Adh e THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. MONDAY, OCTOBER 12, 193 The Chief a CATHOLICS HONOR NEWMISSIONARIES Pledge Aid in Holy War to|: “Spread Truth Through World.” Pive thousand Cautholic students as- sembled yesterday in Catholic Univer- sity’s gymnasium to pledge their aid o a holy war and honor half & dozen missionaries departing for foreign lands. “We envy you your opportunity,” Very Rev. Ignatius Smith, O. P, de- olared, turning to the missionaries. “We envy your opportunity to light the beacon fires telling the people that the army of peace, love and justice is on the way.” This army, Father Smith said, “will not fight with bullets, but will wage war with Bibles, spreading truth throughout the world.” Ten other missionaries, who already have de- parted, were named in the ceremony. “This magnificent demonstration,” Pather Smith said, “shows that perse- cution only serves to drive our Cathoe e people together with greater deter- _mination to fight.” Three disturbing pictures, he said, ! depict the persecution. One is of & «storm-tossed world wallowing in the trough of political uncertainty.” An- ! other reveals a ‘“red, raving, raging Russian rebellion,” and the “blight of depopulated churches in Mexico” and the “blood of slaughtered priests in Spain.” The third picture, he said, depicts the “fear and amazement of our own Catholic people” in this world. Sixteen religious denominations, ! dressed in their clerical garb, and a dozen or more school units of Wash- ington and Southern Maryland were ! yepresented in the parade, which !formed at Thirteenth and Monroe ! streets northeast. Marching four abreast, the paraders passed the reviewing stand, wherein ‘gat Most Rev. John M. McNamara, Auxiliary Bishop of Baltimore, and - Father Smith. A police escort and James E. Collifiower, grand marshal, Jed the marchers, who were accom- panied by four bands. ' The rally also served as the occa- sion for the awarding of either paladin Jewels or the archbishop’s cross to students who distinguished themselves in the last year. They included: Margaret Schollden, Edith D'Onfriel, Ruth Shankle, Elizabeth Quigg, Pa- tricia McCracken, Mary Virginia + Beane, Betty Malony, Mary Rita Sul- livan, Irene Fitzhugh, Priscilla Carr, Charles Kirby, David Meade, Mary Fuggit, Teresa Karnes, Evelyn Keane, Paul Ragan, Lucille Kirke, Beth Crow- ley, Rose Colliflower, Anna West and Dorothy Kline.

Mr. McInnis will terminate his partner- + ship with the law firm of Olcott, Paul, Havens & Wandless of New York City. The new firm will be known as Roberts & McInnis and will have offices in the Transportation Building. “It is needless to say that I will miss greatly the numerous activities and associations which have come to be part of my life as people’s counsel, ‘but I am convinced that the time has now come when my usefulness in that position has diminished. The major objectives which were before me when I first came with the District govern- ment in 1930 have been accomplished. “It is my intention, if permitted by the commission and the courts, to con- -tinue to represent the people in cases now pending and undetermined with which I have been associated.” Controversy With Utilities Unit. Within the last week Roberts, in an informal report to the Federation of Citizens’ Associations, recommended that the office of people’s counsel be abolished unless it is provided with adequate personnel for investigating public utilities matters. During most of his two-year tenure of the office, Roberts has been at Joggerheads with the Public Utilities Commission. He has been antago- mistic to many commission rulings and several times has threatened to carry to court rulings handed down by that body. He succeeded Richmond B. Keech, Present vice chairman of the Public Utilities Commission, with whom he has clashed numerous times at public hearings. Roberts now has pending a threat- High officials of the church stood in McMahon Hall, Catholic Uniz':er:ity, yesterday to view the Mission Crusade parade. the reviewing stand. RIGHT T0 SEIZE MESSAGES ARGUED Senate Committee Counsel in Appeals Court Opposes Hearst Plea. ‘The Senate Lobby Investigating Committee today questioned, in the United States Court of Appeals, the right of “any court in the land,” to enjoin it against making use of mes- sages copied from the files of tele- graph companies. “Senators acting under a Senate resolution are not subject to injunc- tion even if Congress had no power to pass the resolution,” declared Cramp- ton Harris, committee counsel, in op- posing the appeal by William Ran- | dolph Hearst from the dismissal of his suit to enjoin the committee from keeping his telegrams, making use of | them or seizing any more. Messages Are Copled. Last Winter agents of the commit- tee, which was headed by Senator Black, Democrat, of Alabama, went into the offices of the Western Union -and Postal Telegraph Cos. and ob- tained coples of messages. With them were representatives of the Fed- eral Communications Commission. Shortly thereafter Hearst filed his injunction suit, claiming violation of the freedom of the press and of the fourth and fifth constitutional amend- ments. Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat dismissed the suit. Through his attorney, Elisha Han- son, Hearst took a special appeal on the jurisdictional question, which was argued today in the Court of Appeals. The court’s decision will be rendered at a later date. Jurisdiction Question. “I come to you more in the capacity of an envoy than a lawyer,” Harris told the court. “I appear not as a litigant, but as a representative of an equal and co-ordinate branch of the Gov- ernment to call attention to that phase of constitutional law which prohibits the courts to lay hands on the legis- lative branch.” Hanson said the sole question was whether the courts have jurisdiction “to entertain a suit to enjoin five men, members of the United States | Senate, individually or as a Senate | committee, from violating the rights of a citizen as guaranteed by the Constitution.” In seizing the telegrams, Hanson contended, the Senate committee vio- lated the constitutional prohibition against illegal search and seizure. | Harris is a former law partner of | Senator Black.

