son for existence, he said.
Catholic Action is the lay organi-
zation of the church which has worked
side by side with the clergy in pro-
noting Catholic doctrine.
In 1881 controversy between the
church and the Fascist regime, over
what Fascists termed Catholic Action
interference in politics, threatened to
disrupt the reconciliation between
church and state accomplished by
the Lateran treaties in 1929.
The Lateran treaties closed the
breach which had existed from 1871
after Italian troops occupied Rome and
the city was made the capital of q
United Italy.
When the conflict was at its height
Fascists were raiding Catholic Action
headquarters almost daily, destroying
furnishings and even throwing por-
traits Of the Pope into the street.
The conflict impelled the Pope to
issue the most outspoken encyclical
Of his pontificate.
Vigorous Encyclical Issued.
The encyclical, called Non Abbiamc
Bisogno" owe Have No Need"), was
dated June 20, 1881.
Its tone was 50 vigorous that it
could not be distributed Immediately in
Italy. but was smuggled across the
border by Msgr. Francis Spellman, now
Auxiliary Bishop Of Boston, and given
to the world press In Paris on July
4, 1881.
The controversy was terminated by
an agreement September 2, 1881, be-
tween the regime and the Holy See
defining Catholic action and restrict
Ing it to purely religious endeavors.
The dispute fiared up again at the
time OF the visit Of Chancellor Adolf
Hitler OF Germany to Italy May $40.

More in Taxes.
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.,

The Senate may act today on the

the Appropriations Committee late
yesterday by Senator Thomas, Demo-
crat, of Oklahoma, with its total raised
to S48,156,3 1913, an increase of s3,0O0,-

Although substantial part of the
increase is for construction work out
of the separate highway and water
funds, where ample money is avail
able to pay for the added items. other
changes bring the clty's general fund
deficit, requiring new taxation. up to
at least $4c00.000 Some District Off
cials believe the deficit should be
figured at between S4.700,O0O and
S5,OOO,000 on the theory that the busi-
ness privilege tax will not produce the
expected yield for the current year.
When it passed the House a month
ago, the bill totaled $45,075,122, and
left the tax deficit at about S2,000.0O0
After the Senate has passed the bill
the Senate changes will be subject to
further revision in conference where
it is expected the total Senate in
