Cardinal Mundelein Extends Eucharistic Congress Blessings
New Orleans reports Cardinal Mundelein declared the eighth national Eucharistic congress would bless all races and creeds. He planned to file a report for Pope Pius XI after delivering the benediction, as some 200000 worshippers participated in the events and 110000 joined a five hour procession. Heat illness affected many with 800 treated. Father Beil suffered a heart attack during the march.
