does not conduct negotiations dur

Mr.. Lewis has notified his 49,

miners to start a one-week "holi-

was necessary in order to sta

fering from slumping demand and

Lewis as a headline hunter when
questioned about the mine holi-
day at his press conference yes

say whether the Government
would take any action In the mine

garded as highly unlikely that the
Government would. or could, do
anything to prevent the walkout.

1886.
At the same time, Trud, the news
paper of the Soviet trade unions, re-
vealed why the Reds only now are
claiming inventions which have gen.
orally been credited to westerners.
The Russian czars, said Trud, hid the
truth of Russian scientific progress in
order to please the foreign capitalists.
For their own purposes, Trud said,
the Russian leaders wanted to encour-
age foreigners to think that the coun-
try was backward. So they suppressed
the truth. Under the Soviets, how
ever, the real facts have been unveiled
to combat theories of "Anglo-Saxon
superiority" which "Anglo-American
warmongers" were spreading.
While it was at it, Trud added a
few more claims in fields not yet COW
cred by the new Russian discoveries. I"

of the basic theories of electroly-
sis, electromagnetic, photo-eleetrics,

EUROPE: FIare-Up in RedW War on Religion

PELIGION'S fight against Com
An munist encroachments has
spread throughout the European
continent. It is shaping up now as
a no quarter war to the finish.
The Vatican has developed its
stand after growing restrictions be-
hind the Iron Curtain, the imprison-
ment of leaders like Cardinal Minds
zenty of Hungary and Communist at
tempts to seize control of the church
in Czechoslovakia. Now it has ruled
that Communists or Communist SYM
pathizers no longer can be regarded
as Catholics entitled to the sacra-
mentS.
Present focal point of the Church
VS.. Communism struggle is Czecho-
Slovakia. There, according to a party
manifesto which has reached western
hands, the Reds seek to sever all ties
between the Czech Catholic hierarchy
and the Vatican, build wall between
Czech bishops and archbishops and
the people, turn the people against
Archbishop Josef Beran, and in effect
set up a church subservient to the
Communist state. The 60-year-old
Archbishop has been accused of trea-
son by Justice Minister Alexei Ce-
picka and the Czech press has ac-
cused the bishops of organizing an
illegal network Of communication"
to promote resistance.
The party's manifesto said that as
long as Catholics are mot completely
divided, we will not be able to iqui-
date the church question. The church
is our greatest enemy. This enemy is
centered in the peasantry and, unless
we liquidate this opposition, we shall
not be able to conquer resistance in
the villages to the establishment of
cooperatives (collectives) and COM
pletion of our socialist program"
Most Catholic Church officials in
Czechoslovakia, representing eight of
the country's twelve millions, have
reafirmed their loyalty to the Arch
bishop and the existing church order.
At Sunday masses throughout the
country, priests read a defiant resolu-

ing him a war monger and an instru-
ment of American aggression.
The newspaper NeueS Deutschland
attacked DR.. Dibelius for a recent
pastoral letter which drew parallel
between the German Communists and
the Nazis, compared the new peoples
police with the Gestapo, and cited
rugged elections and the disappear
ance of tens of thousands of citizens.
Instead of criticizing the Soviets,
the paper said, DR.. Dibelius should at
tack the United States and western
Germany. If he failed to do so he
would prove that che has become an
instrument of American aggression
:. aligned with American imperial
ism against the German nation"
Milford chronicle., 1949-07-29

While Communists behind the Iron
Curtain have threatened to reply with
force to the church order of excom-
munication for Catholic Reds or fell
low-travelers, observers noted an
"outstretched hand" policy develop
ing in countries where the Commu-
nistS are in the minority. Maurice
Thorez, top French Communist who is
believed to have a special pipeline
to the Kremlin, said cautiously: "We
will continue our policy of the hand
extended to the Catholics. We are
sure that the hands that were joined
in the battles of liberation will not
be unclasped."
The Reds have intensified their
fight against religion on other fronts,
however. There were indications that
they may be getting ready to take on
the German Protestants. In Berlin,

CRIME: Vampire or Trial

1t made one Of Britain's grisliest
crime stories in years-the murder
trial of John George Haigh, who was
quoted as having told police that he
killed nine persons, drank some of
their blood and then dissolved their
bodies in bitter, bubbling acid brew.
Haigh, 80, a handsome. smiling,
well-dressed businessman, went on
trial this week for only one of the
killings-the murder last February
of Mrs. Olive Durand-Deacon, go
year-old widow. He pleaded mot
guilty" and his defense attorney read
a statement in which he said Haigh
admitted killing the widow and the
others. The attorney said Haigh was
innocent. however, because he was
insane so as not to be responsible
for the act.
The statement gave a literal blow

