French Priests to Stop lnfiItrotion Of Communism

Ten days ago the Catholic
church called q halt to one
of its more colorful expert
ments in the postwar fight on
European communism -appar-
emily because some priests who
started out trying to beat the
Reds have ended up joining
them.
The Congregation of Semi
naries and Universities or
dered the French hierarchy to
discontinue the training of
worker priests" The 10-year
experiment which saw priests
put aside their casSocks and
go to work on the assembly
lines of France has been found
wanting. Indications are that
priests now detailed to the
project will be ordered back to
more traditional duties.
The move was not entirely
unexpected. Criticism had
been increasing against the
scheme. More than a year ago
the French hierarchy had been
constrained to remind worker
priests" that they must first
of all remain obedient to the
church.
What makes the change sig
nificant is that it seems to be
part of a vigorous Tightening
up of church discipline all
along the line.
Following the recent French
strikes, largely Catholic-in-
spired. Jules Cardinal Saliege
of Toulouse was quoted as
saying:
Things are happening as
though there were a we'll
planned action preparing for
the welcome of communism
within the body of Catholi-
cism."
Shortly after, he warned
priests Of his diocese at their
annual retreat of the doctrinal
error which says:
"Since the working class is
In such a sorry plight, we must
act first of all to free it from
its misery. Later-and only
later-we will speak about re-
ligion."
The cardinals statements
were followed on September IL
by statement from Pope Plus
XII calling on Italian labor
chaplains to be on guard
against social theories con-
demned by the church.
May the clergy, deeply in
terested in these (sociaD prob
lens and impatient to see
them solved" the Pope said,
mot surrender to blandish-
ments of theories upheld by
adversaries of the church as
though these alone were valid
or as though they furnished a
more fruitful doctrinal con-
tribution or greater vigor of
action"
These developments seem to
be considerably more than sim
pie warnings to specialized nor
tions of the clergy. Some OBJ
servers see them as part of a
subtle but momentous struggle
between liberal and conserva-
tive Catholics, a struggle
which in all likelihood reaches
into the Vatican itself.
Just how general the struggle
has become is indicated by

bitterly opposed the 1946 move
to incorporate the British flag
into this country's ensign.
The controversy may appear
somewhat ludicrous against
the background of the West
ern worlds present struggle
for survival, but it's roots are
deep. They go back to the
beginnings of the Canadian
nation, to the surrender of
New France to England in
1853.
To many of the more than
4 million French-speaking
Canadians, nearly all descend
ants of the $4,000 colonists
who became English subjects
by the Treaty of Paris two
centuries ago, the Union Jack
is a symbol of subjugation and
subServience.
Opposing Viewpoints
1t would be an anachronism
to include it in a Canadian
flag. they argue, because since
the British Parliament passed
the statute of Westminster
in 1881. Canada has been a
fully independent nation.
Canada and Britain are now
equal members of the COM
monwealth of nations, each
enjoying the same status, and
sharing a common sovereign,
Queen Elizabeth.
The rest of Canada's nearly
IS million people are mainly of
British ancestry. To them the
use of the British flag as an
integral part of their own
would symbolic the contribu-

A report from France indi-
Gates that neutralism in that
country, which had quite q
vogue in the postwar years,
is on the decline. The posi-
ton was seriously challenged
at the influential Semaine
Social which was conducted at
Pau during July of this year.
Some observers believe the
latest moves are part of a "get
tough" campaign to prevent
Communist tacticians from
using Catholic splinter groups
to embarrass the church and
the West. They trace the cam
paign to the encylical "Humani
GeneriS" published in mid
1850. This document issued o
call for narrower interpreta-
tions of doctrine and discipline.

Some German neutralistS

been branded tools Of the Com

number last April claimed
papal support for his neutralist
plan, the Pope responded three
weeks later in a public address

ArsenouIt's Plan
Metropolitan Scene:
Should Budget Requests
Show Need of Realism?
By John W. Thompson, Jr.

