VATICAN CITY, Dec. 24-(R
-Thirty-two new Cardinals, in
cludins four from the United
States, six from Latin America
and one from Canada. have been
named by Pope Plus XII. They
will receive the red hats emble-
matte Of their office In Rome
Feb. 10 at q consistory Of the
S acred College of Cardinals.
which now will number 20 men,
bers.
The four new United States
members will be Archbishop
Francis ]. Spellman Of New
York, Archbishop John L. Glen
non of st. Louis, Archbishop
Samuel A. Stritch of Chicago and
Archbishop Edward Mooney OF
Detroit, q Vatican announce
ment said yesterday.
At present. the only living
Cardinal Is Dennis Cardinal
Dougherty of Philadelphia.
TO EXPLAIN SIGNIFICANCE
The Pope is expected to ex.
plain the significance Of the con-
vocation of the consistory in a
reply today to the Cardinals
Christmas greetings. The Papal
address will be broadcast to the
world at II am. e am. E.S.T)
The four new United States
Cardinals, together with Cardin-
al Dougherty, will give that
country its largest representation
on the college. The United States
has never before had more than
four members.
Archbishop Spellman has been
promoted to be a probable choice
for Secretary of State at the
Vatican.
Detroit and st. Louis will be
represented in the College for
the first time. st. Louis will be
the westernmost U. S. city ever
to receive a Cardinalate.
BREAKS TRADITION
The new appointments broke
with the tradition that the ma
jority of the College be Italians.
Only four of the 80 new Car
d;nals are Italians, thus bring
ing the total Italian membership
of the 70-man College to only
%.
In the past the Italian major
ity has been eliminated on sew
eral occasions by deaths and
other factors, but the number
has never been at such a low
ratio as will prevail in the new
consistory.
Latin America, which at pre-
sent has one Cardinal, will be
represented by seven in the new
College. Canada, which now has
one, will be represented by two.
CITE COMPARATIVE YOUTH
An unusual aspect Of tn e
Pope's appointments was the
comparative youth of some Of
the new members. The youngest,
Monsignor Bernard Griffi n,
Archbishop of Westminster, Eng
land, is only As, and Monsignor
Norman Gilroy, Archbishop Of
Sydney. Australia, is only 40.
Archbishop Glennon, 80, is the
oldest of the new appointees.
Because of the war, the call
ing of consistory had been long
delayed. The last consistOry was
called June Is, 1885, by Pope
Plus XI, when he brought the
membership of the College to
50, the customary figure.
Among the new Cardinals
were one from Australia and one
from Portuguese Africa. This
will mean that for the first time
ir history all six continents will
be represented in the College.
Precedent also was shattered
by the naming of a Chinese pre-
late. Monsignor Tomasso Tien,
titular Bishop of Puspe and APP
ostolic Vicar of Tsingtao, will be
the first non-Caucasian Cardinal.
LIST APPOINTEES
The new appointees, besides
those from the United States, as
announced by Osservatore Ro-
mano, the Vatican newspaper
are:
Canada: Monsignor ia m e s
Charles MacGuigan, Archbishop
Of Toronto.

MUSIC CAR ORDERS
BAN ON BROADCAST
OF FOREIGN MUSIC

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-P)-James
C. Petrillo, president of the AL
American Federation Of Musicians,
has banned the broadcast by
American radio stations of must
cal programs originating in any
foreign counties except Canada,
effective Dec. 81.
Petrillo announced the order,
which he said was not new, was
being reinvoked ''to protect the
American musician against foreign
competition"
Before the war, the musicians
leader declared, there was an ''un-
Outstanding" between the ATM and
domestic radio stations that the
broadcast of foreign musical pro-
grams would be halted, but he
added the AIM waived its OBJ
'iections'' to network musical
broadcasts emanating from coun-
ties during the war.
Petrillo said the order was is
sued because Through interna-
tional short wave radio a foreign
musician could displace an Amerl-
cans services without entering the
United States"

DREDGING BEGINS
IN RIVER CHANNEL

Maintenance and restoration
dredging of the Cape Fear river
channel from Wilmington to the
Southport bar was begun yester-
day by the U. S. Engineers dredge
Huston.
The Talcott, another govern
ment pipeline dredge, is due to
join the Huston today in the work
on the project which calls for the
maintenance of the channel at
30-foot depth and 300-foot width.
Original plans called for the
beginning of dredging opera
lions week ago, Immediately
after the arrival from Philadelphia
of the Huston, but the dredge de-
veloped boiler trouble and was I'M
able to start work.
The two dredges assigned to the
Wilmington district for completion
of the channel dredging, involving
the removal of 1,322,000 cubic
yards of material, will return to
their home districts upon COM
pletion of the work here, it was
said.
Yesterday, two dredges were ac-
tive in the Wilmington area. One
dredge, belonging to the American
Dredging company of Philadelphia,
was at work on the entrance chan
mel between the Cape Fear and
Brunswick rivers for the huge, 500
ship lay-up basin for surplus ships
of the Merchant Marine.
When the Talcott joins the other
two dredges, projects calling for
the removal Of 10,92c 1000 cubic
yards of material from the Cape
Fear and Brunswick rivers will
be underway.
No estimate has been made by
U. S. Engineers as to the time
which will be required to com
plete the channel dredging, but
officials of the North Carolina
Shipbuilding company, acting az
agents for the U. S. Maritime
commission in the lay-up basin pro;
ject, have said work in the basin
itself will require 10 months.

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 26. Up
Singer Bing Crosby is in his usual
good health, in spite of persistent
rumors to the contrary, his broth
er, Larry Crosby, said today.

lance today" said Larry. He was
feeling fine. He's in New York on
business, and hasn't been near a
doctor for three months. I suppose

months ago, after finishing his lat

a Santa Monica hospital for a
check-up on arthritis. He'll be home
in a few days"
