Emergency Action In Fuel Shortage Emergency Steps Are s Taken By 26 States Chicago, Jan. 26 — (UP) g Twenty-six states have taken emerI gency measures to cope with fuel 0 shortages, the council of state governments reported today. j Many city governments also are 3 taking emergency action, the Amer3 ican municipal association reported The oil shortages are most serious, the groups said, and many f states and cities are creating fuel , oil pools to supply hardship cases. Increased demands upon oil production by home and industrial users have been the major factor in creating the crisis, the organizations said, but transportation difficulties also have arisen in many arease. Eighteen states east of the Rocky Mountains have appointed fuel coordinators, four have named committees, and four are about to name fuel coordinators, the council for state governments found. Plans for oil poohs for emergency use are underway in South Carolina, Minnesota, Virginia, Indiana, and Omaha. Neb., Raleigh, N. C., St. ( Louis, Mo., and other places. The municipal association said that one of the first cities to adopt fuel oil rationing was Philadelphia. Home users can order only 100 gallons at a time, provided the tank is less than one-fourth full. 0 The gifts of God are for practical • use and not for ornamentation. *

Protests Manifesto As Anti-Catholic Manifesto Issued By Protestant Pastors Washington. Jan. 26—(Up) — A spokesman for the Roman Catholic hierarchy in the United States today assailed as “antiCatholic” and “anti-American” a manifesto on separation of church and state recently issued by a group of prominent protestamt clergymen.

Archbishop John T. McNicholas , of Cincinnati, in a statement issued through the National Catholic Welfare conference, said the 1 protestant manifesto contained 1 untruths and was “bound to i arouse intolerance, suspicion, hat- 1 red and conflict between religious groups.” The protestant document was ! released Jan. 11 and announced 1 formation of “protestants and ! other Americans united for the separation of church and state.” While emphasizing that "our controversy is not with any church. Roman Catholic or any other,” the manifesto demanded an immediate end of U. S. diplomatic ties with the Vatican. It also assailed one "powerful church” which it said was committed to a "policy plainly subversive of religious liberty as guaranteed by the constitution.” “This church,” the protestant document said, "makes no secret of its intention to secure for itself, if possible, a privileged position in the body politic.” Archbishop McNicholas, who is chairman of the administrative board of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, said it was 'distasteful” and a “departure from our custom to answer accusations made against us.” But he added: "We speak out, lest false statements of the manifesto be taken as true by some of our well-mean-ing fellow citizens who have not access to reliable sources of information, on the issues raised.’,’ "Only God can judge the motives of the framers and the signers of the manifesto,” he continued, "but whatever be their intent, they have issued a document, not as crude as those issued by know-nothing-ism or apa-ism or ku-kluxism, but certainly one bound to arouse intolerance, suspicion, hatred and conflict be- , tween religious groups.” The Catholic prelate said he I was confident the signers of the manifesto do not speak for the ' "great body of protestants, nor ’ for informed Jews and God-fear-ing Americans having no religious affiliation.”

Among the signers of the protestant document were Bishop G. Bromley Oxuam, New York Methodist leader; Dr. Louie D. Newton. president of the Southern Beptist convention; Dr. John A. Mackay, president of Princeton theological seminary; Dr. Edwin McNeill Poteat, president of Col-gate-Rochester Divinity school and Dr. Charles Clayton Morrison, former editor of Christian Century.

South Bend Woman Is Accident Victim South Bend. Ind.. Jan. 26 — (UP) — Authorities today listed Mrs. Catherine Ludwikowski, 68-year-old widow, as the third traffic fatality of the year in South Bend. Mrs. Ludikowski was killed last night when she was struck by a taxi cab on a dimly lighted street. The cab driver. Leo R. Bell, told police that the woman apparently stepped from between two parked cars into the dark street. He said he did not see her until his cab bumped into her. —— o Man Held After Slaying Father Brookville, Ind.. Jan. 26 —(UP) — Virgil Robertson, who admitted killing his father during a family argument, was held without bond today in the Franklin co.unty jail. The 25-year-old man told authorities he fired a shotgun twice at hie father, Eddie Robertson, 62, because the victim had been shooting at a 16-year-old girl with a revolver. The father was an ex-convict on parole for the shooting of a Kentuetr"ptrliceman. Q— — The best sort, of bravery is the courage to do right. — Louisa M.

The strike threat resulted from the school board’s action in holding up paychecks when the city council refused to approve the board's proposed 1948 budget. Under state law, the Chicago board of education decides its own budget oif expenditures and sets its own tax rate. The budget and levy are approved by the citycouncil but in the past this has amounted to a rubber stamp. This year the council finance! committee and other aidermen balked because the board had increased its proposed expenditures for the year by $16,000,000 to a record $103,0T0,000. It also boosted its proposed tax levy by $23,000.000. The aidermen screamed that they would have to take the rap, politically and otherwise, for the board's action. They felt that the board, undertaking a series of sweeping rejfortns since Hunt’s recent appointment, could have spread the program over several years. The council asked the board to trim its schedule. The board reMeanwhile, the board held up the teachers’ pay on grounds that! it could not disburse money until/ the budget was approved. The paychecks, which were due last week, already were in envelopes. They contained a substantial salary boost which accounted for much of the board’s increased budget. The city's failure to pay the teachers inflicted hardship on many instructors because they had not received cheeks since Dec. 19. Chicago teachers are not paid for the two-week Christmas holiday aud the paychecks they demanded today were for the two-week period following Jan. 5.

Girl Scouts Send Clothing Overseas Friendship Project Is On In Decatur A great number of garments have been prepared to date for the Girl Scout “Clothes for friendship” project which will continue as a major interest of the Gir Scouts here and throughout the nation during 1948, Mrs. C. I. Finlayson, council chairman, announced today. A great number of the troops have begun work on the project and many more are expected to get under way within a short time, Mrs. Finlayson stated. “Clothes for friendship” is one of the most ambitious efforts ever made by the nation-wide Girl Scout organization. Girl Scouts plan to make 100,000 clothing kits for children in Europe and Asia—a grand total of a million garments. The slogan for the project is “Make warm friends—fill a Girl Scout clothing kit today.” Acoording to Mrs. Finlayson, people who are not associated with Girl Scouting are welcome to help the Girl Scouts by giving materials, garments or even by making layettes or dresses for the kits. Information about the requirements may be obtained from Mrs. Malcolm Locke, 517 W. Monroe St., phone 1619. Each clothing kit will be made up of new or reconditioned clothing and will contain a minimum of ten items, —a complete winter or summer wardrobe for a child who might otherwise go in rags. The kits are planned for three groups —babies; children from 1 to 3 years old; and boys and girls from 4 to 14. The kits will be sent to foreign lands by the American Friends service committee, who also selected the countries to which the kits will be shipped. Selection was made on the basis of greatest need. The first kits will go to Austria, Hungary, Poland, Germany, China and Japan. As Jhe project gets under way additional countries will be selected, Mrs. Finlayson said. Good quality and sound workmanship will be stressed so that the wardrobe will be good looking as well as sturdy. The clothes for friendship project is under the supervision of a ■national committee headed by Mrs. j Giles Whiting, Scarborough, N. Y. Members include the Honorable Herbert Hoover; Maurice Pate, director of the International Chil-j dren’s Emergency Fund of the United Nations; Mme, Colette' Combemale. of the same organization; Edgar Rickard, of the American Children’s Fund; Mrs. Jeremiah Milbank, New York City;!
