COURT CONSIDERS
FALL SUSPENSION
Justice Bailey Takes Matter
Under Amusement After
U. S. Opposes Freedom.

BY the Associated Press.
Justice Bailey, in the District Ct Co
lumbia Supreme Court, took under ad-
visement today the Governments re-
quest that Albert B. Fall be immedi-
ately ordered to Jail.
Justice Bailey also had before him a
motion by Frank Hogan, Falls attor-
ney, that the prison sentence be sus-
pended because OF Falls physical cen
dition.
Atlee Pomerene, special prosecutor in
the case, read a memorandum from AS
sistant Attorney General Youngquist
which expressed the opinion that Fall
could be committed to some ether Jail
than the one in the District Of Co
lumbia.
Asks for Authorities.
Hogan replied that it seemed man.
datory that Fall be brought here TO
ed.
Justice Bailey asked counsel to cite
him authorities on whether he had the
power to amend the sentence to send
Fall to another Jail, and whether he
had the power to suspend the sentence
without Falls presence.
District Attorney Rover asked Hogan
II he would consent to have the SEN
tence amended and Falls counsel re-
piled that he would have to consult
his client.
Hogan presented the report of Army
physicians at William Beaumont Hos
Ditai in Fl PaSO ON Falls physical con-
dition and accompanied 1t by afhdavits
of other physicians which said that on
the basis of the report 1t would be
dangerous for Fall to be brought here
to serve the year in Jail. Fall. among
other things, is suffering from chronic
tuberculosis, but the disease Is now
latent.

Hogan said there was a strong posi-

BAN BY MUSSOL|N|
PER|LS CONCORDAT
FaScistS Forbidden as Men,
berS of Catholic Action
Organizations.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, July 9.-Premier Mussolini
himself today placed a ban on Fascist
membership In the Catholic Action or
CARNATIONS, thereby raising the question
of virtual abrogation of the concordat
with the Vatican.
As the "Duce" or chief of the Fascist
party he prohibited any of his follow
ers from belonging to the several
societies comprised in Catholic Action,
branches Of which were dissolved by
the government May 80.
The Vatican is now faced with the
problem of whether the Fascist party
action, Is equivalent to a government
action, and II so, whether the ban on
membership constitutes revocation of
authority for such bodies to exist, which
Is an essential part of the concordat.
Further, the Pope has always MAIN
tanned that the concordat and Lateran
treaty must stand or fall together, and
If the concordat lapses then the Lateran
treaty must lapse.
Transmission Of Order.
The premiers order was transmitted
by Giovanni Giuriati, secretary of the
Fascist perty. as follows:
Under the orders of his excellency.
the chief Of government and the Duce
Of Fascismo, it is herein declared that
there is incompatibility between mem
bership in the Fascist party and men,
bership lin any organization depending
upon Catholic Action"
This order was sent today to all fed
eral secretaries Of the party for i'm
mediate execution.
The government attack on Catholic
Action organizations of May 80, when
$4,000 clubs were closed, We limited
to the youth and university clubs. This
was done indirectly by dissolving all
youth organizations which were not af-
filiated with the Fascist party.
Today's action, although technically
by the Fascist party, is a direct action
by Premier MusSolini, who Is head of
both the government end the party and
whose attitude toward the church or
ganizations is thus made clear.
The organizations placed under the
party ban number about 10000 and
have an adult membership.
Abrogation Is Urged.
II Messaggero, regarded as Rome S
most conservative newspaper. asserted
today that the only solution to the diff
culties between the Vatican and the
italian government Is abrogation of the
latern concordat.
Dissolution" said the editorial, sis
necessary for the dignity of the nation
and the sincerity Of Fascism, which
does not submit to anyone under any
pressure nor any threat"
Whatever the consequences Of abro-
CATION might be, 1t asserts, Fascism is
able to face them before italy and the
world, and also has the right to deny
responsibility for the conflict with the
church.
In government circles it was said the
editorial was correct representation of
the feeling Of the italian people.
