 All Religion In Communist State

in various parts Of Russia was pub lished today, side by side with Yaro- slavsky's attack on the papacy.
 The use of violence and persect- ton as a method of combating re- ligion was denied by Peter Smido- vich, vice president of the Sovi2t Union and head of the church colil- mittee of the central executive co..l- mittee.
 Smidovich, who is in the final aG- thority in matters concerning the church, discussed the situation win the United Press correspondent in the frankest manner.
 He admitted at the outset that 'hotheads in local instances have exceeded legal bounds and employed violence against believers"
 But here in Moscow" he said, "are leaders who believe that for2e would hinder rather than help the suppression of religion.
 We always curb exccsses and punish the hotheads. In this very room I listen to complaints and am always ready to correct mistakes

RHODE ISLAND WILL
 VOTE ON DRY LAWS
Smallest State to Test Views Of It's Citizens By Prohibition
 Referendum

Providence, F. l., March l (UP) Voters of the nations smallest state were virtually assured today of an opportunity to express their sentiments on the prohibition ques- ton in a referendum at the Mo- yember elections.
 The state senate, by a vote of A to II, has passed the republican ad- ministration measure providing that the following question be submitted to the people: "The 18th amend ment to the constitution. Shall 1t be retained?'
 Before a referendum becomes a certainty the bill must be approved by the house of representatives, but since wet sentiment in that body IS stronger than in the upper branch, passage of the measure is believed assured.
 It was generally predicted today that if the question were submitted to the electorate vote against re- tention of the Sth amendment would result, as Rhode Island. which never has ratified the amend ment, is listed among the wet states.

Miami SIeuths Raid Gambling
 Den, Arrest 20 Players

Miami. Fla, March 1 (UP)-There was something reminiscent of the days of Rothstein" in New York, in Miami's latest move against gam bling.
 The move took the form of an early morning raid on a suite on the top floor of a Miami Beach hotel. Ten deputy sheriffs. acting on in formation that gamblers were plan ming a festival after the Scott-Shar- key fight, broke in on the gamblers and found them arrayed around tables where the scene gave some confirmation to the stories told in the Rothstein case of $50,000 chang ing hands on the flip of a card.
 Thousands Against Pennies
 The officers found $73.575.05 on the table. Just as in the famous card party alleged to have had a part in the death of Rothstein, one man had the bulk of the money. Deputy sher- ifs said when they counted his roll they found sG0,o9o in it.
 llt otlltI S--tHtlt NII t | J blftS tl . in all--dividcd the remaining slS,000 equally among them. having rolls ranging from five thousand dollars down to one haplcss soul who had but 12 cents,
 One Revolver Tound
 The deputies had been warned that the gamblers were armed. Only one of the men had a revolver. He was said to have been Charles Lucania, a New York gambler. Lucania also was said to have been banking the game.
 The men arrested. all charged with vagrancy and gambling, gave their names as Harry Weider, Harry Ro- sen, and Charles Lucania of New York, and the following who gave Miami Beach addresses, and their names as Charles Harris, John Car navale. Lon Shepperd, James Mur- ray, Philip Mayo, Michael George, Joe Masseria. James Lynch, John- nie Spiro, Paddy Francis, Joseph Ross, Harry Brown, Walter Hausen, William Core.
 The move was the first since an armistice was declared in Miami's gambling war 10 days ago.

Atheists Resent Attack

Moscow, March 1 UP)-The world wide Crusade" against Rus sia, "Godlessncss" brought it's first biting return fire today from "The Goddess itself-widcly circulated propagandist magazine Of Soviet atheists.
 Page after page of the publication was devoted to a ferocious attack upon the papacy, under the sigma lure of Emilian Yaroslasky, head Of the society of the Goddess and gen. eralissimo of Russia's anti-reliGious forces.
 Lurid historical accounts of the terrors of the inquisition, alleged political intrgues, and the 'mis- deeds,' of medieval heads of the Catholic church were included ;n Yaroslavskys broadsidc against re- ligion.
 The papacy, Yaroslavsky declared, represented "a shameful page l0 history" and was responsible tor centuries of crimes against human- lty.
 It was significant. however, that the leader of the "Godless" urged his followers to avoid coercion and limit themselves to agitation ad'l propaganda"
 The magazine declares that it is a mistaken policy to place so muGn emphasis on the closing of churches and their removal of bells and re,i- sious emblcms, and argues tn tt education should be the re Il force behind the movement
 This declaration is wholly in line with the assertion Of government leaders that the Soviet is doing is utmost to curb the hothcads who are violating the law in the fight against religion
 Nevertheless, a list of 5S churches and two synagogucs recently closed
