COUCHLIN LAYS
BLAME ON JEWS
FOR RED CHARGE
Says They Invite Attack
By Own Attitude

DETROIT, Nov. 20 d.N.S).
The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin to-
day had answered, in refutation,
charges that his last Sunday radio
speech was pro-Nazi, anti-Semitic
and un-American.
He took up the major portion
of his radio time yesterday by
playing a transcription Of the
broadcast to let his radio audience
Judge for itself truth Of the
charges.
WMCA EXPLAINS
The broadcast was not carried
over radio stations WMCA, New
York: WIND, Gary, Ind, or
VIVID, Chicago. WMCA officials
said Father Coughlin had not full
filled their request for an advance

which the approaching inter.
American conference at Lima will
redefine.
Such a policy, they pointed out,
conforms with the frequently
manifested urge Of Congress to
write into Army appropriations
and war profits bills provisions
forbidding the engagement Of
American troops in wars on
foreign soil.
Woodring declared, however, the
garrisons in the Philippines, Ha-
wall, Alaska, Puerto Rico and the
Canal Zone are "components OF
the initial protective force" thus
indicating the war planners con-
template yielding not an inch OF
territorial soil If war comes.

Presidents Statement
Expected Tomorrow
BY GEORGE DURNO

WARM SPRINGS, Ca, Nov. %
1N.S.D. President RooSevelt's
discussions concerning future re-
lationships with nations now en-
gagged in active persecution OF
racial and religious minorities
continued today at Warm Springs.
Four hours of conference last
night with Hugh Wilson, Amer
lean ambassador to Germany, and
William Phillips, American am
bassador to Italy, failed to suffice.
The two ENJOYS remained over
night and were listed for another
session today at the Little White
House"
NEW MOVE IN MIND
There were indications the Pres
ident had in mind some new move
which would more positively let
the other world democracies know
that the Washington Adminlstra-
ton thoroughly diSapproved cur
rent efforts to stamp out jewish,
Catholic and Protestant mlnorltles
by any totalitarian regime.
Ambassadors Wilson and Phil
lips were closeted with Mr.. RooSe-
welt until nearly midnight. When
they finally emerged through
gates guarded by Secret Service
men, Marines and deputy sheriffS,
they had nothing to say other
than that their conversations had
been most pleasant and that there
would be further consultation
and report" at luncheon today.
STATEMENT TOMORROW
There was evidence that no posi-
tive statement concerning the con-
ference would be forthcoming I'm
til the Presidents press conference
tomorrow. Obviously, Wilson and
Phillips had received a suggestion
from thier Chief Executive that
nothing be said to the press at the
moment.
The only inkling Of Mr.. Roose-
velt's position came from a high
source who stressed the fact that
American concern was not felt
alone for the Jews abroad. Catho-
lie, Lutheran and other minorities
were being subjected to maltreat-
ment to a degree which aroused
public sentiment in this country,
it was said.
JESSE JONES VISITOR
So far, however, observers were
unanimous in the opinion that the
Jews were being pushed the hard
est in Nazi Germany, and to a
lesser degree in Fascist Italy.
Following close on the departure
Of Federal Reserve Governor Mar.
riner S. Eccles, RFC Chairman
Jesse Jones motored up to the
Little White House" today for
a conference. It appeared that
the president was delving deeply
into domestic fiscal and monetary
problems as well as international
complications.

Complete Rest Urged

DR.. Amlnta M1lan1, the Pontltt' S
personal physician, renewed his in
sistence that complete rest was
necessary, but his holiness appar'
emily chung to his determination
to resume as much activity as pos
Sible.
Early in the day, the Pope or
dered that his motor car be made
ready to take him for a drive
through the Vatican gardens at
noon, but later he found himself
too weak to undergo the strain.
and the ride was cancelled.
The condition Of the Pontiff
was reported today to be "as well
as can be expected" Officials at
the Holy See said His Holiness had
a good chance of avoiding another
attack, providing that he re-
nounces all work for two weeks.
At the same time, however, they
did not disguise their fear that a
repetition Of the cardic-asthmat1c
attack, suffered by the Pope last
week, might cost his life.
Returns to Routine
Only three days after he had
received extreme JUNCTION as he
lay dangerously i'll Of cardiac
asthma, the Holy Father ignored
the pleadings of his physicians
and court and returned to his
workaday routine.
Alarming and astonishing his at
tendants, the Pope yesterday com
manded 10 prelateS to appear for
successive private conferences In
the morning.
Then, without stopping for food
or rest, he made a moving 10
minute speech to 100-awS- struck
pilgrims from Hungary who only
a few hours before had been fear
fully watching the newspapers,
dreading news that the Pope was
dead.
The only American privileged to
participate in the special audience
for the Hungarians, I watched the
Pope with several prelates Of the
Hungarian hierarchy in the sa-
cred consistorial hall only few
feet from the frail figure on the
throne of st. Peter.
Pope Plus insisted on receiving
the Hungarians because they
have come a long way, and 1t Is
only just that they see their
father"
From where was stationed the
ravages Of illness and Of age were
clearly and painfully evident on
the face Of His Holiness. His face
was thin and appeared longer
than usual. His wrists had be
come thin, and appeared puny be
meath the loose sleeves of his robe
Yet the Pope radiated intense
inner energy, and his eyes had
lost the dull, tired look they hac
held since his grave illness of two
years ago.
The clarity Of his mind, and his
continuing interest in Contra,
European affairs was shown II
what was taken as a reference tt
the cabinet crisis in Hungary.
1--WE desire that our benedic-
ton reach those who are work
ing for a just and benevolent
regime in your country" he said.

eminent of your nation, this is

CAsTTL GANDOLFO, Sept. %
Pope Plus XII asked the world today
to-have recourse to the unarmed but
invincible power of prayer" to avert
"the imminent danger of war"
The Pope broadcast his message
over vast radio hook-up.
1t was in the form Of q pastoral
letter addressed to the bishops, clergy
and faithful, and read to them by the
holy father. .s.... ~... ,
The Pope spoke under the shadow
OF the meeting at Munich, where the
heads of Western Europe's four most
powerful governments were meeting to
find peaceful solution Of Germany's
demands on Czechoslovakia.
The Pope said:
while millions of men live in dread
because Of the imminent danger OF
war and because of the threat of un-
exampled slaughter and ruin, we
father into our paternal heart the
trepidation of our children and we in
Ute the bishops, clergy. the religious
and the faithful to unite themselves
with US in the most undaunted and
msistent prayer for the preservation
in justice and in charity Of the peace.
Destfnes Of World.
ITO this unarmed but invincible
power Of prayer let people have re-
course once yet again so that God, in
whose hands rest the destinies Of the
world, may sustain in those who gov
ern confidence in the pacific ways Of
faithful negotiations and Of lasting
agreement, and that he may inspire in
all sentiments and action correspond
ing to the reiterated words of peace
which will be suited to foster peace
and to establish 1t on the secure basis
Of law and Of the gospel teaching.
Grateful beyond words for the
prayers which have been and are be-
ing poured ont for us by the faithful
Of the whole Catholic world, with all
our heart We offer for the salvation
and for the peace Of the world this
life which In virtue Of those prayers
the Lord has spared and even re-
newed.
"Let the Lord Of life and death, If He
wills, take from US the inesttmable gift
Of an already long life, or. If He 80
wills, let Him prolong still further the
laborious days of this amicted and
worried toiler.
Assured Il Acceptance.
"Our otter Is all the more assured
Of gracious acceptance because 1t Is
