 "EHery good Catholic, and, in. deed, every decent citizen, must rec ognize that evil forces are ct work not only in Europe or in Asia but right here in our own beloved land.
 Grimes of passion and hate and greed are everyday occurrences, Secretly and subtly the decency of the individual is being undermined, The home--the foundation and cor- nerstone of the stateA-is Wciously assaiied. Public morality is the ob- ject of cunning and artful attacks. Every known means of expression is being used to degrade and debase the mind and heart, the thoughts and the sentiments of the whole

M'NUTT REPLIES
 TO COM. DANAHER
System of State Unem- plOyment Laws May Have
 to Be Discarded

Hartford, Conn, Nov. 28-(UP)-- Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt suggested today that the system of state unemployment laws may have to be discarded for cen. tralized federal control ito meet the trying times which lie ahead"
 McNutt. replying 10 State Labor Commissioner Cornelius J. Dan- aher's demand for details of the proposed liberalization of state tfn- employment compensation fund S said he had grave doubts about the wisdom of continuing our present system of state unemployment laws which vary SO widely from state to state, when the basic problem Of unemployment involves nationwide economy"
 The present arrangement, he said, has proven "unsatisfactory and inc equitable" for workers who work for short periods of time in several states and thus are not able to build up benefit rights In any one state.
 Moreover he added, "when the pcst-dstense period hits us, I won- der whether the federal govern inent can stand idly by when the unemployment insurance reserves of states with high peaks and valleys of unemployment are depleted, as they well may be-"
 "I have always felt that the states and localities should be responsible for dealing with problems that are

 Join Libyan Fight
BY WALTER COLLINS

United Press Staff COrrespondent)
 Cairo, November 2S.-(UP) -A A military spokesman said today that British forces were fighting "in a spirit of com plete confidence" to crush Axis resistance east of To- bruk and that a New Zealand column was driving into strong enemy opposition west of the Tobruk zone
 (In London, q British spokesman saId that final Judgment was not yet possible but that dispatches tia- dicated the British had cut off large German armored forces east of To- bruk and were close to success in their drive 10 destroy Axis striking power" by wiping out these eies naents).
 The operations in the zone east of Tobruk (between Tohruk and the Egyptian burder), wero described by the spokesman as follows: i--A main battle area west of Slal Rezegh, which lies ie or 20 miles southeast of Tobruk. where the Bytt- iSh are confident of success.
 2-A moving front against q "bad- ly beaten" German column moving In the direction of Gambut. This Column was part of an Axis Faidirg group that was driven back from the Egyptian border area.
 3-A second group from the raid- Ing column now moving westward 90 miles south Of the .dambut zone and facing British tanks.
 NaxIs Handicapped
 Dispatches indicated that the Ger mans were severly handicapped by destruction of their fuel and supply bases due to British infantry ad- vances. The British armored ccl- umns seemed to be holding the fields of battle and thus were able to sal- wage their damaged equipment.
 There was no new information re. garding the most advanced British column which moved 200 miles across the desert to the dialo Oasis region, overpowering the Italian garrison there and putting itself in 6 position to strike northward ct the Axis rear lines and supply base west Of Derna.
 The main battle front, however, was still in the TohFuk -sidi Rezegh area.
 The communique reported that tho New Zeaianders after contacting the Tobruk forces ill the vicinity of I'd Duda, have wheeled to the west against the powerful concentration of Axis troops which have been en- gagged by the British north of Re- zegh since shortly after the start Of the offensive.
 The communique said Axis troops which were cut of by the junctsre of New Zealand and Tobruk lines are in considerable strength east Of the Czegh- -Tobruk line and are be- ing engaged.
 The Axis ralding column which had crossed over into Egypt around SidI Omar was reported by the con- munique to have swerved around and attempted to move back west in two columns. The rorthernmoEt
