House Group Hits
Campaign 10 Slash
Funds for Veterans
By Robert K. Walsh

House Veterans Committee
members declared war today on
what they called slashing cam
paign by the Budget Bureau and
the House Appropriations Com
mfttee to cut costs Of veterans
programs.
They have proof, they said,
that administration fiscal officers
and the committee headed by
Representative Taber. Republic
can. Of New York. are aiming at
such programs as a prime tar
get to help balance the budget.
Key members, Democrats as
well as Republicans, also charged
that some administration and
Congressional quarters are try
ing equally hard to transfer vari-
Gus functions of the Veterans
Administration. such as the med
1cal, hospital and educational
programs. to the Federal Secur-
ity Agency.
A leading Republican on the
Veterans Affairs Committee said
this is evident in a "Softening
up" strategy consisting Of bitter
and repeated criticism of the
agency and Administrator Carl
r. Gray. jr,
Resolution on Floor.
Something seems likely to be
said about all this tomorrow
when the House takes up a Vet
Grams Affairs Committee resolu-
ton cleared yesterday by the
Rules Committee. The resolution
authorizes a subcommittee in
vestigatfcn of "the efficiency of
administration and operation of
Veterans Administration install
lations." particularly the hospi-
tails and medical facilities.
At least one other House COM
mittee had shown a desire to
make such an investigation.
Representative Edith Nourse
Rogers of Massachusetts, who
heads the Veterans Affairs Com
mittee, emphasized today that
she and the rest of the commit
tee are in complete sympathy
with efforts to balance the Fed
eral budget. But they do not
want the budget to be balanced
at the expense Of the veterans,
she said.
Mrs. Rogers predicted that the
subcommittee investig al ito n
would result in savings and inn
provementS that might run into
millions Of dollars. She recalled
that similar study IN, the 80th
Congress led to savings Of some
$40 million. ~

I'VE want to be constructtyE,"
she said. But we do not Want
the care Of veterans cut down
to dangerous levels as,sit would
be by the decreases, We lnder-
stand are being considered. Aid
We are confident that the people
of the country would never stand
for those kind of slashes."
Mrs. Rogers announced that
she will ask the House, probably
This week, to APPROPRIATE about
$40 million additional for the
medical and disqualification pro-
grams. An attempt by Repre-
sentative league Of Texas, rank
ing Democrat on the Veterans
Affairs Committee. to insert that
amount in supplementary ap-
preparation bill was narrowly de.
feated in the House two weeks
ago.
The committee will wage
particularly vigorous fight against
any recommended reductions in
medical and hospital care of
veterans and in items providing
for doctors, nurses and other
personnel, Mrs. Rogers said. But
the committee. she added, will
fight just as hard if the budget
makers try to trim other veter-
ans programs in any substantial
measure.

GLENDALE, Calf. - (NC) - A

constant hiccuping with the belief
that prayer will bring about his
recovery. Doctors have warned
Jack OLeary not to build his hopes
for recovery from what is the long

tors have attempted to cure him
without success.
Now down to 78 pounds from
the hiccups that wrack his nervous
system every second, 0'Leary has
gained a pound for the first time
since he was stricken 5 years ago.
He is unable to sleep more than

Prague Reds
Renew Battle
With Church

VIENNA - radio, NC) - Re
cent anti-communiSt uprisings in
Czechosloyakia, which followed a
confiscatory currency reform"
may serve the Prague red regime
as pretext for new violent actions
against the Catholic Church.
Fears TO that effect are support
ed by the report of Catholic
workingman who escaped from
southern Bohemia and has just
arrived here. He stated that a
number of priests, most of them
young members of the clergy, dis
appeared after communist aeita-
tors had violently attacked the
clergy as being among the sub
versive elements" responsible for
the anti-red demonstrations.
Most of these priests are feared
to have been arrested and sent to
the concentration camps which the
regime maintains for the recalci-
trant clergy. the escapee said. But
some of them, he speculated, may
have avoided arrest and joined the
underground"
The arrested priests share the
fate of their superior, Bishop Jo-
sef Hlouch of Budejovice, who last
year was 'banished" from his See
and has since been kept in confine-
ment al an unknown place. The
regime engineered the election"
of pro-communist priest, the Rev.
Josef Buchta, as vicar capitular OF
Budejoyice diocese.
Other reports reaching here
speak of about $50 diocesan and
100 Religious priests working at
forced labor in the uranium mines
OF northwestern Bohemia They
had been taken there from the
priests concentration camps in Ha-
jek, near Prague, Gross-Meser-
itsch in Moravia, and a third one
near Brno.
These priests, working in the
mines near Jachimov Joachim
stahD say Mass in primitive chap
els they built deep underground,
thus following the example of the
early Christian martyrs who pre-
served and practiced their Faith in
the Catacombs.

Farmer Denied Square

Society has not gwen the farmer

10 the industrial and commercial
branches of life.
His Holiness Pope Plus XII ex-
pressed this view in an audience
given to members of the Inter
national Federation of Agricultural
Producers who held their sixth an
nual meeting in Rome.
The treatment given farmers is
not for the good of society, the
Pope declared, and it is not in CON
formity with the social doctrine of
the Church.
The Church has repeatedly de-
plored the fact that farming is de-
clInlng because it is profitless
while at the same time whole po-
pulations are suffering from an
acute lack of food.
The remedy is 70 be sought in
an increase in farm production
and in fhs rational sterilization of
economic relations between peo-
pies" the Ponfiff stated. "And
this is valid not only in the field
Of ssricvIfvrs. a certain number OF
national economies have not sue
eeeded in hsrmoniously develop
ing the nofenfislifiss Of production
with which nature has endowed
them.
The Pope told the international
agricultural group that it could

Of markets. the intensification of
commerce and raising the living

farm families.

6 Chaplains Give
Rites At Worlds
Worst Air Crash

TOKYO, June 20 - Six Catholic
chaplains were on hand to give
conditional last rites to the 129
us. servicemen killed near here
in history's worst air disaster.
The first priest reached the
scene as flames covering the giant
two-decked transport plane still
surged high into the sky, fed by
some 5000 gallons of gasoline
from its shattered fuel tanks.
The chaplain was Father Uieut.)
Alfred H. Tegels, Benedictine
from osakis, MINI.
''It was terrible, terrible II
beggars description" Father Tegels
said mournfully. The priest is chap
lain at the Tachikawa Air Base,
where the plane took off before
it developed engine trouble, stag
gered in the misty sky and plum
meted nose first into a rain-soaked
rice field.
Within 30 minutes after the
crash Father Tegels was giving
conditional absoIution beside the
twisted, burning plane Then as the
charred bodies were brought out
he anointed conditionally more
than 40 of the burned bodies. The
crisp hands of one body were still
clenched tightly about Rosary.
Father TegeIs was Joined shortly
by five other ehapIsins from near
by air bases. One of them was Fa-
fher Frank Elmer OF ST. Cloud,

1T is difficult to suppose that
the people who declare that the

the Vatican has given only too

Poland and our regime"

THE Vatican does everything to

that it is ready to render unto Gaze

"As defined in this chapter, the
