Sherman Confirmation
Likely Today After
New Mccarthy Blast
By John A. Giles

The nomination of Admiral For
rest P. Sherman as Chief of Naval
Operations appeared headed for
approval in the Senate today.
Confirmation of the admiral
unanimously recommended late
yesterday by the Senate Armed
Services Committee, was expected
before nightfall but not until after
Senator Mccarthy, Republican of
Wisconsin, gets off one more blast
against Pentagon unification
policies.
Senator Mccarthy yesterday
blocked the unanimous consent
asked by Chairman Tydings of
the committee FOR immediate con-
sideration of Admiral Sherman's
appointment.
Wanted to Read Report.
The Wisconsin Senator said that
he wanted an opportunity to read
the committees report and that
he then would speak on the "un-
usual circumstances" under which
Admiral Louis E. Denfeld was fired
from the post Admiral Sherman is
taking over.
He said that he saw danger
ous' trend by the brass in the
Pentagon" in usurping congress
sional prerogativeS. He said that
he did not oppose the appointment
of Admiral Sherman but objected
because he had something to
say about protecting congressional
witnesses from punishment for
telling the truth"
Admiral Denfeld was ousted as
operations chief last October after
he had joined other officers in
criticizing administration unifica-
ton policies. His removal brought
charges of reprisal from Senator
Mccarthy and others.
Navy Secretary Matthews told
the Senate committee yesterday
that he was solely responsible for
the removal of Admiral Denfeld,
for whom he expressed the highest
regard.
However, he made it clear that
there was no room on his team
for men who disagreed with his
policies. He added, though, that
he considers it the duty of Navy
officers to testify frankly when
asked for opinions by Congress.
But when opinions expressed by
IAN officer high in the chain of
command" are at variance with
policies laid down by the civilian
chiefs, then that officer should be
not denoted in rank or punished
but transferred to another post,
he said.
Changed Opinion.
Il could not have administered
the Navy with Admiral Denfeld
as chief of naval val~operations," he
declared. He added that he
changed his opinion of the ad-
miral before the Iatter's testimony
to the House Armed Services Com
mittee late year, and that he had
expressed that opinion orally.

Fire Bomb FIops
Test as Farmers
Watch Barn Burn
BY the Associated Press

DILLON, S. c., Jan. 13.-The
group of eager farmers was gath
cred about the salesman in L. B.
Rogers tobacco barn. He was
there to demonstrate his fire ex-
tinguisher bombs, especially de-
signed for barns such as this one.
The bombs were precisely sus-
pended from the rafters. Then
piles of dry hay and tobacco were
heaped upon the floor. A match
was applied. You see. the heat
from the fire is to set off the
bombs and they, in turn, release
chemicals which extinguish the
fire. That's the way they work.
But the bombs didn't go off.
The fire grew bigger and bigger
Finally the barn burned down.

Liquor Trade Replies
To Attack by 'Drys' at
Hearings on Ad Ban
By Chris Mothisen

The alcoholic beverage industry
got its chance today to reply to
charges of the "drys" that it's ad-
vertising is misleading and de-
moraliZing and should be out
laWed.
The opportunity came during
the second day of hearings before
the Senate Commerce Committee
on a bill sponsored by Senator
LANCER, Republican. of North
Dakota, which would prohibit the
advertising of alcoholic beverages
in interstate commerce.
Emil J. Soucy, secretary of the
New Hampshire Wholesale Bev-
erage Association, first opponent
of the bill to take the witness
chair insisted that return OF
national prohibition was the even
tual goal of advocates of the
LANCER measure.
Calls Bill "Ruinous."
Mr.. Soucy said the State OF
New Hampshire has a law re-
stricting alcoholic beverage adver-
tising and felt sure it had the
right to bar Objectionable ads
from out of. the State. But, he
added, the people of New Hamp-
shire have not believed it neces-
sary to take such action.
Edward L. Flanagan, treasurer
of the Globe Brewing Co. of Balti-
more, said the bill, if enacted,
would be absolutely ruinous as
far as the brewing industry in the
State of Maryland is concerned. F."
He noted the measure would
outlaw radio and television ad-
vertising of all alcoholic beverages.
(The principal networks and most
individual stations now refuse
liquor advertising but accept beer
and wine commercialsD
Both radio and television have
become very important media as
far as our industry is concerned
Mr.. Flanagan said, "and we feel
that the type program which we
are making available to the public
is not only benefiting ourselves
when we use radio and television
to advertise our product, but it is
also providing the public with a
wholesome form of entertain
ment."
Cites Low Pressure" Ads.
Ellis D. Slater, president of the
Frankfort Distillers' Corp, said
the liquor industry restricts itself
to ''low pressure" advertising.
Appearing for the Distilled Spirits
Institute and the Kentucky Dis
tillers' Association, Mr.. Slater pre-
sented charts he said established
that liquor advertising wasn't
persuading the public to drink
more. inasmuch as the per capita
consumption has declined in the
United States despite increasing
advertising budgets.
The industry counsels modera-
ton, Mr.. Slater continued, and,
in general, does not use the well
known, time proved advertising
devices that win new customers
and increase consumption for
other industries"
He exhibited to the committee

