school enrolment above its 1887 level

The men who make business of

might expect a total enrolment of L.

last year.
But, said DR.. Donald P. Davis of
the Department of Education:

dents in the high schools longer, ef-

 They had no organization men in Spain or ill Mexico" he said "The persecution of the church in Germany did not begin until they had first disbanded the center par ty and until they had muzzled the Catholic Press. And Catholic ac- ton means just what it says-ac- tion, not talk. It does not help to listen to lectures on Communism, to discuss it mechanically. If we want to accomplish anything we must offer something practical. Selfish employers of labor have flattered the church by calling it the great conservative force, and then called upon it to act as police force while they paid but a pittance of wages to those who worked for them.
 of course there is danger of Communism in our midst. The Holy Father points that out to us. But don't let others use it as a cloak to cover corrupt practices when they cry against Communism, and them selves practice social injustice when they fight against minimum wage and girls and women are trying to live on 10 or IS cents an hour Surely we can see here is some thing wrong and it is here that Catholic action should come in"

Chicago, Jan. 3-CUP)-George Cardinal Mundelein, head of the Chicago archdiocese, last night con- demned selfish employers of labor who practice social injustice" and called upon the laity and clergy to rally to the ballot box as practical means of relieving the condition of the poor. Speaking before 2,500 members of the Holy Name society, he urged strong organization to combat the various kinds of "isms, " and found fault with his own church members for inactivity in fighting such forces.
 He appealed to the laity to give all aid possible in correcting the condition of girls and women strug- gling to live on meager wages.
 His statements, clergy members said, reiterated his support of ad- ministration attempts to rehabili- tate the poor and relieve unemploy- ment. The Cardinal is a close friend of President Roosevelt and was his host at a luncheon last Nov ember when the chief executive made his historic speech on ag- greSSor nations.
 'The trouble with the Catholic church in the past" the Cardinal said, "has been that we too often were allied with the wrong side"

 Sometimes opposition is what he needs. If he is not opposed, he is apt to feel too sure of himself and opposition will make him stop and think. It is impossible to get 120,- 100000 people to think alike except for the welfare of the whole nation and in that we must think right.
 When the leaders purge them selves of mere personality or private points of view for spite it is not asking too much to do away with all of that and look clearly and ra- tionally at these things as they are and not act on a passion. which is bad leadership"

terested only ln themselves were not trustworthy advisers. One must have a big, noble soul espe- cially in a democracy like ours. to think of the welfare of all of the people, he said. He urged Catholics to keep their heads and to look clearly at the issues. Don't be swayed by mere talk, very cheap at times," he said. Look at the req son of things: stand by what is right and true and not be swept off your feet. T do not know where they make up all this propaganda, but it develops from time to time and then passes, but oftentimes not until it has done it's harm"
 He emphasized the need of pray CT during the present world unrest
 "The conflict has begun, and it is fierce to the death" he said. Tt is no time to be neutral. We must take sides, either on the side of God and law and rightful authority established by the will of God and the will of the people, or anarchy, destruction and complete unhappi- ness. With all this clamor for peace, what are the leaders of the nations doing to attain it? They are all saying they want peace. Really, one must wonder whether they mean it or not. There is not much proof that they are in earnest about keeping peace, even when they have it."

MURDER VICTIMS
 ARE IDENTIFIED

Middlebury, Vt., Jan. 3-CUP)- Identification of three murder vic- timS whose skeletons were found buried in a lonely lane May 15, 1885 was believed established today. The victims probably were Mrs. Cora Elizabeth Maxfield Golden, 43, her son Charles Edward, Jr., IA and her daughter Beulah Elizabeth 10, who vanished from their Milton home ill 1923, according to Chief State Inves- tigator Alno B. Franzoni.
 The trio were slain by bullets from .38 calibre automatic pistol in 1880 or 1881, he said c. Edward Golden, husband and father of the victims, died last March. He was 9 years older than his wife.
 After Harvard University scientists established age, height and weight of the victims, Franzoni checked records of missing persons from all parts of the country and the Gold ems were the only persons I have found who might have been the vic- timS."
 Identity of the slayer of the trio remains a mystery, Franzoni said. He recalled that a railroad section hand disappeared from Milton at the same time as the Goldens.

Priso- ners in these institutions are almost all political prisoners and the politi- cal prisoners, in turn are almost all communists.
 Close Cooperation
 This move marked the close CO., operation, in face of the Japanese war, among elements in China who had fought each other for years. Nevertheless, Chinese said, the new government did not mark a turn toward the left but on the contrary was turn to the right and victory for more conservative elements.

NEW DEAL WINS
 POWER VICTORY
Supreme Court Has Upheld Loans, Grants Made to
 Municipalities

Washington, Jan. 3.-(UP)-The supreme court today approved con- stitutionality of the Public Works Administration program of loans and grants to municipalities for con- struction of power projects.
 Hailed by administration spokes- men as a major victory in the New Deals far-flung drive for cheaper power, the decision was regarded as a "go-ahead" signal for construction of 52 municipal power projects es- timated to cost more than $80,000000 which have been held up pending a final ruling on validity of the PWA loans and grants.
 The decision was delivered by Justice George Sutherland. A brief note attached to it stated that Jus tice Hugo L. Black "concurs in the result"
 Lacked Authority
 Sutherland's opinion was based primarily on finding that the two utilities which challenged the statute lacked the authority to bring their suit.
 By it's action, tho supreme court affirmed circuit court of appeals de- cisions upholding the program in the face of attacks by the Duke Power company and the Alabama Power company, both Of which charged that the entire pWA pro- gram, and the power loans and grants in particular, were illegal.
 Full Power Under Law
 The opinion pointed out that the municipalities in question had full power to construct the systems un- der state law.
 Sutherland's opinion was written in the Alabama case, but in it he noted that the Duke case will be determined upon the authority of our present decision"
 The opinion asserted that the corn- petition to be furnished by the mu- nicipal systems lis entirely lawful"
 The Duke company challenged validity of PWA loan and grant to Greenwood County, S. C., for con- struction of the Buzzard Roost Fly droelectric project on the Saluda river. The Alabama company at tackled four proposed municipal power projects in small northern Alabama communities.
 Attorneys for the companies ar gued that PWA Administrator Har- old L. Ickes had so administered the power phases of PWA that the pro- gram actually constituted a "club" whereby Ickes sought to force pri- vate utilities to lower their rates.
