Hanover. N. Y., Nov. 20-CUPD-- The House American Activities Committee is stimulating the medic val inquisition and the modern Gestapo and is something to be bite terly ashamed of" according to pr. Harlow Shapley director of Harv- ard Observatory.
 Shapley criticized the committee and one of it's members, Rep. John Rankin, (D.-MiSS.), before a capac- fly audience at Dartmouth College last night.
 Recently, Shapley became in- volved in a controversy with the Un- American Activities Committee when he allegedly accused the Con- gressional group of "undemocratic methods" and Representative Ram kin responded that he would cite Shapley for contempt.
 Yesterday, a delegation Of Harv. ard students presented Shapley with a petition signed by more than 1,200 and pledging the support of the undergraduate body. The stu dent petition urged Shapley to continue your courageous fight against the actions of the un- American Activities Committee"

Brochure by Local Nun M Catholic Book Week Exhibit

Among the recent publications which will be featured during Na- tional Catholic Book Week in Wa terbury is This Many-Splendored Thing" written by Sister Mary Val erian of the Sisters. of Mercy, in- struetor of English and Latin at the Sacred Heart High School, this city. The book, in the form of brochure, has the subtitle: A Story for High School Girls Tn Which They Meet Mother McAuley.
 The attractively arranged brochure has for it's main theme the life of the foundress of the Sisters of Mercy Mother Mary Catherine McAuley, around which is woven secondary story of typical high school girl of today and her friends. Sister Valer- tan's novel treatment makes an en- gazing story about teen-agers, and presents likewise the impressive story of the life and good works of Mother McAuley who is introduced as 6 subject for study by C.Y.O. group, as typifying one of the great women of the Church.
 The book is timely and Sister Val erian's approach to her subject adept. Although Mother McAuley's life furnishes the main theme, the story of a high school girl, Ruth Holden, is written with understand ing by one who has had considerable experience and association with girls and boys of that age. The chapters devoted to the foundress are intro duced in the popular phrasing of the day, Meet. Mother McAuley."
 Ruth Holden's problems as told by the author could easily be those ex- perienced by many high school girls of today. In this particular instance the main character in the secondary story is brought to a fuller realiza- ton of her religious obligations through a study of the life of Mother McAuley and reading oS Thompson's The Hound of Heaven" which poem contains the title name, and which could be a vocation for the religious life, or the illimitable charity of the foundress of the Sisters of Mercy.
 Sister Valerian's book has excellent illustrations, some of these showing Mother McAuley' homes in Ireland, also a portrait of the foundress, and characters and scenes from the sec- ondary story. In the last named will be recognized students at the Sacred Heart High School.
 The dedication reads: ITO you,