ton condemning government attempts
to put the church under its thumb.
Despite Catholic protests, however,
the Reds propose a new law to give
them vastly expanded powers over
religion. They seek authority to re-
ject on political grounds the appoint
ment of any church official. They also
want to control religious education
and the supervision of church prop
critics and finances. Planning to place

tial pensions, and program of life
insurance, disqualification and surgical

all financed by management.
Says Wage Boosts Would Hurt
The big steel companies insist, how
ever, that any wage boosts now would
hurt the national economy. President
Herman w. Steinkraus of the us.
Chamber of Commerce stepped into
the discussion this week with state
ment that prosperity cannot be
coaxed back by forcing higher wages,
and it seems a very poor TIME to put
such an added strain on American
industry"
Steinkraus answered the recent re-
port by Economist Robert Nathan of
the CIO which maintained that most
corporations could increase wages
without increasing prices and should
co so to increase national purchasing
power.
A fourth round of wage boosts
would benefit only some 100000
workers in certain industries, accord
ing to Steinkraus, and would result
in the closing of many plants (which
simply could not afford to pay those
higher wages and keep operating"
Higher wages for few and higher
prices for the rest is not the answer"
ne said His program calls for labor
to forego wage increases and for busi-
ness to cut prices as fast as it pos
sibly can.
Unemployed Listen to Reds
Meanwhile, Emil Rieve, president
of the C1O Textile Workers, said that
during the past few months" many
of the country's unemployed have "at
least given an ear to demagogic ap-
peals of the Communists" Speaking
before a full Employment Confer
ence" of Americans for Democratic
Action, Rieve said:
"You don't have to like Commu-
nism or be sympathetic to it to realize
that so long as unemployment con-
tinues and grows in the United States

Attorney General Sir Hartley
Shawcross had a different explana-
ton. Haigh, he charged, committed
the crimes for money; the stories
about drinking blood, Shawcross said,
merely indicated careful planning for
an insanity plea.
After only Is minutes deliberation,

SIicinq the Dollar

SltClnS me OOlIQC
The British Commonwealth took
steps this week to halt Englands
growing dollar crisis. Meeting in Lon
don, the finance ministers of seven
British dominions and Southern Rho
desia agreed to a reduction of about
25 per cent-or about quarter of
billion dollars-in their annual spend
ing in the western hemisphere.
The United Kingdom already had
announced it would reduce its own
dollar spending by 400 million. With
Australia, New Zealand, India, South
Africa, Pakistan, Ceylon and Canada
extending the move, the total cut will
run to about $650,O00,00O this year.
Canada also will be hit by the reduc-
ton but it approved it nevertheless.
This action was taken after the
chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Stat
ford Cripps, reported that the COM
mon gold and dollar pool from which
commonwealth nations draw their
dollars had fallen to $1,624, 100000.
British Treasury experts regard ST.
000,000,000 as the safe minimum.
After CrippS spends six weeks in a
Swiss hospital for colitis, he is ex-
pected to go to Washington with pro-
posals for either new American
credits or for revaluation of American
gold to provide funds for greater aid
to Europe.
Britain's Deputy Conservative lead
er, Anthony Eden, also believes only
America can solve Britain's money
problems. He told the House of Com
mons the only way to avert recurring
European crises is for the United
States to make its wealth available
to other countries through invest
ments and other schemes in the way
he said Britain did in the 18th Gen.
tury.
ERP for Tito?
The Soviet government newspaper,
IzUeStid, said Premier Marshal Tito of
Yugoslavia has been trying to join
the Marshall Plan. Tito, who was
ousted by the Russian-led Communist
Information Bureau more than a year
ago for "nationalism," was accused Of
trying to lead his country westward
and to make it into colony of the
American imperialists."
IzUeStiG said Italy has worked out
a secret plan for close economic CO.
operation with Tito through which
the YugoSlav hopes to gain the "fac.
tual benefits" of the European Recov
cry Program. IzUeStia also said al

Two medical researchers at the
University of California claim they
have developed quick blood test to
determine the effectiveness of cancer
treatments.
Their new technique, which is said
to cut down the time needed to show
the growth of cancer from the several
years required by present methods to
a day or two, is now being used by
the Birmingham Veterans Administra-
ton Hospital. 1t promptly detects any
change in the patients condition,
showing whether there is speed-up
in the spread of malignancy or sud-
den development of resistance.
The university says that previously
the only way of determining if cancer
treatments were effective was how
long the patient lived after the treat
ment. ''This new check" it says, "may
enable doctors to save many such vic
TINS by catching the malignancy when
it first crops out again, enabling them
to cope with it before it gets out OF
control"
The new procedure was developed
by DR.. P. M. West and Jessamine Hill
lard of the university's medical
school in cooperation with the Bir-
mingham Hospital.
