u. S. Pleased With
Pacelli as Plus XII
Continued From Page One)

(IOnIl0uGQ FROM PACE one
lection OF new pOntiff is rated as
having been SO conspicuous a
triumph of democratic principles
over totalitarianism.)
Of course, this is taking a perhaps
uniustifiably political view of an
event essentially of a religious ma
ture. It's the view that the State De-
partment does take, however. 1t takes
it very confidentially, to be sure. It
wouldn't do for Uncle Sans gov
ernment to express itself audibly
concerning political aspects of the
situation. 1t can be congratulatory in
general way, but it mustn't say in
so many words that it's rejoiced at
the outcome, politically, of the con-
claVe's vote in Cardinal Pacelli's
favor. That would be a direct affront
to the distator-ridden nations. In
deed, maybe Washington wouldn't t
object to affronting them; President
Roosevelt has come pretty close to
affronting them already. But to be
congratulatory upon openly political
grounds wouldn't be tactful toward
the Vatican, either.
Diplomatic Good Taste.
Diplomatic usage requires that the
United States and the other demo-
cratic peoples should pretend to re-
gard Pope Plus XII simply as a great
church's spiritual leader; not as a
mundane ally.
All the same, if the new Pope reads
the American newspapers, and Eng
lish and French journals, he can't
but understand that the democracies
do rate him as one Of their outstand-
ing sympathizers And it's we'll
known that he does read them. No
Pope ever has been SO Widely-tr travel
ed and internationally Well-acquaint-
ed as the present one.
The German press has not been as
restrained in its adverse comment
concerning the recent papal choice as
American comment has been mod

tionary power to make exemptions
and exceptions in particular cases.
The Senator Clyde Council asked
him if he thought farm labor ought
to be included Mr.. Adams had to
back off right away from his previous
assertion He does believe that farm
labor ought to be exempted. Senator
Council asked if farm workers
just as much entitled to the ''better
things of life" as were industrial
workers. Mr. Adams agreed that they
are, but thought the enforcement Of
the act with respect to farmers
would be impossible.
Another Council question was SO
pertinent that it seemed almost i'm
pertinent That was when the senator
asked if the CIO and AFL were
working together Mr.. Adams had to
squlrm just a little bit. Finally he
answered that the motives of all la
bor organizations were betterment Of
conditions, but that just now there
wasn't much cooperation between

to care much just what sort Of Op-

Perhaps he had heard Gregg

that's what he did.

space of time it will take you to read
it.
Later on, he did exactly the same
thing to an amendment by Ira

burned TO death last Thursday
night in his basement room at the
home OF c. +. Pollard. 1917 North

Police and fremen, called TO the
scene OF the fire. expressed the
opinion that the fifty seven-ycar-
old Day had become Ill while car
rying a lighted kerosene lamp and
fell to the floor, breaking the lamp
and spreading flaming oil over his
body. The entire upper portion Of
his body was burned.
While generally known TO many
IN Kalamazoo and immediate vicln-
ity as Walter Day. the victims
real name was Walter Williams.
Tried To Escape
There was evidence that the un-
fortunate man had made des-
perate effort TO escape from the
flaming oil. But his attempt was
frustrated when he became wedged
between the furnace and parti-
ton.
The tradegy was discovered by
Mr Pollard who saw smoke COM
ing from the basement while he
was placing his car IN the garage.
The fire department was called and
the nremen extinguished the blaze
before any serious damage was
done to tho furniture and parti-
tons
