Armed Forces Study
Cuts in Manpower

Assistant Secretary of Defense
John A. Hannah disclosed today
the armed services are studying
the possibility of cutting man.
power strength 100000 by the
beginning of the fiscal year in
July, 1854.
Dr.. Hannah said he asked the
Army to study the possibility Of
operating with 1921 900 officers
and men compared with 1885,
600 as of last September 30
the latest figures available-and
1,423,000 scheduled for June 80,
1854.
The Navy would have $4,000.
1t had 785,000 on September 30
and is scheduled to reduce it's
strength to 745,OOO by June 80.
The Marine Corps, which had
261, 900 on September 80 and is
scheduled to be cut to 100000
by next June 80, has been asked
to see if it can get along with
100000 officers and men.
The Air Force would be al
lowed to increase by 10000 to a
total of 100000.
DR.. Hannah emphasized that
if the cuts were finally agreed
upon, it would be made in sup
port" troops and would not inn
pair the combat" effectiveness
of the services.
There is a widespread feel
ing within the Defense Depart
ment that the services should be
able to maintain their combat
strength with fewer men in sup
port" he said, adding that "he
had asked them to make an
honest-to-goodness effort to re-
duce their manpower through in
creased utilization"
If the services found it i'm
possible" to make such reduc-
tions without affecting combat
forces, the program would be
modified.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25. - A

even while Steelmaking opera

today.
Though most steel sales peo-
pie had kept whiStling a brave
tune, some were frankly puzzled
over the long silence of auto in
dustry buyers" said Iron Age.
Nov that the ice has been bro
ken they expect automotive GUS
toners to enter the market
heavily for f1rst-quarter business
in the next two or three weeks. "
1t is vital that they do just
that, said Iron Age, because the
steel industry needs a good first
quarter if it's performance in
1854 is to measure up to advance
notices.
Zest in Buying.
Auto industry buyers "are re-
entering the market with some
zeSt," said Iron Age, adding
but buying still reflects un-
willingness to place orders far
in advance.
Auto steel buyers are "in a
mood to squeeze the best bar
gains possible out of a buyers
market" the weekly said.
SupplierS of automotive parts
lacking big-customer bargaining
power, are placing orders further
ahead, said Iron Age, and some
have ordered steel for the en-
tire first quarter.
Warehouses are about in the
same position, said Iron Age, but

Gods Place I'm Truce
And Treaty

The whole world rejoices in the Korean truce.
For it is undoubtedly the earnest prayer of the
good ordinary citizen of every nation that there
be peace. And long as fighting has stopped,
there is hope for peace Let there be prayers of
thanksgiving TO Almighty God for the cessation of
hostties; and let there be continued prayers for
o lasting and just peace.
There have been all sorts of opinions about the
justice OF this that position in the Korean war
well in the present truce arrangement. The
same could be said about many former peace
rangements and pacts between nations. In too many
instances, know with grief, there has been
too little for justice in international agree
ments. The welfare of the millions OF people who
make up the world has not been sought; instead
the powers in control obtained for themselves
advantage to the detrment of weaker peoples and
to the destruction OF future peace. This must not
happen again.
In this truce and in the peace which all earnestly
pray will follow, il would seem about time to ac
knowledge Almighty God. Some place in the docu-
mentS futile weak falible should appeal to
Divine Providence to guide and direct in the way
of true peace. II is doubtful if this will be done for

WASHINGT0N-Congressmen
generally agree that something
should be done about witnesses
who refuse to testify before com
mitteeS on the ground of self
inerlmInatlon. just what can
be done they don't know now.
But they hope to come up with
something in the not too distant
future.
Not only do many Congress
men feel that communiSt-tinged
witnesses have frustrated the
otherwise effective work of Con-
gressional committees, but al
most all Of them have had some
complaints from people back

fact that some legislators have
sent word back home that some
thing will be done.

a witness may invoke the pro-

feel, this right is being abused.

