Late Franciscan Priest
 Made Winsted Famous

known to the few of his brethren who me him as a most amiable gentleman. He was a poet, as some of our readers know. Here, however, is something that they did not know and something that The Transcript did not know till it received the following let ter:
 Sunday P. M. Dear Editor:
 A worthy priest left this world in the person of Father Ambrose Greelis, O. F. M. He had been my father confessor for twenty-five years.
 It may be of interest for you to know that all the famous tales that were sent forth to the press by Lew Stone were the children of Father Ambrose's imaginative brain. Through Lew Stone, Fa- ther Ambrose made Winsted na- tionally known.
 Sincerely and gratefully yours, G."
 When a Franciscan writes poetry over his own name, or over his religious nama some of us are bit surprised. When he hides behind Lew Stone and suffers "penitent' to reveal his identity we are surprised indeed. We leave Father Ambrose and his storytelling to his Franciscan superiors, and they will know how to care for his memory. He was a model priest, @ successful pastor and devoted curate. He was a good hunter and he achieved marvelously with his rod and line. Not one of his fish stories have come to us. Peace to his ashes.

PRESENTS PLAN
 FOR INDUSTRIES
FOur-FOld Program Adopt ed to Regulate Wages,
 Lower Retail Prices
BY c. L. sULzBERcER

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Dec. 11.-(UP)-The council for industrial progress to- day unanimously adopted a four fold program recommending new economic legislation for adequate wage scales, lower retail prices and reduction of capital and debt charg- es which burden industry and in- crease the cost of goods" The council concurred in the be- lief that private enterprise cari- not safely be permitted to admins ter business and industry entirely free from governmental interven- tion."
 The proposals will be presented to President Roosevelt for approval by Major George L. Berry, federal coordinator for industrial coopera- tion, who called the meeting of almost 800 industrial and labor leaders.
 Recommendation Made 1. Belief in an economy of abundance which therefore consid- CTS 1t unwise and ineffective to at- tempt to solve unemployment by the limitation of production, wheth- CT imposed by government or &C., complished through voluntary agreements in industry. 2. "The committee advocates the policy of a minimum wage in in- dustry and the payment of substan- tial overtime rates for hours worked in excess of a reasonable work week."
 3. Our national industrial poli- cy should give proper recognition to the need for curbing unfair com- petitive practices which are de- structive of the public interest in the maintenance of free and open market for the sale and distrtbu- ton of goods.
 4. "A continuing study of the national income . facilitated by the establishment of a permanent advisory economic council consist ing equally of representatives of industrial management, of repre- sentatives of labor, and of represen- tatives capable of fairly represent ing the interests of the public" Raise Living Standard
 Washington, Dec. 11-(U.Po-Ed- ward A. Filene, Boston merchant, told the council for industrial pro- gress today that i've must concen- trate on the job of raising the standard of living throughout America"
 we must organize" Filene said, "to eliminate unemployment and we must find a way of excluding from our ranks any one whose bus mess pr1ctices tend to produce un- employment.
 We must organize, also, to elim- mate unnecessarily high prices for any necessary, which means the elimination of waste in the whole process of production and distribu- ton. If business in general is to be prosperous, we cannot permit any industry to be laggard in this re- spect.
 For this is the day of the masses-the day when the exploita- ton of the masses is no longer ten able"

cision wrec'-ed their initial attempt to void IVA.
 Twice III .ne space ow two weeks. IVA was defeated through the medium of dismissal motions. The first motion asked dismissal of the suit on jurisdictional grounds. After considering the IVA conten- ton that it could not be sued out side its legal residence in Northern Alabama-so fixed by congress - Judge Gore decided he had juris- diction to hear the suit in Tennes- see.
 IVA Motion OverruIed
 IVA then sought abandonment of the suit on grounds that it failed to. raise a new issue; was unclear, and cited no specific grievances. Judge Gore likewise overruled that motion, instructing IVA counsel to file a motion for clarification if the suit appeared unclear, but not to seek dismissal for that reason.
 Following disposition of the in- junction suit, Judge Gore is ex- pected to set an early date for hearing of the constitutionality suit on it's merits. His ultimate de- cision on TWAS constitutionality inevitably will be carried on appeal to the Circuit Court at Cincinnati, and thence on certiorari to the U. s. Supreme Court for final re- view - probably not before next fall.

The many strange and weird tales that came from Winsted for many years and were credited to the late Lew Stone, editor of the Winsted Citizen, were in reality products of the imagina- tion of Rev. Ambrose Greelis, o. F. M, who died recently, accord- ing to the writer of letter to The Catholic Transcript.
 Winsted's name is famous the country over as a result of the tall stories that emanated from it, and were carried by press service wires to papers all over the na- ton.
 The Transcript, in this weeks is- sue, has the following editorial: FATHER AMBROSE, EFT ALIAS
 The dead priests name was reelis, but Franciscans are sup- posed to forget home and family. His thirty odd years of clerical life are summed up in these words: Curate at Winsted; Pas tor at Winsted; Curate at Win- sted; Pastor at Winsted. He was
