SEEKS TO PREVENT

Col. Wade H. Cooper Files
Motion to Stay Any
Proceedings.

Col Wade H. Cooper. president OF
the United States Savings Bank, to-
day took legal steps designed to pre-
vent liquidation of the bank by its

Through his attorneys, John w.
Staggers and w. Bissen Thomas, Col.
Cooper filed in the Court of Appeals
a motion to stay any proceedings on
the part of the Treasury or the re-
ceiver to liquidate the bank
The motion asked the court to hold
the assets of the bank in status quo
until Col. Cooper's appeal in the saw
ings bank case, now pending in the
Court of Appeals, is decided. He
asked that the case be set for early
hearing as soon as the Government
has completed its side of the case.
Col. Cooper has appealed from an
adverse decision of the District Su-
pIeme Court in which the court up
held the Treasury Department in the
TreaSurys rejection of his plan to
reopen the bank. In his appeal, he
is attempting to get the court to force
the Treasury Department to reopen
the bank on the Cooper plan.
Receiver Keene was appointed
Saturday and Immediately following

ury Department went to the bank
and took charge.

THIEVES SMEAR DOORS
TO AVOID DETECTION
Concealed From Passersby, They
Futilely Batter Safe in
Shoe Store.

Two front door windows of the
Thorn Mean shoe store, 4l8 Seventh
street, were covered with a varnish
by thieves last night to prevent pass
ersby from viewing the interior of
the store while they attempted to
crack the store safe.
The robbers, with the aid of lad
der, entered the store through door
transom. Apparently they first
smeared the windows as precaution-
ary measure and then began work on
the safe in a small rear room.
The safe knob had been knocked
off and efforts made to force the door
loose with the aid of chisel, screw
driver and heavy hammer. Police
found the safe lying face up on the
floor, battered, but still intact.
A check was being made to see If
any merchandise had been stolen,
but it was believed not. Peter Lieb-
ling Is manager of the store.

BENTLEY HEARINGS
MAY CLOSE TODAY
Senate Subcommittee Approval
Seen on Juvenile Court
Nomination.

The Senate subcommittee handling
the nomination of Miss Fay L. Bent
lev to be Judge of the District Ju-
veniIe Court may reach a decision
this afternoon without holding further
hearings. Approval of the appoint
ment was expected.
The subcommittee had invited Miss
Bentley to appear before it some time
this week to present any statement
she might care to make.
Senator King, Democrat, Of Utah,
chairman of the subcommittee, said
today, however, that the subcommit-
tee may proceed to act on the nomi-
nation later today. The decision of
the subcommittee will go directly to
the Senate by permission granted
today by the full committee.
The main argument advanced by
opponents of the nomination at public
hearings last week was that Miss
Bentley does not possess sufficient
legal experience because she has not
practiced law in the courts. Many
witnesses appeared in favor of her ap-
pointment, however, including num-
Der of lawyers who testified she has
ample knowledge of law and, in ad-
dition. has had long experience in the
field of social service work.

PICTURED
ASETERNAL ROCK
Bishop of Richmond Speaks
on Plus Anniversary
Program Here.
he Potomac of Wash

The papacy was pictured as the
eternal rock around which temporal
governments wane and fall, at SOL
emn high mass this morning in the
National Shrine at Catholic Univer-
sity. celebrating the twelfth anniver-
sary of the coronation of Pope
Plus XI.
Foreign diplomats, statesmen, SOL
diers. churchmen and Government
officials we're represented in the
throng that gathered in the shrine as
the imposing ceremony of the Catholic
Church was intoned to do honor to
its head
The sermon was preached by Most
Rev Andrew J. Brannan, Bishop OF
Richmond. He said the Pope is the
only ruler who sits secure on his
throne amid "malestrom of world
wide upheaval.'
Ideas Change.
"Our very ideas of Government have
gone through a revolutionary change" "
he said. I'VE were not startled by
the gradual giving way of the mo-
narchial form of government to the
democratic form. We had come to
look upon this as logical process.
I'VE had, somehow, come to take it
for granted that the democratic form
of government was theif1nal stage in
governmental evolution. 1t seemed
folly to even suspect the soundneSs Of
this taken-for- granted ultimate form.
But now other forms Of government
seem to have caught the fancy of
peoples and democracy is beginning to
wane. The initial success which seems
to have been met with in these ex
periments has given them great i'm
petus, and success in such matters
seems to be the ultimate criterion"
He reviewed the history of the Pope
and the Papacy and stressed the in
fiuence of the Vatican on the world.
Mass Celebrated.
The Very Rev. Egido Gagnozzi,
S. T. D., secretary of the Apostolic
Delegation, celebrated the mass. The
Most Rev. Amleto Giovanni Cicog-
nami, Apostolic Delegate to the United
States, presided and received the dis

rooms of the shrine.

sadors from Great Britain. Peru. Bel
GUM. Brazil, the Argentine, Spain,
Poland, Italy and France, as well as
Ministers and other diplomatic Off
cials from other nations. Members of
Congress, cabinet officers and heads
of other education institutions were
