Berlin, July l2-(UP)-Evangeli- cal and Roman Catholic churchmen awaited the Nazi governments re- action today to manifestos read yes- terday in all pulpits-the Catholic one urging united action against "the anti-C Christ" the Evangelical one imploring the government to make an honorable" peace with the church. The Catholic plea was one for unity of Catholics and Protest ants alike in the church fight. Cath olics were warned not to trust re- ports in German newspapers re- garding Catholic matters, and the German press was accused of "go- ing forward ever more vigorously against the church" What the Ger man press wrote regarding the church, 1t was asserted, was mot always true" All Catholics were urged to stand by the church. It was said that the Catholic church noted with great satisfaction that in Protestant churches as well as in the Catholic churches the faith full were not falling away from their cause.
 "Even arrests and other tribula- tions are not sufficient cause for Protestants to leave the church, !" said the manifesto. If all remain 1 faithful to the Christian faith, all will 60 well. All Christians must

CITY ENERGIES
 FROM HEAT WAVE.
Drop of z5 to 30 Degrees Was Helped Along By
 Thunder Storm

Life was back to normal in Wa terbury today, with the temperature averaging 25 to 30 degrees less than during the five-day heat spell which was cracked by heavy showers last night. Rain this morning brought further relief, and sent the mercury down to "A degrees, at which point it remained most of the morning.
 On four of the five days the tenn perature scared over the i0-degree mark, and activity of almost every sort except swimming was curtailed. The l5,000 local factory workers who returned to work today after a. week off were fortunate in being away from their employment during the hottest week of the year.
 Thunder storm Helps
 The hot spell ended with a terrific thunderstorm that visited the city at 9:S0 last night. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, accompanied by torrents of welcome rain. More than an inch of rain fell last night and this morning.
 The rain held off until almost the city's vacationers and week-enders had returned home. Thousands took advantage of fair weather earlier yesterday to journey to the noun tains, lakes or seashore. Early yes- terday afternoon the temperature climbed to 10l degrees.
 Following the worst of the storm, the temperature began rising again, and remained at 7S during the night. Then. the rain this morning sent it down again.

 Iieved Hopeless Task

Honolulu, July 12.-CUP).-Vir- tually all hopes of finding Amelia Erahart and Frederick J. Noonan, her navigator, lost in the Pacific since July 2, rested today with the navy flyers aboard the carrier Lex ington.
 The big ship, ploughing along at half speed to conserve fuel, is ex- pected to enter the search late to- day or Tuesday. There was no definite word, however, as to where the search, virtually amandoned as hopeless by the three flyers aboard the battleship Colorado, would start.
 There are 62 planes and 300 fly CTS on the Lexington. It is estimat- ed they can cover the entire search area of approximately 36o,000 square miles in three or four days. If that fine combing of the waters around Rowland Island fails to produce a trace of the missing round the world flyers it is presumed the navy will abandon the hunt.
