Mrs. Roosevelt, in her state

The statements, both issued by
the chancery Office of the New
York archdiocese, came only few
days after Mayor O'Dwyer had ex-
pressed hope that mutual friends
OF Mrs. Roosevelt and the cardinal
would try to reconcile their differ
ences. The Mayor said he did not
believe that any position taken
by Mrs. Roosevelt lin the case of
children or adults would be as a
result of bigotry."
The cardinal assailed Mrs.

D. C..Bureau Opposes
Sale Of Protection
For Te|eyision Tubes

The District Department of In
surance, with the cooperation of
the Better Business Bureau, has
discouraged attempts by several
television dealers to sell the public
protection" against failure OF
television tubes, according to the
departments yearly report.
There is reason presently, how
ever. to believe that trouble from
this particular source will recur, -
the report said. 1T is already a
problem in several other cities.
The insurance business. it was
explained. is essentially business
of selling promises, and the law
intends that those who engage
in it will be at all times financially
able to perform their contractural
obligations.
This does not affect dealers
guarantee of the quality of his
product, and the law does not
prohibit contracting for the per-
formance of legitimate services.
the report pointed out.
1t added, however, that "a con-
tract by whatever name it may
he called, that constitutes the as
sumption of risks dependent upon
fortuitous events beyond the con-
troll of either party is usually a
contract of insurance. and the
law is intended to regulate the
making of such contracts and
to protect the public against
their sale by unscrupulous or
financially irresponsible persons. -
The report indicated that there
is more life insurance in force in
the District than in any one of
90 States. and more life insur-
'ance companies here than in any
one of 80 States. .F
During the last fiscal year, 1t
was reported. the department
collected in taxes. fees and
penalties. $1,674,784-the largest
amount it has collected in any
fiscal year. 1t exceeds by more
than s127,0o0 the amount COL.
lected in the year ended June
30, 1913, and by more than $780,
900 the amount collected five
years ago, according to the
figures.
Besides collecting revenue, the
department administers the in
surance laws designed to protect
the public, provides reasonable
standards for wording of insur-
ance contracts. and provides for
regulation of certain insurance
rates and the establishment and
maintenance of actuarily COM
puted reserves for life insurance.

Cardinals Statement
Attacked by Group

The organization called Prot
estants and Other Americans
United for Separation of Church
and State declared yesterday that
Cardinal Spellman's latest dec
laration on Federal aid to schools
means that "the Roman Catholic
Church is out to get all it can
from the Government at the tax
payers expense
The Cardinal. in a statement
issued IN New York City Friday
night. said the Catholics are not
asking for general support of re-
ligious schools but seek public
funds solely for auxiliary serv-
ices of the parochial institutions.
Such auxiliary services commonly
include bus transportation, pur-
chase of non-religious textbooks,
and health services. The organ
ization statement said in part:
He lthe CardinaD now finds
that public opinion is so pro-
nounced in favor of the Ameri-
can principle of separation of
church and State that he con-
cedes that it would be uncon-
stitutional for either Federal or
State Governments to underwrite
the major costs of maintaining
parochial SCHOOLS. He reaffirms,
however. that the Roman Cath
olic Church is out to get all it
can from the Government at the
taxpayers expense.
The Cardinal forthwith shocks
the country with the startling
statement, we do not think it
should be left to each State to
decide for itself whether or not
to distribute Federal funds in a
discriminatory way. This means
that since more than 80 States
prohibit the use of public funds
for bus transportation to parochial
schools, and A States prohibit
the use of public funds for the
purchase Of free text books for
parochial schools, that he wants
to utilize the Federal Government
to override the rights of the States
reserved to them in the tenth
amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution.'

3-Day Malaria Cure
Reported Discovered
In Prison Experiment
BY the Associoted Press

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-The Chica-
60 Herald American reported to-
night that a "three-day perma-
nent cure" with one pill has been
discovered for malaria.
The newspaper, in a copyrighted
story, said the discovery resulted
from a $7,0O0,000 Federal project
involving experiments with 300
convicts at Illinois Stateville
Prison as malaria guinea pigs
The tests have been going on
,18 months, the Herald american
said.
Credited by the newspaper for
the discovery are DR.. Alt Sven
Alving University of Chicago
medical expert. and DR.. John
Arnold. an Army scientist. They
directed the experiments at State
vile.
Asked about the Herald-Amer-
ican report, DR.. Arnold refused to
confirm or deny that a quick cure
had been found. He added: If
you want verificati ton. be at the
American College of Physicians
convention at Indianapolis in
November
Report Predicted.
In its article, the Herald-Amer-
ican said a report on the drug
will be made at this convention.
Warden Joseph E. Ragen OF
Stateville refused comment. DR.
Alving is vacationing in Wenat-
chez. Wash.
Still unnamed, the drug Is
known only as No. 1922, the
newspaper said.
1T was indicated the three day
malaria cure will be put on the
market by May, 1850. after the
Federal Pure Food and Drug Di-
vision adds it's stamp of approval,
the Herald American said.
The Herald american was in
formed a single dose of the new
drug in pill form will dissipate
the malaria aff1iction in three
days.
Tests in Final Stage.
state prison officials disclosed
the Government prison expert
mentS are in their final stage
with 25 convicts hospitalized with
intense fever today as the result
of malaria bites given them on
July 27.'
The newspaper article. by
Gladys Erickson, said each con-
vict submitted voluntarily to
several bites from the deadly
anopheles species of Georgia bred
female mosquitoes ="
Such mosquitoes were described
by the Herald American as the
only carriers of malaria as dead
ly as the Far Eastern jungle in
sects whose bites often we're fatal
to American troops during World
War H.
Actually. the malaria expert
ments at Statesville began in 1914
when AS convicts volunteered to
serve as "guiena pigs"
Among them was Nathan Leo
pold. serving a 199-year term for
the brutal killing Of young Bobby
Franks. one of the most sensa-
tional crimes of the 20's.
Many Convicts ParOled.
Many of the convicts who par
ticipated in the tests either won
paroles for their aid or are being
considered for paroles.
The State Parole Board still has
Leopold's application under con-
sideration.
Last March IS DR.. Arnold dis
closed four convicts had died Of
malaria during the tests and IS
others had become seriously ill.,
He also said then that three
drugs capable of treating malaria
had been discovered during the
experiments, but no quick cure
for the disease ever has been an
