Dr. Pettingill called for the “smoking-out” of all who do not. “I want to see an alignment in our church between the two factions.” |ie asserted. “I am sick and tired of try ing to have a fellowship when there can be no fellowship.

Withdrawal from the supply during the past year was only 1,700,000 gallons. The Treasury's request for a $28,000,- 000 appropriation to increase the Coast Guard, the Secretary said, might assist to “cut down to a minimum” the opera tion of tbe rum smugglers who seek to replace the vanished home product with the spirits of other lands. Public building needs, in the country at large and in Washington, the report said, required “a carefully N considered building program.” The postponement of construction because of recent high costs in erection enterprises could not always be continued, it added, with an-, nual federal expenditures for rentals amounting to $20,000,000 and increasing' Construction, planning that would elimi-. nate any tendency to distribute build ings ou a political basis was urged. The recently established system of pen-, sious for retirement of federal civil ser vice employes was described as showing sufficient cash reserve to justify an in-; crease in the rates paid to the depen dents. The limiting of retirement bene-i fit to persons over 70. likewise. Mr. Mel lon said, was unnecessary, atid he advo cated lowering it to 08 years.
