Mass Production
Of China Martyrs
Cited By Convert

DETROIT - NC) - There is a
"mass production of martyrs" go
ing on in China today which would
rival the martyrdom of early
Christianity in Rome, DR.. John C.
WI, convert and former Chinese
envoy to the Holy See, told a meet
ing of the First Friday Club here.
Requesting his audience of 700
men to pray for the Chinese peo-
pie, DR.. WI asserted: Tremendous
events are happening in China al
though they are not reported in
the headlines of the secular press.
Men and women are martyred ev-
cry day. In fact, there is mass
production of martyrs that recalls
the early days of Christianity"
Doctor WI said that the Con-
fucianism philosophy will make it
easier to convert China to Chris
tianity. He pointed out that the
basic tenet of Confucianism is fill
al piety which gives the Chinese
a strong devotion to the family.
He stressed that Christianity in
sists on a strong family life as es-
sential to a solid social order.

The Cardinal commented on a

OF Maryknoll Victim
OF Extortion Plot


MARYKNOLL, N. Y. - NC)-
The Maryknoll Society, which has
q number of missionaries in China,
will not let itself become victim of
Chinese communist extortion
scheme.
This was made unmistakably
clear by Bishop Raymond A. Lane,
Maryknoll Superior General. He
was commenting on news that
Bishop Adolph J. Paschang, M. NJ,
of Honeymoon, China, has three
times contacted the Maryknoll
house in Hong Kong to state that
local Red officials are demanding
money for him under torture. On
the first two days the amount stat.
ed was 10000 Hong Kong dollars
$4,000 U.S.). On the third day il
was reduced to $4,000 Hong Kong
dollars.
SIT would be disastrous to pay ex.
tortion money" Bishop Lane said
here. Every Catholic missionary
within reach of the Reds would
thus be placed in added jeopardy
The Red scheme to use Bishop
Paschang as a hostage to wiring

conferees is seen here as part oi
the vast Red program to extort dol
lars from Americans through pres
sure on friends and relatives in
China. Thousands of letters have
repeatedly been received in recent
months by Chinese Americans
from relatives in China, pleading
for money to save them from tor
ture and Imprisonment.
Bishop Paschang is native oi
Martinsburg, Mo. He first left fol
China in 1921, and was made Bish

Best Christmas
Present for Dad
Is Daily Rosary

JACKSONVILLE, N. c. NC)-
A Marine serving in Korea has
written his two little children here
that "the best Christmas present
daddy can ask for" is to have
them say the Rosary every day.
Chief Warrant officer Stanley
A. Nowak, with the 7th Marine
Regiment, urged his children,
Elaine and Stan, to offer the Ros-
ary mot just once but every day."
"When you say the Rosary you
might as we'll include the rest of
the boys in Korea" he wrote. IF
all of you say the Rosary, that is
the best Christmas present daddy
can ask for. When Christmas
comes around, hang nice Rosary
on the tree as a reminder of dad
dy's presence in Korea"
The Marine warrant officer re-
minded his children that his ''beau-
tiful guardian angel" watched over
him while he was serving in Korea
against Gods enemies.

without informing the Benedictine
Fathers, it was learned here. The
monks became aware of the ac-
tion when tenants at the Tabgha
farm informed them that the Gus
todian of German Property had or
dered tenants to pay rents to him
instead of the Benedictines.
Twenty-one Benedictine monks
are now in Israel. Fifteen are in
Jewish Jerusalem and the rest at
Tabgha. The monks belong to sew
en- different nationalities.
The shrine of the Dormition was
built at the turn of the century
through gifts from German Cath
olics. 1t stands on what is regarded
by many as the spot where the
Blessed Virgin died or "fell asleep
and from which she was taken into
Heaven. It's administration was en-
trusted to the Benedictines in 1906.
During the Palestine war in 1948
the Dormition church and abbey
were occupied by Jewish fighting
forces. While under military oc-
cupation both church and abbey
suffered much damage from the
fighting and looting. The Benedic-
tines returned to the Dormition abb
bey in 1850. Regular monastic life
was resumed in February of this
year.
