Hitler May Ease Anti-Jewish Laws

ANTWERP, Belgium, Sept. Ia.

Germany was seen today in notices

here inviting doctors, engineers and
technicians "of German national

Immediately to the Reich
The move was regarded here as
an attempt to attract Jewish doc

their services would be of inestim-

 A Socialist bolt would throw Re- publicans definitely out of senate control.
 Status Legislation
 Here is the status of Republican major legislation:
 1.-The dual-job bill in 8 con- ference committee, possibly lost there because of widespread differ- ences of House and Senate opinion and gubernatorial indication of no back-down.
 2-The bill to increase the super for court bench was on the Senate table and enough votes were avail able to keep it there.
 3-The minor court reform pro- gram was under consideration by the judiciary committee, which may take considerable time to report it because of the sweeping of its rec concentrations. Senate approval was problematical.
 1.-The appropriations committee was still studying the budget. An unruly Senate, in control of Demo- vrats, was expected to attack the extensive economies, particularly proposals to eliminate two state teachers colleges and two trade schools.
 An effort to avert disaster was seen in the action of the Norwalk Republican town committee in re- pudiating the vote of Sen. Meme hiah Candee, T., Norwalk, on the dual-job holding. amendments.
 A revolt against the administra- tion leadership already was under way in Sen. Thornhill's 24th dis trict. An attempt to head off revolt in Sen. Candee's 26th district was seen in the Norwalk move.

 Each faction blamed the other for the fight. AFL officials said the em- bargo was decided upon only after CIO raids on their unions and CIO picketing of Boston and Cambridge markets having closed shop con- tracts with the CIO.
 "We will not tolerate the disrup- tive policies of the CIO," said Pres ident Nicholas P. Morrissey of the State Federation of Labor. "The matter will be settled once and for all and now is the time to drive the CIO out of New England"
 Charges of CIO
 The CIO accused the AFL of 'seizing upon a petty jurisdictional dispute between two unions of re- tail clerks to start a selfish fight in the labor movement" AFL head quarters in Washington have sent organizers here ito fornent strife where none has heretofore existed" 1" the CIO said.
 Both factions have sent up de- fense committees.
 The AFL claimed an initial vic- tory by allegedly taking over local 122 of CLOS United Rubber Workers at the Hood Rubber company plant in Watertown. Off1cials said 2,500 workers have signed up with the newly chartered federal union 21,914 with only 12 workers remaining lowal to CIO. The C1O ridiculed the claim.

New Pope Expected To Press Vatican's Fight On Racialisn
Foreign Policy
 Seen As Similar To Predecessors
BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Staff Correspondent

Rome, March 6-(By Cable)- Priests and Christian brothers with whom talked here not only gave an informal "vote of confidence" to the new Pope Plus XII, but also voted their faith in the policies particularly the foreign policies-of the late Pope.
 In view of the filial relations between the former Eugenio Car dinal Paceln and the late Pope, it is deemed probable that the new Supreme Pontiff will retain the same attitude toward countries expressing Catholics or advocating racial theories repugnant to church teachings.
 One distinguished priest-teacher in famous Roman School-epi- tomized the new Pope,s probable foreign policy to me in one sem tence:
 'The Pope will neither approve what his predecessor disapproved nor disapprove what he ap- proved"
 With quite an intimate nowl- edge of Germany due to his long residence as Papal Nuncio and his work in obtaining a concordat with Adolf Hitler, the present Pope is better fitted to deal with future problems there than al- most any man who could have been picked.
 As an experienced diplomat and a lover of peace, he also is fitted to handle problems closer to home, where racialism recently has reared its head. AS a dele gate to the last British coronation and a visitor to America, he has an intimate knowledge of democra- cieS.
 He himself is true democrat and great friend of Cardinal Mundelein of Chicago. The latter instituted here postgraduate cours- eS for young Chicago priests.
 Last Thanksgiving Day the then Cardinal Pacelli accepted an invi- tation to dine with Cardinal Mun- delein, the college rector and six student priests. One of the six said to me the other day:
 "We had celery, sweet potatoes, turkey and trimmings, and mince pie. Cardinal Pacelli enjoyed the meal as if he were one of us. He drew us out in talk and listened just as if we were as famous as he."

