CATHOLIC CHURCH NOTES
23.-Kerrick, 1915.

April 23.-kerrlck, 1918.
The Bible is the written ami in
spired Word of God How do we
know? Because the Catholic church
of Christ has told US. 1t was the
Catholic church in the exercise of
her divine authority to teach, that
has decided for us what is Bible and
what is not Bible. The Bible was not
delivered readymade by an angel
from heaven. The Catholic church
critically examined all the writings
and books which claimed externally
and internally to be inspired of God.
Some she discarded as apocrypha, and
the rest she assembled into one book
called the Canon of Sacred Scripture,
or the Bible. Nobody disputes this.

These facts illustrate the inside on
the patronage situation, namely, that
Mr.. Farley is doing quite well for him
self, thank you, but Is compelled to
work for what he gets.
Instead of being the grand marshal
OF patronage, he Is only the Post
master General.
His man Huria has reduced the mat
ter to science. In Hurja's desk are
charts, blue prints, maps and statistics.
They show what congressional districts
must be kept in mind for the elections
next year. Also which Senators need
caressing and which localities have a
Republican tinge. And all his statistics
go~back as far as the Civil War.
Some Congressmen complain there
is too much science in it and too te,U
jobs. They are not getting many
appointments for marShalS, district
attorneys, postmdSters. They oil
1cant to knop when the bars are
going to be let do1un and the plums
passed around generally.
No one can tell them, not even Far
ley or Hurja. They say the bars may
never be down.
They must plod along as they are,
harassed by idealists who do not realize
that elections are still being held In this
country.
The Post Office Department. which is
proud of its efficiency, will groan when
It finds that it designated one of Mr.
Farley's and Mr.. Roosevelt'S closest
friends and an official here, as unknown
in Washington.

Hurja Works Out Plan
to Win Patronage
Tilt With Ickes.
BY PAUL MALLON.

L
TINE way genial Jim Farley is
putting it over on honest Harold
Ickes in their patronage strug-
i gle has all insiders tittering
behind their hands.
They admoniSh their friends to tell
no one about it, least of all IckeS. But
he has already begun to smell a mouse.
Apparently Mr.. 1ckes thought he
had Subdued Farley phen he put
handouts on Emil Hurjd. the Farley
man Friday in the public 1uOrks set
np Ickes gaze Hurja an obscure
Office and told him to keep out OF
the Uay.
Ickes then intrusted patronage to his
executive assistant. Ebert K. Burlew.
That hurt Mr. Farley's feelings. AS far
as he was concerned, 1ckeS might as
we'll have chosen Herbert Hoover to dis
pense patronage. Burlew is holdover
from the Hoover regime.
Hurja Works Out Scheme.
Mr.. Hurja was hurt, too He became
meek and apologetic. He was just big
misunderstood man. All he wanted to
Go was to play around a little with
patronage even if he could not be i'm
portant.
So finally he worked out a scheme
whereby he could draw up list Of
political eligibles for appointments. He
had files, files and files showing how
hard each voter worked for Mr.. Roose-
velt. He had records containing the
political and moral genealogy Of every
job seeker.

CORN-HOG PROGRAM
IINHUMAN' SAYS RENO
Farmers Holiday President Brands
Wallace Plan Economic Idiocy"
With So Many Hungry.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DES MONIES, Iowa, october 18.-
Milo Reno national president Of the
Farmers Holiday Association, in a
statement last night assailed the corn
hog production plan announced by
Secretary Wallace.
LAS to the Wallace hog and corn pro-
gram" his statement said, lit Is funda-
mentally unsound. In order to strike q
balance between production and con-
sumption he proposed diminishing pro-
duction IS per cent to bring it down
to meet present consumption with 20
per cent of our people hungry.
"And were it possible for his program
to be made effective, We could continue
to have one-fifth Of our population
continually facing hunger. The inhu-
manity, as well as the economic idiocy
contained in this program will eventu-
ally defeat it,"
Evening star., 1933-10-18

It was agreed Burlew would call Oh
Hurja whenever job was open. Hurja
would submit 10 or Is names of eligibleS
with their records. Burlew would then
make the selection.
The Trick.
HaplesS Emil went about that busi-
ness with a shreWdness which deserved
reward. . He knew the man he wanted
for each job. The problem was to put
his selection over on Burlew.
The records helped. One man In the
list always was made out to be an angel
The others were always villains.
But this system ,ras hazardous be-
cause Bnrle,o occasionally chose the
DillGins. Hurja fired that by sub
mitt'ng only one name tiOo or three
days before an appointment Uas to
be made. Then he 1rOuld become
entangled in his records until the last
moment. When Burle1D called ON
him for other names Hurjd Mould
offer halt dozen incOnseQuentidl
ones ii he offered any at all.
The result is that, unbeknown to
Ickes, the genial Jim has installed nine
Of every ten men appointed in the
Public Works setup.
The wounded Mr.. Hurja was just as
efficient when it came time to select
Republican on the Deposit 1nsur-
ance Corporation. Mr.. Hurja knows
what kind OF Republicans he wants in
office, as well as Democrats.
Ten-Year Record Required.
A certain Republican authority SUBJ
mitted to him a list of several men
from which to choose Hurja was
sorry, but he already had a list of his
own. Furthermore, the list submitted
by the Republican did not have the
records Of the men on it. Nothing
could be done until each name on the
Republican list was accompanied by
the mans record for 10 years back.
By the time this was done the ap-
pointment was made Mr.. Hurja was
sorry. but the appointment had to be
made from his list because the other
list wasn't ready.

Opinions Vary Widely.
In official circles various opinions
prevail.
One view is that it is true there are
many Nazis in the Austrian army, but
they gradually will be weeded out
especially If harsher methods are
employed
Another view is that the "Suppressive
measures are only helping the Nazis
both in and out of the army"

Foreign Minister Edouard Benes of
Czechoslovakia, who was met at the
railroad station by Chancellor Englebert
Dollfuss and ministers of the Little
Entente.
Extraordinary precautions were taken
to guard against any untoWard hap

There was great speculation concern
ing possible results of the Benes visit.
Officially, it was said economic mat
terS' chiefly were up for discussion.
Simultaneous with his visit here,
Benes' own newspaper, Prayer Presse,
published an undisguised warning that
the friendly relations of Austria and
Czechoslovakia can be effectively fur
thered only if no extreme tendencies
win the upper hand in Austria"
Benes' Visit Denounced.
The Pan-German Nueste Mach
richten bluntly denounced the Benes
visit under the. circumstances as med
ding in internal Austrian affairs al
though it certainly is not our mission
to defer the theology of Starhemberg :"
The official Austrian Gazette quoted
only the first portion of the Prayer
Presse comment and conspicuously
omitted the warning.
The semi-official DoIlfuss organ
ReichspoSt. meanwhile made front
page discussion of "Germany's perse-
cution and its consequences. The
newspaper concluded by saying the
present European crisis is directly due
to the iniquity of the 1919 peace
treaties and it is obvious that the
leadership toward the only possible
solution is that of Premier Mussolini
