GERMAN TENNIS I TEAM A THREAT

|German Davis ('up Team To Meet United States This Week-End Prague, Czechoslovakia, July 15. . (U.R> Germany's Davis cup aces, led by Baron Gottfried von Crainrn, today stood a good chance of becoming the first reich team to enter the challenge round. With von Crainrn, recent all-Eng-land finalist, participating in three victories, the Germans eliminated Czechoslovakia, four matches to one. yesterday and earned the right to meet the United States in the inter-zone tinals this week-end. The masterful fashion in wnich ' \bn t'ramm and his mates subdued ! a strong Czech team made them at j least an even choice to move into ' the finals against England, cup defender. Von Crhtnm clinched the series yesterday with a 6-2, 6-4. 3-6, s’-7, 6-1 vic ory over Roderick Henzel, towering Czech, to semi Germany 1 into the inter-zone round for the [third time in cup history. The baron, member of the 1932 team Which was eliminated, three matches to two, by the Americans, won a singles match Friday, played on Saturday's victorious doubles team, and then fought a bitter duel with Menzel to capture the series. Young Heiner Henkel, who played Menzel to five sets on Friday before losing Germany’s only match, routinely defeated Joseph Faska. 2-6. 7-5, 6-4, 6-0. in -the tinal singles match which had no bearing on the outcome of the series. The Ge. mans will be meeting the United States for the third time in his’ory when they clash in the inter-zone finals. The first reich team to gain the hoftor was the 1929 combination, which was eliminated. five matches to nothing, by William Tilden. Frank Hunter, Johnny Van Ryn, and Wilmer Alli-

POPE CHARGES broken faith Pope Pius Charges Hitler Has Broken Hith With Vatican

Rome. July 15 -XU.PJ ’ through the official Vatican organ. Obzervatore Romano, today _chaTg Pd tiat Relchsfuehrer Adolf H I ler of Germany had broken faith with the Vatican by disregarding a * Concordat which promised non-ln- t terference with the church in (.er I "'‘‘a painful situation has been created,” the newspaper said. »or some time Catholics in Germany have been going through d fficult h OU „ in defense of their dogma, their morals and their other in , alienable rights. .-This is unexplainable and is j irreconcilable with the published assurances Herr Hitler gave when he took possession of the German government, namely that he wishe-t to respect the church and observe ' stipulations of the concordat. •One can think of serious moles-, tatlon suffered by ecclesiastical, authorities as being provoked by ( reckfess extremists.” the journal continued, "but now Dr. Frick (Dr. Wilhelm F. Frick, minister of the i interior) has made statement* ! whereupon discussion is unneces1 sary- , , | "The first concerns the law or ■ sterilization. According to Minist*'er Frick this law must be observed . by every CathoUc although the I church instructs against sterlliza- [ tion and it is condemned by Divine , I law.”

Observatore then called attention to Frick’s alleged attacks on Catholic youth organizations and remarked that the concordat provides that priests and Catholic law instructors shall in no wise be restricted from explaining publicly the doctrines and maxims of the church. "The concordat.” the paper said, “guarantees full liberty in the preaching and teaching of the faith as we.’l as freedom of the press." The Holy See's remarks apparently were occasioned by recent incidents in Germany Involving the closing of some churches, the expulsion of nuns and priests and moves by the government to curtail expansion of Catholic youth organizations. o Dragged To Death Behind Automobile Belvidere. 111., July 15—(UP) — Sheriff Fred Smith and local (Police joined today in an intensive search for >i killer who dragged his Ttetiun to death behind a speeding automobile.
