Associated Press Correspondent.


ROME, May 5--The Pope will prob
ably postpone until June the consistory
which was planned for this month.
Rumors from Vatican circles indicate
that Plus XI wants to raise Mgr.
pacelu, papal muncio at Munich to the
purple, but does not desire to confer
this honor until Mgr Pacelli shall have
completed concordats with all the Ger
man states. Agreements still remain
unsigned with Wurttemberg and Prussia,
and concOrGat is to follow with the
entire German reich. which will be a
summing up OF agreements with the
various states which make up the re-
public.
Should Mgr. Pacelli complete the con-
cordats with Prussia and Wurttemberg
before the proposed June cOnsistory, it
is likely that he may be elevated to
cardinal at that time and permitted to

Attempt to Close
Farm Bill Hearings
in Committee Fails

Washington, Feb. 17.-R)-The
efforts Of Representative Andersen,
Republican, Minnesota, to close farm
relief hearings on the house agricul-
ture committee failed today, and the
Minnesotan served notice that he
would renew his motion Tuesday.
The Andersen action, which had
previously been promised in view Of
the failure Of the American Farm
Bureau federation and the National
Grange to agree on . farm relief
bill, precipitated q lively inter-
change among committee members.
They were unanimous for an early
close of :.earings, but the consensus
Of opinion was that several wit
nesses who had been promised =
hearing should be given the oppor-
tiunity to testify.
Earlier, the Grange Exchange
committee, representing chambers

had gone on record in 4 letter
