The Public Relations Committees
of the Northern and Southern Bap,
tist Conventions made public last
night letter to President Roosevelt
expressing concern over his appoint
ment of personal representative to
the Vatican.
THE distinctive theory upon
which this Government has been
founded" the letter said, "is the alb
solute separation of church and
state, and any recognition, implied
or otherwise, of the political status
of any ecclesiastical organization
constitutes, in our judgment, an as
sault upon this principle. 80

that the appointment of Mr.. Taylor

the Presidents representative at the

invites Nationwide discussion as to
its implications, better calculated to
retard rather than to promote the
laudable objective.
"One inquiry that may be made
with respect to the appointment is
as to whether or not a reciprocal
move on the part of the Vatican
might be anticipated"

LONDON, Jan. 5.-H. M. Clemin-
son, general manager of the United
Kingdom Chamber of Shipping, de-
clared today the nation would re-
ceive with questioning if not even
concern" the government requisi-
tioning of all high seas ships of the
kingdom and colonies.
He questioned whether the coun-
try could obtain as effective service
from the merchant marine 'in the
straitjacket of government CONTROL"
land whether the basis of requisi-
tioning would "be such as to leave
British shipping ill-equipped finan-
cially to face postwar competition,
which is bound to be fierce"
Shipping usually is paid best when
1t is needed most. he said, because
then enterprise which has gone un-
rewarded receives its reward. If
British shipping is to be able to
face the future, these considerations
must be faced by the minister Of

QUESTIONING, effective February l for
most ships, would apply only to in
structionS on cargoeS and routes,
leaving management to the owners.
One shipping executive said the
order would "cause enormous dis
satisfaction among ship owners"
adding, Il cannot see that more red
tape Is going to help. The whole
thing is scandal"
Another ship owner, however, said
most of the big companies favored
requisitioning and that it would help
keep living costs down.
Mr.. Cleminson said shippers were
anxious to serve the nation and
"avoid any suspicion of prof.
teering."
Virtually full control of shipping
was introduced in the World War
in February, 1917, following pro-
tests against shipping profits.
The present tonnage of 1881, ,134

strictions on the transfer of sterling

1t was said Canada was included
IN the transfer ban because Canada

One of Britain's weakest points
IN financing the war is her dollar

the necessity of paying cash in the

First Woman Spy Will
 Be Executed In France

Paris, April 3O.-(UP)-A faded blonde of 34, so lacking in the tra- ditional glamour that she was nicknamed the TrickhOrse, waited i'm a Paris cell today for the sum- mons to face a firing squad, first woman spy to be executed in France since the famous Mata Hari of the World war.
 Carmen Mory, of Swiss nation ality, and Fritz Erler, 38, movie studio handy man formerly of Ber- lin, were convicted of espionage yesterday by a military tribunal, and the terSe announcement was made that both had been sem tenced to death. As the verdict was that there were no extenuating circumstances, intervention by President Albert LeBrun, the sole hope for reprieve, was regarded as most unlikely.
 The trial was held i'm greatest secrecy, according to war time cus- tom, and the execution also will be secret. Carmen Mory and Erler will be taken out at dawn some morning s0On-unless they have gone today-to the moat at Vim cennes, as Mata Hari was taken, to meet the ignOniniOus death meted to spies.

paper woman. Little is known of her except that she had lived with Erler for six years and that they and Hans Jorgen Peters, "A, a Ger man self-styled actor, had been arrested by counter espionage operatives. Peters died in prison.
 Carmen Mory never danced in the nude as did the glamorOus Mata Hari, and she never travelled around the de luxe resorts of the continent. She lived in modest hotel-next door to the war college.
 She lacked entirely the sex ap- peal of the brilliant, witty beauti- full Baroness Won Einem, daughter of a German general who did her spying in salons of fashionable Paris, and escaped abroad. She had none of the charm of Greta Os- wald, a spy de luxe, who was arr rested at Istres air field where she tried to trade her favOrs for air plane secrets. Nor had the real beauty of Marthe Moreuil, who got herself a job in a poison gas factory. Greta Oswald and Marthe MOreuil escaped the death pen- alty, hut it appeared that the un- glamOrOuS Carmen would be un- lucky. ter-espionage agents said that she was not unbeautiful but so clumsy that her capture and conviction were not difficult.

