The Cardinals Letter

Cardinal Spellman's denunciation of Mrs.
Roosevelt will be received with surprise by
many people.
This is a reaction which has nothing to
do with the merit or lack of merit of the
Barden bill, which, if passed, would exclude
parochial schools from benefits under the
proposed program of Federal aid to educa-
ton. That issue is both delicate and
difficult. 1t is, however, question con-
cerning which honest people will have
honest differences of opinion.
Mrs Roosevelt favors the principle OF
the Barden bill. And in several of her
syndicated columns, particularly the one
published on June %, she set forth her
arguments in, support of her position. The
June % column was temperate in tone,
dealing with the issues as Mrs Roosevelt
sees them. Cardinal Spellman was men
toned by name, but not in way that
seemed calculated to give offenSe.
His reaction, however, has been one of
extreme indignation. The June % column,
and those following it, were denounced in
strong and personalized terms In brief,
the Cardinal accuses Mrs. Roosevelt of
being anti-Catholic herself, of fostering
religious pre]udlce IN the country, and OF
making statements unworthy of an
American mother"
This is deplorable, the more so in view
of the restraint which Mrs. Roosevelt
exercised in her comments. Furthermore,
Cardinal Spellman's criticism of Mrs.
Roosevelt is apt to have the opposite of
Its intended effect. Some Of our people
are prejudiced against Catholics. The
people who harbor prejudice, as we'll as
many who do not, will feel that this out
standing spokesman for the Catholic
church is intolerant of dissenting point
Of view on question that is Of concern
to all of the American people. And that
reaction, in its turn, will tend to increase
rather than diminish the prejudice that
Is still alive in this country.

On Stealing Bibles

On brief stopover here few days ago,
Olof Bjorklund, field secretary of the
Swedish GideonS, raised a fine moral point
that should be of interest to any con-
science-Stricken person who at one time or
another may have stolen Bible from a
hotel room. Mr.. Bjorklund's view is COM
forting. In effect, it holds that in such a
theft the thief and the loot are probably
both blessed. At any rate, as far as the
international Gideon organization is con-
cerned, the thing is forgiven with the hope
that the net result of the pilfering will be
good, not evil.
This presupposes, of course, that the in
dividual involved does not steal the Good
Book just for the sake of stealing. 1t pre-
supposes that while sitting around in his
hotel room at bedtime, perhaps feeling
tired of the worlds tawdriness, he picks up
the Bible, thumbs through 1t, becomes
more interested, and then reacts as though
he had suddenly discovered a great new
source of spiritual refreshment. If such
a man, when he gets ready to check out
and leave for home, takes the book with
him in his luggage, the Gideons do not
condemn him. Without actually condon-
ing his act they are tolerant OF it. It
ought not to happen, but still, when it does
happen, they draw a sharp distinction
between it and ordinary thievery. 1t is
not quite the same as walking off with a
towel or ashtray. 1t gives promise OF en-
riching the mind and heart of the pilferer.
Some of our sterner theologians may
question the soundness of the idea that
it is possible for any moral good to come
of any kind of thievery. Yet though steal
ing is bad per Sc, the Gideons seem to have
a valid point in suggesting that when it
involves the Bible, there is at least fair
chance that its effect will be wholesome.
In any case, as the Book of Proverbs de-
clares, MEN do not despise thief, if he
steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry"
Apparently that is one of the considera-
tions behind Mr. Bjorklunds view.

Sky Atlas

The greatest enterprise in celestial pho
Biography ever attempted is getting started
on Mount Palomar. Scientists of the
California Institute of Technology and the
National Geographic Society are beginning
the compilation of an atlas of the heavens.
This book will require four years of labor
and when completed, will sell for more
than $4,000 copy. 1t is intended to bring
together a series of pictures showing the
skies of the Northern Hemisphere. The
so-called Schmidt 48-inch telescope" will
be used for the survey. 1t will penetrate
about 100000 900 light years. Segments of
the heavens as wide as the diameter of
our moon multiplied by twelve will be
recorded" at time. The net result should
be the most comprehensive visual explora-
ton of infinity achieved by mortal man.
Meanwhile, the famous photographs
made by the late Professor G. W. Ritchey
at the Yerkes and Mount Wilson Observa-
tories nearly half a century ago remain
to be studied Often reproduced in astro-
nomical publications. they still defy anal
ysis and appraisal. Their beauty is ap-
parent to even the most casual observer,
but even professional savants of the highest
eminence concede that they raise more
questions than they answer. A like remark
doubtless can be applied to the task cur
rently being undertaken at Pasadena.
There will be little efficiency in mapping
the cosmos If it does not lead to more
general appreciation of Creation as a
whole.
Take for example Professor Ritchey's
plate g." representing a portion of a
great nebula in the Milky Way in Cygnus:
What does it really show? A square inch
of it contains from thirty to fifty units
rejecting light and maybe as many others
which are dark. Stretching across the
negative from lower left to upper right
there is a bridal veil' of luminosity,
spangled with stars What are these
"elouds"-gas of a sort, flames, swirling
fragments of broken planets slowly grind
ing themselves to dust and powder? No
body knows. Possibly nobody ever can
know.
But it is natural to speculate upon such
a marvellous exhibition of the handiwork
of the Cosmic Architect. The heavenly
phenomena detected by the camera of
Professor Ritchey may be the fruit of an
incredible accident. 1t is within the scope
of the human mind, as the materialists
contend, to imagine universe which had
no maker, a universe which simply hap
pened out of nothing. Yet the questions
still will stand: Whence the nothing?
Whence the accident? In theory, yes;
everything is subject to explanation. The
fact rather is that in an elementary sense,
every aspect of nature from the snowflake
to the tremendous constellation Ursa Major
and beyond!-is a mystery.
So, the new photographs made with the
Schmidt machine are likely to share with
Professor Ritchey's pictures the common
fate of all inquiry. 1t is a SOLDERING expert
ence to look at fraction of the cosmos
and realize that even our doubts are
subject to doubt.

cation policies in the District.
If segregation is regarded as a national
problem for the Congress, the District should
be treated the same way as the whole coun-
try, by comprehensive national legislation,
not by withholding home rule. If it is re-
garded as a local problem, the District
should have the same right as any other
community to decide the issue at its own
polls and in its own way.
co. Home Rule and Efficient Government.
The final argument is that the present
District government is efficient (even though
it has more departments and bureaus than
the Federal Government and that most
popularity elected city governments are
not. Hitler's government was probably ef-
f1cient. Mussolini made the trains run on
time But Americans have always thought
that self-government is more important than
efficient government.
Moreover, no one can say today how eff
.cient the present District government is, or
whether an elected government would be
better or worse.
1t is usually the "outs" who expose the
inef1iciency and corruption of the "ins." In
Washington we have only "ins." No one has
anything to gain by checking them. Until
we have elections we are not likely to learn
whether the "ins" have violated their trust.
Conclusion.
Home Rule will not make Washington into
a Utopia or solve all local problems at once.
But the Kefauver bill provides a workable
structure Of local self-government in keep
ing with the American political philosophy
It's enactment will be of real assistance to
the Congress and to the people of this COM
munity.
