Declares Law
Backs Liberty
Of Conscience

DAYTON, Ohio - (NC)- "The
clear implication of the First
Amendment to the Constitution
is that our government recognize
that it has no jurisdiction in mat
ters of religion" Archbishop Karl
]. Alter of Cincinnati told a meet
ing of lawyers here.
Speaking on Religion Looks at
the Law" at the first of a series
of luncheon meetings by Dayton
attorneys, Archbishop Alter de-
clared:
''The United States is not in
different to religion, for the his
tory of our country and the deci-
sions of the Supreme Court point
to us as a religious nation" With
reference to the First Amendment
the prelate declared the govern
ment "has no jurisdiction with re-
spect to freedom of conscience.
The free exercise of religion shall
never be a liability to any citi-
zen, nor shall it place in ieopar-
dy his civic right" he asserted.
Human law, the Archbishop said,
comprises a series of commands
promulgated by legitimate author
ity for the regulation of human
conduct, both individually and coll
ectively.
Back of law is government or
the State; back of government is
authority and power, and back of
all authority is God" he asserted.
"The founding fathers rejected
the secularist idea of the origins
of rights and duties. They e
jected Rousseau's ideas as ex-
pressed in his Social Con-
tract" and deliberately espoused
the religious concept of the origin
of right and duties. This is evil
dent from the words: We hold
these truths to be self evident,
that man is endowed by his Crea-
tor with certain unalienable rights;
among these are the right to life,
liberty, and the pursuit of hap
piness."
Archbishop Alter cited the juri-
dicial testimony of the courts, the
legal sanctions in the enforce
ment of law and the history and
content of the Constitution and the
Bill of Rights to bring out that
the United States, in its funda-
mental concept of law and govern
ment, is religious.

followed the path of reason
straight into the Church.
A convert of little more than a
year, DR.. Wright recently told a
local Holy Name group how his
hobby of reading religious philcso-
phies led him into the Church.
Il searched a good many years" !"
said the 34-year-old, South Carol
ina-born doctor, "for a religion
that would be compatible with my
work in medical science"
He found it, finally, in the Cath
olic Church, which goes farther
than any other in providing ra-
tional answers to rational ques-
tions."
'In the end you have to have
faith" smiled DR.. Wright, ''but
it seems to me that the Catholic
Church takes you as far along the
road of reason as it is possible
to CO."
An assistant professor in Ohio
State University's Department of
Medicine, DR.. Wright is engaged
in research on diseases of the
blood, such as anemia and leukem-
la (He speaks of them as if they
were next-door neighbors: "the
Anemias and the Leukemias.")
He denies that there is anything
dramatic or romantic about his
research. I'VE just lay one brick
upon another" he said.
His progress through the en-
circling gloom of religious doubts
and difficulties was marked by the
same methodical, painstaking ad-
vance that characterizes his med
ical researches.
He admits, however, that mo
one can say precisely what has
led him to take such a STEP
Among the contributing factors
in his own conversion we're books
by non-Catholic authors on re-
ligious subjects ("the kind that
requires you to think about God
and your relationship to Him")
stories of Catholic converts (for
example, the Rev. John A.
0'Brien's collection, 'The Road
to Damascus"), an intelligent tend
ency to react unfavorably to the
prejudiceS of his early surround
ings in Columbia, S. c., and the
example of sterling Catholic ac-
quaintances.
The Rev. Albert K. Culliton, pas
tor of st. Christopher Church, Co
lumbus, instructed DR.. Wright and
received him into the Church Dec.
10, 1850.
AT his baptism he took the name
of Thomas, for ST. Thomas Aquin-
as, and later learned that his own
birthday was the feast day of St.
Thomas.
In addition to teaching, research,
and clinical consultation at Ohio
State, DR.. Wright is chairman of

Improved Working
Conditions Called
Anti-Red Weapon

WOODSTOCK, Md. - NC)-The
Rev. Albert Leroy, ST., of the In
ternational Labor Office in Geneva,
told the Jesuit theological students
at Woodstock College that the best
way to fight communism is to inn
prove working conditions and to
give the workers some share in the
direction of their own lives and des-
TIMES.
Higher wages are not enough,
Father Leroy said. The funda.
mental aspiration Of trade union
members is the recognition of their
human dignity through a voice in
management. he continued. adding
that il is not clear whether this
will take the form of Industry
Councils. Father Leroy expressed
the opinion that some form of CO.
determination is inevitable.