The Board of Trade raised
a perennial question at public
hearings on the new District
budget the other day.
Should District department
heads submit requests for
everything they think they
need, or should they tailor
their budgets to what they feel
they can get?
The board statement didn't
exactly phrase it that way. It
merely said that because the
estimates presented by the
department heads bore no re-
lation to the city's expected
revenues, and because the
Commissioners had not yet
made their cuts to bring the
requests in line, holding pub
lie hearing at this time was
sort of silly.
It's a moot question.
On the side of the depart
ment heads, it would seem
their duty to present to the
Commissioners their complete
budget needs as they see them.
If a bad situation in a depart
ment developed which could
have been avoided by an ap-
propriate budget request, do
you think the Commissioners
would accept from the de-
partment head the explana-
ton: II didn't think I could
get 1t through?" They more
likely would think he didn't
know his departments re-
Quirements.
And, looking from the top
down, how are the Commits
sioners themselves to be made
aware of complete department
needs in any better way? In
his statement at the public
hearing. Engineer Commis-
Sioner Louis Prentiss defended
the department heads on this
latter basis.
The Other Side
On the other side, there's
this to be said, though. By
asking for the moon, the de-
partment heads can slough off
on Congress or the CommiS-
sionerS the irritation of civic
groups at failing to get money
for some project. There's the
easy reply: well, I asked for
it, but the Commissioners cut
1t out"
The system also presents the
danger that the Commission
ers, in being forced to make
heavy cuts from unrealistic
estimates, may lop off some
important project from one de-
partment while leaving an un-
important one in another be-
cause the latter department
head was more persuasive in
his justification. For example
they might clip a vital item
from the Health Department,
but leave in a minor welfare
item costing the same amount
because the welfare director
was more articulate in argu-
ing for his money.
Still another danger is in
volved in the division of de-
partment responsibility among
the three Commissioners. Under
this setup, a strong Commis-
sioner can get more for his
department than weaker col
leagues in the trimming. For

founding and development of
the Canadian nation. Among
many English speaking Cana
dians the sentimental attach
ment for Britain is very strong
and permits little sympathy
for the French Canadian view
point on the flag issue.
When a Parliamentary COM
mittee considered the question
at great length in 1945 and
1916, it had before 1t some g..
900 designs submitted by indi-
viduals and organizations all
over Canada. The variety was
almost infinite. Some de-
picted native animals from go
pliers to polar bears. Others
included crosses, tepees, wheat
sheaveS, hearts, the f1eur de
lys. Indians, stars, pine trees,
women, clasped hands and a
glaring eye. One even had a
curvaceous damsel walking a
beaver on q leash.
Two 'FinoIists'
The committee narrowed the
field to two alternatives. One
was q diagonally divided red
and white flag with a green
maple leaf on the middle. It
was sponsored by Quebec or
ganizations and most French
Canadian MPS urged its adop-
ton.
The other was basically the
red ensign Of the British mer-
chant marine-a red flag with
the Union Jack in the upper
staff quarter. However, the
committee suggested putting a
gold maple leaf on the fly
the part Of the flag remote
from the pole-and, as con-
ceSsions to Quebec, giving the
leaf a white background for
France. and making the Union
Jack smaller.
But the committee couldn't
agree on either alternative, so
Canada remains probably the
only sovereign nation in the
world which has no flag of it's
own.
Conodo's Present Flag
What is called the Canadian
flag, the flag which is flown al
the United Nations and else
where when foreign govern
ments wish to honor Canada, is
the merchant marines Red
Duster" with the Canadian
coat of arms on the fly. It was
originally intended to identify
Canadian merchant ships, but
by default has moved into po-
sition as unofficial flag of the
country.
French-Canadians Scorn it.
Instead they often fly the flag
of the Province of Quebec
a white cross and white fleurs-
de-lys on q blue field or alter
nately, the French tricolor.
Traditions, prejudice and
pride of race, religion and cul-
ture are so interviewer in the
controversy that Mr.. Arse
nault's effort to give Johnny
Canuck a flag of his own to
wave seem foredoomed to fail
ure-but a spectacular failure.

