DR.. and Mrs. Dun Plan Catholic Bishops Back
10 Worship Today al Proposal 10 Send Food
Washington Cathedral To Occupied Europe

Catholic bishops of the United
States have pledged their full
support to proposals that food be
sent now to relieve hunger in
Nazi-occupied Europe, the Ma
tional Catholic Welfare Confer
ence announced last night.
Such relief program has been
vigorously advocated by former
President Hoover and others in this
country, but the British Govern
ment has opposed any relaxation
OF the blockade on the grounds that
food shipments to Europe inevitably
would ease the Nazis' strained posi-
ton. President Roosevelt has indi-
Gated sympathy with the idea but
questioned its practicability.
The bishops position was made
known by Msgr. Michael J. Ready,
general secretary of the conference.
He made public letter to the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee
indorsing specifically a resolution
by Senators Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa and Taft. Republican, of Ohio,
which would direct the State De-
partment to seek cooperation of
the British, Swedish and Swiss
Governments with the Red Cross
and other relief organizations in
shipping and distributing the food.
Addressed to Chairman Ebert
Thomas Of subcommittee, consid-
ering the resolution, Msgr. Ready's
letter said the Administrative Board
OF Archbishops and Bishops had
directed him to place on record
their support of it.
For the past three years." his
letter continued, "the bishops of
the church in the United States
have endeavored to bring every pos
ible help to the distressed peoples
OF occupied countries. To that end,
financial help was offered to the
Holy Father, Pope Plus XII, who
through the resources of the Holy
See, was able from time to time
to send some aid to the suffering
women and children of these coun-
tries.
"The bishops believe that the re-
lief proposed in the resolution will
not only fulfill our duty in charity
to our suffering brethren but also,
by its spontaneity, emphasize the
unity OF the people of the United
States with ale brave citizens of
the United Nations, who have suf-
fered so long the burdens of our
common struggle against aggres-
SION"
Mr.. Hoover, eontending the pro-
posal is practicable, told the Thomas
Subcommittee at recent hearings
that the food could be picked up
in Southern Hemisphere ports" by
Swedish ships, and that the ex-
pense could be betrayed by Belgian.

said 1t could be so distributed under

that relief shipments have been

Senators Say Patton
Promotion Depends
On Future Conduct

BY the Associated Press.
1t. Gen. George S. Patton, jr., will
have to prove by future good con-
duct that he deserves advancement
before the Senate Military Affairs
Committee approves his promotion
to the permanent rank of major
general, members said yesterday.
Unverified reports reached the
Capitol that President Roosevelt
may withdraw Gen. Patton's NOM
ination because Of his upbraiding Of
two soldiers in Sicily, one of whom
he cuffed, but most Senators be-
lieved the Chief Executive would
stand behind Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hower's decision 10 let Gen. Patton
of with a dressing down and the
latter's apologies 70 the 7th Army.
There was strong evidence that
majority OF the committee also
would like TO mark the case closed,
but doesn't know how to let 60 OF
1t gracefully. The members have
been subjected to n landslide Gf tel
egrams and letters from parents
expressing concern that their sons
may be subjected to the sort Of
treatment Gen. Patton dealt out to
the two victims of battle nerves.
Slow Procedure Expected.
For that reason, the committee
Is expected to proceed slowly in its
handling of the Presidents recon-
mendation that Gen. Patton be pro-
NOTED from his permanent rank of
colonel. In addition, Gen. Patton's S
name is on list with l3 other pro-
motions being held up by the COM
mittee until It learns who is to
succeed Gen. George c. Marshall
as chief Of staff when he takes over
the Allied European command.
Chairman Reynolds said the COM
mittee will meet this week to con-
slider Gen. Eisenhower report on
the Patton affair. 1t may also have
at that time the War Department s
reply to the embarrassing ques-
tion as to why an equivocal state
ment of the Patton case, amounting
to denial, was issued originally
from Allied headquarters in Algiers.
The committee also wants to know
II Gen. Patton was involved in ad-
ditional, similar incidents, and If
there is anything in the actions OF

Senator Holman, Republican. of

with Gen. Eisenhower's decision
unless new evidence developed.

BY DON S. WARREN.

