A new experimental class in the Thomas System of shorthand has recently been organized for dents in business education. stu-I THE COURSE carries no Uni- versity credit but its instructor, Elsie Freitag, expects that by the end of the summer session, her students will be taking words at the rate of 60 to 80 per minute. Miss Freitag said that the av- erage rate in longhand is about 37 words a minute. The Thomas System is compar- atively new and according to Miss Freitag, it is much simpler and requires only about half as long to learn as other shorthand sys- tems in use today. * * * THOMAS, because he felt that the shorthand systems being taught at the time took too long to teach, published a system of his own in 1935. In this system, he combined some of the principles of other methods in devising a shorthand that is claimed to be just as fast, but muchesimpler than other current methods. Miss Freitag said that she has trained people in the course who have never had any shorthand ex- perience in twenty hours and those with a knowledge of another sys- tem, in about half that time. * * * THE THOMAS system is a con- sonal system. As Miss Freitag ex- plained, the first vowel of the word is left alone and the remain- ing vowels are dropped. The class meets at 4 p.m., Mon- day, Wednesday and Friday in Rm. 268 Bus.Ad. Building.

STRUGGLE THROUGH HISTORY: Religions Batle for Lives of Unborn. 4.. i I mommummow S6.PICT:0-Ri . IPenny Singleton . Arthur Lake Doors Open 1:15 P.M. TODAY and SAT.!

NOW ON THE SCREEN!P Added "Ghost of Zorro" By The Associated Press Religions over a vast area of this planet are engaged today in a cli- mactic struggle for the minds and souls of generations yet unborn. The major battle has been join- ed in Eastern Europe between the forces of religion and the ruling Communists. Behind the Iron .Curtain organized religion fights for its life. * * * IN THE SOVIET tJNION, the official line, as pronounced by Prime Minister Stalin himself, is Slovak Reds Fight Catholics PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia-(A)- Roman Catholic and diplomatic sources reported today loyal Cath- olics are rioting against Commu- nist groups in Slovakia in the spreading church-state conflict. In some areas of intensely Cath- olic Slovakia it was necessary for Communist authorities to impose martial law for a period of about 60 hours, a diplomatic source here said. * * * -"PERSISTENT reports about troubles keep coming in," said a reliable source in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. The Communist government's ministry of interior in Prague did not deny the reports. The Information Ministry said "the ministry of interior says it has no official report on these matters. It gives no confirmation, nor is there any official denial." * * * POLICE IN ONE of the areas reported , affected, Turciansky Svaty Martin, last night denied the reports and said they were ex- periencing "exemplary quiet." The Catholic and diplomatic in- formants here said that in the town of Nitra in southwest Slo- vakia, 20 persons were injured in clashes and one policeman was= severely beaten. LAST COMPLETE SHOW 8:20 P.M. Continuous from 1 P.M. COOL that there shall be no interfer- ence whatever with the campaign of. anti-religious propaganda. This dramatic struggle occu- pies a great share of the world's attention today. Elsewhere in the world there are conflicts and frictions involving great re- ligions. In the past few years, Moslem fought Jew in the Mid- dle East in what the Arabs pro- claimed a "Holy War;" Hindus and Moslems were at each oth- ers' throats in sprawling Asia. In other areas there have been islands of repression where free- dom of worship as it is known to most of the West could not be said to exist. IN THE WEST appeals have been sounded by religious leaders for a closing of ranks, but the pleas run afoul of old quarrels. In the United States, for exam- ple, the age-old debate of Catho- lics and Protestants over separa- tion of church and state has flared anew. In summary, here is the situ- ation in which organized relig- ion finds itself after the blood- spattered decade which began with World War II: Overshadowing all the conflicts is the struggle in Middle and East Europe between the Vatican and the Kremlin. ** * IN THE TENTH tempestuous. year of the reign of Pope Pius XII, the Vatican describes his Ro- man Catholic Church as "an army ready for battle," to prevent his 50,000,000 followers behind the Iron Curtain from being forced to deny their allegiance. The Church, striking back in fury, has excommunicated all Yugoslavs, all Hungarians, all Czechoslovaks who willingly took part in the acts against the Church which have stirred pro- tests throughout the Western World. The governments of Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania stand charged by the Western powers with violating their peace treaty by their anti-religious actions. THE CAMPAIGN against the1 Church in eastern Europe is not so crude as the ancient persecu- tions in which Christians were thrown wholesale to the lions. It TODAY and SATURDAY! BIN.

