ARGHBISHOP HITS LEVYFORSCHOOLS [Taxing Catholics Means No Freedom of Education for Minority, He Says. By the Assoctated Press. FREDERICK, Md.,, May 10.—Dele- gates to the Baltimore Archdiocesan Convention of the Catholic Students Mission Crusade went into their clos- ing sessions today. The final event will be a State-wide oratorial contest tonight at which Pierce Butler, associate justice of the Supreme Court, will preside. The Most Rev. John T. McNicholas, ©. P., Archbishop of Cincinnati, speak- ing yesterday at a solemn pontifical military mass before 10,000 persons, asserted it was unjust for the State to tax Catholics for the support of Ppublic schools. “Theoretically, we have much free- dom in education,” he said, “but practically, there is little freedom for a great minority. No Monopoly of Education. “We know from a decision of the Supreme Court that in no State of our country shall there be monopoly of education: that parents have the Tight to select a school for their chil- dren. “But practically, in millions of in- stances, poor parents cannot make their selections according to the dic- tates of their conscience. “In other words, the State taxes all eitizens for education and then, despite the law, makes a distribution among the parents. “Those who either approve unre- ligious schools or who.have no con- Ecientious judgment whatever about religious training are provided with free schools for their children, but religious-minded parents who are in poor or moderate circumstances are provided with no schools. “This discrimination is fundament- ally opposed to freedom of education, &ince some parents find it necessary to send their children to schools not in conformity with their desires.” Roundly Assails Communism. Archbishop McNicholas roundly as- sailed communistic teachings and urged all classes and creeds to “unite in repelling communism.” He ex- pressed & hope that capital and in- . dustry have experienced a change of heart and are ready to combine @gainst communism. “If Communism, or communistic tendencies prevail” he said, “it will be the end of freedom for capital and industry. Whoever can influence the captains of industry to see the light of a new day should discharge this duty.” Most Rev. Amleto Giovanni Cicog- nini, apostolic delegate the United States, was the celebrant of the mass. The assistant priest was Rev. John J. Dolan of Frederick, and the assistant deacons were Very Rev. Johm Lardner, president of St. Mary’s Seminary, Bal- timore, and Rev. H. B. McKenna, S. J., of Ridge, Md. The deacon of the mass was Rev. James G. O'Neill of Towson. Rev. Francis P. Ryan of Hancock was sub- deacon. Rev. W. Carroll Milholland of Lands- downe was the master of ceremonies. He was assisted by Rev. Anthony O'Driscoll, O. F. M, of Holy Name College, Washington. Dr. Leo Behrendt directed the choir of the Catholic University, which sang the music of the mass. British Official Killed. LONDON, May 10 (#)—Sir James Blindell, 53, junior lord of the treasury, was killed today when the automobile in which he was riding overturned on the way to a coronation carnival at Stickford, Lincoinshire. Lady Blindell, who accompanied him, escaped unhurt. —_— FOUND. BCOTTIE DOG. Call after 7 pm. Adams £115-M. LOST.

Thirty chefs and their assistants will prepare the food in the palace kitchens. Approximately 200,000 coronation visitors piled pell-mell into London today, from European countries, from the United States, and from far dis- tant parts of the British Empire. They invaded the decorated streets, swarmed and boarding houses and gave porters, trainmen and taxi drivers one of the most hectic days in their lives. The crowds gave London railway terminals the general aspect of a madhouse as they shrilled, coaxed, demanded and threatened. They lost their luggage and got lost amidst their luggage, but went straightway to work to enjoy themselves. It was coronation cavalcade, non- stop style, with London on the side- lines. It was a tourist bombshell, a see-the-world stick of dynamite, a human thunderstorm that shook the Tower of London.

