UN Is Asked
To Recognize
Family Rights
Acute Need For Adequate
Housing Is Stressed By
Catholic Social Worker

UNITED NATIONS - CNC) -
Recognition of family rights in the
proposed Covenant on Human
Rights has been urged here by a
Catholic spokesman.
The economic and social rights
of the human person as such are
likewise his rights in his capacity
and function as a member of a
family, Mrs. AIIys D. Vergara, con-
sultant for the Catholic Interna-
tional for Social Service, told a
meeting of the U.N. Commission
on Human Rights.
Mrs. Vergara stressed particu-
larly the individual right to ade-
quate housing. This right, she said,
"should be explicitly related to the
right of the family, of whatever
size, to housing adapted to the
needs and functions of family life" :"
Shortage Is GIobaI
"This is necessary for both the
physical and moral welfare of the
family" she went on, land we feel
the Commissions explicit recogni-
ton of this fact is of immeasur-
able Importance, especially in view
of the problems which today are
posed almost universally as re-
suit of the lack of adequate hous-
ing"
Mrs. Vergara cited figures from
a U.N. preliminary report on the
world social situation which esti-
mates that 150,000,000 families in
less developed areas need better
housing. The housing deficit in in
dustrially advanced countries is es-
timated at 30,0O0,000 family-dwell-
ing units.
She further expressed the view
that individual rights to adequate
living and health standards
SHOULD also be interpreted as re-
lating to the family unit"
I'VE understand" Mrs. Vergara
concluded, that the state in recog-
nizing these rights in no way as
Sumes the responsibilities of the
family, but is rather making pro-
visions for the securing of such
family rights as could not other
wise be secured, thereby enabling
the family to fulfill its responsi-
bilities as well as its function in
the duties to society, and guaran-
teeing its security as the natural
and best milieu for the normal,
healthy and fruitful development
of the individual"

''This un-American worship oi
the state and this narrow subjec

people initiate what Soviet Russi;

This and That

They grow red in the face and want
to kill the cat.
The honest truth is that these ami
mails have lived so long with mankind
that except for one cat, now and then,
they do not In the least know how to
feed themselves regularly.
That is, nine out of 10 could not take
care of themselves, but would regularly
starve to death.
In the country, certainly. cat would
have q better chance.
Part Of his better chance would be
that he could hunt unobServed, unseen
by these persons who foam at the mouth
every time they see cat do what ma
ture tells it to do.
In the country a cat has chance,
when it comes to finding (catching)
food.
Even there farmers and others find it
best to give them regular rations. even
If no more than supplement OF milk
at milking time.
Interviews with several farmers in
nearby sections show that all Of them
take care Of their cats to this extent.
The farm cat is q necessity. In fact,

that there could not have been any

Every farm has its cats, and they do
real service, and they do 1t mostly
because they are well fed, to begin with.
A little spice of hunger it is true. may
not hurt, in this respect; the slightly
hungry cat may be said to be on its toes.
He is then in no more critical stage
than the sportsman who has gone
without his breakfast to 60 on dove
shoot.
To ask the cat to be a good mouser,
and at the same time to eat nothing
but mice of his own catching, Is to
expect the impossible.
# the farm cat cannot do it, then
how on earth can the cat in store and
home feed itself?
It cannot, as may be seen by the poor,
scrawny, half-starved specimens one
sees in city streets
A cat may supplement his regular
He must be fed, as he has been led to
expect for centuries.
For better or worse cats and dogs have
been teamed up with us so long that
we owe them living. literally. This
is not the same as the state owing
us living. That way lies loss Of free
dom.
When We feed the house cat we in
no sense take away his freedom. He
is still the magnificent animal he al
ways has been. He simply condescends
to eat with us. He Is not q ward, in
any real sense, but q guest for the night

Flubberqusted by Hoover

After reading carefully the six-column
speech Of eX-President Hoover, wherein
he claimed for the Republicans nearly
every piece OF constructive legislation on
the statute books, was f1abbergasted to
note that he claims the establishment of
the Patent Office by the Republican
Party. This just is not so.
The first patent act passed by the
Congress was that of April 10, 1890 when
no Republicans, as such, were around.
A board was established known as the
Patent Commission" or Patent Board {"
The first members were Thomas Jeffer-
son, Secretary of State, Henry Knox,
Secretary of War, and Edmund Ran
dolph, Attorney General. The scientific
brains of the first board were those of
Thomas Jefferson who, we are told, ac-
curately calculated the eclipse of 1778
and was proficient in Greek, Latin
French, Spanish and Italian and had
some knowledge of civil engineering,
physics, mechanics, architecture, meter
ology, anatomy and botany.
Every student of history knows that
as far back as 1923 the name Republican
attached to party which is now the
Democratic Party and from then on
boasts of Jackson, Cleveland, Wilson
and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Early in 1856
the anti-Nebraska men adopted the
name of Republican Party which was
the progenitor of the party of Lincoln
Grant and Theodore Roosevelt.
The later Patent Act became law July
4, 1886 while Martin Van Buren, was
President. and he was no Republican
Now, have not bothered checking all
the other alleged accomplishments of the
Republican Party set forth by Mr..
Hoover. The allegation in the matter of
the Patent Office sufices to constitute
reversible error; and perhaps I would
have not paid too much attention to this
error had some one of less Importance
come from retirement; but Mr.. Hoover
was at one time Secretary of Commerce

