VATICAN RES|S7S
SOVIET PRESSURE
Church. Demands Restoration
of Rights by Russia,
Says Walsh.

THE attitude of the Holy See toward
the present Soviet government has not
changed in any respect and cannot be
expected to change until the funda-
mental and inalienable rights CT Catho-
lies in Russia are respected by the So
Wet Union" DR.. Edmund A. Walsh
S. j., vice president of Georgetown Uni
versity and former director general OF
the Papal Relief Mission to Russia, de-
clared today.
DR.. Walsh's statement was inspired
by reports that the Vatican is on the
point of entering into relations with
Soviet Russia. He directed attention
to a denial made by the Holy See to re-
flute report that Mgr. Eugene Pacelli
apostolic nuncio at Berlin. had been ua-
thorized by the papal secretary Of state
to negotiate a renewal of relations with
the Soviet.
Far from showing any tendency to
mitigate its persecution Of religion" DR.
Walsh said, tho Moscow government
during the past IL months, has reassert-
ed its hostile intent by new discrimi-
natory legislation, by enlarging the &C.
tivities Of its anti-religiouS department
by arbitrary Imprisonment. of Catholic
dignitaries, such as Bishop Sloskan
and by generally renewed assault en- al
| churches.
Vatican authorities are in possession
of full and specific information covering
these and similar positive evidences oil
undated hostility to everything that
Christianity has stood for throughout
! l9 centuries. No chancery in Europe
| or America Is better informed or more
| reliably documented
In common, therefore, with the
United States the Holy See has declined
every offer, direct and indirect, of the
| Soviet government to enter into ne.
! gotiations until elementary justice /.
established in Russia and the sanctity
OF individual rights as we'll as the in
volatility of international law is guar
anteed.
THE Catholic Church seeks neither
privilege nor preferred status in Russia
but only common justice and the free
dom now recognized and accorded heI
by all other civilized nations as indis-
pensable for her spiritual mission.
More she does not ask less she can
not accept" the statement concluded
DR.. Walsh Is In a position to speaI'
authoritatively on such matters affect
ing the Vatican. He returned from
Rome few weeks ago after a series
of conferences with Pope Plus in con-
nection with the recent settlement of
the controversy between the Catholic
Church and the government of Mexico,
In which he was an active participant
In all matters affecting Russia and the
Church DR.. Walsh has taken q leading

Methodist Episcopal Church South, ap-
pealed yesterday to industrial leaders
of the South to take the initiative and
hold conferences with their employees
upon all matters of difference between
them
The bishop chairman of the board
of Temperance and Social Service, In
statement discussing the proposed
Senate investigation of the textile in
dustry, said that though the board had
taken no action it was his opinion that
If such an investigation is made 1t
should not be confined to the South
but should take in the entire textile
industry"
A similar appeal was recalled by the
bishop as having been issued early In
1927 by Al Southern ministers and
educators in their individual capacity

long hours of labor, including night
work, especially for women and chill
dren, and the employment of children
who had not completed even minimum

South offers today the best method TO

industrial difficulties"
| Let employers take the initiative ant
hold conferences with their employe
upon these matters of difference. Cal

items such as a maximum 54-hou
p, week, no employment of women an
children at night work. no night wor
between IL and or midnight and

IN FAVOR OF MACHINERY
Maneuvers and Sham Battle Held

STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUNDS.
Md, october 10.-The next war will
be fought from gasoline filling station
to filling station and the army with the
best and most numerous mechanics
probably will win. This was indicated
today when the Army brought forth its
newest lighting equipment in connec-
ton with the eleventh annual meeting
Of the Army Ordnance Association.
The demonstration included maneu-
vers and sham battle, in which mo-
tor-driven equipment was predominant.
The lowly Army mule has given way
to fast crosS-country cargo carriers.
which cross bitches and push down
fences without hesitation.
Horse Is Given Up.
The officer who formerly sighed for
spirited war horse now must content
himself with rumbling, smoking cross
country car, which can cross the rough
est field at high speed. Even the field
artillery has given up the horse. Guns
now are mounted directly on tractors
and move into action under their own
power. Tanks of all sizes form the
waves of attacks, and the infantry rides
in cross-country transport trucks.
The cavalry patrol which formerly
preceded the Army on the march can
airplanes. All the new types of auto
motive equipment artillery, small arms,
ammunition and aero bombs were DEM
onstrated under war conditions at the
Army's large proving ground.
Many Distinguished Guests.
When the program began shortly after
10 O'Clock, more than 5000 of the coun-
try's leading manufacturers, who in time
of emergency will manufacture NUM-
tons for National defense, were present
There were many distinguished guests,
including members of the cabinet, mem
bers of Congress, ranking officers Of the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps, and
foreign military attaches.
The demonstration was held under
cloudless skies, with troops from sta
tions up and down the Atlantic Coast,
and with Army airplanes from Virginia,
| New York and Michigan participating.

PROSECUTOR RETICENT
ABOUT ACTION FACTS

house Before Auto Accident,
Where Alteration Occurred.
By a stan Correspondent of The Star.

By STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, October
10.-Following the passage of an order
by the Prince Georges County Commits
sioners Tuesday directing Constable A..
c. Thompson to present the facts he
had learned in regard to the death of
Thomas Franklin Burroughs to the
sheriff, States attorney and grand jury,
the constable yesterday appeared be-
fore the latter body and told his story.
His action was taken after complying
with the first part of the commission
er's instructions, and upon advice of
States Attorney j. Frank Parran.
Prosecutor Reticent.
The Government prosecutor was I'M
willing to disclose whether other wit
nesses would be summoned or to dis
cuSs the case in any way, taking the
attitude that it was still q matter of
grand jury secrecy.
Thompson has interested himself in
the case ever since he claims to have
gotten an accidental tip that Bur-
roughs was the victim of foul play
at a roadhouse. It was known that
the man was in an automobile which
Skidded and struck tree at HenSen
Branch, near Silver Hill, on September
II, and taken to Emergency Hospital
where he died four days later OF pneu-
monia.
The family of the dead man have
expressed the opinion his injuries could
not have been caused by the automobile
accident and appealed to both county
and District of Columbia authorities
for an investigation.
Visited ROadhouse.
It was learned that Burroughs had
been visiting a roadhouse just prior to
being taken to the hospital and that a
fight occurred there in which one of
his companions was injured. All per-
sons questioned by the authorities have
denied Burroughs participated in the
alteration, however.
Although the roadhouse has never
been mentioned by name in the numer-
Gus press reports of the case, it was
learned yesterday that the establish
ment had been closed for about week
and the furniture removed.
At the same time news Of fight in
another Prince Georges County road
house, q few miles away, came to light
when washington woman complained
to justice of peace that she had been
injured. The woman made an appoint
ment to obtain a warrant for her as
sailants, but failed to keep It.
