law governing religious communi-
ties which has been introduced IN
the Yugoslav parliament.
AS reported here the draft law
is repetition of the principles for
a Church-state agreement enunci-
ated last December by the Yugo-
slav Foreign Minister Edward kar-
deli.
The draft law repeats the asser-
tion in the Yugoslav constitution
that there is full freedom of wor-
ship and conscience" According to
the official Yugoslav press, the law
contains 81 sections and will es-
tablish concrete" relations be-
tween the Church and state.
The law makes it clear that in
Yugoslavia the state and not the
Church is the competent authority
in marriage matters. II declares
that only a civil marriage is consid-
cred legally valid, though 1T per-
mits a supplemental" religious
ceremony.
The law bans what il describes
as 'the use of religion for political
purposes" II warns that the church
o. ess may not seek to influence the
political leanings of the faithful.
Bans Parochial Schools
The law restates present legisla-
tion making 1t illegal to give reiig-
ious instruction in school or in pri-
vste homes, though it guarantees"
the right to give religious instruc-
tion in churches.
The new law is reported to con-
cede the right to take up collec-
tions in churches. but insists that
the approval of the authorities is
needed for public" collections.
The draft law reportedly makes
at least a pretense at banning re-
ligious discrimination II states that
persons cannot be restricted in
the rights to which they are en-.
titled by law because of their re
ligious convictions or because they
are of an acknowledged denomina.

New and bitter attacks by Mos

Vatican contradict the words of

writes Osservatore Romano.
Commenting on the broadcast of
an article by the Soviet propagan-

Vatican of preaching war, mass

"Is this a new chapter in anti
religious politics? Is ii an obvious
prelude to greater persecution"
Osservatore Romano referred to
its previous article in which il de-
clared that the efforts to bring
hope to mankind must not be kill
ed by prejudice and suspicion and
added. "This radio comment is the
reply. 1t is a reacherous attack,
because il has been launched not
only without reason, but against all
reason"
For years, 0sseryatore said, the
world has heard the Holy See in

violence, protest against aggres-

Catholic Austria's
BIG Increase In
Divorces Alarming

VIENNA - (NC) - Statistics
published here point to what obser-
vers regard as an alarming increase
in divorce in Austria, where the
latest census showed 89.1 per cent
of the people are baptized Catho-
lies.
OF 1913 marriages registered in
Graz, provincial capital of Styria,
and the second largest city in the
country, during 1851, almost one
third - 604 - involved couples
of whom one, or both, had been
married before. OF the Divorces
who contracted a second marriage,
420 we're men and $40 women.
They included two women of 10
and one man of 21.
According to some observers,
still unpublished statistics for 9th
er cities or regions may not show
quite as bad a situation. They re-
called that Graz has always been
stronghold of anti-clericalism,
and was the seat of the notorius
uan-Germanic Away from Rome"
movement.
However, other observers believe
that the conditions in other CEN
ters are unlikely to be much bet
ter. Even in purely agricultural
districts, divorce and re-marriage,
formerly unheard of, are now no
longer unusual.
The recent census returns show
ed that although most of the popu-
lation registered as Catholics, only
an estimated 20 per cent could
be regarded as active members of
the Church.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 19.--
The Sd United States Circuit
Court of Appeals, in an impor-
tant 4-3 decision, has ruled that
the Virgin Islands has no juris-
diction to give divorces to per-
sons" who do not live there.
It struck down as unconstitu-
tional two sections Of the islands
divorce law, holding them "arbi-
trary and unfair"
The decision last week upheld
the District Court of the Virgin
Islands, division of st. Thomas
and st. John, which had invali-
dated a divorce granted to Mrs.
Sonia Herrup Alton of West
Hartford, Conn, last March.
Lawyers in the islands are con-
sidering an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court. in an ef-
fort to upset the Circuit Court
opinion which would have the
effect. they said. of ending the
lucrative divorce business and up
set the islands economy which is
hinged on divorce and tourist
trade.

High Court Refuses
New Review on State
Fair Trade Laws
New Orleans Firm
Loses Fight Against
Minimum Price Rule
By Robert K. Walsh

The Supreme Court today re-
fused to review another attack
on constitutionality of State
fair trade" laws which allow
manufacturers to set minimum
retail prices for their products.
The unsuccessful appeal was
made by Schwegmann Bros,
a New Orleans supermarket. The
company attacked not only the
Louisiana "fair trade" law, but
also the Mcclure Act passed by
Congress last year. The MCGUIRE
Act provides that nothing in the
Federal antitrust laws shall in
validate any fair trade contract.
Schwegmann Bros. won an
earlier case in the Supreme Court
in 1851. In that decision the
court held that retailers who re-
fused to sign fair trade" agree
mentS were not compelled to sell
at minimum prices fixed by man
ufacturerS. The Mcclure Act
OVerrode that decision.
The effect of today's action by
the Supreme Court leaves stand
ing a lower court finding that
the Mcclure Act does not vio-
late the Federal antitrust laws
and does not improperly dele
gate price fixing powers to pri-
vate groups.
In another order today, the
Supreme Court refused to in
terfere with a ruling by the New
York State insurance superin-
tendent against the Interna-
tional Workers Order, Inc.
The Workers Order was put on
the Attorney Generals list of
Subversive organizations several
years ago. It claimed it was
merely a fraternal benefit So
ciety, but New York State au-
thoritieS ruled that it was Com
munist dominated and a "polit-
ical hazard"

Senator Williams, Republican,

will offer a bill when Congress
reconvenes to make the salaries
of Government employees subject

where delinquencies run back five

aggregate total of revenue loss is
estimated in millions.

This is a shocking and dis

just reflection upon the 80 pei
cent of honest Federal employees
who, like others in private en-
ployment, are paying their taxes.
Internal Revenue agents are
conducting a drive to collect
taxes in Washington and the
suburban Maryland counties
Calls are made in the late after
noon and evening, when the tax
payers are most likely to be al
home. Government workers are
a primary target of the drive.
Congressional tax experts
pointed out today that Govern
ment employees, like private
workers, are subject to the pay
roll withholding system, ano
that persons earning under S.
600 a year have virtually all
their tax withheld before t:ley
are paid. This bracket would in
clude the great majority of Gov
ernment workers.
Not Counted as Demerit.
Senator Williams argued that
if a Government employe files
his tax return without sending a
check for any balance due on his
taxes, there is no way the Gov
ernment can attach his future
salary. The Senator added that
under Civil Service Commission
rules, the non-payment of bills
or taxes is not counted as a de-
merit. He said officials have
ruled that employees cannot be
disciplined or fired for this
reason.
Senator Williams said his bill
will provide that if an employe in
arrears elects to resign from the
Government, the contributions
and interest saccrued to his
credit under the retirement fund
could be attached.
