CATHOLICSEXPECT
Devout Still Hold Churches,
Confident Ban Will Be
Eased.
By th* Associated Pres*.
CORDOBA, Vera Cruz. Mexico,
February 13.—Catholics retained pos
session of their six churches hopefully
waiting today for word religious free
dom will return to the state of Vera
Cruz.
Devout churchmen, who seized the
long-closed churches in a demonstra
tion Thursday that slightly injured
six persons, apparently took Gov.
Miguel Aleman's word that the con
troversy would soon be settled. No
further demonstrations have occurred.
In the city of Vera Cruz. Catholic ;
women canceled a scheduled demon- j
stretion after conferring with military
authorities.
Church members dispatched an ap
peal to President Lazaro Cardenas to
| order reopening of churches "in behalf
of public tranquillity.” Informed 1
sources in Jalapa predicted the next
session of the State Legislature would
relax stringent anti-church measures
which permit only one priest for each
100.000 inhabitants.
Rebellious throngs in Cordoba
Thursday ejected a group of municipal
firemen and a group of labor unionists
who had occupied two churches.
Authorities took no action against the
demonstrators.
PLAN SUNDAY SERVICES.
ORIZABA. Vera Cruz, Mexico,
February 13 (4s).—Joyous Catholics, j
barred from their churches for more j
than 12 years, made ready tonight for j
the first Sunday services since rebel- ;
iious throngs forced reopening of long
closed churches.
Prayers of thanksgiving were of
fered throughout the city as the de
vout streamed into the churches while j
authorities looked the other way, ig
noring violation of stringent anti- |
church regulations.
Catholic services in Vera Cruz have
been observed only surreptitiously, !
sometimes in twos and threes, some
times in larger groups, since the
church ban became strictly enforced
more than a decade ago.
Catholics seethed into open "rebel
lion” after a 14-year-old girl was
killed in a raid last Sunday on secret
ly conducted Catholic services.
CUMMINGS ASKED
TO SAVE NAMESAKE
Condemned Colored Man Appeals
for Aid of Attorney
General.
Homer Cummings, through an at
torney, has appealed to Homer Cum
mings. the Attorney General, to save
him from the electric chair.
Cummings, the prisoner, who is
colored, is lodged in a death cell in
the District Jail and is scheduled to
be executed March 19.
Cummings, the Attorney General,
has received a plea from Albert Ly
man, attorney for the prisoner, that
he petition President Roosevelt that
the life of the first-named Homer
be spared.
Cummings, the prisoner, and Willet
J. Marcus, also colored, were convicted
by a District Court jury of first-de
gree murder in connection with the
slaying January 4, 1935, of Joseph R.
Wushnak, meat wagon driver, at
Tenth and B streets northeast.
Lyman contended, in his petition to
the Attorney General, that his client
intended to rob Wushnak, but that
the gun he held in his hand was
accidentally discharged when it
struck against the side of the wagon.
Marcus had no part in the shooting,
it was asserted. Lyman argued that
Cummings should have been convicted
of second-degree murder or man
slaughter.

Retrial Set for March 1 After
Judge Criticizes Failure
to Agree.
By (lie Associated Press.
NEW YORK. February 1J—The
Jury which tried two of five men ac
cused of forcing Paul H. Wendel to
confess a crime he never committed—
the Lindbergh kidnaping—was dis
charged today after failure to reach
a verdict In 20 hours of delibera
tion.
Thus the strange case of Wendel,
who said he was abducted and tor
tured Into "confessing" the Lindbergh
kidnaping shortly before Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann was put to death as
the real kldnap-murderer, remains
legally unsolved.
Dismissing the Jury with sharp
criticism of its failure to agree, Judge
John J. Fitzgerald set the retrial of
the present defendants, Martin
Schlossman and Harry Weiss, for
March 1.
Schlossman, Weiss, Murray Blee
feld, Ellis Parker. sr„ and his son,
Ellis Parker, Jr., all are under Indict
ment for the abduction of Wendel.
Bleefeld Pleaded Guilty.
Bleefeld, before the case went to
the jury, elected to plead guilty. The
Parker* have not been brought Into
this jurisdiction for trial because of
the refusal of Gov. Hoffman of New
Jersey to permit extradition.
All through the trial a defense ef
fort was made to picture Weis* and
Schlossman as the Ignorant dupes of
Parker, sr„ a Burlington County,
N. J., detective.
He was, said counsel, the “master |
mind" who remained in New Jersey
while Weiss and Schlossman stood
here “on the short end of an In
dictment.”
Through grand Jury statements of
Bleefeld read to the trial jury Parker,
sr., was represented as having boasted
of an intimate connection with Gov. <
Hoffman and as having been willing
to drive Wendel into insanity If a
I "confession" helpful to Hauptmann
thus could be obtained. Parker had
expressed doubts as to Hauptmann’s
guilt.
Judge Chidea Jury.
Judge Fitzgerald, saying it seemed
“inexplicable that an agreement could
not be rearhed” added to the jury
as he ordered its discharge:
"This case is of extraordinary im- !
portance and it is a matter of great j
public interest not only because of
: the innocence or guilt of the de- ,
J fendants, but a* a notice to the world
that no one. regardless of their posi
tion, can permanently bar the proper
administration of justice.”
“I assume the differences among
you are honest and conscientious
ones. But • • • I see no reason why
| 12 intelligent men could not reach
a verdict."
District Attorney William F. X.
Oeoghan. observing with some ap
parent choler, "You never can tell
what a jury will do.” asserted it had
stood 9 to J for conviction.

