The Gentle PreIate

ONE by the force of their achievements command
- respect from their fellows Others by the sheer virtue
of their character win love. The Most Rev. Joseph c.
Plagens of the latter type
His ecclesiastical attachments many and high.
Otherwise this simple Polish immigrant boy could not have
swiftly and steadily through the difficult ranks
of his church. because he auxiliary bishop of the
Roman Catholic diocese of Detroit while not yet So and
bishop of the Grand Rapids diocese when he died at 63
last week.
But his unvaryng gentleness, his CHEEKY goodness,
pervasve that they inspired spontaneous affection
in everybody who knew him. To meet him under
casual auspices to count him nstnctively your
friend So he will be remembered in devotion rather than
in admiration.
D fSHOP PLAGENS was good priest and wise coun-
- selor and leader. He had a sound administrative
capacity. During trying periods he handled the emotional,
first generation Polish members of the church in Detroit
with frmness and deep understanding.
The measure of his personality and his being, how
ever best revealed in his contact with children He
loved the arduous of confirmation There, in
the midst of little boys and girls, he truly radiant.
His loving kindness dspelled all and the children
gave him back their trusting love.
Important dignitaries of the church will preside at
the funeral of Bishop Pagens tomorrow And the prayers
of countless children will go with the gentle preae to his
grave.

sciousncss, Mr. Wing said that
the public had recently been
stampeding seed dealers.
He said there would be enough
seeds, though there might be
shortage of some individual
items. He added. however. that
there would be none TO waste.
He also believed sufficient fer
tiliZer and insecticides would be
available for minimum needs of
gardeners.

Il production cannot be meas
ured solely in the increase in the
number of such gardens this
year For the public is more
earnest about the whole matter
than last year, particularly with

goods, meats and other pro-
ducts.
In addition 10 individual gar
denS. there Will be community
gardens, factory gardens for en-
ployes. planting along railroad
rights Of way for rail employees
and gardens on school grounds
When ! asked Secretary Of
Agriculture Claude r. Wickard
recently what the public could
do TO be helpful in the war food
situation, he replied:
"They can stay away from
black markets, and they can add
to the food supply through VIC
tory gardens"
Mr.. Wickard hoped that the
public would raise soup beans
and other products which could
be retained for year-round use.
"INHE combined efforts of
Il town and city families in

What is called war security "antisabotage bill
in reality measure of POLITICAL SUPPRESSION. directed
against millions Americans innocent and incapable of
wrongful or injurious against the nation and employing
processes of INTIMIDATION, COERCION AND CONFUSION

THE bill itself is grossly and pulposey msnamed.
And the House of Representatives passing has de

The United States Senate which fortunately stands

necessary and UNAERCAN measure should recognize it
an American GESTAPO bill and should reject without hest

The American people, with the last vestge Of their civil
rights and their American heritage freemen at stake should
denounce the bill the Senate and denounce the House for
passing and demand fidelity to the basic principles and fun
damental institutions of democracy.
If the mscalled measure had other fault 1t would be
gangy and grevousy fault in its utter lack of necessity
AS REPRESENTATIVE FRED BRADLEY of Michigan said

"The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been doing
splendid job of rounding saboers and Axis spies under

"Where is there saboteur today who has been turned
loose because there law to punish him?
Our laws than ample to deal with sabotage and

To quote Mr. Bradley further:
There legislation the books already to put
