ident Frank Hull of Huntington
Park, Calf.
Many important problems con-
fronting the trade will be consider
ed at the board sessions and they
hope TO conclude their business
sessions before the opening of the
convention Monday morning, July
3.
AS in former years, a majority
of delegates to this years conven-
ton will make the trip by auto
mobile and will leave over the
weekend for the Ohio city.
168 resolutions are in the print
ed program to be brought to the
floor Of the convention. These re-
solutions have been thoroughly
discussed in local meetings where
delegates have learned the senti-
ment Of the group they represent.
As has been the custom, the con-
vention will open with prayer, fol-
lowed by group singing which has
become very popular for the past
several years. The initial session
will be given almost entirely to
the official welcoming of the dele
gates by the president, the naming
of various committees and the
reading of the officers report by
vice presidents E. L. Wheatley,
Frank Hull and secretary-treasur-
er Chas. F. Jordan.

Local 122 Strikes
Back At League
Supporting Taft

Cambridge, Ohio - President
James M. Duffy was a recent visit
or in our midst on official business
and quite a few of our members
were disappointed because we did
mot call a special meeting. Bro
Duffy handled the problems al
hand in the usual way, diplomatic
ally.
While there was no great deal
of progress made, the issues were
left open for further discussion.
We would greatly appreciate a re-
turn visit from President Duffy to
work out more satisfactory settle
ments, and hope he can time his
visit so that it will fall on the date
of a regular meeting night.
Br. James Coffey made a report
of recent investigation regarding
a letter being circulated by the
Independent Voters League of Ohio
supporting Taft. What the League
circulates regarding their candi-
date Taft is none of our business,
but when the letter issued by the
league lists a member of this local
along with the International Bro
therhood of Operative Potters as
supporting Taft, then it is our
business.
Bro. Coffey contacted the mem-
Der whose name was on the letter
and inquired if he had authorized
the use of the Brotherhood's name
on the circular. Much to Bro. Cof-
fey's surprise, the brother not only
said he did not, but added he was

IOr members OF the Natl0nal Bro
, herhood of Operatiove Potters.
Citing further his appreciation
of the need of importing if we are
to export, President Duffy stress
ed that he did not object to share
of pottery products produced
abroad coming into the American
market, but he did object to the
level of competition from countries,
where workers are paid less, work
longer hours and operate under
less favorable working conditions
than American workmen. Competi-
tion that gets it's advantage from
such sources is unfair, he added,
and the committee should inquire
into this phase of foreign compet-
ition.
The full text of President
Duffy's report follows:
"Mr. Chairman, am President
of the International Brotherhood
of Operative Potters, an affiliate
of the American Federation of
Labor, and speak for the great
majority Of the workers employed
in the pottery industry. This is an
old, established union that has an
excellent record of peaceful -psla-
tions with the employers; and we
are proud of this fact. - - = :
AT the outset I want to express
my appreciation and that Of our
membership for this opportunity
of telling our story to this House
Y labor Committee. We perhaps ap-
breciate more than others how
much the import problem is pro-
blem of employment and wages.
For US the tariff question has no
other meaning. If the level of our
import duties had nothing to do
with our employment, wage levels
'and working conditions we would
have no direct interest in the tariff
issue.
"The connection, however, is
both direct and vital. 1t is, there
fore, most encouraging to have the
Labor Committee look into this
question. In fact, it was about time
that the import problem was con-
sidered from its, bearing on labor
standards and employment. Wei
know of no other economic effects
of dutiable imports that are more
important than their impact upon
the workers.

Catholic TheoIogians
Hear Archbishop on
Security Dangers

An examination of "the new
psychologists and moral response
bility" took up most of the con-
cluding session of the fifth annual
convention of the Catholic Theo-
logical Society here today.
The delegates. theologians from
almost every major Catholic Semi
nary in the United States and
Canada, yesterday heard the Most
Rev. Patrick A. O'Boyle. Arch
bishop of Washington, ascribe
modern evils and national securi-
ty dangers mainly to the per
version of the intellect"
1T is sad and dismaying situ-
ation." Archbishop O'Boyle told
the conference at the Washington
Hotel, that this Nation must
protect itself and justifiably feels
itself threatened by the intellect
uals. by those whom it fo----. - -.
considered the elite guard.
Within the past year those who
have been apprehended and prose-
cuted for the most serious crimes
against our security, which is now
that of Christian civilization, have
been, without exception, persons
endowed with great intellectual
ability and attainments."
Archbishop O'Boyle did not
name any of those whose intel
lectual abilities he said were turned
against this country. But he
added: This trail of treason leads
directly to those institutions of
learning which dissociated all real
knowledge from the course of
truth, God, and to those institu-
tions which disregarded theology
as an outmoded myth or relegated
it to a minor position among
speculative studies"
The Rev. John c. Ford, S. j.,
professor of moral theology at
Weston College, Mass. and also a
professor at Boston College, was
today's principal speaker on the
new psychologists"
Following a discussion session
the society was to hold its annual
business meeting and elect officers.
The Rev. Gerald Kelly. S. j.. of
st. Mary's, Kans., has presided at
the three-day convention.

