have gone up steadily, until today
the BIS rent index for Blrnlng-
ham is 205.4.
In contrast is New York City
where the BIS rent index stands
at 1887. Incidentally, New York
has a state rent control law thus
New York state tenants have nc
fears of increases resulting from
the new federal law.
Evidence of what lies ahead for
tenants in decontrolled areas
comes not only from the record
of what took place in other cities,
but from the real estate lobby it.
self.
Testifying before Congress, Leo
Goodman, director of the CIO Ma
tional Housing Committee, re-
vealed the intent of the real es-
tate interests was to peg rents at
from 35 to so per cent of ten
ants monthly income during pc
riods of housing shortages.
Goodman quoted from the stan
dard textbook of the National AS
sociation of Real Estate Boards
and backed up his quote with doc
umentary evidence. The congress
men expressed amazement. But
Congress voted to give the land
lords a blank check for rent in
creases.
But the landlords can be
stopped. Already, in a number OF
major communities, they have
been stopped through drives to
salvage rent controls and thus pro
vide city dwellers with some bull
wark against the flood tides of in
flation
There are two methods by
which controls can be salvaged.
First is to institute a campaign
to get the community declared {
! critical housing" area.
The other is campaign to get
the local government body to re
Guest continuation of rent control
While more red tape surrounds
the campaign to win a "critica
housing area" designation, it was
more effective and more lasting.
CIO campaigned for special leg
islation for critical housing areas
to protect workers in communi
ties where sharp increase in de
fenSe work meant an influx o.
new workers.
But for all areas where hous
ing shortage continues and where
tenants would be hard hit by ,ht
lifting of controls, action by tn.
local government will protec
tenants at least until next Apri
30.
A simple resolution by a cit.
council, testifying that housing
shortage still exists and request
ing continuation of federal con
trolls, will do the trick.
A city council could also cal
for a local referendum on contin
uation of controls, a method tn
real estate lobby would undoubt
edly fight vigorously.
The record shows that in ever
industrial community where tk
voters have had a chance to ey
press an opinion on contiruatio!
of controls, the vote has beer
overwhelmingly in favor Of thi
protection for tenants.
Only in a handful of resor
communities, where summer Wis
itors pay the freight, have tn
people voted to end controls.
Goodman pledged the full COOP
Grafton and technical assistance o
the CIO Housing Committee, t,
any local CIO council taking VI
the fight against the real estat
interests.
In most communities, the onl.
group standing between tenant
and wholesale gouging by prof
it-happy landlords is the local CI(
council.

A Man For Our Times

The herald of the annual celebration of Catholic
Press month during February is the feast of st.
Francis de Sales Jan. %. This is altogether fitting
when we recall that this great Saint is known and
invoked as the Patron of the Catholic Press.
At first glance there might be some question as
to why this particular Saint was chosen to be the
patron and guardian of our press. ST. Francis was
not newspsperman in the accepted sense of the
term today Or at least, he would not conform to
secular definition of "newsman
Francis dc Sales was nobleman by birth and,
before he was ordained lawyer by training. He
established no press, periodical or news bull
letin that would seem to justify his choice as
Patron of our press
This reason for his choice becomes readily ap-
parent, through, when stop to realize that he
was chosen patron not of the press but of the Cath
olic press.
The times of St Francis viewed in the light of
the difficulties he faced and in the method he used
10 overcome these difficulties bear remarkable
resemblance to the present day The difficulties and
the method that must be used If they are to be over
come, are the same.
When St Francis was consecrated Bishop OF Ge-
neva he was faced with the task of recalling to the
Faith many who had fallen away, of correcting the
social errors which inevitably follow detection, and
of rekndling the fery love of God and His Church
in the hearts of his flock
over and above the ordinary duty of news pre-
senaton is the primary aim OF the Catholic press 10
teach to correct and to inspire the hearts of men
The disenobng secularism, already rampant IN the
time of ST. Francis de Sales flourshes today-an un-
healthy, immoral un-Chrisuan atmosphere Which
kills mems souls.
We have all three ST. Francis de Sales who, by the
holiness of his life and the power Of his writings re.
mains today as the example and champion oil the
ideals of the Catholic press.

