of Boston is larger than that of
any Massachusetts, city. Arch
bishop Cushing added: "our re-
lsfions with fhe public school sU-

catholics are not opposed to
public Schools" the Archbishop
went on. I'VE must always have a
great interest in them. More than
half our children are being educat-
ed in them and we pay taxes for
their support.
At the same time, we believe
that religious and moral training is
essential in the formation of char
acter. Since this cannot be given
in the. public schools because of
the diversity of religious beliefs,
we build our own schools at ire
mendOus sacrifices while joining,
whenever possible, our non-Catho-
lie friends in a released time pro-

 A Seattle Times correspondent in Washington said an Interior De- partment spokesman suggested the Aiaska Railroad as a possible az eney to step into the shippfng breach If the Alaska Steamship Co. drops it's service after the sunI- mer season. The railroad. under it's organization act, has broad author lty to do anything to develop the Territory The spokesman said. however. the railroad undoubtedly would prefer hiring an agent to run ships for tourists during the summer season if ships were avail able.
 Tollefson's announcement of the Seattle hearing emphasized con cern over failure to keep shipyards in operation in the interest of To- cal economics and possible national defense needs. The Congressman said he expected five members of the House committee to meet in Seattle.

 Every day of shutdown brings closer the time when it will no long be feasible for the compan- ies 10 operate profitably. the spokesman said.
 'If this dispute goes on for an other week, the bulk of the good salmon run will be over and by time companies could get back into op- eration it would be a losing propos- ition."
