American Intimate Recalls Popes Loue Of Children
 And Enthusiasm for Flying
BY PAUL ROSS
TEA Service stan Correspondent

NEA Service Stan Correspondent New York, March A tall, thin, austere,. hard-working man with an interest in everything under the sun, a viewpoint so modern that he is completely air-minded, and a great, fatherly love for children that is the picture presented by John C. Kelly, New York advertis- ing man, of Eugenio Cardinal Pa- celli, now Pope Plus XII.
 MT. Kelly was the only layman to accompany Pacelli when, as Papal Secretary of State, the churchman made his 1886 visit to the United States and took a quick air jaunt across the conti- nent and back. Kelly made the arrangements.
 From Kelly,s recollections come anecdotes like these:r
 No matter what was the business that had to be disposed of, when first seeing Kelly morning or eve- ming, Paceln would invariably stop and ask: How are the children?" And almost every day he would have a little present for Kelly's children, 8 little medal, a string of beads. ' When the Cardinal was going up to Hyde Park, N. 'Y., to visit President Roosevelt, the party

operating on close schedule reached Poughkeepsie and there was met by Marvin Mcintyre, Roosevelt's secretary. A group of school children had also turned out for the occasion. Just as the Cardinals party was about to move off, Pacelli stopped the car, got out and walked over to ad- mire and talk to the children. Schedules meant nothing to him when there were youngsters around.
 Three things which impressed Paceni greatly on his visit were: l. The vastness of the country and the great beauty of such spots as Grand Canyon; 2. The ease and freedom with which one moved from state to state as compared with the diffi- culty of going from one European country to anothar; 3. The incred- ible speed of American news papers, especially the way they took a statement of his in the morning and had it on the streets in a few hours.
 Pacelli's daily life was every bit as austere and busy as that of his predecessor, Pope Plus XI. On his American visit, Pacelli. would rise ta a. m., go to mass, have small breakfast, then methodically go through the days mail.
 After lunch he would rest one hal fhour, go for an energetic one hour walk around the grounds, then attend to more mail and re- ceive visitors. He would study the American papers, have his supper at g, then retire.
 Fine Cardinal enjoyed travelling by air. Kelly believes that Paceli can pilot plane himself. On the transcontinental tour, when he wasn't asking questions about every thing, the Cardinal would sit back, pull out his portable typewriter and go to work writing speeches or let ters. While here he always wrote in English and made very few cor rections. He speaks English, French,

. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Peter Breaches To Gentiles
Text: Acts 1o:3O-4s

to overcome-even harder than so- cial prejudices--and Peter still had a very strong distinction in his mind between Jews and Gentiles.
 It was under these circumstances that Cornelius, a Roman centurian who had come under the ministry of the Gospel and who was sent to Joppa in response to 8 vision, asked Peter to come and instruct him in. the truth. Just what reply Peter might have made if it had not been for the vision on the house. top we do not know.
 But Peters vision prepared him for the request that came out of the vision of Cornelius. He perceived clearly that God is no, respecter of persons, "but in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to Him."
 The rest of the lesson tells of Peters intercourse with Cornelius, but here Is the great outstanding truth for us in the lesson !. God is no respecter of persons.
 Would God that men might un- derstand it and practice it in all their ways and relationships of lifel

ESKIMO HUNTERS
 SAVE CLERGYMAN
"Glacier Priest" to De- scribe Incident at Strand
 March IA

How an American Jesuit mis. < sionary was saved by a band of armed Eskimo hunters from arrest and imprisonment by Soviet officials when forced by storm to land on an island off the coast of Siberia is related by Rev. Bernard R. Hub- bard, professor of Geology at Santa Clara University, Alaskan explorer, better known as the "Glacier < Priest, who brings his newest mo- \ tion pictures, cliff Dwellers of the I Far North" to the Strand Theater on Tuesday, March 14th at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and at 8:3O in the evening under the auspices of the Notre Dame Alumnae association.
 Father Hubbard, who has just returned from his eleventh Alaskan expedition, during which he spent \ eighteen months among the Eskimos of King Island and explored 2,0OO miles of the Boring Sea and Artic Ocean north of Alaska in a native walrus skin open boat, says he has 8 cure for American communists.
 "Let them spend two weeks in Si- beria," he says. Siberia is a land ruled by fear. It is 8 place where no one, native or white, dares ex- press a personal opinion lest he be shot summarily. Siberian Eskimos are SO terror ized-they are afraid to accept as small a thing as 8 cigarette or a | cup of coffee from an American"
 Father Tom Cunningham, a Jesuit missionary stationed at Lesser Di- omede Island in the Boring Strait (U. s. territory, Father Hubbard explains, was out with a party of [ Eskimo walrus hunters when forced [ by storm to seek shelter on Rus- sia's neighboirng Greater Diomede Island.
 Angry Soviet officials" says Father Hubbard, 'nenaced Father Cunningham with pistols and at tempted to place him under arrest. Father Cunningham escaped seizure only because his armed Eskimo hunters, headed by their chief, ,Up- eraluk, refused to permit it. They were fully prepared to offer serious resistance, and the Soviet officials thought better of it."
 This incident, Father Hubbard says, is typical of the attitude of the Siberian Soviet officials, even toward the U. s. Coast Guard when landing in Siberia with full author ity to do so from Moscow and Washington.
