Dionne Vetoes Plan to Exhibit

Martin Held Favored
Over Wadsworth as
6. 0.P. House Leader
New Yorker Believed Too
Conservative for
Party Comeback
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Republican circles in the Capital,
stirred by the announcement that
Representative Wadsworth of New
York was to be a candidate for the
minority leadership of the House in
the new Congress, last night were
placing their bets on Representative
Martin of Massachusetts, for the job.
Barring Mr.. Martins election as
Republican leader, opinion was that
the leadership would go to the Mid
die West.
Representative Wadsworth is
highly regarded. His ability. both
as legislator and speaker, is admit
ted generally. But what the Repub-
leans fear is that his choice as
House leader would be to place a
conservative stamp on the minority
party at the start of the coming
Congress. Mr.. Wadsworth, it was
pointed out by some, has had an
ultra-conservative record ever since
he entered Congress as Senator from
New York in 1915. He was, they
cited, one of the organizers of the
American Liberty League and was
a vice president of that organiza-
ton at one time.
The decision Of Representative
Wadsworth and some of his New
York colleagues to make race for
the Republican leadership indicates,
1t is said. that the more conservative
wing of the party has by no means
given up the ghost. The conserva-
tives, in putting forward the New
Yorker, have picked their very best
bet. There seems no doubt of that
whatever.
The leadership has been held by
Representative Smell, also of New

Christmas Campaign Need
Is Outlined by Experts
No One on Relief Has Penny Left Over
To Buy Cundy,' Declares Miss Hill

Will there be any hunger in Wash
ington this Christmas?
Those in a position to know say
yes, although the starving will be
cared for by public relief, w. P. A..
assistance and the Community
Chest.
The real hunger will be that of q
child for toy, that of a father for
a holiday meal to spread before his
family, or that of a mother for the
small gifts which poverty stops her
from distributing among her loved
ones.
A Christmas campaign against
this particular type of hunger has
been launched by The Evening Star,
the Warner Bros. Theaters and the
National Broadcasting Co. Will an
outpouring of toys, food and other
gifts, you may ask, fill real COM
munity need this year?

VATICAN CITY, Nov. 26.-Vatican
sources said tonight that Pope Plus
XII was seized with a slight chill
about s pm. I'll am. E. s. IT, after
he had left his sick bed to carry on
his official duties. The chill lasted
only a few minutes.
The Pope had been helped from
bed and had sat up part of the day
despite the heart attack from which
he collapsed yesterday morning. He
had been warned that his weakened
heart might not survive another
such attack.
The supreme head of the Catholic
church, 81 years old last May 81,
gave proof of his extraordinary forth
tude by holding one-hour con-
ference with Eugenio Cardinal Pa
cell, papal secretary of state.
Matches Will Against Doctors.
Most of the day the Pope matched
his will against that of his chief
physician, DR.. Aminta Milani, head
of the Vatican States sanitary de-
partment.
DR.. Milani said his patient ex-
pressed for tomorrow the firm desire
to receive Cardinal Pacelli. Msgr.
Filippo Soccorsi, director of the Vat
lean radio station, and Camille Sera-
f1ni, Governor of Vatican City. re-
ceptions which have been part of
the Pope's Sunday routine.
The physician was as firm as the
Pope in his objections. He said he
would not permit his holiness to
receive even members of his family,
let alone any other visitors.
A source close to the pontiff said
his holiness hoped to attend mass
tomorrow in his private chapel and
also intended not only to hold the
customary official conferences, but
to receive delegation of Hungarian
pilgrims.
This informant said early this eve
ming that the holy father could not
hope to be better"
DR.. Milani permitted his patient
to drink small cup of diluted coffee
this afternoon after the Pope took
some broth and slipped little cham
payne. The physician was seen
leaving the papal apartment in late
afternoon for a brief stroll. He in
tended to spend another night near
the pontiff.
DR.. Milani supervises medical care
of Vatican employees at a four-room
clinic pharmacy first-aid station,
but when the Pope is i'll he devotes
all his time to the supreme head
OF the church. DR.. Milani is 81, tall
and distinguished. His hair and
moustache are iron gray.

Police Capture Man

Bullet Tests Seem
To Eliminate Him
As q Suspect

A light-skinned colored man seized
by police last night after a gun
battle was apparently eliminated as
a suspect in the Today hunt for the
mysterious park sniper when bal
istic tests proved that bullets which
killed two persons in Rock Creek
Park were not fired from an auto
matte pistol taken from him.
Inspector B. w. Thompson, chief
of detectives, made the announce
ment at l am. after receiving a
report from 1t. John Fowler, who
tested the pistol.
Inspector Thompson said charge
of assault with intent to kill would
probably be placed against the man
John D. Kanada, %, unemployed
laborer.
Quarrels With Woman.
Kanada was subdued by Patrol
men Donald B. Plant of No. 4 pre-
cinct and H. o. Tut of No. pre-
cinct after furious struggle during
which he fired at the officers while
they beat him and sought to wrench
the short automatic from his grasp
Kanada, police were told, got into
quarrel with woman friend,
Dolly Banks, colored, 10, of 321 C
street S.W., while in an upstairs
bedroom at 1926 C street S.W., di-
rectly across the street from the
home of colored man supposedly
slain by the sniper. The Banks
woman said Kanada was Jealous"
He fired a shot through the floor
into the room below. His landlord,
Jehn Portee, colored, a w. P. A..
worker, called police.
Meanwhile, Kanada ran down the
steps and began to spray bullets
into the ceiling, walls and floor.
Portee's wife Anna was in the room
at the time. She said Kanada had
been drinking heavily during the
day. Kanada then ran outside the
house and fired a shot through a
window at the rear.
He had disappeared when Police
men H. M. Jewell and Norman
Gray arrived in scout car from No.
4 precinct.
Fires at Close Range.
A few minutes later Officers Plant
and Tuft heard a shout that man
with a gun was threatening persons
in the street. Pvt. Tuft was off
duty at the time and had stopped
on the corner to chat with Pvt.
Plant, a former partner.
The officers saw Kanada waving
a gun as he stood on the sidewalk
in front of 209 Fourth street S.W.
AS they started toward him, Kanada
fired two shots at them at close
range. Pvt. Plant grabbed the mans
gun hand and twisted it back as
he struck with his night stick.
The other policeman closed in and
the three men went down together.
Kanada, the officers said, kept shoot
ing as they fought on the ground.
Pvt. Tuft got a thumb into the mans
eye and tried to twist his head back
to spoil his aim.
The fight was over, Pvt. Plant
said, when he wedged thumb into
the firing chamber of the auto
matte.
Meanwhile, passers-by had called
the precinct and reinforcements ar
rived in charge of 1t. w. M. Cum
