PREMI over S ER,POPE IN ARGUMENT ON NEW RAGE Mussolini Makes Sharpest Statement Every Di - rected at Vatican FORLI, Italy, July 30.—Premier Benito Mussolini today replied per- sonally to Pope Pius who yesterday asserted in an address to students of the Catholic Action that the new Fascist race policy was adopted in imitation of the Nazi in Germany. Addressing Fascist officials here today, Premier Mussolini said: “You know, and everyone knows, that on the question of the new Fascist race, we will shoot straight. To say that Fascism has imitated anyone or anything is simplysabsurd.” The statement of the Premier is the sharpest yet directed at the Vatican and has caused uneasiness on the part of the Catholics. The Pope in his address to the students of the Catholic Action. which was publicly released by the Vatican City News Service, said “between the Catholic Action and the Fascist| Party there exists an incurable doc-| trinal divergence.” The Pope also criticized the new race policy which holds Jews do not belong to the Italian race.

Federal Departments Work Right on During Siz- zling Temperatures By PRESTON GROVER WASHINGTON, July 30. — Air- conditioning has become a handi- cap in this city. For years it has been the custom of most Federal Departments to dismiss their help on sizzling after- noons. It is still the practice in the ‘[older buildings to call it a day when | the thermometer begins batting the | pretty ones out of their seats. But | in the new buildings with air-con-| | ditioning there are no such after- | noons off.

The Spanish Loyalists in their surprise offensive on the Catalonian front, have also apparently halted reinforcements for the Insurgents being rushed from the Valencia front. The Loyalists have steadily ad- vanced during the past 48 hours on the Catalonian front although Franco ordered cutting of the dams on the Ebro River and tributaries. | This flood condition has worked to the advgntage of the Loyalists and to the detriment of the Insur- | gents. That the Loyalist drive is success- ful is evidenced by the fact that Gen. Pranco has withdrawn forces from the attack on Valencia to be rushed to the Catalonian Sector. The Insurgents continue intensive bombing activities on the Catalon-~ ian front.

The radiogram from the Meigs did not mention sighting any wreck- age from the flying boat which disappeared two days ago with six passengers and crew of nine aboard on the Guam-Manila flight. The radiogram from the Meigs said the coating of heavy oil was about 1,500 feet in ecircumference and was found directly on the course of the 26-ton clipper. Lifeboats from the transport col- lected samples to help determine whether the oil was from the plane. If the clipper went down there is little hope of finding any wreck- age as the oil patch lay over deep waters of the Pacific Ocean. Army and Navy officials announce that the search for the missing clipper with @ gigantic fleet. will continue for several days. STILL HAVE HOPES SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 30. —Officials of the headquarters of the Pan American hold hope that the oil found on the Pacific might have been dumped on the surface for an emergency landing and the clipper alighted safely, subsequent- ly is drifting at sea faster than the oil.