Billy Winn of Detroit, one of the American stars, was third in the first dizzy whirl around the “pretzel” course. Several machines had trouble before they passed the stands for the first time.

Pastor Names‘“Worst Sin” By e Associated Press. ITCHFIELD, Ill, October 12.— Rev. L. A, Crown, whose “worst sin” contest has brought hun- dreds of replies from over the Nation, last night told his congrega- tion the world’s “most horrible sin” is “the abuse of high privilege.” The 49-year-old pastor, who said persons “from Maine to California” had named what they believed the worst sin, awarded his contest prize to Mrs. Lizzie Largent, middle-aged housewife and member of his Union Avenue Christian- Church congrega- tion. Rev. Mr. Crown said Mrs. Largent's answer, one of 60 naming “rejection of Jesus” as the greatest evil, most nearly | coincided with his own ideas on sin. She received as prize a large picture of “Jesus and the Rich Young Man.” “Are you one of those who only cast feeble?™ sermon. “Do you neglect the high privilege Minister Settles Contest, “Abuse of High Privilege.” shame upon the church and make it | the pastor asked in his| Designatin of prayer and worship God offers through his church? Then, under God and before high heaven, you are guilty of the ‘world’s most horrible sin,’ the abuse of high privilege. * * *” “Men have been false to the high privileges God has given our Nation,” he asserted. “If one-tenth of the scandals un- earthed by Senate investigating com- mittees during the last three years are true, then why should any American trust men of wealth and power? Have not the high privileges that have been theirs been betrayed?” ‘The pastor said he had received 300 “worst sin” answers from Litchfield residents and 500 more letters and telegrams from people in 32 States and Canada. Ninety of them declared “sinning against the Holy Ghost” the worst evil. Others named “ingratitude’” re- garded as the worst by 39 persons; slander, kidnaping, “starting a nudist colony,” drunkenness, hypocrisy and lying.

Can alligators in the wild state sur- vive Washington’s Winters? The answer seems to be yes. The Zoo has at least one alligator captured on a Potomac mud flat. Too, there are records of alligators being caught in Hudson River. Thus the 3-foot alligator which George Porter surprised Saturday night in his garage at 5100 Brockville road, Chevy Chase, Md, may have! been a wild specimen, although he probably was an escaped pet. Porter was as surprised as the alligator when the headlights of his car revealed the reptile reared on its hind legs and tail witnesses, then locked the alligator in the garage. But the captive escaped during the night. Mrs. George W. Stone, 410 Cum- mings lane, a few blocks from the Porter residence, believes the alligator may have been one which escaped six years ago from an orange crate on the back porch of another neighbor. That alligator belonged to a small boy whose family since has left town. A year later, Mrs. Stone was crossing & creek near Pinehurst Circle at the foot of Raymond street when, as she explained today, “I looked smack into the face of a young alligator!” She did not see the reptile again. Several days ago W. W. Chambers, the funeral director, gave away three 3-foot alligators which he had brought home from Miami three years ago. The pets had become something of & nuisance and Chambers, through a newspaper story, offered to give them to anybody who could provide a good ‘home. Two hundred telephone calls im- mediately flooded Chambers' office, mostly from people who had a “lone- some” alligator and wished to fur- nish the captive with a mate. “I never knew there were so many alligators in Washington,” ghed Chambers’ secretary. “We gave our pets to people in the Northeast sec- tion. I'm sure the one found in Cheyy ‘C.hl.u could never have traveled that - S 4 Experts at the Zoo said alligators in ‘cold climates crawl into a hole in the mud and dose through the Win- ter months, emerging.in the Spirng. No alligators have escaped from the Zoo, it was said. Dinner to Benefit Hospital.
