the Federal Reserve Board, the
director of the Budget Bureau
and the chairman of the Civil
Service Commission.
The 82d Congress created the
group and directed it to make q
complete report to the 83d Con-
gress by December 81, 1858. The
committee was directed to make
any recommendations it feels
necessary to improve the Govern
ment's retirement and survivor
ship insurance system.
1t will be the first real Appraisal
of the Governments retirement
system since it was created more
than 80 years ago. It's certain
that many changes will be pro-
posed by the committee and it's
a good bet that Congress viii
adopt many of them.
The civil service retirement
system has always been consid-
cred the best of its kind in the
world. However, number o1
things have happened during the
past few years that has prompted
Congress to call for another look
at the system.
First, while the civil service re-
tirement system undeniably pro-
vides better pension benefits for
employees who spend their working
careers in Government. it falls
considerably short of social Sc
curity benefits in the matter OF
Isurvivorship insurance benefits
for the families of employees who
die before retirement age. Also
short-term employees get better
pensions under social security.
Many Federal employe groups
feel that, since Government career
Iemployes pay 6 per cent of their
salaries for retirement benefits,
compared to ~ per cent for
those covered under social secur-
ity, they are entitled to at least
the same family protection bene-
fits as the others.
In the minds of many of the
younger employees. they are just
as concerned with getting ade-
.quate protection for their fam
lilies, if something happens to
them. as with being assured of a
liberal pension system upon re-
tirement. They feel that, with

so honored was the Marquis de

Revolutionary War.
Popular in U. S.
In 1949 the Gallup Poll
reported that Sister Kenny was
ione of the 10 persons most ad-
mired by the American people
and in 1850 she shared honorS
with Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt as
one of the two women most ad-
mired by the American public, in
a survey conducted by the Ameri-
can Institute of Public Opinion.
Sister Kenny attended Ursula S
College, Queensland. and upon
graduation at Is began planning
for a missionary career in India.
She was diverted from these plans
by discovery of the need her fell
low Australians had for nursing
care.
When she started her work with
crippled children, there were not
enough facilities for the general
practitioners to give much care to
infantile cases. She devoted un-
usual nursing care. 1t was still
contended by some, years later.
that the thorough nursing care
probably was. the main merit of
the. Kenny treatment.
To U. S. in 1910.
= After varying success in Aus
fralia, Sister Kenny went to Eng
land in 1887, when she was pre-
sented to the King and Queen.
A favorable medical report was
made on her work in England
She came to the United States in
1910 and was received at the
Mayo Clinic and at the University
of Minnesota by a number OF
eminent physicians with frankly
open minds. -
The first solid American in
dorsement was a report by men in
the department of orthopedic
surgery of the University of Min
nesota School of Medicine that
the Kenny method would form the
basis of future infantile paralysis
treatment.
Soon after her arrival in Min
neapolis. a ward at the Minneap-
oils General Hospital was set aside
for demonstration of her methods
on acute cases. Within two years.
the ward outgrew its quarters and
the Elizabeth Kenny Institute was
opened. The city, in a move led
by the Mayor, set up the Sister
Kenny Foundation to support the
work.
During World War I, Sister
Kenny served with the Australian
Nurse Corps and was wounded in
France. 1t was after she returned
to Australia following that war
service that she developed a seri-
Gus heart condition. Specialists
urged her to give up all thought
of an active career, but she con-
tinued her work.

Dept. of Defense
Invites Clergymen
To 3-Day Sessions

WASHINGTON-NC) - Nearly
30 clergymen of all faiths will at
tend a three-day 0rientation Con
ference for Religious Leaders at
the Pentagon beginning January
Is. Among them are four Catho-
lie Bishops and a dozen priests.
Defense Secretary Robert A,
Lovett said the conference is to
aquaint the religious leaders with
the status and mission OF the De-
partment of Defense, in view of
the extremely vital part played by
the clergy OF America in our mill
tary establishment and to obtain
the views of the members in this
regard"
The conference will discuss
moral and religious problems of
the military. Speakers will include
the chief of chaplains for each
service. The sessions will close
with a dinner at which President
Truman will be present.