POPE BENEDICT
 PICKED PACELLI
(Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D today, Senator Filippo Crispolti re- vealed that Wilhelm told Pacelli the Pope,s letter favored the allies.
 wilhelm IT received Nuncio Pa celli in private audience Senator Crispolti wrote. "You think it was to thank him for the great help which, according to the allies, the Pope was giving to Germany and her allies? Not at all. It was to the contrary. The Emperor was irritated at the nuncio, charging that the peace document was prejudiced against the Emperor and favorable to the allieS."
 Reminiscing to friends in later years, Pacelli said the Kaiser, after carefully reading the letter, imme- diately protested that he always de- sired peace and was as anxious as anyone to see the war end.
 Despite the nuncio's insistence on a clear-cut statement regarding with the Kaiser would consider req sonable peace terms, wilhelm re- fused to commit himself and avoided speaking in any but the most vague general terms.
 Kaiser Remained Standing
 Pacelli stated that during the en- tire two-hour conversation the Kaiser remained standing, holding a spiked officers helmet under his left arm.
 Becoming friendlier, as the au- dience progressed, the Kaiser prom ised to take the Pope's peace plan into serious consideration and study 1t carefully. He ended the conversa- tion by asking the nuncio to remain for lunch. Prince Henry of Prussia was present at the luncheon.
 In spite of the aKiser's informal and friendly attitude the Pope's peace plan never brought concrete results.
 Archbishop Pacelli remained in the Bavarian nunciotura for eight years, there passing through some of the most troubled and even most dangerous times of his life. Not only did Pacelli pass through the tragic days of the last year of the war, when the German people literally were starving, but the papal Nuncio needed the utmost diplo- macy to prevent general misery from affecting the church's position in Bavaria. He was at Munich much of the time during the revolu- tionary postwar days. Wave Of BoIshevism After the collapse of Germany and the flight of the Kaiser to Hol- land a wave of Bolshevism swept over Munich. During this agitated period, when communistic support CTS of Kurt Eisner were in control of Munich Pacelli succeeded adroit- ly in maneuvering the nunciature through maze of tremendous diff | ficultieS.
 By April, 29, 1919 sentiment aroused against the Holy See by the Communists reached such a pitch that the nuncio's palace was invad- ed by mob of angry young Bol- shevists.
 Pacelli courageously stood his ground. In a quiet voice he endeav- ored to reason with the menacine group. Hardly had he started te speak, however, when a particularly threatening Communist rushed al him and poked the barrel of load. ed revolver at his chest. Still Pa. celli didn't finch. Ultimately ht was able to persuade the wholt mob to leave.

 'Either peace for Spain or Q fight to the deathl We ere ready fof either.
 we are independent and free Spaniards. We have not on our con- science the responsibility for the de- struction of our country
 This invitation, the climax of Q series of announcements and speeches informing the country of the overthrow of the cabinet headed by Juan Negrin, was addressed die rectly to the Nationalists, and 1t was indicated that 1t was the keynote of the new emergency government program.
 National Defense Council
 Late last night the Madrid radio station suddenly announced:
 "A national defense council has been created tonight and is taking charge of the general situation in the zone abandoned to its fate by the government presided over by Negrin.
 "This supreme organization is composed of Gen. Sigismundo Ca- sado, representing the peoples army, presiding; Julian Besteiro, Socialist; Wenceslao Carrillo, UGT Socialist General Union of Labor); Miguel San Andres, left Republican; Eduar- do Val, Socialist, and Manuel Con- zalez Marin, CNT (Anarcho-Syndi- calist National Confederation of Labor)."
 These leaders announced that they overthrow the Negrin govern ment because it had mismanaged affairs, abandoned its duties, and failed to fulfill its promises.
 Negrin Leaders Flee
 Leaders of the Negrin government had fled Madrid. Negrin's where abouts were unknown. He was be- lieved to be in the coastal area. Julio Alvarez Del Vayo, his foreign min- ister, and Ramon Gonzalez Pena, his minister of justice, left Valencia yesterday for an unspecified desti- nation after conferences with mili- tary and civilian leaders.
 An unidentified member of the new leadership broadcast the an- nouncement.
 Then Gen. Casado, only recently promoted to general from colonel after having been dupty commander in chief to Gen. Jose Miaja, ad- dressed the nation.
 "Either we are all saved or else we all sink," he said. we have cast the die. Triumph depends on our- selves.
 we must remain on war foot ing until we receive 8 guarantee of peace insuring the independence of Spain and avoiding reprisals.
 No Imperialism Wanted
 we are not fighting from our own will. We want a country free from imperialistic ambitions. There is no room for any other policy ex- cept absolute Identification of all those who are defending invaded Spain while at the same time await ing the time of peace"
 Then Lieut.. Col. Cipriano Meda, one of the leaders of the central army and 8 member of the Anar- chist group in politics, said:
 "In the last A hours there has occurred what had to occur. From today a government which was truant to it's promises to the people and to all moral principles has dis appeared.
 "Negrin is a perjurer and a traitor. He was disloyal.
 From this moment, citizens, Spain has a government, and one which wishes peace-but an honor able peace with justice"