the cutting sessions than some
OF his colleagues whose depart
ments were just as important.
It would be a lot simpler,
certainly, if the department
heads did hold their budgets
down to an amount they might
reasonably expect to receive. A
lot of time and talk would be
saved. But there is real room
for doubt whether the end re-
suits would be any different.
AS it is, the Commissioners, in
making cuts. generally do so
on prioritieS schedules prepared
by the departments. which, in
effect. throws back on the de-
partment head the job of par
ing the fat.
From where this column sits,
it is hard to escape the fact
that the duty of most depart
ment heads is not to raise
money, but to assess needs and
to spend what they get eff
GENTLY to produce the maxi
mum top quality public service.
It is difficult to see how they
can avoid competing for as
much of the District tax dollar
as they can get-just as Fed
eral departments battle for
their share of the United States
tax dollar-if they have any
belief in the public need for
their services. Sure, there's
always the apple in the barrel
who is looking out for him.
self instead of the public
who is asking for more per-
sonnel and projects to expand
his own empire and i'm
portance. But give most of the
department heads the benefit
of the doubt. They're entitled
to it.
New Boards as lobbies
Speaking of the budget, it
will be interesting to see how
effective the new advisory
boards of health and welfare
departments will be as lobby
lists for their departments
when the requests reach the
Capitol in January.
For many years, during
which outstanding citizens
served on it, the Board of
Education was the most pow
erful lobby among the depart
ments. Board members had
access to important members
of Congress and they were but
tressed by the teachers union,
educational organizations Of
teachers and parent-teacher
associations. In recent years
the Police and Fire Depart
ments have developed better
contacts on the Hill.

IF YOU THINK gas buggies have
improved with the years, then take
a look at the oil burning stove or
furnace in your living room or base
ment.
For now they come equipped with
thermostats, humidifiers, tempera-
ture anticipators, air conditioners
and built-in dust and lint removers.
Self-starters? Yes, they have them
too; in fact, they have been standard
equipment on some models for sew
eral years.
Oil, for heat, has come into its own,
and is a major heat source for homes,
garages and farm buildings of all
kinds. Manufacturers have gone a
long way to make their oil burning
products highly competitive to the
other fuels. Most of their products
are dependable to an extreme, nearly
foolproof, safe. long lived and, rated
against any other major appliance,
they are not out of reach, price
wise, of the average family.
Like any other product they are
built to certain specifications and
to do a certain job. So you can buy
an oil stove that will do an ade-
quate job of heating small house
or a furnace that will hold r.
room rambler in perfect tempera-
ture control.
Stoves, or circulation room heat
ers as they are sometimes called,
are generally lowest in initial cost.
They come in assorted sizes and

These Changes Cost
But Pay Dividends

Insulate your attic floor, or, if
that is not possible, your roof.
Attic floor insulation may save
up to 20 per cent of your fuel.
See that hot water or steam
pipes or warm air ducts are well
insulated if they are located
near outside walls.
Install storm windows, storm
doors and weather stripping.
Put caulking ompound in
cracks. This can save 10 to 20
per cent.
Arrange for your heating oil
dealer to send an expert to
clean, adjust and repair your
heating plant at least once a
year.
Have this expert check size and
angle of nozzle in your burner,
clean filters and check blower,
controls, ignition, etc.
Also have him make stack tenn
perature and COZ carbon di-
oxide) tests on your furnace to
determine its combustion eff
cheney.
Stop air leaks around furnace
with asbestos cement.
Stop all oil leaks, no matter
how small.
Have furnace draft control
checked to keep too much heat
from escaping up chimney.
The heating capacity of some
gravity hotwater systems can be
increased by installing a pump;
that of some gravity warm-air
plants can be increased by in
stalling a blower. Consult your
oil dealer.
Battles in the fire box also give
you more heat from less fuel.
9 Insure Gle n, better burning
fuel by the use-and annual
cleaning-of oil filters.
. Be sure your radiators and heat
ing plant are of proper size.
See that your radiators or heat
ing ducts are in balance. Avoid
too much heat here, too little
there.
Check the pitch of all steam
pipes. Pipes of incorrect slope
may block heat.

