Truman Warns
COP On Public
Health Bills

WASHINGTON Up - The Repub-
ican victory at the polls, President
Truman says, was no mandate to
the government to cut down on its
public health activities.
Truman said President-elect Eli
senhower's administration win find
itself ''far behind the times" if ii
tries to stop what he called the
social and economic progress made
under the Democrats.
And, in defense against what he
termed politically inspired attacks
on his public health program, he
declared that "anyone who inter.
prets the election as a mandate
to stop the efforts we have been
making for social and economic
progress is blind to history"
Truman's defense Of his record,
and call for further government
action in the controversial field Of
public health, came during a
speech delivered last night to the
Association of Military Surgeons.
Truman also raped Congress for
'slost progress" in the health field.
Current shortages Of doctors and
nurses have not been met, he said,
despite repeated efforts to per-
suade the Congress to adopt a pro-
gram of federal aid to medical
education"

Railroads See
Problem With
Freight Loads
BY T. z. APPLEGATE
(For Sam Dawsonl


NEW YORK R-Railroad men
worry whether they'll have enough
cars for all the freight they'll be
asked to haul in the next few
months.
The years peak loading season,
when crops move to market and
materials shippers try to beat the
cold weather, is waning.
But weekly carIoadings still run
ahead of the level a year ago, and
calls by shippers for cars are ex-
pected to stay at high level well
into 1858.
In the face Of this, the railroads
have available fewer serviceable
cars than the total with which
they started the year.
This is partly because the steel
shortage has cut into the produc-
ton of new freight cars. The rail
roads have some $4,000 new cars
on order, but deliveries fell to
3,762 in September and rose only
to S,347 in October.
Roughly third of the cars now
in use are more than Is years old.
These are wearing out faster than
new cars are being built.
So in recent months the rail
roads have been retiring more
over-age cars than they have been
able to replace.
Heavy repairs also put a drain
on the car supply. On Oct. l the
railroads had more than 100000
cars awaiting repairs, against
about $1,000 at the start Of the
year.
Both the new car builders and
the repair shops need steel. de-
livery of which was delayed by
last summers long strike in the
steel mills. Their calls for plates
and structural steel clash with re-
quirements of military production
for the same items, now among
the hardest to get of any steel
products.
The picture isn't all dark, how.
ever.
Steel output is being pushed
along at record pace. with Oc-
tober's $3.50. 900 tons the largest
amount ever made in a single
month. The Defense Transport Ad.
ministration has urged ALLEGATION
Of enough steel to produce $3.50
new freight cars each quarter.
And the new freight cars. when
the railroads get them, carry much
larger loads than the cars they
replace, and with greater efficien-
cy.
No railroad man likes to see a
large car shortage develop. 1t can
mean loss of business to competing
forms Of transport. as well as loss
Of freight revenue which is the
bread.and butter of the railroad
industry.
Income from freight hauling Is

Actors Life Is A Game
OF Chance All The Time
ev BOB THOMAS


HOLLYWOOD R-"The actors
life is a crap game. It's all a
matter of chance whether you
make a mint or end up broke" "
This realistic statement comes
from the distinguished character
actor, Leon Ames. So far the crap
game has paid off for him. But
he has taken steps to safeguard his
future, just in case his luck doesn't
hold out.
Ames is the envy Of his fellow
actors. He has protected himself
against a highly unstable profes-

ments. The most notable of these
is an auto leadership in Studio
City, in the San Fernando Valley
few miles from Hollywood.

tion," the actor remarked modest
| ly. "He handles most of the busi-
ness details. But / help out when
ever can. attend budget meet
ings and so forth. l also sell a lot
of cars to friends"
When AmeS first started the auto
agency five years ago, he was the
most popular man on the MGM
lot. That was at time when new
cars were scarce, and many Of his
| fellow workers badgered him for a
sale. He reports selling 102 cars
to MGM employees.
How did he land the agency?
"Seven years at MGM," he ex-
planned. II admit it: never could
have gotten into business unless /
had been earning that nice salary
for seven years. I'm grateful to

sorry when they didn't want to
sign me again. / don't want any
more 1ong-term studio contracts. "
| Aside from his present dealer

