COUGHLIN SCORED BY POPE Organ Of Vatican Issues Editorial Semi-Official Newspaper Score* His Calling F. D. R. “Liar." VATICAN CITY, Sept. The Osservatore Romano, authori tative Vatican organ, today public ly criticized Father Charles Cough lin's recent speech assailing Presi dent Roosevelt as a "liar and be trayer.” Prelates, however, said Father Coughlin was free to continue his political activities provided he does not "denounce public authority.” The editorial, which prelates said was not to be considered official or semi-official stated: Controversy. “In some American newspapers it has been said that when Bishop Galagher (of Detroit) was in Rome he was given to understand the Holy Sec approved completely the activities of Father Coughlin. "That is not true. Bishop Gallag her knows very well what was said to him on that matter. "The Holy See wishes to respect all liberties and all conveniences “It is extremely notable that an orator offends when he inveighs against persons who represent the supreme social authority with the evident danger of disturbing the re spect due the authorities themselves by the people. “The inconvenience is greater as well as more evident when the jspeaker is a priest ” Mrs. Queen Dies In South Shelby; Burial Thursday Mrs. w. w.

S., Britain LONDON. Bcpt J.—(4>)— 1 Japan in a formal note today, announced it intended to retain 15,598 tons of submarines In excess of the United States and Great Britain. That will make Japanese submarine strength one-third superior to the other two naval powers. The move was taken in re ply to Great Britain's recent invocation of a clause of the London naval treaty of 1930 under which t.he British an nounced their intention of keeping 40,000 tons of over-age destroyers in excess of the 150, 000 tons allowed by the treaty. Under the treaty Britain, the United States, and Japan are allowed 52,700 tons of sub marines each, but by today's proposal the Japanese will in crease their strength to nearly 68,300 tons.

Even should additional approp riations be found necessary, how ever, Mr. Roosevelt said these would total less than $500,000,000. Estimating receipts at $5,665,839, 000 for the year ending next June 30 the chief executive pointed out thus was a net increase of $12,000, 000 over his original budget esti mate last January despite $668, 000.000 of unexpected losses in reve nue, due to invalidation of taxes under the Agricultural Adjustment act and other causes.

Glowing embers from> a trash pile nearby furnished the sparks for a fire which virtually destroyed the Eastside grocery store early yester day afternoon. The building was owned by Mrs. A. P. Weathers who estimated that the lass of her building would be from $800 to $1,000. The store was being operated by Mrs. Monroe Sanders and her son James Sand ers who estimated that damage to their stock of goods will amount to nearly $1,000. No insurance was carried on the building or the goods. Was Problem The fire presented a problem to local firemen who had to lay two long lines of hose, as the hydrants were hundreds of feet, from the store. When they arrived the roof was almost burned and the inflamable shingles were causing a large blaze and a huge column of smoke. An unusually large crowd of people gathered to watch the laddies fight the blaze. Water and smoke did the most damage to the stock of goods. Mrs. Sanders thought she would be able to salvage some of the heavier groceries.
