and he appealed to the Supreme
Court. Mr.. Savoy argued that
the United States was liable to
Filipinos for such supplies, be-
cause the guerrillas were rec

States fighting strength.

One of the worlds pioneer
international airlines, whi C h
made its postwar return to the
skies last June, has asked the
public to name its Super G
Constellation liners, and also
provide a slogan. The company
is Lufthansa German Airlines,
which began to get the feel of
the air again with the loan"
of Trans World Airlines pilots
and expects to operate II trans
Atlantic flights weekly between
the United States and Europe
during the coming season.
To be certain the public is
interested to the point of coming
up with catchy and appropriate
ideas, Lufthansa is offering a
number OF prizes. Top award,
according to an announcement
by Lufthansa's chief United
States Office in New York. is a
round-trip flight to Europe for
two and an expense-paid week
in Germany. That will go to tn
entrant supplying both the best
name and slogan.
Runner-up will win q 1856
Volkswagen de luxe sedan, car
that has captured the fancy OF
q number of Americans. There
also will be other prizes.
Dual Idea
The slogan. says the Luf-
thansa announcement, should
embody the airline's "outstahd-
ing service and early pioneering
in air transportation" Not that
this will help too much, but the
type of plane to be named is a

which is not permeated by a sense
of duty to each other and to God,
is not the love upon which endur-
ing homes are built.
But the Catholic Church teaches
that marriage must be what God
meant it TO be. and He made it
not only a contract-but a Sacra-
ment.
When the marriage of a man
and woman is a Sacrament, they
receive title to all the divine helps
necessary TO overcome the disap-
pointments and difficulties of
domestic life They are thus better
able to overcome personality diff
ferences better able to deal
Justly with each other better
able to understand the many prac-
teal problems of living together.

Z The Real Secret of \
\ SUCCESSFUL marriage i

Advice on how TO be happily mar
ried was never so freely available
as it is today.
Marriage problems are openly
discussed in newspaper columns
and on the radio. Marriage advice
is available from the man next
door, who speaks from experience
-. and from the psychologist,
whose views come from study and
research. There is no topic =. from
etiquette to fidelity =. on which
advice and counsel are not avail
able.
Yet with all this marriage edu-
cation, the modern divorce rate
continues at an appalling high!
This condition obviously is not
due to Ignorance of the so-called
facts of life" 1t cannot be at
tributed to economic problems,
for good times have been repeat
eddy marked by a high divorce
rate. Nor can it be blamed on the
excuse of personal "incompati-
bility," which SO often appears in
divorce petitions.
These and other practical prob
lens undoubtedly contribute to
marriage conflicts. But the basic,
fundamental cause of marriage
failures goes deeper. 1t is the fail
ure of many people to realize the
true meaning of marriage to
recognize that it is a lifelong
union of man and a woman
TO see that its main purpose is the
begetting and rearing of children.
In Catholic eyes, marriage is,
first of all, a contract which as
with all contracts must be
governed by justice. A purely
sentimental and physical attrac-
ton between man and a woman,
