Vatican Denies Polish
Hierarchy Signed Pact
with Red Government.
BY shs Asseeioisd Press

VATICAN CITY. April 1.-THE
Vatican press office denied today
that the Roman Catholic hierarchy
Of Poland has signed an agreement
with the Polish Communist gov
ernment. Warsaw announced such
q pact Saturday.
A Vatican press office statement
said nothing is known here of
any such agreement. The circum-
stances and contents Of the accord
In question Gas reported in Warsaw
dispatches) preclude any founda-
ton to the news"
Vatican sources pointed out that
the accord was announced after
Poland's leading Catholic prelate,
Adam Stefan Cardinal Sapieha,
had left the country. The cardi-
nal, now in Rome, refused COM
ment on reports of q Polish
church-state accord.
"Way Of Death" for Church.
A high Vatican source said that
is such q pact had been promul-
gated, it would indicate that the
Polish government had laid down
a way of death" for the church
there. This source. who holds the
title of canonical consultant of the
prewar Polish embassy at the Holy
See. questioned whether Catholic
bishops would sign such q pact.
The Polish government an
nouncement said three bishops had
signed an accord in which re-
ligious freedom in Poland was
promised in return for a church
pledge to fight enemies Of the
Warsaw regime.
The controlled Polish news
agency said the agreement was
signed by the suffragan bishop of
Warsaw. zygmunt Choromansky.
as secretary of the Council of
Bishops. and. two other bishops.
The Vatican source said a SIM
liar announcement was made by
the Communicated regime In
Hungary about q year ago, but
that 1t was later learned that the
Hungarian Catholic prelates had
not put their signatures to the
accord.
The three Polish bishops who
repeatedly signed the accord, said
the source. had in fact been
named to negotiate with the
Polish government on the accord.
But" he said. I'VE do not know
if they were given the right to
sign"
No Vatican-POlishA Accord.
The reported agreement, the
source here said. could never be
considered an accord between the
Vatican and the Polish govern
ment in any event.
In fact" he said. "the partial
terms we have seen treat the
Vatican as a third party. The
accord has been said to be a
'modus vivendi-way of life-but
it is my opinion that it is a 'modus
Morendi'-way of death"

Bipartisan Foreign
Policy Is Major Issue
In Lucas Campaign
by the Asseeioisd Press

Senator Lucas. Democrat, of
Illinois found himself trying to
keep foreign policy on a bipar-
tisan basis in the Senate today
while making it q major issue in
his campaign for reelection.
The Senate Democratic leader
told a party rally at Carbondale,
H., over the week end that he is
going to stand or fall" in his
bid for a new Senate term upon
the long and consistent record I
have made in the Senate on for
eign policy"
Senator Lucas lectured His Re-
publican opponent, former Rep
resentative Everett Dirksen-al-
though not by name-for jumping
from one side to the other" on
foreign issues. Mr.. DirkSen, who
supported the European Recovery
Program as member Of Con-
gress, now is criticizing it.
In the same speech, Senator
Lucas called for an end to par
tisan tactics and angry wrangling"
over foreign policy. He said Re-
publicans and Democrats alike
ought to get behind the con-
structive programs we have
launched for the salvation of q
free world"
AS one of those who isn't salts
ned with the bipartisan foreign
policy as it exists. Senator Wat
kins, Republican. of Utah. told a
reporter he hopes not only Sen
Ator Lucas, but other leading DEM
ocrats, make campaign issues of
their stand on international af-
fairs.
I'VE Republicans are willing to
go along on the things we think
are best for America, but the
Truman administration has bum
gled its handling of world affairs
and the people should have a
chance to get rid of bunglers,
Senator Watkins said.

Republican Policy Committee, has
said that a new statement of Re-
publican views may come out of