This Is, truly, widespread fall

where.
It may have been true In the old
village days that a cat needed not to be
fed.
There was more game then. for one
thing.

The Cry of PLOT

Police Sergeant James G. Beach, found guilty
of misconduct and recommended for dismissal
from the force, says he is the victim of plot
because he testified before Senator Neely's
District Crime Committee. Sergeant Beach did
not name the alleged plotters, but the implica-
tion was that unidentified police officials were
out to get" him because of the nature of his
testimony before the Senate group.
There is not the slightest reason to believe
that this is true. The charges which led to
Sergeant Beachs conviction before police
trial board were based on his conduct as police
officer and there was ample evidence to support
the guilty verdict
1t is true that the sergeant testified before
the Nicely committee. He said that his former
commanding officer, Captain William T. Murphy,
assigned him to School-crossing duty because he
had participated in the arrest of a gambler
without the captains knowledge. Another officer
involved in that arrest, Captain John B. Monroe
was subsequently censured by police board for
some of the testimony he gave to the Nicely
committee. This caused Senator Nicely to charge
unJuStly, that there we're alarming implica-
tionS" in the fact that Captain Monroe had been
censured and to threaten the Police Department
with further Senate investigation.
This may have encouraged Sergeant Beach
to assert that he was being punished not for
misconduct but for his Senate testimony There
Is not shred of evidence to support this, how
ever. Sergeant Beach was transferred from
Captain Murphys precinct at his own request.
He has never been cenSured for the testimony
he gave. The misconduct of which he has been
found guilty, having nothing to do with the
Senate inquiry, justifles the recommendation for
his dismissal Presumably, no one is going to
contend that policeman who testiies before
Senate committee automatically acquires some
special immunity from subsequent disciplinary
action based on his own misconduct YET in the
absence of any proof of plot" that is what
Sergeant Beachs contention comes down to-

Takes Issue With CoIumnist

AS one Of the legion of dissatisfied
Democrats" for Ike, I have been reading
Doris FleesonS supercilious criticisms of
Gen. Eisenhower with a growing sense
of anger. but not until I read her column
on october is was sufficiently angered
to write.
When she, at least by innuendo, ac-
cused the Episcopal churches of Texas
OF trying to influence the voting in that
State by her statement that they have
nucleus Of articulate, influential Demo-
Gratis who have declined to join the
Eisenhower crusade even when snubbed
in their Episcopal churches" my slow
burn erupted into spontaneous combus-
tion.
I happen to be the daughter of an
Episcopal clergyman who died last year
after devoting all his adult life to the
service of that church in rural commune
ties-and, might I add. at salaries so
small that one of Mr. Lewis miners
would have walked out the first Sunday.
This sounds like the old and dis
credited argument that the Episcopal
church Is the church of millionaires; in
the opinion Of many people, the Repub-
llcan Party Is the party of millionaireS:
ergo, in Texas, at least, they have joined
forces. This campaign has degenerated
to low enough level already. Let's leave
religion out of it.
Although it is somewhat belated. may
I offer my congratulations on your edi-
torial of some weeks ago entitled Gen
eral Ike's Jailers"? It was refreshingly
sane commentary on the political reali-
ties of the situation after all the charges
and countercharges Of captivity on both
sides Of the political fence.
May the best man win. Personally,
I hope it's Ike! Mary A. GRAY.

John L. Lewis said on October 9 to
his United Mine Workers, God help
the American people if Taft ever be-
came President Of the United States by
proxy"
Perhaps. this would be the worst thing
that could happen to the desires and
the ambitions Of Lewis who, think,
wants to see all fields, political, eco
nomical. social and educational, even
tually controlled by the powerful roar
ing voice of labor officials.
think If Taft could win by proxy or
any other way it would be the greatest
and most wonderful thing that could
happen to Americans.
If Taft had been the nominee of the
Republican Party there would not be so
many undecided and frustrated voters
today. think the majority of voters
felt Taft provided the dynamic leader
ship and offered solutions to problems
so needed today. But I ask every one
who believed in Taft to vote Republican
because he will be right in there to help
and advise Ike.
