W~edemeYer Says
Voice Of America
Broudcusts Hurt Sovs.

General Alfred Wedemeyer,
Army Deputy Chief of Staff,
told a Congressional Commit
tee that Voice of America
broadcast should be continued.
This psychological warfare is
the nations first line of de-
tense. If it is properly used it
may take the place of physi-
cal force in jamming the ambi-
tons of aggressor nations.
General Wedemeyer said
however, that the nation must
maintain powerful armed for
ces because Russia's military
preparations are on such a
vast scale it must be consider
ed warlike in their intent.
The United States has agents
operating inside Russia, he
indicated, but said we did not
gett very good intelligence
reports from them. 1t is grad
ually improving. He said that
the "Voice of America" broad
casts are hurting them badly.

GOVERNOR HASTE
MAY BE APPOINTED
TO CIRCUIT COURT

Gov. William H. HASTE may
be appointed to the newly
created Circuit Court judge
ship in the Third Circuit,
which sits in Philadelphia, it
was reliably learned here this
week. Twenty seven new Fed
eral judgeships have been
created by the Me- arran Bill,
which Congress passed recent
ly, and three of these are to be
in Philadelphia. Ever since the
passage of the bill, Negroes in
Philadelphia have voiced their
demand that a colored attor-
ney be named to one of the
judgeships, particularly of the
District Court.
Among those who names
have figured prominently for
appointment have been Ray
mond Pace Alexander, promi-
nent Philadelphia attorney,
Walter A. Gay, Assistant U. S.
Attorney, and Maceo w. Hub
bard, acting chief of the Civil
Rights Division of the u. S.
Department of Justice. The ap-
pointment of Gov HASTE, if
made, will be an attempt to
solve the knotty problem, and
smooth over the failure to ap-
point one of those whose
names have been associated
with the battle for the judge
ship.

EpiscopoIion Minister Here
Attacks Cardinals Stand

A Washington Episcopalian
minister today Joined the ranks
of those defending Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt against a charge of
"anti-Catholic" bias.
The Rev. Richard Williams, as
sociate rector of the Episcopal
Church of the Epiphany. 1877 G
street NV, issued the following
statement:
The average American has be-
come intolerantly tolerant OF the
political activities of the Roman
Catholic hierarchy. Francis Car
dinal Spellman by his attack on
Mrs. Roosevelt clearly reveals that
to identify honest opinion with
religious bigotry is exactly what
the hierarchy desires.
In calm consideration it there
fore can be said that the auto
cratic Roman Hierarchy which
dictates even the thoughts of nil
lions of Americans who belong to
the Catholic Church is unworthy
of the place OF leadership ne'd
even within the Roman Catholic
Church"
Glenn L. Archer. executive sec
rotary of Protestants and Other
Americans United for Separation
OF Church and State, predicted in
press statement today that the
names of Americans who are in
cluded in Cardinal Spellman's
definition of anti Catholic" will
run into several volumes, ZAP
preaching 130,00o.00o"
Mr.. Archer included the names
of the late Supreme Court JUS
tice Murphy and Alfred E. Smith
among those who would be listed
because they have not delivered
their mind, conscience and patri-
otism into the hands of the Ro-
man Catholic Archbishop of New
York for him to dispose Of at his
own discretion.

Robert j. McCracken, minister of
the Protestant Inter-Denomina-
tional Riverside Church, yesterday
defended Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
against charges by Francis Cardi-
nal Spellman that she is anti
Catholic.
Support for Mrs. Roosevelt also
arose when Norman Thomas. per-
ennia1 presidential candidate of
the Socialist Party. told an audi
ecne of 1000 in Sinking Spring,
Pa, yesterday, that he considered
the Cardinals "intemperate Ian
guage" as suggesting a weakness
In his case
Cardinal Spellman leveled his
charges against Mrs. Roosevelt
Friday after she voiced support in
her newspaper column for the Bar
den aid-to-education bill which
denies Federal funds to Catholic
schools.
Defends Articles on Bill.
DR.. McCracken, who succeeded
DR.. Harry Emerson Fosdick as
pastor of one of New York City's
most famous churches, said In a
sermon;
1T is disappointing to find the
cardinal accusing her of anti
Catholicism, prejudice, want Of
charity. the denial of equality and
at the same time intimating with
his accusation the controversy is
closed"
He added Mrs. Roosevelt's
articles on the Barden bill
seemed to me to have been writ
ten with moderation and in a
spirit of tolerance"
He said Cardinal Spellman' S
accusations came because Mrs.
Roosevelt had reminded the citi-
zens of this country that many
years ago it was decided that tax
supported public schools should
be entirely separated from any
kind of UNCONVENTIONAL control,
and that those who desire their
children to attend parochial
schools should be free to set them
up. provided they are willing to
maintain them"
Thomas Outlines Stand.
Everything about which Card
inal Spellman is exercised-health
and transportation services and
the free distribution of textbooks
is available for every child in
this country-Jew. Catholic. Pro-
testant-in our public schools" he
said.
IT, because Of religious and
UNCONVENTIONAL concern. Jews,
Catholics and Protestants estab-
lish independent schools and con-
troll them, it is right and proper
that they should meet the cost OF
their support" DR.. McCracken
said.
Mr.. Thomas said:
1.-The only way Of safety for
the American Constitution is not
to make an appropriation OF pub
lie funds for private or parochlal
schools Of any church or denom-
nation.
This has always been the So
cialist theory.-born not In op-.
position to religion. but out OF
respect for religious conscious
ness"
Mr.. Thomas said q great factor
in the success of the United States
is it's public school system which
does not separate children into
private or church schools.
He added that an American
citizen has right to support pri-
vate or parochial schools at his
own expense. but the Church and
State should be separated and
public funds should not be used
to support those schools anywhere
in the world.
