|DE MILLEPICKS l GREATEST FOOLS
Noted Authority Excludes Him Who Asserts There
 Is No God

Can you name the ten greatest fools in history? Cecil B. DeMille can. In fact, he did so in one of the late numbers of Liberty. His selection is good. Every one of them wear the cap and bells very well. Of course, as the long his- tory of the race tor, for that mat- ter, the short space of any genera tion) offers a surfeit of contenders for the drnce's cap, many of MT. De Miles readers question his choice. Samson and the maid who destroyed Carlyie's first volume of the French Revolution" were fool ish; also Louis XIV, and the soldier who slew Archimedes. But what of Napoleon and the Moscow adven- ture, one inquirer asks? Or, why select George III rather than the profligate Charles II.
 We would like to ask MT. De Mile why he has not included in his list the gent "who says in his heart: There is no God?" Perhaps it is ignorance on our part to sup pose that Cecil De Mile would make the mistake of granting that such a person ever existed. MT. De Mile may hold as strongly as Catholics do that the real atheist is 6 fiction. It is an axiom of Cath olic philosophy that no man con- sidering the universe can convince himself absolutely that there is not an infinite cause behind it whom men call God"
 Yet, on second thought, the man who says" there is no God, is a fool. He says what he does not be- neve-and cannot prove.
 There is a variety of testers of this sort existant today, They can be found especially in what St Paul termed "The High Places;s leaders who substitute state fos God as the absolute, and thW make the end of man this time rather than eternity. Such as thess act and "bluster" as though there were no God. But they fool no one but themselves. Because only '"The fool has said in his heart: There ia no God" (Ps. 13, D.

UNION COUNCIL
 SUPPORTS TONE
disappointment Urged in Resolution Adopted Last
 Night at Meeting

State Labor Commissioner Joseph I'M. Tones reappointment by Gov ernor-elect Raymond E. Baldwin is urged in resolution passed last night at meeting of the Connecti- cut State Industrial Union Council, comprising c. I. O. representatives, held at c. I. O. headquarters here. The session was the first since the c. I. O. state convention.
 Citing newspaper stories to the ef- feet that John J. Egan has been mentioned as probable successor to l Commissioner Tone, the resolution states that the council "unalterably opposes" MT. Egans appointment. The latter, as state A. F. of L. sec- lretary-treasurer, has shown bias and enmity toward c. l. O. aftil1ateS" the statement continues.
 Although Commissioner Tone is an A. F. of L. member, the resolu- tion remraks, he "has been unpre- 1udiced and impartial" and "has converted the state labor depart ment from a parody and a joke to one of the best in the country"
 The council has promised to CO., operate with A. F. of L. afiliateS in fostering Commissioner Tones re- appointment and will urge c. l. O.. unions to back the resolution.
 Chairmen chosen for the new council committees last night in clude Thomas R. Molloy, council president; Jerome Shore, both of Hartford; and Charles Rivers, Bridgeport.
