Republicans Complain
OF 'EmbezzIement'
By the Associated Press.

The investment of social Sc.
curity funds in Government securi-
ties brought Republican complaint
OF "embezzlement" at House hear
ing yesterday and Democratic de-
mand that the word be deleted from
the record.
The accusation came from Repre-
sentatives Gearhart, Republican, OF
California, and Knutson, Republic
an. of Minnesota. at hearings before
the Ways and Means Committee, OF
which they are members, on pro-
posed changes in the Social Secur-
ity Act.
Representative Knutson compared
the handling of the funds with an
insurance company's taking money
from policyholders and spending 1t
"on its own debts
Both would be guilty of embez-
element" he asserted. When Repre-
sentative Buck, Democrat, of Cali
fornia. objected to that word as
too strong and asked Mr.. Knutson
to withdraw it, the Minnesotan
said: IF the gentleman knows of
q stronger word, I will withdraw
'embezzlement.'
Representative Gearhart contend
ed taking this social security money
Is downright steal" adding that
the Social Security Act lin effect
has legalized an embezzlement, a
misappropriation. a theft. a swindle,
q downright misapplication of the
peoples money"

VATICAN CITY, Feb. 1.-THE
armed forces Of the Vatican, curious
remnants Of an army which once
waged wars in the name of the
Pope, wore black sashes today as
part Of their brilliant uniforms of
many colors.
They are the Noble Guard, Pal
atine Guard, Swiss Guard and
papal gendarmes. They will wear
the black sashes until a new Pope is
elected.
These guards will play an i'm
portant part in the many ceremon-
les marking the obsequies Of the
dead Pope and the election and
coronation of his successor.
On the pontiff's death Noble
guardsmen formed a guard of honor
at his bier. while Palatine guards
men and officers of the Swiss Guard
stood at attention in antechambers
Eight Noble Guardsmen will
carry the Pope's casket through
lines Of Swiss guardsmen and gen.
darmes to st. Peters, and Noble
guardsmen, with their swords un-
sheathed, will watch beside it there,
with Palatines and Swiss farther of
The story Of the Pope's soldiers is
a long one. It goes back to the
early days Of the church, when the
Emperor Constantine gave Pope
Sylvester Is soldiers for the protec-
tion Of his person.
AS the temporal power of the
popes rose with the decline of other
authority in Rome, the military
forces Of the papacy rose propor-
tionately.
At periods during the Middle Ages
there was a papal navy as we'll as
a papal army. In the 9th century
Pope John VIII sent out a fleet
to fight the Saracens and some
centuries later Calixtus III dis
patched men-of war to battle the
Turks.
Disarmament was not part of
Vatican policy in the 10th century
Armed forces ware greatly increased
by popes Of that period. artillery
schools, arsenals and armories
established and many Notifications
built. The Noble, Palatine and Swiss
Guards of today trace their estab-
lishment to that century.
The Swiss, recruited from the
Catholic Cantons of Switzerland,
are the nearest thing to a regular
army at the Vatican. They we're
formed in 1905 because of the repu-
tation of Swiss troops for incor-
ruptibility. There was always a
peril of professional soldiers selling
out to the enemy in those days, and
sometimes even papal troops did
that.
The Swiss guard has been in the
thick of many battles between then

teachings and counsels of Plus XII
have always found in this great Ma
ton an atmosphere of understand
ing, even among those who do not
acknowledge the primacy of the sue
cessor of St. Peter"
Msgr. Corrigan, rector of Catholic
University, which is one of the few
pontiflcal universities in the world
and the only one in America, de-
clared in his tribute to the holy
father:
Pope Plus XII was a Pope of our
times. World turmoil prevailed
throughout the entire span of his
pontiflcate With vigilant calm and
holy patience, he continually ex-
horted the world to return to God
and His peace"
Radio Debut in 1881.
In connection with the broadcast
today. it was recalled. the first time
a Pope ever partipated in a mass
celebrated in the United States was
when the late Pope made his radio
debut February IL, 1881. He was
speaking on the occasion of the 9th
anniversary Of his coronation and
his voice was received here during a
mass being celebrated in the crypt
of the Shrine on the university
campus.
Leaders Of other creeds Joined in
the tribute to the dead pontiff. In
one of several radio broadcasts last
night expressing sorrow at his pass
ing. Bishop James E. Freeman said
The genius of the seer and of the
statesman were singularly blended
in this great leader"
Wednesdays pontifical mass of
requiem will be sung by Archbishop
Cicognani at the conclusion of
which he will pronounce final alb
solution along with other members
of the American Hierarchy in at
tendance. Msgr. Corrigan will
preach the eulogy. Already work

pended during the ceremony.

differences save as they color and
affect American citizenship of the
present. It is no time for either the
intolerance of irreligion or the inert
ness of unapplied and unpracticed
Christianity.
I'VE have seen before our own
eyes public and private morals
shrivel. decline and drag down a
civilization gone mad with meglo-
mania"
Pastors in the pulpits of thou
sands of Catholic churches will an
nounce the crusade tomorrow and
on succeeding Sundays. On later
appointed Sundays Catholics will
pledge themselves to active support
of the crusade in demanding that
the principles of Christian democ-
racy be maintained in every forward
step of national life.
Although addressed to Catholics,
Msgr. Corrigan's address makes it
clear that Catholicism is not a pre-
requisite to alignment with the or
ganization.
The crusade follows close on the
undertaking of the university to de-
velop courses in principles of de-
mocracy to be taught in the paro-
chial schools throughout the land.
The late Pope made this suggestion
personally to the American hier-
archy in a letter on the occasion of
the beginning of the university S
golden jubilee celebration.
Program Changed.
Originally intended to present
greetings to the Pope, the program
was hurriedly changed to pay tribute
to the late pontiff. The Most Rev.
Michael J. Curley, Archbishop of
Baltimore and chancellor of the uni
versity, said the pontificate of Plus
XII had achieved world events
which will secure his name in his
tory as a great Pope"
The Lateran treaty will probably
be the factor most frequently COM
pelling the mention. of his name in
the history of the world" he de-
clared.
The Right Rev. Fulton J. Sheen.
associate professor of philosophy at
the university, will speak over the
National Broadcasting network at
7:30 pm. in a special program ex-
pressing appreciation of the life of
the Pope.
