BROADCAST MESSAGE
Vallean City, Feb. 7. From a wheel-chair, His Holiness The Pope, in
voice which was faint and faltering, to-day broadenst his message to the Eucharistic Congress in Manila. He exhorted his hearers to renewed missionary zeal and the spreading of the Gospel. He audibly sobbed when he pronounced the Benediction.
The Pope spoke in Church Liitin, after which his message was trans- lated Into English. His Holiness said:
Venerable brethren and belovel children-First of all, we warmly felicitate you for the fact that you
have, with great folemnity and fervent piety, prepared a triumph for Jesus Christ......Our hope is that, from a more ardent love of Our Lord in the august Sacrament of the Altar und from more frequent communion with Him, there may come a daily increase of devotion to missionary activity. May the blessings of the Almighty God, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost descend upon you ord remain for ever. Anien." Vaited Press.

The first netion of the Senate will probably be a meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday, the Committee having been called by the Chairman, Senator Henry Ashurst, Democrat of Arizona.
It is considered doubtful whether the Justices will consent to testify before the Committee.
Sald Senator Burke: "I suppose there might be some question about the Justices voicing opinions on 'other than general Judiciary reforms, but at least I will favour inviting them." -United Press.