Fordhan Prof
Sees Ultimate
Soviet Failure

NOTRE DAME, Ind. - NC) -
One of the major hopes for world
peace lies in the possibility of an
eventual successor to Josef Stain
who would ponder the possibility
of coming to terms with the United
States and its allies" according to
a Fordham University professor of
sociology.
In the current issue of ReUieW
of Politics, political science quar-
terly published by the University
of Notre Dame, DR.. N. S. Timasheff
writes that "the political power
center located in the Kremlin is
the most dynamic of all the exist
ing ones-and this provokes the
impression of immense strength" "
Author of Religion in Soviet Rus
sia," DR.. Timasheff goes on to say
that historical experience shows
that highly dynamic power struc-
lures based on coercion finally
break down under the weight of
circumstances for which they prove
to be no match"
How could the Kremlin center
60 under? First the system con-
tains an insoluble problem, that of
succession" the Fordham writer
explains. "The day will come when
Stain will be no more. Who will
succeed him to bring into motion
the levers activating the power ma
chine? He could leave last will.
But the last wills of dictators are
rarely executed, Lenin explicitly
warned his lieutenants against
giving supreme power to Stain
but they did.
There could be a clandestine
election amidst the inner circle.
But there is among them no person
whose authority would be in the
inner circles acknowledged by the
others. The merger of the supreme
offices in the hands of one man
could be discontinued; but there
by the motive power of the ma
chine would disappear.
"Fission at the very top is,
therefore, probable. 1t could be
envenomed by the fact that, in the
objective situation, there is ma
jor problem of the relationship
with the West. There might be
among the pretenders to supreme
power one who would ponder the
possibility of coming to terms with
the United States and its allies.
This would cause at least partial
disarmament and, as conse-
quence, a substantial increase in
the satisfaction of the consumers
needs. Such a program would be
most popular among the Russian
people. In a thousand ways, infor-
NAL and perhaps intangible, they
would support that pretender
against his rivals. A struggle could
ensue which would shake the sys-
tenn from top to bottom, with en-
tirely unpredietable results"

ported today.
Byrd also said 2.55s, 122 persons
were on the governments civilian
payroll during July, an increase

Both the fiscal year costs and

sional Committee on Reduction of
Nonessential Expenditures.

mittee because he is the chairman
and founder.
For the past fiscal year (1952),
the committee said payrolls of
government civilian workers to-
tailed 9,541 ,OOO, 900, an increase of
"a per cent or 81, 822, 900, 900 over
the previous IL months.
The increase was due to pay
raises voted federal workers by
Congress during the IL months.
Civilians employed by the mill
tary establishment received $4,-

cent or $1,136, 100000 over fiscal
1851.
Workers in civilian agencies
were paid $4,000, 600, 900, a gain
of is per cent or $3.50, 100000 over

OSLO, Norway R-More than
100 Allied warships including eight
big aircraft carriers begin ma
neuvers off Scandinavia next week,
warning Russia that the West is
ready to defend the seas even up
% the Arctic Circle.
Officially known as Operation
Mainbrace," the 13-day war games
will be one of the largest displays
of Allied naval might since World
war II.
The ostensible purpose of the
vast, 8-nation exercise is to give
the participating navies an oppor-
tunity to cooperate in maneuvers
with their North Atlantic Treaty
partners.
Military sources said, however,
that the games could have two
highly important psychological eff
fects:
1. Demonstrate to Norway, Den
mark and little Iceland that they
can and will be defended, that
they are an integral part Of NATO.
2. Serve notice on Soviet Russia
that the Western Allies are fully
prepared to resist attack any
where, even in Arctic waters.

semble off Scotland Monday and
Tuesday. The actual maneuvers
will begin Saturday, Sept. -, I'M

and Belgium. The fleet will range
from battleships like the $4,000
