pervise others. So the man who
wears the title would seem to have
acknowledged his authority over a
particular group.
Or could one be bishop and not
q bishop at the same time?
Might one not be fascinated by a
title, or haunted by memory
The Council meeting in Boston
is called 'ecumenicaP. (The words
are running big in the news these
days.) One might have expected
something positive, uplifting.
There are so many problems that
want to be threshed out. There
is the problem, Of peace; there is
the problem Of better understand
ing between peoples; there is the
problem of economic readjust-
rnent that might very well be
tackled by gentlemen Of the cloth.
And so 1t is disappointing to hear
the age-old protest with not even
new slant to the delivery.
One might have hoped for a re-
definition of doctrine or reaffirm-

might have hoped for a re-state-

The Bishop, Of coure, was furious
that the Roman Catholic Church
claimed to be the true Church.
One cannot help wondering why
he finds this claim so embarrassing.
Is 1t perhaps because so many of
the white and lovely churches on
New England greens are boarded?
Is It because so many Of them are
supported by a New York philan-
thropist2 While on all sides the
politically-minded Catholic Church

hotels or banks, but houses of wor-

Perhaps we should claim to be
the wrong Church? Perhaps we
should, ~ the Bishop did recent

U. s. To The Right Says London

LONDON. (P) - The London press announced the results of the United States elections today with screaming headlines pro- claiming ''U. S. landslide to the right"

Democratic Party May Die, Says ~s' Henry Wallace

WASHINGTON (R - Henry A. Wallace, new-dealer former Vice President and secretary of Com merce, interpreted the election re- suits today as meaning "the Dem- ocratic party will either become more progressive or it will die"
 Wallace, recently busted from President Truman's cabinet after a controversy over policy toward Russia, said in a statement: Pro gressives must not be discouraged by the outcome of the election.
 "The Republican Congress will inevitably multiply our economic problems and the American peo- pie who fundamentally are always progressive in their attitudes will then turn to liberal leadership for help.
 "As a result of this election the Democratic party will either be- come more progressive or it will die. I do not expect it to die"
 Senator Guffey D.-Pa), who was among the Democratic casu- alties, took only ten words to say what he thought of the results:
 The people evidently wanted change any they got it."
 Guffey's aides, who issued the statement at the Capitol, said that would be the Senator's only com ment. Guffey flew to Washington from Pittsburgh yesterday after noon.

 .WillEnd Strike tsa Except ---

SAN FRANCISCO, tR - The CIO Longshoremen's and Ware housemen's union today offered to lift its west coast strike from all vessels except those picketed by the striking CIO marine engineers.
 If accepted by the waterfront employers association, the offer would free the strikebound ships except those operated by com panies of the Pacific American Shipowners' association.
 The offer indicated the long shoremen are willing to work for eign, Army and Navy ships and those operated by Atlantic and Gulf coast companies.
 Shipping on the west coast has been tied up by strikes of the longshoremen, the engineers and the AFL masters, mates and pilots since Sept. 30. The chief obstacle between the employers and the ships officers unions has been a union demand for preferential hiring clauses in their contracts.
 Progress toward settling the longshoremen's strike was report ed by federal mediator Nathan P. Feinsinger before an interruption of negotiations yesterday. The ne gotiations are expected to be re- sumed Friday when Feinsinger re- turns from Hawaii, where he is mediating the sugar strike.
 SAN FRANCISCO. (P West Coast operators rejected today an offer by the CIO longshoremen's and warehousemen's union to lift it's coastwise strike from all yes selS except those picketed by striking marine engineers.
 A spokesman for the waterfront employers association declared his group would stand on previous de- mands for complete settlement of all points of issue between mari time labor and employers and was opposed to what he termed piece meal" settlement.
 Had the unions offer been ac- cepted, all strikebound ships would have been freed except those operated by companies of the Pacific American Shipowners' association.
