FRIENDS DOUBT
HOOVER SEEKS
'36 NOMINATION
RumorS Associated With
His Missouri Trip Are
Discounted.

BV United Press
WASHINGTON, March 31.-For-
mer President Herbert Hoover,
whose midweStern auto tour at
tracts attention. is definitely out OF
the 1886 presidential picture and
will take small part in the 1884 con-
greSSional campaign if the judg-
ment of his Washington friends is
any good.
Mr. Hoover was last reported in
Kansas City with Iowa, his native
state, the next stop. Explanations
vary of this eastward venture from
sunny California during a month
notable for doubtful weather in the
valleys Of the Kaw and the Mis-
souri,.
The best one, from a senator who
defends the Hoover administration
vigorously, is that Mr.. Hoover has
served a term of silence and is de-
Gliding in his own mind whether the
time has come to talk The former
President told friends as he left
Washington in March, 1888, that he
would utter no criticisms of the
Roosevelt administration for at least
a year.
AS recently as last autumn Mr..
Hoover assured a senatorial visitor
to Palo Alto that he would not be
a candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination in 1886.
The immediate question raised bv
his Missouri Iowa travel is
whether he is planning to become
active in the congressional cam
paign.
In conversation with a dozen
prominent Republicans who are or
have been close to the former Pres
ldent, the impression was given the
United Press that Mr.. Hoover would
not be pressed to mix deeply into
the 1884 congressional scramble.
There is no bond between the re-
Gently formed joint Republican
congressional campaign committee
and Chairman Everett Sanders of
the Republican national committee.
Creation Of the joint committee
served largely to exclude Mr.. San
ders from the 1884 campaign. Ard
Mr.. Sanders is Mr.. Hoover's man,
placed in charge in June, 1882. after
the Chicago nominating conven-
ton.
Some Republican congressional
candidates will state frankly, if p.i-
vately, that they hope Mr.. Hoover
will remain silent. Others feel that
he should present his views occa-
slonally in campaign statements to
the press. 1t would be an unusual
congressional campaign, indeed, in
which the man who polled the larg-
est popular vote ever achieved By
a Republican nominee sat silent
from April to November.
That Mr.. Hoover will not 90 on
the stump, or, even, on the radio
seems to be the Republican con-
sensuS here. 1t is likely, however,
that the latter part of the cam
paign period will discover his views
IN the newspapers.

CWA PROGRAM
COMES TO END
Every Person Needing Relief
viii Get 1t, Says
Harry Hopkins.
BIZ Lnitc6 PrcSS

By CHltC0 Press
WASHINGTON, March 31.-The
administrations civil works program
which cost $1,O0O,OOO,OOO and gave
work to 100000 people came to an
end today with about 100000 per-
sons still on the pay rolls.
With the ending of the CWA, the
government greatest experiment in
mass employment relief, relief ad-
ministrator Harry Hopkins an
nounced that all those still receiving
aid would be transferred automat-
ically to new constructive projects
under the revamped federal pro-
gram.
The new federal relief policy be-
comes operative Monday 1t is
planned to operate on a considerably
less expensive scale and to sprovide
the framework of a permanent
policy in federal relief.
Mr., Hopkins is hopeful that re-
viving business will continue gradual
absorption of unemployed, thus con-
stantly reducing the load of the fed
eral organization. The PWA pro-
gram will also tighten the burden.
Mr. Hopkins said that about three
fourths of the billion dollar CWA
expenditure went for wages and the
rest for materials. Appropriations
for materials in most cases were
MADE by local governments. The
CWA cost averaged $50,000,O00 week
ly and had a peak of $70,000,000
The cost of the new relief will be
Only $15,0OO,0O0 to $2O0OO,0OO.>
Mr.. Hopkins gave assurance that
demobilization of the CWA did not
mean the end of federal relief.
Every person in the United
tSates who needs relief will get it, -
he said. He explained that for the
most part work relief rather thai>
direct relief would be given.
The 100000 persons who re-
manned on the CWA rolls today
were largely urban workers.

At this juncture of our narrative
it becomes necessary to go back a
few years for quick glance at the
beginning of Catholicity in Amer
ica. In 1851 Lord Baltimore
George Calvert, convert to
Catholic FAITH, obtained a charter
from Charles I of England for a
settlement in Maryland.
A colony of 200 families sailed from
the Isle of Wight and reached the
shores of the Chesapeake on March
25, 1884. Lord Baltimore wanted
to establish refuge for his Catholic
cO-religionists from England who
at that time, were suffering many
hardships. English intolerance in

