A Modern Voticon Greets New Pope

THE mantle of centuries lay over A the Vatican in Rome when the late Plus xI was elevated to lead- ership over 400,000,000 Catholics in 1922. But a vastly different Vatican, superb blending of the ancient and the modern greets the new pontiff. For the first time in history the supreme head of the church will take command of a thoroughly modernized papal state.
 This Is because the late Plus effected that transformation, bringing it about gradually even to the day of his death. So the new pontiff will ride to his papal apartments in elevators, he will view the precious frescoes of Raphael and Michelangelo in new beauty under softly tinted electric tights, he will dispatch official calls by telephone and he will carry his messages direct to a waiting world by radio. No other Pope enjoyed these achievements of modern time upon taking office.
 But the late Plus was careful to preserve the ancient beauty of the Vatican while carrying out its modernization. The colorful Swiss guards, for instance, still parade, the same ageless ceremonies and trappings of the church are scru- pulously observed, the deathless beauty of St. Peters stands as striking as it was in the beginning.
 So the new Pope will come into. an extraordinary city, as modern as it's radio and telegraph, as an- cient as it's hallowed library hous- ing millions of musty manuscripts. An airplane view of Vatican City is shown above, one of two values issued by the papal state in 1883. Copyright. 1939. NEA Service. Incl

Then you'd better go to Fl Casino Tecolote," he suggested. Tt is a fiorid place. All the gam blers, thieves, beggers, adventur- CTS, and sldiers foregather there. Have you an escort?"
 T am alone" she answered.
 "Oh. Then don't go. assumed you had a husband or other male companion, of course. Fl Casino is no place for a young American woman, such as you"
 "Why?" Betty was intrigued now. Onevitably.
 Tt just isn't. It would be- dangerous"
 She thanked him and went on with her sketching. But she thought much, too, as her pencil moved deftly.
 Presently she got up and walked teh few blocks around on 18th de Septiembre shtreet to spot where she could see the Casino entrance. It was truly an interesting looking place, and even at the noon hour strange assembly of people seemed to be going in. Probably for lunch, since she could hear or- chestra music.
 One expensive looking automo- bile whirled up and a traffic po- liceman himself hastened over to open the sedan door. A man dressed and groomed meticulously in Spanish fashion alighted, spoke cordially to the policeman, and went into the building.
 eBtty Mary promptly closed her sketching pad and walked across to speak to the policeman.
 "Who was that-that handsome gentleman, in the car?" she asked, in Spanish.
 "He? Why senoritap the officer bowed. That was His Excellency, Don Luis Faustino Rodarte y Bar TO. A very fine man"

unless we get more information as to his movements. and do something to put a stop to him. See? He must be lured to our side of the line"
 "AlI right. But you, a girl, can't be risking-"
 "Oh, I can't? Are you my boss, you two?" She dimpled at the big men. Listen, your boss sent me out here to fire youi Maybe l will"
 "Awl But listen, Betty Mary"
 "No; you listen. I have already reserved 8 hotel room in Juarez. I shall carry a .22 rifle cartridge in my purse. tI has proven to be a badge of membership in Barro's band. It sounds fantastic, maybe, but luckily it's true. You couldn't possibly use that knowledge your selves, and you haven't had any luck hiring confidential helpers. I am unknown here yet. Maybe I can be of some real service. Anyhow I am going to try"
 They spent nearly three hours arguing and discussing the strategy further. When the two men per- ceived that she was determined, they helped her map out a detailed course to follow Hope and Sherry knew certain places in Juarez-res- taurants, cabarets, hotel Hobbies, theaters, gambling halls-where Luis Barro was known to visit. They also knew that he kept suite of rooms in the Montezuma Hotel, but that he had other residences, too.
 Betty Mary agreed just to move cautiously by limiting, when she thought the time was ripe, that she wanted help in smuggling some aliens into the United States Or limiting that she had certain in. Or just discreetly displaying her .22 cartridge where 1t mght get heri fin" with some of Barro's gang.
 The latter procedure, they felt would be safest. and most likely to produce results. But the two of- ficers didn't like any of it and told her so. They were almost surly about 1t when she emphati- cally insisted on her plan. And she discovered them following her taxi, in their official car, when she actually did start into Mexico at 10 p. m. She smiled to herself, wondering if they would try some way to shadow her even after she crossed the international bridge.
 The Montezuma Hotel was mo- where nearly as luxurious as the Paso del Norte, but it was comfort able, and picturesque. She did en- joy the attentive service there. And sh slept well that first night in Mex ico.
 At 9 the next morning she asked the clerk for tourist information, , then dutifully rode a taxi to see the public market, the old Marcel with it's bullet holes and its miser- able prisoners, the very old church, the streets with their sidewalk safes and fruit stands, the federal build ings.
 By noon she was sitting in the Juarez public plaza watching the pigeons and the myriad bootblacks and the loafers, and sketching a street scene on a large drawing pad. She paid 8 little tamale ped dler 1 peso - about 50 cents Amer jean money - to pose for her, ano made really god study of his bright, smiling, if dirty, face.
 An elderly American man, fel- low tourist, watched her for a few minutes, then struck up a conver- sation.

