munisEn and contrasting with them
the salutary truth taught In the
church.
The sad effect Of communicate
evils, the encyclical said, already
had beer made evident In several
nations Mexico, Spain and espe-
ciaIly Russia, which was chosen, 80
to speak, as testing ground for this
new doctrine"
ITO the real Russian people, sad
dened and oppressed, the Holy
Father offers the expression Of his

The Pope proposed remedies to be

the faithful:

Better Understanding
The encyclical recommends to all
a better understanding and fuller
study Of the doctrines Of the church,
which alone In the name OF Jesus
Christ can show the paths OF true
civil progress. This action must be
joined to study II the snares Of
communism are to be avoided ef-

The encyclical declared that In
the front line OF the battle against
communism should stand the priest,
whose duties are TO show the way

The Catholic action organization,
the encyclical said, particularly must
distinguish itself In this field. =

The encyclical appealed especially
to Catholic workers TO put aside

pleaded to all those who believe in
God TO resist the furious attacks
OF the goddess adding "even the
state would play its vital part in

The encyclican concluded with an
exhortation to all to turn their
thoughts OF st. Joseph's, powerful
protector OF the church, Giving
model of that Christian justice which
should reign over social life"

CHILD LABOR ACT

Hartford, Conn.,, March l8.--(UP)
"A, hostile reception awaited the
federal child labor amendment as
1t came before the general assembly
today with remote chance Of pass
ing.
The principal controversy was ex-
pected In the house, which will re-
ceive unfavorable reports on two
ratification proposals. Chairman
Raymond Z. Hall, r., Hartland, OF
the federal relations committee an
nounced he would move for their
adoption.
The house resolutions were tdenti-
cal to one to come before the senate
on favorable report.
The general assembly has refused
to ratify the amendment during the
past three sessions. An appeal to
Gov. Cross from President Roose-
welt to urge passage brought re-
ply that the government should not
resort to child labor regulation
through constitutional amendment
until all other means had been ex-
hausted.
Defeat Is Assured
Defeat In the republican controlled
house virtually was assured. It was
problematical what course the demo-
cratic controlled senate would fol-
low, confronted with the favorable
committee report and the "hands
off" attitude OF the governor.

The divorce can be annulled II the
interviewer proves there was collu-

mer king and Mrs. Simpson planned
to marry at the time the suit was
filed, the divorce can be rescinded.

Mrs. Simpson was granted de-
cree nisi at the Ipswich Assizes on
Oct. 81 by Mr.. Justice Sir Anthony
Hawke. In granting 1t, he showed
impotence with the proceedings.
He said shortly that well, I must

asked by Mrs. Simpsons counsel If
he was granting decree nisi with
costs. replied In a wearied tone:
