Father Cronin Decries
Extreme Manner Of
McCarthy's Attack
BY the Associoted Press

MILWAUKEE,, April Lone
Of the Catholic Church's leading
experts on Communists and COM
munism said today it was "un-
fortunate that Senator McCar-
thy went to such extremes" in
his charges that there are many
card-carrying Communists in the
State Department..
Father John F. Cronin, S. S.,

rector of the Social Action Com
mittee of the National Catholic
Welfare Committee, said by max
ing charges he cant prove" the
Wisconsin Republican has given
the State Department a chance
to vindicate itself.
Father Cronin, who has spent
10 years in compiling a file on
communism for the Catholic
Church, said his investigations
had shown that there is not one
known Communist Party member
in the State Department. He was
in Milwaukee to confer with pub
fishing officials about his new
book, Catholic Social Principles.
IF Senator Mccarthy had
charged that Communist sympa-
thizers and security risks might
be in the State Department, he
would have been able to prove it,"
Father Cronin said.
Father Cronin also criticized
Owen baltimore, whom he de-
scribed as influential in the State
Department, though not an Off
cial of that body. He said MIR.
baltimore sold the State Depart
ment the idea that Chinese Com
munists were not Moscow domin-
ated but were spontaneous, agra

Take Ny Word for 1t
It's Hard to Believe.

I have pointed out here repeatedly
that a living language like English
is in a constant state of change,
and that it is mistake to believe,
as SO many people do, that the
language can be preserved Cor froz-
en between the covers of the die
tionary or the grammar book.
A good way to illustrate this fact
is to consider the change in mean
ing of some of our most familiar
words. Paradise, for example, origi-
nally meant "a park" The word
queen, from the Anglo-Saxon Gwen,
meant "wife, woman" Wench
meant "a child of either SEX"
The Casino at Monte Carlo is the
best known gambling house in the
world. The card game, casino, is
named for the Casino. But casino,
at first, meant "a country house" or
"a pleasure house" Dan Cupid's
first name is not short for Daniel;
it is a middle-English title meaning
master"
The word danger, not so long ago,
meant authority; power; control" !"
Shakespeare used the word in this
meaning in THE Merchant of
Venice: You stand within his
danger (poWer, do you not?"
Buxom, which now means plump
and rosy" originally meant "pliable;
obedient." Puny is the Anglicized
form OF the French puisne, "one
born afterWard; junior"
The primary meaning of the word
speed is Success" This meaning
survives in the word godspeed. The
word imbecile once designated
person so physically weak that he
could walk only with crutches or a
cane. Journey suggests rather pro-
longed travelling. But the word is
from the French journee, "a days
travel; days work"
The word imp once meant "off-
spring; child" In the Beauchamp
Chapel at Warwick, England, an
epitaph dated 1864 reads, Here
resteth the body of the noble Impe
Robert of Dudley, some of Robert
Erie of Lycester."
The word nice originally meant
foolish; ignorant" A pagan, to
begin with, was "a villager; a
peasant" The word silly, originally
spelled seely, meant good; kind;
cheerful" The title of steward
grew out of the middle-English word
stiward, "the warden of the pigs!"
Do you have difficulty in using the
words ''can-could" and "may-might"?

plan which, produced under other
circumstances, would have revived
all the American fears of restric-

5. AS a result of the unfavor-
able reaction throughout the world
and in England itself, some Amer
ican officials believe that the
Attlee government will give some
sign" that it is not dragging its
feet on European integration.
This may come in an early agree
ment on the European Payments
Union to lower the barriers now
halting the free flow of European
currencies; it may be an agree
ment on customs or it may be an
important speech by Attlee. The
British government knows the diff
ference between authorizations for
Marshall Plan and mutual aid ex-
penditures and the actual appro-
priations that Congress must
later approve. Unless there is a
British "sign," those appropria-
tions, so far as the United King
dom is concerned, are In peril.

6. The supra-national authority
being devised to supervise, the
pooled industries and the treaty
being drafted to carry 1t out may
be acceptable to the British when
the Paris Conference ends. Attlee's
main argument against joining
the conference table was that his
government could not be bound
in principle until it knew what
the details would be.
American officials have been as
sured that the proposed pool will
not be a cartel, but that the high
authority will be comparable to
our Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion, which approves or rejects
rates. but does not actually de-
termine investments and wages
There is already talk in Paris OF

could appeal the actions Of the

Immediately after the conference,

to participate later. American Of

are not to be expected from the

they also have the underlying
realism to accept an accomplished

Some Americans officials give
credence to reports starting ir

"agree in principle" on a supra

In addition, little feuding squab-

which 60 on all the time without
drawing special notice, have been
blown up in the press as major in

1t is as though a distinguished

only stir up trouble in one coun-
