.Papal ritings
Called Key To
Racial Justice

NEW YORK MO- Papal en-
cyclicals on the reconstruction of
the social order point the way to
the solution of the pressing social
and economic blems of the
American Negro, Negro sociolo-
logist and community leader dec
Jared here.
Percy H. Steele. Jr., executive
director of the Morris County, Nj,
Urban League. and a member of
the sociology faculty of st. Eliza
beth's College, told forum of the
Catholic Interracial Council that
the Rerum Novarum of Pope Leo
XIII, and the Qusdragesimo Ammo
of Pope Pous XI, proclaim the
equality of all races and point out
remedies for the social disadvan-
tages which face the American
Negro,
Quoting Pope Plus XI, Mr.. Steele
said Charity alone cannot make
up for the open violation of
justice " The basic remedy, he
stated is in the insistence of the
encyclicals that 1.-The distribution
of created goods must be brought
into conformity with the demands
of the common good and of social
justice"
The success of the total program
Of social reconstruction advanced
by the Popes would have a pro-
found effect upon racial and social
relations in America, Mr. Steele
said Until men are convinced
of their true brotherhood which
rests on the fatherhood of God
and their membership in the Body
of Christ, class warfare and social
strife will not cease"

provision for accepting applications
for allotments on new wheat farms is
part of the preliminary work PIMA
committees in all wheat producing
counties are now performing in prep
aration for possible allotments and
marketing quotas on the 1854 wheat
crop.
Blank application forms for new
wheat farm allotments are now avail
able at all County PIMA offices, Nc

MST&T RATE REQUEST BASED ON
inflated VALUES, SAYS Olsen

Attorney General Arnold Olsen
yesterday filed brief protesting the
proposed increase in telephone rates.
He requested tn Board of Railroad
Commissioners to deny the Mountain
States Telephone Company's request
because 1.-The petition is based upon
inflated valuations which have no
connection with the company's actual
financial structure or cost base"
''This is the third time in three
years that this company has appeared
before the board asking for increas-
es," Olsen said. at appears that if
the Board is not willing to grant the
Telephone company everything it
asks, the company merely sets out to
get what it wants piecemeal by re-
peated applications. There is nothing
in the present request that was not
fully considered by the Board the
last time the company petitioned."
"The figures which the Com
pany wants the Board to accept as
its valuation do not represent
money invested in the company,
OF money spent by it in giving SER
vice." he said. "The valuation ex-
ceeds the company's investment in
Montana by many millions of dol
lars. These excess millions are nom
existent. They do not even show on
the company's own books The only
place these millions exist is in the
petition filed with the Board"
"While the company is pleading
that its earnings are so low that it
cannot attract capital, it's own earn
ing statements show that it is pay
ng exceptional dividends. While it
says that it cannot sell stock because
IF its low earnings, it admits that it
1oes not attempt to sell stock to the

public. 1t does not have to, because
over ninety per cent of every new is
sue is bought by present holders of
stock, under their preference rights.
This should show that the earning
rate is highly satisfactory to the
stockholders, the people who have
money invested in the company"
"The Telephone company also
says that it cannot raise money by
issuing bonds, because it's debt ratio
is already too high. But, accord
ing to its own figures, it has one
of the lowest debt ratios of any
part of the Bell System, to which
it belongs. Furthermore, under a
contract with American Telephone
and Telegraph, the applicant is
guaranteed all the short term capt.
tai it needs or desires.
'This company has had three rate
increases in recent years." Olsen
said, "And now the people of the
state of Montana are being asked
to pay up to 80 per cent more. We do
not believe there is any reason to pay
this exhorbitant price for telephone
service"
The Telephone company brief was
drafted for the Attorney General
by Assistant Attorney Gen. William
Leaphart who appeared in behalf of
hat office at the recent public SER
vice commission hearings on the
MST&T rate increase petition.
