Cardinal Mooney Asks
School Aid With Fair
Deal for All Children
Nv the Assocjofsd Press

ROME. Aug. 17.-Edward Car
dinal Mooney of Detroit called
yesterday for Federal aid to edu-
cation in the United States, with
a fair deal for all our children. "
The cardinal, who is Archbishop
of Detroit, made no reference to
the recent differences. on this SUBJ
ject between Mrs. Eleanor Roose-
velt and Francis Cardinal Spell
man of Detroit. Nor did he COM
ment on the Barden bill. which
would limit the use of Federal
funds to publicly supported
schools.
Federal aid to education. the
cardinal told reporters, lis an in
hammable subject and I don't
want to add fuel to the flames"
I'VE must be constructive and
keep clearly in view the good of
our country as a WHOLE" he said,
adding that II don't think any re-
ligious body in the United States
wants to dominate education for
it's own interests and to the dis
advantage of Others"
A Federal Government entry
into the field of public education
would set a pattern, the cardinal
said.
"We-all of us-want to see it
(the Federal Government) get in
to this feld with a fair deal for
all our children" he said. 1--WE
have a real problem to meet on a
national scale for the first time,

here of two men and a high

Uncovered accidentally when
one of the men was arrested for
investigation on suspected auto

operation was stopped when pro-
duction had reached only "a bills,

Secret Service agents said the
juvenile, a 15-year-old high school
sophomore. began making the
bogus bills about a month ago on

weren't convincing. even on care

Treasury agents. because they
lacked the usual green coloring
on the backs and had the seal
and a large number on the face
colored with blue crayon. In ad-
dition, the paper was about three
times as thick as it should be and
stiff, in contrast to the rag
content paper used for genuine
currency. the agents pointed out.
The bills first caught McDowells
eye at the restaurant where he
is employed as a dishwasher and
where the youthful photostat-
artist eats regularly, the agents
said. Mcdowell told them. they
related, that he proposed to use
the bills in a crap game and split
the proceeds with the youth.
The end came after Mcdowell
passed along one of the samples
to Jackson, who had the bill in
his possession when arrested, the
agents said. jackson led the way
to Mcdowell, and Mcdowell re-
vealed the source, they added.
y Each of the men was charged
with possessing counterfeit cur
rency with the intent of using
or passing it. The auto-tamper-

FROM my small office I can see
l anyone who passes through the
wide front doorway before he can see
me. In that brief period I can size
up prospective customer, and that's
how it was with Fred Miller.
He was small and frail-appearing.
There was nothing spectacular about
him except his tie, but it was an eye
catcher. Like nervous monkey, he
batted his eyes rapidly to adjust them
to the semi-gloom of the garage. l
had time to catalog him as cinch for
lot of extras.
Seeing me in the office, he came
over hesitating at the door until I
said, "Come on in" I stood to shake
his thin hand.
He had blue eyes that were deep
set in their orbits; they hung on mine
like those of dog that isn't sure of
kick or a caress. The flesh beneath
them sagged into pouches, and his
face was deeply lined. He had the
unwholesome pallor of man who
spends "a great deal of time indoors.
what can I do for your" I asked
'Why," he said, II want to buy a
car"
$50 do thousand other people IN
this town." Ireminded him.
II know. That's why I'm here now.
/ want to get on your list for future
delivery"
Even as I told him it would be at
least two years before he'd get his
car, the way thing were moving, I
was remembering things that I had
heard about him-how his home had
been broken, how his wife had taken
their boy and gone out to the coast.
Browning chief., 1949-06-10

