day when we may have to try to divide
very limited number of jobs among vast
number of available workers. In the cir
cumstances, in DR.. Harris opinion, 20
hour work week and a 35-week work year
conceivably may become widespread In
the next three or four decades.
Clearly, if the observations OF the Brook
ings Institution, the Twentieth Century
Fund and men like DR.. Harris are reason
ably accurate, our country is going to run
into strange new problems in fairly rapid
order Wholly apart from the rest of the
world-whose complexities will increase
with increasing population-the prospect
strongly indicates that there will be novel
adjustments and gradual but deep social,
economic and political changes in our
American system. Will our free way OF
life survive those changes? The optimists
say "yes," but the "yes" is predicated on a
number of big "ifs."

Attention-AII Retailers!

Unlike the sales tax laws In some OF
the States-Maryland, for example-our
law, which goes into effect on Monday,
applies the tax against the gross receipts
of those who sell tangible personal prop
erty. In other words, the merchant must
pay the tax, computed on the amount
of his sales.
But the merchant is given authority
to collect his tax from those who buy
his goods. Such authority is conveyed
only by certificate of Registration"
which empowers him to obtain reimburse
ment by charging penny extra on sales
ranging from IA to So cents; two cents
extra on sales ranging from 81 cents to
$113 and another penny on each SO cents
or fraction thereof over $1.13.
This certificate of Registration" is
highly important for any retail merchant.
right to collect from the public the sales
tax that he must pay on his gross receipts.
That fact has been publicized in the
newspapers. The District Assessor made
the forms available weeks ago in over
eighty different locations in the city-hre
houses, police stations, banks, etc.
Out of an estimated 10000 places of
business which should have the certif1-
Gates, only about third have applied for
them. Applications are coming into the
District Building now at the rate OF about
1000 day. But the law goes into effect
Monday. Anybody doing a retail busi-
ness in the District who has neglected
his certificate of Registration" would
do well to repair the lack Immediately.

Buruch on Europe

Bernard M. Baruch enjoys q deserved
reputation for common-sense sagacity, the
fruit of long life of successful experience
in finance and business. This knowledge
has been applied to the public service in
his capacity as governmental adviser on
industry in both world wars. With such
a background, his opinions on current
economic situations merit attention. And
he has just voiced such judgments In q
press interview given on his return to
America from q European trip.
Perhaps the outstanding feature of his
remarks is a sharp contrast between his
views on the economic outlook in this
country and that in Europe, with special
reference to Britain. For the United
States he sees nothing much to worry
about, from the economic angle. Discount
ing the likelihood of slump" he mini
mizes the effects of a temporary recession
in business by saying: If we lose some
money, we'll just tighten our belts and 60
ahead as we have before"
However, this optimism does not extend
to Europe, where he sees several things
wrong with the current picture. He de-
plores the slow progress made in Western
Europe toward the attainment of unity in
the economic and defense fields. Such
slowness' is largely responsible for hin
drances in the potential effectiveness OF
the Marshall Plan. So long as the nations
of Western Europe thus procrastinate, he
views them as bundle OF. sticks which
could be broken one by one; whereas, effec-
lively united and with our assistance, "they
can become pretty strong combination"
Mr.. Baruch would seem to indicate that
judicious pressure from our side might
spur the West Europeans to more self
initiative. Asked whether he thought
Europe might help itself more If the
United States helped it less, he answered:
There's heap of sense in that"
Especially pertinent is Mr.. Baruch's
opinion on Britain. "The English" he as
serted, "are great people. But today they
are spending so much time nationalizing
and socializing that they are neglecting to
use their energies to develop the country
and increase it's production" Those viii

