government, in which Premier Musso-

stand against the Catholic Action Clubs.
Pope Plus today told group OF pill
erins from padua that circumstances
"do not point toward return to nor
malcy."
The pontiff urged the visitors to
pray for betterment of "a painful stu
alton" in which he said the Pope and
Holy See were not treated as they
should be.
Affairs are not in order" the Pope
declared. "They are not normal and
we even feel compelled to say that
they do not point toward a return of
normalcy.
1--WE have little faith in men, If, in
deed. We can have any faith in man,
but we have complete, profound and

IN REPLY TO POPE
Dissolved Catholic Clubs Are
Anti-FaSciSt and Illegal,
Premier Insists.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, June 24.-Premier MuSsolini
took firm stand against the Catholic
Action clubs In ohe italian reply, deliv-
cred at the Vatican today, to the recent
note from the Holy See.
The premier insisted, it was learned
on excellent authority, that the dis
solved clubs were anti-FaScist and IL
legal. and he saw mo reason to renew
discussions on measures taken against
the juvenile association"
The church, it was explained, had
only itself 10 blame for violence melted
by alleged Catholic political activity.
The formal apology which the Pope
demanded and later modified somewhat
was met in the note with the statement
that q severe inquiry is proceeding re-
garding the insults to the Pope and
damage to church property and "in the
assurances of prosecution of the guilty
there is implied the idea that these
occurrences are 'deplored.'"
Vatican Action Awaited.
The note declared that Italy still
waited to hear the Vatican "deplore"
serious demonstrations In Jugoslav1a
allegedly authorized by church authori-
ties there for which Italy asked the
Vatican several months ago.
After these observations the note, 1t
was learned, accepted the Holy Sees
proposal for conversations to solve the
controversy rapidly and in friendly
manner"
italy agreed with the Vatican that 1t
was desirable to define more clearly
article 43 of the concordat, authorlz-
ing Catholic Action, which, 1t was
pointed out, was the only article OF the
Lateran agreement in dispute. Refer
ence was made to article A, which pro-
vides that any Interpretation needed
should be made in friendly manner
by common accord"
Interpretation Not Prejudiced.
The note, it was understood, empha-
sized that the closing of the clubs in
noviSe prejudiced such interpretation
because the organizations dissolved were
charged with activities against the
state and therefore had placed them
selves outside the provision OF article
43, which permitted Catholic Action
and its subsidiaries, but prohibited any
mixing in politics and limited them to
religious work.
italy renewed her protest against the
Pope'S many addresses discussing the
controversy and his campaign 'of TAX
ing the ofenses outside their proper
place" by appealing to world public
opinion.
The government asserted again that
the clubs held secret meetings" and
that their guiding spirit was distinctly
against the Fascist regime and OF Sc
ditious character"

position to know say the development
Of radio in many countries is far be-
hind that In the United States, which
does much to explain the continuing
popularity Of the photograph else
where.
However, such considerations are all
Of the present. One Of the most dis
tinctive characteristics Of humanity is
its Unsuitable curiosity. Human beings
are always interested in something strik-
ingly, boldly new. The present merger
brings about combination which is
virtually worldwide. This fact, cou-
pied with the development Of tele-
vision, presents a prospect which even
blase folk can contemplate with In
terest.
AS radio broadcasting develops, 1t may
be assumed that the facilities of the
Radio Corporation will be available for
its subsidiary units virtually through
out the world. When television has
reached an appropriate stage on de-
velcpment 1t may be expected to be In
cluded in the broadcasting programs.

HIGH SPEEDP PLANES
AIM FOR AIR RACES.
Director of Annual Aviation
Contests Reveals Plans
for Next Meeting.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND. Ohio, March al
Speed of the 800 to 400 mile an hour
variety is the ambition Of manufac-
turers as they design aircraft for
participation in the national air races
here August 20 to September Z.
Clifford Henderson, managing director
Of the races, announced this tonight
after an observation trip to some of
the principal manufacturing plants. He
also told Of his plans for innovations
at the races to create new speed dash
records and to imprint the meaning Of
rapid fight more strongly on the con-
seriousness Of the spectator.
One Of the leaders in the competition
for miles an hour will be Afford j.
williams, former United States Navy
lieutenant, who is developing new
motor Of 1000 to 1900 horsepower, to
weigh less than pound for each horse
power, Henderson said.
Strive to Reduce Resistance.
Besides developing lighter and more
powerful engines to beat the world
speed mark of 1883 miles an hour for
land planes and approach nearer to the
345.4 mark set by seaplanes, the manu-
facturers are running their craft
through a smoothing out process
doing everything they can to cut down
wind resistance, Henderson said.
He said there Is a great amount Of
work being done on retractible landing
gear to cut down something like 20 per
cent of the resistance. There are to
be many wing notifications and more
stream lining.
More manufacturers are installing
variable pitch propellors to increase top
speed as much as 20 miles an hour.
The races for speed dash records will
be on a mile straight-away course in
front Of the grandstands. Also over
this course the planes will make quail
flying flights for other speed events.
Plan Electrical Timing.
Races on this course will be cleo
trically timed To enable spectators to
know Just how many miles an hour the
plane that just went by was kicking UP,
officials will use rapid calculating ma
chimes and announce the speeds over
loud speakers.
Henderson also announced that
sportsmen vii be given an opportunity
at the races this year to compete
among themselves for trophies These
events are designed to make airplanes
more attractive for sport flying.
A permanent grandstand, 200 feet
long and 103 feet deep, for the races Is
being designed to seat 1000 to 10000
spectators, Henderson said. Temporary
seats will be added for $1,000 more. On
the stands will be promenade decks,
Offices for executives and room for news
paper men, and radio operators. There
viii be a network of telephone COM
munications over the stands and from
the field to the stand. There will also
be radio communication from the field
to the officials boxes, Henderson said.
