RELIEF CRISIS NEARS CLIMAX Administration Battles to Overturn Limitation Clause. By l nited Prr** WASHINGTON. April I.—The national relief crisis, aggravated by weeks of bitter congressional deadlock. neared a climax this afternoon. Administration leaders, on direct orders from President Roosevelt, battled in House and Senate to overturn a last-minute conference change in the $4,880,000,000 work relief measure. A picket line suddenly appeared at the White House made up of an Ohio unemployed group which protested that contemplated payments from the huge relief fund would be inadequate. Meantime, the Federal relief tills were virtually empty. Funds for only two days remained and the new relief tie-up in Congress indicated that no new money would be forthcoming until every cent of the present fund has been spent. The relief crisis was brought on by the bitter fight over a limitation inserted in the omnibus measure during conference between Senate and House requiring that one dollar out of every three going for public works be paid out in wages. Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson charged in the Senate that the section was inserted “apparently in violation of the rules of the Senate.” UPSIDE-DOWN BOY IS READY FOR OPERATION Upside-Down Girl, Recovering, Visits California Lad.

SPIRIT OF WAR IS CONDEMNED BY POPE PIUS Holy Father Exhorts World Statesmen to Toil for Peace. BY THOMAS B. MORGAN United Press Staff Correspondent (Copvrieht. 1935. bv United Press) VATICAN CITY. April I.—Pope Pius today condemned the warlike spirit of the present day and exhorted statesemen of the world to promote peace. The occasion was a secret consistory of the College of Cardinals, which at the pope's request, approved the canonization of John Fisher and Thomas More, whom Henry VIII beheaded in 1535 because they would not bow to his authority as against that of the panacy. Nineteen cardinals attended in the consistorial hall. "Reports of war, universally spread, arouse in every one the greatest fear,” the holy father said. War "Horrible Crime” "Meanwhile, we believe it opportune to take this wey as the apostolic office intrusted to us seems to require. We consider it would be a horrible crime, a foolish manifestation of wrath, if peoples again took arms one against the other to spill blood, brothers against brothers, so that destruction and ruin would be sown from the skies, on land and at sea.” , "Now we consider this absolutely impossible according to the juridical maxim: “ ‘Things which are against the right can neither come to pass nor be believed.’ "We can not convince ourselves that those to whose hearts the prosperity and welfare of peoples must be close can desire to excite souls to slaughter, ruin and devastation —not only their own nations, but a great part of humanity.” "Confound Those Peopies” “If anybody should commit this nefarious crime—and may the Almighty put far from us this sad forecast which we on our part believe will not come to pass—then we can not help but appeal again to Almighty God with this prayer from saddened souls: “ ‘Confound those peoples who desire war.' “Let this bp said because of the impossibility of any new war whatsoever. "The physical and material impossibility of war in these actual grave circumstances appears manifest to us, as to many others. In this present situation, in the anguish and sadness of these times which cause us to fear a future still sadder, let us place our faith in God to guide those whose hands hold the destiny of government and peoples.” TROLLEY RAMS AUTO Motorist Is Injured, Car Carried One-Third of Block.

Otto Ray said no such thing would happen. The Times was not snooping to discover these things, and they were not learned by hearsay. It is not necessary to mention time and address because the police records themselves indicate that the law was violated. For instance, John Montgomery, Clayton, Ind., was arrested yesterday for running his car into a parked car at 3218 W. Washing-ton-st. He admitted he was drunk and told police he had bought the beers over a bar at 359 W. Wash-ington-st, and he didn't have to give a pass word to get in. either. Other people were drinking there, too, he said. A drug store attendant was arrested for selling four bottles of beer to go out. Lieut. Thomas McCormick of the vice squad arrested Forest White, 30, of 1035 Shef-field-st, for possessing a pint of com whisky. He said he had bought the pint from Herschel T. Aubrey at 2121 W. Morris-st. Aubrey also was arrested. As for horse race betting, which Chief Morrissey put a lid on a week ago, rumors are persistent that certain spots have stayed open in violation of the order and have not been molested. That, to date, is the status of two noble experiments.

British Cabinet Envoy Looms as No. 1 Peace Man of All Europe. PLEDGE SOVIET SUPPORT Agreement Reached in Moscow Parley Real Threat to Adolf Hitler. By l nited Brrss MOSCOW, April I—Anthony Eden, British Cabinet envoy, neared Warsaw tonight on his visit to ask Polish leaders to join -an Eastern European treaty that would impose peace by military force. He was a diplomatic salesman. If he can sell Poland he may alter the whole trend of negotiations in Europe's arms crisis. He left Moscow last night after a three-day visit which cemented Russian-Brit-ish relations on a basis firmer than since 1914. The 37-year-old British war veteran and the Bolshevik leaders found themselves in complete agreement on means to preserve peace in Europe. Now it is his job to win Poland to the idea of joining with Russia and other nations in a treaty under which each would pledge its aid to any other that might be attacked. It was Poland's opposition to such a treaty that hardened Germany's attitude against it—and today made it appear that such a treaty would be signed, by France, Russia and Czechoslovakia if by no others. This might result in encircling Germany with nations ready to support each other against her. From Warsaw Capt. Eden goes to Prague to ask the veteran Edouard Benes, Czechoslovakian foreign minister, what he thinks of the treaty. Then Comes Strcsa Parley Then will come the critical diplomatic conference at Stresa, Italy, of the foreign ministers of Great Britain, France and Italy, which may create a take-it-or-leave-it offer to Nazi Germany. It was significant of the difference between Capt. Eden’s visit here and that of Capt. Eden and Sir John Simon to Bprlin to talk to Adolf Hitler that Maxim Litvinov, Russian foreign minister, said to the young Briton in bidding him farewell at the railway station last night: "I wish you every success, because your success is our success." He referred to the conversations at Warsaw, which will start formally tomorrow—Capt. Eden arrives tonight—and at Prague. - Communique Is Issued As significant as Mr. Litvinov’s farewell was the formal communique issued just before his departure. This was an agreed communique between the British and Russian negotiators and it said: "Conversations have taken place at Moscow in the last few days between Mr. Eden and Mr. Litvinov, upon the principal elements of the present international situation including the proposed Eastern pact and other questions set forth in the British-French communique of Feb. 3, as well as regards the further development of British-Russian relations. "During his visit Mr. Eden was received by Josef Stalin (leader of the nation, though not in the government) and Viacheslav Molotov (premier) and was able to exchange views with them on the same subjects. . . . "Mr. Eden, Stalin, Molotov and Litvinov were of the opinion that in the present international situation it was more than ever necessary to pursue the endeavor to promote the building up of a situation of collective security in Europe as contemplated in the British-French communique of Feb. 3 and in conformity with the principles of the League of Nations. Join In Firm Opposition It was emphasized in the conversations by Stalin, Molotov and Litvinov that organization of the security of eastern Europe and the proposed pact of mutual assistance does not aim at the isolation or encirclement of any state but for the creation of equal security for all participants and the participation in the pact of Germany and Poland would therefore be welcomed as affording the best solution of the problem. . . .” The communique was taken to mean that Russia and Britain will join France and Italy in firm opposition to unauthorized German rearmament and that Russia had persuaded Britain of the necessity of a security treaty even if Poland and Germany do not join. Britain hardly would be a signatory itself to such a treaty, but it was believed here that the fact Britain favored the treaty might exercise strong favorable influence on Poland. Nazi Germany ‘Uneasy’ By United Press BERLIN, April I.—Uneasiness was apparent in public opinion tonight regarding the growing sympathy between Great Britain and Russia cn means of assuring consolidation o' European peace. r >
