On The Air To-day
Pope To Inaugurate
 New Vatican Station

Cabled advices from the Columbia representative in Rome to-day quoted Vatican authorities as em- phasizing that the papal broadcast is intended for all nations rather than for one and htat both vast American networks have been au- thoriZed to rebroadcast- the cere mony. He added the following de- scription of the proposed proceed ings:
 "The Pope will be escorted from the Vatican palace to the new sta tion's portal, which is decorated in colorful faience. The pontiff will be guided through the station by Sen- ator Guglielmo Marconi, builder of the station, and Father Gianfran- ceschi. noted Jesuit electro-physicist who is president of the papl acad- emy. Wather Gianfranceschi will explain to the pontiff the details of the powerful station and Pope Plus then will press a button starting the power.
 commentators, probably speak ing in several languages so that the greatest possible audience may have a clear picture of the scene, will de- pict the occurrences.
 "The pope and his retinue. then will pass in solemn procession to the papal academy building in the Vat ican gardens where the solemn in- auguration and observance of the anniversary of coronation will be held. Speeches will be made by Sen- ator Marconi, Father Gianfransechi and finally by the pontiff, who may also say few words at the opening of the station itself.
 The ceremony probably will end with benediction pronounced in Latin by Pope Pius-the first papaI benediction to be heard by the faithful throughout the world".
 Columbia engineers said that the tests, with station HVJ operating on a frequency of 15,120 kilocycles and with a transmitter rated at power of 10 kilowatts had been thoroughly satisfactory. Reception in both the east and middle-west arranged so that no local disturbances could mar the trials, was entirely suitable for rebroadcasting and indicated that the voice of the Pontiff should be heard clearly.
 Nevertheless, to make a success full rebroadcast even more likely, ad- ditional pickup points have been as- signed to make further tests in the bays remaining before February 12. From these tests will be selected the actual facilities for the event.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-02-05

The Columbia Broadcasting sys- tenn announced this week comple- ton of arrangements to broadcast on its network throughout the United StataD and Canada an address by Pope Plus XI inaugurating the new powerful Vatican radio station on Thursday, February 12, the ninth anniversary of his coronation.
 Never before heard over the radio, the pontiff will talk to the entire Christian world. The ceremonies in which he will figure will be broad cast at about 4 p. m. Gtalian time), 10 .. m. EST.
 Tests of the new station, HVJ, have indicated it's efficacy in reach ing America and Australia as we'll as Europe. Short waves emanating from the great new transmitter have brought voices and signals clearly to American listeners in points as distant as Connecticut, New York and Nebraska. Awaiting further trials, the Columbia engineering de- partment has not yet decided defi- nitely upon the facilities for re- broadcasting. Several alternatives have been presented, all of them, in tests thus far conducted, providing excellent audibility.
 The short wave signals are sent out from two towers surmounted by Christian crosses, standing on the highest hill in Vatican city.

 Much of the pleasure of witnes- sing . motion picture of this type" say Halliwsll, Ties in the inability of the audience to fathom the mys- tsry, and their consequent interest in trying to arrive at solution. This able success as a mystery story. and its ending furnishes a most startling surprise.

Wonder Picture. 1.-The Criminal Code" with Walter Huston and
 Phillip Holmes at State Saturday

Code" with Walter Huston and
 Philip Holmes at State Saturday
 The Warner Bros State theater will show for four days beginning Saturday an alltalking Columbia picture which is regarded as the prize screen capture of the season. This gripping romance, "The Grim inal Code" ills from Martin Flavin's smash Broadway hit which won the Theater Club Trophy as the best play of the year.
 Audiences at all preview shoWlngs have been unanimous in declaring that the screen version more than takes advantage of the dramatic nossibilities of the sensational play. The story is a particularly timely one and one that startled even the blase New Workers.
 Every day newspaper headlines announce that the crime situation IS becoming more and more menaclng that in certain large cities it is actually beginning to destroy the fabric of organized society. Crime commissions are meeting and prob ing for a solution of this acute prob lem. An aroused citizenry is de- manding facts-and more facts. "The Criminal Code" runs the gamut of crime facts. It starts with the commission of supposed crime. portrays the psychology of district attorneys, of convicts, and shows ac- tual penitentiary conditions.
 Walter Huston, the star of such we'll known motion picture successes as "The Virginian" and Abraham Lincoln" plays the leading role in '"The Criminal Code" His perform ance has been hailed by critics as sensational. Philip Holmes is said to give a fine portrayal of a sensi- tive youth reacting to prison condi- tions. Constance Cummings, who plays the feminine lead, makes her first appearance in motion pictures and is acclaimed a distinct find" Many other prominent artists make up an excellent supporting cast.

DIR. RYAN PROTESTS
. HANGING OF DUKER
Says Maryland Officials
Should Use Alternative in
Murder Conviction.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, November 14.-The
hanging of Herman Duker, convicted
murderer. would constitute severe re-
as the humanity, Of the public author
tiles of Maryland" according to
signed article by Rev. DR.. John A. Ryan
of Catholic University, Washington
which appeared in yesterdays issue Of
the Baltimore Catholic Review.
Last week Vincent De P. Fitzpatrick,
managing editor of the Review, request
ed Ryan TO comment on Judge Joseph
N. Ulman's decision in the Duker case.
Duker confessed killing John w. An
derson, rnilkn1an, and was sentenced to
hang.
1T Is probably unique in American
judicial history" said Dr. Ryan. 1.-THE
written opinion of Judge Ulman is COM
prehensive, clear, Instructive and dis
eliminating. It Is my opinion, how
ever, that Judge Ulman had q moral
responsibility to inflict the lighter PEN
atty of Imprisonment.
IF there were no workable alternate,
II no means could be contrived to pre-
vent Duker from killing or manning
persons in the penitentiary, the state
would be justified in putting him to
death as a means of morally lawful de-
Tense
1T does not seem to be absolutely
certain that there was no workable al
tentative which the court could con-
scientiously adopt. I believe the officers
of the Maryland Penitentiary can find
method of so restricting the prisoner
as to render him harmless"
Ryan rejects the assumption by law
that the will and intellect in O dis
eased mind cooperate and harmonic
as perfectly as in a mind that is sane"
He does not believe the definition of
insanity as legalized in Maryland Is
scientific and humane. Though Ryan
disagrees with Ulman's decision that
there is no alternative save hanging in
the Duker case, he states the judges
written opinion is "a product of which
he has no reason to be ashamed"
