A Call To Action.

New York therefore was forced to pass this

In making his announcement OF the forthcoming
release of this picture DR. Hissong noted that "in
conforming with The decision OF the United States
Supreme Court in reversing the decision OF the New

other alternative except TO release the picture
'IaRonde" for general exhibition in Ohio"
This picture" Dr. Hissong points out has

Home Thoughts
Or The Lack Of Them

mo good American family should honestly have
TO be ashamed of its home, President Eisenhower
stated to Congress last January. He followed this
self-eyident principle with request for legislation
providing for 100000 units OF public housing at
rate of $4,000 per year for four years. Last week
the House Appropriations Committee recommended
that 10000 be started in 1854 and $4,000 in 1885
with the program TO end there.
AS We go to press We have just read the House
Rules Committee overrode this recommendation
and eliminated even the $4,000 units Even these
would have been only drop in the bucket since
conservative estimate places the need for public
housing units for oWncome families at 100000
per year for number OF years.
We can now place the wreath the tomb Of
public housing II is dead and buried for years if
not forever. This will bring mixed reactions Joy
from and grief from others, for this question
il controversial one
The end OF public housing TO meet future needs
does not mean that we no longer have housing
problem. What is the problem? The family of four
living IN one room can tell you tan actual situa
tion). The family of six which slept in sutomo
bile for ten days while looking for place 10 live
can tell you The family OF five which lives in
hovel with only the bare earth for floor tell
you. So can the teen age girl whose home was so
poor that she ashamed to bring her friends
into il and who was arrested recently for theft
All these actual situations within 25 mile
radius of Columbus and could be multiplied end
leSsly. The problem is still with us.
Worse than the housing problem, however, is
the widespread apathy towards IT, Those who suffer
from the lack of housing for iowncome families
are almost poweress TO help themselves Those who
don't need housing just don't seem 10 care about
those who do They don't seem To be able TO
that their nhoused neighbor is another Christ. who

We eloquent over the need Of promot-

juvenile delinquency. We only pay lip service,
however, 10 the promotion Of decent housing How

ture successfully"
Not long before his death, Guy
Irving Burch, founder of the
Population Research Bureau. Inc,
said in a signed editorial in
Population Bulletin:
1T is generally agreed by stu
dents of population that the most
important element in any pro-
gram of population limitation is
the discovery or invention of a
simple, safe, and inexpensive
means of birth control that can
be effectively used in rural dis
tricts and in industrially back
ward countries"

this theme in its Sunday issue
of February 81, in which it
states: Dulles support of q
revived German wehrmacht was
and remains the single biggest
obstacle TO peace and agree
ment."
Now, the chief argument made
by our Secretary of State for
permitting Red China to be pres
ent at the coming Geneva con
ference was that we gained in
other spheres at Berlin, and no
tdblg IN regard to Germany. II
is now evident that there was no
such gain, and the Soviet pro
paganda throughout Europe
against ''the resurgence Of Ger
man militsrism" is proof of that.
Through many sources, including
as usual some outstanding non
Communist newspapers, France
is being reminded that it has
military alliance with Soviet
Russia. signed during world
War ii.
The New Situation
To sum it all up, the kremlin
demonstrates clearly that il will
not abide by any terms save
those which it imposes. Clearly,
il plans at Geneva to work upon
the weakness of Britain and
France, using them as blug-
geons to beat the United States
into surrender on all points. If
the Secretary of State will not
agree, he will be denounced as
an agent of international Nc
Carthyism.n
The setting for that event is
already arranged in the instruc-
tions TO the Soviet fifth column
in this country to take advan-
tage OF the new situation 10
broaden the struggle against
McCarthyism so as TO defeat
American international poll
cies." Nothing is more evident
than that the hue and cry about
"AleCarthyism," generated in
much of our general press. has

lation BY the United States TO

LOUIS f. BUDENZ
COurting A Craze Disaster

26. The Communists have stimu-
lated this hysteria - as they
stated they would do at their
secret national conference" in
September - in order to force
the United States to agree to
Soviet international plans.
We have reached a point, in
approaching Geneva, where lGe
must kRot1 lUho are actually oar
allies. This is essential to our
future national existence.
Nothing Learned or Gained
Nothing deserves more con.
sideration in this respect than
the request made to MIR. Dulles
by the American China Policy
Association on March IA through
its president George S. Schuy-
Ter. That organization urged
the Secretary of State to recess
the forthcoming Genera confer
ence where delegates of Soviet
Russia and Red China will be
seated. There is nothing to be
learned from such conferences.
Mr., Schuyler 5 letter said.
Every past conference has re-
suited In some concession to the
Reds, major or minor, and either
by no concession by them or an
agreement quickly broken"
Such request has more force
because it is precisely in line
with the excellent assertions of
Walter r. McConaughy, new
director of the Office of Chinese
Affairs in the State Department,
to VIII ch | referred several
weeks ago.
We can also ask again: Why
is ii that the United States con
stantly falls victim to proposals
which are m ounting up our
defeats at the hands of the
KrenSlin? 1t is due. first of all,
TO the painful disservice TO
American security and to edu-
cation on Communism in our
secular press, with some honor
able exceptions. 1t is also due.
and above all. TO the lack Of
knowledge of Communist tech
niques on a wide scale among
American community leaders.

A Crusade OF The Suffering

Father Faber once wrote that sacrifice is
peculiarly the Christian element Of holiness; and IL
is precisely the element which corrupt nature dis
likes and resists" Our fallen natures do resist
and try al all TO avoid sufferlpg-and yet it is
q commodity of great worth in the spiritual life
Sunday, the Church begins the solemn season
OF Passionide. She presents To uS the picture of
Christ and His Passion. His unspeakable sufferngs-
and what they gained for Us.
This is the all-embracna and final proof of
the value Of suffering And vel We seldom trans
late this lesson into lives To place posi-
tive value suffering for ones self let alone
for others i hard lump for moderns 10 swallow.
The Church teaches that suffering does have
. place and valuable place IN the lives of mod.
erns. The Church tells us that some souls are won
b. kindness and good example. Some are brought
to the light of Faith by prayer But many souls
she teaches US receive the graces Of conversion
only BY the sufferinss Of others endured with
love for them.
While the world says evil men ought TO suffer
the Gross Of Calvary proves that the good must
suffer for the bad This truth Is not an aneshetie
