Thursday, August 18, 1949
Supreme Knight John E.
Swift, Boston Judge, had made
the topic the theme of his ad
dress to the 67th annual gather
ing. He was reelected yesterday
and was expected to have a
hand in writing the resolution
today.
Archbishop J. Francis A. Mc-
Intyre of Los Angeles said yes
terday that the slogan "Sep
aration of Church and State"
being used to fight federal aid
for parochial schools had no
meaning. He said it was a "bug
aboo designed to effect legisla
tion that will bring about the
compulsory education of our
children in public schools."
Referring to the slogan and
any possible state church, the
archbishop said "If we may
judge from the reaction to the
recent controversy over the
Barden bill, the conclusion
would be that the union certain
ly would not be with the Cath
olic church."
"It Is a slogan that has crept
into even the supreme court,"
he said. He referred to the Mc
Collum case, which involved re
leasing children from school for
religious education, and said:
"The court, or at least a mi
nority of it, endeavored to in
troduce personal opinions Into
the law, using a figure of speech
for a rule of law, and using the
first amendment as a spring
board." The archbishop said the con
stitution says only that "con
gress shall make no law respect
ing an establishment of religion
or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof."
Plane Wreckage
On Ml. Hood
Portland, Ore., Aug. 18 W
Wreckage of an airplane was
found on Mount Hood today and
first speculation was that it
might be that of an air force
B-26 missing since April 21.
Two men making their way
up the mountainside reported by
Walkie-Talkies radio, seeing a
gun turret, according to Earl
Swanson, assistant manager of
Timberline lodge.
Swanson said the men esti
mated, from the plane's emer
gence from deep winter storms,
that it had been there about four
months.
The missing B-28 was lost on
flight from Hamilton Field.
Calif., to Portland last April 21.
Aboard were Air Force Col.
Archibald Y. Smith, 40, San
Francisco, pilot; Army Col. Wal
ter W. Hodge, 45, San Fran
cisco; and MSgt. H. E. Sluga,
San Jose, Calif.
The wreckage, scattered over
wide area on the mountain's
southwest slope at about the
7000 or 8000 foot level, was
found by Charles Colleti, Jr.
Timberline lodge employe, while
on a hiking trip Tuesday. He
returned to the lodge yesterday
morning, reported the find, and
early today he and forest ran'
gcr Jim Ralph started up the
mountain.
Colleti reported that the plane
apparently crashed head-on into
Mississippi head, a massive rock
formation.

House Probers
Washington, Aug. 18 Wl A
house expenditure subcommit
tee prepared today to pass
judgment on the maritime com
mission. The committee itself
was accused of conducting a
"browbeating" and "utterly un
fair" investigation of the com
mission's grants of ship subsi
dies. Maj. Gen. Philip B. Fleming,
new maritime commission head,
levelled the charges at the com
mittee last night as it closed a
10-day Inquiry.
The committee is investigat
ing charges by Comptroller
Lindsay C. Warren. He said that
not less than $25,000,000 of sub
sidies the commission granted
for Construction of a $70,000,
000 superllner and five other
ships 'Jmust be considered as ex
cessive due to various Irregular
procedures, inaccurate calcula
tions and unjustifiable liberal
interpretations of statutory lan
guage." Called before the committee
to justify the $80,000,000 in
subsidies Involved in the $150,
000,000 total construction cost of
the six ships, commission offi
cials complained repeatedly that
Gordon Peyton, committee coun
cil, and committee members
would not let them give their
complete answers to questions
put to them.
Rear Admiral C. D. Wheelock,
of the bureau of ships, appealed
to the committee not to disturb
the subsidies. It might cause the
private lines to stop the purchase
of ships, he said.
