Roman Catholic Church Hardest Hit
By Communist Tide Engulfing Europe
(Fdltor's note: Throughout the
world churches are llihtlni lor sur
vival under the attack ot communism.
United Press correspondents around
the world have contributed to two
dispatches, explaining the status ot
religion ana ine cirrgy in ,i i.
Here is today's dispatch u-hlrh deals
with the situation in Europe.)
By Homer Jenka
United Press Correspondent
The communist tide which en
gulfed nearly two thirds of Eur
ope has brought wilh it ever-increasing
restrictions on religious
freedom.
The roman Catholic church
has suffered most. But protest
ant churches also have been
hard hit.
The Roman Catholic church
once could make and break gov
ernments, is fighting desperately
to keep its independence in re
ligious matters. Its political and
economic influence for the most
part has been destroyed.
unlike tneir pagan counter
parts in ancient Europe, the
modern rulers of eastern Europe
do not try to prevent religious
worship. Instead they seek by
every means to seize control of
the church and make it another
liuble instrument in the hands
of the all-powerful state to keep
the people toeing the communist
line.
Thev strike at the church
hierarchy rather than at the
worshippers. My imprisoning or
otherwise immobilizing clergy
men hostile to communism, they
destroy the most important and
influential nucleus arouno
which the forces of religion
might rally.
Already the communists nave
imprisoned the Roman Catholic
primate of Hungary and the
archbishop of Zagreb. Yugoslav
ia, for "treason," put the primate
of Czechoslovakia under virtual
house arrest, and arrested more
than 1,000 Catholic priests.
Follows Sot Potiorn
The communist campaign
against the Catholic church
seems to follow a set pattern.
First the government seeks to
break the church's economic
power by land seizures and con
fiscatory taxes. Next it arrests
or otherwise removes the most
hostile members of the hier
archy. Finally it tries to break
the church's ties wilh the Vati
can by enlisting priests in government-sponsored
"a s s o c i a
tions." The process is almost
complete in Yugoslavia.
The communists now control
2, 453,004 of Europe's 3.760.107
square miles and 2Kn.17R.488 of
its 547,730.000 inhabitants. That
includes the European part of
the Soviet union.
Outside the communist coun
tries, the church is more than
holding its own. World War 11
brought Increased religious free
dom to western Germany and
Austria and sent many laggards
back to church in the allied
countries.
Japanese Thriving

become a thing of the past, in
about 30 or 40 years.
A second post-war health ex
aminer of some 16.000,000
school children shows that the
Japanese are growing taller, see
ing farther and smiling straight
en A more balanced diet made
possible in part by American re
lief supplies and American ideas
on dietetics has brought visible
improvements to children whose
growth suffered from war-time
food shortages.
While they are not tall by
American standards, Japanese
children are gaining stature.
First grade primary students and
second grade high school stu
dents averaged half an inch over
last year's classes and are one
to two pounds heavier.
One of the things that kept
the Japanese short was the na
tional aversion to milk. - Japa
nese writers of 100 years ago
complained of the bad odor of
"milk-eating barbarians."
By 1939 Japanese children
were taller than they'd ever
been, but the war reversed the
trend and the average height of
primary and middle school chil
dren dropped to the 1906 level.
Today they're back to where
they were in 1924.

April was slightly cooler
than usual and rainfall was
"markedly deficient," the Med-
iford weather bureau at the air
port reported today. . Robert
Church, official in charge of the
bureau here, said the combina
tion of cool, dry weather aided
agriculture, especially for late
plowing and the seeding of al
falfa and small grasses.
Cool temperatures retarded
the growth of grass on pastures
and ranges, Church said, but
I stock came through in good
shape. Orchard heating was re
quired on eight mornings a

Wives Come 'High' In Nairobi These Days; Age Decider
London (U.R) If you want to
buy a wife you can get one in
the native villages around Nair
obi in Kenya. Africa, for any
where from 85 to 150 goats. May
be a cow or two would have to
be thrown in for good measure.
The price depends on the age,
pedigree and condition of ihe
wife.
The present price scale is the
highest in the wife-selling his
tory of Kenya. Even 20 years
ago, you could get a very good
wife for only 30 goats paid to
her family.
Inflation is blamed for the
boom prices. They are so high
that many husbands buy their
mates on the installment plan.
Installment buying hasn't
worked out too well, though, a
tribal chief told Bernard Wick

Tricky Cash Register
Foils Chicago Holdup
Chicago (U.R) What three
bandits didn't know about cash
registers made Harry Block, 52,
a happy man.
Block and his sister-in-law,
Mrs. Evelyn Pillar, 40, stood
hopefully silent while one of the
bandits thumped a key on the
register in Block's store. The
register failed to open and the
bandits left empty-handed.
Block explained that the reg
ister opens only when two or
more keys are pressed. '
work as hard as those bought
for a complete goat herd on the
spot. If the husbands fall be
hind in their payments of goats
the wives go back to mother.
Plenty of prospective wives
are available.
"I've got 17," the chief said,
"and I know where I can get as
many more as I want. The real
trouble is they've inflated and
Koine steadily higher in upward
spirals."
How about a ceiling price for
wives?
Too Many Interests
"Oh, no!" said the chief. "We
couldn't do that. There are too
many vested interests. Every
man with an unmarried daugh
ter would cry out that he was
being robbed. . . .
"There's only one thing for
it. and that is to devalue wives
as Britain has done with the
pound."

"Forces, new forces, tremendous forces are loose in the world today. To ignore
cdem is to inrite the whirlwind bearing complete destruction to cherished ideas and
ideals. The supreme undertaking is to harness these forces for man's uplift, and
there are few men in the United States as well equipped for this job as Wayne Morse.
Oregon Republicans should renominate Morse, with PRIDE as well as purpose."
L C SAMMONS, Prominent Portland Banker

"Senator Morse has demonstrated a dynamic leadership based upon t deep and
realistic anderstanding of today's problems. He is neither mired down in the mistakes
of the past nor a victim of the delusion that we, must abandon our democratic for a
socialistic form of government. And, importantly, he has the moral and political

PAUL B. WALLACE, Leading Businessman and Orchardist
Senator Vayne Morse fought effectively against a threatened military policy that the

for the National ticket all over the country. He is a great friend and
a mighty fine Senator."
HAROLD E. STASSEN
'"Wayne Morse is an exceptionally able, courageous, forward looking
Republican Senator. His loyal campaigning for Republican candidates
has been very effective and very helpful."
SEN. ARTHUR H. VANDENBERG
"I want to thank you for your relentless and consistent support for
what I believe to be a sound foreign policy for our country. You have
been a tower of strength in defense of indispensable cooperation with
our anti-Communist allies and for the collective security which not only
protects us but also sustains the hopes of free men for a free world.'
SEN. MARGARET CHASE SMITH
'Many Republican and independent voters in America give great
heed to the Republicanism of Wayne Morse. The Republican Party
is fortunate to have such a dynamic, forthright Republican spokesman
representing it in the Senate of the United States."
SEN. HENRY CABOT LODGE, JR.
"I feel that Senator Morse's public career typifies the spirit of reform,
liberalism, idealism and regard for human rights which gave birth to
the Republican Party and which is vital to Republican success in
the future."
SEN. EDWARD J. THYE
"As a member of the Senate Agriculture and Forestry Committee, I
can assure the farmers of America that Wayne Morse is a Republican
leader who thoroughly understands the relationship between stability
in our agricultural economy and a sound national economy. His work
in the Senate is a source of strength to the Republican Party."
