1QWAI0 MOOAASy O4' ASVAOAv of the late Cardinal Hayes.
 Selection of the new Prince of the Church rests solely with the Pope and 1t is admitted no one knows whom he will elevate. But 1t is claimed that all indications point to Archbishop Mooney as the logical ruler of the temporal and spiritual affairs of the wealthiest archdiocese in the world.
 If the Holy See does bestow the red hat on him 1t will SO to one of the youngest and most liberal heads of the Church In the United States.
 Born in Maryland 66 years ago, Archbishop Mooney received his Ph. D. degree at the North Ameri- can College in Rome and was or- dained a priest in 1909. He taught as e professor for Q number of years in Catholic colleges in this country and abroad and was made an Archbishop in 1926.
 That same year he was sent as Apostolic Delegate to India and on a similar mission to Japan five years later. In 1883 he became Archbishop of Rochester, N. r., and remained there until trans ferred to the Detroit diocese in 1887.
 There he quietly put dam- Der on the radio fulmlna tl0ns of Father C0ughlin and in other ways curbed his political activi- ties.
 Both in Rochester and Detroit, Archbishop Mooney has displayed deep interest in union labor and has many friends among the lead- CTS of both the A. ?. of L. and c. I. o. He has also evinced consid- erable friendliness toward the New Deal. During the government rec organization bill fight last winter he publicly endorsed the bitterly contested legislation.
 His advanced social and econ- omlc views are further shown by his chalrmanshlp of the Ma tional Catholic Welfare Confer ence, which Is noted for It's liberalism.
 Funny Money
 A member of the Senate Cam paign Fund Investigating Com mittee-who asked that his name be withheld--offered this suges- ton regarding the "$30 every Thursday" pension scheme that California will ballot on this No- Vember:
 That at the bottom of the "funny money" to be Issued under the plan, there be printed in large type these words, q know that my Redeemer liveth."
 Unusual Visitor
 During Secretary Henry Wal lace's recent Canadian trip, local newsmen had @ hard time locat. ing him because of his modesty.
 A group of Canadian reporters boarded Wallace's train at St. Johns, Quebec. But search as they would they were unable to find him. They asked the con- ductor, but he had never heard of Wallace.
 Then they said. "Where Is the special car for the U. S. Secre- tary of AgricuIture?" The con. ductor replied there was no special car on his train.
 Tn their search the newsmen repeatedly passed Wallace's Pull man berth but 1t never occurred to them to look for him in such humble quarters.
 Finally e U. s. newsman, ver- mont Royster of the Wall Street Journal, had pity on his Can- adian colleagues and told them where Wallace was.
 This was one surprise. But they had another when Wallace gave them e personal interview. The Canadian reporters had expected Q cabinet officer would talk only through m intermediary.
