A—2 *x CATHOLICS PRESS - MOVIE ‘CRUSADE Pope’s Encyclical Adds Im- petus to Drive for “Decency.” . The world-wide crusade for decency tn motion pictures gained force today as a result of the Pope’s encyclical calling for international action by Catholics to boycott fllms considered {ndecent. + In Castel Gandolfo, Italy, Pope Pius XI approved plans for a Catholic Press Committee to organize an In- ternational Catholic Motion Picture Congress in Rome. - This organization, the Associated Press reported, was the first practical step in enforcing the Encyclical Vigi- lanti Cura, which was addressed “to all men who are right-minded and golicitous for the public weal.” The papal pronunciamento was con- sidered a compliment to the American hierarchy, which organized the Legion of Decency here at a meeting in No- vember, 1923. Committee to Report. The committee of bishops directing the crusade in this country will re- | r':rL at the coming November meet- | 2 to the hierarchy and discuss pos- | gible steps to make more airtight united Catholic campaigning for mor- Blity in motion pictures. From Hollywood came word that fwill Hays considered the Pope's letter 3 tacit indorsement of the picture in- dustry’'s own censorship plan. Hays, film czar, declined to comment until he had read the complete text of the encyclical. Observers pointed out that the main |. steps outlined by the Pope for con- | trolling the morality of the movie al Yeady are being followed in this coun- try by the Legion of Decency, which the Pope complimented thus in his letter: “We express our gratitude to the | hierarchy of the United States of | America and the faithful who co-| operated with them for the impor- tant results already achieved under their direction and guidance by the Legion of Decency.” The legion, with headquarters in New York, has an elaborate system of analyzing every picture released, | and its criticisms are sent all over the country through church publica- tions. Two lists are published. The larger contains four classifications—unob- Jectionable for general patronage, un- objectionable for adults, objectionable in part and condemned. At the head of the Bishops' Decency Committee is Archbishop John T. McNicholas of the Archdiocese of Cin- icinnati. Serving with him are Bishop John J. Cantwell of Los Angeles and »San Diego. Bishop Hugh C. Boyle of Pittsburgh and Bishop John T. Noll of Fort Wayne, Ind. Their crusade swept through the country in 1934, enlisting the support of many Protestant and Jewish or- ganizations and reaching its height in July of that year, when 50,000 Catholics from all over Northern Ohio &tormed Cleveland Stadium to take a mass pledge against immoral films. Pledge Is Approved. This pledge, which was approved in April, 1934, by the Bishops' Com- mittee, in session here, read: | “I wish to join the Legion of De- cency, which condemns vile and un- | wholesome moving pictures. I unite | with all who protest against them as a grave menace to youth, to home life, to country and to religion. “I condemn absolutely these salacious | motion pictures which, with other de- grading agencies, are corrupting pub- lic morals and promoting a sex mania in our land. “I shall do all that I can to arouse public opinion agginst the portrayal 1 Washington Wayside Tales Random Observations of Interesting Events and Things.

Your first conclusion that he has found a purse or a stray piece of paper currency is upset since he frequently repeats the same maneuver. The answer is that he is collecting paper match box covers, and while on the lookout for fares he does not forget his hobby. He now has several hundred covers from all sections of the United States, no two of which are alike. He met with a windfall not long ago when he found one of the chain drug stores was disposing of boxes of 50 paper matches at & very nominal sum which contained a varied assortment of covers. It seems the manufac- turer had taken canceled or excess orders and odd lots and, after a thorough mixing, had disposed of them at a discount.

