Catholic Communism
Is Impossible Tenet,
Vatican Paper Asserts
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
ROME, July 22.Osservatore Ro-
mano, Vatican City newspaper, pub
ashed an article today by Father
Mariana Cordovani, master Of the
Sacred Pontifcal Palace. declaring
Communism. and the Catholic doc
trine were incompatible.
The article, entitled Catholic
Communists" discussed the party
bearing that name which was FORM
ed by 4, group of youths seeking
social reform while desiring to re-
main Catholics.
Catholic dogma has its moral,
and the social practice of historical
materialism has its ideology," the
article said. Desiring to unite
Catholic dogma with historical ma
terialism, these youths viii put
Catholic moral in the. attic while
political science, which they EN-.
brace, pushes them despite them
selves toward that theology. I be-
lieve that If they do not correct
their position they inevitably will
jeopardize their catholicism"
-. : State Power Criticized.
The article declared that when
the State becomes a universal ad-
lministrator OF all enterprises, We
have an anonymous and gigantic
capitalism before which all citizens
are necessarily employees and beg
gars.''
Administrators, whether they be
called ministers of the king or COM
missars OF the people - do not
change their nature" the article
said, land it will not be historical
materialism which will render them
honest and disinterested. It Ger
tainly will not be by this method
that the State will be brought to
its Just proportions"
The article asked, How can they
dare deny the right Of private prop
erty, even Of the means Of produc-
tion honestly used, without becom-
ing aware of the conflict with
natural right and Catholic teach
inga Why should not the father
have the right to leave to his chill
dren the fruit Of his honest labor?
Confiscation Assailed.
I'VE know" it continued, that
even Communism has made head
way on some occasions with the
mirage Of private property for those
who had none, promising, for ex-
ample, land to peasants who work
on 1t. But these. having become
owners and, therefore, In a certain
sense. bourgeois, have fallen into
the class whose Adjustments was
desired, and once again (they be-
came) subject to confiscation in
order to save the theory and con-
tinue in history the errors which
have become violations of rights.
: I'VE Catholics in every just
cause must never be absent and
must collaborate with everybody;
but when we lean more on Marx
than on the teaching of the Church
we are not aware of what We en-
brace and what we abandon and
(when) for the tyranny of one class
there is substituted that of another
then it cannot be said We are acting
as Catholics"
The article declared no one could
be q good Catholic and at the same
time a true Socialist. Nowhere was
Soviet Russia mentioned.

Dinner At Camp

A summer camp for its members, one of
the cherished dreams of the Brigade Boys
Club, is coming true this year. Through the
generosity and with the cooperation of Mr.
c. VanLeuven. who made the site available,
and many Wilmington business firms which
have contributed material and equipment, to
gether with plenty of hard work by William
Stewart and his corps of volunteer aides the
project has at last been carried through with
the prospect that upward Of three hundred
youngsters will have real vacation the
Sound under competent, trained leadership and
direction d1ring July and August.
The camp is now in full blast, and blasting
so satisfactory that the Kiwanis club, whose
chief work is development of the Brigade, is
to hold its Wednesday meeting there, with
members due to assemble at Third and Chest
nut at o'clock which will allow plenty Of
time for a swim vita the boys, a bit of fun,
and dinner when everybody has cooled off.
This visit to the camp is both a privilege
and duty of all club members, some of
whom have not kept in close touch with the
Brigade and should know what it is accom-
plishing. Arrangements are being made for
transportation of the entire membership.
The Brigade's board of directors will share
the hospitality of the camp at the same time
and its personnel is made up of repre-
sentatives of all Wilmington civic clubs, the
occasion will afford an excellent opportunity
for them to see at first hand how successfully
the organization is functionng

SEEK PROTECTION ASSURANCE

Caldwell warned Jones that growers are not
going to take the chance of delaying their
sales this year without definite OPA and VIA
assurance of proce protection that will stabl-
lie prices as the market moves from Georgia,
through the Caroinas, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Virginia and Maryland.
"Unless assurance is given to growers ne
said, that the price structure will be protect
ed from day to day and week to week, you can
expect tobacco farmers to market their crops
even at the expense of saving food and feed,
OF the planting of small grains.
Some CT those who delayed marketing OF
tobacco last year in order to save their crop
and feed their small grain were caught with
extremely low prices. They are not likely to
take the chance again unless assurance is Civ
en- that a stable price level will be MAINTAINED
throughout the entire marketing season.
In his plea for the ceiling of As IL cents
requested by the farmers, Caldwell pointed
out that Maryland hurley last year brought
As IL cents thus giving Maryland farmers
higher averages than other tobacco-p-oduc-
ing states
The asserted unfairness of sucn situation
was cited in the fact that flue-cured prices
normally average much or more hurley
prices, while last year, the ceiling on flue-
cured leaf was only al cents.

