 But reports circulated about the city to the effect that Attorney Pat rick Healey. that Attorney Vincent A. Scully, that Attorney John L. Gaffney were strong Contenders.

BISHOPS OPPOSE
 NAZI POLICIES
Pastoral Letter Read in All Pulpits Sunday in Sup=
 port of Pope Plus

Berlin, Aug. 29-UP)-New fric. tion between the Catholic church and the Nazi regime arose today fol- lowing the reading of pastoral let ter from all Catholic pulpits yester- day from the German college of bishops.
 (At Castel Gandolfo, Italy, Satur- day, Pope Plus met group of Ger man, Italian and French pilgrims and deplored the strained relations with Germany, reiterating the be- lief that racialism is a question for the church to investigate.-Edo
 The strongly-worded letter com pleted recently after the bishops conference at Fulda, told German Catholics that fate is designed for us which is intended to be the beginning of the end"
 Allegiance To Pope
 The letter re-affirmed the ale glance of German bishops to the pope and attacked campaign car- ried on inside and outside Germany to destroy the faith by means of censorship, calumniation and indoc- trination of children.
 "The fight against Christianity has become more bitter and clearer" the letter said. This struggle has as its aim the halting and bleeding of the Catholic church-the destruction of the church among a peop,e uprocf- ing Christianity, and the introduc- tion of faith that has rothing tc do with the faith of God and here after
 Catholic citizens wonder whether they hold equal civil rights. Re- gently, German bishops removal from his diocese was demanded. Af- ter his return to his post an unpar- alleled and ugly tumult of violence was raised against him. German bishops must fear that they, too, will be subjected to such systematic measures in the immediate future. Even the personal honor of the holy father was injuriously treated. We German bishops will stand behind him the more truly and solidly the more he suffers in our behalf.

Charles J. Hughes Was Not Sure at Time on
 Recognizing Hines JUSTICE PECORA HAD
 ALSO QUERIED HIM District Att. Dewey Is in Fighting Mood Himself as Stryker Nails Hughes
BY JOSEPH l.. MYLER United Press Staff Correspondent

NoANVN@ Al Ns'o t1SesAA OVAA AS"'FOsa~NAASJ
 New York, Aug. 29-(UP) Counsel in the trial of Tammany Leader James J. Hines on lottery rack e charges clashed today over a witness'testimony that he had seen Hines and gangster Dutch Schultz together in a Bridgeport, Conn.,, hotel in 1885.
 The witness was Charles w. Hughes of Gardner, Mass, who at that time was assistant manager of the Barnum Hotel in Bridgeport.
 Ho said that he had seen Hines in the hotel twice, once with Schultz. But on cross examination he ad- mitted that he had seen him for only Q few seconds and that at first had not been certain of his identifi- cation and was reluctant to testify.
 District Attorney Thomas E. Dew ye ssas aroused to the fightingest pitch of the trial thus far as he sought through Hughes testimony to support his portrayal of Hines and Schultz as business associates in the lottery racket. Schultz was al- legged by previous witnesses to have paid Hines $500 a week to protect I, tirc-sacket by liking" judges and the police.
 Lloyd Paul Stryker, chief defense counsel, had Hughes tell at length of his several long conferences with Dewey's assistants and tried to break down his Identification of Hines.
 Justice Pecora Took Hand
 Justice Ferdinand Pecora took a hand in the questioning.
 You weren't sure you had seen Hines?" he asked.
 That's right" Hughes said
 Hughes said that later, however he became positive of his identifica- tion of Hines when he saw his pic ture and when he saw Hines in per- son in the court building after the trial began.
 Dewey flared up at the phrasing of some of Stryker's questions and snapped that T am getting tired" of Stryker's tactics. Pecora, scowling admonished them:
 Counsel on both sides will sedu- lously avoid making any comments to each other"
 Dewey continued to make com- ments that caused Stryker to leap to his feet and demand that the dis trict attorney stop insulting" him
 Hughes was one of 30 or more witnesses whom Dewey had lined up

46,OO0 AUTO MEN
 DROP CIO DUES

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 29.-(UP)-- Leaders of 46,0OO members of the United Automobile Workers urged their international executive board today to discontinue paying a monthly per capita assessment of five cents to John L. Lewis Con- mittee for Industrial Organization because, they charged, Lewis had attempted to destroy the autonomy Of their organization.
 The recommendation was con- tained in resolution adopted at a closed meeting by 345 delegates of 51 U. A. w. locals in Minnesota. Wis consin and Illinois. The delegates met as an advisory council and had no legislative or administrative powers.
 The resolution protested "unwar- ranted and unprecedented interfer- ence by Lewis" was interpreted as a blanket endorsement of Homer Mar tin, U. A. w. international president, who has been involved for several months in dispute with four in- ternational officers for control of the union.