Mr.. Stone, how much will the car
cost?"
Hard to say, Fred, right now it
sells for eighteen hundred. But you
guess with me as to what it will cost
two years from now"
I'm sure he only half-heard me. He
said, like he was almost talking to
himself, Eighteen hundred. About
what l figured. I'll have it."
He wasn't like most of my custom
ers; he didn't keep harping on me for
the new car Until summer came, at
any rate. Then one day he brought
the boy in. He was lots taller than
the old man, already, and devoted to
him. From then on until the boy
went back to the coast, they were in
the garage at least once each day,
poring over pictures of the new auto,
questioning my mechanics, and dis
cussing it between themselves. Even
after the boy had gJne back to the
coast, Fred would come in and pick
up any new literature might have
on the car. knew what he'd do with
it, too; make notes in the margins,
write letters about the auto, and send
them all on to that boy.
Time went along. The wife and
my boys went off on a vacation.
never liked going home to an empty
house, so would put it off to the last
minute, and hang around the club till
bedtime. That's how I found out that
Fred liked the social life and late
hours. 1 sort of figured that account
ed for the bags under his eyes.
But Doc Howell set me right. He

ing, and somehow on the way to the

something was needed, Tommy

a triple or make killing play in

conversation.
Doc thought it shame the way his
wife treated him. That woman milks
him for every cent he can get. He
owes everyone, including me-"
I thought about all the times I had
seen Fred down at the club. Now it
costs money to belong, and if one gets
into the games very often, that's ex-
pensive, too. Fred didn't stack very
high with me right then, because I
couldn't see how he could be broke
and keep up the activities had OBJ
served. guess Doc read my thoughts.
Don't be too hard on Fred, Marty"
he said. "You may not know it, but
he isn't down there at that club every
night just for fun. He has sort of
job; assistant to the steward. rather
suspect he lives on what he makes
there, and sends his regular salary
check out to the wife, for that boy"
He watched the road for few mo-
ments before continuing. Fred is
not at all well. If he would take it
easy, get lot of rest and stop drink
ing, he might last long time, but
his voice trailed off into silence. He
rarely talked about his patients, I
figured he thought he had said too
much already.

one fine summer day found that the
next car on my list was for him. But
I was dubious about the deal. After
all, was in business to make money;
there were lot of names after his
that would be great deal better
business. 1t looked like Fred Miller
was about to get the go-by, at least
for a little while.
Then that same day I twisted my
knee and had to go to Docs office to
get it wrapped. Climbing the we'll
worn stairs, I met Fred coming down.
He looked just about all in, and very
sad. thought to myself: "Oh well,
what can lose?" and told him about
the car.
His face broke into a million wrin-
kles as he smiled. That's fine," he
said, "That's good. The boy will like
that" He went on down the steps
with a lot more life to his tread. ]
went on up to Docs.
Just to make conversation, I asked
him what was wrong with fred. His
answer was vague, as I might have
known it would be.
Cant understand the little fellow;
he goes right on doing all the things
tell him are bad, yet he keeps COM
ing in here to have me check him
over. All I can do is shake my head,
tell him to get more rest and stop
burning the candle from both ends"
He adjusted couple Of pads around
my leg, plugged some wires into a
machine, and ficked a switch.

It was said that Miller had agreed to
some fantastic alimony if only she
would let the boy come to him for at
least a part of the year. He had some
sort of minor post in one of the gov
ernment agencies in town; knew it
couldn't pay very much. didn't see
how he would be able to pay me the
price of new auto, but two years is
a long time and much could happen
in the interim. Anyway, I could al
ways sell new car. So felt around
in my desk and finally came up with
the list. what kind do you want?
Coupe? Sedan?"
"A coupe, please"
with or without wheels?"
Fred smiled, tentatively. He wasn't
sure whether or not he was supposed
to laugh.

Eyes, I'd like to. How much do you

"Suit yourself. Even if you give
me the full purchase price, it won't
bring your car any sooner"
He nodded. Fair enough. I'll
leave you two hundred"
took the bills and gave him re-
ceipt. Then I asked if he had a
trade-in.
He looked startled. "No, Mr.. Stone,
I haven't. Is it necessary to have
one?"
"Oh, no. Not absolutely neces-
sary." A trade-in is still nice to have,
though, for there is money in those
used cars.

years he'll be eighteen and he'll want
a car. This is no town for boy if
ne has to walk everywhere or depend
on others for transportation. I plan
to have a nice auto for him when he's
ready for it."
"Yeah, yeah. That'n be fine" There
was something holding back in him
when he talked about that kid, and
it made me uncomfortable. As though
he might talk about him the rest of
the day If he had any encouragement.
But wasn't giving him any.
