Or Wrongdoing, Says

dal," denied in Federal court

about each of four perjury counts
by his lawyer. James F. Reilly.
They alleged he failed to tell
the truth concerning money paid
him by private industry while
an RFC examiner in 1948 and
1949.
To each question, he replied:
did I lie? Never. I had no
reason to do so. I tried to tell
the truth so far as / knew it
and I haven't done anything
wrong"
However, he admitted he told
q Senate Banking subcommittee
he had not been given 1912 by
Hubert Peoples, business con-
Sultant.
Remembered Later.
Young said the committee, at
the time, had his books, and the
item slipped his mind. Later, he
said, his memory was refreshed,
and he acknowledged the pay
ment to a District grand jury.
Young emphatically denied
having exerted any pressure for
approval Of a $40 million loan to
the Lustron Corp, formed to
build prefabricated homes. The
firm later went bankrupt, after
getting a total of $37 million
from RFC.
Following his resignation from
RFC, Young was hired by the
prefabricating corporation.
Earlier, Prosecutor William
A. Paisley had introduced q
paper connected with the $40
million loan, which bore
Young's signature.
The former examiner also
maintained he told the truth in
stating he did not owe a total
Of about $4,000 to two private
firms. He said the money rep

was not a blind for income dis

The whispers from some
quarters that if Gen. James
Van Fleet had not spelled out
the truth about past ammuni-
ton shortages our defense
lines in Korea might not have
been attacked by the Chinese
are taken only lightly by the
members of the Senate Armed
Services Committee.
The subcommittee headed
by Senator Margaret Chase
Smith of Maine will start pub
lie hearings shortly with Gen.
Van Fleet as the first witness.
1t is likely that the investiga-
t1on about an insufficient
quantity of ammunition for
our own and the allied forces
may extend into an investiga-
ton of whether political mo-
tives may have had anything
to do with these shortages.
Since the hearings which
followed Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur'S dismissal as supreme
commander in the Far East, it
had become public knowledge
that the military strategy in
the Korean war was domi-
mated by political decisions
from Washington and indi-
rectly from the United Ma
tionS.
The concept of the diplo-
mats was that we were in
Korea to punish aggression"
and consequently not under
take offensive operations even
if the field commanders be-
lieve that they could throw the
enemy back beyond the YaIu
River.

Late Pastor-Educator Leaves
Legacy Of Advice For 'Teeners'

TOLEDO, o. NC A staunch
champion of high-schoolers, who
was buried here. left behind a rich
legacy of counsel about the young,
sters.
Father Raymond G. Kirsch, So
came here 10 years ago as pastor
of ST. Wendelin's parish and super.
intendent of its high school. He
had served for IL years as principal
of Central Catholic High School in
Toledo. Before that had been pres
ident of the former DeSales College
in Toledo.
A goodly portion of his advice
was in a series of pithy paragraphs
he penned when he left the Toledo
high school. He contended that
every high schooler really wants
to learn and wants to make worth
while person of himself" Other
bits of advice he passed on includ-
ed:
They love to be made to feel
that their decisions are important.
God wills they should d evelop
their own responsibility They are,
rightly, hard to force but almost
invariably easy to lead.
High school students want to do
what is right, though at times they
may be confused in their opinions;
they are keen lovers of justice,

BURLINGTON, VT. - (NC) ~
Young America has been deliber-
ately cut off from God. This is the
disedifying, but accurate picture of
our society-irreligious education,

Father Moriarty, lis irreligious.
do not say atheistic-but complete
ly irreligious. That means not only
that our process is morally and
ethically unsound, but more TO the
point, II is bad education"
Father Moriarty outlined the
problem facing American educa-
tors who seek a unifying principle
Ia principle of integration."
"The blunt fact" he said, SIS
that the unifying principle of our
civilization and Of its educational
process has always been Christian
ity. Only our divorce from il has
Caused this endless confusion"
"You need not share my reli
gious convictions, to agree with
me" Father Moriarty said. "Reli'
gion must be included in any com
plete scheme of education if for
no other reason than that it repre-.
sents q phase-and a very vital
phase-of human history. II the
school aims to develop the whole
man, how can it do justice to its
students il it evsdes an area of
personal development which, more
than any other, forms character"
Father Moriarty declared: His
torically the concept of formal
system of education completely di-
vorced from God and eternal val
ues represents a total departure
from the American tradition. Our
way of life, as conceived by our
forefathers and embodied in this
country's historical charter, ac-
knowledged absolute dependence
upon God"
"All of our earliest schools we're
deeply religious. Ironically enough,
today any school or system of
schools which sdheres faithfully to
that tradition is termed 'unAmeri-

For that reason" he said, "we
must acknowledge that il is singu.
larly unifying, singularIy sane, sin

singularly American"
Father Moriarty noted that the
need for religion was recognized by
others. Protestant day schools, :"
he said, report an increase of 81

covered.
Variety OF Conditions
Father Kirsch observed: Stud
ents come to high school from q
variety of home conditions. | have
often marveled at the splendid
traits of character in students who
face their hardest hours in their
own homes. Sometimes their bur
dens are carried to school. II they
are received sympathetically and
prudently their salvation may be
established. Harshness in their
cases may result in permanent
bitterness"
Father Kirsch found high school

Catholic school, essentially whole.
some in their relations with che
another. He said:
"It is Gods plan that almost all
of them should enter marriage.
Acquaintances among boys and
girls are normally unavoidable, and
W h o j esome acquaintance are
desirable rather than otherwise,
Friendships which appear to be ex'
cessive should be dealt with con
fidentially by someone who has
or can win their confidence"
His parting advice to the Central
teachers was:
Preserve a sincere and kindly
interest in every stu d ent who
comes under your direction; help
him to know that your graeatest
concern and deepest interest is
his welfare; help him to realize
that his problems are your prob
lens and that your greatest reward
will be found in his success and
happiness; help him to see that
you are happy not in finding faults
to correct but rather in praising
the steps in his self-improvement;
help him to understand that his
mistakes will not upset your bal
ance but that they destroy his
progress and weaken his self-res-
pect as we'll as the respect
which others should have for
him; in fine, let him realize that
you stand alongside his parents,
under God, TO help him to the pos
ition of honor and dignity that God
expects of him.