Thousands of extra porters and customs officials were on duty and scenes of confusion unrivaled in tour- ist travel were enacted. The King and the Queen unexpect- edly went to the abbey this afternoon for another rehearsal of their roles. George VI, in a bowler hat and black coat, shook hands on the Westminster steps with the Duke of Norfolk, young earl marshal. Queen Elizabeth wore a long dove gray coat and a wide- brimmed gray straw. She smiled and waved to a cheering crowd. The Archbishop of Canterbury, bare-headed, walked to the abbey just before their majesties arrived. At the morning rehearsal the young Duke of Norfolk was crowned with a pasteboard imitation as under- study to his monarch in a final “make- believe” ceremony in Westminster Abbey that brought to a close the months of careful preparation for the coronation Wednesday of King George VI. Vast crowds milled about in cold rain and gloomy fog, while in the vaulted interior of the stately abbey the characters who will play all but the two most prominent parts in the ceremony moved about and spoke their lines as in a play. Days of Sunshine End. The steady drizzle that brought an end to days of unseasonal sunshine failed to daunt the jostling, good-na- tured throngs jamming London to ca- pacity for the final act in the great drama of empire. The poor, unable to pay the prices for Wednesday's big show, sought vicarious thrills in the last-minute check-ups that gave them a preview of the trappings of royalty and the court, although the central figures were absent. They huddled under newspapers and sodden blankets and stamped the blood back into their clammy feet. Special trains from the provinces hourly brought more and more per- sons to swell the already overcrowded metropolis threatened with the spread of a strike of busmen to include street car and subway workers, that might tie up all transportation fa- cilities during the empire show. Strike May Spread. Membgs of the Central Committee for the 2,000 striking bus drivers and conductors predicted the walkout might spread through the allied or- ganizations, as the strike appeared little nearer a settlement. ‘Week end meetings failed to bring an end appreciably nearer, although strenuous efforts were being made to have the familiar red busses running on schedule before the coronation. But while the masses jokingly pushed and shoved their way through the disorder the coronation crowds have made of London'’s historic thor- oughfares, within the Abbey all was ordered and dignified. It was a complete rehearsal, even to the crowning with imitation crowns. Archbishop Presides. The Archbishop of Canterbury, pri- mate of all England, who will place St. Edward's crown—the Crown of England—on King George’s head, placed the cardboard imitation on Norfolk, seated in King Edward's chair. By his side, understudy for her friend, Queen Elizabeth, was Lady Rachel Howard, 31-year-old sister of the youthful earl marshal. Music from orchestra and choir swelled through the abbey, dwindled away and swelled again. Without pause, without hesitation, the tmpor- into the lobbies of hotels | tant parts of the ceremony were tested in actual practice to avoid any of the humors—and tragic incidents that have marked pas‘ coronations, Told and retold as the time for this coronation approaches, they go back as far as the installation of William and Mary when the earl marshal, entering the banqueting hall on horse- back as was the custom, was thrown by his restive steed and landed on the table “among the tarts and jeliies.” Plate and Linen Stolen. At Queen Anne’s coronation all the plate and linen provided for her ban- quet were stolen at the last moment | and when George IV was crowned the people, permitted by custom to finish up the food left over from the ban- quet, broke into Westminster Hall and tpok everything in sight—includ- ing gold and silver spoons and forks. Some of the royal plate was recovered in the free-for-all fight that followed. George I, unfortunately, knew no English and his offictals knew no Ger- man. The services were conducted in doubtful Latin and it became a common jest that “much bad lan- guage had passed between the King and his ministers.” Pragedy marred the elaborate cere- mony of the coronation of George Vi, his repudiated Queen Caroline plead- ing personally with doorkeepers to admit her to the ceremony from which her husband had ordered her barred. History records that the royal underwear of King Richard I was torn by the knight whose duty it was to open the king's costume for the annointing with oil, so nervous did he become. Queen Elizabeth com- plained that the holy ofl “was grease and smelled ill.” Queen Anne Suffered With Gout. Queen Anne suffered so severely with gout at the time of her corona- tlon she had to be carried to her throne; Queen Victoria suffered great pain when the ring, too small for her plump finger, had to be Jorced on by the archbishop. Victoria Regina’s first act as crowned Queen has been said to have been the washing of her favorite dog after she had reached home from the abbey and doffed her robes. With their fingers figuratively crossed against any mishap to their own coronation, King George anmd Queen Elizabeth spent the rainy week end at Windsor Gastle. BRolice had difficulty clearing a way through the London crowds as the royal couple returned to their festively decorated capital last evening. All day and into the night thou- sands of Londoners and visitors from overseas milled through the narrow streets and packed into hotel lobbies. Through the crush, Scotland Yard men moved on the alert checking suspected undesirables against an in- dexed manual that is a veritable “who’s who” of international crime. Power (Continued From First Page.) of revenues derived from operation of the projects, over and above the reasonable cost of operation and maintenance. The grants in the Alabama cases equal 30 per cent of the cost of labor and materials, the remaining 70 per cent to be loaned by the Government. In the Iowa case, the grant is 45 per cent of the cost of the projects. In none of the cases did the power companies own exclusive franchises, although in some there were non- exclusive franchises. The Alabama company charged HI-POWER AUDIPHONE Bone or Air Conduotion DEMONSTRATION OPTICAL DEPARTMENT Jowslers, Platinumemiths, Stationsrs A. KAHN INC. Arthur J.

