THOUSANDS TAKE
 DECENCY PLEDGE
Appeal of Bishop McAuliffe Read in Local
 Churches

Thousands of Catholics in Wa terbury approved of the Legion of Decency pledge which was read yesterday morning at all masses in Catholic churches. we are grat- flied not only by this display on the part of our parishioners," de- clsfred Most Rev. Maurice F. Me- Auliffe, bishop of the Hartford dio- cese, "but the great improvement which has been evident in the production of motion pictures"
 The bishop pointed out in his let- ter that about 95 per cent of the motion pictures now being screened in show houses are clean and fit to be seen, although he warned ''The vigilance shall not be re- faxed in the future and allow con- ditions to revert to the glorifica- ton of crime and decency."
 Cooperation from non-Catholic groups in the fight for cleaner pic- lures was praised by Bishop Mo- Auliffe who said that great credit should be given these agencies for their stubborn unwillingness to al- low the showing of immoral pic- lures.
 Catholic clergymen of the state received a letter from the bishop early last week requesting that they read the pledge at yesterdays masses and ask parishioners to show approval by raising the right hand.
 Yesterday in several of the local churches the priests, following. the reading of the bishops letter and the ceremony of the parishioners taking the pledge to cooperate in the movement to rid the country of indecent entertainment, took occa- sion to score the present standard of entertainment in the United States. Motto pictures and inde- cent stage programs were de- nounced and the faithful urged to adhere to their promise and to persuade others te join in the movement to purify public enter tainment.

NEWNRA ALABOR
POLICY SEEN
AS DRASTIC

NRA's policy statement regard.
ing labor and monopolies, drafted
by General Counsel Donald r..
Richberg, tentatively approved by
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, and now
reported in the hands of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, is expected to be
one Of the most significant pro
nouncements ever prepared by the
recovery organization.
Mr.. Richberg apparently con.
suited few If any Of the NRA Of.
ficialS who might conceivahly be
concerned in preparing the state
ment, the purpose Of which is to
provide a general basis for deal
ing with labor problems and al
legged monopoly practices. Pre-
Sumably it will clarity the much
discussed and ever more cloudy
Section Z (a) Of MIRA, relative to
collective bargaining, and viii de-
fine what constitutes monopoly
practice.
Action Essential
Whether it ever actually comes
into being will depend, Of course,
on President Roosevelt, though 1t
was believed probable that if it is
accepted announcement will be
made through NRA. It is generally
agreed thai matters have come to
Q head; that recurrent labor dis
putes have indicated the vital ne.
ceSsity that the law be laid down
Is to z (a) and that the forth
coming report Of Clarence Darrow,
Of the small business board, will
call sharp attention to the need
tor checking monopoly growth.
Organized labor, dubious but
hopeful, appeared to expect little
gain from the policy program. Its
leaders apparently were not con-
suited in the drafting of the state
ment, and the various "explana-
tions" Of Z (a) that have been
promulgated from time to time
have failed so signally to explain
that labor disputes are constantly
increasing in number.
Definite Policy Expected
With several serious strikes and
even more serious threats on the
horizon, it is felt that NRA must
adopt a definite stand on collec-
tive bargaining, and it is hoped
that this may appear in the pros
pective statement. The fear Is,
however, that it may turn out
merely another document Of the
sort that already have come from
the same mill.
As for monopoly growth, an.
nouncement of o definite policy
prior to the report Of the board
might have an excellent effect,
particularly if the policy seems
to be such as to correct the evils
Of which so many complaints have
been made to the board.

AIR MAIL BILL
WINS SUPPORT
IN SENATE
BY International News servics

BY International News Service
While hope faded today that
Congress would be able to legis.
late the permanent return Of
the air mail service to private
aviation before Friday, when the
Post office opens bids for tenn.
porary three months contracts,
support for the McCarran Sen.
ate bill taking the air mail out
of politics" was gaining in both
houses.
A similar measure was intro
duced in the House by Representa-
tive Wood CD Of Georgia. Mean
while the Black air mail inveSti-
eating committee resumed its de-
liberations tomorrow, while the
Army Air Corps continues to fly
the mail on a curtained schedule.
Commission Created
The measure introduced by
Senator McCarran CD of Nevada
would establish a national aviation
commission Of five members to
handle air mail contracts on q
prescribed poundage-per-mile basis.
The Senator called his plan "a
common sense measure to end the
chaos in the air mail situation"
Members Of the committee were
in dispute as to whether the
transcript Of the secret question
ing Of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
by Special Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Carl RiStine should be made
public.
Committee Behind II
Chairman Black Of the Senate
committee is agreeable to the
fundamental principles Of the
measure, as are q majority Of the
committee members. Independent
Democrats are strongly behind it.
THE bill introduced in the House
by Representative Wood has y1cor.
porated in it many Of the major
features Of the Kelly bill, which
has strong backing.
Meanwhile, as Chairman Black
maintained his position that the
Senate committee should not
make public the Lindbergh inter
view transcript, Senator White
(R.), Of Maine, declared he would
insist on publication.

numerous theories that were ad-
vanced as possible motives for the

q shadow Of doubt that the real
reason for the killing was the
fact that Mr.. Brown discovered
several men in the act Of robbing
his home.
