have free choice of government and
religion
We are tied impartially to all
people and are Wiling to collaborate
in any new order which will bring
just peace. he said in a 40-min-
+ ute speech broadcast from Vatican
City.
FAITH NECESSARY
After the message he gave his
surbi and orb" blessing to the
world
Judicial order is necessary for
total peace the Pope said. 1T is
useless to fight without faith in
Gcd.

forts of various nations can peace

no further conflict will be possible
III future.
Those who aim at peace must
aim at the refrigeration of lawful
order. which is at present being
altered by the posipitism and utili-
tananism of various political and
social movements
4 HOLY TRUST
At the outset of his speech. after
the college of cardinals had deliver
ed their Christmas greetings, the
Pope said he felt compassion, ac-
oording to the motto miserio super
turpam Il pity the people,.
1T is for us a holy trust, inviola-
bic and at all times valid" he said
The Pope appealed to men of good
will and generous heart to carry
out a program of social pacification
Of the world.
There has arisen an era which
excludes any ethical conception and
farpets the existence of God" he
said.
EXAGGERATED LAW
He decried legal posivitism"
which, he said. exaggerated the
value CT purely human laws and
sought to establish the supremacy
OF a particular nation, race or class
Addressing the youth of the world,
the Pope said:
You are inspired by youthful.
eXuberant enthusiasm. But enthus-
iaSm must be turned to the service
of God
YOU should fight in accordance
with truth and with eternal laws
CT God
Those who aim at building a new
world must fight for the right of
free choice Of government and of
religious order.
They must refuse that the state
should make of individuals a herd
CT whom the state disposes as if
they were lifelesS things.

announcement by east coach

Bob WeStfall. Michigan fullback,

The election, Kerr explained,
was deemed good policy by the
coaches because Of the removal
Of the game to New Orleans.
Formerly, the coaches appointed
an offensive and a defensive
captain.

of Washington State and "Biff''
Jones Of Nebraska.
There was. in fact. so much
talent among the rs players who
compose the two squads that most
observers conceded that the sur
prise element would determine
the final winner.
A TIP FOR BIERMAN
Last year although the East
was favorite. il was just such a
surprise that gave the West a
26-f4 win. That surprise came
when Hollingberry's West squad
pulled its no hike play. Catching
the East players completely of
guard, Washington States Stan
r Johnson raced 81 yards through
the baffled East squad for the
final and winning touchdown.

IVA, CCC Now Silly

THE Senate education and labor committee has been
conducting hearings Senator McKellars bill to
abolish two nondofensc, parasitic organizations which
ought to have been put out of business by executive
proclamation when Congress voted the President about
powers
Those two organizations are the National Youth
Administration and the Civilian Conservation Corps
They are both hangovefs from New Deal days which
today are great drains the treasury and tie up
chnery and power that belong the home defense
NE.
THE NYA was created in 1888 to enable young men
to continue their college courses when their families
ould no longer pay for their higher education
On the face Of it, young whose families are in
rats ought it to US to 90 to work That's the
sound American way
However the NYA has been functioning for seven
years, and HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars have
been paid out to this organization of questionable social
service"
1t is still gong strong-so strong in fact that
according to recent expose in the Baltimore Sum- the
organization has been "segregating nearly TEN THOU
SAND machine and Woodworking tools in its
ing in the face of the fact that there crying
need for machine tools for the army and for the air force
Proselytzing for "benefcaries it has interfered
with army recruiting.
THE CCC has also outlved whatever usefulness it had
during the depression.
This organization created to put idle young men
to clearing forests and to do road work etc
The enroees should have had military training, but
pacifists and radicals prevented this
Today like the NYA, the CCC has degenerated into
mere useless eXcrescence standing example of the
bureaucratic and political boondoggng that is rife in
Washington at present,
All its "beneficiaries belong either in the army or
on war job
Charges have also been made-by the Philadelphia
Inquirerthat there had been wanton destruction of
clothing and road work equipment at CCC camps
In any the NYA and CCC should be Immediately
abolished and the young in those organizations put
into real defense service.
