To Tackle Local Subjects
BY The Assoeiutsd Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Amer-
ican editorial writer's, meeting to-
day in q conference at Columbia
University. were urged to recap
ture public interest by tackling
local subjects.
The advice came from Morris
Ernst. attorney and author. who
addressed the group here yester-
day.
Mr.. Ernst said lack Of vitality
on the editorial page has come
from the rise of the syndicated
columnist and public cynicism
toward newspapers views.
He added that it was often
easier to write about Marshal
Tito's troubles with Stain than
about the head Of the local school
board" and pleaded for more
courage on local issues"

Bridges Has Trouble
Quitting as Trustee
Of Coal Welfare Fund

Senator Bridges, Republican, Of
New Hampshire said today that
he is having difficulty dropping
the job Of trustee for the United
Mine Workers Welfare and Re-
tirement Fund.
In fact. the Senator, who an
nounced in August that he in
tended to quit the three-man
board, said it may take a court
order or a new coal contract to
get him out of Office.
"You just can't walk out on this
job" he said. you've got to have
an independent audit made Of the
welfare fund, plus a release Of per-
sonal responsibility, or the coal
operators and the miners have to
agree on a new set of trustees"
An end of the soft coal strike
and agreement on a new contract
probably would give Senator
Bridges the chance to resign al
neutral" trustee of the fund. He
was drawing $35. 900 q year for the
job, but decided to forego further
pay checks some time ago.
Meanwhile, the operators were
said to have decided on Charles
II. Dawson. Louisville attorney, as
their new trustee to replace Ezra
Van Horn of Cleveland on the
fund board. Mr.. Dawson is a for
mer judge. Mr.. Van Horn re-
signed last month, but is continu-
ing to serve until a replacement is
formally named John L. Lewis is
the third trustee.
The UNIV fund now has about
$12, 1000. 900 in the bank, an amount
which is considered insufficient to
permit full operation since be-
cause of the strike no 20-cents-
per-ton payments are coming in.

net posts threatened today to
block formation of new French

Stocks Quiet in Rut
AS Traders Await
|Acfion on Strikes
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Oct. 22.-The
stock market logged along a mar
row price path today.
Caution was the dominating
factor. With the steel and coal
strikes Gripping the economy a
little more each day and with the
possibility that the President might
take action over the week end,
traders were in no mood to get out
on a limb.
The result was a collection of
insignificant price changes. Gains
and losses were well scrambled,
most of them in minor fractions.
A wide variety of stocks were
either ignored or remained at Fri
days closing levels.
Business turned out to be skimpy
after an overnight batch of orders
was disposed of at the opening
Turnover slowed to a rate Of only
350,000 shares for the two-hour
session.
A major exception to the pre-
vailing narrowness was Douglas
Aircraft, which rose a point to "a
at one time, the years top price.
The issue has been a heavy ia
vorite this week, largely because
of a special dividend and an ex-
cellent earnings report.

Liberal immigration
Policy Urged by Pope
To Congress Group
BY the Associated Press

CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy,
Oct. 22.-Pope Plus XII asked a
group of American Congressman
today to consider whether the i'm
migration policy of the United
States is as liberal as it could be.
The Pontiff, who received the
congressman at his summer resi-
dence here. said:
"We dare say the further ques-
ton has risen more than once in
your minds, if not to your lips:
Is the present immigration policy
as liberal as the natural resources
permit in a country so lavishly
blessed by the Creator and as the
challenging needs of other coun-
tries would seem to demand? Your
travels no doubt will afford much
data for the answer to that Ques-
tion."
Contributions Recognized.
The Pope told the group
members of a House committee
touring Europe to study American
representation in United Nations
agencies-that American gener-
osity has made bounteous contri-
buttons to various international
organs of relief"
"You do WE'LL" he added, "to ex-
anime with what success this re-
lief has been and Is being brought
to those who are really most in
need.
1.-THE tasking of attempting to
bring peace and decent prosperity
to the stricken peoples of the
world is gigantic one." the Pope
said.
But, he told the Congressman,
quoting Matthew (x42 and xv.40 i,
LET all who are working so un-
selflshly toward that goal remem-
ber the Divine Master has said,
If a man gives so much as a drink
of cold water to one of the least of
these He shall not miss his
reward and when you did it to
one of the least of my brethren
you did it to me-"
Voices Deep Concern.
The Pontiff said his concern "is
deep and constant for the pitiful
plight of vast populations that the
ruthless tide of wars heartless
aftermath has uprooted and left
scattered on the continents of Eu-
rope and ASIA"
Here, said the Pope, the future
holds out to them "a drab, uncer-
tain. disheartening existence"
The pontiff told his listeners he
was confident that with. Gods
help and inspiration the efforts
of $50 many men whose hearts
are filled with human sympathy
and human love will bear increas-
ing fruit"
Members of the group received
by the Pope were Representatives
