PLUCKY YANK
TRAPS CLEVER
FRENCH CROOKS
Theft of Car in Paris Leads
to Breaking Up of ShreWd
International Band.

BIZ United Press
PARIS, June 6.-How an Amer
lean with a goodly share Of pluck,
luck and courage managed single
handed to trap one Of the most
dangerous bands of international
crooks was revealed here today by an
official of the Paris police bureau.
The American in question was
Francis Z. Willis, native Of Cresson,
Pa, who is engaged in a business
here.
The band Of crooks involved is be
lieved to have stolen more than 5000
automobiles in France alone during
the past year.
The syndicate Of thieves was the
most clever the French police had
come in contact with in some time,
shrewd, elusive, methodical.
Make Their First Mistake
Their first mistake, it seems, was
when they decided to steal Willis
automobile from in front of his own
door.
For the following night, while in a.
restaurant, Willis heard two men at
an adjoining table tell a third man
in German of the theft Of car.
One of them said he had been able
to hide the car in question in a
garage at Chateau Thierry and that
thew would pick it up the next after
noon and drive to Belgium, where
they had a ready customer for 1t.
Willis feigned sleep and listened
in on the conversation. He suspected
that the car they had mentioned
was his own and this suspicion was
confirmed when one of the trio Of
thieves took an identity plaque from
his pocket. bearing the name and
address of Willis.
Rounding Up Band
Willis went to the police. Then
he rounded up several friends and
went to Chateau Thierry.
The following afternoon when the
three bandits and several of their
accomplices called at the garage to
get the car Willis and his friends
lined them up against the wall and
held them there until the police
arrived.
Traces of the band then we're
found all over France. More traces
of them were found in Germany and
Czecho- SIovakia. They gradually
are being rounded Up.

MUssolini and Plus XII in
Dispute Over Control of

ROME, June 6-Despite open
disagreement between Pope Plus xI
and the fascist government on
rights Of the church and the state
to supervise education Of Italy's
younger generations, formal ex-
chaige Of notifications Of the 1ateran
treaty will not be delayed.
Premier Mussolini and Cardinal
Gasparri, papaI secretary Of state,
viii exchange the ratified pacts
Friday.
The pope's open letter TO Cardi-
nal Gasparri showed that the
church and the fascist government.
though agreed as to the terms Of
the treaty, are at considerable di-
vergence as to their application and
Interpretation.
Pope Plus letter characterized

on MAY y and May 25 as a painful
setback lin the settlement Of the

He said he was disappointed with
the statements made by the Ital-
ian premier and branded them as
even worse than heretical," refer
ring to MussolinTs utterances about
the essence of Christianity and, es-
pecially, Catholicism.
Insult to Sacred City
The pontif was determined in
his statements that the church
alone had the right of supervising
the education of the youth of Italy.
NO harm can result from 1t" the
latter said. The state can not fear
anything. from education impaired
by the church or under its dlrec-
ton
1T is such education that has
prepared modern civilization in its
best and loftiest aspects.
Science and scientific researches
have much less than the state to
fear from ne further developments
of religious teachings"
Referring to MussOlinis specula-
ton as to its fate had the Catholic
church been founded in Jerusalem
instead of in Rome, the letter said:
Eve are painfully surprised at
the idea that certain insults TO SUCH
a. sacred city as Rome should be
tolerated in the name of freedom of
conscience or by misplaced compass
sion. What freedom OF conscience
was it that was spoken about that
would lead one on such path?"
No freedom of Conscience
The assertion that absolute free
dom Of conscience can be guaran-
teed. the pope said, could not be
admitted By the church because 1t
would be the equivalent to an ad-
mission that creature was not
subject to its creator.
TT would legitimize any forma-
ton. or rather, reformation, in
conscience. including the most
criminal" the letter said.
II it is meant that conscience
can not be controlled by the state
and that only the church is COM
petent in matters of conscience by
force of divine mandate, then it
implicitly is admitted that in a
Catholic state both freedom OF
conscience and discussion must be
understood and exercised in accord
ance with Catholic doctrine,
