with the Soviet government.

from Pope Plus XXI on the religious per-

daily and daily becoming more grevious
against God and the souls of the great
Russian population 1t further called
upon not only the Roman Catholic
clergy but the whole of the Christian
world to join in duplication and prayer

The response Of most Christian de-
nominations was prompt, and the New

bury and York in England, snd Bishop
Manning in New York, had issued a
call for protest prayer meeting to be
held on March 16, and that other

protest the actions of the Soviet and

The constitutionality Of the act was

DRY INQUIRY LULL
GIVES GROUP REST
Members of Committee Wei
come Week End Inactivity
After Busy Period.

A week end lull in the dry law tur-
mol, stirred up by anti-prohibition
forces, afforded the House judiciary
committee welcome breathing spell
today as lines were being drawn for q
last stand by the vets when the hear
ing Is resumed next Tuesday.
Decision to give the prohibition an
tagonists another day before opening
the gates to the drys was reached yes
terday afternoon when Chairman Ora
ham learned that q number of impor-
tant ANTS" remain to be heard. The
pros" probably will begin their de-
tense some time Wednesday.
A return to the States of authority
to regulate manufacture and sale OF
liquor was advocated repeatedly by wit
nesSes before the committee.
The Rev. John Malick, pastor of
the First Unitarian Congregations
Church at Cincinnati, who was heard
late In the day, declared the only way
to enforce prohibition was to turn re-
sponsibility over ito a fanatical group
who believe in it." adding, then you
would have a state Of terror" worse
than pre-prohibition conditions.
Other Late witnesses.
Other late witnesses included Ray
mond Pitcairn, q Philadelphia manufac-
turer; Alexander Lincoln of Boston,
Robert M. Harris, New York broker
Fabian Franklin, a New York author
Henry Alan Johnston, representing the
voluntary committee of lawyers of New
York. and Cole E. Morgan, a reporter
for the Hearst newspapers.
All asSailed the dry laws as bringing
about lawless condition in the coun-
try and destroying principle of Amer
lean government.
In an exchange with Representative
Moore. Republican, Ohio, Rev. Mr.. Ma
lick said that the public schools in
Ohio had not been teaching scientific
temperance" but scientific prohibi-
tion.'
Representative LaGuardia, Repub-
lican, wet, New York, remarked that
whatever they taught in the schools,
the people are drinking"
Would Forget Law.
Pitcairn said the people more and
more we're ignoring the eighteenth
amendment, and suggested that I'VE
forget it, In order to devote the Ma
tons time and money to curbing real
crime"
One of the high lights of the session
came when Pierre S. Du Pont, chair
man of the board of the E. I. Du Pont
de Nemours Co., of Wilmington, Del,
said he had concluded after flve-year
study that prohibition was q failure
and advocated establishment of State
control through commissions of Anti
Saloon League members, ministers and
"our best citizens"
Representative Christopherson, Re-
publican, South Dakota, introduced in
the House yesterday two bills to carry
out in q modified form the recommen-
dations of the National Law Enforce
ment Commission to strengthen dry
law enforcement. One would amend
the United States criminal code to de-
fine petty offenses of all categories. in
stead of singing out prohibition. The
other would provide for summary trials
of petty offenders, without subjecting
them to double jeopardy.