W. A. of inducing municipalities to enter into the conspiracy. To accomplish their ends, the defendants threatened private electric utilities in particular locations with the construction of projects with Federal money, unless the private utilities agreed to establish rates satisfactory to P. W. A, the Alabama company alleged. The concern stated that “the prop- erty right of plaintiff to operate its property and to enjoy its franchise free from injurious competition brought about by unlawful means and to con- duct its intrastate business and charge rates free from unconstitu- tional interference and domination by an agency or agencies of the Federal Government, will immediately be in- vaded and destroyed.” Acting on these suits, which are tried as one, District Court dismissed them after holding the power program constitutional and a valid ex: cise of authortiy. The Court of Appeals made it plain, however, that it was not concerned with the constitutional issues, since the power companies had no right to raise them. Decisions by the United States Cir- cuit Court of Appeals in the eighth and fourth circuits, in which substan< tially the same position was taken, del. Remanded for Retrial. The fourth circuit case was Green- wood County vs. vuke Power Co., which reached the Supreme Court, but was remanded for retrial because of “irregularities in practice.” The power companies argued from Duke case that the standing of a utility company to question the con- stitutionality of the program was im- pliedly recognized. [" “We think this contention is with- out merit,” stated the Court of Ap- peals. “The legal interest of the utility was a question in that case, anc it was fully and exhaustively treated in the opinion of the Circuit Court of Appeals. On so important a point it is not for us to speculate as to what the opinifon of the Supreme Court might have been had it passed directly upon it. o “Moreover, the court clearly stated that it expressed ‘no opinion on the relevancy or effect of the evidence, or otherwise upon the merits.’ " Concurring Opinion. Associate Justice D. Lawrence Groner wrote a concurring opinion, emphasizing that he felt bound by the trial court's findings of fact that the municipalities acted without coercion, that there was no agreement or con- spiracy between the municipalities and the United States, that the United GS CLEANE] WEST 2220 W. | Washed, With a Real Special many pairs as you wish. waiting jobs. | cannot say. | filibuster.” were referred to by Justice Van Ors- | the Supreme Court’s actian in the| strongly in favor of amendments that Money-Saving Come in and get acquainted with our quality work—and bring as At this special price, we’ll have to ask you to leave shoes—positively no QUALITY SHOE § 41511thSt.N.W.

The cases were argued both in the District Court and the Court of Ap- peals by such well-known counsel as Newton D. Baker, former Secretary of War, for the power companies, and Jerome M.

The Judiciary Committee, meeting today, Wednesday, disoussed other features of the court bill outside of the Su- preme Court provisions. The pro- posed proctor, the assignment of judges in‘the lower courts and the pro- posal of the President to increase the number of District judges were all discussed. Some opposition in the committee has developed to"the crea- tion of office of proctor, and also to the increase in the number of Dis- trict judges as recommended by the President. Senator McAdoo of California is to appear before the committee tomoms- row to discuss his proposed constitu=- tional amendment providing for a Su- preme Court of 15 members and leav- ing to Congress at the end of 25 years to decide the size of the court there- after.

Grab of Chicago, one of two American passengers injured in the crash of an airliner, April 23, in the jungle near the Brazilian border., Grab was commercial attache of the United States Legation here. The inspector reported the wrecked plane was located Friday and prepara- tions were being made to evacuate four survivors, among whom was Wil- liam Armstrong Perry, writer, of Weste port, Conn. An aerial search party today saw the wreckage of the plane on the slopes of the Verdum range and dropped provisions and medicines.
