Catholic leaders and to Catholic newspapermen, may lie in the fact that Cardinal Spellman is not pop uiar with various of the Catholic hierarchy. Catholic leaders inter- viewed this week pointed out that Spellman has jurisdiction only over the New York metropolitan area, excluding Brooklyn, which is un- der the jurisdiction Of Bishop Mel Joy
 They also pointed out that, de- spite this, the New York Cardinal has shown great dexterity in plac- ing his own friends in certain key spots where they can influence church policy. Recently, he ap- pointed one Of his proteges, Father Thomas J. Mccarthy, to be chief of the National Catholic Welfare Conference Information Bureau which distributes news to all Cath olic papers.
 Another of Spellman's proteges. J. Francis Mcintyre, was appoint ed Archbishop of Los Angeles, an appointement resented by many Southern California Catholics where the population is largely Italian and Mexican and not appreclative of an Irish clergyman all the way from New York. This is the first time an Archbishop has been ap- pointed to that area who could not speak Spanish.

TALE OF TWO CITIES

In two widely separated Ameri- can cities, two attempts are being staged at encouraging people-to- people friendship-the only sure way to prevent war.
 In Philadelphia-is located the eldest international house in the country. established to house and encourage foreign students in the United States
 In Jacksonville, Alabama-is To- cated the youngest international house in the country, established for the same purpose and objec- tive.
 Jacksonville is a small town = about 10000 It has no great To- cal industries, no wealthy taxpay- ing population, but a population which, living inland, doesn't worry i too much about enemy attacks. Yet it raised the money to build it's own international house for for eign students.
 [ Philadelphia, third largest city in the LISA, is called The City of Brotherly Love- Philadelphia lived up to it's traditions by found- ingn the first international house in the entire country But now slow, sleepy Philadelphia feels less bretherly. Its international house has already cut it's budget, begun to fire personnel, while down ir 1 Alabama, the Jacksonville foreigr <, students project is going strong.

FIRST AMERICAN POPE

Some years ago, Spellman wrote a speech fer Jimmy Roosevelt to deliver at Springfield, Mass, i'll faver of the Child Labor Lava law opposed by Cardinal O'Connell of Boston Spellman had served under O'Connell as his auxiliary bishop, and when Spellman was promoted to be Archbishop of New York, a Catholic newspaperman congratulated Cardinal O'Connell. The muchloved prelate did not re- ply immediately. Finally, with 8 note of sadness, he said.
 Francis epitomizes what happens to bookkeeper when you teach him how to write"
 Many Of the Catholic hierarchy have felt that Cardinal Spellmans frequent visits at the White House, bis widely publicized magazine ar ticles, and his various trips 10 Eu- rope were part of a campaign to make him Papal secretary and lat CT the first American Pope.
 It is recalled that when the American cardinalsdesignate went to the Vatican to receive their red hats, Spellman alone was kiss ed by the Pope At that time, the late Cardinal Glennon of St. Louis remarked to Congressman Joseph Casey of Massachusetts, who ac- companied him to Rome:
 T hear Spellman wants to be Papal Secretary. He'll have us all in hot water"
 That, many Catholics fear, is now what has happened. They point to the constantly growing Ku Klux Klan and to the Zoom- ing sale of Paul Blanshards book. American Freedom and Catholic Power The book received almcst no reviews in the press, while even advertisements were banned

 All of which is why, in fairness to all Catholics, it should be not ed that Cardinal Spellman appears to represent only one segment of his church.

 The ssing plane was on a 3.000- mile flight from Dakar, French West Africa, to England. Its fuel should lCng since have been exhausted, and authorities say it definitely is down somewhere.

CHARGE MADE OF
 STALLlNG DURING
 DEBATE IN HOUSE:

During the afternoon property tax debate, it's supporters charged that attempts were being made to stall and get it back into the Ways and Means committee for indefinite de- lay.
 Jensen said at one point that it would be good idea to force a full third reading of the 22-page bill, then maybe we would see some more of the bugs in it and not pass it at all"
 Jensen argued that the property tax bill would "hamstring the terri tory at time when the lumber industry is down, the fishing indus try is having its troubles and min ing is flat"
 He said members had now found that the bill provided for a tax on all stocks and bonds but mo bankers have been called to find what effect such tax would have on the Ter ritory1
 Rep William Egan, Valdez Dem- ocrat, led off the. afternoon debate to keep the bill from going back into committee.
 This has been before the peo- pie and legislature for years he declared. Its not new It's been studied well At 20 mills l think il was too high but at 10 mills no one can say it is unreasonable.
 In response to expressions from some of the Nome delegation that valuations might be inequitable, Egan insisted fairness would te as sured because the boards of equali- zation in each division would be composed of residents of the diyis- ion
 Mrs. Essie Dale, Fairbanks Demo- crat, charged the opponents of the bill were killing time and stalling' in trying to get the bill back ta committee
 Mrs. Amelia Gundersen, Ketchikan Democrat, and Frank Angerman Fairbanks Democrat, were others who made impassioned pleas for quick action on the bill "so we can go home and face our people witt realization we have done our duty"
 Frank G. Johnson, Republican from Rake, failed on a IS to 9 vote to get 'Iraternal and benevo- lent organizations written into the section cn groups exempt from the tax
 Jensen also tried to get in an amendment to knock out clause which provided any veterans or ganization property which produces rentals or profits should be subject to the tax. It last 20 to 4
 Jensen offered another amend ment to exempt new industries for 10 years. He said every encourage ment should be given to industries. such as the proposed pulp mills which would build up territorial payrolls and add to it's wealth.
 It was voted down, and the ex- emption figure was left for the peried cf construction only, not to exceed three years. Rep. c. (Red) Carlson ridiculed the argument in behalf of the proposed pulp mills, telling the legislators they were talking in the same rosy terms about the pulp mills are coming soon" when he made his first trip to Juneau in 1927.