FRENCH MASS ON
 SWISS FRONTIER
Hitler, Eight Generals Ar= rive on Rhine to Inspect
 New Defenses

United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris, Aug. 9.-(UP)-Fuehrer Adolf Hitler of Germany inspected the Rhine Qualifications opposite France today while a French army massed on the Swiss frontier for maneuvers, 115 miles to the south. It was another of series of CO., incidences that have lent drama to the fast brewing crisis of the Czecho- slovak minorities dispute.
 The French troops were massing 70 miles from the German frontier, at point where some experts had predicted that Germany, in the event of war, might seek to march on France through Switzerland. Their maneuvers start tomorrow. The troops were concentrated, in un- known strength, in the Doubs de- partment, in the plateau extending from Besancon to the Swiss frontier at the Fontaine Pass.
 German Caravan Arrives Suddenly, in a caravan of motor cars, Hitler and eight generals ar rived at Kehl, on the Rhine op- posite Strabourg, to inspect Ger many's reception.
 For an hour, Hitler and hs gen. erals inspected the defense works on which, it has been reported here hundreds of thousands of men many drafted from other parts of the country, are working. After the inspection, Hitler and the generals left in the direction of Offenburg to the south and parallel to the iron tier-and the bridge was reopened. Hitler left in the direction of the (Continued on Page 4)

Paris ham mered home to the Nazi leaders that she would fight if her Czechoslovak- ian ally is attacked. So did Soviet Russia. So did Jugoslavia and Ru- mania.
 Reminder of 1914
 In an electric atmosphere remin- iscent of 1914, the firm stand of the so-called Democratic powers was emphasized by series of deve- opments over the weekend that rang one danger signal after an- other. Probably at no time in the last generation had there been im- pressive indications of such a power ful and concerted international effort to ward off an explosion For the moment, at least, the Demo- cratic bloc that in effect links the British Empire, France, the Little GlllcllCc dllu fdSU oONlCb INuoold Woo busy and united.

 No did the United States escape the danger. Far fom the center of Europe's newest crisis, the U. s. Monocacy with 45 officers and men aboard was in peril on the Yangtze river near the Kiukiang sector of the China war. The little gunboat caught in a Japanese blockade and bluntly refused Japanese permission for normal activities, reported that seveal mines had exploded near it and that it had been severely

U. s. CUNBOAT IS
 IN CRAVE DANGER
Monocacy Held in Block= ade By Japs on Upper
 Yangtse River
BY ROBERT BELLAIRE limited Press Staff Correspondent

tUn1tc0 fTcSS OtdAA NViASSP"V
 Shanghai, Aug. 29-(UP)-The United States Gunboat Monocacy' with AS officers and men aboard, is in grave danger in the upper Yangtse river where it is held by a Japanese blockade, it was learned today.
 Information was received in Shanghai that several mines have exploded within 30 yards of the gunboat and that the first one ex- ploded 90 minutes after Japanese mine sweepers left the area.
 The ship has been badly shaken and has been sprayed-though without damage-by mine frag- ments. Gunners aboard the n1ono- cacy have tried vainly, it was un- derstood, to detonate mines which began to float dangerously near. At present, reports say, the little ship is encircled with pontoons designed to detonate mines.
 Commander Protests
 It was learned that a1ter the IlrSC explosions Lieut.. Comdr. Clarence V. Conlan, commanding the Mono- cacy, went ashore at once, protested to the Japanese and said that his government would hold the Jap- anese government responsible for any "mishap."
 The Japanese consulate ignored Conlan's protest, it was said, and warned him curtly that the Jap- anese navy would not accept any responsibility because the monocacy was in a dangerous zone.
 There was growing concern in diplomatic quarters here, because of the peculiar circumstances of the situation, lest another Panay incident occur.
 (The U. s. Gunboat Panay was sunk in the Yangtse above Man. king last December by Japanese airplanes. Japan accepted respon- sibility and paid indemnity.-edo

May Yohe, "Madcap' OfGayNineties, Dead

Boston, Aug. 29-UP)-To the humble back bay apartment Of g $1650-a-week WPA clerk today came scores of cablegrams and tel egrams of condolence from persons the world over who remembered hel as May Yohe, gay nineties madcar and once owner of the ill-omenec but coveted Hope diamond.

 Choicest Possession
 Near the deathbed of the 72-year- old woman who once likened her life to roller-coaster rested the choicest possession of her late years of obscurity. It was a photograph of bearded man rho had inscrib- ed it ito May, 1898," and signed it Edward" King Edward VII, who entertained May at dinner when he was Prince of Wales and she was the musical comedy favorite of London, Paris and New York, had given it to her.
 Then May was Lady Hope, bride of Lord Francis Hope, wearer of the 44-karat Hope diamond, viva ciously beautiful and uIlconvention- al, toasted in all the baroque pleas ure spots of two continents for her wit, charm and daring.
 Society Scandalized
 Soon afterward society was scan- dalized. Lady Hope eloped with the handsome, dashing Capt. Put nam Bradley Strong and in 10 years she threw away fortune in jewels in vain effort to hold his love.
 May married Capt. Strong in 1902, divorced him in 1910, and in 1914 married Capt. John A. Shuts.
 The tragedies of her swift-moving life were ascribed from time to time to the voodooed Hope diamond which she wore only twice, but the reckless. headlong spirit which won her the sobriquet 'Madcap May" could have accounted for them.
 She was 25 when she dropped her role of stage favorite to marry. in 1894, Lord Francis Hope, heir to the dukedom of Newcastle. This caused furor in the halls of Deepdene, an- cestral English home presided over traditionally by ladies born to title but was only a taste of the uproa' that May brought to British society with her escapades of the heart.
 Edward, then Prince of Wales and a portotype of the later Wales who forsook his crown as May was to forsake her title, called her "Maizic, Darling" in close friendship which dithered the gossips of Eng land and America.
 Seven years of marriage to Lore Francis ended with her scandalous elopment with Capt Strong, son of a former mayor of New York
