PROPOSED CHANGES HAVE
SEVEN OBJECTIONABLE
FEATURES
Destroy U. S. ownership rights
to uranium and other radioactive
ores found on public lands;
Permit private firms to own
atomic energy reactors;
Allow AEC-Hcensed firms to
own large quantities of fashionable
materials without specifying any
broad security regulations;
Weaken Aces responsibility
to search out new processes for peace
time atomic energy use;
Weaken the original acts anti
monopoly provisions;
Permit Acc to license its atomic
reactors for as long as 25 years; and
Open up normal patent rights,
not only for medical, chemical, indus
trial, and farm uses, but to trans
form atomic energy into electric
power and even to make fashionable
materials.
''In none of these cases is so-called
normal patenting either safe, wise,
logical, or likely to encourage de-
velopment," Voorhis said. Private
firms would be tempted to patent
process, mot so much to use it as to
keep others from using it. 1t has
happened before. Pigeon-holing pa
tents should be avoided by every
means if we expect progress"
BOON TO MONOPOLY
"To pour the newest and strong
est wine mankind ever tasted into
the old patent bottle invites the prob
ability of monopolistic developments
dwarfing anything we have ever
SEEM" Voorhis said. Under the pro-
posed bill, he said, U. S. taxpayers
might pay $14 billion to develop
atomic energy in the first place, to
help finance monopoly control over
their own energy in the second place,
so they would be forced to pay
monoplistically fixed prices for its
use in the third place"
Using atomic energy to produce
electric power, Voorhis said, is diff
ferent from using it in research or
using radioactive materials for medi-
cal purposes, industrial processes,
printing, and to combat farm pests
and plant diseases. Control of
nations source of power is tanta-
mount to control of that nations

"Using atomic energy to make

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
The Presidents proposed sharing of
atomic know-how abroad "could open
a door of hope to a nearly hopeless
humanity" one of the nations top
coop leaders told the House-Senate
atomic energy committee May 49,.
But we shall not benefit other peo-
pie unless we first make progress
ourselves" and proposed changes in
the basic atomic energy legislation
will actually hinder peacetime de-
velopment, he said.
Jerry Voorhis, the Cooperative
Leagues executive director, said
atomic energy belongs both by right
and by purchase to the American
nation" With atomic energy firmly
entrusted to a responsible public
body-as Atomic Energy Commission
was originally conceived we might
achieve a far broader base for a
genuinely free economy than we
have ever had in all history" Voorhis

A Climax Unendino

ticularly prayer to Our Blessed Mother
AS the thousands of us crowded our parish
churches last Sunday and reviewed the Marian

proof positive of what dedication and prayer to
Our Blessed Mother mean.

Whenever the natural man takes look at the
world he thinks OF his nations foreign policy;
whenever Christian takes look at the world he
thinks Of the Missions. OF the two visions the Chris
an gives the truer perspective for what is history
but the unfolding of the drama Of Redemption?
On October oath which is known as Mission Sun
day the Church through the Pontifical Society for
The Propagation of the Faith, will ask all its faith

II is interesting TO compare the foreign policy
ri Russia and the United States in relation to the
Missions The United States foreign policy has
centrated Europe its outer defense against
Communism. Russia has concentrated on the Eastern
world as its major offense for bringing the world
under the blows OF its hammer and the cuts of its
sickle As Lenin said "the shortest route to Paris
runs through Peiping"
In other words. Russia and the Missions are
meeting in the East the Missions seeking to bring
It into the Mystical Body Of Christ, the Communists

Events will prove that the Communists we're wiser in
their foreign policy than the United States for the
key to the future lies in the East If American
foreign policy had been as farsighted as the Mis-
sion policy; If il had sought TO bring prosperity and
freedom to the East, as the Missions bring healing
and the sacraments the world would today live less
IN fear and more in peace
AS il stands, the only opposition the Communists
are meeting in the East is the Missions of the
Church. That is why for the sake of the world
peace, they deserve not just the support but the
sacrifice, Of every Catholic when the collection

