Old Name is Good Enough

much as It's business includes pub

future leaders and scholars, men
like Archbishop Michael J. Corrigan
and Dr. Henry Brand. In 1890, St.
Francis XaVier's School at Bohemia
Manor was transferred to George
town, Washington, D. c., and today
is famous and thriving Georgetown
University, still conducted by the
scholarly sons of Ignatius.
Little wonder, then, that every
Catholic newspaper in the country is
carrying this week Bohemia's story,
under the caption Field Mass on
Site of First Catholic School in Am
erica" and it would cause even less
wonder did the heads of Catholic
education in America, in the very
near future, meet in annual pill
grimage at Old Bohemia Church. In
fact. this seems to be a cherished
hone and expectation of Father
John H. Walsh, the pastor of Mid
dletoWn and Bohemia, who super
vises the annual field mass there at
the shrine and hallOwed spot sacred
to the memory of Jesuit Fathers
who "in yesteryears spent them
selves and were spent, as the Apos-
ties of old, for the salvation OF
souls" Tourists from all parts OF
the country are even now stopping
off to visit Bohemia Manor, and II
would i'll befit the Catholics OF the
Diocese of Wilmington to be ignor-
ant of the historical gem they DOS
sess or receant to their duty of pre-
serving it for future generations OF
American Catholics.
According to a sketch by Rev.
James L. dcSweeney of Whining
ton, Bohemia is not only rich in
Jesuit traditions, but in Sulpician
traditions as well. When the Jesuits
moved the school to Georgetown IN
1890, the Sulpician Fathers reopen
ed Bohemia as a preparatory semi
nary. under Father Ambrose Mare
chal. who afterwards became Arch
bishop of Baltimore. In 1893 they
withdrew to Baltimore and remain
ed there till the founding of their
now famous seminary at Ellicott
City and Catonsville-St. Charles
College. So, Bohemia is not only
sacred to the Jesuits-educatOrs OF
the Catholic youth of America-but
it is likewise a sacred spot to the
Fathers of st. Sulpice-frOm whose
seminaries have come the priesthood
(Catholic) of the United States.
Hence, Bohemia is the site of the
first Catholic College and the first
Catholic preparatory seminary in
America.
It was. to the early Catholic sett-
lers, for in Bohemia cemetery, are
buried the mortal remains of hun
dreds of whose bodies were brought
from distant points that they might
rest in consecrated ground.

BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY
Tins STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Impe-
tus was given to the move to put
Senator. Sherman Minton 3D., Ind
on the Federal bench and Gov. Nc
Mutt, in the Senate when Senator
Frederick Van Mugs Cd, Ind an
nounced his support for the plan
today.
Senator Van Mugs had rec
commended two other Hooslers for
Federal judgeshipS, but had not
committed himself on the aSpira-
lions of his junior colleague.
Following a call from Senator
Minton, Senator Van Mugs said:
Certainly if my Democratic col
league is a candidate for a Federal
judgeship he will have my utmost
support"
The plan, to be carried out after
the Nov. elections, is for Senator
Minton to be named to cne of two
vacancies on the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals at Chicago.
Horner Might Be Named
1t is said to be somewhat con-
tingent upon reelection of Gov.
Henry Horner of Illinois, who might
be appointed to the bench if de-
feated in November
One of the appointments is GER
tain to go to Illinois, and Rep. j.
Leroy Adair of the Fifteenth District
has been mentioned as likely to be
named.
Should Senator Minton be named,
Gov. McNutt would take his Senate
seat by appointment. Senator Van
Nuys' support for the plan marks a
rapprochement between the Hoosier
Democratic faction leaders - Van
Mugs and McNutt-who have been
at loggerheads in every primary
campaign in Indiana since each
took Office.
Senator Minton's term expires in
1941. Gov McNutt, if appointed to
succeed him, would serve until the
election two years hence, when he
should have to stand test at the
polls.

TAX SUBSTITUTE.
GAINS SUPPORT
Boost in Corporation Levy
and for Average Man
Seems Likely.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, May 16.-The
Senate Finance Committee met to-
day at the grave of the New Deals
original proposed tax on undivided
corporate profits apparently pre-
pared to accept the general basis of
a compromise boosting income levies
on corporations and on the average
man.
Rebels against the corporate
profits tax contended they had
killed the levy originally proposed
by President Roosevelt. despite re-
tention of drastically modified
fundamentals of the 1903 ,000, 900
House bill.
Democratic veterans, conceding
that the substitute would be &C.
cepted with changes in certain de-
tails, said that attempts would be
made to block increase of normal
income rates from 4 to S per cent
and to change other details but ad-
mitted the income tax boost, de-
signed to raise 100000, probably
would be accepted.
The increase was considered
politically unwise by some veteran
campaigners because of the coming
elections and because it was feared
Republicans would attempt to use
it in discussion of the cost to the
average taxpayer of the New Deal
program.
