Religious Intolerance
DurinE the war we had Protestant pastors, Catholic priests
and Jewish rabbis appearing
Bame platform appealing for
we were well on the way to national unity. But recent de
velopments indicate that the flames of fanaticism are flaring
anew. The hooded Ku Klux
crosses and flogging victims in the sunny south, vandals are
desecrating synagogues in California, a Catholic bishop warns
members of his diocese against joining Rotary and similar
luncheon clubs, leaders of the Protestant Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in America call on President Truman
demanding the recall of Myron
tive at the Vatican, which naturally brings a justified and
dignified rebuke from Cardinal Spellman as sowing "seeds of
dissension.
The Protestant church leaders' argument was that Tay
lor's appointment was contrary to the historic American
principle of separation of state and church, which is not true,
for Taylor's designation by President Roosevelt was the
eighth time an American has been named to the Vatican.
Many countries which separate church and state maintain
full diplomatic relations with the Vatican. Also countries
which do not separate church and state, including Great
Britain, also maintain such diplomatic relations. So do China
and Japan and other non-Christian countries. And the Vati
can has for many years been represented in Washington by
an Apostolic delegate.
The United States maintained full diplomatic relations with
the Vatican for 60 years, until the Pope lost his temporal
domain in 1870. Congress accomplished the separation by
refusing to appropriate funds for maintenance because the
Pope had forbidden Protestant worship in Rome. Temporal
power of the Papacy was restored in 1929, whereby agree
ment with the Italian government, the Vatican Free State,
with an area of 109 acres was established in Rome.
Mr. Taylor was appointed after the outbreak of World War
II as the personal representative of the president at the
Vatican. He is an Episcopalian and has official recognition
by congress. But it is admitted that his mission has been an
important contribution to the peace, for the Pope is the
spiritual leader of many millions of people in the devastated
continent. The peace efforts have yet to attain fruition.
The whole affair seems silly and uncalled for, injudicious
and unfortunate for national unity. Perhaps the Cardinal
is not far off when he savs that "only the absence of good
will can misrepresent Taylor's
charge our last two presidents
spirit of the American Constitution in keeping mm tnere.
Wasrina Their Energies
About as farcical a procedure as can be imagined is the
prolonged effort being made by delegates to the World Mari
time Conference to establish a world wage minimum of $72
n month for seamen. Anv such edict would be impractical
because unenforcible but the proposal is typical of left wing
ideology. Even if the "one world" vision materialized, eco
nomic and social conditions so differ in every country that
a common wage wouldn t mean anything in Utopia.
A wage of $72 a month would be a fortune for Chinese,
Japanese, Malay and Indian sailors who can live on a handful
of rice and work a 20-hour shift and wouldn't ho enough for
U. S. seamen. Of course the higher the wage, the higher
the costs of operation and the fewer the ships to operate.
American ships with their high wages and perpetual strikes
cannot compete with foreign vessels and hence cannot operate
excent with government subsidies. Unions never consider
fhn lnw nf Himmishinir returns.
Worker delegates to the conference, in reference to the
threatened United States maritime strike declared that if
the strike materializes "seamen
take the places of their fellow workers in case ot an ouwrcaK
of an open conflict." The resolution was adopted by delegates
from 10 countries.
Hnu-pvpr the French delegates sav that the statement rep
resents the individual views of
not be considered binding on the organizations tney repre
sent, but considered generally the viewpoint of seafarers."
Perhaps such strike sympathetic action is the real business
of Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach who is attending the
Seattle conference instead of trying to prevent the shipping
strike.
Salem Cafes Say Price Increase
Step in Right Direction
Salem restaurant operators today called certain increases in
menu prices allowed by OPA as "a step in the right direction."
"It's ritfht down our alley," said Robert Lehman, president of the
Salem Restaurant
association.
OPA recently refused a request
for hiKher prices asked by Sa
lem cafe men.
Immediate change in menu
prices will be few, Lehman be
lieves, because most foods are
(till under price control.
Here are some dishes that
may bring a higher price:
1 Clam chowder It may cost
you a nickel more a bowl.
(Canned clams are off ceiling
list.)
I Crnb cocktail The HOc size
may soon cost you 75c. (In
J 943 a pound of crab cost 35c.
Today it sells for $1.35. No
price ceiling, yet restnuranteur
could not advance his charge.)
French fried potatoes A 15c
aide order may go to 20c. Ceil
ings on spuds arc off.
I Grapefruit Juice A la carle
It may go up a nickel. All
canned citrus fruits and juices
are uncontrolled.
Spinach Price controls off.
Salmon, halibut steak If It
lists for $1 where the menu
reads "Price of entree deter
mines cost of the dinner" well,
that may soon read $1.20. No
price controls on fish.
Although ceilings have not
been removed from dairy prod
ucts, there has been a recent
Increase in milk and cream costs.
Whether that means that the
oost of a dish of ice cream or a
glass of milk can be raised must
be determined when the offi

