Conference Speaker
Urges Preparation for
Marriage Vocation

Catholic girls were advised yester-
day by Mrs. E. Bradley Bailey, an
Instructor in Philadelphia parochial
schools, to prepare themselves care
fully for the vocation" of marriage.
She spoke before the youth dis
cussion group at the National Cath
Ole welfare conference.
Mrs. Bailey told the assembled
girls that in the history of almost
every great man there is to be found
. good" woman behind him. Con-
versely, she said, bad" women are
the cause Of many masculine fail
ures.
During the youth sessions yes
terday, students from the various
Catholic colleges in Washington and
Maryland spoke on what the school
and parish and the home and young
persons individually can do to pre-
pare for marriage and family life.
Quest Of Money Assailed.
Attributing the many marriage
and family difficulties" today to the
pursuit Of the almighty dollar, u
the Rev. Thomas Ryan, director of
the Diocesan Matrimonial Clinic in
Wichita, Kans., declared that par
ents, under the pretended reason
OF patriotism, are willing to sacrifice

everything In their selfish desire to
obtain more money"
Another primary source Of family
difficulties, Father Ryan pointed out,
''is arising from the independence
that is being asserted against par
entail control by our employed
youths"
Community Aid Sought.
The Rev. Albert j. Murphy, vice
chairman Of the Board Of Catholic
Charities, called upon the COM
munity to aid in the preservation"
of family life by intelligent en-
forcement of laws which directly or
indirectly bear upon the home and
family ideals"
Among the current problems OF
family life which could be partially
corrected by laws, Father Murphy
cited, the 'laxity" in the admin
istration and Interpretation of
divorce laws, the serving of liquor
to minors, the questionable"
standards of tourist camps on the
outskirts of large cities and
agencies of decentralization" such

Attacking the practice Of abor-
tion, DR.. Edmund F. Daley. in
structor at the medical school Of
Georgetown University, declared,
"The wanton wreckage of human
lives resulting from the scourge Of
abortion should awaken the spirit
OF reform in the physician and
social worker"
The practice OF sterilization, too,
has proved to be "unsound," DR.
Daley continued, summarizing the
recent report of the American
Neurological Association for the
Investigation Of Sterilization which
concluded that there Is no "genetic"

Wounded Soldier Gets Visit
From Wife as Christmas Gift
By the Associatee Press.

By the Associated Press
TULSA, Okla, Dec. ~. Holy
Smokes!" yelled Sergt. Joseph
Waldt. What a Christmas present. "
The present" was his wife from
Baltimore, Md. She walked into his
hospital room yesterday and it was
the first time he had seen her in
three years.
Mrs. Waldt was a gift from a
group of Tulsa people who had
learned Joe's story. The sergeant
had been wounded in France and
sent to an Oklahoma Army hospital
to convalesce. His wife missed. him
in New York and she was working
woman of modest means SO she
couldn't follow him to Oklahoma.
When he was believed nearly re-
covered and looking forward to
Christmas furlough, he had sud-
den relapse and was near death from
internal hemorrhages. Blood trans
fusions helped, but the furlough
would not be possible.
So Tulsans got his wife a plane
reservation, hotel room and sent
her a stack of $40 bills for expenses.
A delegation met her at the airport,
pinned gardenia on her and took
her to Joe.

Other dispatches said the Ger

Belgium had been foiled largely by
heavy fighting along a mountain
stream named the L'Ambleve, which
runs between Stavelot and Malmedy.

Soviet Russia has promised to
meet the rising Allied demand
for Red Army action by hurting
some three army groups against
the Germans on the eastern
front, according to Soviet sources
in Washington.
The Forthcoming offensive as il
expands probably will involve up to
six army groups and its route may
well be across the broad Polish plain

Gated.

Stimson remarked at a news confer
ence that "the German high COM

ton said last night "it would appear
that Churchill favors bringing back
to Italy the House of Savoy, King
Peter to Yugoslavia and King
George to Greece"
Sir Norman Angel, 1888 Nobel
prize winner. debating with Mr.
Coffee and others in Town Hall the
subject, Should the Allies Maintain
a Hands-off Policy in Liberated
Countries?" contended that a uni
versal hands-off policy was fraught
with many difficulties.
Discussing the Polish question, Sir
Norman asked whether we should
proclaim high principles and then
make 1t clear that we are going to
do just nothing about them so far
as Russia is concerned?"
Far from helping political
morality, that kind of attitude is
disastrously destructive of all politi-
cal sincerity and honesty" Sir Nor
man Angel said. Yet that is about
what we-eSpecially we Liberals this
last few weeks-have done.
Both in Britain and the United
States the most savage and violent
attacks have been concentrated on
Churchill as though it were his gov
eminent that had partitioned Po-
land, replaced its government, sup
pressed three republics. banished
great sections of their populations to
the Arctic. The effect of this con-
centration of blame upon Churchill
and the virtual exoneration of Rus
sia has been to make all but i'm
possible Churchill's task of attempt
ing, by negotiating with Poland, to
save something from the wreck of
Poland"
Mr.. Coffee said "the liberated peo-
pies of the world must not be cheat
ed of their opportunity for freedom

Fall Pig Crop 81 Per Cent
Below Record for 1943
BY the Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
The Agriculture Department re-
ported today that the 1914 fall pig
crop totaled 1,325,000 head-a re-
duction of "a per cent from the rec
ord fall crop of 1943.
A continuation of the decline is in
prospect for l945, the department
added.
This drop in pig production is a
major factor in the current pork
shortage.
The shortage is expected to con-
tinue for civilians through l945,
unless the war in Europe ends soon
and military demands drop sharply,
or farmers extend l945 operations.
