ton: "Atheistic; disbelieving the ex-
istence of God"
An individuals belief and the decreed
"beliefS" of a nation have never hurt
one single human being in all of recorded
history; however, any group whatever
its beliefs. which denies man those free
doms which are so well defined and
protected in our Constitution, is our
enemy and always will be.
Mans inhumanity to man is the curse
OF the world and not mankind's infinite
variety of religious beliefs. Before the
prophets of doom shove us into the
bloodiest kind of war, the so-called Holy
War, let us reflect moment on the fact
that the last 1000 years are red with
the blood of religious wars-not wars
between believers" and atheists" but
between the partisans of different creeds
and dogmas
Our founding fathers were intimately
aware OF the deadly effect of theologlcal
attempts at the control of democratic
processes, and in their infinite wisdom
incorporated in the Constitution their
philosophy OF religion and its relation
to government:
Article VI-3. ". but no religious
test shall ever be required as qualif-
cation to any office or public trust
under the United States
Let us apply the principles of this
article to world affairs before we are
ensnared by pious slogans whose authors
also are "disbelievers' s'-disbelievers in
the separation of church and state, so
well established in the Constitution of
the United States of America.

Bureaucracy Gives Mailman Bockoche
By Steffon Andrews

ME FEDERAL GOVERNMENT Is
l. dumping nearly l million more
pieces of mail daily on harassed tax
payers today than it did in the peak
period two years ago.
Senator Byrd, Democrat. Of Virginia,
who disclosed this startling figure calls
it the biggest waste Of paper, man
power and money ever dreamed up by
an overloaded bureaucracy.
Most mail is in the form of thou
sands of pamphlets, manuals, reports
and brochures that the taxpayers do
not want and do not ask for, but the
Government pours it on them, anyway,
ne pointed out.
Revealing official figures which he
obtained from the Post Office Depart
ment, Senator Byrd said that the Ex-
ecutive Branch of the Government had
delivered an estimated 1,780, ,100, 900
pieces of mail this fiscal year.
That compared with an estimated
peacetme peak load Of 1.471, ,784. $40
pieces two years before-or an increase
of roughly 309.00O.00O in two years
time.
Senator Byrd. leader Of the con-
of the Senate Committee on Nonessential
boxes in which selected samples of this
governmental mail are packed.
His staff was kept busy seven days a
week piling up the stuff for his periodic
inspection. and keeping him posted on
the scores for brochures and booklets
coming IN every day.
Picking out samples Of the kind of
governmental material that is going
through the mail, staff members pointed
to announcements or booklets with such
titles as:
'ECA's Dilemma-Can Elephants and
Water Buffaloes Outwork Machinery"
"Raccoons OF North and Middle Amer
ica-Their Sex Life and Mating Habits"
Unconscious Factors Governing
Courtship and Mate Selection"
why Navajo Indians Chew More
Peyote When They're at Party"
Senator Byrd said that the Govern
ment put out very attractively bound
pamphlet on the work habits Of ele-
plants in Burma, which probably was
of great interest to all those taxpayers
who owned elephants in the United
States
The ECA, among other things, found
that elephants do not like to work in
the hot sun. that in March and April
they should be sent to a rest camp.
and also that In October they should
have a two-week vacation
but what interest is this to tax
payers?" he asked. 1T Is no wonder
that other Senators and I are receiving
numerous complaints about the stuff

