EXPERIMENTAL WEDDINGS ARE REJECTED UTTERLY Document of 16,000 Words Touches Sanctity of Vows for First Time in 50 Years. By the Associated Press. VATICAN CITY, January 8—Birth gontrol, trial marriage and divorce were seathingly condemned today in an en- cyclical of Pope Pjus XI reafirming the Catholic doctrine of the sanctity of matrimony. It was the first such ex- pression of the Holy See on the theme in 50 years. ‘The encyclical, containing 16,000 ‘words, drew upon the full sources of ecclesiastical authority for its precepts, which, mandatory on the faithful, the Pontiff said he hoped to see accepted by all men. He expressed himself as follows: Birth Control—Those practicing birth control the Pontiff describes as “branded with the guilt of a grave erime.” Abortion is termed “murder.” Divorce—The age-old Catholic doc- trine of the indissolubility of marriage for any reason whatsoever is reaffirmed. Companionate marriage — Experi- mental marriage of any sort the Pontiff utterly condemns. Marriage—Its _sacred, it eharacter is reaffirmed by the Holy Father, who lists its blessings as chil- dren, conjugal fidelity and honorable obedience to matrimonial obligations. Modern woman—She owes obedience to her husband, but not at the sacrifice of dignity or to the point of obeying unreasonable requests. Sex eaunm;dm Vatican &?n demns “exaggeral physiological edu- cation” although maintaining that the basis of happy or unhappy married life is laid to preparation during youth for matrimony. sununuHm o human agency has . He advised, however, that persans to whom sterilization would be applicable not be married. “Against Law of Nature.” of the physically unfit proclaimed to be against the law’ God. The unfit, the by Christ our Lord by whom nature was Tedeemed,” the Ent declares: “These laws cannot be subject to any human decrees or to any pact, even of the spouses themselves.” St. Augustine Quoted. The words of St. Augustine are quoted to put forward that of all the of ma the child holds , the Pontiff said, . . the Encyclical states, “ children with joy and gratitude from the hand of God, will regard them as a talent committed to their charge by God not only to be employed for their own advantage or for that of an earthly commonwealth, but to be restored to God with interest on the day of reckon- ing.” The second blessing of matrimony, the Pontiff says, is that of conjugal honor in the mutual fidelity of husband and wife, and the words of St. Augus- tine again are quoted that the mar- riage rights may not be denied by either of the parties to each other nor per- mitted to any third person. Citing the words of the apostle, “Let ‘women be subject to their husbands as to the Lord, because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church,” the Pontiff denies that this enjoins obedience l“l) her husband’s it TRADE WIND IS HELD OVER IN BERMUDA Transatlantic Flyers Awaiting Re- pairs and Good Weather—Will Be Entertained.

The President is spending a vaca- tion at Acapulco, and the news gld not reach him until yester- ay.

