lt cOulu never De made legal for 1t was against the law of God. The medical groups divided into two groups differing sharply on both ethical and medical grounds. However, when the ballot ing was complete the bill was de- feated and the law of Massachusetts continued to agree with the law of God.
 Commenting on the contest in this weeks issue of America the editor makes a good point when he indi- cates that: "It is unfortunate, how ever that the impression persists in some quarters that the Catholic Church wished to impose its relig- ious tenets and discipline of non- Catholics-as though they would like to make 1t mandatory for all to abstain from meat on Friday. Birth control is an intrinsic evil for all. It is not a matter of Church dis cipline any more than murder, rob- bery and arson"
 EARL BROWDER
 SWALLOWS HARD
 The standard cuss-word of the Communist Party is ''reactionary." When the comrades have labelled you reactionary they feel that they have damned you beyond redemp- ton.
 Last week the Party's chief, the ex-convict Earl Browder, tied '.re- actionary" to the wrong people and swallowed very hard in apology. In an editorial in the Daily Worker, 3rowder charged that "reactionar- ies" in State Department were try- ing to start a row between Chaing Kai Shek and the Communist arm- les.
 Promptly Browder was summoned to Washington by Under-Secretary Sumner Wells. MT. Wells lectured him for an hour and Browder went back to New York and wrote another editorial in the Daily Worker con- fesSing that: What I had thought of as 8 heavy door that needed pushing open, proved to be but curtain of lack on information" But door or curtain from now on Brow der will handle gently anything labelled State Department.

 Commissioners Harry ]. Perkinscss and Joseph DeLuca pointed out thas the buildings were in poor condi. ton and could not be used as schools again. School Building fn, spector John McOough reported that the city building inspector had recommended raging of the buildings.
 At one time the city defense council considered setting up a day nursery at the Porter street school building but plans were abandoned.
 pr. Condon stated that in asking for bids the board could make spe- cifications that the ground be lev. eled of to make way for establish- ment of playgrounds on the prem ises.
