THE BEND BULLETIN. BEND, OREGON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1949 PAGE TWO Catholic Church Attacks Czech Government Rule Prague, Czechoslovakia, Oct. 21 IP The Roman Catholic church today charged the Czech commu nist government with "rape" In eeklng "liquidation" of - the church. A church document bluntly told priests they would not be "shep herds but hired laborers" If they accepted high government salar ies under the new church contract law recently enacted. The law, effective Nov. 1, turns the clergy Into civil servants and legally transfers from the Vatican to the communist government control of the church. "The establishment of the state office for church affairs is an unheard-of rape of the interna tionally recognized constitution of the Catholic church and an ef fort to liquidate It, for here In place of the divine spiritual au thority which had its origin in the sacrament of holy orders comes also lay authority which takes over the right of decision, not only In purely material matters but also In mixed matters, and Indeed even In matters which are purely spiritual or jurisdictional," the church document said. Priests Arrested "The bill as proposed cannot be accepted by any orthodox priest In his own mind, and even less can It be approved inwardly or publicly without sinning against his faith, his loyalty to the church and his vow of obedience to his bishops." In preparation for the law the government has swooped down on what It colls "reactionary ele ments" among the clergy and hustled them off to forced labor camps. The church document said priests and bishops represent!? a majority of Czech and Slovak dioceses gathered in secret t an unspecified place Oct 11 to build their line of defense in the church state struggle. The meeting was held three days before the national assem bly gave final approval to two measures which In effect convert priests into civil servants and give the government power over practically all church' affairs.

Mctd boa Farm Home Administration Officials Meet at Madras Madras, Oct. 21 With all ad-, minlstrative officials of the Ore-; gon office of the Farmers' Home administration present, as were I railway officials and men inter-; ested In development of Oregon reclamation projects, a two-flay meeting of those Interested In the financing operation of the FHA came to an end Wednesday at a luncheon, sponsored by the Mad ras chamber of commerce. The visitors had joined Jeffer son county farm and business! men interests on Tuesday In gain ing first hand knowledge on a tour of irrigated tracts which are receiving financial support from the Oregon FHA. On Wednes day morning a session was held In the basement of the Madras; Methodist church, where officials of FHA explained In detail the policies and lending activities of the federal agency, now designat ed by congress as the chief agency engaged in financing farm operations that cannot gam credit from commercial banks or cooperative finance bodies be cause of the first mortgage status of liens held by the government in operation of project development. Farms Inspected Calls were made on Tuesdav at the farms of Kenneth F. Green and Cecil G. Benson on Agency plains and those of Leland King. Henry David, Jack Griffith and Albert Pluemke in the Opal City district o south Jefferson county. At the Wednesday morning round table discussions. Hugh Mc Laughlin, chief of the program of operations of FHA In Oregon, gave a report on loans made in Oregon and Washington and told how settlers are making a satis factory amortization of their in debtedness. It was revealed that a 60 per cent delinquency had oc curred in 'this year, a condition de clared the result of the lack of cash returns for the first three years in development of new land and because of an unusually harsh winter during 1948-49. Bruce Stewart, administrator of an FHA office, headquarters of which are at Madras and which covers five north central Oregon counties, said that he did not con sider the delinquencies serious. He declared that he did not think the federal farm lending agency would suffer any loss in any in stance. It was Cited by officials and others at the meeting that tl)e government" has recognized the hazards of the first years of operation pf settlers on new land being improved, and that regula tions provide that two years shall elapse before delinquencies are applied. -v All speakers expressed gratification at the promptness of- borrowers from FHA in liqui dating their Indebtedness, a large percentage of them far in advance of due dates. ' Costs Explained Speakers, responding to ques tions from interested rail offi cials or others, reported that the administrative costs of operating the FHA were maintained by in terest charges. A need, however, was declared for a larger person nel, in order to avoid the errors of making loans to applicants be fore they could be thoroughly in vestigated; A note of warning was sounded by Robert W. Saw yer, 'of Bend, ex-president of the National Reclamation association, that, administrative costs should not come from federal appropria tions. He warned that every effort should . be made to cut down the burden of taxes, and that activities of federal agencies should be made self-sustaining and. should not require monies from the federal treasury. Fred E. Burgess of Vale and Henry J. Allyn of Bellingham, respectively members of the Ore gon and Washington state FHA committees, gave a resume of plans for their respective commit tees. Invited to Pasco The Oregon committee mem bers accepted an invitation to at tend a joint meeting at Pasco, Wash., early next spring, when a tour will be made of places of Columbia basin project settlers In that area. The date for the Pasco meeting was tentatively set for April 10 and 11. Stewart presided at the Madras luncheon. A welcoming address was delivered by that city's may or, Adrian Smith, with Walter A. Duffy, Oregon chief of F11A, re sponding. A talk on early day his tory of the development of IVs chutes basin reclamation was given by Sawyer, who has ob-1 served it from its Inception and who has been as active as any other of the area in pushing for attainments under the activities of the buriNiu of reclamation. He declared that on his way down from Bend he had been impressed as he looked out over central Jef ferson county from a high point above the Culver junction with U. S. highway 97, by the amazing . cnnnges tnat are apparent since 194fi. when first water was deliv ered to the North unit protect. The expanse formerly was filled with dry land wheat farms.
