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."

Oregon Dreaming
Of Track Crown .
By The Associated Press
The University of Oregon had
dreams of a possible northern divi
sion track and field championship
today after blasting Washington
State college's string of dual meet
victories.
The Ducks tramped on the Cou
gars 75 to 55 at Eugene Satur
day while Oregon State measured
Idaho. 76 to 55 at Corvallis.
Oregon's victory over WSC was
its first over the Cougars since
1943 and mapped a string of 19
straight dual meet victoria for the
inland empire school.
Best efforts of the weekend was
the 14-foot pole vault of Oregon's
George Rasmussen, the 15.1 time
ran by Oregon's Jack Doule in up
setting WSC high hurdler Fran
Polsfoot, and the 6 foot, 4 inch
high jump of OSC's Ken Eliot.
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.

erick Snow and pinned on him by

White Minister
Raps Dynamiting
Of Negro Homes
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 24
tJPt An angry white pastor says
federal help should be requested,
if necessary, to catch the "crim
inals" responsible for dynamite at
tacks on Birmingham Negro
homes.
Dr. John H. Buchanan issued the
statement yesterday while city and
county officers staged an all-out
investigation of the second dyna
miting in 10 days. 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." Buchanan Is an official of the
citizens committee of 500.
The committee was organized
last year after an outbreak of flog
gings and cross burnings by hood
ed bands. It supported officers at
tempting to crush the outbreak of
lawlessness.

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

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. Intttlttln, the claims of
the union leaders.
