POPE LAYS WORLD
DISTRESS TO ARMS
DenounCeS "Frenzied Race"
in Plea for Stricken
Peoples of Earth.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY, October 3-pope
Plus XI, IN an apostolic letter TO the
priests Of the world today cited the
"frenzied race of ornaments" as the
primary cause of the worlds distress,
and advocated Crusade of charity
and succor" for the worlds I'M
employed. The financial crisis. he
writes, is the new plague which
menaces humanity"
Priests of the church everywhere
must give all they can to relieve those
in need, the Pontif writes. and If
they need more they must get it from
their superiors''
Chooses PrOpitiOus Day.
He wrote his letter yesterday,
choosing that time because It was the
feast day of the guardian angels.
The stricken people of the world, he
says, ask only the privilege OF earning
their bread, but many of them are I'M
able to do so lin these days of hatred
and of implacable war"
He attributes the worlds misery tn
rivalry Of the peoples" and to "enor-
nous expenditures from the public
wealth" The race for superiority in
ornaments he characterizes as one OF
traordinary crisis"
There are three contributing agencies
TO relief, he asserts-''prayer, preaching
and the preSS"-all of which may
spread the gospel Of a crusade TO aid
the innocent.
Plague Grows Worse.
And now" the letter says, Winter
comes with its Sufferings and privations
to the poor and the tender infants
Every day the plague of unemployment.
already grave, will become worse and
worse"
The Pontin views the situation with
"trepidation" and appeals to AL those
with faith and Christian love" TO join
the crusade he proposes.
Aid given at this time, he writes, will
help the soul as well as the body and
will "extinguish the flames OF destruc-
ton and evil thought which often drive
the poor TO sin and hate"

Double Play Saves Cards.

by Frankie Frisch and Charley Gel

Williams at second and Charley got
the ball to Bottomley at first before
heavy-footed George could reach there.
George Watkins spectacular catch of
Micky Cochrane's smash almost to the
pavilion wall in deep right center in
the sixth saved more trouble. Mule
Haas was on first at the time.
The one-man scoring raids of young

second Pepper doubled, stole third and

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
William Green, president of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor, believes an
increase of so cents In the weekly ware
Of all workers would do more to start
US toward prosperity than wage cuts or
price cuts"
Writing in the American Federation
list. published today, he argued wage
slashes do not reduce selling prices in
full proportion" and do little to help
the manufacturer reduce costs or to
furnish employment for more workers"
Many Ways TO Save.
Comparatively few plants will close
down because OF high wage rates." he
said. Even though labor rates may
be high, there are many ways that the
labor costs per unit may be reduced.
Emcient arrangements are deviSing all
manner of economies In production,
buying and sales.
Nor will price cuts justify wage re-
ductions. Relatively, the wage-earner
VIII lose more In purchasing than he
gains by lower prices"
The essential thing. he added, is to
establish confidence, which starts buy
ing.
The least that any responsible execu-
tive can do to restore confidence" he
said, lis to assure jobs to his minimum
work force during the Winter.
I'VE urge that money and credit be
put into circulation"
Referring to the plan Of Gerard
Swope, president Of the General Elec-
trio Co., which includes coordination
Of production and consumption under
Federal supervision, Green said:
The fact that Mr.. Swope has sub
mitted q plan emphasizes the necessity
OF the Presidents calling an industrial
conference"

which he ever displayed"
The United States will mourn his
loss as deeply as any of us here" he
said. Throughout his yachting career
he did much to cement the cordial re-
lations between that great Republic and
the British people. I hope his passing
will touch hearts on both sides of the
Atlantic and knit still further the golden
bands of friendship
Cardinal McRory referred to him as
"a great sportsman and a fine, lovable
type of IriShman." Clones, his an
cestral town on the Ulster border, to
which he had promised park when he
brought home the America Cup, espe-
cially was stricken with grief.
His loss was felt also in the little
town of Bangor, headquarters of the
Royal Ulster Yacht Club where he was
known personally by almost every adult
and was the idol of every schoolboy. He
was recalled as a genial, kindly man
who had made their yacht club famous
around the world
In accordance with his wishes, Sir

