Assembly Faces Fight
Over JobIess Benefits

;. ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 20 tAP) !.
;GOrganized labor's counter
proposal to a committee recon-
mendations on changes in
Maryland's jobless benefit pro-
gram was put before the Legis-
stature yesterday.
The introduction of two bills
by Senator Joseph v. Mach.
Democrat of Baltimore, set the
stage for oral sparring between
labor. and management next
Tuesday and Wednesday be-
fore the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee.
. Frederick c. Malkus, jr.,
Democrat of Dorchester, is
chairman Of the committee and
he. also headed a Legislative
Council committee that drafted
q series of revisions after public
hearings last summer.
Labor and committee pro-
posals will clash in three major
areas.
Labor wants the weekly bene-
fit to unemployed to equal two
thirds of what they were paid
while at work. 1t is estimated
this. would amount to an
Aserage $50.
Council Offers Less
sThe Council Committee is
Recommending the maximum
weekly benefit be raised from
xs5 to $3S.
labor is asking that the
Maximum duration of benefits
ayear be 80 weeks. The COM
fnittee offered no change in
kne present 26 weeks.
There is a wide difference
81 opinion over the penalty for
workers who quit, provoke their
discharge or refused to accept
jobs comparable to those they
lost.
Such unemployed now may
be suspended from receiving
benefits for from one to nine
weeks. But after the suspen-
sion, they are eligible to re-
ceive all the benefits to which
they were entitled originally.
Labor offered to penalize
them four weeks of benefits.
4, The council recommended
that no benefits be paid until
the person obtains another job
and earns 10 times as much as
NE is entitled to in weekly pay
ments.
Management is expected to
oppose increasing the maximum
weekly benefit and the dura-
tion.
Grants for Minors
The hearings next week also
will wrangle over allowances
for minor dependents Of the
unemployed.
At present, 50 a week up to
four dependents is allowed il
a working parent discontinues
his or her job.
The committee feels that
only the parent who is the
chief support of the family
should be allowed to make such
B claim.
Labor is willing to have the
allowances discontinued en-
tirely, but only on condition
that the Legislature approve
making the weekly basic bene-
fit two-thirds of the wages.
The workmen's representa-
tives also sought to impose
tax Of 81 per cent on the pay
rolls OF, all employees to finance
the benefits. Employees are now
taxed in varying amounts
ranging from 3 to 3.6 per cent
according to the stability OF
their working force and the
amount Of a reserve fund.
The Legislature finished ar
abbreviated work week yester-
day and adjourned so members
could take in inaugural affairs
in Washington.
These were the weeks high
lights:
Taxes-Gov. Tawes indicated
he will propose lowering the
sales tax to purchases Of Is
cents. instead of the present 81
cents, and applying it to res
taurant meals when he sub
mits his budget next Tuesday
The SO million to be raised

Let's Try To Clarity

whether people ought to be
cannibals. Not as sociology, it
can't. Religion alone can do
it.
Political science, psychol-
ogy, pSychiatry, sociology and
other secular" studies can
examine the matter of cruelty
to children or to animals. But
these fields of knowledge
cannot, in themselves, make
a moral statement about
cruelty. For that, one must
turn to religion.
SCHOOLS CAN, should and
and do approach questions
such as interracial justice, the
rights of the poor, bad dis
tribution of wealth, mistreat-
ment of labor by management
or of management by labor,
political corruption, and so
on.
But if reforms are to be
brought about, religion must
be consulted to learn what is
wrong, and how to right it.
Religion is the learning
which enables us to stand
apart from other things and
to judge them; evaluate them;
correct them; arrange them
in proper order, and thus
progress toward a better
world.
The plain fact is that it is
impossible for any school not
to take some stand for or
against religion and morality.
All our schools do teach some
thing about religion in some
way. But the best, most intel
ligent and most effective way
is to teach it according to its
own nature-and not to snug
gle it in under the heading Of
other subjects.

ample. Much more, however,
is needed if children are to
learn correct attitudes to-
wards money and to develop
good habits in the use of it.
Children learn best by do
ing the right things; they
must have the opportunity
themselves to use money
properly. Many families find
a practical answer to the
correct use of money in CIV
ing each child an allowance
as soon as he or she starts
school.
SHARING THE FAMILY
resources is a way of telling
a child that he is a person,
that he belongs, that he needs
money just as his parents
do. When a child shares
membership and privileges
of the family, he must of
necessity also share respon-
sibilities. This all applies
equally to those who belong
to the family of the Church.

to it that no imperialist in
terlopers interfere with this
peaceful development.
Fortunately the commun-
list world movement today,
says the Russian leader, is
strong enough to bar the
imperialists from interfering.
The biologists of imperialism
may try to divert the people
from the revolutionary path,
they may try to hitch them to
the chariot of imperialism but
the peace-loving communists
will give the revolutionists
their fullest support.
IN A SPEECH TO THE
Hungarian party Congress,
KhruShchev spoke of the
need for all communist
forces to "synchronize their
watches" Judging from the
progress of the national
liberation movement" in Laos,
the Red Chinese and the
SovietS have certainly syn
chronized their watches. Rus
STA may be jealous and fear
full of the Chinese colossus
but we have to remember
that China is not going it
alone in that war-torn coun-
try. The Soviet air-lift is do
ing its part for the "peace-

not conceivable without
Christ, which means without
the Church, in which as st.
Gregory the Great has said,
each one supports the other
and in turn is supported by
the other" De Lubac, who
quotes this definition of the
Church from Gregory, goes
on to say that "This sense
Of a common salvation and
of a fellowship of all in re-
lation to all is the best pos
Sible preparation for social
tasks = it is the best intro
duction for everyone to So
cial Catholicism"
1t can be said that this
sense of a fellowship of all
in relation to all" is one of
the principal fruits Of the
Mass, not only in the super
natural order but in the po-
litical order as well. The
spiritual force for the Ge-
velopment of this fellowship
comes from Christ, from the
Mystical Body. The great
embodiment of this force in
the world today is the liturgy
and especially the Mass,
which is Christ and people
acting together.
THE MASS SHOWS FORTH
the supreme worth of the in
dividual. The individual is
present at Mass as a divin-
lied creature, and the Mass
in turn enhances that divin-
iZation, that supreme worth.
But the individual is also
present at Mass as a member
of the group acting, Civ
ing, receiving, worshiping to-
gether with his fellow Cath
olics.
This corporateness, this
sense of a fellowship of all
in relation to all, must be
carried into the political or
der where a mans individual
contribution is more impor-
tant than he thinks it is.

Importance of a single vote,
