NEW ORLEANS, Mar. 6.-Five
Protestant ministers appeared be-
fore a Jewish judge yesterday to
ask that the statue of a Catholic
saint be removed from city prop
erty.
The 6-foot statue of st. Frances
Xavier Cabrini, founder of the
Italian missionary sisters Of the
Sacred Heart, was placed on the
property in August, 1949. It was
paid for by the Order of the Al
hambra, a Catholic organization.
A mandamus suit directed
against Mayor de Lesseps Morrison
and Property Commissioner Wal
ter Dunourc asked for an order re-
quiring the city TO remove the
statue. The five ministers-one
Lutheran, one Presbyterian, one
Methodist and two Baptists-said
they found the statue offensive be-
cause of the tradition "of the sep
aration of Church and State"
The Rev. William Dawson, a
Baptist, said he objected '.as

Miss Hutton S Divorce Suit
May Be Uncontested
BY the Associoted Press

4 CUERNAVACA, Mexico, Mar. 6,
Barbara Hutton's suit for di-
vorce from Prince Igor Toubetzkoy
was on file today with doubt as to
whether it would be contested.
Clerk Francisco Pinzon of Cuer-
navaca's divorce court said no at
torney had appealed on behalf of
the 39-year-old Lithuanian prince
by 6 pm. yesterday. Earlier,
court attendants said the time for
filing objections to the Wool
worth heiress' plea expired then,
but Mr.. Pinzon later said he was
not sure.
The clerk indicated a question
arose late yesterday whether the
three days allotted by law for a
contest began last Friday, the day
the notification was posted, or
Saturday. In the latter case at
torneys for Toubetzkoy had until
6 pm. today to oppose the divorce.
A decision on this point was ex-
pected today.
In Los Angeles the Princes at
torney, Melin Belli. said he would
contest the suit. Dispatches said
MIR. Belli was to be represented by
a Mexico City attorney, Col. Ros-
coe B. Gather. Col. Gathers Of
fice said he was out of the city,
but not in Cuernavaca.

Donohue Backs Foes
Free Speech Right TO
Attack Confirmation

F. Joseph Donohue, the Pres
ident's nominee for District Com
missioner. last night said those
who have been attacking his con-
firmation have right to do SO
in line with the American concept
Of free speech.
He told the Washington Auto
motive Trade Association that. if
he is confirmed as Commissioner
by the Senate, he will be a good
servant of the people of the Dis
trict of Columbia
Mr.. Donohue addressed the
group at a dinner and business
meeting in the Carlton Hotel.
Mr.. Donohue, who still is en-
forcement chief of the Office of
Price Sterilization, urged every
effort to bring about a balance
between prices and wages to pre-
vent economic collapse. Such a
breakdown, he said. is the aim
Of the Communists and would ac-
complish their purpose without
another Korea or China"
He blasted the Communists as
actively planning ito destroy us"
MIR. Donohue also said it was
shocking to think of great po-
litical debate in Congress on
single subject"-whether or not to
send four divisions to bolster the
defense of Western Europe. This,
he said, would be the second
phase in stopping the Western
progress of communism, the first
having been Marshall Plan aid.

Fraternity Repairs
Homes of Needy as
Initiation Prank
By the Asseeiated Press

ITHACA, N. Y. Mar. 6.-Here's S
a new twist in fraternity initia-
tionS.
Alpha Tau Omega at Cornell
University is having pledges repair
the homes of two needy families.
Chapter President James Ack-
erman said:
I'VE thought it was time for us
to think about something con-
structive as an initiation instead
OF wasting it on pranks."
The Ithaca welfare department
provided the names of the two
families and the fraternity put up
$50 for materials. The job will be
completed this week end.

ago, it was hard to get a factory
to take a defense order. Korea
changed that.
But it has changed back again,
they say. The manager Of de-
fense plant in Michigan, making
a critical appliance for airplanes
and submarines, said he couldn' t
get the necessary raw materials,
despite his being armed with Gov
ernment defense orders. He said
his supply sources told him, this
thing may go on for long time
meanwhile, we have to live with
our customers and keep up with
the competition"
Production figures went up in
most factories during the emer-
gency-sttitude periods. In those
same months. disputes between
management and labor dropped
off.
There were some instances
where manufacturer took a de-
fense order on Monday. On Tues
day. he received union request"
for cost-of living increase. There
were reports. too, that some union
leaders discouraged" the incen-
tive system in factories producing
materials for defense. ..
But the record also shows the
many occasions when unions or
dered their members to end a
strike in order to get on with
critical production. The nickel
platers, making plated pipe for
the Atomic Energy Commission,
are one of many examples.
These evidences of attitude
shifted up and down. Public
opinion reacted quickly and faith
fully to events. at home and
abroad, as newspapers reported
them.
Democracy in Action.
Today, labor. industry and Gov
ernment all have complaints
against each other, arising out of
the defense effort That is democ-
racy in action, huge, loose -jointed
and intensely individualistic.
In an explosive emergency-a
Pearl Harbor. for example-these
are all put aside. In less decisive
times, they can become big and
dangerous.
Attitude is a great factor af-
fecting the speed and srlaoothness
of rearming. But it isn't the only
one.
The late Hermann Goering said
when Germany was arming, 1.-The
German people would rather have
guns than butter" American in
dustry believes it can supply both
That obviously takes time and
greatly expanded facilities for pro-
duction. Automobile firms expect
to go on making cars and tanks
simultaneously. They have the
know-how. the experience of the
last war and they believe they
can do it. Factories. generally
are trying hard to handle defense
orders on top of their regular Gus
toner orders.
For that reason. months will
elapse before vast streams of wea-
pons and equipment will rumble
down the assembly lines.
So this is the critical year. The
United States is arming. But
there's = long way to go.

citizen. because of my religious be-
liefs and because the statue is
garbed in the dress of the Roman
Catholic Church." The clergymen
said the inscription made no mem
ton of any good works to explain
why the statue was erected.
Witnesses for the city said that
Mother Cabrini was an interna-
tional figure, well known for her
good deeds to persons of all faiths.
All except two of the witnesses had
been students at a school estab-
lished here by Mother Cabrini:
many remembered her personally.
Argument in the case was post
poned by Judge Louis Yarrut until