Family Life = Cure
OF Present Evils

The past year, 1851 is still too close TO pass ludg
ment on as whole There are, however many facts
that even now apparent and that the passage of
time will but to emphasize and clarity without
changing IN the main, their broad deneaton.
one of these facts was the rather creepy, uneasy
realization that everything not right at home.
The uncovering of moral corruption in all levels of
society gave and still presents, grave cause for wor-
ry to all thinking men
The corruption OF high government officials, the
dishonesty and chicanery rampant in the field OF
sports. the airing given TO organized crime and
gambling syndcaes and the shocking disclosure
of juvenile delinquency and drug addiction all left
pail rs pungent as sulphur hanging over the ma
tonal scene.
Americans awoke with start al the knowledge
OF this widespread immortality and began to look i'm.
mediatey for the and its cure. They did not
have far TO look for the former. People who could
not define the term morality" began to use il
with great abandon and pointed to its lack the OBJ
vious cause Of the present evils. The cure sadly
and blindiy, Is still being sought by many.
They are the many who are unwilling to admit
that you not have morality divorced from the
knowledge and service OF God. They are those who
would Systematically deny under the guise of
"Amcricanism," the right to teach our children the
bases OF all morality in public schools. They
point TO the but cayil al the cure.
The family is the basic unit OF society and as such
Is the common denominator OF the social structure as
whole. II society in general Is in a bad way IL is
only because families in particular in the same
way. The one Is but the natural reflection Of the
other.
Thus added burden has been placed on the
home-the first and most important guardian and
teacher Of morality-to great extent by the refusal
o some 10 admit The teaching OF God and His Law IN
our public educational system.
The perilous and continuing breakdown of spr-
itual and ethical norms in American family life
Is bringing from Catholics counter movement in
protection and IN public exemplifcaton of the
Church's teachings and laws concerning Sanctty Of
the home The approaching feast of the Holy Family.
which falls next Sunday January l3. calls atten.
tion TO the growth in devotion in recent years to the
blessed household of Nazareth.
The feast Of the Holy Family is Of comparatively
recent origin In 1893 Leo XIII expressed his approx
al Of feast under this title and composed part Of
the Office for the feast himself The feast was vel
coined by succeeding Pontiffs as an efficacious
means of bringing home TO the Christian people the
example Of the Holy Family at Nazareth thereby In

another great effort is at hand to give this demo

Despite repeated warnings of religious and edu

for UNIT, the proponents seem to have "NeverSay-

such training could be arranged through colleges
eliminating the necessity of taking the young

RICHARD P4TTEE
More Priests In Spain

were distributed among artisans.
industrial workers, commercial
employees, etc. In a word, the
notion that in recent times the
nobility has supplied the Span
ish clergy is sheer nonsense. Al
most all those studying for or
ders in 1895 were from the low
er middle and working classes.
The actual figures for Semin-
arians over the years - from the
last period of the monarchy to
the present - are: '27, 1884;
'28, 1921; 80, 1905; "a. 1916;
AS, 14,297; AT, 1887; so, 49,
107; 81, 1886.
The decline during the repub-
lican period and the civil war
was extraordinary. Some dio-
ceses - Huesca, Ciudad Real,
Teruel, Ibiza and others - lost
up to 80 per cent of all seinin-
arians either through the per.
Secution under the republican
government or because of the
war itself. In some cases the
1851 increase over 1890 is enor-
nous. The Madrid diocese, for
example, shows 594 Seminarians
in 1851 as against 293 in 1880.
One of the poorest dioceSes of
the country, Jaen, had 100 sem
inarians in 1880 but now has
298 in the minor and major SEM
inaries. In Malaga, See of the
Dynamic Bishop Angel Herrera,
the number has increased from
191 to 464. In Basque Vitoria,
where there were els seminar
ians in 1880, today's total is
1,081.
Eloquent Testimony
The clergy in Spain shows q
considerable increase over 1886.
The diocesan clergy numbered
$4,000 in 1927; 33,587 in 1888:
29,902 in 1886, the last year of
the republic; in 1899, at the end
Of the civil war, 25,559; and by
1914 had declined to 24,987. In
1850, the situation was materially
improved, with 31,431 members
of the diocesan clergy. Last
year the total number of dioces-
an priests in the peninsula repre-
sented an increase of 1,529 over
1886. A similar situation exists
with reference to the order
clergy, whose numbers were de-
cimated during the civil war.
The great recovery since 1899
is eloquent testimony to the es-
Sential vitality and endurance of
Spanish Catholicism. 1t upholds
the contention that religious life
in Spain has shown an upward
trend. 1t also proves that the
accusation that religion is sheer
external window-dressing does
mot get at the practical truth of
the matter: since the civil war
Spain has staged spiritual re-
naissance of the greatest signific-
ance.

WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, - The world
has Just had warning that the
forces of greed and crime are
corrupting its youth.
Regrettably, it is a warning
which some will receive with a
show of surprise, others with un-
disguised annoyance, and the
majority probably with indiffer-
ence.
On the international scene, ma
tionS are pulling and tugging at
each other, blaring propaganda,
contending for those other, and
weaker, countries that occupy
the middle ground. On the ma
tional scene, political parties are
vying for control of their re-
spective countries, charging de-
falcation in high places, bemoan-
ing the seduction of public Off
cials by criminal elements.
In the midst OF all this, calm
and authoritative voice bids men
to look behind their backs -
their children are being lured
to their destruction. II will do
no good to save the world for
your children, they are remind
ed, if you do not save your child
rem.
The warning came in the mes
sage of comfort which His Holi-
ness Pope Plus XII addressed TO
prisoners lsnguishing in jailS
throughout the world, especially
to those held in dungeons by
communists in enslaved count
ries. The message, broadcast
