The girls-Betsy, Vicki and Dixie and their father and mother jockeyed the crops around the okie circuit for five years until they met up with the future in traf3er biv- auac at Hobbs, N. M. There they found family named Edwards camped alongside and the girls were greatly taken with the fact that the Edwards kids could do acrobasics. They wanted to learn, too, and Edwards took them under his wing and taught them the rudi- ments of the trade.
 Late in 193a Edwards fecided to take his daughter, June, to Holly wood for a try at the movies or night clubs and Mrs. Ross and her daughters decided to go along on the same chance, with Ross follow ing later. The Hollywood experience was what you might expect in the circumStanceS-no luck.
 The Ross Edwards combination split their meager funds and finally went their separate ways. Mrs. Ross developed a stubborn streak and re- fused to contemplate going back to farming. believing that her daugh- ters could be performers. The fam fly motored to towns and hamlets and the girls gave impromptu en- tertainments wherever they could taking their pay in whatever nickels dimes or quarters onlookerS might care to drop in the hat.
 Finally they worked their way tc the East, grabbed a decent vaude- vile booking or two and were hired by Billy Rose for his Diamond Horseshoe club. Last year the girls returned to Hollywood. this time by invitation, and appeared in MGM's Broadway Rhythm" They came back to the Horseshoe, where they still are working, but next year they will trek West again for further pic ture work. They are lined up for four films so far.
 Oddly enough the girls have found an old friend in New York-June Edwards, who does an amazing aero batic dance turn in the Ted Lewis show at the Hurricane. And one night after coming to New York they had a surprise visit from a man who had seen their act and re- called that he had interviewed them in Southern California when he was

' Rev. ,. Donnelly from the Church that body which we now distinguish from other religious bodies as the Catholic Church.
 ''The Church was then, as it is now, a great democracy. There was no peasant so humble that he might not become a priest, and no priest so obscure that he might not be- come Pope of Christendom, and every chancellery in Europe, every court in Europe, was ruled by the learned, trained and efficient men, the priesthood of the great and dominant Church.
 What kept government alive in the Middle Ages was the constant rise of sap from the bottom, from the rank and file of the great body of the people through the open channels of the priesthood. That, it seems to me, is one of the most extraordinary illustrations tn a t could possibly be abduced of the thing I am talking about
 TRUE DEMOCRACY
 Through the centuries there has been little change in the true dem- ocratic processes of the Church. Pope Plus x was the son of peasant parents. Pope Plus XI was the son of q weaver. And the present Pope Plus XII was selected as the Father of Christendom after a most brilliant career in responsible posts.
 What is true of the Popes is true of the Bishops. The hierarchy of the United States are the sons of the poor. And very few of them are not the sons of comparatively recent immigrant parents. They have won their present posts of honor for no other reason than their character, ability and achievement.

NEW HOSPITAL
 PLAN ADOPTED
Only Cases Requiring Urgent Care to Be Ad-
 mitted in New Haven

New Haven hospital has officially adopted a wartime admitting policy under which only those cases requir- ing urgent hospital care will be ad- mitted. The family doctor is to de- eide if disqualification is required. Emergency cases will be admitted as in the past, and the clinic services of the New Haven Dispensary will not be affected.
 Director James A. Hamilton ex- plained that the increased wartime demand for hospital services, plus a major manpower shortage neces- sitated the action, as 1t was becom- ing impossible to keep hospital serv- ice up to a satisfactory standard. Persons who can be treated at home, or for whom an indefinite de- lay in disqualification would cause no material effect on their health will not be admitted under the hos pital's new policy. However, the plan recognizes that special social or economic reasons may necessitate a patient receiving hospital care. While a person with a severe cold would not ordinarily be admitted he would be considered for hospltaliza- ton If he lived alone in an apart ment where he was unable to secure meals or any personal assistance ex- cept the visit by the doctor.
 Waterbury hospitals have Tor some time been following Q volun- tary plan similar to that adopted yesterday at New Haven. Aida Greer, supt. of Wascrpury hospital. said local physicians had been asked not to recommend disqualification ex- cept in case of real necessity. She said social service agencies are CO., operating with the hospital in many

