Murphy Pleads for End
Of Racial Intolerance
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Sept. 3. - Supreme
Court Justice Frank Murphy de-
clared in VI day address here
last night that unless we cleanse
our hearts of hate-racial and re-
ligious-this war will be only half
won"
I'VE still have to mount guard" !"
he told a crowd of 5000 in Cadillac
Square, against those in our midst
who have been nurtured on the
myths of the superior and inferior
races, and who practice discrimina-
ton against fellow w-Americans be-
cause of the color of their skins or
some other arbitrary racial sign"
Steps should be taken to bring
about full economic security for all
the people, he said, recognizing that
man at heart is good and that he
more readily resorts to acts of in
tolerance against minority or scape-
goat groups when his ability to pro-
vide a decent livelihood for his
family is jeopardized."
Perhaps in the long run," the
justice added, this may prove to be
the solution for a large part of the

.Byrnes 10 Offer Plan
In London 10 Control
European Waterways
Ply the Associated Press.


Secretary of State Byrnes leaves
for London this week with detailed
plans to give the United States and
other great powers decisive control
over the key inland waterways of
Europe. He will lay the plans be-
fore a meeting of Big Five foreign
ministers.
For the United States this is like
picking up the hot potato instead
of dropping it. But President Tru-
man is convinced that only by guar
anteeing free navigation of these
critical water routes can one i'm
portant cause of conflict on the con-
tinent be eliminated.
The rivers and waterways for
many years have been a source of
rivalry and fights over economic ad-
vantage and political control.
Provisions Of Plan.
Briefly the plan provides:
l. For international commissions
to assure unrestricted navigation OF
the Danube and Rhine Rivers, the
Dardenelles and the Kiel Canal and
any other waterways bordering or
two or more states which the foreign
ministers thing should be so con-
trolled.
2. To make the Big Four OF
Europe-the United States, Great
Britain, Russia and France-mem-
bers of the commissions which also
would include representatives of the
states bordering on the waterways
to be controlled.
President Truman first put forth
his proposal at the Potsdam Con
ference with Premier Stain and
Prime Minister Attlee. 1t was
agreed, however, to save it for the
Big Five Council Of Foreign Min.
listers in London. The council viii
meet September TO-, week from
today.
Other Vital Problems.
The problem OF waterways is only
one of many to come before thu
meeting. Others include the crea.
tion of peace treaties for Italy anc
the former satellites of Nazi Ger.
many.
The proposal for completely in
ternationalizing the Dardanelle.
evidently represents the best solu
ton American officials have beer
able to devise for guaranteeing Rus
sia a permanent Black Sea cutie
to the Mediterranean without caus
ing trouble with Turkey.
The straits now actually are un.
der international control as pro
vided in a treaty drawn at Mont.
reaux, France, in 1896. However
that treaty contains provision!
which worked to Russia's disad.
vantage in the war.

tary of the Navy Forrestal.
To do SO, he commented during q

peace without power is an empty

business to see that the means tc
wage war be kept in the hands oi

ing, Take this gun and keep
firing"
The man fled into an alley before
Mr.. Mcmahon could fire more than
one shot, and Capt. Ahearn. could
not say whether the fugitive was
wounded. Mr.. Brady died before
he could make any statement.

Catholic Information I'd Rather Believe in

There is no personal or crea- tive God. Worship and prayer are useless. Mans final end is here and now. The universe was not created. It is self-existing. These are some of the things that are taught today in some of our schools Git would behoove Chris tian parents to make sure it is not being taught their own sons and daughters.
 If I were little boy and some one told me that those gifts in my Christmas stocking which so per- fectly filled my childish wants had been made by no one, but were self-existing - well, I'd rather be- lieve in Santa Claus. It would be more intelligent.
 If college professor, scientist even a clergyman-tells me now that the universe and the earth with its air, water, food, and all other things that so perfectly fill humanity's needs were never ere ated, but had always been self existing-well, even if I had never heard of Almighty God, I would still find their answer unsatisfac- tory. l feel sure that would wrig- gle through to some vague idea of God. It would be more intelligent.
 The most ignorant teaching is that there is no God The most unscientiflc statement is that there is no God. The most absurd sermon is that there is no God.
 Mature minds may be little af- fected by the claims of those about whom the Psalmist says "tne fool hath said in his heart: there is no God Psalms l3:D. But for modern civilization to permit such soul blind men to preach and teach their mad theories to children and receptive youth, should set us all to think ing and to acting

 If honesty. morality, and even intelligent thinking are to be saved for future generations, present-day believers must save them.