French Underground

Prohibited by military necessity to say any,
thing specific concerning the French under
ground, one correspondent has managed to
say lot in general way about the work
Of this splendid organization in Normandy
when the invasion was about to come and
after Allied forces has established their bea CHI
head.
The information is contained in dispatch
from Cherbourg written by Harold Denny and
cabled to the New York Times. It is surpris-
ing how much he tells while telling nothing.
The dispatch is a masterpiece of indirect re-
porting.
The resistance movement, says Mr. Denny.
provided intelligence authorities with
priceless data while invasion plans were BEING
formulated and executed an admirable
scheme of transport paralysis on the eve of
our landings in addition to fighting with our
troops into Cherbourg
Some of this story may be told now" he
writes, "but most of it still may not. lest if
help the Germans to combat our French al
lies in territories not yet liberated" With
exceptionable craftsmanship, Mr. Denny con-
tinues:
1T would be unwise to tell now. for in
stance, how the devoted army of proved "a.
triots was recruited and organized under the
Germans noses SO skillfully that few mem.
bers were caught. Nor may it be told how
word of our impending invasion got to the
French resistance leaders on the eve of D
day, how the underground struck and not g

CALDWELL ASKS DAILY FLOOR

Caldwell fastened to reiterate the opposition
growers-to any ALLEGATION.
Growers generally believe ne declared in
his latter to Jones, that alloction of their
last crop was largely responsible for tne fluc-
tuation in prices.
They have UNANIMOUSLY expressed opposi-
ton to ALLEGATION in every meeting and it
is our understanding that the crop will not
be allocated unless the supply and demand
situation makes it absolutely necessary
The state grange chiefs three point pro-
gram follows:
81. Allocate pounds rather than percentages.
%. Allocate more pounds than is expected to
be available SO competition will be preserved
%. Put a floor under prices on all grades
daily by CCC purchases. Purchases made for
sterilization of prices should belong to the
CCC, and beoffered for sale to any buying
company, domestic or foreign on some equ-
table basis"

'SUTTLETIES
The inside on the Washington scene of
interest to the Carolinas.
BY HOWARD SUBTLE
Star-NeWs Washington Bureau
BY HOWARD SUBTLE

WARRINGTON, July 0.-Athougn the Office
of Price Administration may not grant the re-
quest of tobacco growers for a ceiling of
45 IL cents On flue cured leaf the price
control agency and War Food administration
are expected shortly to announce a more
equitable program than the badly organized
tobacco marketing setup of last season.
Edward F. Ragland, chief of OPA's tobacco
section, is as mum as the proverbial oyster
on the agencys idea of fair price ceiling -
but it is generally believed here and through
cut the tobacco belt that compromise cell
ing of 43 IL cents on cut-and-tied flue- cured
OPA decision.
1t is also reasonable assumption that VIA
will again set up an ALLEGATION program, but
this also is expected to be designed with the
idea of Safeguarding the growers and pro
tecting the price structure''

LOOSE LEAF PRICE, 80 CENTS?

Those who are specializing on tle possible
ceiling of probably SO cents for united and
ungraded flur-cured leaf.
Last year, the OPA, some members of whose
staff were inexperienced in tobacco market
ing, failed in the beginning to distinguish be-
tween tied-and-graded and untied-and-ungrad-
ed tobacco, which gave growers in Georgia,
where there is no law requiring tobacco to be
tied, an early advantage.
Tobacco is required by law in botn the Caro-
linas to be tied and graded.
1t is therefore incumbent upon Caldwell to
push for distinguishing price ceilings, which
he is doing with remarkable efficiency.
The grange official pointed out in his letter
to Jones that ceiling prices and ALLEGATIONS
protect the buying companies both in the price
they pay and in the supply available to them,
Use of these methods" he added, can
be justified by war conditions, and their appli-
cation must be carefully worked out or the in
terests Of the growers will be jeopardized.
''Flue cured tobacco growers have ex-
pressed opposition to the use of grade cell
ings. Under ordinary conditions, where the
supply is adequate and we have normal
market, the price relationships between aver
age tobacco and better quality leaf has been
reasonably maintained by the auction system.
IF some method can be adopted which will
establish and maintain reasonable price re-
lationships between average tobacco and bet
ter quality leaf without destruction of our auc-
ton system, or the adoption of grade ceilings,
L am sure that growers would approve
1T is our opinion that some differenta can
be established and maintained between aver
age tobacco and better quality leaf by saying
to all purchasers that purchases made by
them at ten-cents- a-pound above overall cell
ing averages will be figured at five-cents-a-
pound above the overall ceiling average in
determining the final weighted average price
for the entire season.
This advantage would be an incentive to
companies to pay higher prices for better
quality leaf. Some of us believe that adoption
of this principle will help reestablsh and main
tain some differential in average quality to-
bacco and better quality leaf"

France developed the use of the

years the system covered France.

Platform Brevity

Noting the discussion provoked by the Re-
publican platform, Democratic leaders con-
slider possible advantages of presenting theirs
In thumbnail form. Brevity and simplicity
seem to be the objective particularly in dem
ocratic congressional circles
There is no doubt that the fewer the words,
in platforms other declarations, the less is
the probability of confusion. Implicit in this
is the self-evdent fact that the words must
be well chosen and fully define the situation
they deal with.
Because there have been so many clashes
between the White House and Capitol Hill,
with a large section of democratic members
Of Congress taking issue with the President
on vital legislation, coupled with the probable

siderable dissension over such absorbing SUBJ

Walkiie-Talkie Clin1axes
Military Communications

The "Walkie talkie'' -knapsack
type radio station - flashed the
first reports of the invasion to be
lelayed to the American public.
These portable sending and receiv-
ing radio sets were in the van
Ct invasion. They enabled Signal
Corps officers to keep command
ers-and through them, the folks
back home-up to the minute on
developments.
During the landing at Salerno,
Italy, the Signal Corps amphibious
trucks went ashore early to fur
nish radio communication for Gen
eral Clark who directed the opera
tons from a snip offshore. This
ship-to-shore contact was particu-
larly valuable during the critical
first twelve hourc.
Wars have promoted rapid COM
munication down through the ages,
