Catholic Bishops Back
Peace Through Force;
Oppose Soviet Plan
Would Prevent Nations
From Voting on coses
Involving Selves

The Catholic bishops OF the
United States voiced opposition
yesterday to any world security
council in which member ma
ton could sit in judgment on its
own Casa stand conflicting
with that Of Soviet Russia-and
indorsed force as a means Of
enforcing order.
The statement, covering the prob
lens Of world peace, was adopted
by the American hierarchy at its
annual meeting which ended Friday
|at Catholic University. It was re-
leased last night by the National
Catholic Welfare Conference.
Commenting on the recent Sc
curity conference at Dumbarton
Oaks, the bishops called for an
international peace organization
based on moral law and repudiating
power politics. The projected coun-
Gil, they warned, must not be an
instrument for imperialistic domin-
alton by few powerful ma
tionS =.
''It must not allow any member
nation to sit in judgment In its
own case"
Strong World Court Asked.
Soviet Russia has taken q Arm
stand on granting AL major powers
the right to sit and vote in the
council, even In cases where they
themselves are accused Of aggres-
sion. This would give q major
power the right to veto collective
action against itself since unani-
nous decision is called for under
the Dumbarton Oaks plan.
The bishops urged world court
with teeth" asserting that its pow
er should not be advisory but
strictly judicial"
Competent international author
ity must enact into positive law the
principles Of the moral law
and to these will be added positive
treaty provisions and the charter
and legislation Of the international
organization" the statement con-
tinued.
Military Measures" Mentioned.
The court must have authority
to refer Its decisions to the inter-
national organisation for execution, /"
the bishops said, adding: 1
Nations which refuse to submit
their international disputes
should be treated BY the interna-
tional organization - outlaw ma
tions."

Missing Filler
May Be Safe

Encouraging news concerning
Staff Sergeant Robert Tackett, B-24
gunner recently reported missing in
action over Germany, was received
by his wife and parents in Ell Cen
tro Monday.
The news came in a newspaper
clipping from the mother of Ser
geant Tackett's pilot. 1t came orig
inally from an AUS Liberator base
in England. The article said:
although his Liberator was under
attack by three Focke-WulfS on a
bomb run over a German target,
Lieutenant Jack Wyatt of Marshall,
Texas, now listed as missing in
action, kept the craft straight and
level until the bombs were dropped, .
other flyers said. Twenty milli-
meter cannon shell from one of the
German fighters ripped wing and
set the engine afire. The plane was
forced out of formation by Lieut.
enant Wyatt continued to the tar
get. Just after the bombs were drop
ped, it began losing altitude rapidly.
Accompanying flyers said five para
chutes were seen to OPEN"
This was the first word Sergeant
Tackett's wife and his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Jack Tackett, have re-
ceived since the original report that
he was missing in action. They be-
lieye there is hope that the pilot
may have been able ito make crash
landing and save the other boys in
the plane.
