POPE PLUS X STOOD OUT AS ONE OF
 MOST F0R(EFUL p0NTIFF5 OF MODERN
 TIMES; WAS FIGHTING HEAD OF CHURCH

on a subject which for nearly two years had been causing American comment. Rev. Charles E. Cough lin, Detroit's "radid priest" had be- come the center of controversy by outspoken opposition to the New Deal policies of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He climaxeG this in calling the President a liar aud be- trayer, explosives which brought a rebuke from Bishop Michael Gall lagher of Detroit and an apology from Father Coughlin.
 The bishop visited Plus at Castel Gandolfo, in August, 1886, and 1t was announced then that Father Cough lin's activities as a publicist had been explained satisfactorily. Just what the Pope said was not revealed but few days later Osservatore Ro- mano, the newspaper voice of the Vatican, echosed Bishop Gallagher's disapproval of applying such terms to the head of government.
 Orders Issued
 Bishop Gallagher died January 20, 1887, and the see was raised to an archbishopric for his successor, Most Rev. Edward Mooney. When Father Coughlin renewed his broad casting in October, 1887, the new prelate ordered him to submit radio speeches for approval before de- livery. Father Coughlin thereupon gave up his time on the air and of- | ficials of the National Union for Social Justice, which the priest had organized, appealed to the Vatican l against this censorship" An in- formed prelate thereupon said: | The Vatican doesn't censor Father Coughlin. Furthermore Il cannot interfere to prevent Father Coughlin's bishop from ordering hir- to show his radio speeches befoi, they are delivered. Such an order tc a priest is within any bishops rights"
 Prayer and Protest
 Prayer and protest was the for mula of Plus in dealing with the many grave national and interna- tional problems which confronted his regime. France, Mexico. the Un- ion of Soviet Socialist Republics Spain, Italy, Germany and, after "anschluss," Austria. all posed ques- tions which taxed the diplomacy oi the Church. Plus fought religious persecution whether of Christian oi Jew; the fostering of atheism ir Russia and of "neo-paganism" ir Germany, the mediaeval idea re- vived by totalitarian regimes that the citizen belonged to the state rather than vice versa, and Mexi- can and Spanish constitutional laws which limited the clergy, dispos- sessed the Church of much prop erty and banished many of its workers.

Martin Ayers Indian Can | Handle Liquor-White
 Man Either"

Alaska will go bone dry once again if bill introduced in the House of Representatives today passes the Territorial Legislature.
 The measure, introduced by Rep- resentatives Martin, Mccormick and Smith, would prohibit the manu- facture or sale of intoxicating liquor in the Territory of Alaska.
 This surprising legislative move carries more seriousness than would appear on the surface. Representa- tive Martin, who was prepared to introduce the measure alone, was asked by Mccormick and Smith at the last moment to permit their signatures as well.
 This bill is going to pass the House easily" Martin said. We've got so many liquor bills here, mo- body knows what the score is. You've got bills that say you have to drink standing up and some that you have to drink sitting down. Wires and letters and petitions are flooding the Legislature asking us to do this and to do that. Let's go back to the beginning and start over again"
 Martin added, They say, take the liquor away from the Indian he can't handle it. Well, the white man can't either"
 In Martins opinion, other liquor ensures now pending are ooumed," and that the bone dry legislation is the "only answer"

As Pope of the Cancellation, who ended the 59-year-old Roman ques- ton" and regained temporal power for the Vatican; as saint maker, adding 30 names to the roster of men and women beatified or canon- ized, and as lighting head of the Church" denouncing religious per secution, godlessness and "exagger- ated nationalism, Plus XI stood out as one of the most forceful Pontiffs of modern times.
 Elected head of the Roman Catholic Church on February 6, 1922, when he was Achille Cardinal Ratti, he became, seven years later, the first Pope after Plus TX to reign temporarily as well as spiritually, the first Pontiff in 59 years to greet paternally the king, queen and princes of united Italy, the first head of the Church since 1870 to leave the limits of the Vatican.

The next day, before 10000 cheering devotees, he ob- served the fiftieth anniversary of his first mass.
 AS a spiritual leader Plus clung steadfastly to the traditions and pre- negatives of his office and the his toric position of the church. Religious Overtures
 When the "godless" campaign spread through the Soviet Union he made overtures for closer rela- tions with the Russian Orthodo, and other eastern churches anc manifested interest in all move ments for Christian unity. But ht made it plain that if this unity wal to include the Roman Church, i could be consumated only by re- turn of all other sects to the juris' diction of the Holy See. An encycli' cal issued in October, 1928, declared that restoration of the status whicf existed up to the time of the Lu' theran reformation and the seces' sion of the Anglican communion from the jurisdiction of Rome, wa the only basis he could consider fol church unity.
