POPE ASSAILS PERSECUTIONS Strongly Denounces Persecution Os Catholic Church Vatfcan City, Oct. 21. — (U.R) — Pope Pius strongly denounced current persecutiini of the church in a speech which he made at Castel Gandoifo yesterday, the text of his remarks disclosed when released today by the Vatican. The pope apparently referred to ' the anti-Catholic disturbances in Vienna when he mentioned "a certain parallelism at the recent mo- ' ment” with the times of Nero as well as the middle ages when Christians were persecuted and held responsible for acts which they did not commit.

I attack on the palace of Cardinal 1 Innitier, archbishop of Vienna, the ' pope said that the persecution of t "a son entrusted by Jesus Christ ), to his vicar (the pope) strikes and ' saddens the pope ... he has struck at the holy purple of the high ( Shepherd." The text of the speech was revised by Vatican officials, after ■ consultation with the pope, before ’i it was published because it was ’, worded so strongly. No copy existed except one de- ■ 1 , livered to Mgr. Pucci, head of the ' ' Vatican press bureau, which was' I ’ turned over to the papal secretar- j I iat of state on request of the vatl-1 1 j can. Officials said all unofficial | versions were highly inaccurate, , because mosto f those who heard j the speech were non-Italians and ’ unable to understand exactly his manner of speaking in Italian. The speech was made at the pope's summer estate to delegates of the fourth international Christian archeology congress, headed by Mgr. Johann Peter Kirsch, director of the pontifical institute of Christian archaeology. The pope in his speech denied that the church interferes in politics (a charge frequently made by the nazis-. Declaring that all his life he had worked only for the common good, the pope said: “This is our policy. It is a lie, a lie never enough denounced, that charges that the Holy See and the pope are following policies outside that of the glory of good and for the good of souls.” In his introductory r tmarks about archeology, the pope made several veiled thrusts at nations that are unearthing archeological pieces whose value is limited solely to the exaltation of their ideologies.

Accentuating ft, was the fact that Hungary and Poland have demanded unofficially that Hungary be cede dthe whole province of Ruthenla, so* that it would have a common frontier which they could fortify against Russia. o Reports Stolen Money Orders Being Cashed — A warning was issued today by I Mrs. Lola Macklin. Decatur post- ' mistress, against the acceptance ct money orders from strangers. Mrs. Macklin said that on October 3. 1938. blank domestic mall order form numbered from 98.801 to 99000 inclusive were stolen from the the post office at Galveston. Some of these have been cashed< at Paris and Joliet, Illinois. Cincinnati, Ohio, and Louisville, Kentucky. According to the latest reports, three men and a woman are involved in cashing the stolen mon- ’ ty orders. o Special Missionary Meeting At Church Rev. and Mrs. J. S. Ludwig, mis- 1 sionaries on furlough from East Africa, will be at the Church of God tonight. These missionaries have spent 11 years in Africa and are now back to America on their first furlough. In the service, pic-! titres will be shown of the work, of the buildings, of the heathen parades and many other interesting things which happen in the neigh-: borhood of the missionaries over 1 and over again. The public is cordially invited to attend this service.

Jelliga was the father of two daughters, Lillian, two months. and Irene, two years. His wife and children visited him before he died. 73 PERSONS ARE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) while in another “political ad-, vantage of just an opposite type was sought.” Time of the violations was unspecified and copies of specific' charges against the defendants were not immediately available. ] General charges for indictments said that threats were used to compel WPA workers to join with indicted officials in taking joint and unified political action. WPA employes reportedly were made to help in political campaigning while they were on the payroll. The jury charged that WPA employes were made to join political clubs disguised as social organizations and made to pay dues and buy tickets to so-called social functions. Those who failed in political service, the jury said, lost their jobs. o Decatur Lad Sells Story To Newspaper Robert Johnson, a graduate of Decatur high school and new a student of journalism at Indiana university, has sold the newspaper rights of a serial story written by him to the Chicago Daily News, it has been learned here. Bob wrote the greater portion of the serial this summer while vacationing in this city with his parents, Col. and Mrs. Roy Johnson. He is also an accomplished musician, having done some of his own composing. The story is expected to appear in the columns of the Chicago paper in serial form within a short time. —o R.

