 As Real Pope Of Peace
tContinued from Page l)

he would seek to make his reign one of world appeasement. It was said that he would defend the church and Christian principles stoutly and without compromise. But in doing so he was expected to make use of the diplomatic skill which won him the respect and admiration of the diplomats of the world during his nine years of service as secretary of state to Plus XI.
 Tradition Overthrown
 By electing to the papal throne. on his 63d birthday the man who as Eugenio Pacelli had served his pre- decessor as secretary of state, the cardinals had overthrown tradition. It is not customary for any man so closely linked with the policies of the preceding pope to be elected.
 But the cardinals, by their act. had given their full approval to the, recent policy of the Vatican, which was to oppose vigorously the racial, anti-church and other policies of the tctalitarian nations, to take every opportunity to support the n,ainten- ance and consolidation of world peace. Further, by electing a new pope in three ballots, they had shown to the world, as they had sought to do, a firmly united church which would remain a bulwark in world of change and conflict.
 It was understood that on the sec- ond ballot the new pope received 3d l x,nfnc TNVtvy-NrAn nnv1CfifJIfnd fhn necessary two-thirds majority. The day that on the third ballot the day that one the third ballot the vote was unanimous. Selected Name At Once It was asserted also that when he was asked, immediately after his election, what name he intended to take, the new pope said:
 q want to be called Plus XII be- cause all my ecclesiastical career has been under a pope of that name, and also because of my gratitude to Plus XI, who was always most affec- tionate to me"
 Pope Plus XI often referred to his successor as "our beloved son..
 As soon as the new pope was elected, speculation had started re- garding the probable new secretary of state. Direction and control of Vatican policies naturally fell to the pope himself. But there was world interest in the identity of the new secretary.
 Three Candidates
 Three candidates had been sug- gested, in the order of probability:
 Luigi Cardinal Maglione, pre- feet of the congregation of the coun- cil, former papal nuncio successively to Switzerland and to France and regarded as second only to the new pope in diplomatic skill.
 2-Francesco Cardinal Marmaggi, connected for 16 years with the sec- retariat of state and subsequently, nuncio to Rumania, Czechoslovakia and Poland.
 3-Federico Cardinal Tedeschini, under secretary of state during the World war, and former nuncio to Madrid, both under the monarchy and during the early years of the | repuDLc.
 It was made known today that among the first messages of con- graduation the new pope received were those of King Victor Emman- uel and Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy.
 The king wished him perennial prosperity

Completing his direct examina- ton shortly before II o'clock today, Special Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn surrendered his witness, James P. Purcell, city auditor, to the defense staff for cross examination. Testi- mony on Mayor Hayes dinner to state senators brought direct exam ination to a close. With Attorney Crawford doing the questioning the trial proceeded:
 Purcell on stand. Questioned by Alcorn.
 o. MT. Purcell, show you a group of 16 papers, and ask you to tell me what they are?
 A. Copies of City Purchase Or ders.
 @. In whose name?
 A. All to the Conn. Supply Go.
 o. What year?
 A. Four dated 1936. Balance, 1887.
 Admitted and marked as Exhibit 22O)
 c. MT. Purcell, call your atten- ton to Exhibit 147, being the three slips about which you testified the other day. Do you remember?
 A. Yes.
 o. Do you recall that you com- pared those items with the War rants Payable sheets for the pur- pose of determining what items were on the sheet at the present time and those not. Do you re- member? A, Yes. o. Have you made the compari- son?
 A. I have.
 o. Will you give me the total amount that now appears in the Warrants Payable Book for 1881 as it appears on Exhibit 147?
 A. The total amount of the items now appearing on the Warrants Payable Register which were listed on that page, amount to $32,769.15. Total of 75 items.
 @. Amounts that are missing from the Warrants Payable Sheets?
 A. Totals of items on the add- ing machine tapes, not on the War rants Payable sheets: $46, ,145.52.
 o. MT. Purcell, during the past several days, you had an oppor- tunity to examine the warrants pay- able sheet and check them with your tapes, is that correct?
 A. Yes.
 Q. And in some instances there are items appearing on the war rants payable sheets that do not appear on the tapes?
 A. That's correct.
 e. In how many instances is that true in the year 1881?
 A. For the year 1881 I found two items not on the tape.
 o. And they appear upon the warrants payable sheet?
 A. That's correct. Admitted and marked as Exhibit 14D.
 Q. MT. Purcell, I show you two papers, marked Exhibit 148. Whether or not they were made in the same manner as were Exhibit 147?
 A. Yes.
 o. Whether or not to your knowl- edge the original of the voucher from which the cancelled check from which they were taken are

