PASTOR JEERED AS
!. HE ATTACKS Smith
Dr.. Diefenbach Raises Religious
Issue and Pays Penalty

Charlottesville. Va, Aug. II ~
Turmoil engulfed the University o.
Virginia's institute of public affair.
late yesterday when the presidential
eligibility of a Roman Catholic wa.
openly challenged from the speak
er's rostrum.
A distinguished audience of public
officials, political scientists and
newspaper editors greeted with q
storm Of boos, cat-calls and shouts
an assertion that Governor Smith as
a devout Catholic is "obedient to the
doctrine" OF church that "has new
err relented by syllable its resolute
claim to primacy over the state"
| The speaker was the Rev. Albert
c. Dieffenbach OF Boston. promi-
nent Unitarian clergyman and editor
Of the Christian Register. He de-
clared religion the paramount issue
of the presidential campaign and ac-
cused the press of attempting to OBJ
scure it in a Smoke SCREEN"
His remarks were Immediately
disputed by the publisher Of the
Richmond News Leader, John Stew
art Bryan.
II am going to vote for AL Smith"
he shouted, primarily to show that
this country is big enough not to be
dictated to by bigotry."
Others clamored for recognition
and Victor Rosewater of Philadel-
phia, the chairman, limited each to
few minutes. The discussion final
iy became so heated that he brought
the debate to a close.
Professor John H. Latane OF John
Hopkins university declared that If
Smith should be defeated in the
south it would mean the triumph
of Intolerance and hypocracy." Prof.
Thomas H. Reed of the University
OF Michigan said that II the Hoover
campaign should place any emphasis
upon the religious question he would
vote for Smith.
The hope that voters would not
be swayed from supporting Hoover
by an exaggerated spirit of tolerance
was expressed by Willis J. Abbot.
editor of the Christian Science Mon
itor, while Prof. A. H. Hatton Of
Northwestern university said It could
not be denied that the "ayowed dog
ma" Of the Catholic church aroused
suspicion and placed the American
Catholic in an unfortunate position.
Arising to his own defense. Mr..
Dieffenhach declared that his re-
marks were not prompted by any
fear OF the Roman Catholic church.

thinks AMUNDSEN
Still IS Living
Skipper Of the Krassin Holds
This Opinion

StavanEer. Norway. Aug. II Up
Commissar Oras OF the Soviet ice
breaker krassin believes Road
Amundsen and the Ave men who
flew from Tromsoe with him to aid
In the Mobile rescue work are alive
The krassin. which rescued seven Of
the crew OF the Italia is undergoing
repairs preparatory to continuing
search for Amundsen and the six
| men missing in the balloon part OF
| the airship.
| Oras said Captain Rene Guilbaud
and Lieut.. Lief Die richsen, two Of
Amundsen's compa Mons, were both
able pilots and no dangerous wealth
er prevailed when the plane started
for the Arctic on June IS.
I'VE believe that Amundsen would
have left to Major Maddalena the
task OF finding the Mobile party"
Oras said. while he would have
flown to Kings Bay only after
having achieved something positive,
such as finding the Italia's balloon
party"
Major Maddalena, Italian hier.
was engaged in the rescue work
operating from Kings Bay. and Sue
ceeded in finding the survivors led
by General Umberto Mobile and pro-
visioning them.
THE seaplane had sufficient fuel
to fly to the balloon party and then
to Kings Bay" Oras continued.
But 1t must be remembered that at
the start it had to fight headwind
which must have consumed a great
deal Of fuel. 1t Is possible therefore
that after having reached the bal
loon party they may have been
forced to land owing to lack of fuel.
We believe the seaplane's wireless
was damaged but In spite of this it
proceeded to the balloon party.
THE French admiral aboard the
cruiser Strasbourg shares our opin-
ion that the seaplane made direct
flight to the balloon party. Lieut..
(Soviet airman aboard
the Krassin)) did not say he believ-
ed the seaplane fell into the sea. He
believes there are several possibili-
ties. 1t may have fallen but also may
have landed near the balloon party
or elsewhere.

crew to procure food for several

Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-02-28

Sam G. Bailie, secretary of the Ari-
zona Automobile association, has sent
the Douglas chamber of commerce an
adequate supply of folders containing
a very large and well arranged map
of the state with all highways, trails
and roads. This map is the official
map and with it one could travel any,
where without fear of getting off the
course.
The map takes up one side Of the big
double folder, while on the other side
are descriptions of the principal towns
Of the southern part of the state. 1t
is noted that during the summer
months the literature of the A. A. A..
will be devoted to a greater extent to
the northern part of the state.
Douglas and many other Cochise
county towns are given fine little stor-
les in this folder explaining their at
fractions and the highways which lead
into them. Persons having real use
for the maps or wishing information
about the A. A. A. may call at the
chamber of Commerce offices on
Eleventh street next to The Dispatch.

PREPARE
FOR DEDICATION
OF NEW AIRPORT

c. w. MunSell, of the Munsell-B Brill
Flying service, says that one OF the
chief amusements of many who take
sight seeing trips in the planes at
the fairgrounds is taking pictures.
Many like to have a picture Of them
selves sitting in plane or standing
on a wing just ready to get into the
cabin, Munsell says.
On Sunday large number visited
the field out there was falling off
in the number Of passengers. A
reason for this probably is the ianguid
spring weather which causes nst-
.lessness and dulling OF ambition. The
service is preparing for the dedication
of the international airport. Munsell
and Brill have been boosters OF the
project and they intend to have their
ships all polished up for the grand
occasion which may be March 2,
when the governors meet, if arrange
mentS can be made.

MOTOR STAGES
FOLLOW ROUTE
OF OLD TIMERS

The Pickwick stages system. whose
big stages roar over highway 80 and
deposit travellers at their depot on G
avenue, have just announced an eXten-
sion of their lines which gives through
service to Kansas City. This puts
Douglas on stage route with connec-
ton with the Pacific coast and the
east
The route takes one to FL Paso,
Dallas, Ft. Worth and Kansas City.
There is a direct service from the
coast to Kansas City in addition to
that being the terminal for the line
running through Douglas. In connec-
ton with the opening OF the latest
service the Pickwick, represented by
Transportation Manager Thomas Nor
gan, have issued statement that
Pickwick has the honor Of being the
first nonstop stage service from the
coast east since the old horse drawn
Butterfield stages became thing OF
the past.
This recalls that the Butterfield
stages followed about the same route
across Arizona rs the Pickwicks big,
rearing buses do now. The Butterfleld
stages started operation back in 1853
and the history and tradition OF the
Arizona Of yesterday is filled WIN
stories of the stages. In those days
the journey from st. Louis to San
Francisco by stage took from % to 80
days according to the Pickwick state
ment.
