New York, May 9--(UP) ---The Rev Charles l.. Coughlin, pastor of the Shrine of the Little Flower at Royal Oak, Mich., and famous for his radio addresses in which he has repeatedly assailed capital ists and prohibitionists, declared today upon his arrival from Cali fornia aboard the liner Pennsylva- mia, that he has no intention of stopping his radio activities. He declined to discuss the recent ad- dress of Cardinal O'Connell of Bos- ton, whe referred to his radio talks as "hysterical" and expressed sharp disapproval of them.
 Being an ordinary and hum ble priest, it would be out of place for me to critisize a general in the army" Father Coughlin said. He added. however. that he considered himself directly responsible to Bishop Gallagher of Detroit, who has seen each of his addresses bc. fore they have been delivered. "When my bishop tells me to stop broadcasting." the priest said, "then I'll humbly obey"
 Father Coughlin, who has been on a vacation with his parents, Mir and Mrs Thomas J. Coughlin, said his new contract for regular broadcasts over a national chain of radio stations will go into effect October 18th land I hope to have more listeners this year than evcr."