cope with interstate transmission
of information to bookies.
Senator Capehart promptly got
down to cases. He wanted to know
how many bookies are operating in
Denver.
Mayor Newton recalled that
Senator Capehart had said earlier
that mayors and police chiefs
know all about the bookies in their
cities. The mayor said with a
smile that he did not have as
much knowledge as the Senator
implied.
Senator Capehart commented
that although the bill under con-
sideration looks like good legisla-
tion, the Attorney General had
testified he did not know of any
Nation wide crime and the Mayor
had said he didn't know of any
bookies in Denver.
Maybe there isn't any of this
going on" Senator Capehart said,
drawing a laugh from the crowded
committee room.
Kansas City Mentioned.
When Senator Capehart wanted
to know why Denver could not
break up its own gambling. Mayor
Newton replied that the trans
mission of gambling information
is the basiso + bookie informa-
ton.
Il don't think any city could
have large enough police force
to cope with the problem itself" I"
Mayor Newton declared.
The crime problems of Kansas
City were touched on briefly to-
day when Senator Capehart
turned over to the subcommittee
letter from Charles r. Morphew,
sergeant-at-arms of the Kansas
City Council.
Mr. Morphew said there is q
condition z In Kansas City that
"theorizing will not correct" and
he urged the selection of q local
man as investigator for the COM
mittee. He suggested Maj. Chet
A. Keyes. the city auditor.
Senate Battle Expected.
The hearing got under way as
indications increased that there
may be a slam-bang fight on the
Senate floor over the question o1
who gets the job of inquiring into
Nation-w crime.
Minority Leader Wherry and
other Republican Senators were
seeking Democratic support for q
move to upset a compromise plan
that would take the job away from
rival regular committees and turn
it over to a special five-man group
selected by Vice President Barkley
Both the Commerce Committee
and the Judiciary Committee, OF
which Senator McCarran is chair
man, had proposed to take on the
chore. Majority Leader Lucas
worked out the compromise as a
means to keep those two groups
out of an open fight.
The Republican opposition to

and Donnell, Republican of Mis-
souri,. out of the picture. Senator

Gambling
CONTINUED From First Page.)

Of the news and. the printing of
the news is enough to insure that
it will have little or no value for
making book on horses.
Artificial Delay Necessary.
This time lag caused by the
printing process, he went on, does
not exist in radio or television
broadcasting. Hence, he said a
brief artificial time lag in broad
casting horse race gambling in
formation is necessary to frus-
trate its illegitimate use.
"We feel" he said, that only
the gambling interests or those
who stand to gain from the rela-
tionship of such broadcasts to
gambling. will hurt or complain. :"
Through this bill, he said, the
Federal Government would not
attack the problem of commercial
gambling "by sniping at the edges
where the gambling and betting
takes place, but strike directly at
the heart of transmission for
illegitimate use through interstate
telegraph and other trunk facili-
ties, an area which is beyond the
power of the States to reach and
Isquarely within the jurisdiction of
Congress.
Bribery" Is Problem.
Senator Mcfarland asked the
Attorney General If purchase of
official tolerance" which he called
"dignified term" for bribery, was
not involved in the picture.
Mr.. McGrath said he thought
local and State officials probably
would acknowledge that as one of
the problems.
Senator Capehart, Republican,
of Indiana brought up the ques-
ton of Nationwide crime syn
dicate when he asked the Attorney
General:
DO you know where we might
be able to get the name of the
head of the crime syndicate in
the United States" Mr.. McGrath
said he did not.
Senator Capehart told reporters
after the session he was sur
prised" that the Attorney General
would have no information on q
Nationwide crime syndicate.
Would Not Affect Special Events.
During the session Senator
Capehart wanted to know why
there should not be Federal legis-
lation to stop all paritmutuel bet
ting on horse racing. McGrath
said he thought it would be an
"encroachment on the preogatives
Of the State and probably uncon-
stitutional."
Senator Hunt. Democrat of Wy
oming. asked the Attorney Gen.
eral whether the bill would make
broadcast of the Kentucky Derby
illegal.
Certainly not" Mr.. McGrath
replied, explaining that periodic
broadcast Of special events were
distinctly permitted under the bill.
The subcommittee also heard
testimony from Mayor Quigg
Newton Of Denver, president of
the American Municipal Associa-
ton, and chairman of the Ator-
ney Generals Conference on Or
ganized Crime.
Mayor Newton told the subcom-
mittee that syndicated gambling
operations which are provocative
of other types of crime do not re-
spect the imaginary lines Of city
limits"
ALI Cities Are Vulnerable.

he said, can consider itself i'm

Co. of Washington in 1945 and
1916. The prosecution said it ex-
poets to prove he had large and
active account also In the Ma
tional Bank Of Commerce at San

Mr.. Murray said the alleged per-
juries were committed by Mara
gon after he had been put under
oath by Chairman Hoey to testi-
fy at closed session attended at

Maragon lied when he told the
Senators he did no business with

of molasses for the company un-
der the quota system in 1916. it
was said, and for this service re-
ceived $1,100 or $1,000.
The Government will show, it
was said. that Maragon aided the
efforts Of TranS-American Traders
to buy Government property In
1947 and 1948, and that he got

Maragon, 1t was said, also used
his influence in January, 1949. in
behalf of the Atlantic Marine
Salvage Co. of Milwaukee, Wis.
This company sought a contract
from the Maritime Commission to
salvage ore from sunken ship
off Key West, Fla. Maragon, it
was said, received no fee for this
effort.
The third count was outlined
to the jury before Judge Jennings

denial that he was on another
