Return ofFnmed Strdsbourg Bells HeraLds Art Liberation In France
 Its hace n

ure, stolen in 1889 by the Na1is rom It's hiding place in the center of France.
 The Nazis boasted of their sys- teInatic pillage of the part of France. The Rosenberg commit tee, entrusted with seizure of French masterpieces, was set up in Paris by the Germans. An exten- sive record was made by this com mittee of every private collection in France, large and small.
 These records were destroyed by the Na7is as they left, and the Allies had to begin the search for the priceless objects through cratic channels of information. They sent out orders to all Germans to turn in written declarations .of all foreign -owned treasures which had passed through their hands.
 France will recover most of her art masterpieces from the German ,pillagers. Nine.tenthS of the trea- sure is reported to be in the Ameri- can zone of occupation. The bal- ance is in the Russian zone.
 Loot seized by the NaSis was sent to special storehouses in and around Paris. Here the best pieces were sorted out and centralized in the Musee de Jeu de Paun1e in the Tulleries. Private exhibitions were held periodically. Goering would attend the exhibits to make selections for his own private col lection, and for Hitler's galleries.
 After the liberation, Allied serv- ices entrusted with the recovery of works of art moved into the Rosenberg offices. Most of the rec ords had disappeared, but 90 per cent of the missing art treasures have already been traced.
 An inventory of Hermann Goe- rings fabulous art collection, found at Berchtesgaden, Is now in the hands of the Allies. It lists an in- credible hodge-podge of schools and styles, including a great number ot atrociously bad pot boilers" as well as fine masterpieces.

 We went into the case. Since January 1. 1887, when the social security program started, the children's father had worked steadily in a warehouse. HIS wages had not been very large, averaging around $9S a month.
 Mrs. Jones sighed heavily at this point and said, "They didn't manage very well on it, and that Is the truth. My brothers wife poor soul. was sick all the time and six months ago she died. moved the children in with us. Jinl--that was my brother. paid for their keep"
 We explained to Mrs. Jones that 1t would not be possible to tell her exactly how much the children were eligible for until we had checked on her brothers social security account. From her story 1t appeared that her brother died fully insured. II he worked steadily in the ware. house since January 1. 1887. and averaged se6 a month, each Of the children would be eligible for about Si2.50 Q month.
 Mrs. Jones was amazed. she repeated, Each of the children?"
 We told her. "Yes. You will get a check for each child every month up to the time he is is- If he stays in school"
 Mrs. Jones still couldn't quite believe 1t. She said, Why that means $S7.50 a month. That's almost half of what my brother earned"
 She sat there, shaking her head and smiling as if she couldn't quite believe 1t. Then her prac- teal side got the better of her. She picked up the pen and said, With eight children waiting for me at home, I'd better get those claim papers made out"

Every day Social Security Board offces throughout the country are visited by men and women who want snsormation and advice on their social security accounts, who want to know their personal stake in the federal insurance system. Each one is interesting, but out of the many who come there are always a few who stand out above ali others. Each week we choose the most interesting among them to tell you about in this column, without, of course, mentioning any real names. Ana here's our selection for this week.
 one day . troubled looking, middle-aged woman walked into our ofEice. She gave her name we will say 1t was Jones" Then she said, I have come about my brothers children. He died two weeks ago. Our minister told me you might be able to get so- cial security for them"
 With this she took Q social SC. curity card from her bag and held it out.
 After she was. seated we told here that we could not get so- cial security for her brothers children. that We could only help her to file a claim. If the chil- dren are eligible for benefits, they will receive their benefits. Who- ever is eligible gets benefits if he files a claim.
 Mrs. Jones was pleased to hear that. She asked at once for the claim papers and began to talk about the children. John is eleven, Louis ten, and Frank seven" she said. we've got five children Of our own, but thank God our hearts can stretch to take in three more. The trouble Is our income won't stretch along with our hearts, we sure could

 ] Catholic Thought; And Opinion
By REV. JAMES ,. SULLIVAN

AZ. d man og Cod, and . scholar. he was convinced that the Chris tian tradition had within itself the solution to any difficulty. Newman decided to dig into history and pre- sent to the world the case for Christianity. This was, of course. a purely noil-catholic endeavor. Newman was convinced that the Pope vas the anti. Christ, and the church of Rome was the scarlet .wonan. Z +.1. k s..fs
 'F' Ncwnasain,s stady and thought
 and writing carried hinn across the sAneIed sixteenth century,
 back through the Middle Ages
 and i1itS the first centuries of the
 Chrlbtinii era. Slowly, through
 slis nnists ef claims and counter. s claims, the deception and conxu-
 sion, there began t0 loom the
 bulky outlines 0e the primitive
 church. And as he drew near, tho, lines became clearer and the
 shape more definite. He realised 1, that thes structure before hlln vas

 Pope and all.
 There are few instances of in. teliectual honesty comparable to Newnan's. His discovery called for complete about face and an admission that he had been in gross error. Newman had the courage to make the admission, despite the cost in his social and academic standing. Ills former friends, one of them a particular, divine, did not hesitate to brand him 8 cut-purse.

Any one who took at face value the glittering advertisements In the slick magazines must have expected the sun to rise. on V-J Day plus one on a new, Streamlined world. The five ghastly years that had gone would add up, to a completely mechanized existence, where every problem would be solved ny the super inventions; work would De a thing of the. past, old hatreds lex. cept for the very 'eproper hatredp would be swept away in the trt. umph of denocraey. The unwary male was led to picture hiynself Q sum- -bronzed AdoIiis on the beacn at Rio. The unwaTy woman saw herself encased in mink, with every head turned to watch her latately progress. st fF:,... Na3i a..
 Actually, of course this was 2 flight from reality. The story IS far more fantastic, than any tale told by an over pthustastic monk in the tenth century. '' . z
 The fact that modern skill has
 brought the camera to amaztng
 precision does not mean that we
 have, as Q nation or as individ"

 better focus. For we lind ouEs

 The lesson that, we must 2 learn is that Progress is the business Of the soul. shall be no happier with a car that does ninety, than my grandparents were in their horse and carriage. There is nothing m a motor that will insure my inner peace. Indeed, there is every rea- son to believe that there Is some thing in 1t that is far more danger ous to my happiness than the {. 'horse and buggy. The tyrrany ot the age of the machine IS . terI1. flying fact. The many niachines tnhV do housework, for example have contributed little to the home. TnaI wonderful machine, the electric washer, has given the housewife added leisure. There is something ludicrous in the picture of ne1 spending that leisure under @ dxael in a beauty parlor. y.

 There is no progress unless .ws gain a deeper understanding of why we are here, and where we are ko. ing. Civilization Is no longer young We have long since come to Ane use of reason. The marks ox Nge have begun to show. It Is folly to think they can be covered up. wltn streamlined planes and plastic anc FM. The picture that comes to mlno is that of a dowdy old woman Whc is trying to beat the ravages Of time with a shelf full of drugstore Gos- metics. The picture Is pitiaple Everyone knows that progress TOT her is not in that direction. @,s,
 A Great Convert e :.
 The Catholic press is fiiied t1la week with essays on John Henry Cardinal Newman. All are, q salute to the hundredth. annivereary. ol his conversion to Catholicism. New man is one of the great churchmen of the past century and, one of the outstanding converts to Catholi- cism since the beginning of the Christian era. The story of his fife is, indeed, a striking example of what progress is. His story is the story of the triumph of soul over every possible natural barrier that can be raised against 1t.
 As an Anglican minister he was dissa tisfied with the English Church and its seeming inability to cope with the many problems that the new age Of aelnne6 waa stlsrll's lllls
