Cardinals Kneel

This morning, Italian Cardinals i knelt in prayer for the Pope in the chapel and then presented the con- . dolences of King Victor Emmanuel and members of the royal family to His Eminence Eugenio Cardinal | Pacelli, acting head of the church j pending the election of a riew Pope. Then the more than 40 Cardinals, of Italy and other countries, who ‘had come here to celebrate today the 10th’'anniversary of the Lateran Treaty with Ifaly which restored the Popes to sovereignty, and the more than 200 bishops of the Italian church who had come with them, I held mass in honor of the Pope in the Sistine and Pauline @hapels. Next the Cardinals assembled for the first of their daily meetings pending the world conclave of Cardinals to elect a new Pope, who will be the 262d in the 19 centuries \\ of the Roman Catholic church.

Date May Be Chosen

It was announced officially that the Cardinals had decided the conclave would open as soon as “all Cardinals who have given notifica- " tion that they are coming to Rome” have arrived. It was signified that the Cardinals would not wait until expiration of the maximum 18-day period after the Pope’s death but would expedite matters-if all the Cardinals ar- | rived before 18 days. The mourning of Italians for the | Pope seemed even deeper than that | which normally marks the death of | a head of their Catholic Church. | There was a deep atmosphere of | sorrow. Italian newspapers stopped | their polemics on -international questions. All celebratory public - activities were suspended. The cafes | were unusually quiet. The Fascist Grand Council, supreme body of the Fascist hierarchy, held but a short meeting last night, | instead of the long one planned on | national defense and the antiFrench campaign, and said in. .a communique: “The -Grand Council met at 10 p. am. The Council approved the | following order of the day: | ““The Fascist Grand Council forwards respectful homage to the memory of - Pope Pius XI, - who strongly desired reconciliation between the church and the Italian state. This most great event, which after 60 years of vain attempts solved the Roman question with the Lateran treaty and established by means of a concordat the collaboration between state and church, was intended to safeguard the Fascist and Catholic unity of the Italian

people.’ ” : Italian. Choice Expected .

Speculation regarding a successor to the Pope centered on the names of Their Eminences Lingi Cardinal Lavitrano, archbishop of Palermo; Elia' Cardinal Della Costa, archbishop of Florence, and Adeato Cardinal Piazza, patriarch of Venice. More than is usual, the possibility. that a. foreign pope might be named this time was discussed in church circles. Here the names of Their Eminences Giacomo Luigi Cardinal Capello, archbishop of Buenos Aires; Auguste Cardinal Hlond, archbishop of Gnesia and

Forget Colonies During Mourning.

LONDON, Feb. 11. (U. P.).—His Holiness Pope Pius: XI in death may make an important contribution to the peace of Europe for which he worked so hard in life, reports from European capitals indicated today. Dispatches from Rome, as well as reports in diplomatic quarters here, were that Italy’s campaign against France might be delayed for weeks. Coincident with these reports a United Press dispatch quoted some diplomatic quarters as believing that Premier Mussolini even before the Pope's death was showing increasing eagerness to reach an agreement with France without precipitating a crisis. Both Great Britain and. France were working urgently, if in greatest secrecy, to end the Spanish Civil War and at the same time to see that Spain in peace was freed of Italian and German troops. These and other signs led diplomats to believe that the death of the Pope, and the sincere mourning for him in Europe, might give the continent a breathing space during which the threat of international complications could be made more

remote, Italy Holds Key

Italy was the center of the situation for the moment. Dispatches said Italians had ‘stopped talking about France and were talking of the Pope's death and the election of his successor. Italian newspapers had dropped their anti-France articles. It was reported that Premier Mussolini might postpone the speech he had intended to make at Turin Feb. 19—a speech in which he was expected to advance his antiFrance campaign another stage. It was reported that but for the Pope's death, the Fascist’ |Grand Council would ‘have issued a strong communique last night on the French situation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (U.P).— The death of His Holiness Pope Pius XI will delay House consideration of President Roosevelt's national defense program. | Leaders announced that the House, in respect for the pontiff, would adjourn Monday immediately after meeting.

Ft. Wayne Requiem Masses Ordered

FT. WAYNE, Ind, Feb. 11 (U.P). —The Most Rev. John “F. Noll,

today announced a potifical requiem high mass for repose of the sot of His Holiness Pope Pius XI would held at 9 a. m. -Wednesday. Bishop Noll has instructed every priest in the diocese to offer similag requiem masses the same morning.

