By Associated Press
Washington, Dec. 11.—The nomina-
tion of former senator Frank Kellogg
of Minnesota, to be ambassador to
Great Britain, was ordered favorably
reported today by the Senate foreign
relations committee.
The Senate later confirmed the
nomination of Kellogg.
Washington, Dec. 11.—Officials of
the Ku Klux Klan have polled the
members of Congress as to their re-
ligious affiliations. The result of that
poll has just been announced through
the Fellowship Forum, an organ of
the klan, published here. It shows:
“Of the Republican Senators, 48 are
protostants, 29 are Masons; one is a
Mormon.
“Of the Democratic Senators, 39 are
Protestants, five are Catholics, and
one is a Mormon. Thirty-one of the
Democratic Senators are Masons.
“Both of the Farmer-Labor mem-
bers of the Senate are Protestants
and one is a Mason.
“In the House there are 215 Protes-
tants on the Republican side; seven
Catholics, one Mormon, one unknown
affiliation. Of the Republican mem-
beis 180 are Masons. On the Demo-
cratic side there are 108 Protestants;
30 Catholics and five Jews. One hun-
dred and twenty are Masons. ,
Ci pies of the poll have been sent to
members of Congress with this state-
ment :
“Representatives will have to go on
record during the present session for
or against Protestant measures lest
they lose their constituents who sent
them to Congress to serve Protestant
America. Among other things the
Masons and Protestants will demand
the prssage of the Towner-Sterling
bill.’'
' That bill which found few sponsor*
last Congress provides for the crea-
tion of Department of Education niith
a secretary at its head, who shall be
a member of the President’s Cabinet.
It provides for an appropriation of
$100,000,000 to be made annually, to be
apportioned, disbursed and expended
alonog defined lines. The states are
tailed upon to match and appropria-
tion each receives from th$“national
government for educational purposes
and timr public school systems are
made more or less subservient to the
federai authorities, say opponents of
the measure.
Sponsors for the hill claim it will
remove to a great extent “illiteracy
in the United States which is so great
as to amount to not only a national
disgrace but a menace as well.’’
Closely allied with the problem of
the removal of illiteracy is the Amer-
icanization of the foreign-born citi-
zens they point out, of whom 5,000,000
can neither read nor write. The pro-
posed measure, it is contended, will
go far to remedy that situation.