ELEVEN OF DIAMONDS' 7 U ?y x BAYNARD H. KE NDRICK

CHAPTER XXX We’ve sweated six pounds off of that pill-box, Carew, who you shipped in last night, and learned just what he told you at the Inn—no more.” “That’s all he knows, Vance.” Stan left his chair to sit on the edge of Leßoy’s desk. “We’re getting close to the place where we can make that tub Bessinger and his fat wife loosen up with some information. The trouble is—l’m afraid it won't do us much good.” “Why? If your girl friend told you the truth last night—Bessinger ■ertainly has all the dope on the eleven of diamonds.” “Not all the truth. That’s the rub. He doesn’t know much more about it than Fowler did. If we force him to talk now—unless we jail him—he and his wife will be in the morgue with Fowler the next day. You've skipped a couple on your list—Toby and the spick. Give them to me—and I’ll tell you where I think we stand.” “Toby Munroe has been under my nose for years. His worst crime seems to be carelessness where the gambling laws are concerned. Juan told you the truth about his stretch on Welfare Island. We know very well he didn’t shoot at you on the roof. He was in the kitchen with a tracked head.” Stan picked up the papers from, the desk. “These came from Fow-' tor’s car?" “They were in a specially built wnpartment in the upholstery of •Jie rumble seat. Scarlett, of the suto squad, found it. Maybe they toiean something to you—they’re Dreek to me. Look." He laid the twelve sheets side by side on the desk.* On the first one was typed four lines in German: Etna me hr wie zehn W enig er wie ein Bauer Zeige deine Hand Bekamme das Paket The other sheets contained a single line each. Stan listed them one under the other on a pad. He and Leßoy stared curiously at the result: Vaal 74 rhombic dodecahedron val 50000ster ap bw Vaal 82 rhombic dodecahedron val 70000 ster ap bw Vaal 70 rhombic dodecahedron val 40000 ster ap bw F’smith OO rhombic dodecahedron val 65000 ster ap yel F’smith 60 rhombic dodecahedron val 25000 ster ap yel F’smith 58 hexakis octahedron val 30000 ster ap bw Jags 52 hexakis octahedron val 20000 ster ap yel Jags 63 hexakis octahedron val 26000 ster ap yel Jags 70 hexakis octahedron val 45000 ster ap bw Kim 55 hexakis octahedron val 25000 ster ap yel Kim 51 hexakis octahedron val 28000 ster ap bw i Stan picked up a pencil from the T?esk. His hand was palsied as he totaled the figures—424,ooo. “Lord in Heaven, Leßoy,” he said in a weak voice. "I don’t think it was dope came ashore in that milk bottle. This was Fowler’s big game hunt, Vince. The words mean Vaal, Fauresmith, Jagersfontein, and Kimberly. The first figures are carats. The last figures are pounds sterling. Four hundred and twentyfour thousand pounds approximately. The two men killed, Vince, died because they knew too much about two million dollars worth of uncut diamonds!” Leßoy started at the sheet granite-faced. “The German, Stan?” “One more than a ten, but less than a Jack.

front of you, Vince. Count the lines I’ve written on the sheet” “Eleven.” “Sure," said Stan. “The eleven of diamonds!” Tho office was still for a long time. Shallow furrows showed on Leßoy’s forehead, growing deeper as he concentrated on the paper before him. Stan shoved himself higher up on the desk until one foot cleared the floor. He became so engrossed in a problem, which had dimly taken possession of his mind, that he started when the Captain broke the silence with a question. “Vaal—and these other names you mentioned—what are they?” “Diamond mines in Africa. Rhombic dodecahedron diamonds have twelve faces—the hexakis-octahed-rons have forty-eight. The BW and the YEL at the end describe the color—blue-white and yellow. That’s a choice collection of unusual stones, Vince. I can think of only one world event which might possibly have brought them together—the coronation of England’s new King. Leßoy picked up the phone. “Get me Milton Perry.” He covered the transmitter with one hand. “You think those diamonds were stolen?" Stan nodded. “Without a doubt. Haven’t you a description on file in the department?” “Probably. It wouldn’t come to my department If anybody in this country knows about them—Perry will.” “The lapidary?” Leßoy nodded and spoke into the phone. “Milt ? Leßoy. What do you know about eleven uncut diamonds all over fifty carats 7 Have you had anything from the jewelers’ protective?” Stan sat for five minutes as Perry’s voice clicked over the phone, growing in intensity. Then Leßoy said: "Now, I wouldn't be asking about them if I knew where they were. Thanks, Milt!” “Mr. Perry seemed to be interested,” Stan remarked. “I don’t wonder. There’s a reward of twenty-five thousand pounds been offered for those stones. That’s some wad, Stan, a hundred and twenty-five grand.” “What’s the story?” “They were collected by experts to fill an order from eleven Indian princes—‘Nazims’ or something like that—who wanted them as a token of friendship to the King. The costly stones were shipped under heavy guard to Amsterdam, Holland, for cutting. When they arrived in Amsterdam—they had turned into pebbles—a clean job of substit ition. Right now they’re hot as Havana on the fourth of July." “A couple of men have died from that heat prostration, Vince. It took a jewel thief full of cunning and courage to lift those stones. Suppose you had taken them—where would you try to sell them?” The Captain took a large handkerchief from his pocket, unfolded it, and absently replaced it. "The buyer would have to have the,money —first. Even hot ice like that should bring half a million.” "Check.” "Then I’d have to know that the buyer was crooked and safe—” “And had an organization big enough to dispose of the stones after they were bought, and cut. Otherwise your buyer wouldn’t be interested. Do you know anyone with all those qualifications?" "I think I do,” Leßoy said slowly, "and he didn't come back to Miami, against my warning, just to watch the bangtails run.” Fred Fawcett came into the office carrying the milk bottle Stan had left in the morning. “A good set of prints,” he said tersely. “They check with those we have of Toby

