 In setting forth what he pre- stunned to represent as the Protest ant attitude toward Our Lady, Dr. Gregg used such phrases as we shall be inclined to believe and i've are glad to imagine" and i've can easily believe" Catholic doc Urine, that on Mary included, rests on no such f1imsy foundation of arbitrary fancy. It is built on a solid foundation of plain scriptur- al teaching and historically unas- sailable tradition. It is clear and unequivocal, plain for the sincere truth-seeker to see, though not beyond misrepresentation by the culpably ignorant.
 The Catholic attitude toward Mary is, said Dr. Gregg, strange, fantastic, offensive, foolish, and spiritually dangerous" But the reverend gentleman knows mo- thing about the Catholic doctrine on Mary. Or at least he said no- thing about it in his blast of Sum- day last. He should rather have

"A 7rauesty Of Truth ''
Dr. James Mothers Mary Comment From Catholic Mother of
 "Fantasticaly Stupid"

In the current issue of the Cath olic Transcript appears an editor ial that is an answer to a sermon preached last Sunday, Mothers Day, by Rev. Dr. James E. Gregg, pastor of the First Congregation al Church. Dr. Gregg in his re- marks commented on the Catholic Church's views on Mary, the Mother of God.
 Within; "A hours after the pub- lication of excerpts of the sermon, Rev. M. F. Heating, pastor of SS. Peter & Paul Church, in a state ment to the press characterized Dr. Gregg's remarks as being a direct insult to thousands of Wa terbury Catholics and among other statements wrote, "Mr. Gregg either you are an ignorant man or aE insincere preacher of the gospel" The Transcripts edi- toriaI comment follows:
 A TRAVESTY OF TRUTH
 Last Sunday, Mothers Day, was the occasion for uncounted trib- utes to Mary the Mother of God. It was also the occasion for at least one fantastically stupid at- tack on what Waterbury minis ter knowingly or unknowingly misrepresented as the Catholic doctrine on Our Blessed Mother. On that day Dr. James E. Gregg, according to the Waterbury Re- publican, informed his congrega- tion that "Protestants revere Mary as human mother of superior at tainments, rather than as a divine figure in her own right. Though making wry face at the windy emptiness of superior attain ments," we say at once that Cath olics are in complete agreement with this example of the Protes- testant theology preached in the Naugatuck Valley. Mary, says Catholic teaching, is only human, though the immaculate Mother of a Divine Person.
 There is no direct evidence" Dr. Gregg went on,, that Mary was worshipped as a divine figure during the first four centuries of the Christian Church" There is no direct or indirect evidence, honest ly come by and not fabricated that Mary has ever been worshipped as divine figure in any age or in any church. Least of all in the Catholic church, despite the con- trary allegations of any publicity seeking divine. With full respect for the piety and sincerity of our Roman Catholic friends" con- tinued Dr. Gregg patronizingly as

Never Found A Medicine To Equal 'VendoP For Dizziness

Waterbury Lady Gives It All Credit

 stipation.
 sI have not been well for quite a while and have taken different medicines, but I've never had any to help as much as vendol," said Miss Mary O'Shea of 8 Kenyon St., Waterbury. She was speaking about the Root, Herb and Alkaline medicine which was introduced here not long ago, and which has done so much good for many local people.
 T was a victim of constipation and had to take some strong physic nearly every night, and this caused all my troubles. I felt bilious and little black specks would float be- fore my eyes. I would feel so dizzy and light-headed at times that I would have to quit my work and ct or lie down for a while. My tongue had furry coating. there was bitter taste in my mouth, and my complexion looked dull and sale low.

FOREST WARDENS
 HOPE FOR RAIN

Boston, May 19-UP)-Forest wardens hoped today for rain to stem the growing fire menace in New England's hurricane-tangled woodlands.
 The danger spot had shifted to Maine, where fires were burning in two widely-separated sections. at Millinocket and Alfred. Volunteers Strove to control the flames before they reached camps and houses.
 At Alfred, flames were threaten ing CarSp Rotherwood, boys camp, Dame Institute, a former Shaker property now operated by the Broth- CTS of Christian Instruction, and several summer cottages.
 In the Millinocket area, several square. miles of woodland were de- stroyed. Though forest fires were

