Reports OF Romance Fail
To GET Magnuson Response
~ the Associated Press

by me NSSCcio1eC FTeSS
Widespread reports of a romance
between Senator Magnuson and
stage and screen beauty failed today
to bring any response from the
Washington State Democrat.
His office reported it still had no
word from the 43-year-old Senator.
Associates said they assume that
Senator Magnuson must have seen
published stories linking. his name
with that of June Millarde, 25-year-
old heiress-actress and if he wanted
to confirm or deny the stories he
would have issued a statement.
Senator Magnuson was recorded as
necessarily absent" when the 81st
Congress convened Monday.
Shortly afterward reports were
circulated that Miss Millarde, also
known as Toni Seven, had left New
York with the intention of marrying
the divorced Senator.

Postal Rate Increase
Won't Be Pressed
Al Present Session
by the Associated Press

Senator Johnston, Democrat. Of
South Carolina indicated today
that the Senate will wait until
next session before acting on
committee-approved bill to raise
postal rates by 500 5000 year.
Senator Johnston. chairman of
the Post ONCE Committee which
approved the bill yesterday. said
he doesn't plan to press for action
on the legislation now. while law
makers are adjournment-minded.
Higher postal rates have been
urged by the administration, but
Majority Leader Lucas said he
couldn't tell whether a place for
the measure can be found on the
already loaded Senate calendar.

around $500.000, 900.

lation. but has taken no action.
33 Million More Sought.
The bill is intended to increase
postal revenues about $33,000.000
annually by raising the 1-cent
rate on post cards used for busi-
ness purposes to cents.
Additional receipts of some
$4,000. 900 would be realized from
proposed rate boosts on second
class mail, largely newspapers and
magazines.
Over the protests of publishers,
the Post Office Department had
asked for a much sharper in

The rate on reading matter
would 60 up to cents a pound
from 11a cents. The rate on ad-

varies between postal zones from
IL cents to Z cents, would be in

That increase is meant to add
about $25,000,000 annually to

from 10 to 18 cents. They would
be advanced by the bill to a scale

Vatican SeesCathoIic
In Personal Crusade
After Moscow Attack .
By Ernie Hill
Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor and
the Chicago Dolly News

VATICAN CITY, Jan. 20.-Reli-
able Vatican sources say that the
open break with Moscow will rever-
berate in every village and city
where there is a Catholic church.
They say that priests and good
Catholics everywhere now consider
this a personal crusade"
They are referring to three
things:
/. The arrest of Josef Cardinal
Mindszenty in Hungary on charges
of treason and collaboration with
the Western world.
2. Radio Moscow's vicious attacks
against catholicism.
3. The Soviet announcement that
the headquarters for the national
Catholic church hereafter will be In
Moscow, not in Rome.
Truce Seen Ended.
The armed truce is over" says
one authority. I'VE now know ex-
dCUly WQeTe We SIdllu
Here in Vatican City there is in
tense activity, with many confer
enceS.
From a busy newSroom releases
are being poured out. In upper
clerical levels frocked officials OF
the church hurry from session to
session.
There is the general feeling that
the Vatican and Moscow now have
their cards on the table.
Cardinal Mindszenty's trial on
charges of treason and black mar
keteering in dollars is not expected
to help end the feud. He already is
marked down as a martyr to the
church."
The big concern is where the
Communists will strike next. III
The Vatican, which has always,
pleaded for peace, although it often
has condoned governmental dicta-
torships, is not taking Moscow at
tacks sitting down.
Mindszenty Is Rallying Force.
Cardinal Mindszenty, guilty or not
of the charges, has become the
rauying force. Officials say that
Moscow ordered his liquidation or
arrest. They say that his case
might have been dealt with differ
emily so as to prevent a rupture
They are convinced that Moscow
wanted a split with catholicism at
this time to draw attention away
from Berlin, Palestine and other
centers of conflict.
Where the United States stands
is serious question.
Among other things, Radio Mos
cow has charged Mindszenty with
Wall Street collaboration. Cardinal
Spellman has been charged with
recommending that the royal crown

Those who do not believe that free

should stop fooling themselves. They
continue to talk about freedom, but
they do not really believe in it, They
give lip service to liberty. but the
moment the test comes they call for
continued and increased power for
public officials.
Mr.. Speaker, the test is here. The
test has been long overdue. Are we
going to give our people, and the

| am reminded Of the words of a

price regulations Of February "A,
1777, in the Continental Congress.
where Mr.. Benjamin Rush stated:
THE salvation of this continent de-
ponds upon the authority of this Con-
gress being held as sacred as the
cause of liberty itself. Ii becomes US,
therefore, to be careful of the re-
mains Of our authority and char
acter."
1t is deplorable that IS years Of
false indoctrination has dulled our
sense of liberty, our passion for its
products.
l agree with Mr.. Chester Bowles
that what is at stake is our entire
economic future" only l believe that
our future, as our glorious past,
should be dedicated to freedom and
faith and not to price control and

We have corruption and we have
black markets because we have man
made control instead Of adherence to
that fundamental law called the law
Of supply and demand. A natural law
which is as inevitable and basic as
the law of gravity cannot be set aside
by any law even Of Congress. Free
men meeting in 4 free market doing
their free selling and buying proves
TO be far more honest in the long run
than people who have Government Of
ficials looking over their shoulders
every time they turn on every time
they finish a product. Freedom is
more honest than government and so
much more productive.
Everything that is happening now
points to the fact that if we now con-
tinue to substitute expediency for
faith in freedom we are on the road
to weakening more and more the
central idea upon which the Republic
was founded We are on the way to
corruption and disintegration. To
guarantee that this catastrophe shall
not happen to the last bastion Of free
economy in the whole world we must
keep free from price controls and hold
fast to our free economy.
If we cannot read history SO well
or act so courageously as our fore
fathers in dealing with price controls.
we can initiate them. Let US take a
leap of faith in freedom if we would
have food, clothing, shelter, and the
good life.

imperial edict fixing the prices of
commodities for the whole Roman
Empire. His grandiose scheme was
ushered in with fanfare of beneyo-
lent propaganda. In fact, in the pre-
