...members are old, and ineligible for relief because they are transients. The C. U. U.'s program, like that of the Catholic Worker, is intended to comply with papal teachings, "to bring all men back to Christ." Specifically, it advocates: a back-to-the-land movement; worker-ownership and "equitable distribution of the fruits of man's labor"; public ownership of public utilities; parish cooperatives, co-operative hostels and workshops for the unemployed...
...four advertise books. But Sears, Roebuck is a big factor in one branch of the book business. Since 1920 it has owned a controlling interest in the Encyclopædia Britannica (total sales-1,000,000 sets). First published in Scotland in 1768, the Britannica came under U. S. ownership 35 years ago, barely squeezed through its 12th, 13th and 14th editions, was often rescued by the late Julius Rosenwald when he headed Sears, Roebuck.

There will be a quick sale for it. The public can discover its unsoundness later, when the money is already in the till. Naturally...
That raising rates is merely a palliative has long been the contention of almost everyone except railroad officers and investors. ICC's Carroll Miller took occasion to reiterate his favorite belief that nothing can save the roads from Government ownership except consolidation into a single unified national system. How Labor will take the scaling down of duplicate services is not hard to imagine. Burton K. Wheeler, chairman of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee, reiterated his favorite belief that "some of the roads must go through the wringer."
