Catholic Marriage
BY the Assoeieisd prsss

BOSTON. July 5.-A represent
ative of Roman Catholic couple
who said they were denied
church marriage because Of their
connection with st. Benedict's
Center. which has been banned by
the Boston Archdiocese, hoped to
discuss the matter today with the
chancellor of the Archdiocese.
Philip Gammans. "a. Of Scars
dale, N. Y. a former Harvard stu
dent, said a secretary Of the chan
cellor, the Right Rev. Walter J.
Furlong, told him last night the
chancellor would telephone him
this morning.
Mr.. Gammans identified himself
as a spokesman for Doris Cou-
lombe, %, of Brookline. and
Thomas Sennott. 26, Of Arlington.
The couple and Mr.. Gammans are
members of the center.
Couple Tells of Denial.
The couple said Archbishop
Richard J. Gushing refused them
an audience Saturday night and
pushed them from his residence.
Neither the archbishop nor other
church officials would comment.
The archbishop recently banned
Catholics from the center-an ed
ucational project-following the
Boston College heresy case. A
priest refused to marry the couple
after the ban became effective.
Mr.. Gammans said the ARCH
bishop advised him to contact the
chancery Office when he tried to
get an appointment to discuss the
situation.
He told me-" Mr.. Gammsns
said, 1T was not his concern and
said the chancery would answer
any questions we might bring up"
Ban on Center May Be Discussed.
In addition to the case involv-
ing the couple, Mr.. Gammans said
he also wanted to discuss the ban
placed on the center by the arch
bishop.
The archbishop deprived the
Rev. Leonard J. Feeney, s. j.. Ill
rector of the center. Of his priestly
duties last April for supporting
three Boston College professors
who disputed teachings of the col
lege operated by Jesuit priests.
The professors contended the
institution was spreading heresy
by teaching that non-Catholics
could be saved. The professors

NationaIists Believed
Making Raids From
Isles Near Shanghai
Nv the txxocioted Press

SHANGHAI, July 5.-National-
lists may be launching their almost
daily air raids on the Communist
held China coast from secret bases
in the Chushan Islands. about 100
miles southeast of Shanghai.
This was the opinion today of
well-informed military sources.
They suggested these islands are
being used as forward bases for
fighters and bombers whose home
fields are on the big island of
Formosa.
These sources pointed out:
Chushan's Japanese-built air.
strips would give the raiders more
time over Shanghai and other
coastal ports than would the long
haul of some 400 miles from
Formosa.
Strikes at the Communist in
terror would be possible from Chu-
shan fields.
Planes from the little islands
jutting northeast from Chekiang
Province could range with COM
parative ease north to Tientsin
and such Manchurian ports as
Yingkow and Hulutao.
Base Reported Operating.
A small Nationalist naval base
is reported still operating in the
islands. Nationalist navy craft
may be using this base in patrol
ling the China coast in support of
their blockade attempt.
Meanwhile. the Communists
have been beaming propaganda
broadcasts on Formosa, concen-
trating on navy and air force
personnel.
Pilots and navy men who de-
serted to the Reds have appealed
to still loyal Nationalists to come
over to the Communists.
Reliable reports from Formosa
say the Nationalist high command
permits only pilots having families
on Formosa to fly missions over
Red territory. Thus their return
is assured.
Remittances Halted.
In the economic sphere, remit
tances of money from abroad into
Shanghai were halted today by the
official Communist Central Bank
of China.
No reason was given for the
action, which aggravated the al
ready troublesome money situation
here. The action means any or
ganization which finances itself
by transferring money from an
other country into Shanghai now
has no source of funds.
These transfers have been used
for such essentials as wages, rents
and operating costs. Shanghai is
full of companies whose local in
comes have declined so sharply
they cannot meet their overhead
except by bringing money in.
Labor Unrest Increases.
First effect of the order was to
inject more unrest into the
Shanghai labor situation. Several
disputes which had been near
settlement were stalled again be-
cause companies can't bring in
money for wages.
Another effect was to increase
the free market exchange rate