urative judges stand yesterday and

Club, which proposed to construct an
artificial island in BiScayne Bay, Fla
as site for an elaborate race
course. The department thereby averted
what promised to be a merry little turf

at their command.
The action was taken through revo-
cation CT a permit, granted last July,
for construction Of the island, Acting
Secretary Payne conforming to the rec
concentrations Of Maj. Gen. Lyle
Brown. chief Of Army Engineers, on the
ground that the island would constitute
an unreasonable obstruction to naviga-

As soon as Smoot and his associates
had received the sanction of the War
Department multi-millionaire residents
of Miami Beach, including such fig-
ures as John j. Raskob, James M.
Cox, Edsel Ford, Harvey Firestone and
many others. protested because it would
have brought racing virtually into their
front yard. The reform element also
joined in.
Other opposing groups fell in line
and the upShot was that the War De-

at Miami in September
Then it reversed its previous action
Consequently, whatever racing Is done
will be at Hialeah Park.

that the administration of civil and
criminal justice in our country is a dis
grace to civilization" he said. Faults
there are, which can and should be
cured. but after all, are We not too
much inclined to blame the system and
the law rather than the persons who
administer them?
I'VE have an example of that In mu-
nicipal government. We hear less now
than formerly about forms of municipal
government. but Is years ago we were
stirred by discussions over the bicameral
system. ward or proportionate repre-
sentation. commission governments and
city manager plans. as II We were to

Depends on Character Of Men.
"An efficient municipal government
depends more on the character of the
form. The rost cumbersome form can
be made to operate we'll by men of
character and ability. The most ideal
form will fail II the citizenry are con-
tent with public officials who are selfish,
inefficient or corrupt. The best or
ganization makes it easier for good men
to do we'll. but the controlling factor is
one of personnel, and that depends on
the disposition of the people OF the
community. A stream can rise no
higher than its source"
Research, statistics and compilation
of suggestive facts are necessary for
reforms, Mitchell stated, but the final
and most. difflcult task Is that Of the
man who sits down with all these facts,
figures and generalities and endeavors
to translate them into definitely
worded statute or ad illustrative order
which will do just what is needed and
dovetail in practical way into our
system"

task" he said, must be more than

DON JAIME, EX|LED
PRETENDER, DIES
Spanish Throne Claimant
SucCumbS to Heart At
tack in Paris.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
PARIS, october 3.-Don Jaime OF
Bourbon, last of the Carlist pretenders
to the throne of Spain, died in exile
last night after a heart attack. He was
81 and unmarried.
He was stricken while motoring to
Chantilly with two Of his associates and
was brought back to his nome in Paris.
A priest and a physician were sum-
moned and he passed away several
hours later
His death came only week after it
was announced that he and former
King Alfonso, his distant cousin, had
ended their lifelong rivalry and hence
forth would labor together for the sal
walton of Spain" AlfonSo's associates
emphasized that the reconciliation was
family affair and did not involve the
rights to the throne.
Don Jaime was the son of Don Car
los, grandson of the first CarliSt pe-
tender, and OF Princess Marguerite of
Parma. His claims to the throne dated
back to Ferdinand VII, who was sue
ceeded by his daughter Isabella. When
she abdicated in favor OF her son
Alfonso XII, the original Don Carlos
asserted his pretensions as brother of
Ferdinand.
Unlike his ancestors, Don Jaime made
no attempts to reclaim the throne by
force OF arms and never oficially set
foot in Spain, so far as was known.
From the safety of Paris he directed
number of manifestos at the Span
iSh people impugning the rights of the
:eigning house and urging his own quail
ificationS for the crown.
Alfonso was informed of his death
and was expected to attend the first
mass in his honor. 1t is probable that
he will be buried at FrofSboor, Austria,
near Vienna, home Of the Carlist pre-
tenders.
