added that Regulation tn ed

It is clear to all who read
and think that the persistent
pushing by the Roman Catho-.
lie hierarchy La the United
States to obtain public funds
for its parochial schools is in
direct opposition to our basic
law and the wishes Of a nom
Catholic majority.
Not only the preservation Of
our public school system but
the peace and future welfare
of this Nation demand that
there be no rapprochement
whatever between the Gov
eminent and any ecclesiastical
body or its representatives. II
we wish to give up our free
doms. substitute Roman Cath
Ollie canon law. and destroy
our public schools. we can take
a lesson from the current sit
uation in Belgium on just how
to do it and with a knowledge
Of what may inevitably fol-

Lest the public be fooled by
Archbishop McIntyre's warm
ing that Regulation in edu-
cation quickly leads to tyr

the Archbishop is merely

Fathers intended to be nom

In his letter captioned
Freedom of Education" r.
Joseph makes q lame effort
to equate the political situa-
ton of the American public
schools with that Of those Of
Russia.
Such an effort to smear our
public education usually
stamps its author as a pro-
fessional enemy of our schools.
Nearly all Of these antagonists
are members Of our largest
anti-education group - that
composed of the Catholic hin---
archy and the more easily
misled portion of their laity.
This groups highest pertinent
dogma is: Catholic children
may not attend non Catholic,
neutral or mixed schools /. .
and it pertains exclusively to
the Ordinary Of the place to
decide, in accordance with
instructions of the Holy See,
under what circumstances
and with what precautions
against the danger of perver-
sion, attendance at such
schools may be tolerated"
Could any totalitarian de-
wise a tighter system of
thought control? And further,
by utilization its non-incon-
siderable political influence,
the group has succeeded in
evading many of the legally
required inspections that
would insure the fulfillment OF
the minimum requirements of
our compulsory education
laws. Holton Il. Small.

Anticipating the heavy load Of tax
questions which will fall, on the House
Ways and Means Committee when Con-
gress reconvenes, the Treasury Depart
ment has submitted recommendations
and a suggested draft of legislation cal
culated to stimulate American capital
investment abroad. This objective is
basic In the administrations foreign
economic policy, and this approach is
only one of several which have been pro-
posed or already undertaken The last
session of Congress, for example, APP
proved our participation in new Inter-
national Finance Corporation which will
Join with private enterprise In provid-
ing venture capital in underdeveloped
countries.
Actually, tax concessions already are
granted on income earned In other coun-
tries of the Western Hemisphere, and the
pending recommendations would set up
comparably favorable conditions for
other foreign earnings. The current
Treasury Department proposals would
implement recommendations made first
by President Eisenhower in 1854 and
repeated in his foreign economic policy
message of last January. In brief, the
plan has two major provisions. One
would authorize a lower tax rate-in
keeping with the foreign rate-on bust
ness income earned abroad. The other
would defer American tax liability on
earnings of foreign branches until such
earnings might be repatriated. Earnings
of subsidiary companies abroad already
receive this favored treatment
In making its recommendations, the
Treasury has recognized the danger of
abuses Of the proposed concessions and
has proposed set of precise definitions
by which eligibility would be established.
It has also urged careful study to see that
large business enterprises do not gain
greater advantages than smaller ones.
The expansion of capital investment
has been recognized as potential help in
raising living standards in underdevel-
oped countries and in promoting world
trade. Among the discouragements to
greater flow of American capital, however,
have been the tax disadvantages which
have enabled local capital or even capital
from other foreign investors, to operate
at lower liabilities. There have been
cases, too, where foreign countries have
raised their rates on American earnings

Firing Policy Clarified.

It has long been the complaint of
some Federal administrators that civil
service red tape hampered them In getting
rid of incompetent employees. The COM
plants have been based on several cases
in which appellate proceedings dragged
along for year or more before the en-
ployes finally were fired. In most such
instances, however, the delays resulted
from official confusion over laws govern
Ing dismissals. The United States Court
Of Appeals now has cleared up the con-
fusion through ruling which makes It
plain that Justified firings can be ac-
compliShed expeditiously.
The new ruling is in line with pre-
vious court support on the right OF the
Government, as an employer, promptly
to rid the public payroll of ineff1cient or
otherwise undesirable workers. This right
had been unquestioned under the Lloyd
Lafollette Act of 1912, which set up GER
tain procedures for dismissing undesir-
able personnel But in 1850 Congress
passed the Performance Rating Act,
which, among other things, hxed a 90
0dy PC4AOo VI SAdCC AO4 CAAP4OJCo dSSA0CA
Of unsatisfactory performance" Of their
duties. During this time the employe
was to be given every opportunity to i'm
prove his efficiency rating.
A Navy Department employe fought
his dismissal under the 1912 act on the
ground that the 1850 act gave him the
right to 90-day period for improvement
and for appeals. The department pointed
out, however, that more than "unsatis-
factory performance" was involved and
contended that the earlier law was the
only one broad enough to cover generally
unsatisfactory service. The appellate
court said: Though an employees ordi-
nary overall performance of duties
throughout the rating period may be
rated as satisfactory, he may still be
guilty of conduct in connection with the
execution of his official duties, either in
particular instances or in particular
aspect Of his tasks, which would Justify
dismissal . in the interest of promot-
ing the efficiency of the service" The
ruling leaves no doubt as to the authority
Of a department or agency to discharge
such unworthy employees without COM
pltcated or protracted proceedings.
