Catholic Information
Don't eat that-it's poisoned.

"NoW, children, be good while Mothers out. Don't play with the matches! Don't lean out the win dow! Don't eat that cake in the pantry-it's poisoned for rats!"
 What a lot of commands! What restrictions on the children's free dom! But who can question that a mother has both the right and the duth to give such commands?
 Sver since Christ said to Peter: Feed my lambs. Feed my sheep" Holy Mother Church has exer- cised the right and duty to feed her children Gods spiritual food and to protect them from poisonS, skillfully concocted to ruin the faith and morals of the unwary. It is for this reason that the Church has its Index of Forbidden Books.
 The Index is widely misunder- stood. It does not list by title and name all books and authors for bidden to the Catholic. In fact those so listed are comparatively few and consist largely of works about whose character there was doubt and upon which therefore the Church had to make public decision.
 The application to the great mass of Catholics is in the General Rules of the Index, which plainly show the type or character Of work, the reading of which is dan gerous to faith and morals and therefore forbidden under pain of grievous sin. If books of such character are not know to the in-

dividual by reputation, they soon make themselves manifest in the reading and the loyal Catholic inn mediately closes such a book.
 The General Rules of the Index closely parallel Gods natural law, which forbids any man deliberate ly to lead himself into temptation; for example, by such things as sin full companions. places of ill-re- pute, obscene plays and motion pictures.
 That the Index hampers free dom of thought is not true, unless license 10 absorb error and to dwell on impurity can be called freedom of thought" And the Church is eminently fair and prac- tical. Just as the doctor or chem ist is permitted to use drugs and poisons forbidden to the masses, so the well-foritfied Catholic teacher or scholar may be dispensed by the proper authorities from such rules of the Index, the observance of which would interfere with some necessary study or research.
 Christ said, He that heareth you, heareth me-" and so the ap- preciative Catholic bows his head in loving submission when Holy Mother Church says: Don't read that-it's poisoned!"

Krug Resigns As Secretary Of The Interior

 The President received the let ter of resignation half an hour af- ter Krug cOnfided to reporters that he was leaving and had wanted to leave for a long time"
 It was explained later that the delay in delivery of the letter was inadvertent.
 Krug had nothing to say on his plans. He has an interest in a Tennessee textile mill-in an area where. 10 years ago, he was chief power engineer for the Tennessee Valley Authority.
 Chapman likewise had no com ment. His wife said he was at his office all last evening writing an . address he will give at San Fran cisco Sunday.
 Chapman has been a member of the SO-called Little Cabinet" for l612 years.
 He became assistant secretary Of the interior in May, 1883, under der Secretary Harold L. Ickes. He served as acting secretary in the Six-Week interim between Ickes' resignation and Krug's appoinJ- ment, and became underSecretary the day after Krug took office in March, 1946
 He served on navy transports during World War I and was once referee and chief probation officer of the late Judge Ben B. Lindsey's famous juvenile and domestic re- lations court in Denver. Chapman was advance man" for President Truman'S western campaign travels last year and was credited with much of the success of the tours.
 Krug, on the other hand, was roundly criticized by the party faithful for not campaigning more ardently in 1948. Krug spoke for MT. Truman in the pre-cOnvention campaigning, but was not as ac- tive in speech-making thereafter as some of his cabinet colleagues.
 There have been other differ ences between Krug and MT. Tru- man since then.
 The President recently vetoed Navajo rehabilitation bill because of an amendment, said to have been accepted by Krug, which would have made the Indians sub ject to state laws.
 The Presidents comments on two recent reclamation proposals also appeared critical of the six foot-four, 200-pound-plus baby" of the cabinet. He reluctantly ap- proved one, but vetoed the other on grounds that the interior de- partments reclamation bure u had not established it's feasibility.
 AS secretary, Krug vigorously backed the cause of resource con- servation. He also worked for de- standardization of the department, and argued persuasively for large appropriations for his bureaus.
 He was a champion, too, of fed eral government ownership of the oil and other resources of the na- tion's tidelands.

