 Vatican City, February IA. -- (UP) = The body of Pope Plus XI, sealed in a triple coffin, was laid reverently to rest in a crypt below St. Peters Basilica today with tlse most solemn rites of mourning the liturgy of the Catholic church affords. Be- hind the locked gates of the mother church of the Catholic wurld, its splendor dimmed by the black drapes of sorrow, several hun dred dignitaries knelt while the Church said farewell to its 26lst pope.
 Among them were the cardinals now in Rome, one of whom may be selected for the vacant throne Of St. Peter.
 Outside, the crowds knelt or stood with bowed heads in the great square. The bells of St. Peters tolled in slow, deep tones.
 Inside, the grief of the Church was expressed in the steady Gregor- ian chant of the hymns "Incredior" and "Quemado Dunn Desiderat," sung by the choir. =
 Standing behind the Pope's cof- fin were his relatives and intimates of the papal household and behind them the Cardinals, headed by Flu genio Cardinal Pacelli, temporary head of the church. He wore @ white miter and a black cape.
 Last Ceremonies Begin
 The ceremony started in the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament, where the body lay on a red-cov-

Republican Women
Also Hear Plea for
Strict Neutrality

Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas
protested the German-American
Bund movement in this country and
warned against American participa-
ton in foreign disputes in an ad-
dress yesterday before the League
of Republican Women at its meet
ing at the Mayf1ower Hotel.
The Senator, who discussed Amer
ica's foreign policy at length, also
forecast victory for the Republican
party in the coming campaign. He
charged the New Deal with failure
to solve the farm problem and
others and said that the Republican
victories last November indicated
that "the country was sick and tired
of relief administration that was
playing politics with human misery"
Protesting against foreigners who
come to this country, take advantage
of its opportunities and try to foist
upon us the form of government
that is destroying everything that
is good in their own country" Sen
ator Capper said of the German
American Bund: IF they want to
goosestep, let them 60 to Germany
and goosestep to their hearts con-
tent"
Wants Strict Neutrality.
He declared for strict neutrality
enforcement, adding: Europe and
Asia are in a mess I believe that
we can, shall and must keep out of
that mess"
He added that he favors adequate
national defense. the extent of
which should be in proportion to
need, not to the hysterical fears of
the fearful"
Senator Capper also expressed ap-
proval of constitutional amend
ment providing for a referendum on
war.
There is nothing in the proposed
referendum that would prevent or
hinder immediate action in a war of
self f-defense." he declared. 1T is not
our job to determine the boundary
disputes or other European contro-
versies, nor to police the world"
Views on Deportation.
The Senator also advocated de-
portation of all criminal aliens,
aliens preaching destruction of our
form Of government and all aliens
who do not take out first papers
within year after they enter the
United States.
Those who neglect to apply for
citizenship" he said, "are not en-
titled to the opportunities which are
theirs if they choose to accept
them"
Warning that there was never
greater need for defense of the
American form of government than
at the present time, Senator Capper
concluded "the task of America, the
job for leadership in America, the
job for Republican leadership, is to
save the United States as govern
ment of free people, land of equal
opportunity and an indestructible
union of indestructible States"
A business meeting was held, prior
to the address by Senator Capper.

E. Gam as "the Senator from nv
