By CONGRESSIONAL QUARTERLY
WASHINGTON, d. CA panel of
II experts last month began a
searching inquiry in to Uncle Sans
hoard of strategic war materials, an
accumulation so vast it dwarfs even
the bullying stockpiles of surplus farm
goods.
AS part owner of this STA billion
inventory (your individual share is
worth slightly over $4O), you may
wonder, along with the experts:
Whether, in the age of nuclear
weapons, five-year supply of every
thing from abrasives and agar through
vanadium and zinc should be kept
on hand at all times?
Why part of the stockpile, repre-
senting $217 million investment by
the taxpayers, is not legally available
to the President for use in an emery
ency?
Why, in the last half of 1856, the
government spent three times as
much on purchases of two metals al
ready in adequate supply as it did
on meeting the minimum needs for

From LABOR'S DAILY

ANN ARBOR, Mich.-Unless the
Eisenhower Administration d o e S
something about unemployment the
nations jobless will jump close to
100000 in 1858, a University of
Michigan economic analyst has
warned the fifth annual conference
on the Economic Outlook.
Daniel B. Suits, assistant professor
of economics, said that data compiled
by a university research seminar
indicates a 100000 increase in un-
employment next year and puts the
overall figure at 100000, nearly
z per cent of the nations work force.
''The energy with which corrective
government action might be pursued
if unemployment develops naturally
could affect this forecast" Suits said.
"For this reason, our forecast may
be proven wrong simply because it
was right in the first place"
The record of the first five years
of the Eisenhower Administration in
dicates, however, that nothing will be
done to meet this sharp boost in I'M
employment. In fact, the Eisenhower
administration has let it be known
that the Republicans will continue to
follow policies which cause further
unemployment to give the economy
what the President likes to call ga
breather".
Suits said that the unemployment

ACTION FOR TODAY
REASONS FOR TOMORROW

At the request of K. Ross Toole,
director of the historical museum,
the Council agreed to record their
deliberations. Toole, appearing be-
fore the group Tuesday morning, said
the historical society had been able
to secure the files of the Little Hoover
Committee, previous interim group,
and had found at many points they
wished they knew why and how men,
bers of that committee had reached
their decision. He said ''your work
here involves generations not years,
and your deliberations will be more
crucial than the final documents
themselves.
He told them this sort of thing had
never been done before, and the his
torical society would abide by what
ever restrictions the Council put on
release of the material, which will be
tapped during committee sessions and
put on wax for permanent storage.
With some trepadition the Council
voted to accept the offer They furth-
err directed their executive secretary
to draw up a tentative agreement
with the historical society, to say the
records will be sealed for ten years,
irrevocably, except by unanimous
consent of all living members of this
Council still residing within the State
of Montana. After 10 years they will
automatically become public prop
erty.
Some members of the Council did
not think it was necessary to seal or
put under wraps any recording of
their deliberations; some said they
should be made available to any sue
ceeding council; others thought the
presence of the recorder and micro
phone would make them extremely
sensitive and conscious of everything
they said-perhaps overly careful. In
accepting the offer on the terms laid
down this week they agreed after
some experience with their own re-
actions to the recorder they could
better evaluate their ultimate dis
posal of the permanent record.
The Council said they intend to
carry on as much of their business
as they deem advisable in public

ers. was appropriated 100000 by
the Legislature. b
An operating problem Immediately
evident to the Council is the posi-
bility they will be regarded, as SEN
ator Robert Durkee (D-HilD stated,
"as a sort of sub-treasury" by groups
working on problems of vital interest
to government.
This problem, not yet resolved by
the Council, arose when the Taxation
and Education Commission said they
could use, maybe, $4,000 of Council
funds to help pay for the Peabody
Institute Survey (total cost $13,OO0)
of elementary and secondary schools,
and again when the Committee for
Education Beyond High School sought
from $4,000 to $4,000 for limited
survey on the college level.
The Council discussed the compli-
cations that are forseen by such fl
nancial commitments.
The Legislative Council is respon-
sible only to the legislature. The
Taxation and Education Commission
is responsible to both the legislature
and the Governor. The Committee for
Education Beyond High School is re-
sponsible only to the Governor.
The interest of all three groups
in factual material is identical.
Under the law creating the Legis-
rzcI
point subcommittee or task forces
composed of private citizens or pro-
fessional technicians in their pur-
suit of facts. However, if the Coun-
Gil provides the money, should they
be the ones that determine final
recommendations, whether to the
legislature or to the Governor?
Are the other groups willing to SUBJ
ject their identity to that of the
Legislative Council, by being sub
junctive to the council?
Each group as they go deeper into
their project find exciting, intriguing
and interesting possibilities. The only
stumbling block is money.
The legislative council beginning
their work with uncommitted funds,
looms as a 'sub-treasury" and the
golden door to accomplishment, by
eager. dedicated but unfinanced
groups.
Some council members expressed |
the feeling there would not be much |
controversy over final recommends
tions. because the two groups will |
want council approval before going to
the legislature. Whatever their final
are, it was said,
"they know if we object they will
have trouble in the legislature.

The Laymen's Role

most Catholic colleges and universities simply
do mot compare with those in, say, philosophy
or history or literature.
Beyond this, it should be remembered that the
goal of having laymen take a more active role IN
Catholic life in the United States will not be
reached in one giant step, by official proclama.
ton, but in a series of small steps which could
and should begin Immediately. Last year, for
example, Cardinal Stritch Of Chicago, urged the
establishment and strengthening of parentteach-
er groups in p~arochial schools. This is the kind
of thing We mean.
The Church is not a democracy, except in the
classic sense. that a laborer's son can wear the
robes Of a Cardinal. Questions of dogma and
morals cannot be settled by counting noses. But
in the normal parish, especially in connection
with the parochial school, many purely practical
questions arise on which parents might very
well expect to be consulted When a pastor or
principal settles such matters unilaterally, it is
no doubt quicker and more efficient" in one
sense. But if the long-range goal is active par
t~icipation of the laity in the apostolate of the
Church, that sense of participation will first have
to be built in a multitude of such small but sig
nificant ways.
eve are coming into the era of the layman,"
Father Sheerin says. Right now, however, it
seems to us that the relationship between clergy
and laity in this country suffers from an obvious
culture lag" Before this can be overcome many
lay people will encounter priest after priest who
thinks the layman's role is to be seen on Sunday
and not heard, ever. Many priests will have to
suffer laymen who arc more jealous than pru-
dent, more eager than informed, more nuisance
than help. But such inconvenience must be borne
as part of the price we must pay in a period Of
transition from one era to another.
Above all, we need TO give more thought to
the vision of the Church we are communicating
to people today. If we must all bear witness to
Christ and the Church, we must think seriously
about the nature of that witness. Today, for
instance, we think many people get a highly
distorted picture, seeing the Church only as a
kind of policeman sort of international Watch
and Ward Society, intent only on banning movies
or burning books or boycotting stores.
Here, surely, is a major consideration. There
can be no question of altering or watering down.
the Church's teaching. But every age is tempted
to emphasize this aspect or that to the detriment
of something else, and our age is no different.
People know the Church through us. If so many
get a distorted picture of the Church, all the fault
is not, surely, in the eye of the beholder.