1888, Is . story of devoted friendship well
worth separate telling.
Washington knew DR.. Wilbur as q
tall, lean, Lincolnesque man, encountered
wherever anything important was doing.
He was affable, easy to meet, perhaps not
altogether unreserved yet certainly not
bashfuI nor neutrality-suspicious., opti-
mistic, full of plans, conservative but not
a reactionary. Coming to cabinet Office
with long record of accomplishment, he
wanted constructive action and set per-
sonal example in that respect. The speed
ing up of administrative business which
followed his induction still is recalled by
some who watched it develop. It was not
for nothing that the Secretary was re-
ferred to as "the human buzz saw"
Dr. Wilbur enjoyed the sensation he
created. He built Hoover Dam, promoted
forest and oil conservation, helped the
Indians in the direction of self-sufhcient
independence investigated medical costs,
stirred up enthusiasm for improved child
health programs, stimulated home building
and home ownership, fought venereal
disease, labored for greater pan American
solidarity, helped boys clubs, preached
world citizenship on cultural basis. Many
Of these endeavors were coincidental, and
he went from one to another subject
with ease.
Undoubtedly, DR.. Wilbur realized his own
inherent powers and had pleasure in
spending them for popular advantage.
Even his political rivals testified to his
efficiency and altruism. He leaves bright
name which multitudes have reason to
appreciate.

Three-Duy Work Week

There will not be any widespread BELIEF
that John L. Lewis, in calling for three
day work week in the coal mines, is think
ing in terms of the public interest
Mr. Lewis is interested in the welfare OF
his union, the United Mine Workers. With
coal reserves piling up, he recognizes that
overproduction would mean lower prices,
and that lower prices would be quite apt
to necessitate lower wages. So Mr. Lewis,
not without considerable sympathetic sup
port among the operators, would like to
shorten the work week, curtail production
and hold up the price of coal. This, to be
sure, would hit John Public in the pocket
book, but that is a detail with which Mr..
Lewis would not be likely to concern'him-
self.
The operators have said that they will
not agree to this proposal since such an
agreement might expose them to prosecu-
ton under the antitrust laws Many OF
them would like to do 1t, for they, too, fear
a glut of coal. But the operators are eau
tious. They do not enjoy the immunity
from prosecution which the laws and the
courts have extended to the union.
Perhaps Mn Lewis will put three-day
week into effect on a unilateral basis. His
present contract provides that the miners
will work only when willing and able, and
it is hard to see what there is to prevent
him from saying to the operators: My men
are available for work three days week.
If you don't want them on that basis, they
are not willing to work at all.
If this happens there will be indignant
protests. But protests, no matter how in
dignant, do not answer the central ques-
ton posed by the economic facts of the
coal industry. With the great wartime
demand for coal subslding, the industry is
capable of producing, on full-time basis,
more coal than 1t can sell. If a glut de-
velops, and price war begins, there is
good chance that the industry will find
itself in as desperate an economic situation
as that which prevailed before the Guffey
Coal Act was passed. If that happened it
would not be good for the miners, for the
operators or for the country. So in this
sense, at least, it cannot be denied that
there Is certain grim logic in the Lewis
proposal And what about the mass pro-
duction industries? If those industries
continue to work on full-time basis there
will come a day when we will have pro-
duced all of the automobiles, refrigerators,
washing machines, etc, that the domestic
market can absorb. If current cost trends
continue we will have pretty well priced
ourselves out of foreign markets. What
then? Will any one be able to come up
with better solution than drastically
curtailed work week designed to keep pro-
duction in balance with demand?

