There will be no shutdown at
Kennett, whatever happens in the

prevail The Mammoth will continue
in operation in spite of everything
and will proceed with all the many
Improvements it has under way"

POPE OPPOSES
COSTLY DISPLAY

ROME, Sept. 27.-Pope Plus said
today to the cardinals who were pre-
senting him with their homage in
celebration of his sacerdotal jubilee,
that he desired festivities to be en-
tirely deprived of any political char
acter. All money collected during
the year, he said, must be spent for
the improvement of the conditions
of poor Catholics throughout the
world, in the building of churches
wherever needed and in gifts to the
poorest of the religious institutions
which were really deserving.
The pope concluded by saying that
he preferred that people should si-
lently pray for the exaltation of the
Catholic church and that money in
tended for unnecessary display
should be applied to charitable OBJ
jects.
