Washington, Aug. 2.-(UP)-
Administration leaders, smarting
under two rebuffs by the house,
virtually abandoned hope today for
a compulsory death sentence" this
session for unnecessary" utility
holding companies.
Hopes for breaking of senate
house conference deadlock on the
Wheeler Rayburn utility bill re-
ceived a severe setback when the
house reaffirmed its opposition to
the death sentence" and then in.
structed its conferees insist "out-
siders" be barred whenever "neces-
sary" from conference sessions.
Senate leaders, while unwilling
to announce abandonment of the
death sentence" clause, did not
appear optimistic of it's eventual
acceptance by the house. They
hoped, however, to salvage some
sort of regulatory bill.

While administration leaders
took stock, the senate and the
house lobby investigating commits
tees adjourned until next week. A
race developed, meanwhile, be-
tween the two groups for custody

effect that the Holyoke matter has
been referred to the justice depart

Mr.. Tremaglio said today that
he has not taken steps to hire
counsel because he knows nothing,

Instigated by prominent Catholic |
writers in several religious publ |
cations, an appeal to Catholics
throughout the country for contri-
buttons aiding an Episcopalian
journal in paying $4,000 verdict
awarded against it in damage
suit brought by an attorney for
the Motion Picture Producers of
America gained impetus in Water
bury today.
In an editorial in the Catholic
Transcript, Rt. Rev. Msgr. Thomas
s. Duggan, editor of the publica-
ton, urges that contributions be
offered by readers. Monsignor
Duggan has contributed $40 to the
fund.
The suit was brought against
"The Churchman," outstanding
publication of the Episcopal
church in the United States by
counsel for the motion picture cor
poration and was based on an err
roneous statement in the magazine
which had originally appeared in
a trade journal. Publishers of
the Churchman are making an eff
fort with the support OF other re-
ligious journals, both Catholic and
Protestant, to raise funds to meet
the payment of damages. The cur
rent issue of 1.-THE Commonweal.
Catholic weekly, contains similar
appeal.
Monsignor Duggan's editorial
follows:
..Mr. Marlen Edwin Pew, news
paperman of long and honorable
service, has written to the editor of
the Transcript to state the case of
the Churchman, the Oldest reii-
gious publication in the English
speaking world, and its editor.
Rev. Guy Emery Simpler, one OF
thea biest and most sincere men in
religious Journalism
The Churchman and its editor
are both in trouble. DR.. Simpler has
attacked mercilessly the publishers
of corrupt motion pictures. One of
them has brought suit against the
paper and its editor, and between
them arey are to pay fine OF $lO'--
zoo. The victory was technical and
nothing better. Both the paper and
its editor are without money.
''Dr. Simpler was pioneer in
making war on bad movies. His at
tacks antedated by two years the
campaign of the Legion of Decency.
Mr.. Pew declares that the judg-
ment against the editor of the
Churchman ought to be paid by
the beneficiaries of his crusade.
who are they?' Well, for instance.
the Sunday school children who
have not witnessed as many sex
pictures, or films clarifying gang
sters, dressed-up criminals and
spangled har1ots, as they saw In
every motion picture house three
wears ago. / think the Sunday
school children ought to be willing
to pay, penny by penny, the Cab

also is missionary work parents of

PIPELINE IS
TILT WINNER
Injunction Banning Use
Of Risht-of- Way On
Highway Dismissed

The Valley Pipe Lines have won
the first round Of their legal joust
with the state highway department
over the common carriers right to
use the Port Isabel arreda state
highway In laying its line.
The temporary order restraining
the company from use Of the right
of-way was dissolved In l03rd dis
trict court here Friday afternoon
following a hearing before Special
Judge Bryce Ferguson, who acted
for Judge a. M. Kent who Is a
cationing In Iowa.
Supporting the contention Of the
company, Judge Ferguson ruled the
concern had statutory right to use
the state highway subject to regu-
latios1s OF the highway department
and in certain instances regula-
tons Of the commissioners court.
Under Texas laws, the pipelines
can make use Of state highways In
laying pipes providing the line is
Is feet outside OF the improved por-
ton OF the highway. IL can lay the
pipe within the IS feet margin sub
iect to highway department regu-
latiOns.
The chief discussion at the hear
ing Friday revolved on what consti-
tuted the improved" portion Of the
highway. The attorney generals
department. represented by John w.
Pope, Jr., contended that the shoul-
ders, and bar pits were part Of the
Improvements"
After the temporary restraining
order. which had been In effect
about three weeks, was dissolved
on motion OF the defendants, a
hearing then was held on applica-
ton Of the highway department for
"a permanent injunction which
would keep the pipeline off the
states right-of-way. This motion
was denied and counsel for the state
gave notice Of appeal.
The pipeline was represented by
Davenport & Ransome Of Browns
vile and Strickland. Ewers AZ VIII
kins OF Mission with Harbert Da-
'venport and j. F. Ewers taking the
lead In the arguments.
The states case was presented by
