Controversy In
U.S. Settled,
Pope Believes
CASTEL GANDOLFO. Italv,
Aug. 13 ijpy Pope Pius XII said
today he believes the controver
sy between rrancis Cardinul
Spellman and Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt over the question ot
federal aid to Catholic schools
has been resolved satisfactorily.
The Pontiff expressed this
opinion in a special audience giv
en five American newspaper cor
respondents at his summer resi
dence here.
The Pope, answering a direct
question, first replied that the
matter was too delicate for com
ment.
Then he added he had teen
the exchange of letters between
the New York ArchbishoD and
Mrs. Roosevelt in a Rome news
paper and that, from them, lie
thought the controversy was re
solved satisfactorily.
The controversy concerned the
Harden bill in Congress, whl'.-h
would provide $300,000,000 feder
al aid to public schools. The Car
dinal called it anti-Catholic be
cause, as Introduced by Rep.
Harden (D-NC), It excluded pri
vate and Catholic parochial
schools from assistance for
Health and transportation serv
ices. He said In a statement July 22
that Mrs. Roosevelt had support
ed this idea in one of her news
paper columns and thereby
shown an attitude of discrimina
tion "unorthodox of an American
mother."
Mrs. Roosevelt replied she had
"no anti-Roman Catholic bias,"
but would stick to her belief in
the principle of church-state sep
aration. Later on Aug. 5, the two re
stated their positions in state
ments Issued Jointly by the chan
cery of St. Patrick's Cathedral.
.Mrs. Roosevelt called the Cardi
nal's statement "clarifying and
fair."
Governor Langlie,
Pension Union In
Torrid Dispute
OLYMP1A, Aug. 13 (JP Pen
sioners and their leaders, who
wrangled yesterday with Gover
nor iangue, claimed a verbal
victory today and prepared to
continue their fight to restore
cuts in state welfare funds.
The estimated 250 members of
the Washington Pension union
and associated groups "march
ed" on the state capitol in char
tered buses and private cars.
After the heated meeting in the
overnor's board room, thev
had pungled up $259 in response
to an appeal for contributions to
a "fighting fund" and to meet
expenses of the march."
William Pennock, pension un
ion president, said $169 was do
nated for the pending court ac
tion seeking restoration of reduc
tions in general assistance
grant; The remaining $90 was
to help cover the cost of converg
ing on the capitol.
Jefore regrouping In the CIO
hall, the delegation declared that
Langlie "was beaten" In the in
terchange of words with Pen
nock, Tom Rabhitt, pension un
ion vice president, and others
in the crowd.
The governor denounced the
nenslon union leaders and said
that "While you may think other
wise, he (Pennockl has never
helped you in your life but ne
will wreck. If he gets a chance,
any sound program for our needy
people of this state."
Pennock demanded, In a letter
read at the opening of the meet
ing, that Langlie call a special
session of the legislature to en
act new taxes, liberalize unem
ployment compensation, estab
lish a public works program,
grant new appropriations to car
ry out provisions of initiative 172,
and memorialize Congress to rec
orpize and open trade relations
wah the new government of Chi
na. The governor replied that the
legislators might decide at a spe
cial session to reduce expendi
tures Instead of raise taxes, caus
ing the pensioners to suffer fur
ther reductions in their welfare
payments.