Oct. 21 —(UP)—Barcelona counted 25 dead, including five children and 12 women, and 70 wounded today after a night of terror caused by insurgent aerial bombardment. Four women were killed while crossing the Central market at dawn, when one bomb wrecked the market and burled the women. 2*BBB I . S. Volunteers Killed In Spanish War Hendye. French-Spanish frontier Oct. 21 —(UP) —Spanish insnregent advices today said that a total of 2,888 American volunteers had been killed while fighting with the Loyalist armies in the civil war. The Rebel estimate of Americans killed was issued from Sa’amanca headquarters and covered the entire period since the civil war began more than two years ago. Yesterday, frontier advices estimated that about 5.000 Americans were being evacuated from Spain in connection with withdrawal of foreigners from the conflict.

Munroe.” He placed the bottle on Leßoy’s desk. “No others, Fred?" the Captain asked. “Smears,” said Fawcett, and went out. The Captain regarded the bottle with the same look he might have given a ticking bomb. “What on earth would Toby be doing with the bottle?” Stan slid off the desk and grinned. "We’ll find out tonight. Maybe he was drinking milk. I’ll see you on the Swampfire at eleven.” • • • The Swampfire's powerful twin engines were turning over easily Tvhpn Stum wpnt nn board shortly before eleven. Four other cruisers were berthed at the Royal Palm Dock, but only one of them showed a light to indicate anyone might be on board. Stan stepped quietly on the deck, and turned around. The slip was lighted with a few overhead bulbs, dark shaded, and strung along on wires. The illumination fell in hard flat circles, battling against an atmosphere soaked to the point of saturation until every shadow was enhanced. From somewhere along the dock he had heard the sound of a small boat scraping against one of the darkened cruisers. He listened intently, but there was no repetition. It was impossible to see beyond the flat pic-pans of light With a feeling that his nerves were becoming temperamental, he dismissed a strong inclination to investigate, and walked aft A tight strung awning of brown canvas roofed a cockpit at the stern, forming a neat place for deep sea fishing. Stan stepped under the awning. On the starboard side, an open hatchway led below to the main cabin. On the port side three steps led up to a platform. The dim reflection of a binnacle light showed Stan a steering wheel and several controls, shielded by a thick adjustable glass. A small upholstered seat was provided for the comfort of the pilot. At the right of the seat hung a chart of the coast from Miami to Key West. A form darkened the hatchway. Bruce Farraday came up from below and greeted Stan. “The Commander’s in the engine room with Tolliver," he said. “We're all set. Where’s your friend Leßoy?” “He’ll be here. Did your daughter and Mrs. Staunton decide to come along?” “They're in the lounge up forward. It's rather warm below. Here’s Leßoy now." A step sounded on the dock, and the Captain was visible for an instant under one of the lights. A moment later’ he joined them. The Commander came on deck, and with a word of greeting, stepped up onto the control platform. “I’ll take her out, Mr. Farraday. We’re going out through the Safety Valve and I know every inch of the way. Is everyone aboard?” Stan nodded. “Captain Leßoy and I will go ashore and cast off. Come on Vince!” "We’re towing a tender," Dawson warned. "Y ou better make sure that it’s clear of the dock.” “I’ll watch it," Stan promised. He cast off the stern line, and watched Farraday haul it aboard, thinking how hard people will work —when they call the work play. A splash at the bow, told him that the Swampfire was freed of her moorings. With a boathook he pushed the small tender out from the dock, and went back on board. Leßoy followed, picking up the small gangplank behind him. (To Be Continued) CoDyrithl by Greenberg. Publisher, Ine. •UUlbuud to MUx BMin irodleeu, W.

DEMO LEADERS (CONTINUED FROM PAGF? ONE) Sen. Sherman Minton continued his tirade against critics of the reciprocal trade treaties in a campaign speech here lust night and charged them with making "the same insincere attack upon them as they made against social security in 1936." "Those people who go running around the state with baskets of imports either are deliberately deceiving the people or they do not know that the farm and industrial goods that the United States sells abroad far outweighs the imports," Minton said. “They say that imports have increased since 1932. Well, 1932 was the low point in the slump of world trade. And after all, why should any foreign nation want to invade our market when corn was selling for 10 and 20 cents? The only time there have been sizeable imports has been when the price for domestic commodities has been high because of a shortage. “They say that imports are dragging the price of farm products down. It works just the other way around, because imports do not come into this country unless there is a scarcity and the price is high.” Continue Relief Jeffersonville, Ind., Oct. 21. —(U.P.) —Gov. M.