BY OWEN L. SCOTT. Special Dispatch to The Star. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., January 8.—To- day the American Red Cross is keeping from hunger, 30,000 Arkansas farm families, totaling 150,000 individuals, compared with 21,000 on January 1. So rapidly are appeals for assistance mounting that responsible executive heads of the Red Cross estimate that by February 1 they will be- caring for 50,000 families involving 250,000 indi- viduals. [ Requests for help have been received from 74 of the State's 75 counties, with destitute families estimated at from 150 to 2,500 in each county. Will Need $22,000,000. The State-Federal Agricultural Exten- sion Service, after a careful investiga- tion conducted by county agricultural agents, advises that 114,249 - Arkansas farm families will need financial fi:nl a crop this ing. The servi estimates that loans will have to average $197 per family, or & total of about $22,000,000. Dr. C. W. Garrison, for 17 years head of the State Health Department, said figures are considered more eloquent in telling the nm—ya::l the dis~ aster caused by last Summer's this hardest hit of affected States than any quibbling over the extent of the minor manifestation of an exist- condition that occurred wi a p of farmers got excited at Eng- find, Ark. last Saturday. . At that _in England, the Red Cross pro- rations for 500 men, according to to others without req blanks. In its effort to meet the problem of destitution through this State and in Eastern Oklahoma, the Red Cross has acted in more than one situation that resembled in some features the demon- stration at England, 20 miles from here. Red Cross Report Typical. On Christmas eve Albert Evans, dis- aster expert of the Red Cross, while at his home in St. Louis for the holiday, received a wire from the chapter in St. Prancis County telling him that hundreds of le were hungry there. Mr. Evans wm that he would meet the committee at 7:30 o'clock Christ- mas morning.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 8-—Cali- fornia grape producers came forward today with a plan they said would jar the country's bootleggers and at the ame time benefit 150,000 persons and “help to save the $350,000,000 grape in- | dustry from financial disaster.” The plan is contained in a booklet circulated by Fruit Industries, Ltd., a Government sponsored co-operative. The booklet implies Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, former prohibition prose- cutor for the Department of Justice, became counsel for Fruit Industries, | Ltd., to battle the bootlegger. ‘The booklet points out that the Vol- stead law does not prohibit fruit juices in the home. It urges the support of the legal method of obtaining ,r:fiz | beverages, both for the benefit of ‘mpe industry in relieving the surplus production problem, and as a means of taking the profit out of illicit traffic in alcoholic beverages, The plan includes utilization of part of the surplus grape crop in canned and .| concentrated juices. The bookiet says: “The fulfillment of the new plan will save a $350,000,000 industry from finan- cial disaster. -And in doing that, there will be vast human benefits, continued and new employment of scores of thou- sands of men and women, the redemp- tlon of thousands of farm homes which n:‘ lt;fiuu;::" with ;;g-:::cmn by over- wl g age debts, a- ton of an American standard of lvin throughout a great State, the help of law e?!orumen:' through of present sources of supply to m?un and racketeers, pncl.&nl proof the feasibility of the Federal farm rellef and the bringing to almost ;l & health-gi! del‘lzlau toe:‘. prod- uct, now for the made avall- able the year-around.” WASHINGTON, SENATE EXPECTED 10 ASK REFURN OF SMITH NOMINATION Power Commission Head May Be Hit in Vote, Possibly Tomorrow. PRESIDENT’S COMPLIANCE DOUBTED BY LEADERS Issue Likely to Be Settled by Courts, Administration Circles on Hill Say. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. ‘The Senate is expected to vote to re- quest President Hoover to return the nomination of Dr. George Otis Smith, chairman of the new Federal Power Commission, it was admitted in admin- istration circles at the Capitol today. Dr. Smith and two other members of the Power Commission, Commissioners Draper and Garsaud, incurred the hos- tility of progressive members of the Senate on both sides of the chamber when they declared vacant the posi- tions of solicitor and chief accountant of the old power commission, held by Charles A. Russell and William V. King, respectively. These officials have been described as opponents of power trusts. May Vote Tomorrow. A vote on the motions of Senator Walsh of Montana to request the President, to return to the Senate the nominations of the three commissioners and to reconsider the votes by which the Senate confirmed those nominations may be reached tomorrow. An effort was made by Senator McNary, assistant Republican leader, to obtain unanimous consent to limit the debate after 4 o'clock this afternoon and to vote at 6 o'clock. Senator Walsh objected to the agreement, saying that he knew a number of Senators who still wish to discuss the matter. While administration Senators ad- mitted today that the opponents of Dr. Smith in the Senate probably had the votes to reconsider the confirmation of Dr. Smith's appointment, they ex- pressed the opinion that President Hoover would not send back to the Sen- ate Dr. Smith’s or the nominations of the other two commissioners under at- tack. They pointed out that Dr. Smith and the other commissioners have re- celved their commissions from the Presi- dent and have been sworn in. The matter, in their opinion, will have to 0 to the courts for final determination, provided the Senate does vote to ask the President_to return the nominations and the President declines to do so. Close Decision Possible. ‘The vote, it is expected, will be close and much will depend upon how large an_attendance of the meli A at the time the roll is called. learned today that 13 Republican Sen- ators are expected to vote for the re- turn of the nominations. The Senate at present is made up of 53 blicans, 42 Democrats and 1 Farmer-Labor. A number of the Democrats may vote with the majority of the Republicans against the recall of the nominations from the President. However, the opinion was expressed today in informed quarters that the ‘Walsh motion probably would carry, although by a narrow margin. Some of the Senators are out of the city and it is possible that the refusal on the part of Senator Walsh to agree to a vote today may be due to the fact that it is necessary to get these votes back. Bratton Backs Walsh. After Senator Walsh had declined to agree to a vote late today, Senator Brat- ton of New Mexico, Democrat, took the floor and addressed the Senate in sup- port of Senator Walsh’s motion to re- consider. He attacked Dr. Smith and the other commissioners because of the removal from office of Mr. Russell and Mr. King A report has been spread about the Senate Chamber that the Federal Power Commission might restore Russell and King to their former positions. Even if this is done, however, Senator Walsh and others who are seeking reconsidera- tion of the nominations say they will not drop the fight, but will demand re- consideration. o SHOALS REVERSAL SEEN Tilson, After Seeing President, Thinks House Will Reject Report. Representative Tilson, Republican floor leader, after a conference with President Hoover, predicted today the House would reject the conference re- port on the Muscle Shoals bill. He said he personally did not think the House should accept the compro- mise reached by the Senate and House conferees for Government operation. Mr. Tilson was accompanied to the White House by Manny Strauss, a long- time friend of President Hoover.

POLICE PROBE Says Members Too Busy to Act Under Blease Resolution. ‘The Police and Pire Subcommittee of the Senate District Committee will not investigate Police Department problems at this session of Congress under the Blease resolution, it was announced to- day by Senator Carey, Republican, of Wyoming, chairman of the subcommit- tee. The resolution for an inquiry into police affairs was brought forward at the last session by Senator Blease of South Carolina. Benator Carey said it was felt that Commissioner Crosby should be given an opportunity to work out the de- partment’s problems. He also pointed out that members of the Senate would be too busy during the remainder of this session to devote time to a study of the Police Department. The Sen- ator said that if, when Congress re- turns for the next session, a senatorial hearing on police matters is deemed advisable it could be held at that time. Before reaching this conclusion Sen- ator Carey conferred with Senator Blease, author of the resolution, and Senator Blease said he d fully with Senator Carey on is course. Sengtor Carey said he had talked with Gen. Crosby by telephone on the gen- eral subject, but did not discuss any particular cases.

