Discussing the problem of dis
elimination, Father Cronin sug-
gested that First, we should con-
slider the most important evils,
such as job discrimination, made
quate housing and medical care,
and inferior educational opportuni-
ties. Secondly, we should develop
short-range and long-range objec-
tives, depending upon the atti.
tudes and prejudices in our com
munities."
"0ver the long range" he went
on, Eve would educate people to a
complete acceptance of the Chris
tian view of their fellow-men. This
is particularly a task for the
schools and the churches. But in
the immediate future we would
seek both by education and by law
to give to minority groups equal
opportunities in the fields of en-
ployment, housing, medical care,
and schooling. We should vigilant-
ly protect their civil rights"
Father Cronin also recommend
ed vigorous action" but only on
limited fronts" and with con
stantly enlarging objectives.
'9We should try to emphasize vol
untary action rather than coer-
cion," he said. But where rights
are involved, we should not hesl-
tate to enforce them by law, when
goodwill efforts fail"
Proposes Industry Councils
In industrial relations, also, Faith
er Cronin declared, "men accom-
plish more working together than
fighting one another" That is why
we favor labor-management coop
Grafton at the factory level" he
added.
But we would go beyond this, F"
he continued 1--WE would like to
see organized collaboration be-
tween labor and business on the
broader problems of our economy.
We favor councils of both groups
in each industry, and on higher
levels, to solve problems by self
help and common effort, instead of
appealing to government to meet
all our difficulties"

izations throughout the diocese" "
Citing st. Joan of Arc as a model
for women, he pointed out that
she put first things first" and
suggested that her motto should
be the motto of every Catholic
woman: Let God be first served"
In the consciousness that we are
serving God, he said, lies the JOY
of living. Translate this into your
daily lives" he added, land there
will be no drudgery."
He admitted that the average
woman is not called to the dra-
matte task of defending a king
or saving nation, as Joan was,
but rather to the all-important one
of showing in the midst of family
life an unquenchable love for God.
He asked the women to rededi-
cate themselves to "the work you
are doing" and to identify the
activity of your parish with the
work of the Church"
Pointing to the seculariStic in
fluenceS in the world, he encour-
aged the women to "let God be
first served in your community"
This means supporting the work
of Christian education, he explain
ed, and "vocal condemnation of
malicious, vile and sinful influ-
enceS."
He urged them not to be dis
turbed by the "slanderous attack"
on parochial schools but rather to
feel sorry for men who fear citi-
zenS trained in the law of God.
The Bishop emphasized the inn
portance of organization. "A single
voice is an unheard voice" he de-
clared, "but the voice of thousands
will be heard"

church" " and expressed confidence
that the Holy Fathers request
would receive whole-hearted and
generous response from the good
people of this Diocese"
He also commended the "extra-
ordinary growth of a truly Cath
olic mission spirit in our schools"
pointing out that "the Sisters in
our schools, the Reverend Pastors.
and our beloved youth are insur-
ing the prosperity Of missionary
spirit in the Church Of Columbus"

DETROIT-(NC)-U.S. Supreme
Court Justice Fred M. Vinson was
criticized soundly in a resolution
adopted at the fifth national Holy
Name Society convention here for
his widely quoted statement,
Nothing is more certain in mod
ern society than the principle that
there are no absolutes all
concepts are relative"
The resolution cited the premise
that mo good has ever been pro-
duced by thought which has fol-
loved the easiest and pragmatic,
but only by that philosophy which
recognized an absolute norm of
truth and justice in the combined
keystones of Divine Law and right
reason" The resolution also assert
ed that lit is the duty of those who
worship God and who follow His
l~w in obedient submission to chal-
lenge false teachers and false
teachings, however lofty or ioWly

Deny Bishops
Surrendered
In Hungary
Paris Report Urges Fair
Judgment of Events In
Hungary I'm d er Reds

