CREDITORS
 MAY BE PENAuZED

Many persons and firms who fur nished goods or services to the city in l942 have failed to present their despite pleas that they do SO, Bud- get Director Thorvald E, Olsen re- ported yesterday to the board of finances. It would be a far differ ent story, he said, if 1t were known that the city had no great amount of funds available. L
 Under the charter bills for 1922 must be submitted by January 30 If they are to be paid before the city books for last year are closed, Otherwise, MT. Olsen pointed" out, the creditors may have to wait sev- eral months or more before they get
 their money. lJ t'
 The laxity of creditors will make it necessary for the finance board to hold another meeting before Janu- ary 30, to approve payment of ad- ditional bills that are received. The board adjourned subject to the call of the chair.

Lest someone think the Windy City is spending money. that could go to better use in the war effort, let 1t be known that the unit now nearing completion was started and financed before Pearl Harbor. Funds came Jointly from the city admin. istration and the federal public works authority. With pSiorities and i1lanpower presenting a near ll1surtnountable problem, there are no plans, afoot to extend the tubes until peace comes.
 Chicagoans hope, incidentally. that they never will be. required to take, advantage of one wartime use for the subway. Tn case an enemy air attacks, the 16 miles of finished tunnels could provide comfortable bor1b-proorn shelter for more than 1S0,O00 persons.
 Overcome Priorities
 All things considered, when the Chicago underground goes into op- eration, 1t will be one of the en- gii1eering and designing rliarvels of the, day. The route 1t takes was bored from wet clay Like soil that presented many technical problems. When the war came, priorities time and again blighted the efforts of the builders to continue construc- ton. But soon the job will be done, . tribute to the, American desire to get "there" faster.

 The underground trains will travel far beneath the path of Cllicago's first. public transit system which was inaugurated back in the 1860s. In those days. horse and cable- powered cOnveyances provided the swiftAst and most modem trans portation of Slow-Ilovlng age. The passing years, however have changed all that.

Initial plans called for the tube to be in service now. The war, how ever, has pushed back the date. But when MT. and Mrs. John Quincy Public get their first gander ct the marvel, they will harbor no regrets for having waited. s

 In the first place, the subway will be a tilne-saver for an estimated .15O,000 .Chicagoans who daily will use 1t for transportation 7 to and from work or shopping. All of the minutes leclipEed from older transit methods will not come entirely from the speed of the trains that will whiz through the underground tubes. Much of the saving will rec suit from modern engineering eff- ciency and design.
 Passengers entering the subter- ranean stations from the street will be greeted with a combination of brilliant color, soft lights and mar ble walls, An eScalator will whislk them to the mez1aniY1e level 1B feet below the surface of the earth. Stairways will be available for those who wish to use them. Automatic turnstiles will permit rapid ccllec- ton of fares and facilitate speed ip the loading. of trains. Twentieth century efficiency Is truly the key. note of Chicago,s new subway.
 But that isn't All.
 Designers have strean1lined the project in a grandioSe manner from ceiling to floor. All lighting will be 1iuorescent. Gone will be the so- called prison atmosphere sorne- times refiectde in underground sta tions of other cities. Floors of the stations will be Qf red concrete. Walls will be finished in glass pan- els of various colors. Pillars in the stations will be encased in black marble. Escalator sidewalks, orig inally planned for execution in war-vital aluminium, are being com pleted in white bronze. Tn all, I6 stations are located in the Loop district. A continuous platform lined with shops and concessions will extend rom one end of the downtown section to the other.

Bishop Denounces
 Jews Persecution
Berlin Priest Reveals Continued Resistance of German Z, Catholics to Theories of Nazism

washington, Jan. 22 - (UPo - Continued resistance of German Catholics to the theories of NaSisrn has been revealed by the puhlica!! ton here of 0 pastoral letter of the Bishop of Berlin, the Most Rev, Conrad Count Won Preysing. who called on his people to "cling to the faith that everyone is entitled to his rights" ... , Tn words that were necessarily restrained because they were being uttered in the capital of Hitler's government, but nevertheless left no doubt of their meaning. the bishop denounced the NaM dream of world conquest, the persecution of Jews and the denial of funda- mental justice to the German peo- pie. ..
 Senator James M. Mead, D., N. r., read the letter in the senate yesterday and said 1t was proof that organized religion Is the one head which rises to challenge Hitler in his own domain" The Ofilce Of War Information released the text of the letter, which was written December 12, 1942, and reached this country through neutral sources.
 Tn a section of the letter Seein- ingly aimed directly at the persecu- ton of Jews, Bishop Preysing noted that "every human being enjoys provileges of which no worldly power can 6euriVe it.'
 Tt IS an honorable page in the history of mankind that the rights of aliens have been more and more developed and that the laws of na- tiosls define and establish these rights" he wrote. "All primeval rights enjoyed by mankind. namely the right to live, to exist unharmed tA be free, to have preferences, to contract marriage, the existance of which does not depend upon the arbitrary dicturn of governments, may not be taken from anyone who is not of our blood nor who does not speak our language. ..