CHAPTER TX

sT know I suggested it," Betty Mary was saying into her telephone, sbut ! think the celebration will have to be changed, Hope. Because ! have new idea. Now listen - you and Sheridan come to my hotel at c o'clock, for dinner. I have al- ready ordered it. ... No, I won't go out with you two. I don't want to be seen with you yet. want to stay under cover. That's my new idea"
 The argument lasted another i've minutes, but in the end Messrs. Sheridan Star and Hope Kildare of the U. s. Border Patrol entered the Paso del Norte Hotel burdened with gifts.
 T feel like Santa Claus looks, 1" Sheridan admitted, behind his huge box of roses.
 You mean you look like Santa Claus feels," Hope grinned at his friend. Me, bring Mexican pra- lines and a purse hand-woven by Indians. Flowers wilt and die, hal"
 But Betty Mary was touched by all of the gifts. She almost forgot dinner in her prolonged enthusi- asm. Her eyes took on a misty locke when she thanked the boys seriously, and told them they were the bravest, finest gentlemen she had ever known.
 Even if it's not 50 1t sounds great, Btty Mary" Hope declared. T hope we can kep you fooled. Anyway I hope can. Sherry, he's just posing, really. He's just 8 dat-foot cop at heart. Me, I'm romantic, and handsome, and" { And garrulous, and lazy, and impressed by a senorita he met in Juarez, Betty Mary" big Sherry Interrupted. Hes not to be trusted
 T am! I am I'm not!" Hope was tangled now. T just said she was a prety girl, is all. Anyway, that was a month ago and"
 *eh-h-h-h, stop jabbering!" Betty Maxy commanded. "Escepially about another girl. I shall be jealous in Juarez, Officer Kildare, I shall call and insult her, so there! I'm go- going to Juarez myself"
 'Wf1at for? Let's go tonight. To cabaret, or theater. Hunh?"
 "No I'm serious. Sit down, boys, and let's talk business while din ner is coming up. Now, really am going into Mexico. this very night. I'm going under cover, too, I mean, shall go as Miss Jordan, but I cer- tainly won't know you. am going to be giddy tourist asking ques- tions and sketching pictures. I have studied art little. I have 8 plan"
 "Yeah? What sort of plan?" Hope smirked, knowingly.
 I'm going to get more infor- nation on MT. Luis Barro."
 sNo!"
 'sYes."
 "Now listen here, betty Mary, you"
 You listen yourself. Both of you. Those prisoners you took ad- mitted they were Barros GUS toners, didn't they? Barro sent them over, you said. Just as learned, in advance. We'll, we still didn't capture Barro, and trouble with him may keep on indefinitely

The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-02-08

On the stand since last wednes- day, Levy showed first signs of strain yesterday, as he went through his third day of grilling by Defense Attorney McDonough. Admitted lies, which have predominated his testimony from the start, in com parlson to grand jury statements, again took the highlights.
 Tn direct contrast to his previous testimony, Levy claimed yesterday that at no time had he discussed his grand jury testimony with County Detective Hickey. He also alleged, another contradiction, that he did not split any of his fees with any, one, in his grand jury testimony.
 He admitted, internationally that he had lied before the grand jury, but efforts te shake him from the story he told as a state witness last Wednesday were in vain. Levy ad- mitted that as Q grand jury wit- ness March 22 and g he lied con- sistently, but insists that the story he told March go was the absolute truth.
 Newsmen who covered the grand jury probe recalled that March go, the jury sat well Into the night, and that Levy's mother Jaw and wife were brought to the courthouse as witnesses well after 9 p. m.
 Although Attorney McDonough compared testimony given yester- day by Levy, with that given by him on e previous occasion, con- cerning his talks" with Detective Hickey, the confessed -conspirator refused to admit that he contradict ed himself on that score. It was his claim that he had not understood the question.
 Levy said yesterday that he had not filed any income tax returns for the money he received from Wa terbury. He admitted that last January he had paid tax on his income from 1890 to 1888.
 Pond Approached
 It was revealed from the tes- timony of Levy before the grand jury, that Attorney Philip Pond of New Haven, former president of the New Haven Bar association, had been requested by Chief Justice William M. Maltbie to handle the Waterbury situation" Pond de- clined the special prosecutorship because of his age, health and other considerations, according to Levy, The accused has sought Pond for legal advice in the early stages of the municipal investigation.
 He Is now represented by Attor- ney William L. Hadden, and 1t was Hadden who conveyed to Special Prosecutor Alcorn the message, after the March 23 session of the grand jury, that Levy wanted to change his story,
 Yesterdays proceedings came very close to being drab, as Attor- noy McDonough read for houra from tho transcript of Levy's tes- timony before the jury. Near the close of the day he had started to read Levy,s statements which were made the third day-the day he allegediy told the grand jury the real story.
