Evo Til 9 state unemployment benefits. Farorable Rulings Needed The contracts provide that the company benefits will not start before favorable rulings have been obtained in states in which Ford and General Motors have two-thirds or their employees. If favorable state rulings are not given before June, 1957, the whole plan is to be terminated. A United Press survey to de termine what state legislatures are doing to amend unemploy ment laws which are in conflict with the GAW plan revealed that most states are "confused" about many legal questions and it may be a long time before sol utions are found. No Decision Ohio tried to solve the prob lem in its state Senate this week, but Republicansi "and Democrats squared off in a two-hour verbal slugfest and the bill died with no decision being reached. The Republicans were against pass ing the bill and the Democrats were for it. Now a special Ohio legislative committee will have to study the law and a decision will have to wait until the Legislature meets again in 1957. If Michigan and Ohio, for ex ample, gave the green light to the GAW plan, it could go into effect in June, 1956. Both Gen eral Motors and Ford have two thirds of their employees in these two states. Gov. C. Mennen Williams of Michigan said he would urge the Legislature to pass an unem ployment law which would make GAW work when it con venes again in 1956. Walter Reuther, president of the CIO United Auto Workers, said the plan could work with out legislative action if state attorney generals hand down fa vorable rulings. The Big Problem The big problem of the guar anteed annual wage arises from the fact that workers receiving this pay would lose all or part of their unemployment compen- 4 What every good cook knows: Just a little difference in ingredients makes a big difference in cooking results Snowdrift is just a little lighter than any other shorten ing and that can make the big difference in giving your family lighter, more digestible fried foods. : 7 Yl j i it i SaowdriftgjveBjustalitdemore mtfefy than ordinary shorten ings, because it fries perfectly at correct high temperature&Tliat can make the big difference in digestih:'ify of fried foods.

Buenos Aires, Argentina (U.R) Argentine police were reported today to have made a number of arrests in widespread raids on parish houses and Catholic Ac tion centers which coincided with the expulsion of two of Argentina's highest ranking Ro man Catholic churchmen to Rome. Police launched the raids, ap parently nationwide, in search of documents to support the Pe ron government's charges that the church was responsible for provoking disorders in Buenos Aires and elsewhere in the country. Twenty-two persons were injured here last week end in clashes . between Catholics and Peronists. Hundreds were arrested. Taken into custody in Wednes day's raids were a parish priest and four assisting clerics. They were arreted at Junin, 150 miles west of Buenos Aires, under the law dealing with state security. Raids on parish houses and meeting places and offices of the Catholic Action, a militant lay organization, were reported in Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Eva Peron and Junin. Membership Lists Seized The raiders seized member ship lists and various documents, according to the reports. A po lice source said all Catholic Ac tion centers in the 145 parishes of Buenos Aires had been closed down after the raids. The well known Catholic Sports Club, Ateneo de la Juvetud, also was shuttered. A priest said that po lice told him that the lay organi zation has "ceased to exist." . Expelled from the country Wednesday were the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Manuel Tato, auxiliary bishop of Buenos Aires, and the Rt. Rev. Ramon Pablo Novoa, canon deacon of the archdiocese. They had been stripped of their posts previously by the govern ment on charges of defying the civil authorities and inciting last week end's . violent disorders here. - High Vatican sources said Peron and other persons in volved in the arrest and expul sion of the two churchmen in curred automatic excommunica tion. But the Holy See was re ported awaiting the arrival there of the two prelates for a first-hand report on the situa tion before any official decree making excommunication "juri dicial" would be issued. Prelates Argentine Natiyes Tato, Novoa and Msgr. An Tonio M. Aguirre were picked up by police Tuesday night. Tato and Novoa were held overnight, while Aguirre was released after questioning. The deportation of the pre lates was unique in that both men are natives of Argentina. Tato was acting archbishop of Buenos Aires because of the ill ness of Santiago Luis Cardina Copello. The ailing 75-year-old Copello left his sick bed Wednes day to confer with Foreign Min ister Jeronimo Remorino. The cardinal conferred for 10 minutes with Remorino. After the session, the cardinal told re porters that the Catholic hi erarchy demanded an official explanation of what had hap pened to Tato and Novoa. Vatican Excommunicates Peron Vatican City j(U.R The Va tican today formally excom municated Argentine President Juan D. Peron and all others connected with the arrest and deportation of two high Roman Catholic Church dignitaries. The formal excommunication decree was signed by Adeodato Giovanni Cardinal Piazza, sec retary of the Sacred Consistor ial Congregation. It was published in the Vati can newspaper Osservatore Ro mano. The congregation drafted its decree without awaiting the first-hand testimony of the ex pelled prelates, Msgr. Manuel Tato and Ramon Carlos Nova. They are scheduled to arrive in Rome aboard a government operated Argentine airlines plane tonight. The Vatican's official decree excommunicated all those con nected in any way with the ar rest and deportation of the two prelates. Vatican" sources said the ex communication applies not only to Peron, as head of the Argen tine state, but to his police and any Catholics who took part in anti-church demonstrations. The decree was virtually iden tical with those imposed since the war in the cases of Red Hungary, Czechoslovak, Po land, Yugoslavia and Romania. In each of those Communist countries, authorities arrested or imprisoned Catholic prelates. Argentina-Bound Transport Crashes Asuncion, Paraguay U.R) A Panair Do Brasil Constella tion en route from Rio De Ja neiro to Buenos Aires crashed just outside Asuncion early to day while preparing to land. At least 14 persons among the 21 passengers and crew mem bers aboard were killed. Panair offices in Rio De Jan eiro said one of the passengers unaccounted for was John Dowl ing, Time magazine correspond ent in Buenos Aires, who board ed the plane, at Sao Paulo for Asuncion. Among the passengers saved were a married couple, an Aus trian, and a Paraguayan named Augusto Franco. One crew mem ber also was reported saved. - The crash occurred as the plane circled for a landing seven and a half miles from Asuncion, near the Paraguay river. Panair announced in Rio De Janeiro that five passengers and two crewmen survived the crash and were hospitalized at Asun cion. The plane was destroyed.

In at least five states, workers paid a guaranteed wage by their employers would lose allmnem ployment benefits. These states are California, Connecticut, Kansas, Minnesota and Mississip pi. In at least 20 other states, only partial unemployment ben efits would be allowed. In most of these states, no benefits would be paid if the guaranteed annual wage exceeded the amount of the benefit to which the worker was entitled. The key states, as far as the auto industry is concerned, are Michigan, Ohio, New York and Illinois, where Ford has over 80 per cent of its workers. Gen eral Motors has 320,000 of its 375,000 employees in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and New York. GOOD SEASON'S SALAD DRESSING KIT Shaker and 2 Pkgs. Dressing . 33' TREE TEA xk lb, Jff 7 MJ.B.
