RaySOn Strikes At
His Opposition

Congress is dragging it's
heels in passing good labor
reform legislation like the Ken
nedy-Ives Report and Disclosure
Act and the HEALTH Welfare,
and Pension Disclosure Act"
charged Leland Fl. Rayson,
Democratic candidate for Con-
gress, 4th District, at recent
meetings in Chicago Heights,
Harvey, and South Holland.
at is disturbing to know that
Republicans in Congress are
trying to bury this legislation.
Could this be because these
Republicans are willing to let
good legislation wither now so
as to give them new opportuni-
ties next year to write in anti
union curbs? ?"
Rayson felt that the legisla-
ton as passed is sound, but not
perfect. He indicated that this
legislation goes far to guarantee
honesty in the operation of pen
sion funds, is designed to curb
the type Of shocking abuses
disclosed by the Senate Labor
Rackets Committee, and at the
same time it preserves the best
kind of democracy in union
organization. eff this legislation
meets these detectives, why
can't the Republicans support
it? This is no time to defeat
something purposeful in order
to cripple the JAW, whose
record of honesty, good account
ing procedure, and ethical dem
ocratic organization is of the
highest calibre."
"My opponent has never stat
ed his position on this labor
legislation nor has he told us
where he stands on right-to-
work legislation stated Mr..
Rayson. Rayson is opposed to
right-to-work legislation.

thousand dollars. He also said
that the Housing Authority
would not be able to complete
their portion of the Kedzie ave.
drainage at the present time
because of shortage of funds.
The Housing Authority con-
tracted to complete that portion
of the ditch from both street
to the tracks.
The attorney suggested that
special closed meeting be
called for the Village Board and
the Zoning Board of Appeals.
The time was set.
Meeting adjourned at 9:20.

The Case OF Mr.. WORTHY

The State Department has lifted the passport of
William Worthy Jr. press and radio correspondent
who it says visited Communist China and Hungary Gin
violation of the limiting and restricting endorsements
contained in the passport and in wful disregard of de-
cared United States foreign policy The question raised
here is not whether the State Department should have
the right to determine where American citizens should
travel nor whether in making such determination
should have the right to scrunize their political beliefs
What is involved, and what doubtless led Secretary
Dulles to uphold the decision of the Passport Office is
question of integrity Under existing law and regula-
lions traveller accepting an American passport agrees
to abide by the conditions stated in the document Mr.
Worthy On his own admission violated this understand
ing, and according to the State Department will not
promise not to violate again. the case goes to the

did not. - -

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT 1t is generally agreed
that the discussion of money
draws an attentive audience whe-
Their the said subject is being aired
on the reclining slopes of the
Congo River, or the noisy border
table in the back of smoke filled
cafe where too high hamburgers
are SHOWED gracelessly across the
boards by waitress who had none
OF the qualifications for the posi-
ton save the quenchless thirst for
money, which incidently, was the
topic for conversation where we
gathered with the brothers about
moontime last Saturday night. 1t
was noted that none of US had an
abundance of the stuff we were dis
cussing, which of course made us
all authorities on the means of &C.
quiring, saving, and general usage
of the long green stuff with the
short future. After everyone pre-
sent had bored everyone else with
how he had made and lost fortune
three or four times, we started tel
ling the truth, and as usually hap
pens, we came to an harmonious
agreement ere the last frosted
bottle of beer was parked by the
aforementioned waitress. The one
thing that all of the brothers of
the Saturday seccion was agreed
on, was that there is nothing evil
about money. If you think there
is try getting along without it for
a week or two. Try telling your
butcher that you can't pay for the
steak he just cut because you don't
have any of that evil stuff called
money, or, better still, when you're
in church Sunday, drop a note in
the collection plate saying that
money is evil and the deacons
should be ashamed of themselves
for encouraging such a practice in
church. Or, tell the rent man, tele-
phone man, light man, gas man, in
surance man tell anybody.
Tell them you have concluded that
money is evil and you shall no
longer be found in its company,
or it in yours, and see if you can
win single convert to your side of
the argument. Now it was agreed
that certain people take money and
do evil things with it, and that
there are evil ways of getting it
was affirmed, but the brothers
shook hands on it and you can
believe it or not but there amt
enc thing evil about money, and
the sooner the brothers and sisters
wake up to the point where they
lays little by every now and then,
the better.

Easter, 1858

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
Where there is hatred let me SOW love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is sadness, Joy"
The prayer of st. Francis of Assisi-which copied
from religious calendar a Methodist friend of mine
sent me-is in itself of the finest of Easter mes
sages.
For what is Easter but the feast of resurrection?
The raising of the spirit above the trials of the flesh
the fulfilmen of the law of love- 1t the
ton in the body of Him who said And the second and
greater commandment is like unto it-Thou shalt love
thy nelghbor myself.
To make peace permanent we must do as st. Fran
els prayed: Where there is hatred, let love-
Let keep thoughts clear of hatred and anger
Let look with eyes of love upon brothers every
where.
"Where there is injury pardon 1t is hard to forgive
intentional wrong done. Yet-few people mean
ngly cruel. Ignorance and carelessness back of
most of the evil do And cannot try to say He
said Father, forgive them, for they know not what
they do"
Where there is doubt, faith" We say "In God
trust" But is that enough? Must not we, if truly
trust God, learn how to trust brother man?
Where there is despair hope" There is always to-
morrow-and the will shine again matter how
deep the midnight He, whose heart has faith,
be without hope-without the light of belief
in beneficent God who in due time will show the path
way to better day.
Where there is sadness, JOY Easter is the prom
Use that weeping may endure for night but JOY coeth
in the morning. No matter how great the sorrow, the
promise of resurrection brings strength to the failing
heart
All these things we pray this Eastertide-but not
for ourselves alone We pray "Our Father" and our
prayer must be for all men everywhere Only in this
way may keep Easter
