.Of Faith And
 Freedom

By REV. HENRI M. DEAS
 WHAT DOES LABOR EXPECT
 FROM THE CHURCH
 Organized labor is the one sec ton of America's population which should rightfully expect to receive its greatest support from the or ganized church, but it's results have been highly disappointing. The church has almost forgotten labor. It caters to the rich and the well-situated with soothing ser mons and pipe-organ music Prob lems of the working men whose pennies are always welcomed are hardly ever mentioned. Like os- triches burying their heads in the sand, many of our clergy pretend that the religion they preach has nothing whatever to do with the fight of the everyday worker for decent living. The simple faith of the Carpenter Jesus which began among working class fishermen, poor tentmakers, and "the com mon people who heard him glad ly' has become a streamlined re- ligion of plush-seated pews and pampered pietists. In many of the finest churches where Negroes are usually frozen out," the common ordinary white worker of the poor CT classes is not wanted either. Some of these churches ''toler- ate" few of the underprivileged, but don't welcome them. Labor Unionists, who constitute the ma jority of the woking classes, are never mentioned in these churches and for the most are despised as "ungodly." No wonder that "a la Dor leader is reported to have told his fellow delegates at a labor convention: "The press maligns you. The powerful radio blasts you. The misguided public dis trusts you, and the Christian Church discards you."
 The powerful business interests of this country have every instru- ment in their hands for control ling public opinion. Radio is con- trolled by them; newspapers are owned by them; and lately even the President of the United States has appeared to be at their beck and call.

And So To Bed

Since newspaper people are
notorious for the names they
call one another, nobody even
turned his head last night when
a cry of "Snake, snake!"
sounded on the stairs leading
from the newsroom to the COM
posing room.
1t wasn't until a composing
room boy burst out Of the stair
way door into the newsroom
that the editors and reporters
lifted their eyes from their
work.
Then their eyes popped, be-
cause the boy was strug CLING
like the people in the ancient
Roman statue-with a three
foot-long chicken-snake.
The only logical reason for
the snakes appearance in The
Stars office is that it must
have thought there were chick
els in the vicinity-a delusion
inspired, no doubt, from the
fact that "And So To Bed" lays
so many eggs.

Food Officials May Limit
Quantity To Dealers,
However

WASHINGTON, June g. up -
Food officials were optimistic Sun
day that bread won't be rationed,
though the possibility was not Who'll
ly ruled out.
Economic Stabilizer Chester
Bowles disclosed Friday that he
had talked to Agriculture depart
ment officials about the possibility
of ratioaing down to-but not in
cluding-the consumer. He told re.
porters later that nothing had been
decided definitely and that it may
not be necessary.
No Program Yet
OPA officials said that so far as
they knew no actual program had
been worked out, even tentatively
and subject to later decision OF
whether to put it into effect.
However, OPA under usual pro-
cedure would not be in charge I'M
less a rationing program covered
the actual consumers. And some
OPA officials, pointing to the
agency's restricted budget, wour-
dered where it would get the mon
ey to do such a job if it were as
signed.
One suggestion was that process
sor and dealer rationing might be
accomplished by Agriculture de-
partment directive, but some Off
Gals who normally would be con-
cerned with operation of such a
program said they knew of nothing
concrete from the talks between
Bowles and agriculture representa-
tives.
New Crop To Help
One authoritative view on the
food front was that the new crop
may ease the situation an OBJ
servation with which Bowles
agreed - and that the time would
be too short for rationing to do any
good before the harvest which al
ready is starting in some areas.
Bowles told the Senate Small
Business committee that every
miller is entitled to his fair share
of grain, the baker to his flour, and
the retailer to his part of the bread.
There is authority under law, he
said, for such ALLEGATIONS.
The discussion grew out of ques-
tons from Senators about short
ages that have emptied bread
shelves in many stores and baker
les, and led most stores to limit
purchases to a single loaf. The
hortages began with the recent Is
per cent cut in the amount Of what
millers may grind for domestic
use.
Regardless of the rationing out
look, householders run up against
another bread worry this week -
a price increase of one cent a loaf.
An official of OPA reiterated a
statement of a month ago that all
bread except rye (already raised
will be included. Bread-type rolls
will be raised proportionately. The
actual order has not yet been IS
sued but this official said it will