the Republican Convention in Phil adelphia in l040. If one would add to this story the one told with auth ority of the machines installed by the Superintendent of Sewers in the cellar of the convention hall in Chi cago to guide the bedlam upstairs calling for the democratic candidate. we probably have at their strangest and worst the strange ways of poll tics and politicians.
 TOUCH OF DEATH
 George Washington Carver was Q distinguished Negro and fine Christian gentleman. Some years be- fore his death he was selected by the Catholic Committee of the South as the first recipient of its annual award to one who has contributed notable service to the South.
 Two months ago George Wash ington Carver School was organized in New York City to provide adult Harlem residents an opportunity for formal education and to promote better relations between MT. Carv- CTS Negro race and the white race. But two weeks ago six prominent educators and social workers resign ed from the Board of the school be- cause "the Board was too much un- der Communist control"
 Two weeks ago the Cooper Union Italian Sympathy Meeting" staged a rally in New York for a free Italy. Its advance publicity announced that Earl Browder, general secre- tary of the Communist Party will be present to extend greeting to the Italian. people and hail their heroic struggle for the destruction of Fas- cism and the liberation of Italy"
 These are but two examples from one days New York press of the manner in which the Communists move in and take over worthy causes and worthy movements. The Ameri- can Communist Party has never done anything constructive. They thrive on agitation and discord and they so ruin everything that they touch that those whom they profess to help are far worse off when they finish their helping. But an amaZ- ing number of good people are for a time completely fooled by their machinations.
 THOSE GOOD WORKS
 If you need further incentive for the continuation of these necessary prayers and good works for the boys in the services take 1t from these paragraphs from the letter of mar inc who was in the first wave land- ing on Guadalcanal and a letter that this mother will carry as long as she lives.
 Dear Mother: Well you can stop your worrying about me getting kill ed. l got wounded instead. Not very bad and before you ge. this I'll be out of the hospital. We were lying in the swamp, awaiting orders to nab pesky artillery mob when a couple of snipers opened up on us. We ducked for cover in the dark and just before we made it one of them let fly a grenade. guess it must have gone off behind my ear, be- cause the next thing knew was a couple of hours later.
 Well, here's the funny thing. My watch stopped when it went off. It registered l:45. Nobody but us will believe it but that is just quarter to eight back home, when you are receiving Communion for me at St. Cyrils know now that God is go- ing to have the two of us together again. Keep up the Holy Commun ions"

Britons Holly Resent
HuII's News-Leak
Charges as SIur
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Mar. 30.-British gov.
ernment officials as well as journal
lists "hotly resent" news leakage
charges by Secretary of State Hull
in Washington and consider them "s
slur on their loyalty and discretion,
the News Chronicle said today.
Furthermore, declared the papers
diplomatic correspondent, E. P
Montgomery, g" there have beer
far more 'leakages' to the American
press of information which the Brit.
ish government has a right to con-
slider vital than there have beer
similar leakages appearing in the
British press"
(Secretary Hull said Tuesday
there has been four instances in
which the State Department
registered four complaints to
Britain about premature disclo-
sures of important intergovern-
mental news. His statement de-
veloped from a controversy with
Gov. Thomas p. Dewey of New
York, who had charged the State
Department with seeking to have
British censors suppress political
news sent to American newspa-
pers.)
Three U. S. Leaks Charged.
Mr.. Montgomery named three
specific instances" in which he said
news leakages occurred in the United
States.
"1. 1t was agreed between the
Foreign Office and the State Depart
ment about the end of January that
there should be no publicity what
ever about the joint Anglo-American
decision to apply an embargo on oil
shipments to Spain," he wrote
within "a hours of the decision
being put into effect, the New York
Times carried the full story from
Washington.
20. 1t had been generally assumed
after the recent Russo-Finnish pub
lie statements that negotiations for
peace between the two countries had
broken down. Mr.. Hull himself was
the fculprit in revealing at a press
conference that this was not so.
"3. The most recent example con-
Germs the Presidents formula defln-
ing Gen. Eisenhower's attitude in
dealing with civil affairs in France
during and after liberation. This
formula was presented in a draft
for the British governments con.
sideration two weeks ago. Last week
the New York Herald Tribune gave
the details and terms of the formula.
Other Sources Blamed.
The writer charged the four leak.
ages which Mr.. Hull protested as oc.
curing from London have "in every
instance been. traced to sources quite
outside British government control
a fact of which the State Depart.
ment was fully aware"
He said this could be proved if tht

ports first were published, the ma