Providing a new entrance to Rock Creek Park from the section east of Sixteenth street, Piney Branch road, under construction for the past three years as a relief project, was to be opened to the public this afternoon. No ceremony has been arranged by the office of National Capital Parks. Barricades at Arkansas avenue be- tween Fourteenth and Sixteenth streets and on Beach drive at the mouth of Piney Branch were to be removed by workmen, thus opening the road to traffic. Temporary barricades will be placed along a portion of the road where a retaining wall still is under construc- tion. This retaining wall, along the bank of Piney Branch, will be com- pleted in about two weeks. The new roadway, 4,000 feet long, provides a new entrance to the park under Sixteenth street. The roadway passes under the old Tiger Bridge Just north of Spring road. This is expected to relieve congestion on Upper Sixteenth street, providing a new traffic route from Upper Four- teenth street to Beach drive. Construction of the road was started as & relief project about three years ago and after several interruptions was taken over by the Works Progress Administration about a year ago. — Hearing (Continued From First Page.) $25 collateral for Zioncheck's appear- ance in court the next day. Judge !Johri P. McMahon ordered the col- lateral forfeited when Zioncheck did | that time—but recalled his action at the request of Assistant United States | Attorney Karl Kindleberger and grant- ed a continuance until today. The case was re-opened when Judge Casey again ordered the collateral for- feited, but then granted the contin- | uance until next January. Mrs. Young remained Court throughout the proceedings, and it was understood she had sworn out another warrant against Zioncheck— ! this time charging him with house- | breaking, declaring he broke down | doors of her apartment. has advised Zioncheck o sue the Northwest Airlines for refusing to carry | him from Chicago to Seattle. Romney said he left for Seattle yesterday by auto- bring suit in Federal Court against the | airline, and that he would be glad to g0 to Seattle to testify for him. “I explained to the airline officials that the reservation I made was for Zioncheck and they assured me he | would receive every consideration. | They put him out of the plane after taxiing around the field for photo- | graphs and publicity. They will get | plenty of publicity, all right, but it | will be aaverse.” Romney today told Mrs. Benjamin | Young, Zioncheck’s former landlady. who had appealed to him for *justice,” that he had no jurisdiction and her alleged grievances were a question for the courts to decide. Mrs. Young complained because Romney had aided Zioncheck to leave | the city. | Although it was not learned defi- nitely where Mrs. Zioncheck had been |ing for her to serve the warrant, other than that she was “with friends in Maryland,” Central Air Lines offi- cials here said she boarded one of their planes at the Washington Air- | port at 11:20 p.m. Wednesday. Seat to Seattle Reserved. The airline said a éall was re- the other side of Baltimore,” re- serving a seat to Seattle for a “Mrs. Drake.” The reservation previously had been made for an earlier plane, it was learned, but was changed to the later hour. A pretty, attractively-dressed wom- an, equipped with a large amount of luggage, arrived at the airport in an automobile shortly before the 11:20 plane was to depart. She said she was “Mrs. Drake” and was given her re ervation. Airline employes subse- quently identified her as Mrs. Zion- check. The fact the reservation was made from “the other side of Baltimore” indicated Mrs. Zioncheck had been staying near her husband while he was confined in the Enoch and Shep- pard Pratt Sanatorium at Towson, Md.. although on Monday, when the Repre- sentative was “barricaded” in his office here after his escape from the Towson Institution, Romney said Mrs. Zion- check cculd get there in 30 minutes if summoned by her husband. It was decided to postpone the reunion, how- ever, until circumstances were more auspicious, ie, until Zioncheck was out of the city. It was recalled that Zioncheck had expected to see his wife the last day he was at Gallinger Hospital before his transfer to the Maryland institu- tion, but that she did not appear. When he arrived at Enoch and Shep- pard Pratt, he expressed doubt that his wife had been party to the proceedings which effected his-commitment.

If I were Governor I would have charge of all the insane asylums in the State and I would get rid of a Iot of these so-called insanity experts.” The newspaper quoted Zioncheck as saying he would support President Roosevelt for re-election, “not be- cause of any particular confidence else to do.” The eighteenth candidate for Zion- check’s office appeared today.

