Christian Trade Unions, before the
international Labor Organization,

Pointing out that according to a
report of the director general of
the LILO. armament expenditures
in Europe and the United States
are now running "at a rate about
ten times as much as would be re-
quired as foreign capital to meet
the needs of the rapidly increasing
population of the worlds under
developed regions" Mr. Van Isten-
dael posed this question:
"is IL admissible that govern
ments should agree TO spend such
enormous sums on defense and
ornaments and that they should
not find q small fraction of these
amounts TO try TO solve the great
social qvesfions?"
1t was IN answer to this that the
speaker referred to social progress
as furnishing a better defense than
ornaments and added: Il appeal to
the sense of responsibility of gov
ernments to improve this very dis
appointing situation"
Pledging the continued support
of the Christian Trade Union Fed
Grafton for the work of social JUS
tice and progress pursued by the
LILO, Mr.. Van Istendael drew at
tention to the idea of the Chris
tian trade union movement in re-
gard to freedom of association.

must have the right to combine
not only on the basis of their COM
mon trade or interests but also on
the basis of their theological or
philosophical ideas" This principle
of the free choice lis not recog-
nized or even respected" in many
countries and territories, Mr.. Van
Istendael added, although this
conception of freedom CORE
spends TO the provisions of the va
rious conventions" previously
adopted by the LILO
Discussing the question of "co-
management" the speaker recall
ed that the Christian Trade Union
Federation demanded such a syS-
tenn, which must be applied in
different ways according to the
size of undertakings and which en-
ables wage earners to play
an active part in the policy, admin
istration and management Of an
undertaking, thus placing humani-
tartan preoccupations in the fore
front of economic activity"
Such a reform might help to
solve the problem of productivity
and contribute ito that more favor
able atmosphere in human rela-
tions which is essential for produc-
tion on community basis" he
stated, adding:
Both on the plant level and on
the trade levels, both nationally
and internationally, there is too
often tendency to refuse to the
workers and their organizations
any real participation in the re-
search into and application of pro-
ductivity methods.
Particularly in Europe the
Christian workers want to be fully
represented in existing bodies or
in any that may be set up in the
future for these purposes"

Foreign Aid Chief Stassen called
the report "a thoughtful! and rea-
soned document" and said it "can
serve as one of the guides in the
review of programs for Mutual

may be undertaken in the future"

the number of hours assigned to
religious instruction in the public
schools. To dodge this obligation it
has turned many of its schools
over to the Society of Friends of
Children.
To cope with this situation the
Church has set up six-year course
in catechetical instruction to be
impaired to children in the church
es. Details of the program are re.
yealed in reports coming from the
various dioceses in Poland.
The first two years of instruction
are entrusted to women catechistS.
Advanced instructions are given by
priests.
The first years instruction is
designed for children of pre-school
age; the second for children of
from seven to eight years; the
third for children up to nine years.
These three years are preparatory
for Confession.
The fourth year, for children up
to ten years of age, prepares them
for their First Communion. The
two final years are aimed at pre-
pairing the children for Confirma-
tion.
The new program, together with
the religious instruction impaired
to children at home, is promising
to do good job of countering the
atheistic propaganda fed them in
the schools.

Mr.. Lorwin, 46, now at the

Sistant professor of social sci

Coast Democrats
Study Condor Case
BY the Associoted Press

RICHMOND, Calf. Dec. S.
The head of the California
Democratic State Central Com
mittee says his group will look
into charges that Representative
Condor, Democrat. of California
attended a closed Communist
party meeting in 1948.
David Blodgett of Chicago. an
admitted ex-Communist, told
the House Un-American Ac-
tiyities Committee Thursday
that Mr.. Condor attended such
a meeting in 1948. He said he
did not know if Mr.. Condor,
then a candidate for the State
Assembly, was a Communist.
Last night State Senator
George Miller, jr.. said the
Democratic committee he heads
plans to talk to Mr.. Condor
and others about the incident.
I'm not going to get hySteri-
cal about it," Mr.. Miller said.
And the State Central Com
mittee is not going to jump to
any conclusions based upon the
allegations of an eX-Communist
An ex-Communist would
certainly have to be regarded
as self-Serving witness"
Mr.. Condor, who firmly
denied any connection with
communism, said he recalled
attending such a meeting as
Blodgett described, but said he
thought it was a trade union
gathering called to discuss
candidates in a political CAM
pRign he was managing.
