Plus XII Takes Up
Routine Of Church
Administration
Selection of Secretary
Of Stote Is Expected
Soon at Vatican
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY, March 4.-Pope
Plus XII assumed the routine of
administering the affairs of the Holy
Roman Church today.
The day was taken up with con-
ferences with members of the
hierarchy as his holiness delved
into problems left in suspense dur
ing the Holy Sees three-week in
terregnum.
The change of regime involved
fewer readjustments than usual,
however, because Pope Plus had
been his predecessors closest COL
laborator and because, during the
interval after the death of Plus XII,
the former secretary of state was
camerlengo. or principal admins
traitor of church affairs.
Mass in Sistine Chapel.
The pontiff celebrated mass in
Sistine Chapel, and this was the
distinguishing mark of the Vatican
activity for the day. All the 81
cardinals attended.
His holiness reappointed the aged
Msgr. Mella di Sant-Elia as papal
chamberlain. Vatican circles ex-
pected soon the announcement of
his choice for secretary of state. 1t
was believed widely that Luigi
Cardinal Maglione, former nuncio of
Paris, would be named.
The Pontiff rewarded the 12O
Swiss guards with double pay for
the 18 days of the interregnum
before the papal conclave during
which they were responsible for
his safety. His grant followed the
tradition for the cardinal Gamer
lengo.
The Vatican newspaper, Observa-
tore Romano. found an apparent
preference for Eugenio Pacelli as
successor to Plus XI in words of
the late Pope more than year ago.
Paid Tribute to Work.
The Vatican newspaper said today
that Plus XII spoke to a group
Of cardinals about the "tireless and
heroic work of our very dear sec
retary of state" and then added
that the date of his own death
might not be far off.
The new Pontiff, desiring to en-
able the largest number possible
to witness his coronation. ordered
that it should take place on the
outside balcony of St. Peters.
Pontifical mass will be celebrated
first in ST. Peters, according to
tradition Then the Pope will be
borne to the balcony on his portable
throne to be invested with the papal
tiara.

Pope 10 Resist Hitler,
Dr.. Walsh Predicts

Pope Plus XII was represented
last night by DR.. Edmund A. Walsh,
S. j., of Georgetown University as
one who would offer uncompromising
resistance to any attempt by Hitler
to impose the new Nazi religion on
the 10000 900 Catholics of Germany.
Intimating that the Catholics are
to be the next chief victim" Of
Nazi racism, the Georgetown vice
president warned that denial to
them of christianity could easily
lead to a conflict such as modern
history has not yet seen" He then
added significantly: 1T must be
remembered that the new Pontiff
Plus XII, has already declared that
there can be no compromise with
this attempt to displace christianity
by superstitious worship of blood
and race"
in this third public lecture at Me-
mortal Continental Hall and ridi-
culed Hitler as asking a biological
| impossibility" in demanding un-
adultered Aryan blood as requisite
OF German citizenship.
Superstitions such as "Aryan su-
periority" the Georgetown educator
said. have frequently appeared in
the history of autocracies requiring
some new emergency or fresh scape-
goat to divert attention from in
| ternal weakness or impending
crisis. For the moment the chief
victim is the Jew. but he will not
be the last. as new emergencies will
require new victims in the violent
disequilibrium and hysteria produced

Plea 10 Delay Action
On Inferior Court
Plan Considered +.
II
Municipal Officers
Association Attacks
Warrant Section

Prince Georges County delegates
to the Maryland Legislature today
had under consideration q plea
from the County Municipal Officers
Associa ton that action on a pend
ing bill changing the inferior court
setup in the county be delayed until
several disputed sections can be
studied.
Attacking the section which pro-
vides that warrants may be issued
only by trial justices, only two of
which would be provided in the
county, Bird H. Dolby, president of
the association, charged the bill
would make it impracticale for in
corporated towns to have any police
at all. Even if the towns main
tained police department, he de-
clared, all fees and fines collected
would be turned over to the county
and the towns would reap no
benefits.
Possibility of officers settling
cases out of court because they could
not contact justice of the peace
or trial magistrate also was sug-
gested by Mr.. Dolby. He pointed
out that most of the town policemen
work only at night and in case they
made an arrest and we're unable to
locate a trial magistrate or the
magistrate refused to be disturbed,
the officer would have no alternative
but to release the prisoner or re-
main with him all night.
Joining with Mr.. Dolby in op.
posing the bill in it's present form,
Mayor John N. Torvestad of Colmar
Manor, who is also secretary of the
Maryland League of Municipalities,
announced that he will write to the
heads of towns throughout the State
asking that they urge the defeat
OF the bill in its present form.