Individual Congressman have
already introduced a number of
bills which they feel would cope
with the situation. However, in
each case, the enthusiasm of the

INQUIRY CORNER

@. What is SIN against tthe
Holy Ghost? Can it be forgiven?
A. The sin against the Holy
Chose consists in persistent apd
wilful resistance to the inSpira-
tions of the Holy Ghost until
death. 1t cannot be forgiven. Our
Lords says: The blasphemy
against the Holy Ghost shall not
be forgiven, neither in this
world or in the world TO come"
Matthew 1892
Final impenitence and rejec-
ton of Gods grace makes 1t i'm
possible for the merciful God to
forgive. The enemies of Christ
who deliberately ascribed His
works TO the devil Matthew
12:24) and even declared him
possessed of the devil John
8:48) were acting against the
known truth. They are likely
examples of this sinful attitude,
but any individual can repent.
II is persistence in this attitude
which makes Gods grace mop
erative for that person. God must
reject those who reject Him.
@. Are not forces of hereditg
and environment enough TO
make criminals Of some peo-
pie, who thus lose their souls
through no fault of their otCn,
i0hiEe others hare the advantage
of Good Christian homes aud
parents?
A. No one can lose his soul
through no fault of his own.
Certainly heredity and environ
ment have great influence on
people. That is the reason for
the emphasis the Church places
on Christian education and fami-
ly life. God wishes all men to
be saved and to come to the
knowledge of the truth" Il limo
thy IA He gives everyone
grsces enough for saving his
soul, regardless of the pressure
of all hostile forces. A man may,
like the good thief be crimi-
nal and stiH save his soul. often
great saints have come from I'M
likely environments just as great
men have overcome obstacles to

then, is based upon the supposi-
tion that you can teach an adult
new tricks, and must teach him
such if he is not TO become a men
ace TO the society in which he
lives.
Currently, adult education moves
in two directions. We have now,
and have long had, formal adult
education. Night courses. summer
classes have been available for
some time for those who cannot
attend regular classes. and those
programs. whether on high
school or college level, have the
same character and objectives as
regular academic courses or pro-
grams. These courses carry credit
and lead to degrees in the various
professional fields.
Vital TO Present and Future
We have more recently entered
into the field of informal adult
education an education effort
that embraces non-credit courses
which lead to no degree and de-
mand no requirement save that of
adult life or adulthood. In keep
ing with its informal nature, it
may be carried on anywhere.
wherever ii can best reach the
people who need its benefits. II
may include variety of subjects.
in keeping with adult needs or
adult problems. Ii may embrace a
teaching staff of professional edu-
Gators or leaders of community
and civic life. II may appeal to
adults of all walks of life. profes-
sional and unprofessionaI as well
as those of greater or lesser cul-
tural backgrounds.
Informal adult education pro-
grams are rapidly spreading in
connection with our colleges. high
schools. labor organizations. church
organizations, and community edu-
eational programs. II Is mainly.
therefore, in reference TO these
ventures in adult education that
we are concerned here. because
they are so vital in reference to the
immediate present of America and
to her future.

not by the apparent success IN
virtue, but by the personal effort
considered in all the complica-
tons of a mans background.
@. Where should a young per
son go for the facts of hfe"!
What If his parents soill not and
do not tell him?
A. Christian parents have the
right and the duty to explain ac-
cording to the age OF the child
what he should know about sex.
To supplement or supply what
they do not teach others who
hold from God the commission
to teach and who have the grace
of state" Pope Plus XJ in Chris
tian Education of Youth'') should
be consulted. Priests. Christian
teachers and doctors may well
complete the instruction given
by parents. Books approved by
these responsible people may
give information in a way more
detailed than discussion would
allow. The Pope adds that the
modern overemphasis on knowl-
edge as cure-all is false and
gerous. Particularly in
young people, evil practices are
the effect not so much of ignor-
ance of intellect as OF weakness
of will exposed to dangerous
occasions, and unsupported by
the means of grace"
Q. What should one tell the
priest over the phone tn an
emergency Sick-cdll?
A. The person calling the
priest should give the exact ad-
dress and directions, If neces-
sary, and how to reach the scene.
He should tell the priest the
name of the person who is sick
and his status If there is any
thing unusual (e.g. if he is a
fallen-away Catholic. He should
mention the degree OF the emer-
gency lie. whether the person is
in immediate danger of death or
apparently dead. 1t is important
also to tell whether the person
is conscious and able to receive
Holy Communion.
