Miss Higgins won international

1t is interesting to note that in

London and Paris Bureaus, moved
on to Austria with the 7th Army
during the closing days of World
War II and soon afterward was
made head of the Berlin bureau.
When the Korean war broke

Tokyo bureau to the battlefront,
where for % weeks she reported
all aspects of the fighting.
Other new names show up

Geneva Convention
FIouted Deliberately
By Reds, U. N. Says
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
TOKYO, Dec. 14.-An Allied
broadcast to Korea tonight said
the Communists Inadvertently
revealed that they never had any
intention of treating prisoners of
war in accordance with terms OF
the Geneva Convention"
An information bulletin quoting
Excerpts from the Voice of the
United Nations Command" broad
cast said this may have been the
Reds biggest blunder in the arm
Iistice negotiations"
The bulletin was labeled mot
an official release" 1t was dis
Itributed to correspondents in
Tokyo by the public information
officer at general headquarters.
Cite Early Promise.
The bulletin said:
"A wave of popular resentment
at the complete lack of Com
munist decency in the matter of
war captives has swept the free
world. The Red admission that
they would not abide by the terms
of the convention came as direct
reversal of the promise made to
the United Nations command
early in the war by the North
Korean Foreign Minister PAX
Hung Ung. At that time he told
the world that North Korea
would strictly observe the prin-
ciples of the Geneva Convention
concerning prisoners of war.
In response to that promise, the
U. N. command has endeavored to
make the Reds live up to their
word. But on December 13, the
Communists bluntly warned the
subcommittee on agenda item
not to interpret in your favor the
message of the North Korean
official. In other words, they
openly admitted that what they
had said before. they do not mean
now. And all evidence points, of
course, to the fact that they never
meant it.
Bar on Red Cross.
Does the sudden admission that
the Communists are not abiding
by the terms of the convention
have anything to do with their
constant refusal to let representa-
tives of the International Red
Cross visit their camps? Is the
Red announcement intended as a
preliminary cover-up for condi-
tionS the International Red Cross
may find if the prisoners ever are
released? Is there any more sin
ister reason behind this secrecy? ?
"If the Communists had any
hopes of gaining world sympathy
for their motives this latest an
nouncement always noted that the
Reds fight a no-holds-b barred war.
But world resentment rises sharply
when the Communists announce
that they are using the same tao
tics with defenseleSs prisoners"

Welcome TO the Times

The following editorial appeared ~ the CATH

The latest Catholic newspaper to take its edi-
torial bow in the u S. is the Catholic Times of
Columbus It's first issue brimmng with Catholic
news and features with prime interest for Cath.
olicss Is guarantee that 1t will be influential
visitor in the homes Of the diocese where it is
published We bid the Catholic Times a warm
welcome to the circle of Catholic newspapers In
the country but particularly in our state of Ohio.
There are six dioceses in the state and each is
served with its own diocesan newspaper. The
bishops are conscious of the fact that the Catholic
press is one of their greatest auxares and strong
est allies in carrying the work of their episco-
pate.
The Catholic Times is a new venture but not
new idea in the Diocese of Columbus Pope
Plus TX founded this see in 1863. Bishop Rose
Grams Immediately set up parish bulletin In the
cathedral which grew into the highly respected
and solidly established Catholic Columbian by
1878 There arc very many who remember the
benevolent influence of the Columbian since II
did not cede place to the Columbus Register until

Saint John q. Public"

The feast of All Saints, a Holy Day of obliEa-
ton, would make good S64 question for quiz.
Just who is included in "All Saints?" If we took all
the names from the little squares the fish
calendar" in kitchens would they add up to "Al
saints?" Not by long way, they wouldn't.
Saint is anybody who has gone to heaven.
Anybody from the year to 1851 Some of the
people who have died during this time. have been
raised to special place of honor in the Church
They have been declared Saints that is, the Holy
Father has solemnly told us that such and such
person is in heaven and that may offer public
prayers to them But just because we know that
certain persons in heaven for doesn't mean
that they are the only ones there.
II we could see all the names of those who have
won the good fight and received the crown" we
should behold quite a roster. There would be the
names of many we have known personally. There
would be names of the countless who have lived and
died, forgotten by the world but remembered by
their heavenly Father as faithful servants.
1t is good to remember that all the saints in
heayen-and only saints in heaven--did not
become saints after they died They were saints be-
fore their death
We all want to go to heaven. 1t is the only reason
for existence. Those of us who have always
regarded saints people set apart and the whole
a little odd had better change our views.
Leon BIoy never wrote truer words than these:
THE greatest tragedy is that we all do not want to
become saints"
