amendment to pass during this
Congress.
Senator Hill said because of
neglect of our schools, millions
OF Americans are growing up to-
day unable to read and write.
Even more important. he as
serted. is the failure to train and
develop what he termed "our top
talent"
IF we're to have scientists in
this modern age of jets, rockets
and H-bombs, they first must be
trained and before that their in
terest stimulated in our second
airy schools"
TRAINED ENGINEERS
He compared the $4,000 en-
gineers who will be turned out
in the United States this year
with the $4,000 trained engineers
anticipated this year in Russia.
That's three-to-one in their
favor" he added. Russia also
is turning out a quarter of a
million non-engineering techni-
clans, the United States only
10000 this year."
These facts are being brought
to light by reputable surveys. he
explained, "all crying out to us
that we're losing the race for
survival"
Russia, Senator Hill said, not
only is training the great rank
and file Of citizens, they also
have highly trained scientists
and technicians.
IF we continue to neglect our
schools" he said, five years
from now the Russians will be
ahead Of U.s."

Economical fresh fruit has many
uses during the holiday season.
Among the best choices for decor
alive fruit bowls are apples, tan
gerines, bananas, Bose and Anjou
pears, Emperor and Almeria grapes
and oranges. Tangerines, oranges
and apples also are excellent for
gifts and will help dilute the candy
content Of Christmas stockings.
Fresh cranberries for sauce and
avocados for salads are other fruits
that can be included 20 good adj
vantage on this weeks shopping
list.
Vegetable supplies are good, so it
will not be hard to round out the
holiday menu once the meat has
been selected. Celery, sweet pota-
toes, endive. leafy green's, turnips
and white potatoes all are fairly
low in price this week. Artichokes,
mushrooms, parsnips, eggplants
and radishes are other vegetables
in the good buy class, and each
one offers many possibilities for
dressing up" holiday meals with
that something special" that is
appreciated so much at this time
Of year.
Festive holiday dinners are long
remembered. Most Of us want to
select foods that are of top quail
ty but still "good buys, since our
pocketbOoks are a little thin after
buying presents. The list of best
values this week includes many
foods that are very easy to pre-
pare and many that are traditional
for Christmas.
Since turkeys are in the spotlight
at Thanksgiving, many families
prefer ham for the main. course
Of their Christmas dinner. Either
one is a good choice. Other main
course meats for Christmas that
are both economical and attractive
include: crown roast of pork, pork
loin roasts, picnic shoulder, baked
chicken and roast duckling.
Entertaining can be easy during
the holidays with ready-to-serve
meats for buffet-style meals. Cold
sliced ham or turkey and ground
ham patties are easy ways tolserve
meat LEFT over from the big Christ
mas dinner. Among the other cold
cuts you may wish to have on hand
are salami, bologna, braunsWeiger.
luncheon meat, sliced olive and
pimento loaf and tongue.

The group in question is a sub

The staff of the subcommittee,
Senator Eastland says, studied
nearly thousand treaties and

The staff found that in the
38 short years since the Soviet
Union came into existence, its

to virtually every country to
which it ever gave signed prom.

with neighboring states and then

friendship and then cynically
broke those promises. II waS vio-

signed with the United States at
the very moment the Soviet en-
voy, Litvinov, was putting his sig
nature to that agreement, and it
is still violating the same agree
ment in 1855. 1t broke the prom
iSes it made to the western ma
tions during previous meetings
at the summit in Teheran and

ments offered TO it by the Unit

II violated the charter of the

eouS to the Soviet Union.

" ASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON-A study or.
dered by Senate group raises
the question whether it is worth
while at all to enter into any
new agreement with Soviet Rus
Sia.
II makes public a monotonous
record of USSR violations Of
treaties and agreements with
other countries, and asks these
two questions; ..... ..
'Is the signature Of any com
muniSt government on any docu-
ment worth the paper 1t is writ,
ten on? .s.....
- when communist govern
ment does sign an agreement,
what can non.communist nations
do to see that the agreement is
kept"
II then hastens TO observe:
Until we can find satisfactory
answer TO these questions, it is
futile to direct our efforts toward

documents which have been sign
ed and violated by the USSR and
other communist countries.

