ZION SENIOR GUARD
ENJOYS ANNUAL FISH FRY

The Zion Senior Guard held
their annual Fish-Fry in the
Social rooms of the College
Building. The large and am
pie supply of fish were gar
nered by Overseer M. J. Min
tern and Chief, Earl Casperson
and Charley York on their re-
cent trip to Earl's lodge on
Sand Point in the Crane Lake
district of northern Minneso-
ia.
The generous portions of de-
licious fish came from five
large Northerns caught by the
three fishermen and fried to
tasty brown by Mrs. Clark
Pitcher. Other parts of the
bountiful meal were the results
of several of the wives recipes
and cookery. Forest Peters, as
usual, brought an ample sup
ply of ice cream, which on
piece of pie brought the fine
dinner to close.
AS Mr.. Casperson announced
at the outset of the evening,
after the dinner more of So
cial time was planned than a
set program, though Earl could
not refrain from thanking the
wives for their forbearance on
not being with their husbands

u. ). Places Damper
On Rumors That Reds
Plan 10 Lift Blockade

American official caution put a
damper today on widespread ru-
mors of Russian proposals to end
the Berlin blockade. although
authorities here would not be
surprised II the Soviet does present
such a proposal soon.
The State Department took note
of the newest crop of reports about
possible Russian-American peace
talks" but declined to comment on
any of them.
Press Officer Michael J. Nc
Dermott said yesterday the rumors
are 80 many and varied that the
department will make no comment
on any Of them,
Called "Wishful Thinking"
In Berlin, the Associated Press
reported, an American official
source said German "wishful
thinking" is giving rise to the re-
ports of Russian moves toward
lifting the blockade.
Both American and British off,
cials in Germany discounted Lon
don newspaper reports that Soviet
Gen. Georgiev Malinin was on the
way to Washington with some pro-
posal. These reports were described
as speculative nonsense"
Officials here expect that when
the Russians are ready to make a
firm proposal to settle the Berlin
problem it will be put forward in
strict secrecy and not be accom-
panied by the flood Of reports such
as those which developed over the
week end.
Painful to Soviet Bloc.
A conviction that the Berlin
blockade is proving more painful
to the Soviet bloc than to the West
leads authorities to hope the
Soviet may make such a move
soon. While the airlift keeps the
Western sectors Of Berlin supplied
over the Russian blockade, the
VESTS counter-blockade is shut
ting Eastern Germany and Soviet
SATELLITE, states of from much
needed industrial goods.
1t is stressed here that any
suegptiations must be on ternis
satisfactory to the West. That Is,
Russia must lift her blockade of
Berlin before getting the resurnp-
ton Of Big Four talks on other
German problems which she wants.

penance and holy Eucharist
| Nest Severe Penalty.
Under the archbishops edics
Father Feeney is forbidden 10 say
mass. preach or administer sacra-
ments Of the Catholic Church
The punishment Is one OF the
most severe that can be imposed
on a priest and is commonly re-
ferred TO as being "silenced."
Spokesman for the archdiocese
said Father Feeney must make
total submission 10 his superiors
before he can again perform his
priestly functions He remains q
priest although without the au-
thority to carry out his duties.
The instructors dismissed by
Boston College are: James r
Walsh. philosophy teacher. Fakhrl
Maluf. assistant professor OF
philosophy. and Charles Ewaskio
assistant professor OF physics.
Accused College Of Heresy.
The controversy reyolves
around the question whether per-
sons outside the church can at
tain salvation. The instructors
insist the church doctrine holds
that non-Catholics cannot be
saved. authoritative Catholic
sources say they can.
The church stand is set forth
in the Baltimore Catechism. a
publication used in instructing all
Roman Catholics.
Catechism Quoted.
He who knows the church to
be the true church and remains
out Of it cannot be saved" the
catechism states. This applies to
men of bad faith who sin against
the truth: it does not apply to
men of good faith that belong
to the soul Of the church"
The soul of the church" is
defined as all that possess God s
grace even If they are not actual
members"
Archbishop Gushing criticized
the instructors for the seri-
Gus scandal they have caused.
Weighty points OF dogma are not
debated in headlines nor made
the occasion of recrimination and
immoderate attack on constituted
authority"
Charges Defiance OF Orders.
He said the public controversy
Obliged me to reveal the unhappy
fact that Father Feeney has been
defying the orders Of his legitimate
superiors for more than seven
months"
Before the archbishops decree
was issued Father Feeney said st.
Benedict's Center has taken steps
to place the documents Of the
controversy in the hands of every
bishop. every cardinal. patriarch
and metropolitan bishop in the
world"
Vatican City sources reported an
earlier appeal to the Pope had
been referred to Archbishop Cush-
ing for jurisdiction. The three
instructors said they asked the
archbishop to seek a meeting Of
the Vatican Council for IAN in
fallible pronouncement by Pope
Plus XII on the issue involved"
Father Feeney is the author OF
many books. including the widely
read Fish on Friday" published
in 1894. He was literary editor of
America, the National Catholic
weekly, from 1895 to 1910. s
He has been q member Of the
Jesuit order since 1914 and was
ordained to the priesthood in 1925.
He attended college at Woodstock,
Md, and received a master Of arts
degree in 1927. He was president
of the Catholic Poetry Society for
two years, 1s39-194l.

When the bill reached the House