LOS ANGELES - (NC) - The
phrase separation of church and
state" in this country is "misunder-
stood, misapplied and misappro-
priated," Archbishop j. Francis A.
Mcintyre of Los Angeles declared
in a radio address here.
From a study of the writings
of jefferson and Madison and 9th
ers of the period of the Continen-
tai Congress" he said, ''it is OBJ
vious that by separation of church
and state, Jefferson and his fellow
statesmen meant simply and solely
that there should be no establish
ed state religion. That meant
that each citizen should be free
to practice religion as his con-
science dictates; that there would
be no monopoly by any one group"
Currently there is another in
terpretation of the use of this ex-
preston, separation of church and
state" Archbishop Mcintyre said.
1T Is that the government, FEEDER
al, state or local, should be pro-
hibited from extending to religion
the services usually rendered by
government to the individual or
groups of individuals. The ad-
herents of this view would ex-
terminate the idea of the ex-
istence of God or of the sanction
by which evil is punished and good
rewarded. They believe in the
isolation of all things spiritual and
religious. They are real mater
ialists."
The Archbishop said it is the
function of the state to supply to
the people health services, fire pro.
lection, water supply and other
public services. He said when the
state grants transportation for
school children, it should be grant
ed TO all school children, regard
less of whether they attend public
or non-puDllc schools.
''TheSe children should not be
disenfranchised from a state-sup-
piled service because they choose
to attend a so-called religious
school," he said. "Giving a child
a ride on bus cannot /. be con.
Strued as union of church and
state. II is absurd to twist the
mind of Jefferson and the Found
ing Fathers to construe that such
a bus ride would be the establish
ment of a state religion"
He emphasized that the child
and not the church benefits by
such a service.
II might be concluded by follow
ing a false line of reasoning that
a fire department should not at
tempt to quench the flames of a

Reds Fight European Unity
By Pushing AnticIericaIism

/ longer want to have anything to
do with the factiousness and cor
ruption of clerical government, F"
Mr.. Togliatti said in his New
Years message.
Mr.. TogIiatti's remarks have this
new note, Mr.. Alessandrini said.
'1n the face of Europeans fed
eralism or confederalism there is
an effort to introduce in the in
ternational field one of the long
standing elements of the Marxist
method in single countries where
parties of Christian inspiration
have dominant responsibilities or
at least count for something"
The fact that Mr.. Togliatti is
taking the lead in this anti-clerical
campaign, Mr.. Alessandrini stated,
adds weight to widely circulated
rumors that the Italian Red leader
has become the responsible head
of western communism, the COM
informs delegate Gin partibus in
fidelium.
Generally the communists lay
stress on 'lay fronts" to which
they attract people who for one
reason or another are discomfort
with the clergy, the writer ex-
planned. Now because men prom
inent in work for European union
are Christian Democrats, Mr.. Tog-
liatti cries that an international
"clericalism" wants to "consecrate
the return of German militarism. l."
Among the Christian Democrats
prominent in the movement to
unite Europe Mr.. Alessandrini
mentioned Robert Schuman,
French Foreign Minister; Premier
Alcide De Gasperi of Italy, Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer of wes-
tern Germany, and Belgian Fol-
eign Minister Paul Van iceland.
Mr.. Alessandrini also took note
of Togliatti's charges that the
Church authorities had blessed
the most shameful adventures of
Italian imperialism against Spain
and Russia"
Mr.. Alessandrini noted that the
Church had reason to fight COM
munism in the Spanish civil war
because of the many priests and
Bishops killed by the Reds. He
pointed out that the Church never
lent its support to Hitler's aggres-
sion against Russia.
"But Togliatti needs arguments
to support his thesis and when he
doesn't find them he invents
them," Mr.. Alessandrini added.