"THE LIFE OF RILEY" is, rather, a methodical, grinding- down process apparently aimed more -at the next generation than the present one. Organized religion contends it offers a rallying point for pos- sible opposition to Communism. Thus, the Communists seek to deprive the Church of followers by cutting off means of educa- ting rising generations in church doctrine. The drive has been toward gov- ernment seizure of church schools, prohibition of church publications, muzzling of church spokesmen. There are inescapable indica- tions, too, of sharp repressions against the Jews, still not recov- ered from the awful torture of the years under Hitler. Jews who fled eastward to Russia now find them- selves caught in the middle of a whirlpool, fearful of those to whom they had looked in hope for liberation. IN THE UNITED STATES, del- egates to a conference of Ameri- can Protestants this Spring weigh- ed the idea of a meeting of top Protestant and Catholic leaders in the world in the cause of relig- ious freedom. The resolution was tabled, and there has been no further action. At Wellesley, Mass., last week, Prof. John C. Bennett of the Union Theological Seminary urged world Congregationalist leaders to steer clear of the anti-Communist crusade of the Roman Catholic hierarchy. Catholics and Protestants have been in controversy recently over government aid to parochial (Catholic) schools, which some Protestant groups say violates the principle of separation of church and state. The same principle is violated, these Protestants claim, by the presence in the Vatican of a representative of President Tru- man. BRITAIN has its share of re- ligious arguments, although there is no question of repressions there. The Vatican often is criticized by spokesmen of the Church of Eng- land, and feeling against the Church of Rome manifests itself in such ways as the widespread protest over the visit of Princess Margaret to the Pope recently. In Mexico last year there were outbreaks of Catholic violence against Protestants, although Catholic authorities said the Prot- estant charges in these cases were overdrawn. What will be the fate of relig- ions in China under the conquer-, ing Communists, only time will tell. Possibly significant is a re- port from Communist-ruled Nor- thern Korea saying a Catholic bishop, three priests and 27 Cath- olic brothers have been imprisoned in a Red campaign against the church. a on Gandhi "Gandhian Philosophy" will be the topic of a talk by B. K. Kapur, education officer from the In- dian Embassy in Washington, 4:15 p.m. today at Rackham Amphi- theatre.

DuPont Is Hit As Monopoly CHICAGO - (M)-The Federal government has added the huge Du Pont industrial empire to a growing list of large companies it has charged with monopolizing the nation's business. A civil suit filed in Federal Dis- trict Court accused the E. I. Du- Pont De Nemours Co., Wilmington, Del., of monopolistic practices and asked that it be divorced from General Motors Corp., and the United States Rubber Company of New York. FILED BY the governmnet's Anti-Trust Division, the suit charges the three films violated the Sherman Act byq making se- cret rebates and by dividing sev- eral fields of manufacturing amongst themselves to eliminate competition. The suit named as defendants: E. I. Du Pont de Nemours, Gen- eral Motors, U.S. Rubber, Chris- tiana Securities Co., Delaware Realty and Investment Corp., Pierre S. Du Pont, Lammot du Pont, Irenee du Pont, and all members of the du Pont family related by blood or marriage to Pierre, Lammot, or Irenee who hold voting stock in either U.S. Rubber, Christiana Securities or Delaware Realty. The suit describes Delaware Realty and Christiana Securities as "personal holding companies" of the du Pont family, through which they gained control of Gen- eral Motors and U.S. Rubber.
