statement by the Pope declaring
the person a saint.
Q. Who 1gdS st. Cornelius?
A. There are several saints of
that name. The earliest is the
centurian baptized by st. Peter
at Caesarea. (ActS of the ApoS-
ties 10) According to an ancient
tradition he was Bishop of Cae-
Sarea. His feast is February 2.
Another st. Cornelius, in the
third century, was Pope and a
martyr for the Faith. Another
bishop, st. Cornelius, was an
Irish saint, Archbishop of Ar

return from a pilgrimage to
Rome.
Q. Is it WTong TO believe IN

to st. Joseph In dreams?
A. Visions, miracles and COM

place too much importance on a
dream and to guide his life by
dreams. Generally such commun-

No Longer Anti-Reliyious
These are steps in the right
direction. But more important
in the long run than any of these
revisions in the philosophy of
the SPD is the hope that the
Party's attitude towards religion
has also begun to change for the
better. Professor Schmid is
quoted by the Times as having
declared in his recent broadcast
that the SPD's traditional atti-
tude of ''patronizing indiffer-
ence" towards religion has
changed to one of respect" It
is too early to tell whether or
not this is true, but, in any case,
it is reassuring to have it pub
liclv proclaimed as official SPD
policy by an authorized and
highly respected spokesman for
the Party.
The mere fact that Professor
Schmid was willing to make
such a declaration in a public
speech is a significant and high
ly encouraging phenomenon that
could not have taken place 20
or 30 years ago. One would like
to think that the Professor was
speaking the truth. But even il
he had his tongue in his cheek
and was only making a political
play for the Catholic and Protest
ant vote of West Germany, his
statement would still be very
gratifying as evidence of the
fact that the Socialists old an
tagonism towards religion is los
ing favor with the rank and file
of the German population and is
now regarded as political
handicap.
Americas responsibilities
It remains to be seen what
the reaction of West Germany's
Catholics and Protestants will
be to this new development.
Presumably it will be one of
watchful and prayerful waiting.
Meanwhile. Americans of all
faiths would be well advised. it
seems to us. to do everything
they can by prayer, example and
timely counsel to encourage the
Socialists of Western Europe to
support the position outlined by
Professor Schmid.

Senator Maybank, Democrat,
of South Carolina, will make one
more try at cutting 5000 million
from the $5.5 billion foreign aid
appropriation bill when it
reaches the Senate floor next
week. s
The Senate Appropriations
Committee was more liberal
than the House as it voted yes
terday to allow the Eisenhower
administration $2,99O,824,816 of
new cash and authority to carry
forward all unobligated balances
from last year, amounting to
$2.5 billion. This brought the
total of new and old money
available for obligation this year
to $5.5 billion.
Higher Than House Figure.
This was nearly $95 million
more than the House allowed in
new cash. and 1863 million more
than the House bill carried in
unobligated balances from last
year.
The separate foreign aid au-
thorization bill, which still
awaits final approval in both
houses next week, fixes a ceiling
on new cash of $3,054, 1000, 900.
Thus. it will be seen, that the
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee allowed all but $64 million of
the authorized ceilin gon new
money, plus all of the unobli-
gated balances.
Senator Maybank is directing
his fire at provision in the,
bill which he says would allow
the Foreign Operations Admin
stration to put into the new
foreign aid program up to 5000
million of reclaimed military
equipment already on hand.
He argues that this 5000 mil
lion is over and above the money
total approved by the Appropira-
tions Committee and said he will
ask the Senate to reduce the
new cash by that amount.
Indo- China Equipment.

that originally there was $500

equipment. chiefly from Indo-
China, which FOA could have

Aqree on Trieste Plan
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Aug. Italy and
Yugoslavia have agreed on a
partition plan to end their nine
year dispute over Trieste and
only slight boundary adjustments
remain to be negotiated, Western
diplomatic sources said last
night.
The sources declared some
hard bargaining still lies ahead
on the exact line to be drawn
between the port city of Trieste
in the north that Italy is to get
and the southern hinterland of
the free Adriatic territory,
scheduled to go to Yugoslavia.
Officials said the final agree
ment could be weeks off but is
virtually assured. The Rome gov
ernment is now studying a draft
agreement containing the latest
Yugoslav proposals.
An agreement would clear the
way for Italy to associate with
Yugoslavia, Turkey and Greece
in the Balkan defense pact they
are to sign on Monday.
The Italian government has
been dragging its feet on ratif1-
cation of the European Defense
Community pending a Trieste
agreement. Italy and France are
the only countries which have
not yet ratified the plan for a
six-nation European army.

Government Moves
To 0verturn Decision
Of Court in Roth Case

The Government will ask the
Supreme Court to overturn a
recent ruling by the U. S. Court
of Appeals for the District of
Columbia which held that Leo
A. Roth must be reirstated in
his former position as an attor-
ney with the Justice Depart
ment.
The move was announced
yesterday in the U. S. District
Court for the District of Colum-
bia. Attorneys for the Govern
, ment filed a motion to hold up
the effectiveness of the appellate
court ruling pending determina-
ton of the issue by the Supreme
Court.
The motion was made be-
fore Federal Judge Richmond
B. Keech. who announced he
would rule on the motion Mon
day. The Justice Department
said it was petitioning the Su-
prens Court to hear the case.
The main issue is whether or
not the Executive Department
may reclassify jobs from classi-
fed (protected to non-classif1ed
(unprotected) status and then
summarily discharge the job
holder.
This was done in the case of
Mr.. Roth. whose position had
been reclassified to an unpro-
tected status. by virtue of an
executive order. Several months
ago Judge Keech ruled in favor
of the Government. His ruling
had the effect of removing job
protection from virtually all
civil service employees.
More recently the appellate
court, in reversing Judge Keech,
held that Mr.. Roth's dismissal
was in violation of the Lloyd
LaFollette Act, which specifies in
essence that CLASSIFIED civil serv-
ice employees must be presented
with charges and given a chance
to answer them before they may
be dismissed. This was not done
in the case of Mr.. Roth.

Free Food From U. 5.
To Aid Flood Victims
Behind Iron Curtain
BY the Asseeioted Press

Millions of dollars worth of
American food are ticketed for
free consumption behind the
Iron Curtain. with this country's
blessing and somewhat to its
surprise.
Although details have not yet
been announced. it is presumed
that shipments to flood victims
in East Germany will come out
of surplus Government food
stocks. This is allowed by law.
One report was that it would
take as long as six weeks to get
the relief food to families thrown
into need by the overflowing
Danube River.

tactic.
The Reds are confident that
the British will go along with
