NAPLES, July 25.—Bishop Michael Gallagher of Detroit, arriving here today, denied absolutely his visit to the Vatican had anything to do with the activities of Father Charles E. Coughlin, radio priest, who recently verbally attacked President Roosevelt. “The Vatican never intervened in the Coughlin matter,” said Bishop Gallagher. “It couldn’t intervene inasmuch as the head of all priests in the diocese of Detroit—therefore, also, the su- perior of Father Coughlin—is myself. “It must be, therefore, for myself to make observations about Father Coughlin, not the Vatican.” If the Pope should ask him about Father Coughlin, Bishop Gallagher said, “I will say Father Coughlin speaks for the people, not for the William Lemke party. “He said some very just things and very acute things, and because his priestly mission is exactly that he is occupying himself with the needs of the people. “I absolutely cannot speak con- trary to Father Coughlin.” Bishop Gallagher declared the De- troit priest was in accord with the Roosevelt government at first, “be- cause President Roosevelt promised above all a realization of some pro- “Instead, Roosevelt changed his policies, not keeping faith with his | promises.

His detention of the professor came four hours before the deadline the sheriff set for the arrest of the person he said he suspected. Brown told newspaper men last night: “I had hoped to have & con- fession for you boys, but I am unable to give it to you. I may not have it for a week or 10 days yet.” A member of the Clevenger family in New York said the family was not upset at the report Prof. Clevenger way “detained for investigation.” “We knew Prof. Clevenger would be de- tained,” he said. “That move was merely in line with the routine ine vestigation.” Mark Wollner, 35-year-old concert violinist, held for investigation in the case since last Saturday, was released late yesterday by the sheriff, but twa employes of the hotel still were being questioned.

Paradoxically, Wendelin obtained from Washington his first news that American Ambassador Claude G. Bow- ers was safe at his Summer villa near San Sebastian. The Madrid embassy had been unable to obtain word of the envoy's welfare for more than four days because of disrupted communications.
