A good many of the Catholic
schools in the Diocese of Columbus
have had luncheon programs for
many years. New schools like
Christ the King parish, above, are
now getting under way.
However, il was not until June
4, 1916. when President Harry S.
Truman signed the National School
Lunch Act, that other schools we're
able to afford the wonderful school
luncheon program.
The act provided for variable
aid, depending on conditions, for
schools who provided adequate
lunches for the students.

intercession for the girl anti
Semitic meant encouraging a
deep-rooted hostile attitude.
We are told about two young
Jews who were arrested on the
charge of being Zionists. They
had never heard the term and
Weissberg wanted to explain it to
them, but was advised by Red
Army captain for their good not
to enlighten them, thus keeping
them in ignorance and giving
them a better chance to be freed.
He proved right.
There are scores of other de-
tails about Jews against whom
fantastic charges were made by
Communists in the course of
their campaign to purge every
person under suspicion. Zionists
were regarded as participants In
a ''pro- British imperialist move
ment" and were on the condemn
ed list.
While Weissberg speaks con-
Stantly of being a Jew, it is
doubtful whether he had much
of a Jewish background. He
speaks, for instance, of Talmudic
obstinacy, as if study of the Tai
mud were a criterion for being
obstinate; or: "He was really a
naive man, which is an unusual
thing for a Jew" Which proves
how little Weissberg knows
about Jews-being himself so
naive. But on the question he
treats in 'The Accused he has
acquired authority as a result of
bitter experience.
Among the incidents reported
by the former Austrian Marxist
who escaped death to expose the
Soviet prosecutors is the story of
three different religions who
used a synagogue for religious

Naming names, giving dates,
referring to actual places and
prisons, there is no doubling
Weissberg's story. It is horri-
flying record of an attempt by the
G.P.U. to force confessions out of
a man whom they accused of
counte r-espionage. Weissberg
held out. He refused to sign con-
LESSONS. He was flogged and tor
mented. He lived to tell the tale.
Weissberg, while exposing the
terror of Sovietism, asserts that
there was no anti-Semitism in
the Soviet Union and relates an
interesting incident. He tells of
having interceded in behalf of a
girl who made an anti-Semitic
comment and got her off merely
with a severe rebuke. A Com
munist official called Weissberg
an anti-Semite in spite of his
Jewishness because he felt that

services. The man who told the
story, after being placed in the
same Jail with Weissberg, made
the comment that "Jews are cum
ming" because ''they made us pay
as much as they did" although
Jews used the synagogue twice a
day while Christians utilized it
only once week. Because they

they prayed-and not unlike the
capitalists considered Jews
clever!

Tuck Calls State Meetinq

SOUTH BOSTON. Va, Aug. a.
State Democratic Chairman
William M. Tuck today called q
meeting of the State Central Com
mittee for August %, but said he
didn't think there will be any
real issues involved"
It is up to the State Central
Committee to decide whether the
Democratic convention is to be
reconvened if it feels that the Vir-
ginia party should bypass the
Stevenson :. Sparkman national
Democratic ticket. This course
however. is considered unlikely
since many of the organization
stalwarts have already indorseo
the Chicago nominees.
Mr.. Tuck. who, like Senator
Byrd and Gov. Battle. has not ex-
pressed his sentiments on Gov
Stevenson and Senator Sparkman
said he would rather not speculate
on what the central committee
might do.

IAFL 10 Look Over
| Both Nominees Before
Deciding on lis Stand
By jones Y. Newton
Sior Sfoff Correspondent

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 1.-THE
American Federation of Labor will
look over both presidential candi-
dates before deciding whether to
recommend one to its 8 million
members.
That was the decision here of
the AFL's 15-member Executive
Council. The council voted to in
vite both Gen. Eisenhower and !
Gov. Stevenson to address it's an
nual convention. The convention
opens in New York September Is.
After hearing them speak and con-
sidering other aspects of the CAM
|paign, the council will probably"
recommend one to the voting
membership.
There were high hopes among
federation leaders that both major
candidates would accept the invi-
tation to speak at the convention.
First Invitation.
It was the first time such an
invitation had been extended to
presidential candidates. President
Truman also will be invited to
speak.
1t still was not definite the AFL
would give its blessing to either
candidate. Customarily, the big
labor group does not. They leave
that up to their individual unions.
President William Green had said
he did not believe there would be
a departure from that tradition.
But there was heavy pressure in
the meeting of the Federation's
Political League for an outright
Endorsement of Gov. Stevenson.
Several members of the 3O-man
committee recommended such a
course.
However, on motion of Alex
Rose, president of the Hatters'|
Union. a decision on an indorse-
ment was deferred. to the con-
vention. 1t was decided to have a
look at both presidential and vice
presidential candidates, the party
platforms, and the pronounce
ments of the candidates before de-
Gliding.
Stevenson Favored.
A high official of the AFL said
If any Endorsement is made it will
undoubtedly go to Gov. Stevenson.
He said the Democratic platform
includes the AFL's national pro-
gram in its entirety. On the
other hand, he added, the Repub-
lican platform "offers us not al
crumb Of hope"
The council today turns it's at
tention to international affairs
and the doings of the Interna-
tional Confederation of Free
Trade Unions. The AFL refused
to send delegates to this years
1CFTU meeting in Berlin. They
objected to British domination"
Of the organization. There were
signs the differences were being
ironed out and that the interna-
tional organization would be in
vited to send delegates to the AFL
convention.

Truman Rebuffs FTC
On Proposal 10 Boost
Swiss Watch Tariffs

The White House disclosed to.
day that President Truman ha.
rejected a Federal Tariff Com.
mission recommendation to in.
crease tariffs on imported Swiss
watches.
The rejection was revealed with
the release of letters sent by Mr.
Truman to Chairman George oi
the Senate Finance Committee
and Chairman Doughton Of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee.
Explains His Decision.
"The consequences of imposing
the proposed increase in the
tariff on watches would be sc
serious that such actions should
not be taken in the absence of a
clearly demonstrated need" Mr.
Truman wrote. consequently,
have concluded that I should not
put Into effect the adjustments
recommended by the majority OF
the commission"
The FTC recommended in
creaSeS on the grounds that
American producers of watch
movements are threatened with
serious injury as a result of in
creased imports. The increases
were proposed under the so-called
escape clause" of the Trade
Agreements Extension Act of 1851
providing that restrictions on i'm
ports may be imposed where in
jury threatens a domestic indus
try.
Mr.. Truman's decision sup
ported minority view of the
tariff commission that no serious
injury to American watchmakers
has been shown. ,
Sees Threat to Trade.
Mr.. Truman said the impact
of the proposed tariff increase or
Swiss-American relations would
ne extremely serious" He pointed
out that United States imports
from Switzerland in 1851 totaleo
only $131 million. of which more
than so per cent were watches
He added that tariff action or
watches would strike at Switzer-
lands most important expor,

The President also noted that
Swiss imports from the United
States totaled in 1851 more thar
$2l6 million and that increasing
the duties on Swiss watches
would, in effect, erect "barriers
against our own export markets.

In the ''Teen-Age Club" which

For women who already have
