BUILDING IS
SUSPENDED BY
ORDER
Vatican Construction
Projects Are Held
Up By Head

ROME, June 6-R1-Suspension
OF church construction throughout
Italy was understood today to be
the Vatican's latest counter-move in
the controversy with Premier Mus
solini.
The expenditure OF MANY mil
lions In the erection OF nearly 1000
buildings in Vatican City and 9TH
CT districts was said 10 have ceased
on orders from Pope Plus. Con-
struction already under way will be
completed but possibly in abb
nreviated form.
This move was considered sig
nificant inasmuch as the building
OF new religious edifices is known
20 be close to the Pontiff's heart
He recently discussed his program
with Cardinal Mundelein OF Chi
cago, telling him that building was
n OF the best remedies for I'M
employment In the Catholic world.
On the other hand. the Vatican
has announced that the reorganiza-
ton Of Catholic youth clubs. the
closing OF which was the root OF

their locations were withheld. II
was learned that they were being
formed in strict adherence to
Fascist law and would be more
closely related 70 tn echurch than
the former groups.
A spirit Of optimism pervaded the
Vatican In regard 70 the solution
Of the conflict with the government
although no concrete developments
were known 20 have taken place.
The Pope spent all dav Sunday In
conference with hts departmental
heads and they n turn discussed
the s~tuation at length.
It vas believed possible that the
government might have answered
secretly the Papal notes OF pro-
test concerning the dissolution OF
the Catholic Action society and
attacks by Fascist adherents. Both
sides were represented as hoping
for a truces which would eventually
lead 10 a satisfactory settlement Of
the matters in dispute.

RELIEF FROM HEAT
ENJOYED BY CITY
Suffering Definitely Over for
Awhile, Weather Bureau
Reports.

With the heat wave definitely brok-
en- throughout the country, Washing
ton can look forward to some real
measure of relief, according to the
Weather Bureau.
Prospects for the holiday tomorrow
are fair weather with no extremely
high temperatures. There is a posi-
bility of showers tonight. The humidity
is likely to increase discomfort to some
extent, but this probably will be offset
by lower temperatures than during the
early part of the week.
The Middlewest suffered severely
during the heat wave just passing and
set up higher temperature readings
than were ever recorded in many
places, according to official reports
reaching Washington.
The toll Of deaths attributed to the
heat continues to grow, despite the
drop in temperatures.
Throughout Illinois there was gen.
eral relief, but that State continued
to lead with 86 deaths during the past
"a hours. Ohio was second with 80
deaths, and Indiana third with %.
The total deaths throughout the
United States yesterday, including
drownings and two killed in electrical
storms, was estimated at 218, bringing
the toll of the entire wave to 1921.