NEW YORK, Mar. 8.-An aide
of Francis Cardinal Spellman
says the issues have been mis-
represented and obscured by
critics of the Roman Catholic
Church's position on Federal aid
to education.
The church's stand on the
question was defended in a
statement yesterday by Msgr
John S. Middleton. New York
archdiocesan secretary for educa-
ton.
/ He said the church wants only
it's just due for parochial schools,
and is opposed to any form of
Federal aid legislation that would
be discriminatory, divisive and
unjust"
The monsignor spoke in the alb
sence of Cardinal Spellman. head
of the archdiocese. who is in
Rome on a Holy Year pilgrimage.
Replies to Barden.
Msgr. Middleton'S statement
was in answer to criticism of the
church and Cardinal Spellman by
Representative Barden, Democrat,
of North Carolina, and others.
Mr.. Barden, reviving the contro-
versy over whether parochial
schools should receive Federal
education funds, said here on
Monday that the Roman Catholic
Church was to blame for the de-
feat so far of proposals for Federal
education aid.

House Group 10 Vote
On New Curbs on Aid
To Non-PubIic Schools

Fe deral aid to education
bumped squarely up against the
religious question again today in
Congress.
The House Labor Committee,
which refused yesterday to ap-
prove Federal funds for parochial
school transportation services, to-
day came up to the larger prob
lem of erecting specific bans
against any type Of Federal aid
for non-public schools.
Whatever the vote, it appeared
likely only to widen the split now
blocking action on the $500 mil
lion school aid bill.
The measure already has passed
the Senate, but without the con-
troyersial House features. The
Senate-passed bill does not direct
how the States may spend aid
funds, leaving it up to them to
d e mine whether parochial
schools get a share.
Kennedy Proposal Rejected.
Yesterdays committee action on
parochial school bus service was
the first test vote since the COM
mittee began closed-door consid-
Grafton of the Senate Bill q
month ago.
BY a vote of 16 to 9 it rejected
a proposal by Representative Ken
nedy, Democrat, OF Massachusetts,
to require the commissioner of
education to withhold a percent
age of the aid money from those
States prohibiting its use for pri-
vate schools. The withheld funds
would then be paid directly to the
contractor furnishing bus service
to parochial pupils.
Representative Jacobs, Demo-
crat, of Indiana, q Catholic. is
author of the proposal to go fur
ther and erect specific bars
against use of Federal money for
any purpose not intended for
public unsupported schools
alone.
Participation in any Federal as
sistance program has been de-
manded by Catholic Church lead
ers. 1t has been just as vigorously
opposed by those who contend it
would violate the principle of
separation of church and state.
Action Held Unlikely.
If Mr.. Jacobs amendment is
adopted, Representative Powell,
Democrat, of New York predicted
any hope of a school aid bill sis
lost"
Pro-Catholic committee mem
bers, Mr.. Powell said, would be
certain to vote against any bill
Incorporating such a ban against
parochial school participation.
Mr.. Powell is Negro Baptist
minister.
With Federal aid seemingly
hard aground, lawmakers were
pessimistic of chances of ref1oat-
ing it in time for action at this
session.
Representative Lucas, Demo
crat, of Texas, a committee men,
Der, commented:
Il hate to be discouraging, but
I feel a bill would be so filled with
controversy that the leadership
would not even permit it to come
to the floor if it were voted out
of committee"
Mr.. Lucas, as we'll as some other
members, thought the committee
should turn to legislation provid-
ing only for construction of new
schoolhouses - dropping entirely
other controversial forms of as
sistance.
Evening star., 1950-03-08

that would limit Federal aid TO
public schools only, said Cardinal
Spellman had spoken as a "cruei
authoritarian" on the subject.
Msgr. Middleton leveled his
statement at Mr.. Barden and
other speakers who on Monday
addressed conference on the
Committee on Federal Aid to Pub
lie Education, a National citizens
group.
The churchman said the speak
ers had engaged Sin rhetorical
barrage" and had further OBJ
scured the Federal aid issue in
America" He charged they had
"misrepresented the position of
the Roman Catholic hierarchy, in
general and Cardinal Spellman in
particular"
Auxiliary Services Asked.
Restating Cardinal Spellman's
position, Msgr. Middleton said the
Catholic Church does not seek
public funds for general support
of parochial schools. He said it
wants no public money for teach
ers' pay, maintenance, building re-
pair or construction.
The cardinals contention, the
monsignor said, is that parochial
schools-as much as public schools
are entitled to Government
funds for support of such auxil-
larry services as bus transporta-
tion.
Msgr. Middleton said that pro-
viding such transportation would
not be the support of special ed
ucation," as critics had implied.
The churchman declared:

ITHACA, N. Y, Sept. 16.-Cor-
nell University today cleared John
E. Marqusee, 22-year-old senior,

ing of the World Student Con-
gresS in Prague last month and
was quoted as having called for