 would be on precarious ground if he attempted to justify killing of the measure because of its "all-mclu- sive" nature.
 A conference committee of three, meantime, sat down today to dis cuss differences between the two chambers. Representing the house were two Republicans, Representa- tive E. Lea Marsh, Old Lyme, and Representative George E. Jones, West Hartford. From the senate was Senator Joseph B. Downes, Norwich, the Democratic leader.
 The meeting today was expected to produce no agreement. Confer ences may drag out interminably.
 It was believed Republican strat- egy on the bill was not complete. On the outcome of this situation, it was pointed out, dependd the success or failure of the minor court reform bill which will come before the as- sembly later in the session.
 A similar Democratic-R Republican coalition in the senate could defeat such court reform measure, and if it could hang together, could just about ruin Governor Baldwin's leg islative program.
 Bills In Senate
 Hartford, Conn.,, March 3 = GU. PA bill allowing disabled vetera- ans and their wives joint property exemption of $3,000 Was received in the senate today on a favorable re- port and tabled for printing on the calendar.
 Two other veterans bills, however, were rejected. They would have ex- empted the homes of deceased vet erans from succession taxes and ex- tended tax exemptions to the wi- dows and dependent children of ex- servicemen.
 Other rejected bills:
 Examinations for electricians.
 Compelling auditors to check in- ventorieS.
 Repeal of all blue laws.
 Regulation and licensing of whole sale fruit and produce dealers. Public hearings on county budgets.
 Elimination of all collection agencies.
 Prohibiting unreasonable dunning or harrassing of indigent debtors by creditors or collection agencies.
 Two bills were passed during a brief session. One called for issu- ance of state police permits for au- tomobile racing and the other for nomination of Stratford representa- tives to the legislature, judges of probate and justice of the peace by party caucuses instead of direct primaries.
 Disapproped was bill prohibiting person who renounced his citizen- ship from transferring property to his native country. ss

(COnClnUeQ rom rage U ence to decide Bauer,s fate, was struck by his resemblance to the Fuehrer and took charge of him.
 Hitler was impressed with the re- semblance which was greater than that of three other doubles, Bauer states, and called him Little Adolf" By disgusting himself, he said he served as bodyguard for the Fuehr- CT and, when Hitler feared assassi- nation or was indisposed, took part in ceremoneis by impersonating the Fuehrer. On some occasions he made speeches for Hitler, the book says.
 Narrowly Escaped
 Bauer recites that he narrowly escaped death on one occasion be- cause been made to poison the Nazi leader.
 He describes many intimate con- versations between hitler and other Nazi leaders, quoting them exten- sively. He gives details of the Reichsag fire, various attempts to assassinate Hitler, the occupation of the Rhineland, the purge of the Nazi party and other incidents = all written in the words of an en- thusiastic Nazi but in 8 manner to discredit the Nazis.
 On the eve of the "big four" con- ference in which Hitler. Chamber lain, Mussolini and Daladier partici- pated at Munich in 1888, the book says, Hitler was given South American poison" in his food while dinii with his principal aides. The book said ,lc tried to rise land was almost strengthened up but with his features scrunched up and his eyes so narrowed they had disappeared. Then with startling suddenness he slumped back on his chair. 'Ach, he half groaned."
 Hitler, the book continues, died a few minute later and the Nazi lead CTS decided they must carry on with one of the doubles. Bauer states that he has been the principal dou- ble for the "fuehrer" but that he fears assassination at any moment and may commit suicide.
 Ridiculous Says Germany Berlin, March 3 - U.P) - An official spokesman, asked today to comment on the book ''The Strange Death of Adolf Hitler" said:
 The story is so ridiculous that 1t is beyond our dignity to deny it or give any kind of reaction"