In a move to settle a century-old
dispute and eliminate delicate
questions and possibly damaging
doubts as to police and court juris-
diction over mo mans land" the
House early this week is expected
to approve the Randolph bill fixing
the boundary line between the Dis
trict and Virginia.
The stage was set for action when
House Majority Leader Mccormack
labeled the measure noncontrover-
sial and listed 1t with two others
slated for action in the House to-
morrow or Tuesday. The boundary
bill was reported without an objec-
ton last Monday by the House Dis
trict Committee. The formal report
filed by Chairman Randolph shows
that spokesmen for the affected
jurisdictions are urging its passage
Virginia Approves.
These include Attorney General
Biddle, for the United States; Com
missioner John Russell Young, for
the District: Thomas S. Settle, for
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, and Repre-
sentative Smith, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia, who had consulted with State
and Arlington County authorities
The Virginia Legislature in March
1912, approved a measure necessary
to motivate the plan now before
Congress.
Alexandria officials have suggested
one change to limit concurrent
jurisdiction with the United States
over the citys pierhead area, but
since its approval would require new
action by the Virginia Legislature
and delay the solution, other au-
thorities urged the question be
treated separately later, if essen
tial.
New High Water" Mark.
Generally speaking, the bill would
set as the boundary line the present
hlgh-Water mark on the Virginia
shore of the Potomac-instead of
along the now uncertain and still
disputed high-water mark OF 1871,
which In places runs we'll inland
cutting through buildings of the
Washington National Airport.
In other words, the District gives
up the territory dargely owned now
by the United States) between the
present Virginia shore line and
what was the high-water mark 1872
years ago, before natural and man
made changes created land of legal
doubt.
The bill in no way affects prop
erty rights as they now exist, the
experts say. and gives jurisdiction
to Virginia and Federal courts in
virginia, excluding District courts
from the picture.
The measure is designed also to
prevent issues from arising in the
future by reason of changes in the

shore line, Chairman Randolph ex-
planned, for it also provides that
whenever the shore line may be
altered by fills or dredging, or by
alluvion or erosion, then the boun-
dairy shall follow the new mean
highwater mark. Similar provision
Is made to cover changes in the
pierhead line along the Alexandria
waterfront.
Boundary Described.
The boundary line is described as
beginning "at a point where the
northwest boundary Of the District
Of Columbia intercepts the high
water mark on the Virginia shore
of the Potomac River and following
the present mean highwater mark;
thence in a southeasterly direction
along the Virginia shore of the
Potomac River to Little River, along
the Virginia shore of Little River to
Boundary Channel, along the Vir-
ginia side of Boundary Channel to
the main body of the Potomac River,
along the Virginia side of the Poto-
mac River across the mouths of all
tributaries affected by the tides of
the river to Second street, Alexan-
dria, Va, and from Second street
to the present established pierhead
line, and following said pierhead
line to its connection with the Dis
trict of Columbia Maryland boun-
Diary line"
AL the territory lying between
this line and the mean highwater
mark as it was January "a, 179l,
is ceded to and declared henceforth
to be within the boundaries, juris-
diction and sovereignty Of Virginia,
provided only that concurrent juris-
dictlon over the area Is reserved to
the United States.
Biddle's View.
Attorney General Biddle said: at
Is of the highest Importance, from
the standpoint of the enforcement
of the criminal law, that a definite
decision be reached in regard to this
matter, since at present the enforce
menc of the criminal laws is ham,
pered, and at times even frustrated,
by reason of the uncertainty as to
what courts have jurisdiction over
criminal offenses committed within
the disputed area. = It is Of
vital Importance for the United
States to be vested with jurisdiction
over these areas in order that it may
have authority to preserve the peace
and enforce the criminal law. The
result would be accomplished by the
pending legislation"
Representative Smith wrote to
Chairman Randolph November IL
saying he had letters from the at
torney general of Virginia, the Com
monwealth's attorney Of Arlington
County and the Mayor of Alexandria
approving the bill.

Colombia, aroused over sinking O
a second vessel by a German sub
marine, today recognized a "stat,
OF belligerency" as existing between
Colombia and Germany, and Actinl

diately began considering defense
measures.
While the government made Il
clear it was not asking an actua
declaration Of war against the
Reich, Foreign Minister Carlo.
Lozano y Lozano and Minister o1
Government Alberto Lleras Cam
argo indicated Colombia's partici.
patton at the side of the United

passive.
Recognition OF a state of bellig.

nouncement that the schooner Ruby
had been sunk with three lives lost
IN the Caribbean November II by q
Nazi submarine, the second Colon
blan ship sunk in a year. Six lives
were lost in the sinking of the
schooner Resolute, also in the Car

Won't Send Forces Abroad.
The senate today approved the
governments stand on a state of
belligerency, and Lozano said Col
ombla did not intend to send troops
or naval forces abroad. Colombia s
position, he added, was similar to
BraZlls in respect to belligerency
status.
Lozano declared the Ruby had
been attacked at midnight and that
the submarine had machine -gunned
creWmen and passengers in lifeboats.
He said Colombia would protest to
Germany, as she did in the case
of the Resolute, but again expected
no answer and, therefore, had de-
, cided to take measures to protect
the national dignity.
The senate was so aroused that
large bloc of the liberal majority
was ready to pass resolution "di-
recting" Acting President Echandia
to declare war; but during lengthy
debate, Lozano and Lleras explained
the government preferred to act
slowly.