These Big Savings
Cost Only Time

Close house doors promptly to
keep all the heat inside.
Keep temperature m o a e
enough so windows won't have
to be opened.
Turn off heat in rooms being
ventilated.
. Turn off heat and close doors
of rooms not in use.
Close fireplace hampers when
not in use. If hampers are miss
ing and fireplace is not used,
close chimney opening.
. Lower thermostat at night. Set
ting it back 10 degrees for eight
hours will save 10 per cent or
more.
Lower thermostat to SIS degrees
when going away for day or
longer.
Check radiator enclosures to be
sure they are not trapping heat.
Remove rugs and furniture
from places where they block
radiators or registers.
Check steam radiator valves for
proper function. Replace nom
adjustable steam radiator valves
with valves of adjustable type.
Drain air or water, if present,
from steam radiators to allow
them to heat up fully.
If your garage is heated, keep
doors closed and temperature
low.
Keep water in heating boiler
clean for faster, more efficient
operation.
Watch steam-boiler water level.
A boiler usually operates best
if level is at center of gauge.
Avoid overheating furnace. II
wastes fuel.
Drain pail of water to take
sediment from bottom of do

to insure efficiency.
Check and repair leaky hot
water faucets. CA leak of only

How About Economy?
But" asks the prospective user,
''can 1 have these comfort and con-
venience features and economy,
too?" Furnaces are much like auto
mobiles. Some get top mileage"
others not so good. For instance, one
Central Montana home owner re-
ports an oil fuel bill of $210 for the
1850 heating. season. A neighbor
with the same floor plan but with
different make of furnace reported
an oil fuel bill of $13S.
Sixty miles away, another home
owner reported a fuel consumption
of 2,100 gallons in 1949, 1920 in 1850.
He complained of cold floors and
inadequate heat in some rooms. A
new model oil furnace, he said,
warmed every room in the house"
and dropped his fuel consumption
to an even 700 gallons in 1851. An
other heated with coal, his delivered
price for the year running him $1OO.
After changing to oil his heating
bill came to $145. This was an in
crease in fuel costs, but the addi-
tlonal cost might have been offset
by extra convenience and cleanli-
ness plus uniformity of heat through
forced air against a former gravity
system.
Some Major Thinking
A heating system for a home is
major investment. You are also
making a major investment in flu
ture financial expenditures, and o.
course in health and comfort. Sc
you may wish to do little major
thinking on the subject.
Within servicing area of your
home there are likely dozen deal
ers with perhaps two score different
sizes and makes and models of oil
burning heating units. Perhaps not
more than one or two of these units
will exactly fit the initial cost, com
fort and operating efficiency stand.
ards that you want in your home
If initial cost is a factor, if you
home is small, if you wish to hea
only part of a larger home, ther
a circulating room heater, flool
furnace or a wall furnace nigh

answer all your questions. These
units are also adapted to moving
from one building to another.
AS you go into more permanent
systems and are considering fur
mace installations, you'll want first
to decide on the heat convection
system you want, whether air, wa
ter or steam. Be sure to take into
consideration not only the initial
cost but the probable operating eff
ficiency.
Air Conditioning
Perhaps you'll want a system
with combination air conditioning
for summer time USE It may not be
long until summer air conditioning
is looked upon with the same deg
rec of necessity as is proper winter
heating.
Reliable dealers will go into a
great deal of detail to get you the
right unit for the right job. They
will check your room dimensions,
ceiling height, exposed wall area,
window area, the kind and type of
installation, the exposure of pre-
vailing winds and other factors.
From this data they can deter
mine the furnace that will give you
adequate reserve heat, yet will not
burn excessive amounts of fuel, will
not carry overloads on fans result
ing in abnormal wear and electric
consumption, and will be located
within the home to give best results.
