Catholics, Je1Us Among Leaders Of Young Nation To Loud Greatness Of Washington

thrill, of ''The Spirit of '76", 1t is well not to forget that Q driving force in that spirit" wes the sine cere conviction of the patriots Cine cluding supposed aenostics like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jeferson) that they were acting. under the direction of 6 superin- tending Providence.
 ImmortaIs
 There was a very beautiful rela- tionship between those three American patriots--G George Wash ington, Charles Carroll 'of Car- rollton" and his cousin John Car roll, first Catholic Bishop of America. The first two were the wealthiest men in America, and like the third richest patriot in the country, John Hancock, they thought more of the cause of lib- erty than they did of their money, which they used literally to back that cause.
 Bishop John Carroll expressed his distinguished cousins view as well as his own in his funeral ora- ton for Washington:
 "Whilst he lived we seemed to stand on loftier ground, for breathing the same air, inhabiting the same country, enjoying the same Constitution and laws as the sublime and magnanimous Wash- ington. He was invested with a glory that shed 8 lustre on all around him."
 Charles Carroll lived longer than any of his fellow signers of the Declaration of Independence, to enjoy the respect of his country men and to see his country devel. op, and to take an active part m the new enterprises himself.
 First Railroad
 On the 4th of July, 1928 (52 years after he helped to declare Independence) he drove the first spike in the first American rail" road, the Baltimore and Ohio-in which he was an of1cial, and he lived to see it operating and to ride on it himself.

 Gentlemen: Not to acknowl- edge with gratitude the affection ate address and benevolent wishes of my fellow citizens on my re- tirement from public life, would prove that have been unworthy of the confidence which they have been pleased to repose in me.

But not to your sword alone is our present happiness to be ascribed; that, in- deed, opened the way to the reign of freedom; but never was it per- fectly secure, till your hand gave birth to the Federal Constitution; and you renounced the joys of re- tirement, to secure by your ad- ministration in peace what you had achieved in war.
 'To the Eternal God who is thy refuge, we commit in our prayer to the care of thy precious life; and when full of years thou shall be gathered unto the people, thy righteousness shall go before thee, and we shall remember, amidst our regret, that the Lord hath set apart the Cody for himself whilst thy name and thy virtues will re- main an indelible memorial on our minds.

the self-organization Of employees at

The board also charged in a COM
plant against the two corporations
that United States Steel had given
financial support to local employe
representation plans within the par
ent corporation and its various sub
sidiarieS.
The board announced it will hold a
hearing on the complaint here De-

By the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, December IA
Chilean proposal for limitation Of
ornaments by the 81 American repub-
lies ran into possibly fatal opposition
at committee meeting Of the Inter-
American Peace Conference today.
Gen. Jose Maria Moncada. ex-Presi-
dent of Nicaragua. told the Arms
Limitation Committee such a project
was useless because of the heavy
armament programs of European ma
tions.
His strong statement against the
plan. coupled with expected opposi-
ton from the United States and
Argentina, appeared to doom the
Chilean resolution to further stiff
obstacles in the committee and created
doubt whether it ever would reach the
conference floor at plenary session.
Not Regarded Regional Problem.
The United States and Argentina
were understood to hold the view that
arms limitation cannot be effective
unless it is carried out on a world
wide scale and should not be consid-
cred as regional problem for discus
sion at this parley.
The Chilean plan expresses desir-
ability of limiting armaments Of the
American republics to bare defense
necessities and urges negotiation of
regional, bilateral limitations pacts.
The aged Gen. Moncada, speaking
emphatically, asked the committee:
Can We tell the United States she
should limit her ornaments while all
the world powers are arming madly?
Can we ask Argentina to limit her
defenses in view of the dangerous
European situation?
Can We urge limitation Of arma-
ments in view of the possibility some
European power may invade us?
I'VE cannot, with Europe armed to
the teeth-indeed armed to the very
eyes.
"Yes. some European countries look
at their neighbors as though their
very eyes we're bristling with guns and
bayonets."
Chilean, Uruguay and Brazilian
delegates voiced approval Of the arms
limitation resolution.
Agreement Sought.
The conference delved today into
the delicate task of bringing agree
ment out of more than 80 projects
submitted to seal peace in the West
ern world.

that submitted last night by the

DELAY IS UPHELD
IN UTILITY SUITS
u. S. Held Entitled to Rea-
sonabIe Stay in Holding
Company Actions.

The Supreme Court today indicated
its belief that the Government is en-
titled to a reasonable stay of suits by
holding companies attacking the con-
stitutionality OF the public utility act
of 1885.
The court, reconvening after a two
week recess, held in another opinion
that the American Telephone g. Tele-
graph Co. and A telephone companies
are not entitled to an injunction which
would prevent the Federal Communi-
cations Commission from prescribing
uniform system of accounts for tele-
phone companies.
In two other opinions, both unani-
nous. the court upheld the constitu-
tionality of the California and Illinois
fair trade" acts. which prohibit the
sale of standard products at less than
a price fixed by the producer.
Stay Case Back to d. C. Court.
The effect of the holding company
decision is to send the case back to
District Court, with instructions to
re-examine the facts in accordance
with principles laid down in the opin-
ion and to grant stay if such ac-
ton is justified by the exigencies of
the Governments situation.
District Court. in its original ac-
tion, granted the Governments re-
quest for a stay until its suit against
the Electric Bond g. Share Co. was
decided in the Supreme Court. This
ruling, the high court held, was so
broad that it amounted to an abuse
Of discretion and was therefore In.
valid. The local Court of Appeals
reversed the District Court, the ap-
pellate justices announcing their rul-
ing in two separate opinions.