Many Americans have always prded themselves
on their broadmndedness Just what they have
meant by the term Is another matter But for most IL
has meant their spirit OF tolerance, particularly
about various religious bodies Too many have been
led BY this broad tolerant way OF looking at things
TO say that religion is as good as another Now
this Catholics may not say. Nevertheless, they can
be and most tolerant Of other religoniss.
II is a definite bloeh on this shining escutcheon
Of American tolerance that General Mark Clark has
declined the appointment representative OF Amer
ica at the Vatican because Of the controversy arous.
ed And that controversy has been entirely on the
part OF protestsntS But far be learned there
have been Catholics taking up the challenge in
favor OF sending ambassador 10 the Vatican In
most instances Catholics have merely explained
their position have been forced TO answer the
many outrageous attacks made upon them and their
Church by people who have used the appointment
OF an ambassador as springboard
BY this time II should be made known that many
other nations OF the world have official representa-
tives at the Vatican great many of them are de.
ededlv Protestant countries. The facts are that
there has been violation OF the overworked prin-
cipe of separation of Church and State in ahy of
those countries. Even in Catholic countries there
has been no thought Of The relationship with the
Vatican having anything at all to do with esscnine

Hitting The Nail
On The Head

An important fact TO be kept in nlnd when read
ing reports Of Paul Blanshards vicious attacks
the Catholic Church is that he is not an official
spokesman for any particular Protestant church
and that he does not necessarily speak the mind of
Protestants in general
Many Protestant leaders, both laymen and clergy
alike decry Blanshard and his bigotry begetting
speeches A most recent example of this is the
speech given in Minneapolis last week by Henry r.
Luce, editor-in-chief of Time Life and Fortune
magazines, himself loyal Protestant
Says Mr.. Luce: 'Mr. Blanshard while appearing
TO be concerned for Professionalism, and while pro-
noting his books through Professionalism, does not
show any real interest in any form of Christianity
Now il Mr. Blanshard would frankly declared him
self to be secularist void of all interest IN the
supernatural then he could come into court as re
spectacle witness to secular anticercal point OF
view"
Noting that the principal problem of Protestant
ism is secuarism something that has been discussed
st length in many Protestant councils, Mr. Luce de-
clsred:
American seculsrism is still deeply coIored by
Protestant idealism and includes respect for re-
ligon. however vague, and kind of affection for
IT, And Professionalism finds II extremely difficult
TO cope with this secularism because it has been so
involved with its development"
Mr. Luce accuses Paul Blanshard of promoting
Just this precise secularism.
An example of this secularist spirit IN Prot
estansm is had in the field of education states Mr.
Luce Take for example the matter OF education
When religious education hits the newspapers, IT is
as Catholic problem But, as matter of fact, re
Iieious education is today far more seriously
Protestant problem than Catholic one After all
the Catholics have their schoos-they pay extra for
them The Protestants don't pay extra-and they
don't have any schools-none that is, where their
children may get good grounding in the Bible and
pursue their other studies in Protestant Christian
atmosphere" aLa-
More widely divergent views could not be had
than these statements of Mr. Luce and those OF Paul
Blansh&rd

Destruction OF Lithuania

Lithuanis is a nation of large
families which means a pro
found family tradition and strong
family ties" said Mr.. Simutis.
THE Soviets are trying to de-
stroy the Lithuanian family as
the foundation of the Lithuanian
nation"
He related how thousands of
families are being broken up and
shipped to Siberia in crowded
cattle cars, much as animals.
Siberia is full of orphans of
living parents and of widows of
living husbands" he said. Life
expectancy in the salt mines and
in the compulsory settlements is
approximately two years"
There, in Soviet hands, the vie
Tins have no food, no adequate
shelter, no medical care. Mr.. ST.
NUTS cited letter from a Lith-
uanian family in Siberia which
tells the horrible story of a
Lithuanian child collecting para
sites from her body and eating
them"
Mr.. Simutis said about 20 per
cent of the deportees died in
their first year of Siberian exile.

permits him freely to choose his
representatives in industry !"
Not Foreign 10 Ministry
In the light of these official
documents and others with
which Catholic critics of union
ism are no doubt familiar, it can
only be concluded that the clergy
of the United States would be
remiss in their duty and disobed-
lent to the clear directives of
their religious superiors if they
were to do anything other than
advocate the organization of the
unorganized, including the un-
organized agricultural workers
of the United States.
The fact that some labor lead
ers are less than perfect does
not relieve the clergy of their
responsibility TO encourage the
organization of labor. 1t merely
burdens the clergy with the ad-
ditional responsibility of encour-
aging the working rank-and-file
to assume greater responsibility
for the conduct OF their unions
to make sure that their elected
representatives are men of honor
and integrity.
We hasten to add, in this con-
nection, that some of the labor
leaders so violently condemned
by our Midwestern critic are
very honorable men honestly
trying to advance the cause of
social Justice. Some-for ex-
ample, the officers of the Nation
al Farm Labor Union-are def
initely "underpaid."
Our continued support of the
National Farm Labor Union will
probably make our Midwestern
critic very unhappy, for he
seems to be of the opinion that
the clergy ought to keep quiet
about the labor problem. and
stick to matters of church
To which we can only reply, in
the words of Pope Benedict XIV:
LET no member of the clergy
suppose that activity of this kind
is something foreign to his
priestly ministry because the
field in which il is exercised is
economic. 1t is precisely in this
field that the salvation of souls
is imperiled. Therefore it is Our
will that priests consider it as
one of their duties to give as
much of their life as possible to
social science and social action.