Federal Employees Rights

There was nothing surprising or new IN
District Judge Holtzof1's ruling in the
much discussed Dorothy Bailey loyalty
case. When Judge Holtzoff several weeks
ago upheld the right of the Government to
adopt and enforce loyalty screening pro-
cedures, he established broad principle
which, unless overruled by higher courts,
applies to all cases in which constitution
ality of the program is questioned.
In the earlier case, involving joint ap-
peal by group of dimissed postal workers,
the court ruled that the loyalty program
infringes neither the free speech nor the
"due process" provisions of the Constitu-
tion The constitutional guarantees do not
apply, he said, in the employer -employe
relationship existing between the Govern
ment and the men and women who work
for it. In short, a citizens constitutional
rights do not include right to Federal
employment. As Judge Holtzof pointed
out in the Bailey case, "it is no violation of
the Constitution If an employe is severed
from his job at any time" And, when
ever the Government grants such an en-
ploye hearing, "it is a matter OF grace
rather than right"
That being so, the Government is under
no constitutional obligation to provide any
hearings at all under the loyalty program.
But, in an effort to handle the difficult Sc
curity problem as fairly as possible, the
Government has set up review and hearing
procedures more elaborate than any pre-
viously provided in such cases. These
procedures do not, of course, constitute due
process Of law in the juridical sense. The
court stressed that in proceedings of this
kind 1--WE must bear in mind that a Gov
ernment employe is not entitled to an open
trial" Were it otherwise, the whole loyalty
program would become so weighted in
favor Of the employees as to imperil the
rights of the Government to protect itself
from fifth column activities,

be welcome words for the British Con-
servatives, who are blaming the Labor
Government for precisely the things Mr..
Baruch criticizes. Indeed, he went on to
voice hope that the British would return
to the sternly realistic philosophy of
"blood, sweat and tears" which sustained
them during the war years, though he
declined to speculate as to whether Win
ston Churchill, the coiner of that formula,
would be given a popular mandate to
apply 1t once more.

Catholic Properties in Use

To the Editor OF The Star:
Your correspondent Albert D. Rust calls
for comparison of church-owne property.
segregated as to Catholic and other de-
nominations. Such comparison indeed
would be Of interest, but hardly along
the line of his implication. For ex-
ample: 1t would show an overwhelm-
ing preponderance Of strangely vacant
tax-free structures of "other religious
denominations" 1t would show that the
property owned by the Catholic Church,
though incomparably smaller in amount. is
used to the fullest extent in the vital busi-
ness of caring for the spiritual and tenn
poral needs of humanity; not only in schools
churches and seminaries but in orphanages,
hospitals homes for transients. the aged. the
poor and the derelict. All Of this, Of course,
to the immense advantage of righteous tax
payers such as Mr.. Rust. A. A. F..

Results of Discussion Appraised

Results OF Discussion Appraised
To the Editor Of The Star:
Mrs. Roosevelt says Cardinal Spellman's
letter surprised me considerably" Probably
1t surprised many others too, but it was not
a surprise to everybody. It brings to mind
prophetic utterance by a prominent Wash
ington minister about two years ago, when
the Cardinal had loosed blast at Protestant
leaders who did not see eye to eye with him.
His diction and vocabulary were pretty much
the same as in his recent missive to the
former First Lady. A group Of local Protes-
tant clerics were discussing what, If any
thing, should be done about 1t. One Of them
quickly settled the question by remarking in
effect: "Of course, we can't allow ourselves
to answer him in kind. Just give him time
and he'll cook his own goose"
Aside from the culinary aspect, the Cardi-
nails epistle seems to have had these among
other results: It has interrupted the growing
feeling of sympathy and solidarity between
Protestants and Catholics in the face Of Com
munist persecution. And 1t has broken up
the supposed Protestant monopoly on in
tolerance and bigotry, against which the
Cardinal likes to declaim. IPSE DIXIT.
Alleges Mrs. Roosevelt Is Catholic
To the Editor of The STAR
Each Sunday Mrs. Roosevelt worships in
the Episcopal church; she repeats the Apos-
ties creed. saying, II believe in the Holy
Catholic Church. Of which she is COM
municant How then could she be "anti-
Catholic?
While I was with Washington Cathedral

Of the United States and from some parts
of Europe. During one of our pilgrimages
through the cathedral, was approached by
q young man and addressed as Father"
Later he noticed my Masonic ring and said.
"You are not priest, are you?" assured
him Of the fact that I was, to which he
naturally did not agree saying he had been
taught in a parochial school that there was
but one true church and one apostolic priest

on account of his ungentlemanly and un-

harm than good.

Catholic Support of Public Schools


Catholic Support OF Fubhc SchOOlS
To the Editor Of The STAR
It has been said, and often lately. But
Catholics can attend public schools if they
want to-" In other words let them pay their
money to support the public school system
it is not the non-Catholics fault If Catholics
prefer to maintain their own schools and
attend them.
Now for Catholics to be legally forced to
maintain q public school system that they
do not use. and also contribute money to the
Federal Government to be given to the public
school system with no chance OF their par
ticipating is very much like being forced to
buy ticket for slow boat to China First
of all, you would have no desire to go to
China and most assuredly not by slow boat.
Anyway, do not think that the Feoeral
or State Governments should accept Catholic
dollars to pay for educating, feeding and
delivering nom Catholics to public schools.

