9 UP)--Out of the middle ages--when master and craftsman joined together in guilds to govern their trades--16 archbishops and bishops of the Catholic Church in America drew today a plan "to abolish conflict between classes with divergent interests." Declaring that- "man is not an isolated individual living in a social vacuum," they proposed reestablishment of "some form of guild or vocational groups which will bind men together in society according" their respective occupations, thus creating moral unity." This, they said, is the ultimate remedy for "the class conflict which makes of the labor market an arena where the armies are engaged in combat." But with this economic remedy, the prelates come remedy in the frank and sincere return to the. teaching of. the gospel." Such a 'of morals necessary, they declared, to combat "a disordered affection of the soul, having its source in original sin but aggravated by the" present unhappy social conditions. "This leads to an unquenchable thirst for riches and temporal possessions, and there develops a fever of speculation unrestrained by any scruple in committing the gravest injustices against As Important' church and social was, described by some Catholics important utterances made by the ofVthe United States the program of reconstructioh of Council Plans Drive Against Intolerance 9 national crusade against the forces of religious intolerance and illiteracy was planned today by the International Council of Religious Education. The council is composed of 41 Protestant denominations and 30 state inter-denominational agencies and is affiliated with some 50 city church feder-' ations.

A living wage is the first claim of labor, to provide not only decent family; support but to make savings possible. Some wage increases, however, "come not out of the profits of the wealthy but out of the increased prices for the poor." Based on Encyclical The statement, regarded as the prelates' response to a recent encyclical which Pope Pius xn addressed to the' church in the 'United States, was based largely on the famous encyclical "Quadragesimo Anno" (Forty Years After) Pope Pius XL Pope Pius XI therein set forth the chief qualifications of the proposed guilds, they noted: "That they are autonomous, cm- brace whole industries and professions, are federated with other cpnstitutent possess 'the right of free organization, assembly and vote, and that they should dedicate themselves to the common good and -function in the establishment of justice and the Scneral welfare in economic life." 4 The prelates rejected both "extreme individualism" and "collectivism," and declared that, while the modern state cannot be "a mere policeman or umpire," it has pcen encumbered "with all the ourdens once borne by associations now extinct." guilds of medieval ages wielaed a certain amount of autonomous rule over the economic of their members. insured honest workmanship, supervised the qualitv of wires, and Protected merchants and craftsmen from competition by slran- and price-cutters.)

"Then I saw a blinding shset of flame and saw the whole side of-the house had been blown in. I saw different shells exploding, stars, and pinwheels flying, and the roar was deafening.

My two brothers and I rushed out. We were lucky to be alive." Three persons were cut ly shattering glass and flying debris so that they required hospital treatment, and a watchman was severely burned.

In answer to a question regard- ng a third term for the President, young Roosevelt said yes.erday: "I know whether 10 will run or not. But all the obholders want him. Personally, think he shouldn't." After he had addressed an Illi- lois Lumber and Material Deal- rs' Association meeting, Ropse- elt answered several questions rom the floor concerning the ountry's labor organizations and caders.

Speaks of Lewis To a query as to whether he bought the "power of C.I.O. John L. Lewis should be urtailcd," the President's son nswered: "There is no need to curtail it. You can dp it more easily by laughing him out of power." He added that he didn't believe Vice- President Garner, a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, was "as bad as Lewis said he is." The difference between Lewis and William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, he said, is that "Green wants to run a labor union--Lewis wants to run the country."

The air ministry announced that a German warplane was attacked by British fighting planes "and crashed near the Firth of Forth shortly after midday."
