that might
threaten the smooth functioning of
the legislative New Deal, party lead

propaganda guus fired an anti-Christianity
barrage today which caused
grave apprehension in Roman Cath
olic and some Protestaut circles.
Develpoments in the troubled church
sitution indicated fresh tension, de
spite Chancellor Hitler's acknowledg
ment of "positive Christianity' in a
recent declaration at Hamburg.
Hlter Youth Leads Rebellion
Heading tbe developments was an
appeal for abolition of Christianity,
apparently inspired by Hitler youth
leaders.
Paul Joseph Goebbels, minister of
propaganda added to the fears with
a veiled threat against Catholics and
a new church drive was announced by
Reichbisbop Ludwig Mueller which
would "cover every city and county
from autumn until spring.''
Another Indication of strife was the
hesitancy of the Germnn-Roman Cath
olic heirarchy to establish the status
of a concordant between Vatican City
and the uation.

Machine gun bandits today held up
an armored truck, escaped with S427M
000 tn three speedy automobiles, and
two of them abandoned one of their
machines for a speedboat, heading
out into upper New York bay toward
New Jersey.
None of the stolen money was found
in the abandoned car. a large sedan,
which was found 10 blocks from the
acene of the holdup.
Monty "Forward Passed"
Police advanced the theory that the
money; tossed from the armored ear
into the bandit machines, had been
transferred by tbe robbers into A
smsller machine and that the two men
who eacaped in a boat headed for a)
rendezvous to take over the loot.
The holdup, coming shortly after
mitl-day, was one of the boldest and
most quickly executed robberies in
Brooklyn police annals.
Twalva Men, Eight Ouns
Police said there were 12 men tn
the bandit gang and that they were
armed with eight machine guns.
Both cunning and force were em
ployed by the robbera In their well
executed plans, Mrs. Caroline Ban
nlater, a profeaslonnl tennis player on
a tennla court near the scene of the
robbery, attested to the minutely
plsnned detail of the robbery.
A few hours before the holdup, Mrs.