Potomac River Basin
$4,000 Drainage
Survey Authorized
by Harold B. Rooers

A comprehensive survey Of the
Potomac River drainage basin in
Virginia. Maryland and West Vir-
ginia will be made by the Agri-
culture Department, with a view
to saving soil and preventing river
pollution.
This was assured by action of
the House Public Works Com
mittee yesterday. when it approved
resolution authorizing the sur
vey, to cost about $4,000. The
funds already are available for
the Soil Conservation Service of
the Department from sums pre-
viously appropriated by Congress.
No further legislation is needed.
The house committee authorized
the scientific study Of this basin,
after hearing strong recommended
tions from officials of the Inter-
state Commission on the Potomac
River Basin.
Cotton Tells of Soil Loss.
Edward r. Cotton, director of
the commission, told the COM
mittee everything possible should
be done to clean up pollution in
the Potomac, especially that
caused by mud.
Farm soil washed into the river,
he said, not only is a great loss
to the land, but causes more dam
age to fish and aquatic life in the
stream than sanitary and indus
trial pollution.
The mud load in the Potomac
at Washington last year, for in
stance, he reported, was 1,650,0O0
tons, according to scientific tests
made by Army Corps of Engineers.
This does not include sand and
gravel, he said. which runs to
about 100000 tons additional.
Saving to Filter Plants.
The soil washed down the
Potomac annually. Mr.. Cotton

losing 80 million cubic feet of
top soil from the land. This IS
equivalent, he said, to six inches
of top soil over 1900 acres, or
two square miles of farm land.
If the mud content of the
river could be reduced here to
a reasonable figure" he esti-
mated, there would be a savings of
more than $4,000 a year in oper-
alton of the city filter plants.
Furthermore, it has been es-
timated that 100000 cubic yards
of silt must be removed from the
river in this area every year to
maintain the depth of the ship
channel.
The House Public Works Com
mittee also approved a preliminary
examination by the Corps of En-
gineers of the South Branch of
the Potoamc River to determine
whether better flood control can
be managed in the area. The sum
of $4,000 was recommended for
the survey.

mission. The commission has
arranged for school children
throughout the country to par
ticipate in the contest by initiating
the signature in their home COM
munities. In Washington con-
testants must visit the trailer
booth.
Tickets for the show on the
Monument Grounds, priced at so
cents for adults and Is cents for
children, are on sale at the booth
and several downtown locations
including The Evening Star busi-
ness counter at Eleventh street
and Pennsylvania avenue NV.
The show, entitled The Salute

cert by the combined Army, Navy

quicentennial chorus of 120 voices
and a historical pageant as well

schools into line with the Nations S
growth. The greatest step in that
direction was taken a year ago by
the Senate when it passed by an
overwhelming vote a bill author
izing the expenditure of $500 mil
lion annually to aid the school
systems of all the States, proper
tionately to their needs. This &C
ton was made possible by finding
a formula that eliminated a reli-
gious issue that had stymied all
earlier efforts. 1t permitted a lin
tied amount of Federal assistance
to Catholic parochial schools by
those States whose own laws per-
nit such assistance. This in most
cases is chiefly in transportation,
textbooks and public health serv-
ices.
Didn't Work In House.
The formula did not work, how
ever, in the House. Led by Repre-
sentative Graham A. Barden of
North Carolina, ranking Democrat
in the Education and Labor Com
mittee, adamant opposition to any
aid to the parochial schools de-
veloped. 1t became a bitter
church and state controversy,
with Catholic members as deter
mined as their oponents. None
was more determined than Repre-
sentative John Lesinski of Michi-
gan, the committee chairman. Be-
cause of his feeling that the Cath
olic schools were being discrimi-
mated against in matters that had
less to do with education than
with general community service.
he exercised his commanding posi-
ton to hold up all legislation.
Out of this unhappy stalemate
grew a further compromise pro-
posal. This was a bill restricting
the use of the 5000 million to
teachers salaries, admittedly the
one thing for which the money is
most needed. Nothing would go
for buses or books or visiting doc
tors, dentists and nurses. Still
smarting under what they consid-
cred a gratuitous affront to their

