the papal benediction because such
sad things are happenings, sad
things, very sad, both near to us
and far away"
Certainly among these sad
things he continued. rs that on
the feast day of the Holy Cross of
Christ. the banners of another
cross which certainly is not that of
Christ, should have been hoisted in
Rome.
This was out of place and time.
We tell you this SO that you may
understand how necessary it is to
pray, pray and pray for the mercy
Of the Almighty in all its largeness."
The Pope's remarks emphasized
the coolness between him and Hitler,
eliminated by the Pontiff's with
draWal to CaStel Gandolfo during
Hitler's visit to Rome and his dis
pleasure because Hitler did not re-
quest an audience, despite the urg-
ings of Premier Benito Mussolini.

public opinion TO Its VIII.
Payne asserted that "the only
effective answer to Sarnoff is the
long needed congressional inVes-
tigation" of the radio industry.
Speaking at the National Acad-
emy of Broadeasting here, he said
that chieftains of the radio in
dustry not only want freedom from
interference and government con-
troll, but complete power over the
FEC.
From the head of the company
that was responsible for the Mae
West broadcast, one might have
expected a milder note" Payne
said. There is not a word of
apology for the blood curdling pro-
grams that do harm to children,
nor for the character of the pro-
grams that have been described
in SO many places as moronic and
fit only for the intellect of a child
of twelve. Heretofore every at
tempt to reform radio broadcasting
or to loosen its control on the gov
ernmental regulatory body has been
fought in secret by the arrogant
lobby which Mr.. Sarnoff helps to
maintain in Washington"

PWA funds To
Speed Project

Grand Coulee dam will get approx
mately $10.O00,000 in PWA funds to
carry on the project during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1899.
Secretary Ickes told the Associated
Press in Washington today he will ap-
prove the use of PWA funds to aug
ment the money appropriated for the
dam by congress.
The secretary said he "sees 10
sense" in stopping work on the pro,
ject when current Congressional ap-
preparations are exhausted.
eff PWA has the authority, and we
are seeking to determine this at pres
ent, it will supply the needed funds
to keep the work going at Grand Cou-
lee until congress can again provide
funds,'' he said.
Congress provided $13,000,00O for
continuation of work during the fis
cal year beginning July 1. Engineers
said this would be exhausted long be-
fore the end of the year and very
likely would force temporary shut
down of construction work.
