The flight of concrete steps

separated the shower stalls last

of Down Maine Dudley's Yankee

One last pool note: There is a
rule that Women MUST wear
bathing caps. The filters just
can't take these long lovely
tresses. If you can't stand a cap,
just shave your head.
This procedure was also recon-
mended by the hair stylist at
Beauty Land, in his demonstra-
ton for the Homemakers I and
III Clubs at his shop behind
Woolworths. A reliable source
reports that he glamorized half
a dozen of the club members with
a few deft strokes so completely,
they went home feeling like peo-
pie instead of homemakers, but
he answered their most urgent
request "for a hair style that
looks good before, during and
after swimming with no
effort" with a sigh. There isn't
any such hair style.

Who is Really Responsible

problem. In fact it only in
flames the business man who
resents always being cast in
the role of the bette noir. The
situation calls for an ironic ap-
proach. We should be as much

II one searches such publ
cations as Steel, Management

constant refrain can be found.
Wage increases, they agree,
are not necessarily initiation
airy, but there is such a thing
as wage initiation. This is de-
fined as a general rise in prices
that results from the push of
increased labor costs rather
than the pull of monetary de-
mands.
Wage increases become in
flationary when they exceed
the increases in productivity.
The argument is simple. If the
increase in production per
worker through improved tech
biological efficiency is passed
on to the worker in exactly the
same proportion, there is no

lures. It can also force the
banking system to reduce the I
volume of loans and invest
ment, and make money and
credit as tight as it chooses
through Federal Reserve poll
cies. In the face of these re-
strictive pressures initiation
can be brought to a quick halt"
There is no question that the
Government can stop initiation
with the tools it has, but would
the cure kill the patient?
Would these controls throw us
into a period of large scale un-
employment?
In this case initiation would
be the lesser evil. Another un-
resolved question is how much
initiation can our economy
stand? We have had real pros
perity during periods of mild
initiation. Ones view on this
is usually tempered by ones
basic economic philosophy.
Plus xi'S PLAN
In any case it seems to this
writer that the problem should
be viewed as something big
ger than a feud between the
houses of labor and manage
ment. Everyone is involved -
management, labor, the govern
ment and the public. What we
lack is the machinery to bring
all the interested parties to-
gether. These groups should
be organized and have a forum
where delegates of the groups
can meet and make the re-
suits of their mature delibera-
ton public policy.
This idea is not novel. We
are merely putting flesh and
blood on the Industry Council
Plan of Plus XI. If the reader
wishes to pursue the matter,
he will find the plan outlined

The most basic of all i'm

The second basic impulse is

The Washington Letter
Meeting Of Bishops Surveys
Multitude OF Questions

WASHINGTON - This city
was host to a meeting this week.
The Capital has some $50 ma
tional and international conven-
tons each year. But this one is
different from the rest. It is
an annual gathering, and in
some respects is one of the
most important held in Wash
ington.
Upwards of 10 cardinals,
archbishops and bishops came
together here. They reviewed
the work of the National Catho-
lie Welfare Conference during
the past year, charted a pro-
gram for it to follow in the IL
months ahead, and discussed
many other matters of common
interest.
The air in the Nations cap
ital at the time was thick with
talk of Sputniks ] and ii, guided
missiles, anti-missile missiles,
the upcoming meeting of the
NATO powers, rumors of i'm
pending developments on the
international stage, charges and
counter-charges by the polite
ally minded, talk that war is
near, talk that war is remote
and numerous predictions about
what Congress will do when it
convenes in January, if not
sooner.
But the prelates met in an air
of academic calm. on the cam
pus of the Catholic University
OF America. They brought to-
gether in one place the scholar
ly opinion of every section of
the United States. One wonders
ii there could be any better
sampling of American thought
for so relatively small a gather
ing. II is to be doubted if more
business is transacted by any
other meeting in a comparable
time. The prelates discussed
long and earnestly matters re-
lating to Catholic education, the

WASHINGTON - (NC)
"A rankin Catholic
theologian t h i n k S it is
nonsense" to be senti-
mental over the fate of
the dog in Sputnik Ii, whirling
through space 1000 miles above
the earth.
Redemptorist Father Francis
j. Connell said in an interview
that the theological principle
involved in conducting tests on
living animals is that if these
experiments can benefit hui
man beings, they are perfectly
permissible"
The dean Of the School of
Sacred Theology at the Catholic
University of America here said
that such tests are acceptable
because zone human life is
UNNECESSARILY more valuable
than the lives of many ami
mails" ..
Protests over placing the
small dog in the second Red sat-
elite amount to ~"sentimentality
gone astray, a deplorable diver
sion of values" Father Connell
declared.
The theologian said he wish
ed that those who protest so
loudly over the dog would make
their cries meaningful land
protest the exile, torture and
death of the hundreds of thou
sands of persons who have been
victims of communist tyranny"
However, he cautioned that
1t would be sinful to cause un-.
necessary pain to animals, be-
cause this would be "a per-
vsrse use Of Gods creatures"
and would foster sadism and
cruelty in those who would act

need to increase the price of
the product. The hard facts
point to wage increases exceed
ing productivity gains.
The technique of presenting
a winning argument to the
public is to make it as simple
as a slogan. Labor says the
root is inflationary profits;
management says it is infla-
tionary wages. And meier the
twain shall meet.
-. BOTH YOUR HOUSES

a case could be made out by
saying: "A plague on both
your houses" Professor Solo

COMMERCE writes: "The Fed
eral Government through its
budgeting policy and through
its monetary arm - the Fed
eral Reserve System - has the
power to stop a general rise
in prices. 1t can do so with or

This brings the series of
meetings to a close.
But between Monday and Fri.
day there will also have been
meetings of the archbishops and
bishops making up the boards
of trustees of the National Cath
Ollie Community Service and the
Bishops Welfare Emergency
and Relief Committee, and the
membership of upwards of a
dozen standing committees and
conferences. Frequently there
are special functions which the
prelates attend in large num-
bers. This year, a stained glass
window was dedicated at the
Paulist College here as a me-
mortal to Msgr. John j. Burke,
esp, first General Secretary
of NCWC. Many archbishops
and bishops also take advan-
tage of their presence here to
meet with, and counsel, semin-
arians and young priests from
their sees who are studying at
the Catholic University.
