“We hope our Catholic faithful will do likewise."

Churchmen said the regqliiflpn was read lit Masses in St. Vitus Cathedral here and elsewhere in the country.

It was proclaimed as tension mounted over the Government's campaign to control the Church. Justice Minister Alexei Ceplclca Fri- day ealled Archbishop Beran, Czechoslovakia! highest - ranking Roman Catholic, a traitor. He said n law ls helm: drafted to require Government approval of all ap- pointments to Church posts and to take over Church property.

The resolution became public a few hours after the Communist Party called for a no-quarter fight to cr-ush the Church hierarchy in Czechoslovakia.

A party manifesto which reached Western hands Saturday declared victory is necessary to complete communlzation of the country, es- pecially the collectlvizatlon of farms against peasant resistance.

Forest Fires Bllflliliqiilii. B.

FREDERICTON, July 17 ... (C?) — Large crews of ftre fighters are battling five for- est fires, believed started by a severe lightning storm, in Northem and Eastern New Brunswick tonight.

The Provincial Forest Serv- ice headquarters sald the larg- est oulbreak, burning over about 20 acres at Barnaby River near Newcastle, soon will be controlled.

Other fires are at Salisbury Road about l5 miles from Mflllvloll; ln Resiigouclle Coun- ty about 60 miles south of Csmpbellton: in Westmorlalld County near Cap Bald about 1O miles from Shediac and in Northumberland County around Nepislqult Lake about 55 miles west of Bathurst.

Forest officials said varied weather accompanied the out. bleak-s. and the fire hazard in the Province is not high yet. Forest patrol planes have been on daily flights for the last, few days even though all fires were reported out. .

Rain. hall and lightning crashed over Northern New Brunswick today and a thick haze hindered observers in the dry central region.

suspended its quarter-master gen- eral and the chief of. the Chemical Corps because of evidence turned up by a Senate commlttéelhvéstl- gating alleged influence in army contract awards.

Maj-Gen. Alden Harry Waltt, 56. who has served most of his 26 years in the army as a. chemical

New Telescope Begins Mapping UniverseEesday i

Ralph Dlghbon)

PALO AR OBSERVATORY. Callf., July 17—(AP)—A huge new telescope known as the "dB-inch- Schmldt" begins mapping the unl- verse Tuesday night. And therefrom hangs a tale-and from the tale a moral. The story is that of s scientist who defied convention and estab- lished authority to bring the worlds beyond human into closer focus. An obscure incident in the life of this scientist points the moral.

Twenty years ago Bernard Schmidt, a German optlcian, in- vented a new kind of telescope. It had a corrective ions which would bend light rays in such a way as to yield clearer photographs of stars. European astronomers were skepti- cal, however‘ and preferred to stick

to old-style elescopes despite their imperfections.

some of Schmidt's sky lioios found their way to tho lifted

States, when scientists immediately were thuslsstlc. Their willingness to accept a new idea resulted in the building of the new 48-inch Schmidt hoops which this week mm mak- ing astronomical history.

During the next four years the Schmidt will bs busy photographing some three-quarters of inc heavens, cakiola pictures of slurs up to 3m,- 000, ighi years lwa .

“It is inequitable to aspect Brit- ish West Indles colonies to com- pete in open markets with these colonies whose industrial effic- iency has been developed to a high standard owing to the mod- em equipment and mechanization financed by United States capital, and whose basic production is guaranteed protection in the Un- ited States markets."

The statement said the cost of living in the colonies has “risen considerably" because essential commodities were purchased at high prices from sterling sources. instead of at lower prices in dollar countries.
