ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland. Au-
gust 27.-Thirty- three lives lost and
property damage that probably will
total more than $150,000 was the toll
counted today from Thursdays great
storm in Newfoundland.
The possibility that the death list
and property damage figures may
mount much higher was seen in the
fact that scores of coast line COM
munities were still cut off from out
side communication tonight because
of damaged telegraph lines.
Five fishing schooners went down
with all hands, and II others were
known to have been destroyed with
their crews coming off safely.
twenty-five fishing boats were de-
stroyed at Bonavista without casual
ties, while nearly all the fishing
establishments at Bay de Merde were
demolished.
The coastal steamers Argyle and
Philomena were driven ashore, with
the passengers and crews reported
safe. Grave fears are felt here that
the Grand Banks fishing neet sur
fered heavily. but no authentic re-
ports have been received yet.
Passengers Are Saved.
The Argyle was ashore at Morgans

was forced to beach his ship to save
the passengers. The schooner Vienna

JAzzRAD|0 RAPED
BY VATICAN PAPER
Church Leaders Oppose Pro-
-"Conducive to Bad
Habits and Practices"
BY the Associated Press.


Rome, August 27.-Certain phases
Of radio broadcasting, as at present
practiced, are decried by the Osser.
vatore Romano, official organ of the
Vatican. High prelates in Italy, Spain,
Austria, Holland and CZechoslovakia,
it says, have taken a stand against
the broadcasting of programs con.
ducive to habits and practices frown-
ed upon by the church.
In Lombardy the installation of
radio sets in churches or buildings in
any way connected with churches has
been forbidden. 1t is expected that
this example soon will be followed in
Spain and other countries. Placing of
antennae on a church ha been banned
in Czechoslovakia.
Object to Jazzy Music.
In Austria Cardinal Piffl has urged
the faithful to try to keep radio con-
troll out of the hands of those who
would use it for jazz purposes. In
Holland a Catholic radiophonic insti-
tute has been founded.
The principal counts in the indict-
ment of present radio broadcasting
are: 1t is devoted primaril,' to stim-
ulating jazz dancing and bad habits
in general: it lends .tself more to
spreading cheap, vulgar, immoral
rather than good music; causes
waste of time by creating the habit
Of listening in for hours every day.
On the other hand, the church real
ICES that the radio has great possibil-
tiles for educational and moral pur-
poses.
Urges Church BrOadcasting.
"What could be more useful or
beautiful as a means of education than
the broadcasting of the voices of the
chiefs of government or the ministers

vatore Romano. He urges the crea-
ton of more church broadcasting sta
tions. many of which are already in
existence.

AMERICANS FATE UNKNOWN.
Consul Reports No Troops Have
Arrived at Scene of Siege.

By the Associated Press.
Uncertainty continued yesterday at
the State Department as to the plight
of is Americans reported besieged
Thursday in their homes at the Am.
paro Mines in Mexico when the min.
ing properties were seized by radicals.
A telegram, dated l pm. Friday.
from Consul Satterwhite at Guadala-
jara, informed the department that
telegraphic advices from Amparo were
that no Mexican troops, either federal
or state, had appeared on the scene
up to that morning. The governor Of
the state of Jalisco, however, was ex-
pected.
Contrasts With Promises.
This report contra sted with assur.
ances given Friday to the American
charge d'affaires by the Mexican act
ing foreign minister to the effect that
the military had matters in hand and
the situation" of the Americans at
Amparo was satisfactory"
Other reports from Mexico City in
dicated that President Gales had per.
sonally ordered the protection OF
American lives and property at the
mines.
State Department officials en-
phasized that the contradiction be-
tween the two messages to the depart
ment might be more apparent than
real, inasmuch as Satterwhite's report
was probably based on information
coming from Amparo in the early
morning, before Mexican troops had
opportunity to reach the mines.
Identity Is Unknown.
Since the message Friday to the
State Department, reporting the mine
seizure and the barricading of foreign
ers still at Amparo, no direct word OF
their condition has reached Washing
ton. The identity of the besieged is
likewise as yet unknown.
State Department officials said yes
terday that they had no evidence of
laxity on the part Of the Mexican gov
ernment in protecting American lives
and property.
The American embassy in Mexico
City is better able to judge as to the
official Mexican attitude, they said,
and therefore all action would be left
to it for the present.
Approval, however, of the embassy's
attitude in making representations
over the seizure of the mines and In
asking for Mexican federal protection
for the foreigners in Amparo was ca
bled to Mexico City. At the same time
the embassy was instructed to keep
the question of adequate protection
for American lives and property at
Amparo before the Mexican foreign
office.
