The new English translation
was prepared by liturgists from
the United States and other
countries.
The move for extending the
use Of the vernacular here has
been under way for longer than
three years. Before that, the
Episcopal Committee Of the Con-
fraternity Of Christian Doctrine
had been repeatedly asked to
petition Rome requesting a sub
stitution Of English for Latin so
people witnessing or receiving
the sacrament would have more
knowledge Of what 1t was all
about"
Petition Presented.
Three years ago. the petition
was presented to the hierarchy's
general meeting at Catholic
University by the Most Rev.
Edwin v. O'Haras Archbishop Of
Kansas City and chairman Of
the Confraternity's Episcopal
Committee.
The bishops approved the
project and an authorized Eng
lish translation was submitted
to the hierarchy's annual meet
ing later that year.
Several corrections were recon-
mended, and a revised transla-
tion was again submitted in
1852. Last year q petition was
sent to Rome through the
Apostolic Delegate. It went to
the Sacred Congregation Of
Rites, which, on June 8. 1854.

Merits of Rival

Grounding rivalry broke out on

a Wisconsin member disputing a
Pennsylvanian's claim to the un-

Representative Gavin, Repub-
lican. of Pennsylvania touched it
of by announcing a telegram
from the Punxsutawney (PaD
Grounding Club breaking the
news that the local prophet
emerged at 1928 am.
Somewhat caustically, Repre-
sentative Davis, Republican. OF
Wisconsin rose with counter
claim which derided Mr.. Gavin's
ridiculous championing of an
illegitimate grounding"

WouId-Be Bandit
FIees as Store Clerk
Hints al Police Trap

A woman clerk frightened a
would-be holdup man out Of
an ice cream store yesterday
by glancing toward the rear Of
the store and saying:
"You better get out of here,
this place is loaded"
1t was another result Of the
recent police policy of planting
officers in stores likely to be
held up, even though no police
men were in the store at the
time.
Miss Mary Govan. As, 721 Del
aware avenue S.W., and Mrs.
Alethia Adamson. 121 Tenth

the bandit came into the Highs
store at 1880 North Capitol street
about 4::30 pm.
He pushed a note, penciled on
a scrap Of paper torn from a
magazine. across the counter. 1t
said, Get all the cash."
Mrs. Adamson said, us this a
stickup?"
The man, his hand in his
pocket. nodded.
You don't look like the type
to 60 around sticking people up"
said Mrs. Adamson. You get
out Of here"
II need the money" the man
mumbled.
Miss Govan said later, II just
looked at him. I don't know if I
looked like his mother or what,
but he didn't do anything, just
looked back at me-"
Meanwhile, Mrs. AdamSon con-
tinued to berate the man, finally
limiting that policemen were sta
toned in the rear of the store.
He left.
The women described him as
in his 20s, colored. about S feet
4 inches tall. rather neatly
dressed in a blue-black overcoat
with the collar put up to conceal
his face. He wore a brown hat
pulled down over his eyes.
There was about $12 in the
store at the time.

lieve pressures for still higher