American Legion at Manchester,
N. H., adopted the original pray
ers-for-peace" resolution on Oc-
tober %, 1948, the movement has
grown to vast proportions. without
the help of any national organi-
zation or of financial endow-
ments beyond that which Mr..
L'Heureux' own finances will bear.
The extent to which the move
ment has grown deserves recog-
milton on this Memorial Day
when President Truman again
has called on the American people
to offer prayers for continued
world peace-even if the bene-
fits of that peace are negated by
the constant threat of war.
Summarized Ideas.
Mr.. L'Heureux summarized the
idea of his movement in an ad-
dress April Is this year before the
Department of Virginia, Catholic
War Veterans, at Alexandria. Va.
II speak to you as fellow
veteran and a layman," he said
II am not a preacher, advo-
cate no new dogma. My mes
sage is simple: Prayer. a mini
mum of l minute of prayer, daily
at noon. by every man. woman
and child in the United States
each in his own way. each &C
cording to his own faith, to seek
divine guidance and assistance
in securing world peace"
The simplicity of this idea, it,
all-embracing character, had ar
immediate appeal. Since the
first resolution by the Manchestel
Legion post the following hae
taken similar action by May Is
1850: $50 veterans organization

The issue is posed directly in

bent Senator Johnston is fighting
it out with the Dixiecrat candi-
date. for President, Governor j.
Strom Thurmond. Senator john
ston is anti-civil rights program,
but can generally be induced to
play ball with the administration
and at least is not a Dixiecrat
symbol
The administration eyes Okla
homa wistfully-and silently
where Representative Mike Mon
roney, liberal ace, is trying to
take the nomination from the in
cumbent party hack, Senator FL
mer Thomas. 1t is hoping for the
best in Iowa which for it's money
would be former Undersecretary
of Agriculture Loveland but it
keeps mum.
Because Senator Glen Taylor
of Idaho is an incumbent it has
been possible to slip him some pa
tronage help. Though his will not
be popular victory at the White
House, it was decided that Fair
Deal vote wiped out the Wallace
faint when the alternative was a
reactionary isolationist.
Many Republicans are just as
well satisfied to have Mr.. Truman
in nominal control of Congress un-
til 1852. If the Fair Dealers are
consistently beaten, little Truman
legislation which Senator Taft dis
likes can be passed, but the Presi-
dent must take the rap for the
impasse. This leaves the COP free
to attack in the presidential cam
paign.
The Fair Dealers are wondering
if it would not pay to take some
risks early rather than accept
certain defeats.

Hope Rises for House Action This

church, however, Mr.. Lesinski and
some Of his colleagues remained
reluctant to report out any bill
and the committee has not yet
acted.

But, with only a few months of
the present session remaining, the
pressure to get a bill before the

reported that 13 members of the

ary bill. This, Of course, was be-
fore the sudden death on Saturday
OF Chairman Lesinski. Represent
ative Barden, who is expected to
succeed to the Craftsmanship, has
indicated no disposition under the
circumstances to press the salary
bill to a vote. but the members
now pledged believe he will not
obstruct them in their desire to
let the House have the bill. They
anticipate a cooler atmosphere
within the committee than has
been the case in the past.
They believe the House will pass
the straight salary bill and that
the Senate will accept it as a sub
Stitute for it's own legislation
House members have gone home
in great numbers for their ex-
tended Memorial Day holiday and
many of them are certain to hear

One thing they are likely to learn
is that the teacher shortage, seri-
Gus this year, will be even more
serious next year. Due to poor
pay, high school graduates are
not enrolling in training schools
A national survey shows that not
more than one-fifth of the num-
Der required are preparing to en-

Aims and Purposes.
No more succinct statement oi
the movements aims and pur.
poses could be written than thai
delivered by Mr.. L'Heureux before
the Catholic War Veterans: "Those
of us who initiated this move
ment were actuated by a convic.
ton that each and every person
regardless of his station in life
or his religious belief, can assist
materially, through daily prayer
lin achieving the peace which all
of us desire so ardently. It was
thought that a pause in the midst
of our daily work, at IL O'Clock
noon, is an appropriate time to
marshal the spiritual force OF
our Nation for peace, with the
hope that such a custom might
become universal in effect.
"The establishment of this
practice generally would not only
be a national acknowledgment o1
our dependency upon God, but il
might also be a source of inspir-
alton and encouragement to the
masses of unfortunate people
throughout the world who look
to us for moral leadership, as vel
as for material aid.
THE prayers-for peace move
ment is thoroughly patriotic, con-
sistent with our basic philosophy
of life and with the fundamental
precepts upon which this country
was founded. It is not pacifist ir
character. It is not a substitute
for adequate armament, but an in.
dispensable, spiritual component
of adequate preparedness - ir
fact. properly balanced prepar-
edness.
while our potential enemies
are straining every effort in pre-.
paration for total war, and we il
the United States are. taking nee
essary precautions to meet tht
challenge, why not unite, stimuli
taneously. at least in a national
if not a world wide, mobilization
of daily prayers for divine as
sistance and return to good moral
and true Christian principles
with the hope of dissipating th'
causes for another world con
f1ict? There is hardly a person
who believes in God who. whethe
he goes to church or not, doe
not turn to God for help il
times of peril to himself or to 1
loved one. Since this be tru,
why wait until the eleventh
hour? Why not seek Gods grace
now, before it is too late?"
