Dr.. Walsh 10 Reply
To Nazi Newspaper
Attack Upon Pope
AssuiIs Grossness Shown
By Hitler Journal us
World Bows in Grief

Charging that Adolf Hitler's Off
cial newspaper had given "the only
public insult to the memory of Plus
XII" DR.. Edmund A. Walsh, S. j.,
vice president of Georgetown Uni
versity, said today he would reply
to the calumniator" Friday evening
IN his first public lecture.
Besides calling on the cardinals
to "elect a pro-Nazi Pope" DR..
Walsh said the Voelkischer Beo-
bachter had "belittled" and other
wise cast" contemptuous aspersions"
on the dead pontif1's efforts to pro-
tect the church in Russia and his
opposition to the Nazi policy of
racial discrimination.
while the whole world bows its
head in sincere sympathy that is a
fine tribute to its own innate human
1t, one raucous voice invades the
sanctuary of our grief with insolent
recriminations, DR.. Walsh said.
'"The time and the hour is too sacred
for Catholics to indulge in new
polemics. We are chanting a re-
QUEEN for a fallen soldier of Christ.
But by Friday evening, Plus XII will
have been laid to his honored rest
among saints and scholars near the
tomb of the Prince of the Apostles. +"
DR.. Walsh said that the grossness
OF the attack on the dead pontiff by
q paper controlled by the Chan
cellor of the German Reich, is only
equaled by its ineptness.
There is probably no other civil
lized government in the world which
would permit publication under
It's control to insult the dead pontiff
before his body was cold and while
Its embassy in Rome was lowering
Its flag to half-mast in diplomatic
courtesy to the ruler of the Vatican
state" DR.. Walsh said.

For the third day the public
swarmed into st. Peters for a view
of the body of the Pope before the
burial.
Sunshine again flooded the great
square in front Of the cathedral
after yesterdays rain. The flow of
people past the bier began at 8 am.
Although the column of visitors was
somewhat smaller than yesterday
check indicated it filed past at the
rate of 5000 persons an hour.
Hundreds Of thousands had passed
the bier when the doors closed at

that million persons had seen the

body in death.

He is the first since the Lateran &C
cord 10 years ago, which he helped
bring about and which freed the
pontiff as prisoner of the Vatican"
and brought Italian recognition of
Vatican sovereignty.
Pope Piux TX, the first Pope to die

government of Italy and the Popes
became prisoners in the Vatican,
died February 7, 1878, and was buried
in the Basilica of st. Lawrence Out

Transferred to Tomb.
Pope Leo XIII, who died July 20,

John Lateran. The body was kept
for many years in St. Peters until
a tomb could be prepared in st.
John Lateran to which it was trans
ferred in October, 1924.
Pope Plus K died August 20, 1914,
and Benedict XIV on January %,
1922, both having instructed that
they be buried in the grottoes of
st. Peters.
When Plus XII visited the vatican
grottoes several weeks ago on the
eve of the feast day of st. Peters,
June 20, he told Archbishop Pei
lizzo, business secretary of St.
Peters, that he also had chosen the
grottoes as his sepulchre and added
that he would be very happy to
repose in q place 80 august and

PUPILS ASKED TO GET SOCIAL

AS the graduation season ap-
proaches high school students are
advised to obtain social security ar
count numbers before seeking en-
ployment This recommendation
was made by Mr.. Glenn H. Pitten-
ger, manager of the Social Security
Board field office in GAINESVILLE.
"Many employers now insist that
new workers show their social Sc
curity numbers before taking up en-
ployment," Mr.. Pittenger said. "It
is much easier to get number be-
fore applying for work, whether
temporary or permanent, than it is
to have to go to our office later and
get a card. Meantime the job may
be taken by someone else. Nu1-
bers should be obtained even though
there is no immediate certainty of
work. Any person who works IN
commerce or industry is covered by
the old-age insurance system, ex-
cept in few specific cases There
is no age limit on the down side, so
far as coverage is concerned. Work
ers who reach age 65 no longer are
covered under old-age insurance, as
the social security law now stands

at that age"