Secretary Wilbur, in a brief talk to the representatives of more than a score of advertising, business and civic groups attending the conference, alluded, how- ever to the necessity of avoiding too many qualifications which might leave in existence some of the objectionable things the conference had started out to prevent. “But starting out as you have, with ideals of accomplishing something to this end, the conference should make p ess,” Mr. Wilbur said. He stressed the importance of the conference as one seeking “to unfold a new America and in trying to get back | by some of the things we have lost.” Asked About Present Stand. Various interests, particularly the outdoor advertising industry representa- tives, sounded again and again through- out the morning session, the need of reconciliation between opposing ideas and that the conference must be one of “glve and take.” During this phase of the discussion, Albert S.

Forty-six witnesses were subpoenaed today to testify tomorrow at the inquest into the killing of 19-year-old Beulah Limerick. Among those subpoenaed was | Mrs. Robert F. Langdon, wife of the pa- | trolman, who is being held for investi- | gation in connection with the shooting | of the girl, 5 | More than half of those named on the subpoenaes were investigating of- | ficials—an ambulance doctor, the dep- | uty coroner, No. 5 precinct officers, headquarters detectives with their pho- tographers and identification experts. { The others are members of the girl's family and associates. Police say Mrs. m could not be required to take the stand should she her testimony would in any way prejudice the case of her husband. Evidence Given Hart. Evidence of the selzure of two dis- mantled stills in Langdon's home at 1282 Oates street northeast yesterday afternoon was in the hands of Assistant District Attorney David A. Hart today by members of Inspector T. R. Bean's vice squad. Hart held up charges until he could investigate the legality of the police search of lon’s home. Hart emd he had one version that a young colored girl allowed police admission to tne home. If that :fiory is true, Hart said, the search was e was summoned to the residence yester- day afternoon by Capt. Edward J. Kelly, assistant chief of detectives, who explained there was evidence of a still at the home. Both Bean and Kelly, the officers said, asked Mrs. Langdon if they had her permission to search the premises, and were assured they had. After visiting the basement, Bean went to United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage to ask a search warrant. He explained the circum- stances and Turnage said that he felt a search warTant was unecessary. ‘Warrant Refused Earlier. The homicide squad members ex- plained they were admitted to the Langdon home in the first place by the consent of Mrs. Langdon. Turnage said today that Sergt. John Flaherty of the homicide squad came to him Saturday for a search warrant, stating he had peeped through a cellar door into Langdon's basement and dis- covered suspicious looking barrels. At that time Turnage refused a warrant on the ground there was no evidence of a sale of liquor. Inspector Bean booked Langdon at headquarters on a charge of possession of equipment designed for the manu- facture of f{llegal beverages, shortly after the stills were seized. Their presence. in the basement of the Langdon residence was discovered by Lieut. Kelly and Sergt. John Flaher- ty, who had gone there to search for guns in addition to the two .25 caliber automatics already turned over to them y_Langdon.

Funds carried in the 1932 appropria- tion bill for non-recurring “betterments” will bedome available to District heads immediately upon the signing of the bill by the President, Representative Robert J. Simmons of Nebraska, chair- man of the subcommittee on District appropriations of the House Appropria- tions Committee, declared today. This means that money carried in the pending bill for school sites, library and police and fire station sites, and such construction work as constitutes im- provement in the City of Washington, but which will not be repeated in subse- quent appropriation bills, will be in the hands of the District Commissioners by March 4. Mr. Simmons announced further that the plan of making the funds available prior to July 1, the beginning of the fiscal year, will become a fixed policy which will govern the availability of funds not only this year, but in subse- quent years. Gotwals Urged Action. Mr. Simmons’ decision to recommend the earlier availability of “betterment” funds followred a recommendation made to him Tuesday by Maj. John C. Got- wals, U. 8.

Too often, new school houses become available for oc- cupancy in the middle of a term, it was pointed out today and the completed structure may lie unused for one or two months, awaiting the beginning of the next semester. With the earlier acquisition of sites, however, the chance of avoiding this situation is increased. Asks Data on Schools. Besides school sites, in the interpre- tation of the new policy in Dil?rlct circles today, lands needed for the widening of streets also could be pur- chased earlier. Similarly, construc- tion on new building projects could be undertaken earlier, wesulting, in short, in a general acceleration of ail improve- ment projects in the District. In announcing his determination to introduce the new policy beginning this year, Mr. Simmons said that hearings on school system estimates for 1932 will begin next week. However, he called upon school authorities today for voluminous statistical data on the school needs, which, apparently, he plans to study before sitting with the school heads in executive session.
