|PAULET FATHERS
 AT ST MARCARET'S
Three Weeks Mission By Fathers Conway and
 O'Brien
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS


 three weeks mission by the Pauiist fathers opened at St. Mar garet's church last night. The mis- sion is in charge of Father Conway, noted speaker and writer who is as- sisted by Father O'Brien. The nrst week of the mission is for the mar ried women of the parish, the second for the unmarried women, ana the third for the men.
 Evening services as announced yesterday are at 7:30 o'clock ana in- clude short instruction, recitation of the rosary, singing of Come Holy Ghost" a sermon, and benedlction of the Blessed Sacrament. Morning services during the week are at 5:3O and o'clock and include mass fol- lowed by an instruction.
 Father Conway gave the sermon last night, speaking on the duties or a mother, and her influence, good and bad, on her children. He spoke briefly of the beautiful devotion to the mother of God by prayer, men, tioning in particular the holy. prac- tice of reciting the rosary in the home, bringing home the fact that during the month of May especlaly devoted to Mary, that this was a highly commendable practice. In summing up the various influences in the lives of young people Father Conway stressed particularly the eX- ample set in the home, and criticii$d mothers who fail in this respect.
 The instruction this morning fol- lowing the 8 o'clock mass was also by Father Conway. He spoke on eX- animation of science preparatory to confession, discussing briefly the sins against the ten commandments. Father Conway last night and this morning told that one of the prin- cipal aims of the order of Paulists was by speech and writing to. spread the faith far and wide. But because spoken words are so often needed for a time only, that it is their aim to reach people through gool Catholic writings. For this reason the Paulist press prints vast amount or DOCKS of religious nature covering a va riety of subjects. from pamphlets to books of wide repute. This press not only supplies books on any sub feet to those who wish to buy them but also is sending constantly 1itera- ture of a religious nature to those who cannot afford to buy them.
 Father Conway's own look, "The Question Box" (new edition) has now reached a circulation of over 2,0OO.O 900, which gives it practically the largest circulation of any book written, the Bible excepted. 1t con- tains discussion of all manner of sub jects and answers any question that could be asked pertaining to Catholic religion and dogma. During the mis- sion this book by Father Conway as we'll as other books by him and by other noted Catholic writers may be purchased with other religious ar ticles in the basement of St. Mar garet's church. Father Conway is also in charge of circulating library club. which like book k-of-the-month clubs furnishes twelve books year at a stated price. Father Conwav's club furnishes books to those who join. a small sum making the sub- scribers members for year.

 HIS LAST TASK

Waco, Tex, May 11-UP)-Hope was renewed today in the heart of Dr Samuel Palmer Brooks that he would be able to finish his last self imposed task for his students at Baylor university before he dies, as physicians said he must within few days.
 Dr Brooks rallied slightly from a critical lapse and physicians said It was possible he might complete the signing of diplofas for the spring graduating class. The vieor and de- termination which marked his S0- year presidency of the Baptist insti- tuition brought Dr Brooks out of a coma yesterday which attendants be- lieved was the end. His death had been expected momentarily.

Brass and bronze, famed Water bury products, and not aluminium will be used in the window case ments and for ornamental purposes in the new post office building.
 On learning that the architects for the new federal building planned for this city had arranged to introduce considerable aluminium in their con- struction work, Congressman Edward w. Goss filed a protest and called at tention of the commission to the fact that Waterbury brides itself on it's production of brass and bronze. "The Brass Center of the Universe" would undoubtedly feel sighted if their products known throughout the country had to be relegated to the side-lines. for aluminium.
 The architects went into a huddle again and the answer forwarded to Waterbury to-day and Congressman Goss was to the effect that the super vising architect of the treasury de- partment had accepted the sugges-

R, {. A. LICENSES
ARE ORDERED
EXTENDED
Threat to BroadCaSting and
Communications Halted;
Sykes, SaItzman Dissent

Licenses of subsidiaries of the
Radio Corporation of America,
jeopardized by recent decision
of the United States Supreme
Court holding that company in
violation of the Clayton act, will
be renewed on their expiration,
the Federal Radio Commission
ruled today.
The commission held that viO-
lation of the antitrust laws by
the parent company did not force
the forfeiture of hSoadcasting,
communications, and expert
mental licenses by the subsidiary
companies under Section 13 of
the Federal radio act.
Chairman Charles NICK. Saltz-
man and Commissioner E. o.
Sykes dissented from the majority
of the commission.
Unless interveners in the case
have the Federal courts review
the commissions action, the mat
ter is closed and the various
RC.A. subsidiaries may continue
operation without interference.
The principal intervenerS in
the case were Oswald Schuette,
executive secretary, Radio PrOtec-
tive Association; radio station
VIGIL of the Chicago Federation
of Labor, and a Milwaukee broad
casting station, the latter two
being applicants for higher power.
Following the decision of the
Supreme Court the Radio Com
mission called a hearing at which
the legal phases of the case were
placed in the record.
The R. C. A. Subsidiaries, Inc,
Radio Marine Corporation of
America, and R. C. A.-Victor Co.
insisted that section 13, of the
radio law, was unconstitutional
because it provides for the con-
fiscation of property and business
without due process of law, and
that it did not apply in this case.
Counsel for the r. C. A. con-
tended the Supreme court decision
did not involve a criminal, but
civil, violation of the law.
The Radio Corporation made an
effort to prevent the Radio Com
mission hearing, but the District
of Columbia Court refused to halt
the proceeding.