WASHINGTON-Tne demon
stration against intcgration stag
ed by pupils in some of the local
public high schools was a case
of few individuals doing a
grave disservice to the many.
The demonstration has been
the biggest local story in recent
days. It has been an important
story, but moi a great one. II
has been a sad story.
Judging from conversations
one hears, and from letters read
ers are sending to the editors of
local newspapers, the incident
has provoked a good deal of
thinking.
For example, the point has
been raised that a few adoles-
cents, acting on their own, have
discarded for the Nations Cap
ital distinction in which is was
beginning TO take good deal Of
pride. The honor has been lost ir-
revocably, and the prepCnder-
ance of this city's residents had
nothing to say about il.
The distinction lay in the fact
that integratiOn was being
achieved here with a minimum
of difficulty. II had been intro
duced successfully in Catholic
schools of the city several years
ago. Now, this fall, it was being
put into effect in the public
schools. President Eisenhower

things were going. Government

we could make things work out
with no trouble at all.
Suddenly, all this was thrown
away. The, people of Washing

consulting them, some youths
had peremptorily taken the cap
ital from this high position.
1t has frequently been sug-
gested in recent days that the
school boys and girls we're not
acting entirely on their own.
Some have said that they were
implementing preiudieeS that
they heard their elders voice, pos
sibty at home.
This has led some to inquire
as to what has happened to the
discipline that used to mark our
homes and schools.
People have said that, well,
since it seemed bound to happen
some time, il was a good thing TO
get it over and done with, But
this brings the quick observation
that il didn't have to happen at
all.

of the word. On the contrary,
the, authors deliberately refrain
from making any policy recon-
mendations in the field of tax
legislation and are Scrupulously
neutral in the field of partisan
politics.
Politics aside, this new volume
by Messrs. Buffers, Thompson
and Bollinger is required read
ing for those who wish TO form
an objective opinion on tax leg
islation. 1t is not, nor was it in
tended TO be, the final answer
to. the political controversy re-
ferred to above. Nevertheless, in
the words of the publishers abb
stract, it does furnish "the basis
for empirical generalizations in
an area previously characterized
by theoretical speculation.
Two of the empirical general
nations" are particularly import.
ant. The authors seem to have
established the fact that while
there are literally hundreds of
thousands of investors in the
United States, the investment
decisions of individuals in the
upper income and wealth class
es are of overwhelming import
ance" CThey estimate that APP
proximately 65 or 10 per cent of
all marketable stock held by
private individuals is owned by
family spending units with net
worths in excess of a quarter of
a million dollars.) And they con-
clude that while the relatively
high taxes of recent years have
substantially reduced the capac-
ity of upper bracket individuals
to accumulate new investible
funds, . their remaining ca
pdcity is still Uery Iarge-much
larger than generally supposed.
These findings are not cited
as an argument against tax re-
duction for investors. Neverthe-
less they have an important bear
ing on the question. They openly
contradict the theoretical spec
ulation" of those who say that
high taxes have dried up or ex-
hausted the supply of new in
vestments. And unless and until
they are corrected or refuted,
these findings will have to be
accepted as the best available
starting point in all future dis
cussions of this phase of tax
reform. There is no longer any
excuse for the guess work which
has so often characterized dis
cussions of this subject in the
past.

re-reading of that sentence, for
it constitutes striking sample
of Red distortion.
What Cardinal Spellman did
at the American Legion Conven-
tion. which occasioned this Will
ficati0n, is to advise the Amer
lean people OF the truth, He
warned them of what the Com
munistS constantly say to them
SelveS-namely, that this is the
period of world revolution or
world conquest from the Soviet
viewpoint And in that period,
Soviet Russia and its satellites
are the bases for the overthrow
of the government of all non
Soviet nations. That is precisely
what Stain states on page 81 of
the Little Lenin Library edition
of Foundations of Leninism."
This world conquest is Specifi-
cdllg to include the Uiolent oper-
throio Of the government Of the
United States, as Stalin sets
down on page SIS of the same
