POPE MAY CONFER
WITH L|TV|NOFF
Premier MuSSoIini Plans to
Breach Subject of Religious
Liberty in Russia.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
ROME, November 28-Premier Mus
solini is planning to broach the subject
in forthcoming conversations with
Maxim Litvinof, Soviet foreign COM
missar. it was revealed today.
Mussolini hopes at least to secure
the liberty of the Pope for Italian
citizens along lines of that guaranteed
through the agreement by which the
American-Soviet agreement was reached.
1t was considered possible II Duce
might be able to arrange conversations
between Litvinoff and Pope Plus or
Cardinal Pacelli.
The Vatican and Italy have been
particularly close in the last two years
and their diplomacies have run on
parallel lines.
Prelates say the Vatican is counting
on Mussolini pursuing this friendship
to the extent of doing all in his power
to bring about rapprochment between
Russia and the Vatican. The Vatican
itself never has discontinued efforts
directed at reconciling Russia.
Special prayers toward this end still
are recited weekly in Italian churches
Speaking to pilgrims in September. the
Pope told them Russia was very close
to his heart because of the suffering of
the people there.
The conversations between Mussolini
and Litvinoff, who now is en- route to
Italy from New York, will be along
broad lines and the Russian foreign
commissar's visit was considered pro-
pitious for discussions of the religious
question.

BLAME THIEF AGAIN |
IN WYNEKOOP cASE|
Defense Will Stand on Bur.
qIary as Motive for
Crime.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 28.--A conten-
ton that her pretty daughter law
was slain by a robber was definitely in
dicated today as the defense DR.. Alice
Wynekoop will make, II and when
she is brought to trial for the death Of
Mrs. Rheta Wynekoop.
This revelation was made by DR..
Wynekoops attorney, Frank Tyrrell.
who said that his client would main
tain that her statement that Rheta died
accidentally from chloroform and that
a bullet was fired into the girls body
to make the death look like it was
caused b. an intruder, was a fabri-
cation.
"She knows nothing of all that stuff"
Tyrrell said. 'All she actually knows
is what she told the police in the first
place-that she found Rheta dead, dis
covered Sc missing. and called for med
ical aid and for an embalmer.
Stands BY First Statement.
ANY statement she may have made
to contradict her first one was given
after she had been without sleep for 10
hours and in response to clever sugges-
tions of police, prosecutors or their
alienists. Her first statement is her
true statement and that will be her
defense"
The attorney also charged that the
police had 'bungled" the case from the
beginning in suspecting DR.. Wynekoop
! instead of hunting for clues OF the IN
truder mentioned by her after Rheta's
partially nude body was found last
Tuesday on an operating table In the
doctors surgery.
Assistant States Attorney Charles S.
Dougherty. however, professed to be un-
perturbed by DR.. Wynekoop's repudla-
ton of her statement.
I'VE never believed it anyway" he
said
The prosecutor indicated he might
present the case to the grand jury
today.
Bullet Declared Death Cause.
Prior to this Dougherty conferred
with medical experts. One of them
DR.. Thomas L. DWyer, coroner's physi-
clan, who performed an autopsy on
Rheta's body-aSsured him the prose-
cutor said that Rheta died of bull
let wound
Meanwhile the police investigators
sought further information in an effort
to support the States theory that the
physicians son. Earle, and his mother
plotted RhetaS death to collect insur-
ance and free Earle of unsatisfactory
marriage bonds.

BY these tactics Mr.. Roosevelt saved
the falls of both Uncle Sam ard Welles.
The latter is too good man to lose in
the diplomatic service merely because he
kept picking wrong political horses in
Cuba. His job now is bigger than the
one he had. As Assistant Secretary OF
