ay,shs Asseeiatsd Press

VATICAN ssCITY, Feb. s-Pope
Plus XII today invoked holy bless
ings on Jewish charity efforts.
The pontfn received q delegation
of 20 American Jewish leaders in
Europe to survey the problem Of
Jewish displaced persons.
The survey is part of the United
Jewish appeal which this year seeks
to raise $3.50. .000. 900 to aid Jews in
Europe and Palestine.
The Pope. speaking In English,
said: We gladly invoke the bless
ing of God most high on all chari-
table endeaYors you may undertake
in His NAME.
May His grace and love help all
men to purge this divinist human
sentiment and duty of all that could
be unworthy OF its author, and thus
bring peace back soon to His great
human family and ours"
l. The delegation, which represents
Jewish organizations in 16 American
cities, is scheduled to leave soon for
Palestine to inspect Jewish progress
and resettlement there.
In an address last night the Pope
described the atom bomb as "the
most terrible arm that the mind
Of man has yet devised" and urged
scientists to turn atomic energy to
works Of peace.
The pontiff, in an address before
the Pontifical Scientific Academy,
asked:
What catastrophe must human
ity await from q future conflict If
1t is shown impossible to halt or
curb the use of always new and
always more surprising scientific
inventions?"
Scientists from the United States,
Italy, Fire, Austria, Belgium and
Portugal heard the papal address.
Several cardinals and diplomatic
representatives to the Holy See
also were present at the ceremony
in Consistorial Hall.
Referring to st. Augustine's criti-
cism of war, the Pontiff said II
past conflicts deserve so severe a
censure, with what voice should
we now Judge those that have struck
our generations and bent to the
service of their works of destruction
and determination q technique in
comparatively more advanced"
The Pontiff outlined discoveries
that have developed the bomb.
"The result of these marvellous
Investigations" he said, docs not
represent SO much conclusion as
the passage to new .learnings and
the beginning of what has been
called the atomic era"
The Pope described recent scien-
tific advances as "a marvellous con-
quest of human intellect, that stud
les and investigates the laws Of
nature, bringing humanity with it
through new roads"
May it give more noble concep-
tions," he said.
The Pontiff said the diversion Of
atomic energy to works of peace
should be well regarded as an in
vestigation and application, truly
genial. Of those laws of nature that
regulate the intimate essence and
activity of inorganic matter"

DETROIT, Dec. Coach Fritz
Crisler of Michigan, informed today
that the Nations sports writers had
rated his Wolverines superior to
Notre Dame, commented that "the
men who voted couldn't have made
a mistake if they had picked either
team"
"Of course, I feel highly honored
on behalf of the team and the uni
versity," the Michigan coach said.
The men who voted couldn't
have made mistake if they had
picked either team. Coach Leahy
is a superb coach and both teams
are fine. I am very humble. and
happy for my kids about it all.
when the early polls came in I
found them very interesting, but
frankly, I rather questioned their
merit. I thought those who saw
both teams play would have bet
ter opinion. However, in this poll
everyone was asked simple ques-
tion-to choose between the teams.
That makes the result more inter-
esting." .-
Asked II he thought Michigan
could beat Notre Dame, Crisler said !:
That's an argument that will
keep hot stove leagues going all
winter. 1t isn't the function of an
educational institution to win foot
bail games, nor would victory have
any bearing on the degree the
player gets"

There are no bright lights here
