Italy Defied Demand Of Vatican About
 The Catholic Clubs

youth branches of Azione Cattolica, which the government had closed. and seditious'' dealings of Azione Cattolica in the extra-territorial palaces held by the Vatican outside Vatican City, under the Lateran ac- cord.
 It protested also the Pope's "un- just" appeals to world sympathy, and concluded by insisting that the real problem centers on article 43 of the concordat between Italy and the Vatican, on which Italy ex- pressed willingness to open negotia- tions.
 Under article 43. Italy recognizes Azione Cattahca as a purely reli- gious organization and the Vatican undertakes to keep it out of politics. It was inserted in the concordat to guard against the formation of a Catholic political party, which Mus solini will not permit.

Denmark Flyers Are Somewhere Out Over
 The Great Atlantic
Otto liilg and Eolgar ois Are Believed to Be Driving

they climbed into the plane and numbered up the gravelled runway. There was a moderate westerly wind and slight haze, through which the sun was breaking. The plane gathered speed, but failed to rise until almost the end of the 3,000-foot runway had been covered. Just as 1t seemed that the start would be a failure, the ship took to the air, rising so slightly that 1t was feared she might not clear the bush tops ahead. Her load had severely taxed her lifting ca- pacity.
 The ship lodged over the hedges however, and gained about 500 feet in altitude, then turned to the right an hour, slowly gaining height until 1,0OO-foot altitude had been reached.
 As the Liberty passed out of sight in the gray haze, it was believed she was maintaining the 1000-foot level.
 Hillig said, before the departure, that if they are able to maintain their maximum speed-which he felt would be easy under present flying conditions-they should reach their destination, Copenhagen, Dem mark, in 22 hours. Favorable weather reports were received be- fore their departure.
 Both flyers expressed confidence before they left that if they could have waited two or three hours, they would have received word of Post and Gatty's successful landing in Europe. Both praised the Post Gatty plane.
 "They have one of the best equipped planes ever to attempt a transatlantic crossing" Hillig said.
 ''Furthermore," Hillig added, i've deeply sympathize with Miss Nichols, and we trust she will be able to overcome her difficulties and join us over there."

 The Liberty carries no wireless, And It's only contact with the world will be through the chance sighting of the plane by ships.
 The Danish flyers start from the Harbor Grace airport at a. m. time, (4:30 a. m. F. D. T.) was spectacular and breath taking, although the aviators were as casual about their departure as though they were going on few hours voyage.
 Hoiriss inspected the ground in front of the heavily loaded plane, and informed the field manager that the runway was in excellent condi- ton. There were few handshakes, and a few words from the aviators in appreciation of the courtesy of the Harbor Grace officials. Then

 This was the argument advanced by Louis Titus, R. c. A. counsel, in hearings held by the radio commis- sion last week to give the commis- sion a background upon which to base its decision.
 Commissioners Lafount and Star buck concurred in the majority opinion with joint statement hold ing that the radio act differentiated between a monopoly of radio ap- paratus and monopoly of radio communications. They maintained Section 13 applied only to a com munications monopoly and that the Delaware decision had to do only with apparatus.
