Norwegian Ship Detained
On Refusing 10 Carry Mail
By the Associated Press.

Dy the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March Customs
of'icials tonight halted the 1l,O15-
ton Observation-Disclosures liner Ber-
gensfjord from sailing because ON
cials Of the line refused to take
United States mails aboard.
The line rejected the mail con-
signment, oficials said, because of
fear the ship would be subject to
German attack If she carried any
cargo or other matter subject to
British contraband seizure. Mail,
they said, was subject to such
seizure.
The order came after 800 passen-
gers boarded the liner. The Bergens-
ford was scheduled to sail for Ber-
gen, Norway, and her route would
take her within proximity Of belNg-
erent zones.
The customs agents entered the
dispute zt the insistence Of postal
ofncials. It was understood the
agents acted under an article of
international law compelling . ship
to carry mail If postal ofncials de-
manded.
Company ofacials and postal au-
thorities said they were referring
the controversy to. the State De-
partment and Norwegian diplomats
at Washington in hope that . set
tlement might be made soon enough
to permit sailing tomorrow.

Farley Pleads for Tolerance
In Selection Of a President
Says Nation Should Never Sink to Point
Where Creed Would Be Bqr to Office

In what is virtually certain to be
construed as an answer to recent
reports that the line has been
drawn against him at the White
House as a candidate for President
or Vice President, Postmaster Gen.
eral Farley last night said the
ideals Of the Republic must not be
permitted to "sink to q point where
race, color or creed" would keep .
man from the presidency.
Addressing the annual banquet
Of the Friendly Sons of st. Patrick
at the Mayf,ower Hotel. Mr.. Farley
cautioned that no political implica-
tions should be attached to his re-
marks, but said:
I'VE must never permit our out
look on life, our American skyline,
If you please. TO become obscured
by the cloud of social and economic
problems. We must never allow the
fabulous wealth Of this Nation to
deprive us of the simple virtues
that have made this Nation the
hope of all mankind.
I'VE must never permit the ideals
of this Republic to sink to a point
where every American father and
mother, regardless of race, color or
creed, cannot look proudly into the
cradle of their newborn babe and
see a future President of the United
States"
Although there was nothing in
the address to indicate the Post
master General was thinking Of the
recent reports, his utterance was
a definite protest Of discrimination
against any mans availability as a
presidential candidate because of
his religious afhliation. Mr.. Farley
is a Catholic.

in 1928, when Alfred E. Smith, a
Catholic. was the party's presiden-
tial nominee.
In his speech before the 200 irish
men who assembled to hear him.
Mr.. Farley asserted that social and
economic problems should never be
permitted to create disunity.
Il am speaking now of human
realities" he said, human realities
that we can hand down to our chill
dren If We will keep the faith of our
fathers and cherish the bonds of
unity that are so. necessary, so es-
sential. for our continued progress.

After seven years of jealous labor,
he said, there Is still one sharp,

ultimate goal of this fine and gen.

Queen Wilhelmina of Holland

To-day we seek a moral basis for
peace" Mr.. Roosevelt said. 1T can
not be a real peace If 1t fails to rec

lasting peace If the fruit of 1t Is
oppression, or starvation, or cruelty,
or human life dominated by armed
camps.
1T cannot be a sound peace II
small nations must live In fear Of
powerful neighbors. It cannot be
moral peace If freedom from in

be an intelligent peace If it denies

is denied"

PALM SPRINGS, Calf, March
16.-Samuel Untermyer, 50, New
York corporation lawyer and cru
sader for Jewish rights, died at his
winter home today. He had been
Ill several weeks.
Mr.. Untermyer died in his luxuri-
GUS home in the heart Of Palm
Springs, a desert resort frequented
by Hollywood film stars and wealthy
Fasteners. With him were his
son and daughter-in-law, Mr.. ana
Mrs. Alvin Untermyer, who flew
here from New York 10 days ago.
Palm Springs for years had been
Mr.. Untermyer's winter residence.
With the coming Of cold weather In
the East. he would come here to
"sit in the sun and not worry" as
he put it.
He had not been as active in re-
cent years as formerly, although
periodically he came out with q
denunciation of German treat
ment of Jews and a prediction that
Hitler's policies would bring ruin.
He protested, as president of the
Non-sectarian Anti-Nazi League,
against German participation in
the New York Worlds Fair,
Champion of Labor.
He long had campaigned for
labor and the underdog, wherever
found, but, wealthy, INDUCED his
tastes for dapper dress. He seldom
was seen without an orchid in his
lapel.
Mr.. Untermyer, whose legal fees
sometimes ran into millions of dol
lars, had varied interest in the
world about him. He found equal
pleasure in raising rare flowers in
the hot house of his Westchester
estate and in arguing the ,city's
case for unification of New York's
subway systems.
He organized and headed the first
wide-scale boycott of German goods,
and at one time he called Secre-
tary Of State Hull "spineless" IN
the Governments attitude toward
Germany, and former German Am
bassador Luther q "quasi-propa-

Berlin, Paris and London between

A communique said the talks with
Count Ciano and II Duce were long

Mr.. Welles' plans to see the pontiff
on Monday, however, made diplo-
mats think the entire European sit

was presumed that Mr.. Welles would
see Luigi Cardinal Maglione, papal
secretary Of state, after his audience
with the Pope.

The American was silent on his
latest conversations, as he has been
throughout his tour.
The German Ambassador, Hans

the Foreign Ministry while Mr..
Welles and United States Ambassa-

with Count Ciano. The call was de-

It Is known, however, that Ger

Mussolini, discussed Mr.. Welles' trip.
Although there was no authori-
