The cases were lifted over the
side to waiting trucks. Mats
were placed on the bottoms of the
trucks and four r-by-fours were
put over the mats to prevent
jarring. Before the trucks were
ready to go, mats were placed
between the cases and the whole
business was strapped in.

AS a security measure, an armed
guard rode each truck and motor

The sailors and stevedores
couldn't have been more careful
if they had been handling nitro
glycerine. The sailors, Comdr.
Merrill explained, were invited to
a lecture aboard ship at which DR..
Buschbeck told them about the
paintings and showed them pic
lures. The stevedores, too. were
briefed. They knew they were
handling paintings from Europe
and that the paintings were
valuable.
One sailor, a metalsmith, ex-
planned his gang was in charge of
securing the paintings aboard the
ship.

The Austrian Minister, DR.. Lud-

He recalled that the two govern

|3E|ections Next Month
Watched for Effect on
1850 Congress Races
By the Associated Press

Two House races and a Senate
contest may provide some inkling
next month of how the people feel
about the record of the 81st Con-
gress. The three special elections
all will be held November 8.
Republicans generally concede
that Senator Dulles is facing an
uphill battle against former Dem
ocratic Gov. Herbert H. Lehman
in New York. They are running
to fill the unexpired term of Sen
ator Wagner, Democrat, who re-
signed.
Mr.. Lehman said here yesterday
after a call on President Truman
that he and the President have
definitely concluded" he is going
to win. He said the President had
offered to make campaign speech
for him, but that this would not
be necessary.
Woman Expected to Win.
In another New York race, a
woman Democrat, Mrs. Edna F.
Kelly, is favored to win the 10th
district congressional seat vacated
by the death of Representative
Somers, Democrat.
This Brooklyn area is heavily
Democratic. Republican George
H. Fankuchen is given only an
outside chance to win, despite the
presence of American Labor Party
and Liberal Party candidates inI
the race. The latter pair might
be expected to cut the Democratic
vote.
A special House election in the
5th California District may fur
nish some idea of what West
Coast voters think about national
issues.
Despite the fact that they have
held the district for about 4OI
years, Republicans say they are
none too sure of electing a party
member to take the place of Rep
resentative Welch, Republican,
who died.
Mr.. Welch had won both Dem
ocratic and Republican nomina-
tions since 1926, so there has been
no real general election battle
there in % years.
=
Republican Lloyd Cosgrove, a
lawyer. is being opposed by Dem
ocrat John F. Shelley, an Amer
lean Federation of Labor official,
on a ballot that does not carry
party designations. Charles r.
Garry, who ran on the Henry A.
Wallace Progressive Party ticket
last year, is third entry in the
race.
The New York Senatorial race
result may have a widespread ef-
feet on the 1850 battle for con-
troll of Congress.
Mr.. Lehman has indorsed most
of what President Truman calls
his fair deal" program. The ad-
ministration intends to make that
program the main issue next year,
if it can.
Senator Dulles, on the other
hand. has been attacking what he
calls the centralization of govern
ment in Washington. a theme
that is likely to be popular with
Republicans throughout the coun-
try If he should win next month.

