Piltdown man, the strange
creature with the skull of a man

fossil bones have been studied
by physical anthropologists for
two generations, is q "hoax."
Three British experts yester-
day confirmed the opinion ex-
pressed Is years ago by Smith

American anthropologists that
the bones found in a Sussex
gravel bed early in this century
by a country lawyer represent an
impossible combination, the
Associated Press reported from
London.

Despite the generally unfav-
orable opinion. however, the
specimens are described in the
most recent edition of the Ency-
clopedia Brittanica as "the sec
ond most important find in pal

Now the British scientists, ap-
preaching the problem with re-

The statement followed con-
cluSion of the annual meeting of
the bishops this week at Cath

Catholic Leaders Sign.
1t was signed in their names
by the administrative board of
the National Catholic Welfare
Conference. Members include
Edward Cardinal Mooney of De-
troit. Samuel Cardinal Stritch
of Chicago, Francis Cardinal
Spellman of New York. and
James Francis Cardinal McIn-
tyre of Los Angeles.
The Most Rev. Richard J..
Cushing, Archbishop of Boston,
and the Most Rev. Patrick A.
O'Boyle, Archbishop of Wash
lngton. are among the board
members
The statement, noting that the
desire for economic security and
social reform affects the
thought of great masses of men
who reject the fundamental
tenets of Marxism," asserted that
despite deep sympathy" with
mans desire to change "condi-
tions of degrading poverty" it
must point out goodness is from
within. 1t depends upon mans
personal convictions and upon
his efforts aided by Gods grace. u
State Exists for Man.
Observing that a "deperson-
allied view of man" gained
ascendency during the last CEN
tury, the message said our age
has sought to overcome this at
titude "by imposing upon re-
Dellious individuals a pattern of
compulsory and all-embracing
state organization :. :. +. Hence
socialism in it's various guises has
appeared as forcible organization
imposed upon the confusion
which resulted from false con-
cepts of human freedom"
1.-THE Christian concept of
man, however, is that he is both
personal and social. AS a person,
he has rights independent of the
State; as a member of society
he has social obligations.
The state is a creature of man,
but man is a creature of God;
hence the state exists for man,
not man for the state"
SeculariSm is draining mod
ern education of moral con-
tent" the statement continued,
adding that when education
tries to exist in "a religious and
moral vacuum it degenerates
into a dead and deadening jux-
Imposition of facts"
Insisting that education can
not be really neutral in prac-
tice," the message declared it
must "inculcate a religious and
moral outlook, or it will incul-
cate a materialistic one."

Pearson Differs
With Gouzenko
On u. S..P|ea
Cunodiun Minister
Studying Whether
To Allow Questioning

BY 6eToid WorIng
SpeeiaI Correspondent of The Sfar


OTTAWA, Nov. 21.-Canadian
Foreign Minister Lester B. Pear
son and Igor Gouzenko, who ex-
posed a Russian spy ring in
Canada eight years ago, differed
sharply today over whether
United States Senate investiga-
tors should question the former
Russian Embassy code clerk
about espionage in the United
States.
Mr.. Pearson cancelled plans to
go to New York to spenG the
week end here studying a second
American request for Canadian
authorization for such question:
ing.
He refused to speculate On the
governments reply, other than
to outline reasons why it had
been decided at the time Of the
first request that there would be
no useful purpose in having him
interviewed by a congressional
committee.
Earlier, authoritative Cana
dian government sources said the
second United States request
would be refused.
Two Committees Interested.
Both the Senate Internal Sc
curity subcommittee headed by
Senator Jenner. Republican, of
Indiana, and the Senate Investi-
cations subcommittee headed by
Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
of Wisconsin, have been inter-
ested in questioning Mr.. Gou-
zenko. By agreement the Jenner
group has been handling the
request.
When Mr.. Pearson hastily
summoned reporters to his office
this morning to explain the
Canadian governments position,
he knew of an affidavit by Mr..
Gouzenko published in the Chi
cago Tribune and Toronto Tele-
gram, but he had not seen a copy
of it.
In the affidavit Mr.. Gouzenko
said in part: II believe meet
ing with Senators Mccarthy
and Jenner) would be useful
since I can give advice which,
if properly put into effect, would
have good chances of bringing
exposure of present Soviet spy
rings in the United States in
comparatively short time"
Mr.. Pearson said he under