REBELS REPELLED
IN ARGANDA AREA
Crack Loyalist Troops Push
Foes Back With Fierce
Assault
Br the Associated Press.
NEAR ARGANDA ON THE VAL
ENCIA HIGHWAY FRONT, Febru
ary 13.—Crack troops marshaled by
the Spanish government drove In
surgents back tonight with a fierce
assault on entrenchments In heights
dominating the vital Madrid-Valencia
highway.
An a 1 mast ceaseless battle has been
under way here for three days, dur
ing which the roar of air raiders, the
thunder of artillery and the rattle
of machine guns have given the hilly,
olive-growing countryside little rest.
Arganda is *5 miles southeast of
Madrid.
Repeated insurgent raids have
never provided a position that could
be held here on the road proper, but
from a bluff about 300 yards away
the insurgent forces continued to
sweep the pavement with machine
guns and rifles.
Prom an observation post a quarter
of a mile west of Arganda, shells
from the government artillery could
be seen bursting near the enemy po
sitions. The guns roared constantly.
Bombing Planes Appear.
Suddenly six tn-motored bombing
planes, escorted by 14 pursuit ships,
appeared from behind a barrier of
cliffs and observers took cover under
olive trees. As the ships sped over
head, an officer shouted, "They art
going to bomb Arganda! Keep a
sharp eye out. Ours will soon be
here, too."
After a few tense moments a aeries \
of explosions could be heard from \
the direction of Arganda. Then the '
Insurgent squadron swung around and j
heeded back towards the bluffs.
But before It could get away IS i
government planes loomed into view
from the other side of Arganda and
started an aerial attack on the in
vaders.
Insurgent gun barriers also con
tinued to pound at the Arganda
bridge over the Jarama River.
So long as this situation continues,
the road in this sector cannot be
used for traffic, although approaches
to Madrid over detours still remain.

manding this sector has his head- .

quarters, is clogged with troops going
and coming to and from the fields
of battle. The colonel declared he had
plenty of troops, tanks and field guns
at his disposal.
“In the last three days we have
pushed the enemy back steadily," he
said, Indicating the expanse of fields
rolling away to the west.
“No, they have not taken the Ar
ganda Bridge. I do not think they
will take it, even though they have
10.000 more men than we.”
The insurgent bombing planes beat
a hasty retreat, but their escorting
ships doubled back to give combat.
Insurgent and government planes
soomed over the olive fields, diving
and circling in battle which lasted
a half hour.
One insurgent plane crashed, and
another, chased by two government
ships, made off for the other side of
Arganda. While still In view, it fell
under a hail of machine gun fire
from pursuers.
Fleet Disappears.
Apparently a signal to beat a re- !
treat, another of the ships drew a
thick line of smoke across the sky
and the fleet disappeared back of
nearby bluffs.
During the battle, explosive bullets
from the warcraft spattered with loud
reports on the asphalt highway.
In Arganda three were killed and
25 injured by bombs, three of which
fell on houses and two on a hospital
near stall headquarters.
The whole wall was torn from the
main ward of the hospital, and many
of Its 50 beds were wrecked. The
head nurse said, fortunately, all but
a few patients were evacuated shortly
before the raid. The few remaining
escaped with alight Injuries.
Three miles from the town. In a
field reached by tramping overland*
the twisted and burned wreck of an
Insurgent plane was located. Its
pilot had been blown to pieces.
An old peasant woman was picking
up unflred machine gun bullets from
the wreckage. She held them out,
crying in a loud voice. “Take these and
use them to kill Fascista*’.”
