WASHINGTON. (P)-The left wing united electrical workers, biggest CIO holdout against Taft Hartley act rules, gave in today and filed non-communist oathS from its officers.
 The affidavits are required by the labor law before a union can have access to national labor rela- tions board machinery for such things as collective bargaining elections. They must state that the union officers are not communists and are not sympathetic to com munism.
 The United Electrical workers has been described in hearings of the House un-American activities committee as hotbed of commun- ist activity.
 Officers who submitted the anti Red paths included President AL bert J. Fitzgerald, secretary treasurer Julius Emspak, and di- rector of organization James J. Matles. The ten vice presidents also signed.

Catholic Information Confessions of stupid man

I read the Bible frequently be- cause my Church urges me to do so and because I like to do so. Yet with all my reading l cannot learn, from the inspired words alone, ex actly how God means me to Wor- ship and to live in order to save my soul. But maybe that's because Pm just a stupid man.
 Some people claim that the Scriptures contain all of Gods truths which are made clear to the individual by the Holy Ghost. But this is all beyond my understand ing, for why then is there so much conflict about texts so vital that salvation itself depends upon them? And, being stupid man, l want to be very. very sure about such things.
 Scholars there are who claim to have studied the Bible so long that they have finally reached the con clusion that the sacrad words are not sacred-that there is no Cod or that at least it does not matter much one way or the other.
 I'm rather glad to be dubbed stupid man, for then you see no one expects me to solve the com plexities and seeming contradic- tions of biblical texts-no one asks me to decide which of the disa-

greeing religious leaders is right or wrong or nearly right of mostly wrong-no ane asks my opinion of the atheistic scientist who, in or der to rout out the religious dogma of creative God, must first rout out the scientific dogma of a first cause.
 Yes, I am of simple mind, and so it satisfies me to believe that Christ, who is God, builded Church as He, Himself, stated that He left the Will of His Father with this Church which, under the direction of the Holy Ghost, was to safeguard His Truths for all ages, teach them to the world in all their completeness, and inter- pret them so definitely that they might be acted upon with certain ty by any man.
 Simple? Divinely simple. Stu pid? Some will claim so! But then God knows how stupid all men are. That's why, I think, He made His way so simple, clear, and logi- cal to men who know that they are stupid.

Creation Of Union
With Real Powers
BY the Assoeiofed Press

STRASBOURG. France, Sept.
6.-The Council of Europe's As
sembly voted by a show of hands
yesterday for creation Of a Euro
pean union with definite powers
over the governments of member
countries.
The 12-nation Assembly voted
overwhelmingly for a resolution
declaring the new Council Of
Europe should be expanded into
a genuine federal authority.
The measure now must 60 to
the Ministerial Committee. the
upper house of the Council of
Europe. The Council can only
make recommendations to the
member governments and has no
real power.
The vote came after the AS
sembly had learned that Winston
Churchill, in secret memo
randum in October, 1912, while
Russia was a wartime ally, had
urged the unification of Europe
as barrier against Russian bar
barism."
Details of the powers the pro-
posed Federal authority would
hold were left to be worked out
later.
The resolution was on report
by the General Affairs Committee
calling for real power. The res
olution said the governments
should undertake systematic "in-
struction of the great mass OF the
people, pointing out to them the
undeniable advantages of union
for Europe and, at the same time.
the dangers inherent in national
isolation"
The Assembly also established
a 28-man Steering Committee, or
Little Assembly, under Belgium's
Paul Henri Spaak as chairman to
conducts its business on a perma-
nent year-round basis. It further
voted for a series of resolutions
enlarging its own authority and
approved the economic program it
had adopted point by point over
the week end.
Mr.. Churchill's 1912 memoran-
dunn to the British war cabinet
was read by Harold Macmillan,
British Conservative. In it Mr..
Churchill declared it would be a
"measureless disaster If Russian
barbarism overlaid the culture and
independence of the ancient states
of Europe"

It's a different story to Cooper,
for the Washington battler first

Cooper studied Ortiz's style and
where he first started hoping he
