Japan 10 Buy Cotton
With $40 Million Loan
BY the Associoted Press

The United States announced
yesterday it will loan Japan $40
million to help buy United States
raw cotton.
The loan, announced by the Ex-
port-Import Bank, is the first to
Japan since the signing of the
World War II peace treaty.
Herbert E. CASTOR, chairman of
the banks Board of Directors, said
the credit marks the merging
status of the Japanese government
as an Independent factor in in
ternational financial affairs"
Mr.. CASTOR said the cotton trade
is one of the most important fac
tors in United StateS-Japanese
economic relations.
Japan for several years has pro-
vided the largest export market
for United States cotton. Hence,
Japanese trade "is of great sig
nificance to our cotton economy,
the prosperity of which is highly
dependent on exports" Mr.. Cas-
ton said.
The loan will bear interest at
2A per cent and will be repay
able within Is months. Other de-
tails are still being worked out.

Egg Dealer Awaits
Sentence for Shipping
Tainted Produce

A Washington egg dealer, in
the business for SO years, today
was awaiting sentence for ship
ping two 30-pound cans of in
adequately labeled tainted eggs to
a local bakery.
A Municipal Court jury con-
victed Israel C. Korol, "a, of 916
Fourth street S.W., of two counts
of violating Federal pure food and
drug laws
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Alfred Hartman accused Mr..
Korol of sending the eggs to Pit
ties Bakery. 5037 Connecticut
avenue NV. last November 2.
The bakery promptly poured them
down the drain, it was testified.
Federal inspectors, who con-
fiscated 50 other cans of eggs al
legedly shipped by Korol Egg Co
to a refrigeration plant, described
the latter batch as "stinkers. 4"
These wound up at the Zoo as
feed for the animals.
Apparently impressed with De-
fense Counsel Ben Lindas' view
that these particular eggs couldn't
have been unfit if the Zoo used
them, the jury acquitted the de-
fendant on that count.
Judge Almond w. Scott will
impose sentence next week. Max
imum penalty is a $1,000 fine and
one year in jail.

"at the evening tolIing" Still an
other holds that the Franciscan
General Chapter in the time of st.
Bonaventure, 1868 or 1869, directed
preachers to encourage tn people
to say ''Hail Marys" when the
Complin bell rang.
In the monastic rule composed
of st. Ethelwald of Winchester,
England, about 975, certain prayers
called the tres ordtioneS were di-
rected to be said at the ringing of
bells after Complin, before Mathis,
and again at Prime.
AS time went on the practice be-
came more and more associated
with three separate peals of the bell
and, Hail Marys" took the place of
the elaborate tres ordtiones recited
by the monks. The ''Hail Mary"
did not become a familiar prayer
in England until the beginning of
The eleventh century.
1t would seem, then, that the An
gelus was development of the
monks night prayers and had
nothing directly to do with the cur
'ew bell, as some have held. The
curfew bell, which rang as signal
for the extinction of fires and
lights, and the ringing of the An
gelus may have coincided in later
years; but if so, this was accidental.
Shortly after the recital of the
Angelus at sunset became familiar,
the custom started of ringing the
bell in the morning and saying the
Ace thrice. The earliest mention
of this is in the chronicle of the
city of Parma in 1918, anG in this
case the town bell was rung.
1t is quite probable that the
morning bell was also an imitation
of the monastic triple peal for the
morning tres ordtiones, rung at the
morning office of Prime, as well as
at the evening Complin. The morn
ing Angelus soon became as popu-
lar a custom in all Europe and Eng
land as the generally observed eve
ming devotion.
One fact that stands out in the
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1951-12-21

statutes of 14th and 15th-centTy
German Synods is that the midday
Angelus was closely associated
with the veneration of the Passion
of Christ.
At first this midday devotion was
recited only on Fridays, but the
custom gradually extended to other
days of the week. In the English
Horde and the German HorttluS
Animde, early in the 18th century,
lengthy prayers commemorating
the Passion are provided to be said
along with the AUeS.
Some of the devotional books of
the 18th century suggested differ
ent prayers for each ringing: the
Regina Coeli for the morning to
commemorate the Resurrection,
Passion prayers for noon, and the
