Raids Made By Fascists

ROME, June 3. U.P)-Termina-
ton of the Faseist-Vatican contro-
versy appeared today when an in
spired note was issued from the Va
tican, enumerating eXtenuating cir
cumstances in the closure of Cath
olic clubs in Italy by the govern
ment.
Among the causes determining
the closing order" the note said,
was the intention of preventing
attacks against and invasions of
the clubs in an effort to prevent
outburSts, not alone against the
Pope, but against the king"
In all the clubs" the note said,
there were portraits of the Pope,
the king and Premier Mussolini,
In many cases the portraits of the
king suffered the same mutilations
as those of the Pope. Premier
Mussolinis portrait generally was
respected, but in one place its dis
appeared and it is not known where
it can be found.
Prom our investigation it has
been confirmed that the provision
closing all young mems clubs was
not formal application of the de-
cree recently issued but only po-
lice measure. The police said some
clubs had been closed only a few
days. In others. documents were
not taken away but the books were
closed and scaled.
The police have taken measures
against many important members

Complaints Cited
The government. in justifying
its action. says IL is in possession
of letters sent by Catholics and
priests. complaining against the po-
litical activities and the anti-Fas-
cist character of Azione Cattolica.
Besides which. when the govern
ment closed tn eclubs. 1t received
numerous letters of complaints
from Catholics and priests who OBJ
iected to the political activities of
the Catholic clubs.
The complaint in its final phase
may have originated in exaggerated
statements of certain Signor
Capa. one of the recent members
of the executive council of Catholic
Youth, which is composed Of only
IL members.
He was said to have attended
some public sittings of Azione Cat
tolica and to have given exagger-
ated accounts thereof, first offering
them to the government which re-
fused them, and then to the Fas-
cist part, which accepted them. In
those reports were published the

and Popolo Di Roma, which began

LONDON, June 3. U.P)-King
George v celebrated his 66th birth
day today, recovered in health and
vigorous enough to resume horse
back riding.
He planned more strenuous
birthday than usual, including
visit to EPSON Downs to witness the
annual running of the Derby. A

was arranged for this evening.
A surprise was caused by the

failed to create new labor party

in the House Of Lords. The list
created no new peers and only four
new baronets and 25 knights.

Just as Mrs. Duncan made a proper
entry, while Miss Marble and the Cali

Here's a little inside story OF this
blunder. Learning Of the intense feel
ing thet Mics Marbles failure to make
the tournament list would bring about,
ofncials were ready 10 substitute her for
Mrs Philip B. Hawk as that woman was
ready to make sacrifice of herself. The
question was: Will Miss Virginia Rice,

SO the lawn tennis oficials made a