Posnania in Poland, and Emanuele Goncalves Cardinal Cerejeira, archbishop of Lisbon. His Eminence Jean Cardinal Verdier, archbishop of Paris, was mentioned. But he, like His Eminence

bishop of Milan, among the Italian Cardinals was held to be too friendly to the Democracies fo be a likely choice. Of United States Cardinals, His Eminence George William Cardinal Mundelein of Chicago was most frequently mentioned. His Eminence Cardinal Villeneuve, archbishop of Quebec, now here, was mentioned. After all the speculation, however, the feeling seemed to be that an

Italian was likely to be elected in the end.

| Third U. S. Member of Sacred College to Go Next Week.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11 (U. P)— Two American Cardinals sail today for Rome to participate in the election of a successor to His Holiness Pope Pius XI, whom 21 million American Catholics mourned with the most solemn rituals of their church.

His Eminence Goirge Cardinal Mundelein, archbishop of Chicago, speeding here by train from Florida, and His Eminence Dennis Cardinal Dougherty, archbishop of Philadel phia, en route by auto, will board the Italian liner Rex for Naples this afternoon. The other American Cardinal, /His Eminence William Cardinal O’Connell, archbishop of Boston, was returning from Nassau, Bahamas, aboard the Cunard White Star liner Britannic, due here Monday. Passage has been booked for. him, aboard the Italian liner Saturnia, sailing Wednesday, but since it is a slow Mediterranean cruise ship and will not reach Naples until March 3, it was believed that Cardinal O’Connell might change his sailing to the Aquitania which leaves next Saturday and’ arrives in Cherbourg, France, Feb. 24. The latter boat would enable Cardinal ‘O’Connell to proceed to Vatican City by train in time for the Conclave of the College of Cardinals, expected to begin either Feb. 25 or Feb. 28. The Cardinal might also change from the Saturnia to the Neptunia at Gibralter on Feb. 26 and reach’ Rome on March 1 along with His Eminence Giocomo Cardinal Capello of Buenos Aires.

Sailing Delayed Two Hours

Twice previously, individual American Cardinals have attended the election of a Pope, but for the first time this country was sending its full delegation. Cardinal O’Connell, whose ‘health has been failing, ended his seclusion at Nassau to board the ship for New York last night. At 79, he is dean of Cardi-nal-Priests, one of the three units of the Sacred College, and as such is one of the four Cardinals serving as the governing body of the church pending the election of a new pope. The Rex had been scheduled to sail at noon but Italian line officials set the time back two hours to await Cardinal Mundelein, who was due at 1:35 p. m. The Rex arrives in Naples Feb. 18. From there it is a three-hour train ride to Rome.

‘God in Government’

Crusade Begun

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (U. P). —A high Roman Catholic Church dignitary today asked the 21 million Catholics in the United States to join a national crusade for “God in Government” in tribute fo the memory of His Holiness Pope Pius

The Rt. Rev. Msgr. Joseph Corrigan, rector of the Catholic University of America, said Catholics will be asked to pledge themselves to “defend the republic against atheistic propaganda, to maintain respect for rightly constituted authority and obedience to lawful administrators. and finally to combat fearlessly every invasion of the rights of any citizen or any group of citizens.” Msgr. Corrigan announced the crusade at a Catholic University Academia at which the Most Rev. Michael J. Curley archbishop of Baltimore and the Rev. Fr. Patrick J. McCormick, university vice rector, honored the memory of the Holy Father. The Academia was broadcast nationally and was rebroadcast by short wave for reception at Vatican City. It was the first time an American Catholic educational institution has broadcast for Vatican City. Msgr. Corrigan said Catholic pastors in pulpits will ask Catholics to join the crusade tomorrow or the

following Sunday.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (NEA).—By day the national capital is exciting enough. By night it is nothing less than magical. When the sun goes down they turn on the floodlights.

There is a suspicion that Senator Clark’s desertion on foreign’ policy. offers merely the best talking point against him, and that there may be other reasons behind the cooling off of some conservatives toward the Clark candidacy. For instance, Postmaster General Farley let it be known some time ago that he was thumbs down on the Clark candidacy. Mr. Farley and the Vice President have become cronies of late. Are these two cooking. something up?

