NO TANGIBLE RESULTS YET
There has been a strong movement “Rome-ward” to
go back to the “old moorings” to be again in the “Bark
of Peter'. Lord Halifax of the English church started
the “Conversations of Malin” with its Cardinal, who died
lately. Then there was the gathering in Europe of rep
resentatives of the different denominations in which,
however, no representative of The Catholic Church took
part.
This later gathering was held to discuss the ques
tion of having a union of all the denominations with some
common platform—or some unification of doctrine, to
which all could subscribe, realizing that “in union there
is strength,” but there seems to be no tangible results
coming from it so far.
MEDDLING AGAIN IN FOREIGN LANDS
To get down to grass tacks what are United States
marines doing down in Nicaragua ? We thought this for
eign duty stuff, like the recent scrap across the Atlantic,
was a thing of the past. The best way out of that mess
is either bring the boys home or send down an army and
mop up the country if the U. S. has a bone to pick; get it
over with.
IN BAD, THAT’S ALL
The powers that be take another wallop at the Alas
kan Delegate in not considering his (round about) recom
mendation of Arthur Frame of Anchorage as a successor
to Judge Reed, First Judicial District. Judge Reed stays
on the job and no effort eminating from Sutherland can
dislodge him.

REVERSES ITSELF
ON WIRE'TAPPING
TO DETERMINE IF CONSTITU
TIONAL RIGHTS OF PEOPLE
BEEN VIOLATED
WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 10. (/P)
—The Supreme Court reversed itself
and decided to consider the validity
of evidence obtained in prohibition
cases by wire tapping. The case*
from the Pacific Coast, brought by
Roy Olmstead, Charles S. Greene,
Edward S. Mclnnes and others, chal
lenged the right of the government
cases to use the evidence obtained
by listening in on telephone wires.
'In all three the Supreme Court
refused, to grant reviews but announ
ced it will go into the subject to
determine whether the government
is violating the constitutional rights
of individuals.
