REPAIRS TO BE HELD UP
At VATICAN BASlLlCA
Will Be Taken Care of After Holy
Year-Not Needed
Immediately.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Assocl1ted FreSs
ROME, July 24.-The committee in
trusted with the preservation OF the
Vatican Basuica today announced
apropos of the observations of an
American architect In connection
with necessary repairs, that the
ravages of time in the historic edi-
flee presented no danger and that re-
pairs could be postponed until after
the holy year.
1t was asserted that Cardinal Merry
del Val. arch priest Of st. Peters, was
carefully following the observations
of the condition of the Vatican made
by independent architectural students
and by the technical bureau of the
Holy See, which included four achi-
tects who are constantly watching
the edifice.
After the holy year the repairs will
be submitted to an International COM
mission, not because Italian archi-
tects are not considered competent,
but because the Basilica is considered
world monument, so that the entire
world, Catholic and non-Catholic, is
interested in it's preservation.
TO show that there is no imminent
danger" the official announcement
declares, "it is enough to state that
bits of paper pasted over the cracks
dn the walls and dome) centuries
ago to determine whether they were
widening are Still unbroken. Two
centuries ago similar alarming re-
ports were circulated to such an ex-
tent that the faithful abstained from
entering the Basilica."

The sets are only being installed in

financially unable to purchase a ra-

that some of the persons who were
recommended to receive the sets were
either financially able to buy a radio

NEW YORK HAILED
AS WET RETREAT
Liquor to Be Had in Streets

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24.-Cali-
forni aprobably may be counted upon.
even at this advanced date, to cast
a strong preferential vote for New
York City as next Republican con-
vention city. This States prefer
ences, 1t is said. are going to be
nodded largely by tales of the open
house and open ways of the bootleg
gers there, just such as those that
have been brought home by Secretary
of State Frank c. Jordan. member of
| the California Republican delegation
to Cleveland and who, as a good Re-
publican, went on to New York to see
how the Democrats ran their con-
vention.
The gist of Jordan's tale, and 1t is
supported by numerous Democratic
delegates who now are struggling
back homeward, is that New York
as city that knows how to enter
tain bourbon delegates, but that 1t
went the city of Golden Gate several
better, particularly in the matter of
anti-Volsteadian beverages.
Finds Plenty of Liquor.
1T has been said that San Fran
cisco was notoriously wet during the
Democratic convention held here four
years ago." said Mr.. Jordan today.
Compared with New York's freedom
with liquor supplies during the recent
convention San Francisco was as arid
and dry as the Sahara, and it was
pretty wet here If you'll remember.

vention went liquorless it was entire

you could get bathed and shaved in

tronized largely by delegates, you
could get case whisky delivered to
your room in three minutes by going
to window and Winking."
Cleveland Not So Wet.
Mr.. Jordan, who has been Califor-
almost immemorial, who was the
only State officeholder of d dozen
years ago to defy the so-calied PRO
gressive" movement in California and
still be overwhelmingly elected, also
studied the prohibition question in
several other Eastern cities.
New York is wet. Washington is
wetter. and Pittsburgh is sopping,"
said Mr.. Jordan. You can buy liquor
in practically every big cafe in the
National Capital or New York. In
Pittsburgh you don't need to go TO
a cafe. Nobody in any OF the three
cities pays any attention to the
eighteenth amendment The prevail
ing opinion seems to be that Vol
steadism is the biggest joke in his
tory"
Regarding the Cleveland convention
Mr.. Jordan said: 1T was not SO wet
1t was not totally dry, however, he
admitted. all the liquor desired by the
Republican delegates being obtain