(“What Next in Spain,” Page Nine) PERPIGNAN, French - Spanish Frontier, Feb. 11 (U. P.). — The Spanish Loyalist Cabinet met in Valencia today and discussed the edvisability of continuing the civil war, it was reported here. ; It was the first meeting of the

full Loyalist Cabinet in several days. During this time Generalissimo Franco’s Rebel troops have pushed the remnants of the Loyalist Army to the French border. ; The Cabinet was to hear the report of Gen. Jose Miaja, now Generalissimo and commander-in-chief of all Central Spain. He told Premier Juan Negrin and other leaders the exact military situation, including sources of arms and food. While the Cabinet met, its members were urged by the Provincial Socialist Federation to continue the war. The Federation appealed to all its members to redouble their efforts and support the Government “in one more difficult moment which is not impossible to surmount.” The removal of the Loyalist Government. to Central Spain, and the selection of Madrid—from which it fled in November, 1936—as the “new” capital seemed to indicate that resistance had been decided upon, in an effort to force important peace concessions from the Rebels and also to hold on in hope that international crisis might turn the tide in favor of the Republican cause. Peace Hopes Rise

But it was asserted today in apparently reliable sources that the eventual decision of the Loyalist leaders was likely to be to seek the best ‘terms they could get with tie ald of Great Britain and France,

and to concede victory to the Rebels. These sources, presumably on the basis of conversations already held among leading Loyalists, pointed out that though it still controls an important area of Central Spain, the Loyalist Government controls only four ports—Almeria, Valencia, Alicante and Cartagena. War inare concentrated at Alicante, and munitions stores at Cartagena, it was said.. The Rebels already have started daily merciless bombardments of the ports and are talking about a drive down the coast. Their warships are tighten{ing the blockade.

Liechenstein Sought

LO. N, Feb. 11 (U. P.).—The Exchange Telegraph "Agency today

tiations were under way in Vienna with a view. of bringing the tiny sovereign state of Liechtenstein and its 11,0000 inhabitants under the domination of Germany. German authorities were said to be conferring on the matter with the Prince of Liechtenstein, Franz Joséph, who succeeded ' his uncle Prince Franz I as ruler when the latter abdicated last March 30. The dispatch said that the Prince has large estates in Austria and Czechoslovakia and that the threat of expropriation of these lands apparently was being used by Berlin as an argument in favor of “Anschluss. ” It was asserted that Germany did not contemplate military occupation of the 65-square-mile principality but sought to achieve “Blei-deh-Shultung,” or economic cooperation.

: NOONAN DROPS OUT OF MANTON INQUIRY

Stock in Ex-Judge’s Firm Once Listed in Name.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11 (U. P.)— Acting U. S. Attorney Gregory F. Noonan withdrew today from the investigation of the conduct of Martin T. Manton, resigned Federal cireuit judge, coincident with the disclosure that 3000 shares of stock in one of Mr. Manton’s corporations had once been listed in his name. Mr. Manton resigned as senior Judge of the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals two weeks ago after District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey, conducting a state tax investigation, had charged that Mr. Manton, cor-porations-he controlled or persons in his employ had received loans from persons or corporations acting for litigants “in. Mr. Manton’s court. : uamney General Frank Murphy in Washington had ordered a thorough ‘investigation: of Mr. Manton’s conduct. Mr. Noonan was in charge of it. His investigators learned last night from records of the AlamacEsplanade Corporation surrendered by- Mr. Manton to a Federal grand jury, that Mr. Noonan’s name had been listed as a stockholder. :Mr, Noonan notified Murphy that he was withdrawing voluntarily| from the investigation “so that there can be no possible grounds for cri-

“I have competent evidence,” said Rep. Maas, “that both Japanese and German military planes have flown over Guam recently. They were seaplanes, and they made seve eral flights, and they came over together. They were of such’ a type that they had to be based close by.” Asked how recently the flights occurred, he said they were made last autumn. “I ask,” he added; “that the Jape anese Government permit an Amer= ican commission to investigate the islands, in view of Tokyo's denial of my statement. “IZ this is done, and no fortificas tions or preparation for fortifica= tions are found, then I shall persone ally advocate doing nothing further with Guam.”
