BISHOP
PRAISES EDWARD
Dr.. Kempthorne Says He
Gave "UnseIfish, Effective
Service" to Nation.
By the Associated Press.

LONDOi<. December 20. The
Bishop of Lichfield, disregarding tht
recent plea of the Archbishop ol
Canterbury to turn from the past
to the future" commended former
King Edward today as giving "un.
selfish, effective service" to his nation
"As for the closing incidents of hi,
reign. it is not for us to judge" Right
Rev. John Augustine Kempthorne
wrote in his diocesan magazine.
He had to judge between difhcult
alternatives. We wish he had chosen
the course which to him would have
been harder and more painful, but
we may at least be thankful he chose
to resign his unique position as King
and Emperor rather than cause griev-
GUS trouble and dissension within the
Empire"
(The Bishop Of Lichfelds state
ment concerning the Kings adbica-
ton was the first from a Church OF
England prelate since the Archbishop
Of Canterbury's radio address Sunday,
(Then, in a statement interpreted
as plea for attacks on the Duke of
Windsor to cease, the highest church
official declared:
("Let us look upon all that has hap
pened as a call to re-establish and
resettle the foundations of our ma
tional life.')
"The nation as a whole will cherish
no unkind thought of our late King"
DR.. Kempthorne declared.
"As the Prince of Wales he was
faithful to his motto: 'Ich diem Il
serve). and when he became King he
still followed the pathway of un-
selfish. effective service.
I'VE shall not forget his courage
during the war nor his understanding
sympathy with his people, especially
with those who were the least for

TACOMA, Wash, December 29.-
Apparent fears for the safety of To-
year-old Charles Mattson brought
search for the kidnap victim to an
abrupt standstill here today.
At the Mattson home a single elec-
trio light bulb burned at dawn, while
none of the occupants stirred.
Searching parties which have
secured the Tacoma area returned to
their headquarters. Guards around
the home were withdrawn
DR.. w. w. Mattson, wealthy father
Of the boy, announced publicly he
would make no attempt to communi-
cate with the kidnaper until advised
by authorities to do so.
Department of Justice agents, who
assumed full charge Of the investiga-
tion, vouchsafed no explanation of
the cessation of activities. DR.. Matt
son, who verified the stop" orders
given himself and searchers, also Of
fered no reason.
NCotS Auh odiCsy oCCus
Unoficial observers deduced fears
for the boys safety were responsible.
1t was known the Justice agents ex-
pressed such fears in canceling a
projected minute search of territory
surrounding the home. Police officials
said the agents reasoned the kid.
naper might kill Charles if he had
him secreted somewhere near by and
heard officers approaching.
Police at headquarters had only one
false rumor during the early morning
hours to break the monotony of their
vigil.
The false rumor sent q squad of
State and city police to investigate Q
strange light in an old warehouse.
They found factory recently installed
there was working overtime.
One director of the searching force
suggested the doctors 10-year-old son
may have been a kidnapping victim by
chance.
Note Folded and Refolded.
The oficial, who demanded his name
not be used, said the ransom note left
by the kidnaper had been folded and
refolded, was printed long before it
fluttered to the Mattson floor, and
apparently had been carried in o
pocket for at least two or three weeks.
The official deduced that the kid
naper either had been watching the
Mattson residence for several days or
had been cruising the neighborhood
in search of q victim.
He said he favored the second theory
and pointed out that the kidnapers q
words, This place ought to be worth
some money" would fit well with that
explanation. He added that he be-

MILD SEDATNE
SOUGHT FORPOP
Physicians Seek to Relieve
Pain-PreIate's Condition
Is "Unchanged."
By the Associated Press.


VATICAN CITY, December 20
Physicians attending Pope Plus. seri-
ously i'll with paralysis and old-age
complications, searched today for mild
sedatives to relieve the Pontiff's pain.
The condition of the 79-year-old
Holy Father was described as "un-
changed" a report which inspired hope
in prelates simply because no new
crisis has arisen.
Officials declared the excruciating
pain the Pope has been suffering in
his paralyzed left leg cannot be re-
lieved with ordinary opiates because
of possible depressing effects on the
patients heart.
Some cautious experimentation with
milder sedatives has been proceeding
during the last few days. they said.
The Pope today received Camille
Cardinal laurent. prefect of the Con-
gregation of Rites, in addition to Eu-
genio Cardinal Pacelli, papal secretary
of state.
Sleeps Fitfully.
The Holy Father slept fitfully
through the night, his attendants said,
but was able to listen to morning
mass recited by his secretaries, as
has become his custom.
Well-informed sources said the pa
tient was neither better nor worse
than yesterday after DR.. Amanti Mi
lani, his chief physician. made his
thorough morning examination.
Personages who visited the Vatican
described the pontif as "in a very
serious condition"
They left with the impression the
Holy Father might die at any time,
although they emphasized there was
a possibility of his living for some
days, or even months.
While these persons did not see the
pontiff himself. they talked at length
with prelates close to the Pope.
Until yesterday his holiness had
been reported as believing his illness
was only temporary, spirit his doc
tors fostered as the best remedy for
the partial paralysis which has
spread from his legs to his left side
and arm.
Will Forego Ceremony.
Orders issued today showed the Vat
lean would forego most of its New
Year ceremony. Members Of the Dip
Iomatic corps, instead Of going to
the Vatican as usual, will be received
by Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli at st.
John Lateran.
The papal secretary of state will
celebrate . special New Year eve mass
there for them.
At the same time, however, these
instructions indicated hope for the
Pope's recovery had not been aban-
doned.
Medical bulletins concerning his
health were still prohibited at the
holy fathers request. The Pope had
been previously reported to have is.
sued orders against them because he
felt there was nothing to worry about
in his illness.
Prayers for the Pope's recovery, as
well as an official air of optimism.
were encouraged.
