Proposal 10 Steri|ize
Mentally Deficient
Hit by Bishop Shehan

Sterilization of the mentally de-
ficient, as recommended by a divi-
sion of the Council of Social Agen-
cies In a recent report, was con-
demned last night by the Most Rev.
Lawrence J. Shehan, Auxiliary Bish-
op of Baltimore and Washington.
Bishop Shehan spoke to members
and workers of agencies of the
Catholic Charities of the District
of Columbia. who met in Carroll
Hall, 924 G street NV, to hear the
annual report of the director of the
Catholic Charities, the Right Rev.
John J. Russell.
In his attack on the sterilization
recommendation, Bishop Shehan
said he felt a brief consideration of
the "deplorable implications and
disastrous consequence" of legisla-
ton permitting sterilization would
show the suggestion deserved "un-
qualified condemnation"
Contradiction of Supreme Being.
The people of the United States
as group acknowledge and rev.
erance Supreme Being" Bishop
Shehan declared. 1T is a contra
diction of this sublime belief when
men force an innocent fellowman
to submit to sterilizing operation "
Father Russell. in his report. said
a as per. cent increase in requests
for financial assistance had been
noted in the past three months.
He said this was due principally
to the rising incidence of unemploy-
ment, particularly among the un-
skilled and semiskHled workers, and
the 20 per cent cut in the budget of
relief families made by the public
assistance division of the District
Public Welfare Department.
DR.. Henry J. Crosson was re-
elected president of the Board of
Catholic Charities. He has been a

members OF the Telephone Workers

in favor of strike last night. The

The other local telephone union

meeting today, presumably to SET
up strike machinery. The union
headed by Mary E. Cannon, already
has voted to strike.

the two labor committees, Mr.
Beirne wrote:

Therefore, I am suggesting to
you, before any strike occurs, that
you consider the desirability, in the

Some members of Congress ex-
pressed doubt that Mr.. Hartleys
bill could be pushed through in
time to prevent the scheduled April
7 walkout. However, it probably
could be acted upon in time to con-
fine such strike to q short period
Other members of Congress are
considering revival Of the Govern
ment's powers to seize vital facili-
ties as means of dealing with
such strike threats as that in the
telephone industry, The seizure ap-

But as he rounds the corner into Adams

no ballet dancer, and no one ever saws he's
light as fawn. He wears size fourteen shoe

as he passes the jewelry store, something
drops on top of him, and down he goes to the
sidewalk
What drops on him is not too heavy, and
when he gets to his feet he finds he's looking
down at none other than Roger the Runt
Though he's never met Roger the Runt So
cially, Dan recognizes him right off because,
before Roger is barred from the tracks he's

IHIs is quite a silly question to ask, because
as soon as Dan looks above the jewelry store
door he can see where Roger the Runt drops
from. There's a small arched transom UP
there, and the wire screen in front of it has
been cut away and the transom itself is swing

Saint Louis, Missouri. January IL Especially A mania for
blind destruction now rules masses throughout the world in
this postwar age, DIR. Walter A. Maier, professor at Concord
ia Seminary, declared here today in an address broadcast in
ternationally over the Lutheran Hour. Describing the startl
ing presentday advances in the treatment of eye diseases, he
placed in contrast the sightless folly and the lack of spiritual
vision which has marked the policies of national leaders at
home and abroad.
AS an example, he cited the Federal governments manip-
ulaiion of the 1917 potato crop. A large corps OF agricul-
turaI experts and field workers dedicated their efforts to en-
force the governments crop Limitation program for this veg
etabIe. Because God Almighty va good to u.s." DIR. Maier
declard," and gave u $ a 100, 100000 more bushels of pota-
toes than the experts predicted, al least 20,OOO,O 900 bushels,
frozen and rotten, will have to be destroyed in the next
weeks. while muItitudes are starving abroad. In addition,
the government will stand to lose S8O,OOO,OOO in this ill
planned venture. An intelligent Christian farmer, obeyed
Gods Word, instead Of following the philosophy OF scarcity,
could have averIed this shameful waste which, unless the
Almighty is merciful, America will have to pay a full PEN
atty
Similarly destructive blindness the radio speaker continu-
ed, may be found in Americas family trends, which are Of
ten moulded, not by Gods Word, but by morally sightless
specialist. AS a result of the destructive endorsement OF
d divorce. DIR. Maier asserted, the city Of Los Angeles Last
wear listed almost five divorces for every six marriages.
The race for new destruction and death was also cited as
evidence of the lack of spiritual vision. DR.. Maier cited the
statement Of John ]. McCloy, formerly assistant secretary ct
war. who wrote that our country is vel on its way TO produce
bombs a thousand times more powerful than those "hich
wrecked the Japanese cities. Mc(lOys statement that 10
Hiroshima bomb is mot efficient enough and will not be
used any longer, since it laid waste only one city and killed
only 10000 people, was cited by DIR. Maier as teil-tale ei-
dence Of a menacing mania.

Lord teach us to pray" "A man
ought to always pray" Thoughts
from this inspiring and christian
message were as follows: "a man
mustn't just be college trained; he
must be trained by Christ as he
walks and talks with our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ; a man
is well-trained when he can hon
estly and sincerely say that not

well-trained in the sight of God
needs to e taught by his own con-
seriousness to love one another. to

Parents today are asked to make

But there is one member Of the

absolutely necessary, and this per-
son is the baby.
We are known the world over for
bur high standards Of infant care
with a resulting high plane Of in
FAINT welfare. The infant death rate
has been steadily reduced in the
last decade. While this is due to-
a good many improved conditions
in the are of our babies, it Is due
in part to better feeding practices.
Within the last dozen years. in
fants have been receiving a much
greater variety Of food than did
their mothers, and these supple
mentary foods have been fed at q

Milk is still the basic food of in

age Of four or five months is
reached. Before six months other
foods are added, supplying addi-
tional vitamins and minerals to
those present in milk.
Cereals, which have been fortified

those Of milk. These additional