man nation by proclaiming that as far as specially endowed individuals and highly gifted nations are con- cerned, there can be no good or evil, no right or wrong, and that they, are dispensed from respecting any questions of right or morality and that, 1t is one of their privileges to deprive weaker nations or peo- pies, on, 8 lower cultural level than themselves or races which really or seemingly do not enjoy as many advantages of every right" "N ,
 He warned his people against be- lieylng such theories. , a
 Especially in war time, when might confronts might and when power seems to be supreme, we are in danger of despislng justice" he said. 1,~ te-
 Let us cling to the faith that everyone is entitled to his rights. and let us also cling to the faith that these rights protect everyone who is innocent of personal wrong doing and let us furthermore cling to the faith that these rights are universal and applicable to us all.
 We do not want to claim for our selves things to which we are not entitled: neither do we wish to re- fuse anything to which others may be entitled. We wish to cultivate the spirit of justice and fairness"
 Pleading for return of individ- ual rights in place of collectivisYn. Bishop Preysing said "the individu- al cannot impose his rule against this eternal right; and neither can the community do SO; even the confaNnitvAis obligated to observe the, rights whose principles are graVeYl, in every mans heart. H.A A'G
 Tn the course of evolution pnil- osophy has developed individualism .toSa kind of c0llectivisfn, he said. Tt no longer attributes to the in- diyidual but to the community -- whether that be considered { as all mankind or as individual nations - the privilege of complete sovsr- eighty ir, right and custom :, q. | power rules. in place of justice and profit In place of need" t ;,
 Without mentioning the word dtc- tatorship, he said If power creates and represents right there can be no peaceful communion between in dividuals or smaller communities or nations and Q fight of all against all will result. The most powerful will win until a still greater power arises and crushes him; the result Is an existence devoid of all human, dignity. a fight for existence on the level of creatures deprived of %hu- man intelligence" 'r, .e;l 5.-

40 Percent Production Rise
For Postwar Jobs Asked

Philadelphia (ILNS). - Paul G.
Hoffman, industrialist and national
chairman of the Committee for Eco
nomic Development, urged here a 4C
percent increase in industrial produc-
tion as the only means of achieving
and maintaining a stable postwar
world
In an address to members of the
Philadelphia County division of the
committee Hoffman said that CONVEX
sion after the war was not simply a
task of reconversion but was one of
hitting productive level that will
make available 100000 more jobs
than in 1940."
To be certain that American indus
try provides not only enough jobs but
the right kind of jobs as well, he de-
clared 1--WE must increase our gross
output of goods and services more
than 40 percent"

by Acting Secretary of War Patter-
son, who admitted the military pro-
gram was being jeopardized by short
tages in cooper, zinc and molybdenum
mines.
Patterson also revealed that the
supply program for the Army ground
forces in June was 2.3 percent below
April and nearly 5 percent under June
schedules. Several reasons for the de-
cline were given, among them short
age of manpower and materials.
AS this paper and international
Labor News Service pointed out many
months ago, American industry can't
be run entirely by women, old men
and children. Skilled workers in the
prime of life-and plenty of them
are also needed for continued maxi
mum production.

events, so it can't be that, although
that could have something to do with
the lamentable failure of the news
papers to do their job properly, espe-
cially in the realm of the political
phases of the war.
Of course one thing we do know
and that is that wherever there is
censorship, as there is for movies,
newspapers and radio, certain fair
haired boys will pull their punches
and reef their sails so as to play safe
with the censors. Yes, more than that,
SO as to snuggle up to the powers
that be, which means more than mere
ly playing safe.
Perhaps, in a way, censorship is in
part defeating it's own purposes in
