Pope Approves
Closed Shop,
Priest Asserts

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-(NC)-
Claims that the Christmas mes
sage of His Holiness OF Pope Plus
XII hit at the closed shop" IN
American trade unions may well
have distorted the intent OF the
Holy Father" a priest has stated.
1T does not seem reasonable to
assume that the Holy Father, IN
attacking current evils, would
have in mind custom which
American theologians have found
morally acceptable" Father Jonn
+. Cronin. SIS, OF the Social Ac-
ton Department, N.C.W.C., said.
Father Cronin's statement was
answer to a syndicated column by
David Lawrence which interpreted
the Potiffs pronouncement as hit
ting directly at what is known as
the closed shop in American trade
unionism." fIn subsequent syn
dicated column Westbrook Pegler
also interpreted the Pope's words
as being in opposition to the clos
ed Shop.")
The writer, according to Father
Cronin, overlooked the background
of current problems which must
be used in understanding the pa
pal message.
Pointing to the Pope's state
ment that "accesS TO employment
or places of labor is made to de-
pend on registration in certain
parties or in organizations which
deal with the distribution of EN-
ployment." Father Cronin said:
The Holy Father wrote against
background of current problems.
Thus. he mentions party member
ship as a condition of employ
ment."
