must do more than a singing of SONGS

must take our christianity rio h

Just as, in the church, all races and
nationalities should lose their group

melting pot, and become one body
OF anxious and enthusiastic worship

all PHILOSOPHERS, creeds, dogmas, and
racisms lose their Identities in chris

said, Mrs Dickinson wrote: You

You know he has been i'll. His car
was damaged but is being repaired
now. I saw a few of his family

Mr.. McNally said that meant that
the destroyer Shaw had been dam
aged, was being repaired and that
1t would be back in action soon.
AS postscript to the letter, Mr.
McNally said Mrs. Dickinson wrote
Mother wanted to 60 to Louville

The United States attorney said
that referred to the cruiser Louis

Dickinson could not get any infor-

Doll Woman Faces Sentence
OF 10 Years for Code Letter
Second Indictment
Charging Espionage
Is Dismissed
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 23.-Mrs. Vel
valee Dickinson, an antique doll
dealer, pleaded guilty yesterday in
Federal Court to a charge of violat-
ing the wartime censorship law by
sending coded letter to South
America letter containing in
formation about naval vessels hid
den in obscure phrases.
AS she pleaded guilty in a weak
voice, Judge Stephen S. Chandler,
jr., dismissed a second indictment
charging her with espionage, con-
viction on which could have meant
the death penalty. She faces a
maximum sentence on August IA Of
10 years In prison and a fine OF
$4,000.
United States Attorney James B.
M. McNally said he had asked dis
missal of the espionage indictment
because the Governments case was
highly circumstantial in nature"
since, "in the absence of confed-
crates of the defendant, who are
now in Japan" Mrs. Dickinson prob
ably would claim the letter men,
toned in that indictment was writ
ten by her husband, who died in
1943.
/ Mr.. McNally said the censorship in
dictment grew out of an investiga-
ton of letter addressed to Sonora
Inez Lopez de Molinali in Buenos
Aires. 1t failed to reach its destina-
ton and was returned to the in
scribed address of the sender which
