Problem Of Refugees
Grows Much Worse,
Catholic Charities Told
Special Dlspo,eh 10 The Ssar


CLEVELAND, Sept. 13 - The
National Conference of Catholic
Charities received a telegraphic
appeal today to ask special emer-
|gency legislation by Congress to
aid the displaced persons in Eu-
rope.
Msgr. Edward E. Swanstrom, of
New York, executive director of
War Relief Services for the Ma
|tional Catholic Welfare Confer
|ence who is presently travelling in
Europe and the Far East said in
his plea to the conference:
"I have just completed visits
to refugee camps in Berlin, Vien-
ma, Salzburg, Munich, Nurem-
burg and Giessen. and was
shocked by the steadily worsen-
ing conditions. I was amazed fat
the constant flow Of new refugees
from Soviet zones, where persecu-
ton increases daily.
when the Displaced Persons
Act ended, it destroyed the last
ray Of hope and resulted in wide
spread despair. Local welfare
agencies cannot possibly cope with
the problem without continued
American assistance"
Appeal for Charity.
Earlier in the day a plea for
greater personal charity was made
by Sister M. Janet of Catholic
University.
She told the 1000 delegates that
"The heart of charity lies in q
lperson-to-person relationship. in
loving and caring for q needy
lneighbor as one would wish to be
cared for himself"
"The public welfare program
has become an essential part of
American life. and a Justly re-
Spected one" she continued. "At
the same time there has been a
decline in a sense Of personal re-
lsponsibility for Christian charity
toward the l1eighbor."
Plea for immigration.

Merger Of Hospitals
Into Center Will Be
Completed This Week

The official merger of Garfield,
Emergency and Episcopal Hos
pitals into the proposed Wash
ington Hospital Center probably
will be completed this week, Gen.
eral Services Administration said
today.
The merger becomes official
with the signing of a contract with
GSA by hospital officials.
GSA said that Emergency and
Garfield had signed the contract
and Episcopal was expected to do
so within a few days. Then GSA
will sign and all will be official.
The Hospital Center will be To-
Gated on AZ acres of land formerly
part of Soldiers Home. The hos
pitals will give up their present
properties in exchange for title
to the new center when it is COM
pleted.
The $25 million Hospital Cen
ter still requires action of Con-
gress. The original authorization
by Congress expires June 80. The i
deadline is expected to be extended
another five years, however.
The House has passed the ex-
tension act. The Senate is ex-
pected to act on it soon.

the country, he said.
The president thinks if teachers
would improve their social and
economic status, they must be
willing to accept more stringent
requirements for entering and re-
naming in the profession. And if
they are to improve their wages
and working conditions, they
must offer a better product.
Considering teachers RESPONSE
bilities to the pupils, the presi-
dent said, "Whateyer else the
teacher does, he must be a living
example of his teaching. He
should undergrad the student with
the psychology Of social move
ment' The student should know
something about the various areas
of life including an appreeiative
understanding of the past of the
race. In short, the president says
the student should know some
thing about everything that in
terests human beings and affects
the life of the modern world
Since efficient communication
is a requisite to good public re-
lations, teachers must help stu
dents to be able to use his mother
tongue with flueney and precisive
to the end that their thoughts will
be conveyed accurately and CO.
herently to others. Excellence in
public relations in America can
never lie this side of excellence
in English composition he stated.
President Alexander mentioned
the fact that the day is just a.
round the corner when there will
be interraeial schools. What has
tended TO delay such a program
is the fact that all people resent
sudden change He said, we want
to follow in an established trail.
It takes, thought. time, and ener-
gy TO establish new trends and
place new ideas into action. Thus,
teachers must live UP to the fact
that public relations are TO work
to the end that people Of the
community and the world will
accept that which is best for
them Teachers must use vari-
Gus public relations media to ac-
complish this end.
The president closed by saying,
There must be a dynamic spirit
OF inspiration whose interest Is
human being who believe firmly
that character development is the
greatest, II not the sole, aim of
education"

Alexander delivered a very in
spring and challenging address
before some thousand Arkansas
Teachers association members al
Dunbar high school last week.
Mentioning the fact that the
United States is faced with vari-
Gus problems despite its tremen-
dous progress during the past
fifty years. the president feels
sure these crises are the concerns
of every Arkansas teacher. To
deal with these problems sue
cessfully, teachers must be con-
cerned with public relations.
Stating that public relations Is
not publicity nor press agency,
nor deception by flattery, nor the
building up of a front. but some
thing shared effectively by two
or more persons or groups, he
stressed the importance OF unity
70 the group: I'VE must unite.
We must create a unified organi-
zation that Is founded on truth
and that has as its chief aim the
education of children, youth. ano
adults of the community. W.
must unite with all professional
organizations. Be ye always re
minded of the fact that unity EN-
braces more than mere teachinl
