...grew, it encountered opposition. Plump Maria Theresa of Austria, a doting and jealous wife, had her husband's Masonic lodge raided because she was sure that her philandering Francis was up to no good. More effective opposition came from the Catholic Church. Pope Clement XII, in 1738, issued a papal edict denouncing Masonry as a trespass on the church's spiritual and moral domain. Rome's opposition to Masonry has been unceasing. The church, which excommunicated all Communists last week, has been excommunicating Masons for 200 years...

In 1948 he was made executive vice president...
...hopeful about the immediate future of his railroad. He expects Pennsy's 1949 freight volume to fall 15% behind 1948, but anticipates better things by the end of 1950. He will not be president for long after that. Railroaders guessed he will be moved up when Clement leaves the chairmanship and Operating Vice President James M. Symes (rhymes with whims), 51, will take over the throttle. An up-from-the-ranks man also, Jim Symes has great visions of the Pennsy's future, once hopefully proclaimed: "The railroads have a potential travel market that requires only tapping...