ArIinqton's New School Heed

William A. Early, who Is about 10 take
over the superintendency OF Arlington
County's schools, comes well equipped for
a difficult task. He will need all OF his
experience and a great deal OF ingenuity
and endurance to administer the wards
jointed overcrowded system which serves
the children of the faS-growing commu-
nifty Just across the Potomac River.
Fortunately, Mr.. Early Is familiar with
the problems of public education under
conditions Of emergency expansion. Before
becoming superintendent of Norfolk County
schools he was principal of the Alexander
Park Schools In Portsmouth, q wartime
project which mushroomed from a small
beginning into a six-building enterprise
housing more than 1000 pupils and lls
teachers. His success in handling this
tough assignment led to his appointment
as head of the entire Norfolk County
system.
Arlington has been faced with similar
school problems, also as result OF rapid
population growth. This growth, continu-
ing after the war, has brought serious
classroom and teaching personnel short
ages and perplexing finance problems 1t
also has brought civic dissatisfaction with
old policies and procedures and this unrest
has resulted in a decision TO elect the
school board and in demands for various
reforms. One of the first decisions of
the new board was to find a new superin-
tendent who had had successful experience
in coping with such emergency problems
as the war and the postwar period brought
to Arlington. 1t is only fair to Fletcher
Kemp, whom Mr.. Early replaces, to
point out that during his 80 years of
service as superintendent he saw Arling
tons schools develop from an easy-going
rural status to a modern, though gravely
overburdened, system. He cannot fairly be
blamed for inadequate facilities and in
adequate finances.
Mr. Early will assume the superintend-
ency tomorrow at time when school con-
ditions are still serious, although improv-
ing. More money has been made available
for school construction and a building
program is under way. He will have the
best wishes of Arlington's citizens in his
efforts to solve the problems which still
remain.

Making Money Is Risky

with big-time eounterfeiting rings be-
coming a rarity on the American crime
scene, the discovery by the Secret Service
of s1eO, 900. fake-money syndicate right
here in Washington is real piece of news
Most old-time counterfeiterS have learned
by sad experience that making their own
money is poor way of getting rich. The
Secret Service, whose particular job 1t is
to safeguard the currency as we'll as the
President, has made life miserable for
counterfeiters in recent years. 1t is sur
prising, therefore, to find gang foolish
enough to establish itself only few blocks
from the Treasury.
Perhaps the ring which is charged with
printing notes in downtown Office build
ing mistook the relative lull in Secret Serv-
ice raids-of late as an indication of relaxed
vigilance. It is true that counterfeiting
Is not the profitable racket 1t used to be
in the roaring thirties, when fake money
kept the Secret Service constantly on the
lump. In 1887 nearly three quarters OF
million of worthless bills were confiscated.
The war brought a drastic drop in counter
feiting activities. Some of the bad-money
boys found more lucrative ways OF earning
a living in war plants, some entered the
military services and those who stuck with
the racket found it difficult to get the
paper and ink and machinery needed to
carry on their trade"
After the war an increase of counterfeit
bills from foreign sources was noted. The
biggest haul by the Secret Service In Is
years was made in Marseilles, France, in
the fall Of 1947, when more than two mil
lion dollars In fake currency was seized.

What Next, Mr.. Krug?

In deciding to close the Anacostia
swimming pool as an emergency measure
to deal with the consequences OF his own
rasl1ness, Secretary Krug has done the right
thing. But 1t must be obvious to any one
that closing the pool until further notice
does not cure the damage ,tnat has been
done by Mr.. Krug's attempt to break down
segregation at the wrong time and IN the
wrong place.
The Interior Departments policy has
had two results. One has Deen to convert
the Mckinley pool, for all practical pur-
poses, from white pool to colored pool.
The other was to create situation at the
Anacostia pool which posed an imminent
and critical threat to the community.
This had been foreseen by the majority
members of the District Recreation Board,
but their warnings were ignored by the
responsible Interior officials The latter
decided to force the issue Of segregation,
and the most serious consequences were
'averted yesterday only as result of the
very fine work of the metropolitan and
park police.
This experience has demonstrated that
community sentiment in Washington is
not ready for nonsegregated swimming.
Much progress has been made in other
fields, but it ought to be evident even to
the Interior Department officials, that
abolishment of segregation in the pools Is
too long a step to take now.
So what will Mr.. Krug do? 1t would
seem that he can do .one of two things.
He can keep the Anacostia pool closed
indefinitely, and thereby deprive the peo-
pie of its use Or he can confess and
correct his own error by abandoning the
effort to enforce there policy that the
community is not ready to accept.

In the past year or two there has been q
revival of domestic counterfeittng In vari-
GUS parts of the country. But the Secret
Service. with public cooperation, is max
ing the crime an exceedingly hazardous
one. The Know Your Money" educational!
campaign. begun several years ago, has
helped to familiarize cashiers, tellers and
other money handlers with the peculiari-
ties OF queer money The campaign has
paid of with arrests and with removal
from circulation of much worthless paper.
The results justify continuance OF the cam
paign-not only in the press, over the
radio and by movies but through use Of
that new medium OF visual education. tele-
vision.
