POPE PRESSES CLAIM TO TRAIN ITALY'S YOUTH Mussolini and Pius XI in Dispute Over Control of Education. BY THOMAS B. MORGAN United Pre* Staff Correspondent ROME, June B.—Despit-e open oisagreement between Pope Pius XI and the fascist government on rights of the church and the state to supervise education of Italy’s younger generations, formal exrhalge of ratifications of the lateran treaty will not be delayed. Premier Mussolini and Cardinal Gasparrl, papal secretary of state, will exchange the ratified pacts Friday. 4 The pope’s open letter to Cardinal Gasparri showed that the church find the fascist government, though agreed as to the terms of the treaty, are at considerable divergence as to their application and interpretation. Pope Pius’ letter characterized Mussolini’s utterances in speeches on May IT and May 25 as a painful setback iln the settlement of the aee-old Roman problem. He said he was disappointed with the statements made by the Italian premier and branded them as "even worse than heretical.” referring to Mussolini’s utterances about the essence of Christianity and, especially, Catholicism. Insult to Sacred City The pontiff was determined in his statements that the church alone had the right of supervising the education of the youth of Italy. “No harra can result from it.” the latter said. “The state can not fear from education Imparled by the church or under its direction. “It is such education that has prepared modern civilization in its best and loftiest aspects. “Science and scientific researches have much less than the state *0 fear in m he further developments of religion.'- teachings.’-’ Referring to Mussolini's speculation as to its fate had the Catholic church been founded in Jerusalem instead of in Rome, the letter said: “We are painfully surprised at the idea that'certain insults to such a sacred city as Rome should be tolerated in the name of freedom of conscience or by misplaced compassion. What freedom of conscience was it that was spoken about that would Ipad one on such a path?” No FVeedoni of Conscience The assertion that absolute freedom of conscience can be guaranteed. the pope said, could not be admitted by the church because it would be the equivalent to an admission that a creature was not subject to its creator. “it would legitimize any formation, or rather, deformation, in conscience, including the most criminal,'' the letter said. “Il it is meant that conscience can not be controlled by the state and that only the church is competent in matters of conscience by force of divine mandate, then it implicitly is admitted that in a Catholic state both freedom of conscience and discussion must be understood and exercised in accordance with Catholic doctrine.” ROYAL HONEYMOONERS GIVEN REGAL ESTATE Crown Prince Olaf and Bride Presented Home by Minister. ot/ United Peers OSLO, June 6.— The new home of Crown Prince Olaf and Crown Frincess Martha, forty-five minutes by automobile from Oslo, is one of the most magnificent in Norway and was the summer residence of Queen Sofia forty years ago.

START CLEANUP OF POSTOFFICE New Aid Named: Mails Are Being Revamped. fltz Scripps-Ifoy-nrd Xeicspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, June 6.— ln an effort to place the postal service on a self-sustaining basis, Walter F. Brown, postmaster-genera!, has begun a reorganization of the entire department. The appointment this week of F. A Tilton of Detroit as third assistant postmaster-general, in charge of the finance division, was the first step. Tilton is a partner of the accounting firm of Haskins <& Sells Company, and has been personally in charge of the accounting of General Motors. The postoffice department had a. deficit of $32,000,202 during the 1928 fiscal year and the estimated deficit for the 1929 fiscal year is $83,405,830, according to a repori of the house appropriations committee. The increase is due to lower postal rates, increased pay, increased payments for carrying mails on American ships, and the air mail. Brown expects to complete the reorganization of the department by July 1. A large part of the annual deficit is chargeable to free mail services of the government itself, including the congress. The frank privilege, it is estimated, costs about $16,000,000 a year. WATER RATE INCREASE AT VINCENNES UPHELD Appeals Court Reverses Decision of Federal Bench Here.

PLUCKY YANK TRAPS CLEVER FRENCH CROOKS Theft of Car in Paris Leads to Breaking Up of Shrewd International Band. Bn United Press PARIS, June B.— How an American with a goodly share of pluck, luck and courage managed singlehanded to trap one of the most j dangerous bands of international crooks was revealed here today by an ; official of the Paris police bureau. The American in question was Francis E. Willis, native of Cresson, Pa., who is engaged in a business here. The band of crooks involved is believed to have stolen more than 3.000 automobiles in France alone during ; the past year. The syndicate of thieves was the j most clever the French police had come in contact with in some time, shrewd, elusive, methodical. Make Their First Mistake Their first mistake, it serms, was when they decided to steal Willis’ automobile from in front of his own door. For the following night, while in a restaurant, Willis heard two men at j an adjoining table tell a third man j in German of the theft of a car. One of them said he had been able j to hide the car in question in a , garage at Chateau Thierry and that thev would pick it up the next after- ] noon and drive to Belgium, where 1 they had a ready customer for it, Willis feigned sleep and listened, j in on the conversation. He suspected j that the car they had mentioned j was his own and this suspicion was j confirmed when one of the trio of | thieves took an identity plaque from his pocket, bearing the name and j address of Willis. Rounding Up Band Willis went to the police. Then j he rounded up several friends and j went to Chateau Thierry. The following afternoon when the j three bandits and several of their j accomplices called at the garage to ] get the car Willis and his friends | lined them up against the wall and | held them there until the police | arrived. Traces of the band then were found all over France. More traces of them were found in Germany and \ Czecho-Slovakia. gradually 1 are being rounded up.