| cated that Dies appeared confused in describing them. He said the con- fusion would be cleared up by the transcript of the testimony, which will be made public when it can be prepared.
 "The testimony about the plot to overthrow the government is wholly unsupported and contains fantastic information" Dies said. Speaking of the predictions in the reports" he continued:
 This is one of the most clever and dangerous methods of propaganda that could possibly be devised, be- cause in predicting some vents that came true the reports gave credi- bility to all the statements that followed.
 Some of Predictions
 Some of the predictions were:
 That a French army mission was visiting the country to buy Ameri- can planes - a statement made 12 days before the plane crash on the Pacific coast which revealed this fact.
 That James Roosevelt, the Presi- dents son, was to make trip abroad 10 days before he left.
 That the fleet would be ordered back to the Pacific coast.
 That of four felons sentenced to the chair in New York, two would receive communications to life im- prisonment.
 These were some of the events later confirmed in the newspapers which were offered as evidence of vast conspiracy aimed at the govern ment.
 Reports Sent Select 40
 The reports Campbell sent to his select 40 were based on Gilbert's information. Campbell, Dies said, had no knowledge of the identity of Gilbert's informant. Campbell's correspondence showed that he asked - and received = from John D. M. Hamilton the names of Re- publican National Committeeman an and Women for his mailing list. He denied, Dies said, that he sent the confidential reports to the Republi cans, but he said he sent them copies of Moseley's speeches.
 Homilton said: T have no recol- lection of ever having heard of MT. Campbell"
 Another correspondent of Camp bells was Felix McWhirter, Indian apolis, retired lieutenant com mander in the naval reserve and president of the peoples State Bank, largest independent bank in Indiana. McWhirter inquired of Campbell whether Mrs. Cordell Hull, wife of the Secretary of State, former Gov- ernor Ali M. Landon, and William Allen White, Kansas editor, had Jewish blood.

GILBERT SCORES DIES

Washington, May 19-CUP)-Dud. ley Pierpont Gilbert, New York mil. lionaire, charged Chairman Martin Dies, D., Tex, of the house com mittee on unAmerican activities with misrepresenting the testimony of witnesses. He accused the con- mittee of using star chamber pro- ceedings."
 Dies announced last night that testimony at secret hearing ha1 shown that Gilbert financed cam. paign to protect the United State! against an alleged plot to overthrow the government.
 T was told to keep my mouth shut" Gilbert told reporters at his hotel today. But MT. Dies has giver statement which misrepresentec the testimony of James Erwir Campbell and his relations witt Maj. Gen. George Van Horn Nose ley"
 Attacks Witnesses
 He charged that the committee instead of Investigating the infor. nation which the Gilbert group ha. given, turned their attack upon tht witnesses.
 His Dies) reaction appears to bt that instead of looking into these things, he has discovered a plo against some racial minority. Int fact that these things are true doesn't seem to interest him."
 Gilbert contended that his grour had advance information on the re. turn of the navy fleet to Pacific waters, removal of army officers ovel 40 years of age, United States ait to a French mission seeking to buy military airplanes, and the sale ot Argentine beef to the navy.
 Gilbert said that his group hac learned that 'the overthrow of the government" would result from either of these two causes:
 1. A movement to throw the United States into genera. European war with the result that this country would become a totali- tartan state.
 2. An internal revolution such as that in Spain which would be &C., companied by raid" on bank bonds and an epidemic of strikes.

 Jewish Leaders Warned N
 Great Britain warned Jewish lead- CTS that force will be met with force" in Suppressing disorderly protests against British policy in the Holy Land.
 Following riotous Jewish demon- strations in opposition to Britains program for creating new Pales- tinian state on the grounds that 1t would be dominated by Arabs, the Zionist leaders were summoned to meeting by Lieut.. Gen. R. H. Raining, commander of British arm- ed forces in the Holy Land. #
 Raining, who had made careful inspection of damage done during disorders in which a Briton was killed and more than 150 persons were injured, warned the leaders that additional military units had been moved in and that the com- mandant was ready to use whatever force was necessary to maintain or- der.
 Fully equipped soldiers with fixed bayonets occupied the roofs of buiId- ings in the Jewish section of the city.
 Under Strict Guard
 All government buildings were put under strict guard. Barbed wire and sand bag barricades were erected at strategic points in the streets. British troops were withdrawn from outlying Arab districts and brought to Jerusalem, Haifa and Tel-Aviv to be prepared for any eventuality.
 It appeared likely that the official Jewish resistance henceforth might be passivle but the extremist groups creatde fears of future rioting. Jew ish city and rural real estate own- CTS agreed they would not pay either government or municipal taxes so long as the British program remains in effect. Y.
 This appeared to be the first step in a campain of non-cooperation such as has been used frequently against Great Britain in India and other eastern regions.
 Another method of opposing the British policy. which restricts inn migration to Palestine, probably will b. organization of illegal means of entry. A Greek schooner carrying 308 illegal Jewish immigrants due to arrive Wednesday was delayed because it had to elude battleships patrolling the coast. The schooner finally was caught by a military patrol while landing its passengers illegally at the Biblical harbor of Askelon, south of Tel-Aviv. ', The immigrants, mostly rfeugees from central Europe, marched in a scorching sun across the sand dunes to a military post converted into a concentration camp {