 Purcell also admitted that he did not receive diploma or certificate of graduation from the correspon- dence school. s.
 "T0O Busy"
 T didn't have time," he shot out, as the questioner tried to quieten him. T was too busy" Purcell was just as cool and delib- crate under early cross examination today as he has been during the past 13 days, when he poured out, for the state, tale of alleged unap- proved payments of hundreds of thousands of city funds to favored contractors and lawyers.
 Referring then to the time when Purcell was appointed chief account ant in the controllers office in 1930, at the age of 28, Crawford asked him How many people were under you?"
 After much arguing back and forth, Purcell answered, T thought they all were until" he was stopped by Crawford, who said pointedly, We'll get along famous ly if you'll answer the questions ask of you"
 T am answering the question, '' replied the witness. And he added And we will get along if you'll let me answer"
 All But Leary!
 He finally concluded that every body in the controllers office was under his supervision, excepting Leary, in 1930. He said there were six or seven, and he then proceeded to name them off, under orders of the attorney:
 Martin J. Dunn, Miss Betty Me Givney, Helen Tehan, Martin Sweeney, Frank Doyle, Bernadine Lawlor, Madeline McFadden, Patrick McFadden, Julia Laguna, Mrs Rachel Angle and William Shana- han. T think that's all," he said. He pointed out that Dunn, Miss Mc- Givney, Shanahan, Miss Tehan (noW Mrs. G. Smith) and Doyle were hold over employees from the previous ad- ministration.
 DO you remember conference after you took office-at which .Leary introduced you to all the employes?' asked Crawford.
 "He probably did, but I don't re- member" was the reply. No doubt it did take place"
 He also agreed that Leary might have told the other employees of Purcell's position with relation to theirs.
 A lengthy discourse of the layout of the city hall with particular ref erence to the offices of the controller on the first and third floors followed
 Office Hang Out"
 Purcell said that originally he was not located on the third floor, but sometime in 1880 or 1881 he moved to an office on the second floor, ad- joining the mayors office and the aldermanic chamber, known as the committee room. He said that he also was located in the aldermanic chamber at one time, and in 1882 or 1883 went to the top floor.
 "The office was little more than a hangout," he said with reference to the first floor office in 1880.

The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1939-08-21
THE GREAT CHARTER COMEDY

Key West is operating under now
you-see-it-now-you-don city charter.
From day to day it is often difficult to state
offhand what charter we are working UNI
der. One day it is the so-called old city
charter, the next it is the new city charter.
Right now it is reported we are operating
under the old city charter.
What that means no public official
seems to know positively. Whether GER
tain things can be done under the old char
ter and, if not, can they be done under the
new city charter, are questions nobody
seems to be able to answer with any clarity.
Further
Is the old city charter legal docu-
ment?
Can the city levy taxes under it?
Can the city enter into contracts UNI
der it?
Do the bonding provisions of the old
or. the new charter prevail?
Who is responsible for repair of
streets?
Who operates the water system?
Where do we go from here?
These and similar questions are aris-
ing every day. Proponents Of the new city
charter are convinced the old city charter
is illegal. They state the secretary of
state certified the new city charter, minus,
of course, the referendum amendment.
Proponents OF thesold city charter, and
they include municipal officials and en-
ployes, are convinced the old city charter
is the legal document They hold that the
new charter without the amendments is
null and void. Which side is right?
The least that city council can do is
start friendly suit in the courts to de-
termine this question: once and for all. An
election is coming along. Perhaps our city
officials are aware of that Is that why
they are stalling supreme court show
down, as it is alleged in some quarters?
What is to be gained by refusing to go in
to the courts on the charter question?
Eventually someone will start an action
against the city in connection with taxes
or contracts and the city will have to de-
fend itself. Why not start the suit our
selves?
Any way the taxpayer looks at it he
feels municipal operations are in beauti-
full mess. Muddled ideas regarding the
charters have lead to muddled municipal
affairs. The taxpayers are stuck in any
event, as usual. No matter which side
wins the taxpayer is standing in the mid
die with both pockets turned inside out.
Let's settle this matter.
