Southerner's Attack on Catholic Church Severe ly Criticized - Minority Leader to Continue Mexican Forgery Probe.

Washington, Jan. is. R-ln overwhelming strength. the demo- cratic party in the senate rallied to- day behind its floor leader. Senator Robinson of Arkansas. whose cap- taincy had been challenged after he rebuked' Senator Heflin for Hehins repeated attacks on the Catholic church and Governor Smith.
 By formal resolution. adopted in party conference with but one dis senting vote, the democratic senators declared their confidence in their chief.
 Heain Not stlenced
 Heflin himself. who issued the challenge to Robinson's leadership yesterday in as bitter . passage at words as the senate has heard in many years. did not attend the con- ference. He said afterward that the resolution adopted was no rebuke to him, and that he had just begun" his senate speech making against the New York governor and his core ligionists.
 One Negative Votee
 The one negative vote was cast by Trammel of Florida, who said he did not regard yesterdays tilt be- tween Robinson and Heflin as . matt ter for party action. In all, . dozen of the forty-six democratic senators were absent from the conference. Three Of them. Blease of South Car oiina. Diii. .ea Washington and Nicely of Wost Virginia. sat nearby in the senate chambers, where proceedings were temporarily halted by the wholesale democratic absences.
 Confidence Is Voted
 The conference resolution did not mention Hefiin by name, but 1t did take direct issue with him on one feature of his attack on Robinson. Hefiin had demanded Robinson's re- moval from the Mexican slush fund committee, and the democratic con- ference voted It's confidence in the leaders work on that committee. The text of the resolution follows:

Report of Famous Church Conven- tion Believed Likely to Cause Either New Split or Rejection Of MOtlernized Prayer Book.

London, Jan. 19 H-Primacy of the pope was indicated to be the bar to unity of the Catholic and Angli- can churches in the long awaited re- port on the famous "Malines Con- versations" made public today. The report revealed action taken between 1921 and 1925 by Roman Catholic and Anglican delegates under the presidency of the late Cardinal Mer- cier.
 The publication of the text fol- lows closely upon the rejection by the house of commons of the revised book of common prayer and the re- cent encyclical of the pope on church union. Objectors to prayer book change said they were in direction of Rome. chiefly as concerning the sacrament. The pope said a union of Christians should only come by a return of the dissenting to the orig inal church of Rome.
 Fears were expressed that instead of bringing about any forms of peace, between the two factions of the Church of England, the publica-

 Detective Daley said today that nothing had occurred to change his first opinion that the girl committed suicide by drowning in the Connecti- cut river, which flows through this city. Since the girl vanished. he has had men patrolling the stream searching for her body.
