POPE Plus PANIED
. BY C0UGH[|N TALK
PreIate at Vatican Admits
Bishop May Be on Way
to Discuss Matter.
Py tie Associated Press.

Py TIE Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY, July 23.-A high
American prelate said today Father
Charles E. Coughlin's political activi-
ties and a recent speech in which he
called President Roosevelt "a liar" had
caused "a painful impression" at the
Vatican.
Pope Plus, nevertheless, will await
the report of Bishop Michael Gal
lagher of Detroit before taking any
action. Bishop Gallagher is Father
Caughlin's ecclesiastical superior, and
now is en- route to the Vatican. He
is expected here tomorrow.
The holy father is very loath to
act in an American or any other dio-
cese. unless it is in conjunction with
the bishop Of that diocese" the prelate
said. Much, therefore, will depend on
what Bishop Gallagher has to say to
the Pope.
The prelate said the subject Of
Father Coughlin's political activities
undoubtedly would be discussed, and
conceded it was quite likely the bishop
had been summoned to the Vatican to
talk over the matter
Un New York, Bishop Gallagher
said before sailing that while he dis
approved the language used at the
Cleveland Townsend convention by
Father Coughlin, he had not rebuked
the radio priest. nor did he intend to
rebuke him.
(However, the bishop said all copies
of the Coughlin speeches had been
sent regularly to Rome. He found
nothing particularly disturbing" in
a priests taking political leadership,
adding it was the duty of priest,
educated at the expense of the COM
munity and therefore representing the
community, to express himself openly
on matters involving public welfare.
CThe Bishop added: Father Cough
lin has done this and done it well.'D
Regarding reports Pope Plus might
transfer Bishop Gallagher to another
diocese and place in his stead another
bishop, the prelate here said it was
unlikely such step would be taken.
1t would be very unusual to transfer
a bishop of Gallagher's seniority.
Reports of possible drastic actions
against Father Coughlin also we're dis
counted, the prelate stating any action
to be taken likely would consist of a
command from the priests bishop to
refrain from further political activity.
The American prelate also said he
understood the nrincinal crnonlaint
against Father Coughlin was of alleged
misquotation of papal encyclicals on
economic subjects.
The presence here of Msgr Ameleto
Giovanni Ciconani, apostolic dele
gate to Washington, led some prelates
to believe he intended to make a re-
port on Father Coughlin, but Msgr.
Cicognani denied such intention upon
arriving in Naples.

The Governor was asked if he in

merely referred his newspaper inter-
viewers to the speech of acceptance
he is to make tonight. He made no
denial that well qualified Democrats
might be selected for cabinet posts.
Indeed, it is understood that such
appointments will be made. The
Governor has firm conviction that the
country must pull together to get out
of its present difficulties And it is
believed that he will make no bones
about picking the best men he can
find to do the job.

Nevertheless. in all but few Of the
States, mostly those heavily industrial,
