sion, which today Is doing SO much for
the protection of the purchasing public
in the buying of securities, is the out
growth of a department set up in the
Federal Trade Commission, under the
direction and management of Charles
March. Today, the NJ R. A. is dead
bird, but the public for long time will
have cause to be grateful for Col. Marchs
work in laying the foundation for the

His belief in the democratic competi-

utterances: II may state this principle
again as that of equal opportunity for
all who are fitted to improve their posi-
ton by reason of their energy and in
itiative. I do not mean that it was in
tended to protect the lazy and the incom-
petent, but I do mean that individual
effort-the effort of every man to use
his brain and his energies to the full
and to reap fair reward from this use
should be preserved if there is still to
be anything distinctive about our ma
tional character-anything which we
may still point to as truly American"
When next June the Republican forces
gather in convention to select a nominee
the character and personality of Charles
H. March will force his name to the fore
as a candidate having the necessary
qualifications to meet the perplexing
problems Of these turbulent times.

did not expect any new crisis in their struggle with the church to develop from his election. They doubted a middle of the road' policy ever would be found in Nazi relations with the Vatican, and they believe that eventually some solution in their favor must be reached, but they were not inclined for the mo- ment to do anything to further an- tagonize the millions who are still simultaneously good Catholics and good Nazis. This is an important consideration in view of the large Increase in Catholic population re- Sulting from the annexation of Aus tria and Sudentenland.
 7 Papers Discriminate ..
 Morning wspapers confined themselves to brief summaries of Cardinal Pacelli's ecclesiastical ca reer. The Voelkischer Beobachter relegated the story of the new pope to thes space beneath the story of the execution of bandit. Two other newspapers displayd it beneath stories of bomb explosions in Great Britain and an article about Brit aims gruesome war in Palestine"
 The Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, the Lokalanzeiger and the Voelkis- cher all pointed out the unusualness of the election or a papal secretary of state and the speed of the elec- tion.
 The German clergy was surprised almost to the point of incredulity by news of Cardinal Pacellis election. They regarded it as tantamont to a declaration of war against Naziism by the College of Cardinals and the fact that Cardinal Pacelli took the name Plus XII, after his predecessor to whom the Nazis objected, was re- garded as an added rebuff.

A A continuation of the conflict be- tween the church and the dictator ships was forecast by Jugoslav dip- 1omats as result of the election. = In Hungary. Cardinal PaceIli's se- lection caused general rejoicing He visited Budapest as papal delegate to the Eucharistic Congress last May and was greatly admired. ,s Rumanians interpreted his elec- dion as direct challenge to the Fascist governments. Diplomats there expected him to renew his prede- cessor's fight for the equality of faces. Newspapers stressed that Car ,dinal Pacelli's election had been ex- pected.
 Polish Papers in Praise \ Polish newspapers were unanimous In praise of his selection. It was in- teypreted in Warsaw as revealing an anti-totalitarian attitude of the Col 1ege of Cardinals.
 ' Bishop Theodor Suhr of Denmark said: ITO me, personally, he is the ideal Pope" Scandinavians general ly were pleased by the selection. { Ireland's joy was almost bound- 1es3.

 a In Paris, Le Journal summed the sentiment as follows:
 'Never has a pontifical election had clearer political sense. The Rome Berlin press campaign has only precipitated an affirmation by the church to continue the policies of Plus XI."

.l32 MEN STILL
 ON BOARD SHIP

St. Johns, Newfoundland, March 3-CUP)-Heavy seas, lashed by a westerly gale, delayed the rescue today of l32 men still aboard the leaking Sealer Ranger.
 The little vessel-550 tons of water-logged wood - had been lowed almost within sight of land by the British freighter, Newfound- land, before hawser snapped and left 1t drifting helplessly in seas too rough to permit the launching of lifeboats from the rescue ship.
 Capt. John Badcock, master of the 161-foot, 68-year-old Sealer, and all but of IS of his crew remained aboard, bailing out desperately with buckets and galley opts to keep the sealer afloat.
 The Newfoundland, which man. aged to take off few of the crew yesterday morning, and the s. s. Imogen stood by while all hands waited for the weather to moderate so that another hawser could be put aboard the Ranger.

Horrigan, in plainclothes, was sent to the basement Chinese laundry of Sing Hing in the South End as part of a police campaign to curb the outbreak of holdups. OLeary and D'Amico were leaving as he en- tered the shop. Glimpsing OLeary's brown coat, described by victims of previous holdups, Horrigan ordered them to halt.
 Instead the bandits fled, Horrigan in pursuit. When the officer fired over their heads, OLeary pulled out a nickel-plated revolver and aimed at him. Horrigan fired three more shots, these directly at OLeary. As OLeary stumbled and fell, D'Ambico ran on, only to enter blind alley. Then he surrendered.
 Taken to police headquarters, D'Amico confessed that he and OLeary had stolen $500 in 30 Chinese laundry holdups in oBston, Maiden, Someryille and Quincy dur ing the past week. iNne of the hold ups took place yesterday and last last night, he said.

 The cardinal was wearing his red cassock, which he donned to attend the third and final act of homage of the cardinals in the Sistine cha pei this morning.
 Cardinal O'Connell told the Unit ed Press that he felt better than he had for some time. He was eX- ceedingIy fatigued by his journey to Vatican City. This morning he awoke at 7:30, he said.
