THE YARDSTICK
Priests get all sorts OF calls

In the current discussion of the
problems of the American Church 1t
is often assumed that one Of the ma
jor difficulties is that there is no COM
munication from the laity TO the
clergy.
Such an assumption, however, is
not true because the clergy hear all
kinds of things from the laity. I'M
fortunately, they hear from the wrong
kind of laity.
With some obvious exceptions the
people who communicate with the par
ish clergy tend to be cranks, the
crackpots, the n~eurotics, the malcon-
tents, and the confused.
THE RELATIONSHIP between the
parish priest and his people seems
to be so formaliZed that the intelli-
gent parishioner with an understand
Ing of what the Church is and the
kind of problems the parish faces
does not feel at ease stating his mind
while the uniformed and the fanat-
ical experience no such problem.
The clergy get letters from people
who think that a sermon on Mater ct
Magistra' Is part of a socialist plot.
They get phone calls from racists who
grow obscene over a talk on racial
justice. They hear from the man who
is upset because the parish is not run
ming a program for preschool chill
dren ("baby sitting service').
They hear from the parent who
thinks it is highly unreasonable for
the football coach not to be starring
her son or from another parent who
cannot understand why the priest
does not cancel Sunday afternoon
Baptisms to attend a grammar school
basketball game.
They get complaints about the
Church being too hot or too cold-on

made, it is still not too late.
Despite the somber spirit of Adj

Why this sudden change of empha-
sis? 1t is true that we have not yet
arrived in the liturgy at the birth of

The early Christians observed Ad-
vent as a forty-day period of mortifi-

as r~efraining from meat, butter. milk
and eggs.
Even then 1t was not as strict a
penitential season as Lent-but strict
enough according to present day
standards.

mot all farmers are TO be blamed.
Not all groups are dishonest. But the
system itself has gone wrong. All too
often braceros and citizen migrants
have been treated shamefully.
Our job today is to prove to ur-
selves and to the family of nations
that we are worthy of survival. Lip
service to human rights no longer has
value. The Doth century has caught
up with those unworthy stewards who
publicly proclaim liberty and justice
for all, but privately try to massacre
both liberty and justice for minority

One Travel Problem
The Senators have only one

the present plane schedules
Washington would not be able
to leave Los Angeles until after
midnight, and would arrive in
Kansas City around 6 am, and
have a double header there
that day.
On the three trips to the
West Coast, the Senators play
a Sunday game here and q

The American League sched-
ule, released today. reveals a
rugged April schedule for the
Senators, who in 16 of their
first 10 games play teams which
figure to be in the first di-
vision.
The schedule also includes
four double-headers with the
Yankees, which is good news
for the business office, If not
for Manager Mickey Vernon.
In addition to April 20 and
August l twin bills with the
Yanks at the D. c. Stadium,
the Senators play double-head-
ers at Yankee Stadium May
6 and July %.
The April slate will leave
Vernon little time for expert
menting. After the three-game
home stand against Detroit,
Washington goes to Cleveland
for the Indians opening day
and three more games.
The Senators visit Detroit for
two and return home to meet
Baltimore in a three-game Sc
rieS. After three games in Bos-
ton, they're at home with the
Yankees for four games. The
three games with the Red Sox
are their only April date S
against clubs picked for the

In the Fourth Ward O strict watch was
kept upon some wellknown election strikers,
and few persons were disarmed of conceal.

secured by the police were bowie, two pis.

In the afternoon a somewhat serious dis.
turbance was prevented by the timely inter.
ference of the mounted provost guard. A
young man named Bernard Donnelly was in
restaurant on Sixth street, near Louisiana
avenue, where II is said he drank toast to
JEFF. Davis. A bystander struck him, and a
crowd rushed upon him He ran followed by
the crowd, into Dennis coach factory, on 9Th
street, where he works. The crowd were in
the act of rushing upon him with stones when
the mounted guards arrived. Four young men
were arrested but were dismissed, nothing
appearing against them. DOnnelly, we
hear, denies positively that he drank the
toast alleged or uttered any disunion senti.
ments He says his assaiIants were BaIti-
moreans, and had personal grudge against
him.
About o'clock a person named John
Bresnahan attacked a gentleman at the cor

lame, walking with q crutch and cane. Bres-
nahan struck him from behind, but the lame
man turned and dealt him blow with his
crutch, and broke it in several pieces. A

nahan was badly thrashed. This morning the
case was laid before Justice Walker, who

attacked our troops on the right flank of that

line, gave way unaccountably. -. This caused

in bringing across Gems. Sedgewick and Rich