FORD MOTOR co.
 LOSES DECISION
Must Reinstate 94 Em= plOyes With Back Pay
 Since Fall of l937

Washington, April 30.-(UP)-The National Labor Relations Board to- day ordered the Ford Motor Com pany to reinstate 94 employees with back pay since the fall of 1887 at its St. Louis, Mo, assembly plant.
 The board ordered the company to grant exclusive bargaining rights for approximately $40 employees in the plant to the CIO faction of the United Automobile Workers of America and ti refuse recognition to the St. Louis division of the Lib- erty Legion of America Inc.
 The board said that the company had undertaken an"active and open campaign to crush the JAW after distributing to all its employees a pamphlet criticizing unions which represented Henry Ford's viewpoint on labor"
 The board overruled the company's contentious that distribution of the pamphlet was an exercise of it. right to free speech. It directed the company to post notices that it will not interfere with the rights of its employees under the Wagner Act "by circulating, distributing, or other wise disseminating among its em- playes statements or propaganda which disparages or criticizes labor organizations or which advises its employees not to join such organiza- tionS."
 The board dismissed for lack of evidence charges that the company had discriminated against 108 other workers for union activity. Trial Examiner Tilford E. Dudley previ- ously had dismissed 76 cases alleging discharge for union activity.

 The mayor and Secretary John J. Dr1scoz of the local CIO joined in denying reports that there had been 8 dispute over the dismissal of a water department employe last week for alleged union activity. "No one was fired; there was some difference of opinion" the mayor said. MT. Driscoll made a similar statement.
 The employe in question, 1t was learned, was given his notice, be- ing told that there was a lack oE work. The union brought the mat ter to the mayors attention, citing the fact that the employees job was listed in the budget was necessary. The mayor investigated and the dis- missal order was resci11ded.
 The union was assured by the mayor that there was no bias to- ward any union employees of the street and water department. A union was formed there several months ago.
 Street department employees, who have been complaining that short work-weeks have held down their wages, worked a full 44-hour week last week, the first in some time.

Central Norway Zones Are Held By Germany

Cler asserted today that allied IOrceS still control the railroad from Dombaas to Stoeren.
 The Norwegian officers said that German claims that they had cut the Dombaas-Stoeren -ailroad-vi- tai to allied communications On the central Norwegian front-were in- correct.
 (In Berlin, the high command said that Germans from Trond- helm had advanced southwest of Stoeren and made contact with other force- coming north from the Oslo sector. No mention was made of cutting the railroad and it was stated in Berlin that the fate of Stoeren was unknown.)
 Allied artillery is being assembled all along the railroad from Dom- baaS to Stoeren to repel the Ger man attackS. according to the Nor wegian officers
 They said that French forces had been assembled in the vicinity of Hjerkinn, on the railroad just North of Dombaas, to fight off the German column that attempted to thrust through the mountains from the Oester Valley and cut the rail- road.
 It was indicated that the British, French and Norwegian forces were in strong positions at Dombaas and were rapidly strengthening the posi- tions along the railroad to Stoeren in a determined effort to keep the railroad line open.
 | Norwegian sources also said that the British air and Maya forces were hammering at the entrance to Trondheim Fjord in an effort to blast their way past the German held AgdeneS fortress and attack the Port of Trondheim from the sea.
 l British warships have Agdenes Fort under almost constant bom- bardment, it was said. Three de- StroyerS and submarine were re- ported off the entrance to the Fjord.
 German Claims
 Germany officially claimed the capture of all central Norwegian communication lines today and re- ported that allied forces were being driven back toward the coast in se- were fighting.

MUSICAL QUIZ ON
 EVENING PROGRAM
Works of Bach to Feature Learning-tO-Listen
 Course

Leopold Stokowski's orchestral transcription of Bach's great Pas sacaglia in c Minor" will be the opening selection of this evenings "Learning-to-Listen" music class, to be held in the Bronson Library mu- sic room at 7:15 o'clock. Although originally written for the organ, this piece as many of Bach's works, of- fers the grandest opportunity for orchestral treatment. Perhaps Bach himself would have conceived some of his organ compositions for or chestra, if the orchestra of his day had not been so limited in range. variety of color and power. In the hands of MT. Stokowski, the Pas sacaglia" is treated skillfully, and a veritable piece of architectural nlu- sic is created, with his tremendous ground bass as foundation. A pas sacaglia is a form derived from an ancient stately dance, probably of Spanish origin.
 Schubert'S Trio Nc. in E fiat Major (Opus 1O0) as recorded by the Busch-Serkin Trio, will also be featured on tonight's concert pro- gram. The recording artists are Adolph Busch, violin, Hermann Busch, violoncello, and Rudolph Serkin, piano.
 A musical quiz game will be part of the evenings program and the class will also participate in iden- tifying a memory selection, played at previous "Learning-to-Listen' concert.
 The public is cordially invited to attend this evenings concert, spon- sored by the Bronson Library and the WPA Adult Education Program
