Newspaper Page Text2 Th Nswi-Revlew, Roseburg, Or Mon., April 24, 1950 Priest Balks At Altar On Being Raised To Bishop VIENNA, Austria, April 24-C.T) A Roman Catholic priett cried he wa "unworthy" yesterday and abruptly, walked out on church ser vice! at which he was to be ele vated to the rank of bishop. Thousands of spectators, includ ing Austrian Chancellor leopold Figl. g a p e d as Msgr. Franz Jachyra stopped short before the altar of famed St. Stephen's church and declined to take the oath. (Already dressed in the robes of a bishop, the 40-year-old priest told Theodore Cardinal Innitier he felt himself unworthy for the high office. As bewildered chursh ofli sials tried to persuade him to re- vone ine aemsion, Msgr. Jachyra strode from the church without fur ther explanation. Cardinal Innitzer, head of the Roman Catholic church in Austria, commented after the service he was at an "absolute loss for an explanation of Dr. Jachym's strange behavior." Other church officials, however. recalled Msgr. Jachym's pale ap pearance ana were inclined to at tribute his action to overwrought nerves. Msgr. Karl Dorr, pastor of St. Stephen's, said "we are just to honor the decision of a brave and humble conscience." Msgr. Dorr recalled that Saint Ambrosius and Saint Gregor had resisted the appointment as bishops of the church because of Uieir humility and added: "This office, especially In the present time, burdens the one who holds it with a responsibility that at the decisive moment Dr. Jachym did not consider himself up to the task. Nobody but the ixiru anows wnai is Happening in person'! soul at such a moment."

Billion Cut In Foreign Aid Aim Of Republicans WASHINGTON. April 24.-OP)-Senate Republicans today lined up a series of amendments to cut the $3,732,000,000 foreign aid bill by as much as Jl.000,000,000. While they were pressing their drive on one side of captol hill, a faltering economy campaign seemed slated for a sidetrack in the House, at least temporarily. In the foreign aid debate, Sena tor Kem (R-Mo.) proposed the billion-dollar slash, saying in a week end statement that it would oe "folly for us to continue to throw our money around like drunken sailors." Senator Hickenlooper (R.-Iowa) proposed a WW, 000.000,000 cut, tell ing reporters that red-ink spending at home is increasing and "we've just got to stop spending more than we take in." Senator Tydings (D.-Md.) made it clear that the administration is counting on the world threat of Communism to speed approval of a full foreign aid authorization. Republicans have called for re ductions of at least a billion dol lars in the appropriation measure but their drive for cuts has been unable to get up steam. The House thus far has msde re ductions totaling $8,700,000, or less than one per cent of the amount of the items considered.

Four city de tectives were assigned full-time to the case. Six bombings, most of them vio lent blasts that alarmed a wide area, have gone unsolved since the first occurred 13 months ago. Dr. Buchanan, a Baptist minis ter, said in part: "I think it's time for the right thinking citizenship of Birmingham to begin to mobilize sentiment again behind the forcesof decency and law and order, to bring jus tice to these irresponsible crimi nals . . . "If the local police authorities are not able to find the violators, they should call upon the state forces and if necessary the federal forces to apprehend these law vio lators."

Feather-bedding scheme of Firemen's Union to put an additional fireman on diesel locomotives has been v fjD Is s Fact Finding Boards appointed by Presidents Roosevelt and Truman have said these demands were "devoid of merit" and they were n m Now the Firemen's leaders seek to paralyze railroad transportation to compel the railroads to employ a wholly unnecessary additional fireman to ride on diesel locomotives. This scheme is plain mm UUULMJU ii iii i U LblAJ TO 1 Leaders op the Firemen's union have called a nationwide strike atarting with four great railroads on April 26. These) railroads are the New York Central, Penn .ylvania, Santa Fe, and Southern. The union claim that a second fireman ia needed on grounds of safety is sheer hypocrisy. Safety haa been dragged into this dispute only in an unsuccessful effort to give a cloak of respectability to vicious feather-bedding demands. After a careful study of the first de mands of this union, a Presidential Fact Finding Board on May 21, 1943, reported to President Roosevelt that there was no need for an eitra fireman on diesel locomotives. Again, on September 19, 1949, after a second hearing on the union leaders' de mands, a second Board reported to Presi dent Truman that: "there presently exists no need for an additional fireman . . . upon either the ground of safety or that of. efficiency and economy of operation.' Safety Record of Diesels ia Outstandingly Good Although the railroads accepted the Board) findings, the union leaders have brazenly rejected them. They represent that an extra fireman b needed for "safety" reasons, Herat what the Board had to say on that point: "The safety and on-time perform ance of diesel electric locomotives operated under current rules have been notably good . . . "Upon careful analysis of the data submitted on safety, we have con cluded that no valid reasons have been shown as a support for the Brotherhood proposal under which a fireman would be required to be at all times continuously In the cab of road diesels. The proposal must be re jected." The real reason behind these demands it that the union leaders are trying to make jobs where there is no work. In other words, a plain case of "feather-bedding.' The railroads have no intention of yield ing to these wasteful make-work i "The Safety Record of Diesels is Outstandingly Good..." Psmidbktiai. Fact Findino Board Raton Read these excerpts from official reports of Presidential Fact Finding Boards: "The safety record of Dieaela is out standingly good, and it follows that the safety rule, now applicable have produced good results." Th. safety and on-time performance of Dieeel -electric locomotive, operated under current rule, indict, that Dieael-electric operation haa been safer than steam locomotive operation ..." Rememberl These are not etatementa of the railroad.. They are Just a few of th. many similar conclusions reached by Presi dent Truman'a Fact Finding Board which spent month.
