The Week in Religion
By Religious News Service

The Roman Catholic Church
Is fighting for the existence Of
its school system In Argentina,
Belgium and some parts of Ger
many. Strong steps are being
taken by church authorities
against government measures
that threaten the entire struc-
ture of Catholic education.
In Argentina the Catholic
hierarchy has twice within q
week addressed q Joint letter to
the government protesting action
against church schools and
church-controlled religious in
struction In the public schools.
Catholics throughout Belgium
demonstrated against govern
ment proposals to reorganize the
educational system and reduce
subsidies to church schools. A
riotous demonstration took place
in Brussels yesterday.
Pope Voices Protest
Pope Plus XII himself has
protested the threatened aboli-
ton of state-subsidized denom-
national schools in several areas
of Germany.
Target Of the papal attack is
a law passed by the Lower Sax
ony Legislature late last year.
It abolished confessional schools
and replaced them with a system
Of interdenominational schools.
Also under fire is proposed law
In Bavaria that would end state
subsidized UNCONVENTIONAL teach
ers' academies.
Pope Plus, in a message to
the Catholic bishops of West
Germany, charged that both the
Lower Saxonian and Bavarian
measures violate concordats
with the Vatican which guaran-
teed the existence Of confession
al schools.
It was the second message
on the subject by the Pope to
the German hierarchy in three
months. t

Catholics Fight to Preserve
Their Schools in 3 Countries

This week, the Pope's view
was backed up by the West
German government. It was
announced In Bonn that the
government had instituted ac-
ton against the Lower Saxony
government for breach of the
1888 concordat.
Chancellor Adenaur and his
West German government have
repeatedly upheld the validity
OF the concordat. The Lower
Saxony government is expected
to argue that the pact was
valid only for the former Ger
man Reich.
The Argentine hierarchy,
alarmed over measures taken by
the Peron government against
Church-controlled education,
launched a series of protests
last week.
In a joint letter to Gen. Peron
the nations % archbishops and
bishops said many of the
church's 1000 schools would be
forced to close unless he sus-
pended a number Of recent gov
eminent measures against them.
Subsidies Affected
Among the measures cited was
one under which government
subsidies to church schools are
being reduced or eliminated.
Also protested were the DEGREES
by which hundreds Of priests
and nuns on church school STATS
have been discharged or trans
ferred to public schools.
The protests have now been
followed by a Joint pastoral let
ter. to be read In all Catholic
churches Of Argentina today. It
denounces various measures
taken by the government against
the church.
In Belgium Catholics have
been aroused over q series of
pending bills affecting govern
nent aid to church schools. The
measures would affect the gov
srnment's subsidization of free"

paid by the two Municipalities. These employees
have not been appointed by the Legislature"
Your question is whether these employees" should be
paid from funds Of the Government Of the Virgin Islands for
the period after January 10.
The word these in relation to employees evidently re-
fers to the employees as hired by the respective Legislative
assemblies of the Municipalities before the New Legislative
Assembly took office as provided for in Public Law SIT pass
ed Ey the 83rd Congress Of the United States.
To answer your question specifically and without at
tempting at this time to answer the entire question, we will
lrestlict this decision to merely these employees.
Section 6l) Of. said Public Law SIT gives to the Legs-
llature AL the authority and attributes inherent in legisla-
tive assemblies
Each legislative assembly has the inherent authority to
organize itself not inconsistent with the General Law. This
Includes the power of selecting its own presiding officer,
clerks and committees, presenting its rules Of procedure and
in doing whatever is essential or ~expedient in the exercise
Of the powers conferred.
From the formation. of representative government the
general rule has been that the legislative body hastthe power
to choose its own speaker from its own members and to APP
point its own officers and employees.
Section 6(g)of said Public Law SIT states that aThe rules
of the Legislative Assembly Of the Virgin Islands existing
on the date of approval of this act shall continue in force and
effect for sessions Of the legislature, except as inconsistent
with this act, until altered, amended, or repealed by the
legislature This section refers only to the rules and cannot
be construed to include either officers or employees.
Bill No. 2 as passed by the LIST Legislature Of the Virgin
Islands Of the United States in regular session, 1855, is not
an appolnt1ve piece Of legislation but rather an appropriation.
Therefore, these employees that have not been an
pointed by the legislature organized January 10, 1855, should
rot be paid from either Virgin Islands Funds or Federal
Funds.

GET RIGHT WITH GOD TO-
DAY.
The World loves its own
The Holy Bible tells US so
How about these church members
Telling lies from door to door.
Jesus said for his people to Love
Ye One Another"
That one is hard to find today
And another is just the same
And leading weak ones astray.
There is no condemnation for the
House of Worship
Christ church is the christians
| heart
Stop fighting denomination today
i And keep the people standing
apart.
Why stand leaning over at Heav-
ems door
i Jesus says you can't get in
You are one of them bastards
claiming him
And never been born again.
Why polish your childrens brains
today
And allow them to go to hell
It's because you failed to train the
child
And spared the rod as well.
My Father and Mother have pass
ed and gone
They are in the grave beneath the
sodded clay
They did not spare the rod on me
And allow me to go astray.
With bad investments | wandered
away
Tho Mothers prayers saved me
And she did not spare the rod
And it cause my soul to be free
What a wonderful blessing to know
God
In the departing of your sins today
And believe on Jesus Christ
For his blood on the Cross that
way.
He redeemed US with his blood you
| see
None other were fit to die
Except Jesus Christ the Son of
God
With the power of his Father on
High.
We have got to be brothers and
sisters
Jesus is the door way for US all
When Heavens door is closed
You need not call at all.

Proposal ToAdmit
Negroes ToD.C.
Bar Fails

Washington, D. c., Feb. by
the narrow margin of II votes, a
proposal to admit Negro lawyers
to the District Bar Association
failed recently.
Immediately after the meeting
was adjourned at which the vote
was announced, a petition was cir
culated calling for a new refer
endum.
Although a majority of 65.7 per
cent of the eligible voting men,
bership voted in favor of the ad-
mission of colored lawyers, the
move failed to get the two-thirds
majority needed to carry the pro-
.posal by changing the bylaws
to eliminate the word white" in
membership requirements.
The actual vote was 1925 for
admitting Negroes and 639 against.
Although only 1864 voted on the
question, actual membership of the
association is $3.50.
In 1850, a similar proposal to
eliminate the white" requirement
was soundly defeated. At that
time, only about as percent were
in favor of the change.

ing in cities and states where au-
thorities in control have a consci-
entious desire to abide by the May
II decision of the U. S. Supreme
Court outlawing segregated
schools, according to A. M. Rivers,
Jr.
Rivers, Carolina correspondent
for the Courier newspapers of
Pittsburgh, made the statement
here at North Carolina College last
week in a forum appearance in
Duke Auditorium.
The reporter started a $1,000
mile tour Of southern states just
before the opening Of school last
fall. He was in Delaware, Mary
land, Washington, D. c., and West
Virginia at the time of the first
reports of disorder attending the
implementing of the decision.
In Maryland and particularly in
Baltimore, which may be regarded
as a pilot city, Rivers says 40
schools out of 172 are integrated.
"Negro teachers are employed in
several schools where there are no
Negro students without incident.
The professional Baltimores by
the handling of the disorders in
Washington and police DEPART
ments of the two cities could be
used as blueprint for the future
by other cities with similar prob
