All Catholics Must Marry
In Church in Boston Area
by ths Asseeicfsd Press

BOSTON, April ALI Catholic
marriages in the Boston Arch
diocese must be celebrated in q
church beginning next Monday.
Archbishop Richard J. Cushing
laid down the rule last night. He
said Weddings have become mere
social occasions tand men and
women of our day need to be re-
minded of the religious character
Of the marriage contract"
He gave instructions that "all
marriages celebrated by priests in
the archdiocese Of Boston teke
place in the proper church and
not in a private home, rectory or
even sacristy Of the church"
The rule applies even to the
marriage Of a Catholic with one
who is not Of our faith"
Especially in this generation,
said the archbishop, 1T has be-
come important and almost neces-
sary that every marriage be sur
rounded with religious ceremony,
that it be celebrated in a religious
atmosphere Of prayer and in cir
cumstances which recall to
spouses and their friends the fact
that the VOWS are taken in the
presence of God ."

NEW YORK, April John D.
Rockefeller. jr., now rs. says his
lifelong attitude>towa his famed
father was a single desire Ito help
him in every way in my power"
Mr.. Rockefeller told the Cham
ber of Commerce of the State of
New York he was as proud to
shine his fathers shoes as to rep
resent him in any of his vast busi-
ness and philanthropic interests.
He spoke yesterday after the
chamber made him an honorary
member title it has accorded
to only two other men. former
President Hoover and Gen. Eisen-
hover.
Mr.. Rockefeller told the story
Of how he gradually took over di-
rection of the vast Standard Oil
empire and his family's millions.
ITO save you from the garru-
lous ramblings of one in the upper
aged bracket. I have committed to
writing the few words that I am
about to say" Mr.. Rockefeller told
the Chamber gathering.
II was my fathers only son. 1t
had always been taken for granted
that on the completion Of my
education I would 60 into his
Office to help him in his multi
farious affairs.
Feeling that association with
him would be the best possible
training for the task. declined
an invitation to make a trip
around the world following the
completion Of my college course.
and abandoned the thought Of a
year in law school In preparation
for a business life.
Thus it came about on the
first Monday of October, 1897,
having graduated from Brown
University the previous spring I
entered my fathers private Office
at 26 Broadway.
From that time until the day
of his death, my one desire was
to help him in every way in my
power. I was always as glad to
black his shoes, to pack his bag,
to act as. the courier Of family
travels at home or abroad, and on
such trips to write his letters. to
decipher his business cables, to
handle his mail and callers as I
was later to represent him in va
rious Of his interests, business and
philanthropic, and to help initiate
and carry on the several founda-
tions and other eleemosyanry in
stitutions which he brought into
being and heavily endowed"
The son told how his father
kept an almost hands-on policy
toward him-reither pushing him
forward nor holding back. He said:
Neither before I went into his
office nor at any time thereafter
did my father even tell me, either
directly or through his associates,
what I was to do. Left entirely
on my own, I sought as rapidly
as possible, to familiarize myself
with his various interests and to
be, helpful wherever I saw the
opportunity.
He never gave me any author
ity. any power of attorney. or any
title. For years. however. in help
ing, to carry out his plans and
purposes as I understood them, I
signed his name by John D. Rock
efeller, jr..' to countless agree
ments committing him to large
sums of money.

challenged my legal right to do

Atlantic Pact Priority
Stalls Israeli Bid for
HeavyU. 5. Weapons
ey the AssoeIofed Press

An Israeli request for heavy
American weapons was stalled to-
day, repeatedly because it con-
fiicted with a high-priority pro-
gram for rearming Atlantic pact
nations.
officials said the United States
has tentatively turned down the
request for such weapons as artil-
lery and tanks. but may permit the
purchase of light arms and pos
sibly some surplus jet fighters.
The State and Defense Depart
ments were reported to have de-
cided the heavy weapons are more
sorely needed for the 81 billion
program to rearm areas threat
ened by Communist expansion.
Held in No Danger.
In addition, it was felt that
Israel already possesses the strong
est military force in the Middle
East and is in no danger of attack
from its Arab neighbors.
Israel has been buying some
light arms from American COM
panies, for internal use only.
Three months ago the Jewish
state submitted a request for more
powerful weapons, saying they
would not be used for aggressive
purposes.
Before Israel could get permis-
sion to buy even such weapons as
guns, ammunition and half
tracks, officials said, more detailed
information probably would be
needed on the state of its armed
forces.
In the past, Israel has withheld
such data for security reasons.
No Aid Planned for Egypt.
In Cairo last night it was an
nounced that Gen. J. Lawton Col
Inns. United States chief of staff,
had told Egyptian authorities the
United States considers Egypt
secondary defense area which can
expect no direct American mill
tary aid.
Gen. Collins talked yesterday
with the commander in chief of
the Egyptian Army. the Defense
Minister and the Foreign Minister.
He left today for Tripoli, Libya, to
inspect the United State airbase
there.
Egypt and other Arab states
have made no secret of the hope
they might receive United States
military aid as part of the Ameri-
can program to strengthen anti
Communist nations.

Says I949 Fire Losses
Heaviest in Years

Despite the redoubled efforts
of county rural fire fighting
organizations, Montana's rural
fire losses in 1949 were the hea-
West of any recent year, accord
ing to George w. Gustafson,
state coordinator of the Mon
tana Rural Fire Fighters SER
vice.
Fifteen lives and nearly a mil
lion dollars worth of crops,
range grass and farm buildings
were lost in rural fires during
the year, he said. This is the
largest annual loss of lives and
property from farm fires since
the rural fire fighters service
began its repoting system in
1916.
Two-thirds of this loss, or ap-
proXimately $660,000, resulted
from the burning of ITO farm
homes and buildings, Gustaf-
son said, while the remainder
consisted of crops and range
forage. Drought, heat, wind,
lightning and just plain human
carelessneSS combined to make
1949 a disastrous year for rural
fires, he said. finder dry
range grass ignited at the touch
of lightning or burning cigar
ct; stubble burning early in the
year was costly when precau-
tionary measures were not ia
ken; and thousands of acres of
range was burned by fires that
blew out of control.
Yet losses would have been
far higher, Gustafson points
out, had it not been for the
efforts of rural fire fighting or
carnations. All but two coun-
ties in the state had fire fight
ing groups organized under
state law and % counties ap-
propriated $20,335 for rural fire
control work. More than 1000
volunteer fire fighters assisted
in controlling fires, twice the
number reported in any other
year.
GuStafSon closes his report by
urging all rural people in the
state to make greater efforts
this year to prevent fires since
1850 might be a repetition of
1949 should the season be a dry
one.