While the mercury soared to
ward 90 degrees in the city's
first 1946 heat wave, a police
man in Central Station mopped
his brow and gasped.
Whew, it s like a furnace in
here. I can't stand it."
He wasn't kidding. Someone
had fired the furnace full blast.

Baltimore, June 13 UP) Po
lice Lieut. Alexander Emerson
and his vice squad made a raid
and arrested two men on a
charge of bookmaking.
While gathering evidence,
Emerson stationed Patrolman
Cornelius Trenkamp at the tele
phone. The 'phone rang, and
when Trenkamp said "hello,"
the party on the other end
seemed to sense something was
amiss.
'I'll take $50 on Emerson to
win," the caller said, and hung
up.

F. H. Davison of Houston, Tex.,
vacation-bound for Los An

sheriff s deputies here.
'Haven't you forgotten some

"Why, no," Davidson replied:
then he looked around, found
the back seat empty and head
ed the ear back to pick up his
wife and his mother-in-law,
Mrs. Eunice Stevens, at Desert
Center 50 miles down the road
where he had stopped for
gasoline.

Heard quite a discussion at
the coffee club today anent the
fact that inflation may be on
its way. The thought had just
occurred to this group as cof
fee is still at the 5-cent level
and apparently one of the mem
bers had recently gone out and
bought something else, making
his interesting discovery.
Bread has taken on another
cent under OPA auspices and
we noticed our dog also took
on another one this a.m., all of
which adds to the inflation the
ory. However, no one can kick
much about the price of bread
which remained the same all
during the war, but it is Inter
esting to note that the OPA has
now double shot the situation
by upping the price on a small
er loaf, what with a 10 per cent
boost on a 1 per cent smaller
loaf sounds more like two
cents to us than one. Regard
less we notice there are folks
who still eat the middle out of
a slice of bread and leave the
rest ringed around their plates.
It seems that King Umberto is
doing his darnedest to stay in
Italy but none of the dispatches
has as yet explained why. He
has a chance to skip off to some
summer resort where he can
spend the rest of his life on half
pay with no troubles to worry
him and yet he wants to con
tinue on where any minute
somebody may take a pot shot
at him and fix him as cold as
the late king of Siam. It doesn't
seem to make sense, even for
a king.
Haven't as yet heard any
early predictions as to whether
firecrackers will come, back this
year, which still leaves the
chance to hope they won't.
Down at Hollywood anybody
who hasn't a swimming pool in
his back yard is a nobody. Up
at our own Detroit in the Cas

before everybody's backyard
will not only be a swimming
pool but It is hoped a fish pond
as well.
We heard a chap from Detroit
remark once that his town was
the best little dam town in the
country and in a few years he
can prove it.

