PO TO DISUSS WORLD TUATON Interpretation to Be Part of Secret Consistory Tomorrow. By the Associated Press. VATICA. CITY, March 30.—At a secret consistory, or meeting of the College of Cardinals, on Monday morning Pope Plus is expected to de- liver an allocution, or address, on the world situation. The consistory will approve two canonizations and confirm appoint- ments of the Camerlengo and of arch- bishops and bishops. The canonizations are of blessed Thomas Mare, chancellor of England under King Henry VIII and Bishop John Fisher of Rochester, England, who lost their heads because they op- posed Henry's divorce of Catherine Howard and marriage with Anne‘ Boleyn. ! The Pontiff has already named | Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli, secretary of state, as Camerlengo, who acts as Pope between the death of one Pontiff | 5 | and the election of another. Confirmation Is Formality. The archbishops and bishops to be confirmed are those appointed since the last consistory, in October, 1933. Many Americans are among them. Confirmation is a formality, since the appointees are already functioning. Pope Pius has not announced the creation of new cardinals. Prelates say he will hold another consistory | later for this purpose. ! Churchmen say it is possible, how- ever, that he will reveal during Mon- day’s consistory the names of one or both of the two cardinals he created at the consistory of March 13, 1933, | whose names he reserved “in petto, that is, in his breast Prelates believe these two cardi- nals-elect are Msgr. Caccia-Domi- nioni, the papal major domo, and Msgr. Tedeschini, papal nuncio to Madrid. A public consistory will be held Thursday to continue the work of | Monday’s meeting. U. S.

Calling on the Nation to “not let selfishness control in a matter of such great importance,” Secretary Ickes yesterday advocated establsihment of international parks furnishing exam- ples of “significant scenery” through- out_the country. Speaking over a National Broad- _——m—— casting Co. network, Ickes urged sup- port of the proposal to set up a na- tional park in the picturesque Big Bend area along the Rio Grande, in Texas. If Congress approves the plan, Ickes said he hoped the Mexican gov- ernment would establish a park on its side of the river, similar to the Watertown Lakes-Glacier Interna- tional Peace Park between Canada and the United States. Ickes sald the National Park Serv- ice was planning to include the Flor- ida Everglades as typical of the trop- ical South, and Death Valley as an example of the desert. Ickes said other areas which should be made into national parks “before comercial exploitation robs them of their wilderness character,” included | Mount Olympus, whose existing na- EXTRA-R i i o i If Better Acceleration Is Important, Spark Plugs Are Vitally Important, and Champion Spark Plugs offer motorists two conclusive reasons why they should, without fail, choose Champions when performance needs improvement.