ment will be formally approved
by an overwhelming majority.
After that, it will be all over
but the shouting
And from the sound of things
at this early date, there is go
ing to be a lot of shouting about
the pending merger and especial
" about its real or alleged pc
litical implications.
Not So Naive
Critics of the merger have
already started to say that its
underlying purpose is to bring
the Government under the con-
troll of the labor movement. The
General Counsel of the National
Association of Manufacturers is
reported to have made this
charge in so many words at
recent Industrial Relations lnsti-
tute sponsored by the Unlver-
sity of Wisconsin. He was an
swered on the spot by another
member of the panel, Al Hayes,
President of the. AFL's Interna-
tional Association of Machinists.
MY answer to these allega-
tions or fears :, said Mr..
Hayes, lis that the organized la
Dor movement has no intention
of weakening or destroying el-
ther our economy, our free en-
terprise system, or our form OF
government. And | add with en-
phasis that we are not so naive
as to do this unwittingly."
Name-Cstiing
This controversy with respect
to labor's political intentions is
likely to be stepped up progress
sively until the elections of SO,
after which it will probably Ia
per off a bit. Meanwhile the con-
troversy will do no great harm,
provided its principals make a
reasonable effort to stick to the
facts. Unfortunately. some of the
individuals and organizations
currently engaged in the contro-
versy have already begun to re-
sort to calling, based on
gossip and hearsay.
A front-page article in the
July is issue of an influential
Washington newsletter is case
in point. This article says, among
other things, that Walter Ren-
ther "reportedly aspires to run
for President on labor party
ticket in 1860" and then adds

stands out the model of true neighborliness, of
real Christianity.
Christ made il plain that there is binding obll-
CATION upon all of us to act AS the Samaritan did
in the presence of human distress, for only thus
fulfill the great Commandment whose OBJ
is essential to salvation: Thou shalt love
the Lord thy God . and thy neighbor as thyself"
The priest and the Levite who fastened past the vic
tim of the robbers perhaps felt they had legitimate
excuse for not aiding him; they could aege motives
of prudence that there more important bus
mess that demanded their attention. they might
have felt that the mans relatives. the public
authorities had direct responsibility to look after
him; yet Christ pronounced judgment that it was
the Samaritan who proved himself neighbor,' and
that il is the Samaritan TO initiate.
Does not this teaching of the Christian duty Of
aiding the distressed have special meaning in
our day. when the victims OF injustice and misfor-
tune and nhumanity many? Does not this

Inquiry Corner
Heatey

Q. What should person do If
he failed to make his Easter
dutq2
A. The Easter Time in the
United States extends from the
first Sunday of Lent to Trinity
Sunday During that time every
Catholic. who has made his First
Holy Communion must receive
Holy Communion. 1t is mortal
sin if he deliberately neglects
to do So IL the time has passed
he should go to Confession and
receive Holy Communion as
soon as possible thereafter.
q. Does one ever haze hard
luck if someone wished it. Is
that a san?
A. Simply wishing someone
bad luck" would be sinful, but
it would scarcely cause them to
have it, For someone seriously
to pray or earnestly wish that
God would bring evil upon some
one would be a curse. Some
times the evil of war or pestil-
ence was sent by Gods consent
as punishment and for the
purpose of awakening the afflict-
ed 10 their sinful complacency.
Except by special inspiration of
God whereby holy person might
call down, by earnest prayer TO
God, some temporary misfortune
for the persons own spiritual
good, no one could ever wish
hard luck" for anyone Even
this case would be rather diff
cult to judge. Although many of
lis observe that sick spell or a
temporary financial loss may
change the whole course of a
persons life for the good we
would scarcely dare wish such
misfortune to them, 1t it is wish
ed out of hatred, of course, it
would be very serious sin.
Q. Do parents haze to divide
their money equally among
their children
A. No. While parents should
not pick favorites or show pref
udice against any child they are
not bound to treat their children
with exact equality. When the
children are grown and indie
pendent of the parents the help
given 10 them Gf it happens that
the parents ere financially we'll
off should ordinarily be based
on their needs. If one child has
married, has a large family, suf-
fers from i'll health, etc, it
would be reasonable for the par
ents to help him and his family
more than another who had no
particular need of help. The
children have no absolute moral
or legal right TO the money or
property of their parents, and

two to three thousand. In An

Sibly another thousand are scat
tered here and there, especially
in the north along the Black Sea.
In the rest of Turkey there are
no Catholics at all.
In Ankara, the two Catholic
churches or parishes are located
on property of the French and
Italian embassies and serve, in
large measure, the needs of the
diplomatic and foreign colony in
the city. Here in Istanbul there
