NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-Francis
Cardinal Spellman disclosed today
that in 1947 he asked the War De-
partment to take every possible
care" of Hungary's Crown of St.
Stephen.
The crown is at present in the
possession of the American Military
Government in Germany.
Last month Josef Cardinal
Midszenty. primate of Hungary, was
arrested by the Communist govern
ment, charged, among other things,
with hindering the return of the
crown to the Hungarian govern
ment.
The crown is an historic religious
relic, worn by Hungary's first king.
1t was taken during the war by the
Germans but was recovered by the
Americans.
Cardinal Spellman said in a state
ment that when Cardinal Midszenty
was in the United States he eX-
pressed the desire that the crown
be kept from the Communist lead
Iers Of Hungary.
The archbishop of New York also
made public letter he wrote to an
unidentified person in Europe in
which he said:
! Il am informed that the crown is
considered to be the property of the
Hungarian people
All things being considered I
fear that theer may be no legal way
in which the United States authori-
ties may retain the Crown of ST.

Social Democrats Get
Greek Cabinet Posts
Nv the Assncinted presx


| ATHENS, Greece, Jan. 8.-The
Greek government, on American
recommendation, decided today tc
take another party into the cabinet
to gain strength in Parliament.
George Papandreou, Social Demo
crat leader and former premier, an
nounced he would become minister
OF war and second vice premier, and
that his party will receive three
other portfolios.
Premier Themistokles SophouIs
Liberal-Populist coalition govern
ment was nearly toppled six weeks
ago, receiving vote of confidence
with only two votes to spare. The
Social Democrats have 80 votes in
the Chamber of Deputies.
The meeting of government lead
ers at which Mr.. Papandreou was
appointed also discussed a proposal
to name new commander of Greek
armed forces. An authoritative
source said Gen. Alexander Papagos
commander in chief during the war
with Italy, has been offered the post
but demanded concessions which
the government would not meet.
The police announced recently
they had frustrated a Communist
plot to assassinate Mr.. Papandreou

a right to economic security just
as the big man wishes to protect
his own interests when he requests
legislation beneficial to his business.
But the Government doesn't owe
any one living. The Government
must encourage self-reliance, self
help, self-control. e" We must be
cognizant of the fact that there are
some things which cannot be done
by individuals alone. The third
party to every public issue, the
public itself, has always demanded
that certain areas of regulation and
aid are the proper concern of Gov
eminent. increasingly. the Gov
eminent assumes the role of referee
or protector of the public interest
The increasing completely of our
economic problems stems from our
growing population. The greater
the completely, the less the ability
OF individuals to solve the prob
lens"
Moderation Urged.
Mrs. Smith described herself as
moderate" willing to accept the
best from the so-called liberals and
conservatives.
THE people want moderation, ="
she declared. They don t want the
extreme right or extreme left. The
party that first Identifies itself in
the eyes of the public as the moder-
ate party will achieve an, over
Whelming victory because it will &C
cede to the will Of the people rather
than to any special groups"
Attacking pressure group Govern
ment, Mrs. Smith said its most
dangerous aspect is that such groups
demand all or nothing at all A
legislator, she remarked, is called
either a reactionary or a radical
unless he or she votes 100 per cent
the way the pressure groups want.
But a policy of moderation must
avoid the weakness of pseudo
liberals who attempt to be all things
to all men at all times" she con-
tinued, 1t must not be mistaken
for straddling that rightfully re-
suits in political suicide. We cannot
go to extremes even in compromise
There can be no compromise be-
tween right and wrong Nor can
We accept compromise between Sc
curity and insecurity
All People Represented.
The Maine Senator attacked con-
troll OF political parties either by
Big Business" or Big Labor
The political parties belong to all
the people not just to the articu-
late pressure groups" she said. This
does not mean we cannot have

honest differences IN ldeologieS and
PHILOSOPHERS. But too often ideolog-
ical differences are mere cloaks that
hide selhshnesS, greed and the de-
sire to push other people around.
We must recognize there Is a true
liberalism that cannot be charac-
terized as 1eftist' just as much as
there is an intelligent conservatism
that cannot be classified as right
ist.'"
True liberalism, Mrs. Smith said,
will come when business men who
believe in monopolies or cartels see
the light and when labor leaders
who believe in closed shops and
other forms of monopoly, including
denial of the civil right to work. are
converted to intelligent moderation.
The dinner for Senator Smith was
attended by all women members of
the House as we'll as many other
House and Senate members includ-
ing Speaker Rayburn, Minority
Leader Martin. Chairman McGrath,

Margaret Chase Smith
6Iames COP. Failure.
On Attitude Of Leaders,

The Republican Party lost five
consecutive presidential elections be-
cause too many of its leaders OPP
posed proper Government interven-
ton in the economic affairs of the
people, Senator Margaret Chase
Smith declared last night.
The newly elected Republican
Senator from Maine, speaking at
Women's National Press Club dinner
at the Mayflower Hotel, in honor of
the nine women members of the new
Congress, explained why she voted
for Senator Taft, Republican of
Ohio, for chairman of the Senate
Republican Policy Committee last
wee.
- knew he had sponsored certain
liberal legislation in the past and
would in the future and those OPP
posing him did not offer any posi-
tive substitutes but only negative
proposals. she said.
Although group of Senators gen.
orally identified with the liberal wing
of the Republican Party spear
!lecoCo Vic uIlNe. against senator
Taft, the vote was not a test of
liberalism, Mrs. Smith declared.
Cautions on Control.
While denying that Democrats
are the party of labor" or that
Republicans are the party of big
business" Senator Smith criticized
some phases of COP leadership.
She also cautioned against excess
sive Government encroachment and
control.
The Republican Party has lost
five consecutive presidential cleo
tons because too many Republican
leaders have chung steadfastly to
the notion that it is not the bust
ness of the Federal Government to
intervene in the economic affairs of
the people," she said. They have
refused to recognize simple prin-
ciple of politics.
Nor is this a mere question of
expediency, for the little fellow has

The physician, Dr. Peter NJ

DR.. Lull hailed Dr. Murray's

practice of operting well-staffed

equipped, makeshift schools for
colored children, is a denial of the
equal protection of the laws guar