Bolshevist regime, but foreseeing a battle, officers instructed Pacelli to take refuge in Switzerland before the fighting started.
 During the ensuing street skirm- ishing, many bullets struck the num- ciature, causing some damage.
 After the situation nao quieted, Pacelli returned to Munich and started negotiating important con- cordats. Pope Benedict appointed him to the more important nuncia- ture in Berlin in June of 1920, but Pacelli continued to maintain his residence in Munich until the early part of 1925.
 During his first year as papal nuncio in Berlin Pacelli was able to patch up the interrupted rela- tions between Germany and the Holy See and restore them to their former friendly basis.
 Important Concordat
 After five years of patient nego- tiation, the important concordat with Bavaria was signed in Feb- ruary 1925 and Pacelli subsequently, went to Berlin as accredited Vatican representative to the Prussian gov- ernment.
 Nuncio Pacelli put in four more years of work in Berlin and finally succeeded in drawing up another agreement with the Prussian gov- ernment which was signed on May IA, 1929.
 Pacelli's work in Germany was considered in Vatican circles the most important phase of his pro- gress towards the post of secretary of state-the second most import ant position in the Catholic church.
 Pacelli undoubtedly was aided greatly by the fact that he spoke fluent and faultless German and had an exhaustive knowledge of German literature.
 Lectured In German
 He often lectured in German and always astonished his audience by speaking without trace of accent. Everything he wrote while in Ger many was published in that country and also disseminated widely abroad.
 Notwithstanding his high diplo- matic mission the nuncio found time to devote to German religious and intellectual life. He always att tended the conferences of university professors, even though most of them were predominantly Protest ant. He was warmly welcomed by Protestant and Catholic alike.
 Always keen sportsman, Pacel- Ii during his stay in Berlin, often could be seen cantering through the city's park on horseback, frequent ly in the company of German of- ficers.
 Shortly after the concofdat with Prussia was concluded, Plus XI re- called Pacelli to Rome. He reward ed him for his excellent work by creating him a cardinal. Pacelb was 53 years old when the cere- mony making him 8 prince of the church took place in December 1929.
 (The fourth and last dispatch of this series will cover the later car- ger of Pacelli as cardinal and sec- retary of State.)

under which he has been working was not compatible with his age. He advised him to be well rested for the coronation ceremony.
 Falls Down Stairs
 It was revealed officially that the new pope fell down @ flight of three steps, face forward, on the day he was elected. So engrossed in con- versation, he did not notice the steps before the Ducal hall. He fell on his chest and right elbow.
 Other cardinals rushed up, helped him to rise and called Dr. Milani, physician to the conclave. There was no serious injury, but his elbows were bruised and he was consider ably shaken up.
 The first Sunday of the new pope's reign was relatively calm as he re- stricted audiences to prelates and laymen who took over the work of the Vatican upon the death of Plus XI.
