) 9 SCENCE ASSALE A RGN BASS Stand of Anglican Lord . Bishop -Denounced at Meet- " Ing of Catholic Women. ® 'The recent stand of Right Rev. Wil- Jam Barnes, Anglican Lord Bishop of Rirmingham, that the church should keep in. step with the findings of #ciefice and particularly with the teachings of Darwin, was emphatically condemned by Right Rev. Joseph Schrembs, D. D., Bishop of Cleveland, at the opening meeting of the Na.| tional Council of Catholic Women this morning at the Mayflower Hotel. The intezrity of family life,” he inued, “can be accomplished only by adherence to the teachings and practices of our Catholic faith. After rinciples work themselves out into institutions, and therefore, cor- rect Christian principles are the only in correct institutions. . he con- ‘{inued, “‘there was a statement by the Tord Bishop of Birmingham to the | effec at we must keep Pprosres: with sience, and that in particular | the scient principles of Darwin, | DROWSY FOLK Proves to Be A strange beast. with fiery eyes,| slinking across Twenty-second street | near R early yesterday morning, pre- cipitated the first wild animal hunt the fashionable Sheridan Circle sec- tion has known since that neighbor- hood was a forest on the bank of Rock Creek. There were no hounds to ride to, nor lilt of the bugle to urge them on, but what the impromptu huntsmen lacked in traditional trappings they made up for with their sturdy lungs and bare hands—to the dismay of distinguished slumberers, the amaze- ment of milkmen and police and the temporary sorrow of one venturesome possom.

The session this morning was opened \vith an address by the national presi- dent, Mrs, Arthur F. Mullen. The purpose of the National Council was| outlined by Mrs. Mullen as an en-| deavor to bring about a better under- standing of the Catholic attitude on many questions confronting the world today: to aid in the solution of nany practical problems confront- ing on every side, and to act. ms a distributing agency for the infor- mation that is obtained by research relative to these questions. In the past seven years, Mrs. Mullen said, the progress made by the National Council has been slow. In that time, however, valuable services have been rendered by the council in co-operating In the preserving of the integrity of family life, in safeguarding the Ameri- ran tradition with regard to freedom ot education, and in broadcasting the truth about conditions in Mexico. Committees on credentials, nomina- tions, electjohs and resolutions were appointed. Reports were heard from the secretary, Miss Anna Dill Gamble; the treasurer, Mrs. Agnes Bacon, and from the executive secretary, Miss ‘Agnes G. Regan. > A resohition was prepared by the eonvention addressed to Pope Pius, wvhich read: “The National Council of Catholic Women in convention, as- sembled here, offer to our holy father our filial devotion and beg your holiness’s blessing on our members and our work.” Public Schools Criticized. The failure of the public schools to | educate the religious and moral out- look of youth, divorce and race suicide were held to be the underlying causes of a widespread slackening of morals that is menacing the country at this time, by Rev. Dr. Peter’ Guilday, pro- fessor of church history at Catholic “niversity and secretary of the Amer- jcan Catholic Historical the meeting last night. He said that the church will fight to the finish for its educational liberty that has been maintained by church- men since the middle ages. Parochial schools are supported by the Catholic Church, he declared. because the public schools have failed to educate the| hearts of the young as well as their minds and bodies. “We do not believe the public school system is complete.” he sald. ‘Statistics will show that there are more than 71,000,000 persons in the United States who do not know such a day as Sunday exists, as far as its ohservance is concerned. Duty to God 1s forgotten by them.” Opened With Pontifical Mass. The convention was formally opened yesterday morning at Catholic Uni- Versity with pontifical high mass, cele- brated by Most Rev.

WILBUR IS SLENT INMAGRUDER CASE Secretary Is Not Yet Ready to Announce Course. Congress Blamed. Secretary Wilbur is not yet ready to announce the course the Navy De- partment is to follow in the case of Rear Admiral Thomas P. Magruder, whose published criticism of naval ad- ministration threatens to involve de- partmental officials in a serious row with the incoming Congress. Both Secretary Wilbur and Admiral Edward W. Eberle, chief of naval operations, are making a close analysis of the charges contained in the maga- zine article, and disciplinary action, it any is to be taken, will be deter- mined hy the results of this inquiry. It is felt in the department that the Magruder charges are atmed at the department as a whole rather than at individual officials. Uncertainty in Policy. That the “censorship” rule that | governs the publication of articles by perspns in the Navy is subject to varying interpretations is admitted by high officials, but it was declared that the real intent of the rule is well known. Without intending to ‘“‘gag” the rule seeks to have all ma- terial for publication concerning the Navy submitted or filed with the de- partment for possible correction. But the rule does not state specifically whether the article should be sub- mitted hefore it iz published, which has resulted in a number of officers being subjected to discipline in the past. In view of the uncertainty that hinges about the policy, suggestions were made today that the rule should state, beyond any doubt, the time limit in which such articles should be filed | with the department. Mr. Wilbur, thus far, has not expressed himselt on this point. Laid to Congress.
