ROME, June 13 G.N.S0.-Be
lief the controversy between the
Vatican and the italian govern,
ment over the latter's closing OF
Catholic clubs would soon be q
closed incident was expressed
here today.
The Pope, it was believed, has
decided to accept the inflexible
decision of Premier MussolinS
that Action Cattolica must not
in the future concern itself with
anything but spiritual matters
and must in particular avoid
politics.
1t was thought that the Vati
can was satisfied with the new
arrangement whereby Action Cat
tolica henceforth would be con-
trolled by local bishops except aa
to inter-dioceSan matters.
More than 20 towns, mostly in
Southern Italy, revOIted against
the POpe'S interdictiOn of public
religious professions, it was
learned today.

j. 8. To REJECT
BUDGET AIRY
ARMS CUT
Proposed Disarmament Plan
Works to Disadvantage of
America, Says Army Expert

That the American Government
will decline to participate in the
budgetary disarmament plan, to
be considered at the Geneva dis
armament conference proposed
for February, 1882, is expected
by proponents of sound national
defense and feared by all pacifist
organizations engaged in propa-
ganda favoring such participa-
ton.
And at the same time the paci-
fist groups are clamoring to know
why, particularly since President
Hoover's strong plea for land dis,
armament, uttered in his address
of welcome to delegates attending
the recent sessions of the Inter,
national Chamber of Commerce
in Washington.
An answer is to be found in
data obtained by The Washington
Times through a high military
authority. These data have to
do with the relative costs of
creating and maintaining arma-
mentS in the principal world
powers.
rs Per Cent Cut Suggested
While neither the preparatory
commission for the disarmament
conference nor the committee OF
experts on budgetary questions
has proposed a definite budget

England, has roughly suggested

NAVY YARD WINS
CONTROVERSY
ON LEAVE:
Per Diem Workers to Get Same
Status As Other Employees
Under HaIf-Saturday Law

The fight of more than 2,700
per diem workers in the Washing
ton Navy Yard to Win favorable
decision from Attorney General
Mitchell with respect to their an
nual leave status under the Satur-
day half-holiday law has been
won, it became known today.
To Get Same Status
These employees, mainly ma
chinistS and other skilled workers
in the gun factory. are to be
placed on the same footing as
civil service workers in the execu-
tive departments with regard to
half holiday privileges, under the
Department of Justice ruling.
The main point at issue has
been the number of hours to be
Subtracted from annual leave in
cases where employees take the
entire Saturday off from Work
When this matter came before
the Attorney-General with regard
to civil service workers, he ruled
that four hours, instead of eight.
should be cut from annual leave
as a. result of the full Saturday
off.
Ruling Due Next Week
But a different group of regu-
lations relating to per diem en-
ployes in Navy yards and arsenals
caused the personnel officials of
the Navy Yard to subtract eight
hours from annual leave reckon
ing in such cases.
Acknowledgement Mitchell is ex-
pected to promulgate his ruling
next week. It will affect all the
Navy yards, shore stations, and
arsenals in the country.

Coat Found on Beach, NeU
Papers Located in Greenwich
Home of Starr Faithful

NEW YORK, June 13 GNS0.
Starr Faithful, murdered Green
wich Village playgirl. was very
useful member OF an interna'
tional counterfeit ring.
In her regular committing tripa
to Europe, eight or 10 in the past
five years, the young beauty who
"tried every sensation" carried
large sums of spurious money fol
disposal abroad.
This was the latest theory au'
thoritieS were at work on today
in attempting to solve the mys'
terious death of the attractive,
neurotic young woman.
Coat Is Discovered
Meanwhile a score of police
were searching the sands OF
Long Beach near where the
bruised body of Starr was washed
ashore.
The beach Searchers found q
black fur-trimmed coat answer
ing the general description Of the
one worn by Starr when last
seen by her family. There was
telegram in one pocket Of the
coat. Inspector Harold F. King
of Nassau county was not over
enthusiastic over the find. 1t
probably isn't the one worn by
Starr, he said. The garment IS
too old.
In discussing the case with re.
porters, King said that all the
/ information uncovered so far
could be interpreted in any OF
three ways-suicide, accidental
drowning or murder. He SAID:
"YOu could argue as effect
lively one way as another on
the information so far"
The counterfeiting gang angle
was brought forward by authorl'
ties today to explain, to soma
extent, the large amounts OF
money Starr possessed, while
members of her immediate family
were in near want.
Acted AS GO-Between
The information linking Starr
to the counterfeit ring made 1t
appear that she acted as a go

NAVY OFFICER
ASSISTS IN
RESCUE
Steamers Wash Blamed for
Speedboat Tragedy; Victim
Was Linotype MachInlst

Chester Particle, 81, of 1926 G
st. S. E., was drowned early today
and two companions narrowly es-
caped death when their sea sled
capsized off Indian Head.
The companions, FentOn Parker
and Freddy O'Keefe, were rescued
by Lieut.. COmdr. E. M. Sem and
Chief Pharmacists Mate H. T.
Ward, attached to Indian Head,
who put off in small boat when
they heard cries for help.
Was Good Swimmer
Particle, who was supposed to
have been an expert swimmer,
struck out for shore after the
boat turned over, but went under
in deep water a short distance
from the scene of the tragedy.
Parker also started for shore
and was taken out of the water
by Commander Sem. He was
at the point of exhaustion when
rescued.
O'Keefe remained clinging to
the upturned craft.
Caught in Backwash
1t is believed that the acci
dent occurred when the sea sled
was caught in the backwash OF
a Washington and Norfo ol k
steamer which had just passed
down the Potomac.
Small boats and an airplane
from Dahlgren are searching the
river for the body of the drowned
man. Particle was employed as
q linotype machinist on The
Washington Times.
When informed of the tragedy
his mother, with whom he made
his home, collapsed. He was
unmarried.
