Thomson. WHO made the
rule for locking up witnesses?"
Mr.. Thompson denied that
any witnesses were locked up
during the Arlington hearings
last month.
In answer to q question from
Mr.. Rauh on how witnesses
we're selected, Mr.. Thomson

phone calls and q brochure put
out by the Fairfax Citizens

izatiop.

we're sometimes begun as a
result Of anonymous telephone
calls. He said he did not try
to check the source Of the calls.
Mr.. Rauf asked for O tran
script Of the complete hearing
In Arlington. He said he had
asked the Thomson Committee
for a transcript but the request
had been denied.
Mr.. Thomson said that tram
scripts Of the individual testi-
mony are made available only
to the witness himself and the
transcript of the entire hearing
Is not made available.
Probed Group Ties
In answer TO questions from
Leslie Hall. chief counsel for
the committee, Mr.. Thomson
said that the committee wanted
to find out If Mr.. Soul Is q
member Of various organiza-
tons which have used an An
mandate Post Once box listed
to him.
Mr.. Thomson said they fur
ther wanted to ind II any Of
the organizations are racial in
character, and whether Mr..
Scull had paid any court costs
and attorneys fees in connec-
ton with any school desegre-
CATION suits.
Mr.. Scull refused to answer
any Of the questions on the
grounds that the legislation
setting up the Thomson Com
mittee is unconstitutional.

Mr.. Brown has pointed out
that q number Of leaders In

Mr.. Magruder-had testified IN
Richmond In favor Of the Mon

Last night. Mr.. Magruder
said that what really famed Q

segregation announcement.
In his talk. Mr.. Brown
pointed out that this bill the

When this statement was re-
peated at the second debate
before the Fort Myer Heights

Use OF Vestments

Catholics and Orthodox priests have always
used vesments. Therefore the great majority of
Christians have always been accustomed to
them
The fact is however that vestments gradually
developed in the early Church. They most GER
tainly add to the cleanliness and dignity of di
vine worship.
The priest OF the Latin Rite wears the follow
Ing vestments during Mass
First the amice. white linen cloth placed
over the shoulders and about the neck
Second. the alb, long white linen garment
covering the body,
Third, the cincture, cord tied about the
waist,
Fourth, the maniple, short band Of cloth
hanging from the left arm
Fifth, the stole long narrow band of cloth
worn over the shoulders and crossed in front
of the body; and
Sixth, the chasuble, an outer garment cover
ing the greater part of the body.
Seventh the biretta, a zap or headdress,
black for priests. having color for prelates.
The vestments have an ancient origin, and
most of them resemble the garments worn by the
Apostles.
The colors of the outer vestments worn dur
ing Mass are:
White, which signifies purity of soul and
holiness;
Red which signifies the shedding of blood
and burning love,
Green which signifies hope;
Violet, which signifies penance:

Strengthening Joy

The Joy of Easter is ? precious, divine gift.
not overcome by passing earthly cares, the
Church reminds her children, as she bids them
listen on Sunday to the conversation between
Christ and His disciples at the Last Supper. He
was preparing them for His departure from their
midst: "A little while and you shall see Me no
longer" He said, land again little while and
you shall see Me, because 90 TO the Father
you have sorrow now, but ] will see you again
and your heart shall rejoice and your JOY no
one shall take from you" II is the eternal JOY of
heaven. of course, to which the Savior was re-
ferrng, but the disciples had foretaste of that
overwhelming Joy when He rose from the dead
and remained with them for forty days
The Resurrection was the proof that He was,
indeed, the Son of God, and that His promise of
Joy which mo one shall take from you" was
certain to be fulfilled And as we, todays fol-
lowers of Christ, spend the forty daVs after
Easter in liturgcal eommemoratlon Of His stay

Black which signifies mourning,
Rose, which signifies JOY in the midst of pen
snee; and
Gold, which is used on solemn occasions IN
place Of white red or green vestments.
White vestmentS are worn on feasts OF Our
Lord. the Blessed Virgin, saints who were not
martyrs and during the Easter season; red is
used on the feasts oi the Holy Spirit, the Pas
sion of Our Lord and martyrs; green is used
on the Sundays outside of Advent Lent, and the
Christmas and Easter season; violet is worn in
Lent, Advent, and on penitential days; black
is worn in Masses for the dead; rose may be
used instead OF violet on the third Sunday of
Advent and on the fourth Sunday in Lent The
chalice veil has the same color as the vestments.
Some of the important articles used during
the Mass are: The chalice, or golden cup, IN
which the wine is consecrated, the paten, or
godcovered plate, on which the Host is placed;
the purificator, or cloth for wiping the chalice:
the pail, or lnen-covered card, used to cover
the chalice, the corporal, or square linen cloth,
on which the chaice, etc, stand; the Missal, from
which the priest reads the prayers of the Mass;
The beeswax candles; the crucifix over the altar;
three framed large cards containing parts of the
Mass; and the three linen cloths that cover the
altar. Mass is celebrated on an altar stone, con-
tanning relics of saints and set in the table OF
the altar
Ii was the common belief in the Middle
Ages that the vestments used by the Church at
Mass and other services were derived from the
Jewish Temple.

What's wrong with that7
Nothing al all - except that
The Douglas bill would apply to
company ~ as well as union
administered funds. This seems
TO be the only reason the NAM
is opposed to the bill, Accord
ing to the NAM, it's perfectly
all right for the Federal Gov
ernment to regulate unlon-ad-
ministered funds, but the regu-
lation OF company-administered
funds should be left to the
states.
AS of this writing, the NAM
has confined its opposition to
the Douglas bill, presumably
for political reasons. The fact
is, however, that the Ives bill
as previously noted-would
also apply to company-adminls-
tered funds. Sooner or later,
therefore, spokesmen for the
NAM will probably have to
take a vigorous stand against
the Administration, which is
known to be in favor of the
Ives proposal.
We have no desire to pick a
quarrel with the National As
sociation of Manufacturers, but
il must be said in all honesty
that MANS opposition TO the
Dougias,lves proposals is IL
logical and indefensible. The
NAM has long history OF OPP
posing labor legislation and so
eial welfare legislation in the
name of free enterprise.
The NAM is entitled to its
own opinion about the mean
inc of free enterprise and IFS
application in the field of la
Dor and social welfare legisla.

should not expect to be taken
seriously when il arbitrarily
changes the meaning OF free
enterprise to suit its own con-
venience or its own particular
purposes. That is to say, If II

Under ordinary circumstanc-
es we would hesitate TO recon-
mend that the businessmen of
the United States dissociate
themselves from the position
taken by an organization to
which they belong, However at
q time when the rank-and-file
of certain unions are being
urged on every side to break
with their leaders in the inter
est of decent trade unionism,
IL would seem to be in order
to make a similar request of
American businessmen in the
case OF the MANS opposition to
the Douglas-Ives proposals.
