naval engineers and submarine eX-

steamship City Of Rome.

crew of the vessel that was sunk
last Friday night might have found
refuge and still be alive in the en-

The S51 refused today to bulge
from her bed of sand at the oceans
bottom. She withstood the efforts of
two monster floating derricks that
strained at their cables in a desper-
ate effort to bring her to the surface.
Still determined to leave no stone
unturned, Rear Admiral II. II. Chris

descend to learn whether water or
air filled the engine room of the YES

Word that the Monarch and Cen

was received at the submarine base

Christy reading:
Extreme combined lift of Monarch

once raised, the S-51 probably
would be lowed to the Boston navy
yard before her matches would be
opened and bodies recovered. From
Boston, officers said, she would be
taken to the Portsmouth, N. H.. yard
for repairs. this yard being especially
fitted for work on submarines.
To put the S-51 in condition would
cost, it was estimated, from 100000
to S1,OO0,O0O. She originally cost to
build about $2,500,000. In addition to
repairs to the hull, new batteries and
electric lines would be required and
it was said all her motors probably
would be found to be grounded.

Vatican Newspaper
Criticism Raises Query

Rome, Sept. 10-(A. p. by MaiD-
Entry of the Osservatore Romano,
official newspaper Of the Vatican,
into critical polemic with various
Fascist newspapers on the use by
Fascists of personal violence as a
political weapon, has brought up the
interesting question: HAS the Ital-
ian government the right to control
or to suppress the newspaper of the
Holy See for political reasons?"
This unusual development, creating
new aspect of relations between the
government and Vatican and tending
to imperil the already considerable
work of Premier Mussolini in remov-
ing causes of friction with the Holy
See, has been brought up by the en-
barkment of the Osservatore Romano
upon campaign of frank criticism
of the use of violence as a political
weapon at any time or for any pur-
pose.
Abandoning its customary dignified
aloofness. the Papal newspaper al
most has daily printed articles in
which Fascist tactics have been criti-
cized freely and Fascist apologists
have been answered in some detail
The newspaper has gone so far as to
engage in spirited polemic with
Roberto Farinacci. secretary general
of the Fascist Party, and has not
hesitated to tell him boldly, in ans
wer to his repeated demands that 1t
cease interference with purely politi-
cal affairs, that 1t intends to stop it's
comments when 1t no longer has any
thing to say and only then.
Yet, while the official press censor
has suppressed neutral and opposi-
ton newspapers for the slightest
breath of criticism of governmental
tactics, the Vatican newspaper has

Franklin's Kite Claims
Verified by New Letter

Cincinnati, Oct. 1-(AP)-Lately
American historians have been
bombing the story of the flight Of
Benjamin Franklin's electricity de-
tecting kite. They have attempted to
relegate the legend to the junk heap
Of historical fallacies. Their claim
has been that, had Franklin tried the
experiment. he would have been
electrocuted and burned to a crisp
brown crust.
But a book has been discovered,
piled with 10000 other volumes in a
garage store room owned by the
Cincinnati public library. containing
a letter written by Franklin himself
on the experiment and it's results.
The volume is compendium of
many letters written by Franklin
and members of the Royal Scientific
Society of London.
While the story handed down
placed the scene of the trial In the
tower of old Christ Church in Phila-
delphia, Franklin fails to mention t. e
locality. 1t is also evident that he
had no intention of attracting light
ming to his kite, but that he merely
wanted to prove the presence of cleo
trical energy in the atmosphere dur
ing thunderstorm.
The letter was written probably in
1852.