200 YEARS OF CATHOLICISM


Other centers besides Vincennes
demanded priests. On another visit
to Indiana in 1919, Bishop F1aget
brought Father Abel with him. who
preached in English. They visited
DavieSs county and discovered
church at Montgomery, then known
as Black Oak Ridge. They also
found a settlement at Washington
which had started there about 1913.
In 1928, Father Leo Champonier
was ordained at Bardstown (the
first ordination in that diocese). He
was sent to Vincennes as the first
permanent pastor In 1924, four
sisters of charity from Nazareth,
Kentucky came to Vincennes and
established an academy and day
school the same year.
Father Champonier resigned in
1881 and was succeeded by Father
Lawrence Picot At this time, the
Rev. Simon Lalumiere, native of
Vincennes, was ordained at Bards-
town and given charge of the
Catholic settlement in Daviess
county.
The growth of the church in In
diana made it imperative that there
should be a diocese within its own
borders. Requests and expressions
for a resident bishop were heard
from many parts of Indiana and
thus, when the second Plenary
Council of Baltimore convened in
1888, Bishops Rosati of St. Louis
and Flaget of BardstoWn presented
Indiana's problems of growth and
recommended new Diocese. On
May 6, 1884, therefore, came the
announcement from Pope Gregory
XVI, of the erection of the new
Diocese of Vincennes and the ap-
pointment of the Rev. Simon Ga
briel Brute as its first bishop. The
new diocese included all of Indiana
and a third Of the state of Illinois.

ministration, 1884 to 1889. Or

planted to the American common
wealth. 1t played an important
part in American history and in the
history of Indiana and the whole
Northwest Territory.
AS the scope Of this narrative is
confined largely to Indiana, many
important historical developments
east of the Appalachians must be
omitted even though they Ultimate
ly influenced the course of events
here. For our purpose, it suffices
to say that in 1903 the diocese Of
Baltimore, the first Catholic
diocese in the United States and
established in 1888, underwent its
first division in being made an arch
diocese.
NUT of it, three new Sees we're
" erected in the east; Boston,
New York and Philadelphia. In the
west, to serve the Catholic immi-
grants who we're pouring into the
Ohio valley, particularly in Ohio
and Kentucky, the diocese Of Bards-
town was erected in Kentucky with
the Rev. Benedict Flaget, a Sulpic-
ian as its first bishop
After Flaget was made bishop, the
Catholics Of Vincennes petitioned
him for priest. He could not send
them one because he did not have
any. But Father Rosati, after
wards bishop of st. Louis, visited
Vincennes in 1877. Bishop Flaget
himself arrived in 1918. Three priests
came to Vincennes about this time,
Father A. Blanc, Father Jeanjean
and later Father A. Ferrari.

new LAW ENDS
OIL PRICE WAR
IN TEXAS AREA
Ruinous Output Is Curbed
After Bitter Fight In
VoIving u. S.

~ . Hfffd IfffS
DALLAS, Tex. March 3l.-A new
era in the petroleum industry ap-
peared today as a combination Of
forces moved toward the ultimate
contr lof a ruthless gain that in
three years almost crushed the life
out Of the oil world.
The giant IS the East Texas oil
field.
When the East Texas pool was
discovered it was hailed as the
greatest in petroleum history. But
soon the cheers gave way to wall
ings. Hundreds upon thousands Of
barrels of crude belched forth un-
bridled from the field, and as the
oil flowed prices dipped.
Panic-striCken operators, refinerS
and distributors all over the country
were affected, as were world mar
kets They saw crude oil, which
not long before had sold for as high
as SO a barrel, dip to a low of 10
cents a barrel.
Price Proved RuinOus
Oil can't be produced profitably
no matter how great the supply, for
10 cents a barrel, or for any sum
near that figure.
Action to correct the situation
was taken but it proved ineffective.
The Texas Railroad Commission,
which has Jurisdiction over oil
matters in the state turned to what
appeared the only solutiOn-prora-
ton.
Probation orders were issued but
all were violated for the commits
sion couldn't back them up. Pro-
ducers Of %hot," or illegal oil, scoffed
at the commission, and went on
producing the enormous quantities
that were undermining the world
oil price structure.
Roosevelt Steps in
The situation became so alarm
ing that the federal government
and the President took a hand.
President Roosevelt issued an
executive order banning hot OIL
shipments from interstate COM
merce. The department of interior
placed agents in the field to see
that the order was enforced.
But a federal court decision held
the agents we're without jurisdlc-
ton.
simultaneously. however, with the
ruling that blocked the federal
government, came another federal
court decision upholding the valid
ity of the Texas railroad commits
siOns orders.
Even that was ineffective. Valid
or not the orders we're violated.
New Law Proves Effective
It remained for the Texas legis-
lature to provide the commission
with what is proving an effective
weapon in the battle for cOnserVa-
tion. 1t enacted a law making pro-
ration iolatiOn a felony punishable
by heavy fines and Imprisonment
In consequence hot" oil production
is being greatly Curbed. The major
companies have co-Operated in that
they have agreed to turn over to in
dependent refiners one-fifth of their
production at the prevailing price
of 81 per barrel.
If any independent refinery de-
clincs the offer, but continues to Op-
crate, it Immediately win be evil
dent that that company is obtain
ing hot oil. which still is selling
at beggars' prices.
Illegal oil still is flowing in East
Texas. but the traffic is on the
wane r. D. Parker, the railroad
commissioners chief supervisor, be-
lieves the estimated 10000 to $4,000
barrels now produced daily will be
completely halted by April 28