Archbishop 0'Boy|e
Gives PaIadin Medals
To 10 al Service Here

Paladin Jewel medals were pre-
sented yesterday by Archbishop
Patrick A. O'Boyle to 10 persons
who performed outstanding service
in the Catholic Students Mission
Crusade.
The presentations were made at
special ceremony in st. Mat
thew's Cathedral as part of
the observance of Mission Sunday
in which 435,00O.000 Catholics
throughout the world participated.
The Rev. Ignatius Smith, dean
OF the School of Philosophy at
Catholic University, delivered a
sermon in which he declared:
THE Catholic Church in many
lands is challenged by totalitarian-
ism Communism to prove once
again that it is filled with the
Divine life it claims. The devasta-
ton of war erased suddenly the
results of centuries of missionary
efforts in many places. In all of
these places we have to start all
over again. burdened with the ire
mendous expense which this re-
storation involves.
Predicts Communism Defeat.
"A dozen countries, with 5O,-
100000 Catholic people, have been
placed behind the Iron Curtain.
Goddess Communism under Stain
is determined in it's war on God
to destroy the strongest defender
OF divine rights in human society
the Catholic Church. To the
Communists the Catholic Church
must die. That is to us a chal-
lenge. We take it up gladly,
knowing that the Holy Ghost,
protecting the church, is on our
side and that victory will come
soon If we do our part in the
struggle that lies ahead"
He added that the Catholic
answer to Communism is renewed
determination to spread the gos-
pei of Jesus Christ among all
men,"
The Rev. Russell A. Phelan,
archdiocesan director of the So
city for the Propagation of the
Faith, presented the following
medal recipients to Archbishop
O'Boyle:
The Rev. Bruno McAndrew,
O.S.B., of st. Anselm's Priory;
Paul Liston, st. Paul's Academy;
Geraldine Borowski, Immaculate
Conception Academy; Winifred
Demrick, st. Cecilia's Academy;
Christine Kennedy, Holy Cross
Academy; Mary Anne Kinnahan,
st. Patrick's Academy: Judith
Osborn, Holy Trinity High School,
and Virginia Woods, Notre Dame
Academy.
S148,000 Donated.
Presentations in absentia were
made to Mary Lou Prehn, for
merly of Immaculate Conception
Academy, and Maureen Harahan,
formerly of Immaculate Semi
nary, who are attending out-of-
town colleges.
Archbishop O'Boyle announced
that more than $148,O0O was
raised in the Washington arch
diocese last year for missionary
activities in the United States and
foreign lands.
Msgr. John S. Spence, arch
diocesan director of education, led
special prayers for missionary
workers. Others among the 3l2
priests participating in the serv-
ices were the Most Rev. John M.
Mcnamara, auxiliary bishop;
Msgr. James E. Cowhig, chancellor
OF the archdiocese, and Msgr.
Henry Graebenstein, pastor of
Holy Comforter Church.

The Samaritan Passover

ly up to today to the Torah, they
never admitted any of the proph-
etical teachings and never codi-
fled their law in the mishna.
They venerate Gerizim and not
Jerusalem and it is on the hill
of Gerizim that the annual cele-
bration Of the Passover festival
takes place.
On the eve of the Passover the
Samaritans leave their homes in
Nablus in long procession lead
ing over the stony hillside to the
holy site of Gerizim only a few
miles away. A big square on the
hilltop, marked in parts by a
low wall of piled-up stones is
roped off and around this square
the Samaritans pitch their tents
in which they live during the
eight-day festival.
True to tradition, the women
put in practically no appearance
in all the proceedings and spend
most of their time inside the
tents, unless busy preparing the
food The children play around
between the tents or help their
mothers with household" chores.

their external history became

i long white holiday garb and
white turban-like headgear, busy
themselves fixing the tents or
chatting in groups and saying
their prayers at the prescribed
times. Beautiful Oriental car
pets adorn the interiors of the
tents and some pillows, boxes
and household utensils make up
the sparse furnishings OF these
temporary quarters
Throughout the day before the
Seder all adults observe a strict
fast and at sunset the male men,
bers of the community assemble
for prayers which continue I'M
til midnight. Led by their high
priest the men sing their pray
ers in Hebrew and the more SOL
emn passages are marked by the
members of the congregation by
kneeling and bowling their heads
to the ground. Crowds of inter-
ested onlookers from all parts of
the country flock to Mount Ger
izim to watch the proceedings
and to spend the night with the
celebrants in the open.
The highlight Of the ceremon-
les is the traditional offering of
lamb which is slaughtered rit-
ually and then put into the
flames of bonfire to the accom-
paniment of loud sing-song pray
ers. Meanwhile the women have
prepared boiling water in huge
kettles over open fires and this
is later used to clean a good num-
Der of sheep slaughtered for the
midnight meal. The sheep are
then roasted on skewers over
the same fires and when the fast
is broken at midnight the men
sit around in circles and are
waited on by the women.
Unlike the crisp square or
round Matzoth eaten in most
parts of he world where Jews
celebrate Passover. the Samari-
tans have large, thin, oblong soft
pieces of doughty unleavened
bread. The traditional Passover
herbs and spices are rolled into
these Matzoth, lending some fla
vor to the otherwise tasteless
baked dough.