England's outspoken Foreign
Secretary Bevin, whose blunt
ness is one of his notable char
acteristics, came close to out
blunting himself Wednesday
during his extemporaneous
speech on his conduct of Brit
ain's foreign policy at the an
nual labor party conference in
Bournemouth.
Mr. Bevin climbed two craggy
peaks, from which there is no re
treat. These were his declara
tions regarding the Palestine cri
sis and his two-fisted program
for the forthcoming Paris con
ference of Big Four foreign min
isters which failed in its last ses
sion. As for Palestine, he set news
bulletins flashing around the
world when he announced that
he would reject immediate im
migration of 100,000 Jews to the
Holy Land. He was equally di
rect regarding the Paris meet
ing, vowing that if negotiations
bogged down he would sign sep
arate peace treaties with the de
feated European nations. A week
earlier he had characterized this
parley as "one last attempt" to
gain Russian cooperation for
peace.
Tinge of Optimism
It is worthy of note that the
labor party, which is the present
ruler of England, tendered the
foreign secretary an overwhelm
ing vote endorsing his conduct of
foreign affairs.
Bevin gave his Palestine state
ment a tinge of optimism by a
qualification, and made some
pointed remarks which gives
one to wonder whether he was
doing some maneuvering in hope
of securing more assistance from
the United States in settling the
difficulties in the Holy Land. It's
interesting that while he was
talking in Bournemouth, a for
eign office spokesman in London
said an American technical ad
visory committee was expected
there this week for discussion
of housing, transport, feeding
and similar problems which
might be involved in any large-
scale transfer of Jews to Pales
tine. Problem Presented
Also in explaining his relp--
tion of immediate immierntinn
of 100,000 he had this to say:
If we DUt 100.000 .Tw In
Palestine tomorrow I would
have to DUt another division nf
British troops there. I am not
prepared to do it." Equally to
the point was a later remark
that the financial issue involve
"are tremendous and the British
chancellor of the exchequer can
not carry it. We cannot take on
another 200,000,000 pounds
($800,000,000) expenditure on
Palestine and that is really what
is involved."
And so we arrive at the con
clusion, I should say, that John
Bull expects Uncle Sam to step
in and shoulder a bie load of the
military and financial commit
ments, in any event, Bevin
thinks that "handled with deter
mination and natience this (the
Jewish-Arab problem) can be
settled as part of the Middle
Eastern problem."

Astoria, June 13 (U.R) Sen.
Wayne Morse had the un
qualified support of the Oregon
Federation of Labor convention
here today with the passage of
a resolution hailing him as a
"champion of labor." The state
convention of the union group
also was on record recommend
ing major revisions in the Ore
gon tax structure.
Opposition to any form of
sales tax, either by the state or
municipalities was put forward
in the Wednesday session, along
with repeal of the constitutional
six percent tax limit and a gen
eral slanting of state tax policy
along "ability to pay" lines.
Refusing to pass a resolution
condemning President Truman
as a "strikebreaker," the con
vention cheered when Federa
tion head J. D. McDonald an
nounced the president's veto of
the Case anti-strike bill.
Cautious approval of the Col
umbia Valley authority move
ment was given by delegates,
but no specific part of the plan
was endorsed. Spokesmen said
they feared to give too much
power to a centralizing agency.

but when the notes of a meadow

he looked around.
All he could see, perched on

Ornithologists, consulted on
the phenomenon, theorized that
the birds had started their "im
itations" through associations at
an early age, mocking more
mature birds.

Diplomatic War v
Already Waged
Portland, June 13 UP) Amer
ica is already fighting a diplo
matic war with Russia, Dr. H.
R. Peters declared at the open
ing session of the northwest in
stitute of international relations
at Reed college last night.
"The people in Europe, mil
lions of them, are waiting for
the war to resume between
Russia and the United States,"
the former chief of morale op
erations branch of the office of
strategic services asserted.
"I have talked to them. They
expect a clash at any moment.
War may come without any pos
itive steps by America or Rus
sia. If the present drift in inter
national affairs is permitted to
continue we may stumble into
war over affairs in Europe, in
the Middle East, in China," the
Reed college professor of Ger
man warned.
He said "our preparations for
atomic warfare are viewed with
great suspicion and misgiving
in many parts of the world. No
matter how strongly we protest
our peaceful intentions, our pro
tests invite misgivings," he added.
