the us. before the International
Court of Justice on questions put
to the court by the fourth General
Assembly in connection with non-

The court, in an advisory opin-

Accompanying the evidence were

the evidence prepared by the De-

For Heroic Action

A Korean campaigner who was
graduated from sary high
school, Columbus, in 1916, has
been recommended for the Con-
gressional Medal of Honor for ex-
traordinary heroism or Heartbreak
Ridge.
He is Pfc. Theodore R. Hinter-

College
Gets Cancer
Study Grant
Damon Runyon Fund Gives
$l,5OO for Researc h
Program Here

National recognition came this
week to the cancer research pro-
gram at the College of st. Mary of
the Springs in the form of 81 500
grant from the Damon Runyon Me-
mortal Fund. The college was one
of two Catholic institutions among
the ten recipients of over $780,
900 distributed by the fund in its
latest ALLEGATION. The other was
st. Margaret'S hospital, Kansas
City, Kans.
The award spotlights the work
of two Dominican Sisters who have
been working together for seven
years in their search for cure of
cancer. They are Sister Margaret
Ann, chairman of the Biology de-
partment at the college, and Sister
Thomas Aquin, a member of the
department.
Much of their work is carried on
in constant-temperature labor
atory donated to the college by the
late Mrs. Anna Burst of Whining
ton, Ohio.
In an attempt to fight fire with
fire, the Sisters have been cult
waiting disease-producing germs
and testing various extracts of the
germs. One bacterial extract from
the organism that causes boils and
ulcers, they found, inhibits the
growth of some cancerous cells.
Sister Margaret Ann warns, how
ever, against too-hopeful reports
of their work. "All you can say at
the present time," she declared,
''is that we have some promising
results with one particular kind of
cancer in mice"
A native of Coshocton, Ohio, Sis
ter Margaret Ann attended Sacred
Heart high school there and the

Sister Thomas Aquin is native OF
New Haven, Conn, and a graduate
of Albertus Magnus college. Botn
Sisters have received graduate de-
grees from Ohio State university
and from the Institutum Divi
Thomae, graduate schoo of scien'
tific research conducted under the
auspices of the Archdiocese of Gin
cinnati.
Founded in 1896 when Damon
Runyon, famed sports and fiction
writer, died, the fund has allocated
more than $4,500,000 for cancer re
search. chiefly in the form of fel
lcwships and grants.

PARIS - NC) - The United
States last week laid before the
world a charge of religious perse-
cution by the Rumanian govern
mefit.
Ambassador Warren r. Austin,
United States representative at the
sixth meeting of the United Ma
tions General Assembly, transmit
ted to it the first instalIment of
evidence in the possession of the
us. proving the willful and syste-
matte violation by the Rumanian
Government of its obligations un-
der the treaties of peace" These
violations include the freedom of
religion, expression, press and pub
lication in Rumania.
Ambassador Austin requested
the Secretary General to transmit
copies of the evidence to all mem
ber governments of the United Ma
tionS.
The evidence was transmitted
pursuant to a resolution adopted
by the General Assembly on No
vember 8, 1850, which condemned
the governments of Rumania, Bull
garia and Hungary for refusing to
join in establishing commissions as
provided by the treaties of peace to
hear disputes arising under the
treaties. The United States, the
United Kingdom and other powers
had charged the three governments
with willful and systematic viola
ton of the provisions of the
treaties, which required these Gov
ernmentS to secure to all persons
under their jurisdiction the enjoy
ment of human rights and the fun
damental freedoms.
Throughout the discussion of this
question during the fifth session of
the General Assembly last year. the
chief spokesman for the United
States was Benjamin Cohen. He
declared that the us. was prepar-
ed to offer detailed evidence in
support of its charges and to sub
NIT to decision arrived at through
legal processes.

those indominitable souls, millions
and millions of them, who, in the
midst of this persecution, openly
profess their loyalty to God, to
Christ, to the Church and to the
common ideals of civilized human
ity.
"Our hearts are filled with sor-
row at the indifference of the So
called Christian Governments TO
this frightful persecution, and at
the apparent futility Of the human
means they have thus far employ
ed to stop it.
"We are no less appalled, by the
apparent inability of the free Sec
ular press to inform the public Of
the true facts of the persecution.
I'm this new agony of the
Church of God, of her modern
martyrs and confessors, we are
left to tread the wine press alone.
No, not alone. Dur help is in
the name of the Lord who hath
made the heavens and the earth.
Inspired by the heroic virtue of
these suffering millions nd
moved by the love of Christ and
of our fellowmen, we turn to the
God of all Mercy; we lift our
eyes to the eternal hills from
which cometh our help.
In union with the clergy and
faithful of the United States, we
implore our Common Father to
give light and strength and solace
to His prosecuted children, to open
the eyes of the apathetic nations,
and to convert the prosecutors
themselves that His Kingdom of
justice and of love and of peace
may come to all the people.
LET us call the roll of the ma
tions in which persecution of the
Church now RACES:
Russia, the Ukraine, Yugoslav-
ia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria,
Albania, eastern Austria, Czecho-
/ slovakia, Poland, Latvia, Estonia,
Lithuania, eastern Ge many, Mon
gelia and China and northern
Korea.
"And let us stand in a tribute OF
reverent admiration and prayer for
those churchmen whose names are
deathless symbols of all who suffer
persecution for the sake of Christ.

Bishops Proclaim Admiration
For Modern Christian Martyrs
Resolution Hits Indifference of Worlds Governments
Failure of Secular News Agencis

Here is the full text of resolu-
ton signed by the Bishops of the
United States expressing bound
less admiration for Catholic heroes
in Iron Curtain countries and
mourning for "our martyred
dead"
The statement also expressed
sorrow at the indifference of so
called Christian governments to
this frightful persecution and at
the apparent inability of the free
secular press to inform the public
of the true facts in the matter.
THE Bishops of the United
States of America proclaim before
the world their boundless idmira-
tion for those heroes of our COM
mon Faith, the Bishops, priests, Re-
lgious and faithful behind the
Iron Curtain of europe and Asia,
who are giving their lives and their
blood for Christ and for the ideals
of human freedom.
in the long history of persecu-
ton waged by the absolutists
against the followers of Christ, no
chapter is more glorious than the
one they are now writing.
"We mourn our martyred dead
in Russia and in the IA nations
which are now captives to Com
muniSm. We send our fraternal
sympathy and the assurance of our
fervent prayers to the countless
thousands who are now delivered
to the torturers in the dungeons
of Europe and of Asia.
"And we testify, at the bar of
world opinion, to the sufferings of
