EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, June 14 1955 Peron Vows To Force Catholic Church To Bow To Peoples' Will Buenos Aires, Argentina (U.R) President Juan D. Peron accused Catholics of "treason" Monday night and vowed to force the church to bow to the "will of the people." Peron, who has been feuding with the Roman Catholic church for months, threatened to sup press with the "greatest energy" any new outbreaks of violence by his opponents. Band Roam Streets As he spoke, bands of Peron ists roamed the streets shouting such slogans as "Peron, yes! The priests, no!" They smashed win dows of a number of shops and cafes. Peron formally accused Cath olics of "planning and executing treason" during the week end disorders in which at least 22 persons were shot or otherwise injured and 400 to 600 arrested. The government previously charged Catholic demonstrators with desecrating the Argentine national flag and memorial plaques dedicated to Peron's late wife, Eva. General Strike Called The pro - Peronlsta General Confederation of Labor called a general strike for tonight to al low workers to attend a monster rally1 in homage to the flag and the president's late wife. Peron, in a 25-minute nation wide radio speech, denounced the church as a "wolf in sheep's clothing." He said that after 12 years of religious opposition the (Vodka in orange juice) ! I jig . government has "earned the right to do justice." Official Vatican spokesmen de clined to comment on Peron's speech because it "might worsen the situation." However, a high church source, commenting unof ficially on the threats, said "Hit ler tried the same tactics." The source said Vatican au thority had expected an intensi fication of the anti-church cam paign following the week end riots, so that Peron's attack was "disturbing but not surprising." "Peron is a poor man, who un derstands neither the history nor the faith of the Catholic church," the source said. No New Restrictions Peron announced no new spe cific restrictions on the church Since the church-state contro versy flared into the open last November, the church has been stripped of many of its tradition al privileges. A convention is scheduled to be held this year to amend the constitution and elim inate Catholicsm as the official religion of the state. Peron called on his supporters not to meet force with force until he gives the word for action by the "people's organizations." Peron said the people will have an opportunity to register preference between church and state in "clean elections." He said the elections will be called by the government at a yet un specified date.

Luke wasn't at all sore about it. When he showed up to pay a $10 fine, he made a little speech. "Those fellows," said he, "were so po lite, I decided to bake them a cake." And so he had. A layer cake with butter cream icing. Sen. Albert W. Barkley, the former Veep from Kentucky, ap parently is making a bid for the nomination as the best dressed man in Congress. He has a little competition from fellows like Rep. Cliff Hope of Kansas, the former chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, who al ways is pert and proper in his dress and always wears a posey in his lapel. Barkley draws the line on flowers, but he has sports jackets with pants of com plementary colors to match. His preference is gray and brown for the jackets with benge brit ches to go with the brown coats, and blue pants to go with the gray. Like other smart dressers, the old timet buys a bunch of jackets, and then gets pants that look well with them, doubling his summer wardrobe. The Civil Aeronautics Ad ministration asked for volun teers among its employees to play guinea pig in a study of how people can be rescued from crashed seaplanes.

As one official said, "Just goes to show you what some people in the government will go through for a day off. Rep. Elizabeth Kee, the Demo crat from West Virginia, in her newsletter to constituents, is worrying about the 800 persons who streak through the White House each day and mess up the premises. To the horror of all concerned, the congresslady says, "the cleaning crews have been finding wads of chewing gum squashed on the gleaming floors and beautiful rugs of the President s residence."

Flag Day Observed throughout Nation By UNITED PRESS The Stars and Stripes flared out across the country today as the nation celebrated Flag Day. Although the commemoration of the 178th birthday of the American flag was observed na tionally, it was a legal holiday in only two states Missouri and Pennsylvania. President Eisenhower, in proclamation, called for all Americans to honor the flag by displaying it today. Also in Washington, an Army choral group, singing before the House of Representatives, was to give the first performance of a new song commemorating the flag. Fag Day is in commemoration of the decision of the Continen tal Congress on June 14, 1777, to adopt the flag of 13 stars and 13 stripes as the nation s banner. low Doim ram Terms to fit your budget... and you establish valuable bank credit.

U.PJ Malheur county court has suggested com pletion of the partially built Vale hospital as a home for eld erly people. The building has stood partly finished for several years due to lack of hospital association money to complete it. The county expressed its wil lingness to put up $75,000 from liquor funds to complete and convert the building into a home for the aged, but contributors to the hospital association will have to vote on the proposal. Malheur county's home for the aged was recently condemn ed by the state as a fire hazard. Bryson Conviction Rulings Expected San Francisco (U.R) Federal Judge William C. Mathes was expected to rule today on three defense motions seeking to overturn the recent conviction of Hugh Bryson. Mathes heard arguments all day yesterday on motions for acquittal, a new trial and arrest of judgment. Then he took the motions under submission and indicated he would rule on them today. If he denies them, he will probably impose sentence on the former waterfront leader. Bryson, once president of the defunct National Union of Ma rine Cooks and Stewards, was convicted May 25 of falsely swearing in 1951 that he was not affiliated with the Commu nist party.