published something to the ef-
feet that Gouzenko has signed

some doubt. to put it mildly. on
the statements I or the Prime
Minister made in the House OF
Commons that there would be

committee"
Police Report Cited.
Mr.. Pearson said the govern
ment'S refusal to authorize
American investigators to exam

based on a report from the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police.
The police questioned Mr..
Gouzenko on October 27, Mr..
Pearson said, and advised the
government:
l. "He stated that he has
nothing more to offer than what
had already been reported in the
Royal Commission report on So
Wet espionage"
2. He also stated that he had
been grossly misquoted by the
Chicago Tribune"

Terps Defeat Alabama, 27-O,
Irish Tied by Iowa, 74-74
Maryland, Virtually Sure of Orange Bowl
Bid, Muy Climb to Top in Runkinqs

The University of Maryland
yesterday closed out a perfect
season by overpowering Alabama,
21-0, thereby virtually clinching
bid to the Orange Bowl and
establishing a strong claim to
top ranking in the Nation.
That claim was Dolstered by
stunning near upset in South
Bend, Ind, where Notre Dame
the No. l ranking team all year
had to make a superlative rally
in the final seconds to gain a
14-l4 tie with an inspired Young
Iowa eleven. That's the only
scar on an otherwise perfect
record for the Irish, who had
swept through seven previous
victories.
Notre Dame still has two
games on its schedule-Southern
California and Southern Meth
odist = to recoup its prestige.
But in the voting for national
rankings this week, at least.
Maryland would appear to stand
a good chance to move up from
the No. 2 spot it has held for
severa! weeks.
Maryland'S power, plus a series
of great goal-line stands, simply
were too much for Alabama.
The issue was decided early, as
it turned out, when Halfback
Chet Hanulak cut loose on an
electrifying 81-yard touchdown
run on Maryland's second run
ming play of the game.
The Terps added two more
touchdoWnS in the first half

and then settled down and DEM

BY the Associated Press

Senator Wiley, Republican, of

despite adverse reaction abroad
congressional Investigations of

But Senator Mansfield, Demo-
crat, of Montana predicted that

of our congressional investiga-
tionS."
He said this is being exploited
by Communists and is con-
tributing to the widening gulf"
in allied cooperation at a critical
time.
ADA Blasts Expose.
IT want respectfully to urge
the thinking people in allied
lands to adopt a more under
standing attitude toward the
United States congressional in
veStigationS of subversive activi-
ties in our Government, Senator
Wiley added. Il hope they will
understand that the American
people have been shocked by dis
closures of Communist penetra-
ton of high offices of our land
and laXity in failing to clean
OUT SOVleC agents.
THE fact of the matter is
that whether or not foreign re-
actions improve or worsen, our
United States Investigations are
not going to be stopped by any
thing"
Americans for Democratic ac-
ton said. meanwhile, the White
case "threatents to make the
United States Government the
laughing stock and the despair
of the entire free world"
In a letter to President Eisen-
hover the organization urged
him to appoint a non-partisan,
non-political committee of out
standing citizens to study the
whole problem of national Sc
curity and civil liberties.
Criticism Unjustified.
Senator Wiley said that while
congressional committees have
"a perfect right to proceed to
fulfill their legislative respon-
sibilitieS as they see them" he
hopes that his colleagues will
recognize the widening gulf
between this country and its
allies.
He said this was caused by diff
ferenceS in procedures, libel
laws and in the climate of pub
lie opinion" here and abroad. He
contended foreign critics are not
justified in attempting to portray
this country's actions as witch
hunting" or "hySteria.
II for one would like to convey
to allied peoples that the United
States has not for one moment
leSSened its deep devotion to
constitutional liberties, to our
traditional freedom and to our
basic philosophy that man is
innocent until proven guilty" !"

He said the survey showed
that in most big cities, juvenile
addiction has decreased. The ex-

Rocky Mountains in areas where
penalties for dope peddling are
light.
Juvenile addiction to mari

cases in 1851 to slightly over
5000 cases in 1852. 1t was di-
vided on a basis of so per cent
marihuana to 40 per cent heroin.
The addicts reported in the sur

custody for possession of dope
rather than for peddling.
He described juvenile dope
addiction as moderate" in
