Rooney Bodgered USIA,
Profile Author Says
By MARY McGRoRY

The indignant author of PRO
file of America" today accused
Representative Rooney. Demo-
crat of New York. of "using a
book he didn't read to embarrass
an agency he doesn't like"
Emily Davie, whose book. once
favorite of the United States
Information Agency in its over
seas program, was withdrawn last
year when Congressman objected
to it's pictures of dust storm, a
red schoolhouse and an elderly
Ischoolteacher, charged that Mr..
Rooney ''badgered the USIA un-
til it dropped its plan to send
abroad 204.543 copies in foreign
languages"
The controversy over the
Profile" began in March. 1854.
Mr.. Rooney, who told the press
Ihe had only "had an opportu-
nifty to hurriedly glance through
the book" said he thought it
was fine for American con-
sumption but when it comes to
showing foreigners what foul
balls we are, that is something
different"
USIA Chief Theodore Streibert
withdrew his request for funds
for the book before the commit
tee took any action. Miss Davie
then appeared before a Senate
subcommittee, and the book was
restored, but last July 1t was
dropped from the bill by Sem
ate House conference.
A Taft Republican
On February 81, Miss Davie,
a tall, hazel-eyed former actress,
who describes herself as "a Taft
Republican" appeared before
the Rooney subcommittee and
asked them to clarity the books
present status" or. as she said
today, ''to have this nonsense
Strengthened out"
She told the subcommittee her
book has been condemned by
sort of guilt by association" and
that sales have dropped off from
I27,282 copies in the seven
months before congressional ac-
ton to 544 copies in the seven
months after congressional &C
ton. The USIA is empowered
to distribute the book in English
only.
The book, which has fore
word by Charles A. Lindbergh
and an introduction by Louis
Bromfield, has. she told Con-
gressmen. been exhibited in a

dental expenses above S per cent
of the adjusted gross income, if
the standard deduction was not
taken. There would be a limit,
however, to this listing of medi-
cal and dental costs to $3.50
for the individual return and to
$500 in the case of the joint
return of man and wife.
The bill also would call on the
Commissioners to go ahead with
their intended plan to raise an
additional $1.8 million or more
by raising the realty tax rate
from 50 20 to $3.50 per 500 of
value, beginning July /.
1t also would provide for a
new $25 a year occupational Ii
cense fee for lawyers. doctors,
architects and engineers to per-
NIT their practice in the Dis
trict. This is expected to bring
in an additional $175,000 a year.

Mr.. Streibert withdrew his re-
quest for Profile" Miss Davie
maintains that Mr.. Streibert
withdrew the request only under
pressure from the subcommittee,
'If Mr.. Rooney chooses to use
the power of his Office to try to
intimidate and discredit the
USIA that is a matter for Con-
gress to deal with" said Miss
Davie. But when he uses my
defense of my book to achieve
this end, I must speak out. He
has succeeded admirably in
hurting an honest and useful
book, in choking off its overseas
distribution. and in putting the
USIA in an embarrassing posi-
ton. Surely it's time somebody
stepped in and put an end to
such destructive mischief"

confirmed in that district failed
to apply for confirmation. Of
those seeking confirmation, only
3.8 per cent had to be refused
because they had taken part in
the communist youth initiation
ceremonies which all Christian
churches have refused to condone.
The figures from Saxony are
believed to reflect the average
for the whole communist zone. A
Dessau newspaper, Liberale Dem
okratische Zeitung, said that
Dessau county ranked thir d
among all the counties of the So
Wet zone in the participation of
young people in the communist
youth initiation. The newspaper
asserted that 36 per cent of the
county's children had participat-
ed in the initiation.
Christianity throughout the
Soviet zone remains alive and ac-
tive despite the efforts of the
communist rulers to have all of
public life permeated with COM
munist propaganda.
In some instances, however
considerations of expediency have
caused number of peopl" to re.
linquish their church affiliations.
II is estimated that some 10000
Catholics leave the Church each
year and the number of Catholic
baptisms is somewhat decreasing.
In the Soviet zone there are an
estimated 2,166,000 Cath o ! | C s
served by 1,500 diocesan and re-
ligious priests.
Those, however, who are true
to their faith appear to be more
fervent than ever. Evidence of
this was given by a pilgrimage of
the deanery of Eberswalde to the
former Cistercian monastery of
Chorin in which 1000 people, in
cluding many young men and
women, took part

government of the western zone
still continues to perform this
traditional service.
In many places divine services
may no longer be held in public
school classrooms, although the
churches in the areas, destroyed
during World War II, have not
been replaced. The faithful read
lily lend their apartments for re-
ligious functions even though
they become liable to punishment
under communist laws for doing
it.
Wherever catechism classes are
held the children attend freely al
though it often means an incon-
yenience to them since the class
es may no longer be held as part
of the regular school curriculum.
Public posters announcing re-
| ligious events are not permitted.
The people nonetheless manage
to pass religious announcements
effectively by word of mouth.
Death notices carrying a refer
ence to religion are not accepted
by the Red-controlled press. But
religious funerals attract censid-
erable crowds just the same, be-
cause the faithful inform each
other when a public announce
ment of the death of one of their
friends is made impossible by the
communist directive.
Even the communists begin to
realize that some of their prac-
tices hit snag. A court in Suhl,
Thuringia, recently rejected some
$4,000 divorce actions filed by
husbands who pretended that
their wives "were far behind in
social development" causing ''in-
compatibility" The court ruled
that the husbands themselves
were responsible, for not helping
their mates to become better
communists.
Atheist propaganda continues
on a large scale. Recently plays
ridiculinr religion were staged in
East Berlin and Dresden. Atheist
literature Is also being widely cir
culated.
