Leo Smith, chairman of the Catholic Committee on Re ligious Rights, said a main reason for the withdrawal was that candidates felt unable to respond pending a U.S. Su preme Court decision on the Oregon textbook law.

National Department Fires One; Files on Others Studied Washington -lUPD-Thc Agri culture Department, digging deeper into the case of Texas farm magnate Billie Sol Estes, has fired one employee and turned is files on two other men over to the Justice Department. Thomas R. Hughes, agricul ture Secretary Orville L. Freeman's executive assistant, announced Monday the de partment had fired William E. Morris from its credit serv ices department because he failed to answer orders to show up for questioning about dealings with Estes. In fact, Hughes said, "We still don't know where he is." Morris was formerly an assistant to James T. Ralph, who was relieved of his du ties as assistant Agriculture Secretary two months ago and named agricultural at tache to the Phillipines. FBI Asked To Check Undersecretary Charles S, Murphy announced that the FBI had been asked to look into the activities of Ralph and of Emery E. Jacobs, who quit his job as deputy direc tor of the department's serv ice last week. Witnesses at a Texas in quiry said Jacobs went on a clothes-buying spree with Estes, who has been indicted on fraud charges. Jacobs de nied he ever took anything valuable from Esfcs and said he resigned so he could go to Texas and fight the charges. Further Action Considered The department's general council said the legal division is also considering turning over to the justice uepart ment the files of two Agricul tural Stabilization and Con servation service employees at Clinton, Okla., who were identified as Russell E. Dill and Harvey E. White. The two men have admit ted accepting "finders' fees for locating displaced cotton acreage for transfer to a group of Texas farm pro moters. Sources said the promoters activities were similar to those of Estes, who "sold" the land to displaced Texas farm ers and then leased it back, thereby acquiring govern ment acreage allotments for cotton. 721 Overdue Books Returned to Library Sonic 721 books overdue were returned to the Public Library of Medford and Jack son County at the central library during National Li brary week, according to Omar Bacon, librarian.

Church sources here and in Rome said today that the Ro man Catholic church has op posed racial segregation everywhere and in any form throughout the two mil leniums of its history. They said the action taken against the segregationists by Arch bishop Joseph Francis Rum mel, 86, was in line with the church's stand. Rummel invoked the church's severest penalty Monday against Leander H. Fcrez Sr., Mrs. B. J. Gaillot and Jackson G. Ricau for at tempting to incite disobe dience or rebellion to his re cent order to desegregate all Catholic schools In the 10 parish archdiocese of New Orleans.

THt bars the three from all sacra ments of the church but they may go to mass and make con fession. The three indicated they would fight the archbishop's decision, taking their cases to Rome if necessary, and they said the ruling would not deter their fight against de segregation. But there was slight if any chance that the Vatican would take cogni zance of their protestations. The Vatican praised Rummel in 1955 for closing a Louisi ana mission for its refusal to accept a Negro priest. Says Clergy Brainwashed Perez, 70, is generally re garded as Louisiana's leading segregationist. He publicly urged Catholics to "cut off the water" of the church by stopping contributions. He claimed church officials had been "brainwashed by sub versive forces." Mrs. Gaillot, 42, said she would appeal to the Vatican.

Sinai." Ricau, 44, father of eight, called the excommunication a "cruel edict," and announced he would continue to fight for "racial integrity." He issued a long statement last week at tacking Rummel's school de segregation order. The archdiocese said the ex communication of the three was not a form o' revenge or a condemnation to hell be cause "God alone can do this." The punishment would be lifted if the three demonstra ted repentance, but the order said only the archbishop or his delegate could remove the church sligma. There are two kinds of ex communication, toleratus and vitnadus. Toreatus, or tolerat ed,, was the type invoked against the three segregation ists. They will be permitted to attend Mass, but technically have lost the "right" to do so. Vitandus is reserved for the most se-ere crimes, such as physical violence to the Pope. Mrs. Gaillot, Perez and Ri cau will be denied the sacra ments, including communion. They would not get Catholic burial if they died while ex communicated. The archdiocese said that Durno Encouraged Over Bill Support Rep. Edwin R. Durno (R Ore.) said today he is encour aged by many expressions of support for his legislation which would require that im ported lumber and lumber products be marked with the country of origin. Durno was a sponsor of a luncheon in the House Office Building last week attended by some 60 Congressmen and spokesmen for the lumber in dustry. The meeting was call ed to discuss the growing problems facing the industry and possible ways to alleviate them. One of the major prob lems has been the increasing use of Canadian lumber pro ducts in eastern U. S. markets. Durno's bill was one of sev eral proposals dicussed dur ing the meeting. He said he found many Congressmen and lumber industry representa tives who agreed that mark ing imported lumber with its country of origin could stimu late, in the United States, use of domestic forest products in lieu of imported materials. "I wai very gratified," Durno said, "by the many ex pressions of approval and support for my bill. I am truly hopeful that we may be able to push it to enactment. While it is far from a cure all for the problems besetting our great forest products in dustry, I think it could con tribute materially to easing those problems." UNITED en- all three were sent letters threatening excommunication it they did not stop their op position to Rummel's school integration order. Perez claimed he never got such a letter. The cnurch said it was mailed to him four times and each time it was returned marked unclaimed.