When I saw him on the witness | stand. Q. You just stopped yesterday? A. Yes. Reeve quizzed her at length upon why she filed a divorce suit in 1926 after she had brought an earlier action, in 1923, for separate mainte- nance. | “I wanted to be a wife." the blond witness declared, “and he wouldn't give me a home to be a wife in" Q. Isn't it true the real trouble be- | tween you was unhappiness over the lack of finances? A. Part of it. Q. What was the rest? A. He lacked responsibility. I wanted to do my part, but he wouldn't give me a chance. Q. Wasn't he fond of you? A. At all times. I can't believe he isn't fond of me now. Q. Why did you file that divorce? A. I thought if he thought that I would make a definite move I would at least find out where he stood, in- stead of getting evasive letters. Questioned on Finances, Reeve’s questions hammered the | subject of finances, of MacArthur's | scanty circumstances, when he mar- ried Miss Frink, and of the play- wright's financial success later when his first play was accepted by David Belasco, “When he talked reconciliation, you talked finances, didn’t you?” Reeve asked, referring to a meeting between the two in 1925. “No,” Miss Prink responded, “I talked reconciliation too.” “But also finances?” “If you call security finances.” She told him, she said, that “I want some security.” Q.

Called suddenly into conference after Miss Frink took the stand today, the principals and their attorneys engaged in earnest conversation for nearly half an hour, while a crowded court room peered, giggled and waited for a re- sumption of the testimony that has brought out the 8. R. O. sign since the trial opened Wednesday. Smart in a tailored white sharkskin suit, Miss Frink resumed the stand to conclude her case in the court room of Circuit Judge Walter J.

They went into conference. | ‘Then Miss Frink emerged and Miss Hayes. MacArthur and their attorney, Jay Fred Reeve, joined Miss Frink's lawyer. Both the attorneys declined to an- | nounce their purpose.

Miss Hayes, demure in the same blue taffeta suit she wore to court yesterday, for the second day of the civil trial, listened with a grave, wist- ful expression. MacArthur Looks Thoughtful. MacArthur, a tanned, lean figure sitiing beside his second wife, looked thoughtful. It was magazine articles she read about the Hayes-MacArthur romance, Miss Frink testified, which first im- pelled her to bring suit charging the actress with stealing MflcArmur'si love. i Golan asked: Q. When did you first see Mac- Arthur and Miss Hayes together? A. In New York, in 1926. He came in on a boat and she was down to meet him. That was the year Miss Frink’s di- | vorce from MacArthur was granted. | did you think about and the year his first play, “Lull famous center court for the semi- | per dead sister Belle,” went on the stage. Brought Three Suits. | Miss Frink brought two suits, she has testified. one in 1923, ihree years after she married MacArthur, asking separate maintenance, and then a sec- ond in 1926, asking divorce. But it was not until 1932, six years later, that Miss Frink brought her suit against Miss Hayes. Golan asked: Q. When did you first decide to bring action against Miss Hayes? | A. When I read movie magazines in | | \ 1932 and saw dates and looked up and | promoter Bill O'Brien today cabled | realized what my attitude had been at | Fred Perry an offer of $50,000 to| the time, and I was very hurt. | After she filed her suit for separate maintenance, ending three years of a| nomadic married lifc which took them to Cuba, California, New York.

She had charged him with cruelty. He charged her with deser- jon. uQ. Did you talk to him about it? A. Yes. He said he was sorry he made me angry, but he said “Hell hath no fury like & woman cross-billed.” Falling to win her back, Miss Frink said, MacArthur offered to give her some memento of their married days. He said “I'd like to give you some- thing,” she testified. “I said, ‘You can't give me an en- gagement ring; it's too late for thal Miss Frink testified yesterday that MacArthur never gave her one. —_— Railroad Honored.

Immediately after the match Von Cramm announced he had tcrn a muscle in his thigh in his first service. He asked the referee to apologize to the capacity crowd for his poor show- ing.

Perry disclosed he knew of Von Cramm’s injury and said he urged the German to leave the court and have the thigh massaged, but the German said: “It wouldn't be any use now,’ revealed.

A smaller crowd than packed the finals two days ago turned out to see Perry meet Von Cramm. Perry, who arrived in state with his American actress wife, Helen Vinson, ruled the 3-to-2 favorite to retain the crown despite the fact his sorely blistered feet was heavily taped.