The President Revives an Old Issue

The appointment of an Ambassador to the
Vatican, with the anticipated reciprocal gesture
OF conferring ambassadorial status upon the
Apostolic Delegate in Washington, is no more
likely to affect adversely the separation of church
and state as recognized and practiced in this
country than our diplomatic recognition of
Israel. Nor has The Star ever felt that nom
sectarian, community arrangements for religious
instruction of public school children, as now
outlawed by the Supreme Court, would have
worked any actual injury to that principle.
But there are others, whose legal or emo
tlonal opinions command respect who feel very
strongly to the contrary on both questions. 1t
Is In deliberately antagonizing this large body
OF public opinion that Mr.. Truman has revived
dormant issue. Because of the intensity of
feeling it will arouse that issue is likely to over
shadow the beneficial results which the State
Department and the President evidently hoped
to accomplish by appointing General Mark Clark
as Ambassador to Vatican City. The President
has now invited debate which will divide re-
hgiouS groups, an unfortunate development at
any time and especially so in country already
torn by internal dispute over foreign policy. His
timing OF the appointment, on the very day
that the Senate-upon whose advice and con-
sent ne must rely-was adjourning and getting
out OF town, adds the color of clandestine schem-
Ing and thus another note of bitterness.
President Roosevelt had far more popularity
acceptable reasons in 1889, for sending Myron
Iaylor to Rome as his personal representative,
than those mentioned by Mr.. Truman in an
nouncng his appointment of General Clark and
thus formally renewing diplomatic tie with the
vatican which was broken-by congressional ac-
tlon-S3 years ago. The growing Nazi persecu-
ton OF minorities, along with the spread of Ger
man invasion throughout Europe with the aid
and comfort of Italy, made of Vatican City q
tiny island in sea of foes, and highly de-
sirable listening post
But while Mr. Taylor's assignment was always
opposed by Protestant groups, there was degree
OF difference between the studied informality
OF his mission and actual diplomatic recognition
OF the Papal state. This contributed mollify-
ing influence That degree of difference has
now been removed and it will be very difficult
Tor those opposed in principle to such recogni-
ton to understand how Ambassador Clark's new
status will make of him more effective en-
issary than was MIR. Taylor Nothing that this
country could do would make the Vatican any
more opposed to Communism than it is now
And If the difference between anti-Communism
and pro-Communism among Europes masses is
influenced at all by the precise status of our
relationships with Vatican City, that difference
will be hard to discern
MIR. Truman has made a mistake.

Senator Byrd said that this vast out
pouring of useless mail, fancy brochures
and costly publications daily made the
United States Government the biggest
publisher in the world.
For years he has been conducting a
fight to eliminate this great outpouring,
which he calls one of the greatest abuses
in government. but he admitted that so
far he has not stemmed the tide.
What he wanted taxpayers to realize
was that they were not only paying for
the manpower, the paper and the pur-
chase of duplicating equipment but also
the great cost of disseminating the ma
terial through the mail.

GA, 100 checks issued.
I Only 1880 Of these veterans ex-
hausted all of the benefits to which
they were entitled under the re-
adjustment allowance program
which is part of the CT Bill y
Rights.
The amount drawn by Delaware
veterans is less than one sixth Of
the benefit credits allowable To
them under the law.
The commissions report states
This illustrates very dramatical-
" the large-scale cooperation given
by Delaware employers, not only in
rehiring their former employees
who had served in the armed
forces, but in making new iobs
available to young veterans who
had not had previous work experi-
ence. It also points up the willing
ness of Delaware's veterans to
pitch in and go to work.
1T is our considered Judgment
that in Delaware this program
served its intended purpose, to as
sist veterans in making their re-
adjustment to civilian life. Anv
abuses that occurred were few and
IN no way representative Of the
body OF veterans as a whole. In
asmuch as Delaware pioneered with
ITS own State veterans unemplov-
ment compensation program prior
to the enactment of the Federal
law, it is quite fitting that our pre-
eminence in this field was main
tanned"
The readiustment allotments
provided under federal law. were
handled by the commission at the
request of the federal government
The report also noted the growth
in activities Of the Delaware State
Employment Service, which is a di-
vision of the agency. 1t points out
that during the winter of 1949-5O
when industrial and commercial
activities of the country were at
their lowest since the period imme-
dlately after rehabilitation. the
number of placements in industry
made by our agency continued to
grow. This indicates that Bv salts

more and more of the job-flline
