BOSTON, Jan. I'm q New

annals Of patriotism, Cardinal
O'Connell, dean Of the Catholic
hierarchy in America, yesterday
warned Catholics and all liberty
loving Americans to resist COM

curates In $50 churches Of the
archdiocese. to more than mil
lion persons attending holy day
masses. The cardinal asked:
Ito whom shall 70 turn?
To Christ or Lenin?"
"Our civil and religious lib
critics have been dearly bought.
As Catholics and as citizens,
we owe it to religion and to
our fathers, whose blood pur-
chased them, never to falter
In their defense"
He branded communism ian
od1ouS tyranny"
Preach Universal Thrift
He referred to the Communist
as "a frenzied foreign agitator,
drunk with the first draught Of
the free air Of democracy"
He asserted that the Commu-
nistS preach universal theft in
the name Of human liberty"
He said it was a clear duty to
be perpetually vigilant against
those who are trying to introduce
communism in the United States.
He reminded Americans of the
necessity of resisting "the be-
ginnings Of evil' and he told his
flock that "a man can measure
his fitness to rule by his ability
to obey"
He defended the human soul,
which the Communists deny.
After declaring that riches and
material prosperity were not in
themselves evils in the sight of
God, but that there was an OBJ
legation to right use, he urged
mutual cooperation and good will
between capital and labor, and
continued, in part:
"Failure to heed the warnings
Of Leo XIII, voiced over 40
years ago and renewed by Plus

By DAVID P. sENTNER

LIVERPOOL, Jan. 2 Q.N.S).
Liverpool and the rest Of England
proceeded to forget the three
1indberghs.
The British press had informed
Colonel Lindbergh he would be
assured privacy if he would aban-
don his methods of secrecy in his
comings and goings. Colonel Lind.
bergh declined to do this, but
Britain already was forgetting
him, his wife and infant son Jon
anyway.
While England, used to harbor.
ing kings and queens and world
notables Of all sorts unoStenta-
tiously, was losing interest in the
Lindberghs, they themselves were
deeply concerned with England;
they still apparently were unde-
cided where they will live.
Spend Day In Hotel
: The little family spent New
Year Eve and New Year Day in
the Adelphia Hotel here. They
were said to be considering visit
ing the estate Of ]. P. Morgan in
Scotland. Mrs. -Iindbergh'S father,
the late Dwight Morrow, was a
Morgan partner.
The Lindberghs also were be-
neved to be still considering NOV
ing into a home owned by Aubrey
Morgan, brother-in-law Of Mrs.
Lindbergh, at st. Brides Super
Ely, near Cardiff, Wales. A report
published in the London Daily
Telegraph said they expected to
leave England in Q few days to
make their home near Cartagena,
Spain.
AS the Lindberghs were spend
ing their third day in the hotel,
little Jon was seen restleSSly press
ing his face against . window
pane of the suite, although he
could see little because Of the
thick Liverpool fog mantling the
streets.
Refuses to Talk
British newspapermen tried to
interview Colonel Eindbergh, who
refused to deny he had taken his
family from the United States be-
cause of the crime situation.
\ Robert Gregory, London banker
helping the LindherghS arrange
their affairs, would say only that
Colonel Lindbergh was in Eng
land for peace and rest" Colonel
Lindbergh declined to talk.
So the LindberghS were left to
the privacy they are supposed to
have been denied in the United
States.
Since their arrival nobody ex-
cept their waiter, their chamber.
maid, and an elevator attendant
have seen the LindberghS face to
face. The waiter must knock q
certain number Of times before he
is permitted to enter their suite,
and a detective was assigned to
cover their floor.

And there is Joe Baker.

hardly be a stunning surprise.
They are capable of much and

What may turn out to be the

the 10 best in the city.
Can't Ignore Muscoe
Muscoe hasn't been competing
as much as in past years but he's
always in good physical trim and
will make things plenty tough for
Judd, former Suburban League

Schmeling-Louis fiasco, it isn't a
good policy to count Muscoe out

Another snappy battle finds Ray
Sherry battling Joe Baker. George