PARIS - (NC)-An interpreta-
ton of recent events in Hungary
as complete defeat of the Church
is rash and superficial conclu-
sion, according to an informed an
alysis made here by persons compe-
tent to judge the situation.
In taking an oath of loyalty to
the Budapest regime, the Bishops
have, perhaps, given the commun-
ist rulers pretext for exacting
further manifestations in favor of
the regime, these persons stated.
But, they explained, by taking
the oath the Bishops have in no
way pledged themselves to fall
short of their duties or to renounce
any point of Catholic doctrine.
Communist propaganda that the
Bishops have surrendered" to the
government may be given Gre
dence. or at least cause confusion.
in other countries. But it has not
deceived the Hungarian faithful,
these persons emphasized. Rather
it has increased their horror for a
regime which has caused their spir-
itual shepherds such anguish and
sorrow.
These informed sources attach
little credence to the statements
and articles allegedIy issued re-
Gently by members of the Hungari-
an Hierarchy and highly publicized
by the regime. The alleged state
ments all supported the aims of the
regime.
Bishops Isolated
There is good reason to doubt
the authenticity of these state
meEts and articles, the sources
here stated. The Hungarian Bish-
ops are now isolated in their resi-
dences and therefore it is impos-
sible for them to deny any state
ments falsely attributed to them.
The analysts here also threw
more light on the oath-taking cere-
mony which puzzled the free world
for a time.
1t was emphasized that there is
nothing contrary to Catholic doc
trine in taking an oath of loyalty
to an existing authority. In fact,
the Holy See often gives express
permission for oaths of fidelity in
some of its Concordats. 1t has al
ways been Catholic teaching that
respect must be shown for the au-
thority of the state and that its
laws must be obeyed, provided, of
course. that they do not command
anything opposed to the law of
4 God.
Against this background, these
sources pointed out, it is not so
unusual that the Hungarian Bish-
ops should take an oath of loyalty.

MIS- SIOnarIeS
Still a Mystery
No Word From Priests and
Nuns Taken Last Year
BY Korean Communists
BY Rev. Patrick o'connor

SEOUL - (NC) - One year ago
the North Korean communists put
38 foreign civilian prisoners, in
cluding some priests and nuns, on
train at Maram-ni, a village sew
en- miles north of Pyongyang. The
train went north to Manpojin, on
the south side of the Yalu river
that divides Korea from Manchuria.
The prisoners we're unloaded there.
Others, repeatedly, were sent in
the same direction later.
The world is waiting for the
North Korean government to tell
what it has done with them since.
The North Koreans have never
given out any information about
these prisoners. The general out
line of what happened to them in
the first months of their captivity
is known, however.
The communists arrested every
non-Oriental national they fund in
South Korea, irrespective of diplo-
matte status, occupation, national
ity, age, sex or infirmity. The to-
tai was about 70. 1t included 81
Catholic and 10 non-Catholic for
eign missionaries.
Delegate Taken
Among the Catholics were the
Apostolic Delegate to Korea, Bish-
op Patrick J. Byrne, Washington
born Maryknoller; his secretary,
the Rev. William Booth, NJ. M, of
Rockville Centre, n. Y, and two
of the five Ordinaries in South
Korea, Msgr. Thomas Quinlan,
from Tipperary, Ireland, Prefect
Apostolic of Chunchon, and Msgr.
Patrick T. Brennan from Chicago,
Prefect Apostolic Of Kwangju, both
Columbans.
Seven other Columbans were
taken, of whom two were killed
in their own mission districts.
Thirteen French priests of the
Paris Foreign Missions were tax
en-, four in Seoul and nine in Tae-
jon. Among them were 8l-year-old
Father Paul Villemot, who had la
bored for SO years in Korea, and
two brothers, Fathers Antoine and
julien Gombert, aged rs and 73
both of whom had spent so years
in Korea.
Five Carmelite nuns were ar
rested, two Belgians and three
French. Two French Sisters of St.
Paul of Chartres were taken from
their orphanage, the oldest in
Korea. One of these, Mother Be
atrice, was rs years old and had
spent most of her life caring for
Korean children.
