The American peo ple are going through another Valley Forge and they must muster the fortitude shown by George Washington to right their modern war of independence against the lures of government panaceas which are especially tempting at this, time, President Hoover said in a Memorial Day address here.

"Numerous are 1 the temptations jumier the UlHtretHj pt, the, day to aMde oitr national pur. poses andf fro wise national policies and fundamental Ideals Of the men who bullded our Republic," Hoover said. "Never wm the lure of the rosy- path to every panacea and of easy -ways to Imagined security more tempting.

Two Hurt In Riverhead POPE MAKES FIRM DENIAL Bishops Placed in Charge of Societies and Diocesan Conference Called Btj FRANC IN RE A i ulled t'ress btaff Correspondent) Rome, May 30.

The friction between Catholics and Fascists in Italy took a grave turn today when the police of Rome raided and closed the headquarters of all Catholic clubs in the city, and orders were issued by the government to all prefects in Italy to disband the Catholic Young Men's Associations if the situation in their respective provinces seems to warrant it. The Pope struck back with an announcement of the Osseivatore Romano, the Vatican's official organ, that the Holy See had instructed Italian bishops to assume charge of protecting and directing the Azlone. Moreover, the Osservatore announced that the ecclesiastical authorities had been compelled, to suspend the forthcoming diocesan Eu-charistic Congress. Yet anothef- Vatican step was cancellation of the departure of cardinal-legate for Padua as papal legate for the seventh' anniversary" of the death of St. Anthony.

The closing of the Catholic club- in Rome caused consternation at the Vatican, which had Just drawn up a strong protest against the recent disturbances and attacks on the Aiiono Cattolica the Catholic laymen's, organization of Italy denouncing them' as a gross violation of the concord at establishing the Vatican as a sovereign state. The Catholic clubs were sealed and documents taken from the central police headquarters. The police made an inventory of all documents, papers snd books before sealing the doors. Police were placed on guard over the clubs, and notices were posted on the doors saying that the closure was a temporary measure. Several of the closed headquarters were located In the palace, which formerly waa the seat of the Pope's vicar for Rome, and which enjoys extra-territorial privileges under the Concordat.

Pope In Conference As soon as informed of the police action, the Pope conferred at length with Commandatore Au-gUBto Ciriaci, president ot Azione Cattolica; Monsignor Pizza do. Papal under-secretary of state and assistant director of Azione Cattolica, and Commandatore Giuseppe Jervollno, head of the Catholio Young Men's Association. It was understood the directors of the clubs took to the' Vatican all the papers, books and Papal flags which It was possible to remove before the police closure. The Instruction to the provincial prefects -meant that they have been' given a free hand to deal with Catholic organizations and branches ot. Azione Cattolica.

It was said reliably to be the forerunner of more serious, measures and might make possible the dls-bandment of the Azione Catholic as a whole. Some; well-informed sources expressed the opinion that a government decree ordering dlsbandment of the organization was Imminent. is More Trouble Feared The swift move by the government It was feared, would precipitate a serious situation between the Vatican and the State, with which peace had Just been made after the breach of 60 years since 1870. The Pope's latest protest was understood to contend that Insults to the Pope, such as the burning of his portraits and attacks on members" and property of Azione Cattolica, constituted a serious violation of the Lateran concord and the Italian Penal Code, which provide that the person of the Pope must be regarded as "sacred and inviolate." the same as the King. The Osservatore Romano, official Vattean organ, appeared on the streets four hours late today.

It carried an official announcement, that the Holy See had instructed Italian bishops to assume pernonnt charge Immediately of prolectln; and directing Azione Cattolica "In view of the more violent forrys of activity against Azione."

With a crowd estimated at more than 20,000 watching, the big Lockheed-Vega pUVe, in which Ruth Nichols plans i lone flight to Paris shortly, took' the air yesterday afternoon at Floyd Bennett Field, carrying a capacity load.

Clarence D. Chamberlin, veteran transatlantic flyer, who piloted a plane from Long Island Into Germany, was at the controls. The big plane got up, loaded with 645gallons of fuel, at 3:30 after a run of only 1,600 feet, mounted at a speed of 1,000 feet a minute and about 150 m(les an hour. Chamberlin afler hour and half In th yhe brought It to safe landing shortly nfter i P. M.

The ease with which lie got away he credited to th new adjustable propeller, which permits a shift to cut the air at a different angle for climbing. He held at that angle, he until he was 10,000 feet in the air. Miss Nichols, who ran out to meet Chamberlin when he returned, also expressed satisfaction- at the report of the pilot. She said tn-3 plane had done everything expected of it, according to Chamberlin. Ho gave her a detailed report of thq performance.

Climbed 17,000 Feet At an altitude of 10.000 feet, he said, he dumped 180 gallons of fuel and climbed to 17,000. "It was cold up there, and I decided to come back," he said. The big plane, which Chamberlin and Miss Nichols brought over on Friday from Will make, other flights today. with Miss Nichols at the controls probably. He was not certain whether she would fly It or not Chamberlin, however, will take It up again today.

They made an effort to get up on Friday, thy encountered some hard luck. On one attempt with the capacity load, the tale skid caught In the sand after slipping off the runwajr. There also was motor trouble, and the plane was left out over night During the night, or yesterday, some youngsters opened a' petcock and allowed more than 90 gallons of fuel to rim out of the tanks. This waa replaced before the. attempt to get up yesterday.

After reloading the tanks, Chamberlin took the plane to the far end of the long east-and-west runway, which Is 4,200 feet long, and gave her the gun. After a run of only 1,600 feet the plane was clear and started the zoom. The crowd cheered and Miss Nichols, who was watching, was highly pleased. Pleased at Trials On his return Chamberlin said he had stunted a little and the plane responded perfectly. He was highly pleased at its performance.

"It passed expectutiun," he, said. Miss Nichols declined to estimate when she might get away from Harbor Grace on her lone hop to Paris. She said It was not a "Cross country hops and ocean hops are not just stunts any more," she said. "We know a solo hop across the ocean is feasible. Col, Lindbergh proved that, I want to prove they are dependable.

"Improvements are being made to planes. This adjustable propeller is one. It permits getting away with a capacity load easily. There is a new landing gear which has permitted dropping a number of atruts. Thin lowers the resistance and permits of more speed.

Hill failed to reach Queenston. bis objective.

He was forced to call for help when water seeped through the airhole and crept up to his shoulders. Hill first words when he stepped ashore were to br. J. H. Davidson, of Niagara Falls.

For his luck charm, he carried a rabbit's foot given htm by Mrs. Raymond Morton of Rochester, N. and Ft Lauderdale, Fla. Hill entered the barrel, feet 4 inches In height and 3 feet in diameter, at a point of 3 1-3 miles above the whirlpool, at 1:31 P.

M. three minutes later two men In a rowboat began towing the heavy craft downstream, to find the river's strongest current. The barrel was painted red, white and blue tn honor of the American Decorattlon Day and flew the Canadian and American flags. More than 50,000 persons who lined both shores and the bridges, cheered the yarty. They cut It adrift at 3:13 o'clock, and left the riverman to the mercy of the currents.

But as the water crept up his body, and the barrel continued circling, he opened the hatch at the top and called for a rowboat to bring him in.
