CHURCH CHECKS ON TREASURES

Balance Budget

May “ Seek Restoration of Objects Sent to Canada.

—Vatican sources said today that if treasures taken to Canada from Poland included sacred objects, they must be returned to the church. Informants said such sacred objects would include vases, chalices, and religious liturgical ornaments, However, if the treasures consisted of paintings, tapestries of work of art, the question must be resolved on the basis of a concordat | between the church and the Polish government to ascertain ownership

{works of art belonging to the church are under protection of the state

so that they should always be restored to the church.

Senator Kenneth Wherry, Nebraska, telling a press conference the first job of the new congress will be te balance the budget. Mr. Wherry, Republican whip of the senate in the last congress, |*™ does not advocate immediate tax reductions but believes that after the budget is balanced by reducing expenditures taxes can be cut.

‘LITTLE MEN' HIT | ASU. S. LEADERS

Historian Draws Parallel With Pre-Civil War Days. |

NEW YORK; Nov. 12.—-A distinguished historian warned. today | that there was a possibility that American = leadership within the

next few years might fall into -the hands of a parade of “little men”

unable to hold the nation together. Allan Nevins, just announced as winner of the 810.000 Scribner prize in American history and twice winner of the Pulitzer prize for biography, drew a parallel between the present public tendency to “underrate the perils of the future” and the complacency of the pre-Civil| war public, | Mr. Nevins" prize-winning work, | to be published next year, deals with the period between 1846 and the Civil war. “What strikes the observer most i is the littleness of the men who had i to deal with the great issues, the north-south strife, of that time,” Mr. Nevins said. “They were the smallest men in American history— Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, and Buchanan—four feeble presidents, at .a time when the greatest problems ; needed to be solved.” } » Dominated by Politicians

“The calamities the eountries i suffered can be largely traced to f the incompetency of those presidents, All were dominated by the politicians around them: the coun-| try was in the hands of a director-| ate rather than single men.” |