Book of Bishops Statements
Is Termed Inspiring Record

MILWAUKEE-(NC) - "An in
spring record of Catholic thinking,
writing and leadership during a
dramatic and challenging period
of American history" This is the
description of "Our Bishops Speak"
given by Archbishop Francis P.
Keough of Baltimore in his preface
to the new book, published here
by the Bruce Publishing Company.
The volume is a compilation of
the annual statements and other
pronouncements of the Hierarchy
of the United States and Of the de-
clarations Of the Administrative
Board of the National Catholic We'll
fare Conference. It's editor is the
Very Rev. Raphael M. Huber, o.
r. Nj. Conv., associate professor of
Church history at the Catholic
University of America. Father HUI
Der wrote the foreword and has
provided notes and an index.
All the statements made by the
Bishops or issued in their name by
the N.C.W.C. Administrative Board
since 1919, the year the Conference
was founded, are included in full.
IL is the first time that all the
statements have been brought to-
gether in one volume.
Virtually every national and
world problem that has arisen in
the past 30 years is dealt with by
the Hierarchy in the books 81 doc
uments. They offer, Archbishop
Keough notes, an 'incisive and real
istic analysis of contemporary So
ciety."
Among the events and topics
which the Hierarchy discussed are
social reconstruction, the problems
of international peace following
both world wars, universal disarm-
ament, the depression crisis of the
1905 and unemployment, COM
munism, the right of workers to or
ganize, industrial and social peace,
Federal aid to education, secular
ism, Catholic Action, Christian fam
lily life, the child, and immortality
in public life. The Bishops also re
leased statements condemning such
evils as divorce, birth control, in
decent literature and immoral
films and scored religious persecu-
ton as ii arose in the Soviet I'm
ion, Mexico, Spain and the coun-
tries now under Red domination.
Collection of documents for the
book was begun by the late Arch
bishop John r. McNicholas of Gin
cinnati, former Episcopal Chair
man of the N.C.W.C. Administra-
tive Board. Incapacitated by illness
shortly before his death in 1850,
the Archbishop gave the material
he had gathered to the N.C.W.C.,
which then asked Father Huber to
assume the task of completing the

MUNSAN. Korea-When United
Nations Command delegates asked
about missionaries and other for
eign civilians taken prisoners by
the communists, the North Korean
delegate, Major Gen. lie Sang 10 re-
portedly said that possibly foreign
civilians were taken into custody
during hostilities.
II is a matter of public knowl-
edge that all the missionaries taken
by the communists we're setually
arrested after the fighting ceased
in their areas and North Koreans
had set up their administration.
For instance Bishop Patrick ],
Byrne, MN, Apostolic Delegate to
Korea, was arrested IA days after
Seoul had fallen to the North Kor-
can forces. When Msgr. Thorss
Quinlan, Prefect Apostolic Of Chun.
chon. Columbian Father, was ar
rested in his See city, North Kor-
cans had been in complete posses
sion Of the town for several days.
The Rev. Joseph Cadars of the
Paris Foreign Mission Society, was
arrested at Taeion around August
Is. although the town had been
captured by the communists about
July IS.
In each locality the local inhab,
itants saw the missionaries in Gus
tody.
The published list of prisoners
omits three priests taken prison
ers by the Reds, two of whom, Faith
ers Anthony Collier and Patrick
Reilly. both Columbans, have GER
tainIy been killed A third, Father
Jean Colin, of France, apparently
is believed dead.

be aid to the church and a union
of church and state, Archbishop
Mcintyre declared.
''The logical sequence of such
false reasoning" he said, "leads
to the inevitable conclusion that
religion is not an adjunct of che
common good, but an enemy of
the common good. To restrict
normal and reasonable services of
the state when a church or religion
is involved leads only to the con-
clusion that we are fast becoming
an atheistic state"

Jesuit Priest
Hits Marginal


WASHINGTON-A New Orleans
Jesuit last week coined a new term
for Catholics who let their busi-
ness and social lives smother their
religious sense. They are marginal
parishioners," the Rev. Joseph H.
FIGHTER, ST., told the 18th annual
convention of the American Cath
olic Sociological Society here.
Father FIGHTER said the margin
al parishioner often is heard to OBJ
serve about business, 'We have to
be practical" and that he often
has the business is business atti-
tude."
The m. p. takes the view of de-
mocracy, Father FIGHTER went on,
that it is good and right and all
men should have the benefits of
democracy, but Negroes are not fit
for our parish or neighborhood."
"This conflict" he said, sis an
effort to reconcile contradictions
between our religious principles
and the customary way of life in
another of our circles. In this way
the marginal parishioner lets the
other departments of his life
smother his religious life, which
should be the center of his whole
life.
"And when he has fallen victim
he has to justify it by saying: My
case is different; God understands
that / can't live up to this part of
my religion, and I'm sure He does
not mind"
