Vatican City, Dec. 17.-(UP)- Pope Plus may make Christmas Eve appeal for peace in Spain. it was said today on semi-onicial au- thority. The pope hopes to be well enough by Christmas Eve to receive his cardinals and to acknowledge their greetings. it was said. After his acknowledgement, 1t was said. the pope was expected if his physi- clan permitted. to review the world situation from the viewpoint of the Roman Catholic church with par ticular reference to the Spanish civil war. This references, tine semi- official sources said. would include an earnest plea for peace.
 The pope this morning. 1t was as- serted. instructed Cardinal Granite Pignatelli Di Belmonte. dean of the College of Cardinals. to prepare the address in which in accordance with tradition the cardinals on Christ mas Eve convey Christmas greetings and New Year good wishes to the pope, through the dean.

will be it to resume some of his duties. It was hoped that he might be able to resume the more impor- tant audiences.
 If he is able to make his address on Christmas Eve. well informed sources say, the pope is likely to cite the recent Pan American con- ference at Buenos Aires, which President Roosevelt opened. as a commendable effort to create good will among nations. and practical means of maintaining peace. Vat lean officials said the pope passed a most comfortable night.
 Usually well informed sources predicted that if the pope made the expected Christmas Eve speech. he would say that the church as repre- sentative of the Prince of Peace. was opposed to any sort of war or other violence. and hence was most de- sirous of the restoration of peace to Spain.
 He was expected to cay also. how ever, that peace in Spain should be based on the definite abandonment of any attempts to destroy Roman Catholic sentiments in Spain. He might also. 1t was suggested recom- ment that athelstic and txlti-religi- ous movements be dropped as part of any peace agreement.

 Salt Lake City, Dec. 17--UP)-- An aerial searching party that has been grounded two days by a snow- storm that ragged among the peaks of the Wasatch- mountains took off today in an attempt to find the Western Air Express transport that disappeared 52 hours ago.
 None of the pilots or airline exc cutiyes who acted as observers from the six planes that left the airport here shortly after 9 a. rn., M. s. T., held much hope for finding the four passengers and three members of the crew alive. Even if they had survived 8 crash, the snow storm and bitter cold would have made life in the desolate region most diff ficult.
 None Could Have Lived

 After hearing testimony for eight days, General Sessions Judge Owen w. Bohan declared 6 mistrial in the case yesterday when Assistant District Attorney Eugene J. Finne- gan told the court he was trying an indictment charging the two men with extortion of $l2.900 from Alfred l.. Smith, Jr., lawyer son Of the former governor.
 Judge Stops Trial
 When defense counsel objected to Finnegan,s mention of the Smith case, Judge Bohan declared a re- cess and returned a few minutes later to announce that "the observa- ton of the district attorney was SC prejudicial to each of the defendants that 1t would prevent them from getting a fair trial before this jury
 He ordered Krone taken back tc the Tombs where he has been a prisoner since June, unable to fur nish $5O,O00 bail on the Smith in dictment. Ross was granted his lib- erty on the $5.O00 bail he furnished earlier.
 Witness Was Talking
 Sudden ending of the trial came as attractive Katherine Pavlick was telling of her connection with the Ileged extortion from Smith The defense insisted that the ques- tions asked here were improper be- caus the 6templemap indictments referred to earlier occurrences.

ExCOMMUN|CATE GREEK PRIESTS
Six Clergynlen Put Out. side Fold of Catholic
 Church By Holy See

Bridgeport, Conn, Dec. 17-lUP) -Six Greek Cathlic priests, i've from Pennsylvania and done from Connecticut, have been excomInuni- cated by the Holy See for a move ment, schismatic in purpose and manner" 1t was revealed today in a communication from Bisiip Mau- rice F. McAuliffe of the Hartford diocese.
 The accommodation, 1t was re- ported, was the outgrowth of seven years disagreement between the priests and the Most Rev. Basil Takach, Homestead, Pa. over policy The Rev. Orestes P. Chornock. this city, was named as leader of the schisrnatic movement.
 The Rev. Chornock and the others. the Revs. Stephen varzaly, Constan- tine Aururon, Ireneus Dolhy, Peter Molchany and John 6oroka, all of Pennsylvania, were charged with creating a diocese within . diocese as result. of their differences with Bishop Takach.
 What Bishop Wrote
 "All of these," said Bishop Mc- Auliffe's letter to the Rev. Chornock, "are engaged in the effort to draw as many as possible of the faithful away from the obedience of their lawful pastor, Bishop Basil Takach. deceiviiig them with clever felse- hoods and weakening in them that sense of reverence and of subnis- sion to authority which is an in- dispensable safeguard of the virtue of faith itself"
 The Rev. Chornock described the accommodation as "just another step in Bishop Takach's attempt to crush us." He said his group Is at- tempting to retain privileges of marriage, while Bishop Takach re- fuses to lordain young men who are married or refuse to take vows not to marry.
 He denied any schism in the church.