Catholic Predominance in South America .
To the Editor OF The Star:
Catholics always have held themselves up
as being against any kind of union of church
and state, yet when any issue that is on the
border line comes up they are all for it
and will attack anyone who opposes their
views.
Cardinal Spellman is inconsistent in say
ing he is against union of church and state.
1t was Catholic priest. Father O'Brien, who
wrote, I'VE, the hierarchy Of the Holy
Roman Catholic church expect all loyal
children Of the church to assist the Presi-
dent :. to see that the individuals COM
prising the United States Supreme Court
shall obey the Presidents injunctions, and
if necessary, we will change, amend, or blot
out the present Constitution so that the
President can enforce, his, or rather our.
humanitarian program on all phases of
human rights as laid down by our SANITY
Pope :" etc. I'VE are going to have our
laws made and enforced according to the
teachings of our Holy See."
When Russians talk like that, we say they
are seeking to undermine the government.
All over the world Catholics have been mixed
up with governments more than any other
church. Just look at South America. It's
downright dangerous for Protestant mis-
sionary to go down there.

Public School Benefits Stressed
To the Editor OF The Star
feel that the publication of Francis
Cardinal Spellmans letter to Mrs. Roosevelt
has enlightened the parents of parochial
school children. Through this letter he has
brought to their attention the advantages
of free public schools.
The Constitution of the United States
gives every child regardless of religion or
color, the privilege of attending public
schools. 1t also gives every child the rights
and benefits of all Federal aid given to the
public schools. If for some reason the par
ents of child do not accept the taxable
privilege offered by our Federal Government.
but enroll their child in private or reli-
gious school, then the child should lose the
benefits of the free public schools. If the
Federal funds provide milk, transportation
and treatment to immunize the children
from contagious disease, free of charge, and
we do not accept them, then we are not un-
justly taxed. We could not expect to escape
paying taxes for roads and bridges just be-
cause we refused to use them. L. c. w.
Praises Mrs. Roosevelt for Her Services
To the Editor of The Star:
The recent attack by Cardinal of the
Catholic church on Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
welt should not be allowed to go unchal-
lenged.
We owe Mrs. Roosevelt some gratitude for
the years spent serving with her husband
q world torn with wars; a world on the
brink of chaos, when her influence and
great strength of character. more than any
other factor, made it possible for the Pres
ident to carry the heavy responsibility and
heartaches of world leadership. She has
served and served WELL
When they attack Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
velt, it's everybodys business.
The Catholic cardinal owes this truly
great widow of former president COM
plete retraction of his statements concern
ing her. and the church itself should make
clear its stand in the matter or assume
responsibility for the public statements OF
its clergy. AN INDIGNANT MOTHER.

Representative Held to Blame
To the Editor of The STAR
The Roosevelt -Spellman controversy over
the Barden bill is very unfortunate.
The Barden Bill is unfair. It includes re-
strictions against health and transportation
benefits to those who do not attend public
schools. Representative Barden not Cardinal
Spellman made the issue.
Cardinal Spellman was exercising the same
right which Mrs. Roosevelt does in her daily

broadcasts.

Cardinals Attitude Un-American?
To the Editor of The Star:

Caf01naES AttlLuOe On- -AmcFlcdH!
To the Editor of The Star:
Men in such responsible positions as Cardi-
nal Spellman cannot afford to give vent to
their theological passions by so unwarrant-
edly attacking the character and dignity OF
any citizen public or private.
It is not question of religious preference
but of Federal aid to education. 1t is not
question of religious intolerance but Of free
dom of thought and expression.
If there be Americans who should seek
unity, peace, and truth among men, it is
men in positions so responsible as is Cardinal
Spellnan.
I do trust the Cardinal read your forth
right and commendable editorial and realizes
the indignity of his reactions. To hope that
he will apologize is too optimistic. Men born
of this age are seldom born humble. But
perhaps others reading it will avoid well the
pit of un- n-Americanism into which the Cardi-
nal regrettably has fallen.
