Berun Cut Off From Rome

VATICAN CITY.-The con-
f1nement of Archbishop Josef
Beran of Prague is viewed in
Vatican circles as part of the
Communist regimes drive to
suppress the Catholic church
in Czechoslovakla.
Vatican sources profess to
have had no definite, recent
word about the archbishop
and declare that it is not
known here whether he still
is in his hilltop palace in
Prague.
Since the archbishop with
drew to his palace more than
a year and a half ago, re-
lations between the Vatican
and the Czechoslovak regime
have deteriorated sharply.
Msgr. Otavio de Liva, secre-
tary of the Papal Nunciature
at Prague, was expelled last
March in what was described
by the Vatican's L'Osserva-
tore Romano as part of the
Communicated battle to
reduce the Catholic church
to a mere organ of the state"

Vatican. closed his country's
ministry here without notify
ing the Vatican and returned
home. He was the last diplo-
mat from an iron curtain
country.
A few days later the Vati-
can radio charged that Mos
cow was directing the fight
to destroy the Catholic
church in Czechoslovakia.
Civilta Cattolica, official Or
gan of the Society of Jesus
(Jesuits), which usually re-
fleets Vatican opinion. said
that the Cominform planned
the establishment of IAN
Oriental Catholic church
whose center was to be
Prague.
Meanwhile, Archbishop
Beran was closely restricted
to his home, and accusations
against him were intensified.
Obrana Lidu, Czech Army
organ. charged that he had
been plotting against the
state.
Since then there have been
frequent reports here of what
has been described as the
pending outright arrest and
trial of the archbishop.

William Paterson,

The Supreme Court Of the
United States first convened In
Washington $50 years ago this
week. It's initial local habitation
was humble, but 1t lost IT, tine
in making a name.
Centuries of law and learning
stood behind it. A desolate-l look
irg Copital City sprawled around
it. A century and a half lay be-
fore it to our own day. This
sesQuic 1tennial marks the tri-
buna's rise-not without delays,
reversals and attempted reforms
to a place more imposing and to
a power mightier than was imag-
ined in the extraordinary vision
of some Of its early justices.
The Importance of the Scene
Court is usually recognized. how
ever hazily, by the citizen. It's in
fiuence in interprc c.ine,t.::c C----..--,ui-
tuition. passing on legislation and
deciding litigation has been
sketched for every American
school child.
No so we'll appreciated by lay
men and or some lawyers and leg
islators is the hand it has taken
in shaping the form and course
of the Government under the
Constitution.
It has turned the course Of our
national history land trends in
some of the States) on numerous
occasions. It's PHILOSOPHERS and
findings have affected not only
national policy but daily ways of
living.
The executive and legislative
branches ordinarily receive credit
OR blame - for developments
along that line But results of
opinions and orders of the judicial
branch often have been still more
pronounced on the lives and for
tunes of the people and the peo-
pies representatives.
All of that, however, is a far cry
from Monday, February 2, 1901,

the archbishop refuses to be In.
terviewed for fear "the delicate
balance between church and stats
may be disturbed"
But he will answer questions
about Beran's routine, and this
is what he says:
The archbishop, who vas 81
December 20, is in good health and
has been all along. He is settled
down in the front of the palace
in apartments hung with costly
Gobelin tapestries.
He is writing book. It is partly
about old Bohemian churches but
mostly about the Blessed Agnes
a 18th century Prague princess
who became nun, founded hos
pitfalls and converts and intro
duced the Minorite and Francis
can monastic orders to this city
He has seen no high government
officials. But he confers with
Polivka and now and then has
friends among the clergy in to
visit.
He listens to an 11-tube radio
gets Prague newspapers daily and
sends out for any magazines he
wants.

Bushrod Washington.

Many Of those names and some
OF the general issues are reason
ably familiar. Except in a few in
stances the individual parties in
volved in most celebrated cases
were Of comparatively obscure
origin. 1t is almost an axiom in
Supreme Court history that even
the apparently least important
case accepted for review may con-
tain the seeds of major decision.
While wondering whatever
happened to Sandford, Schenck
or Schecter, for instance, it is ma
terial and relevant to observe that
most of the 86 men who have
served on the Supreme Court
aren't known even by name to
many people today.
Joseph Story, Roger B. Taney
Salmon p Chase and few others
prior to the current century still
obtain a nod of recognition if not
unanimous agreement.
Record Impressive
A vast amount of little-known
facts about more or less known
justices is kept by Thomas E.
Waggaman, marshal Of the court.
On his office walls are pictures of
every justice and some others who
were appointed but did not serve.
He has a pictorial record of the
courts many meeting places, all
except the first, for which no
reliable descriptive accounts are
available.
Those unique and valuable COL
lections are excelled only by his
invaluable collection of hand-writ-
ten letters by justices. The COL
lection is complete back to the
Civil War and has only a few
breaks farther back. Mr.. Wagga-
man hopes to fill them.
However impressive the solem-
nifty of the Supreme Court in ses-
sion, its continuity is the quality
that really commands attention.
just as it has held the court to-
gether all these years under SC
many complicated, confusing and
often inconvenient conditions.
From the graceful script in the
minutes of those first February
days in 1901 to the efficiently

record speaks for itself.

great and fundamental part of
the history Of the United States.

Palace Is Se|f-Prison for Archbishop

PRAGUE. - Archbishop Joseph
Beran is the Vatican-appointed
leader of the church hierarchy
in Czechoslovakia and some
million Catholics in this country
Of about 13 million people.
He has been front-page news
around the world in his struggle
with the Communicated govern
ment, but it is more than year
and half now since he was last
seen outside his graceful hilltop
palace.
A native of the beer town of
Plzen (Pilsen) and survivor of
German concentration camps,
Beran became Archbishop of
Prague December 8, 1916.
The small, smiling man with
a puckish face used to be famil-
lar figure in this old city of Gothic
towers and baroque churches.
He said mass on holy days in
towering st. Vitus' Cathedral and
on occasional Sundays in a little
neighboring church. Sometimes
he went to diplomatic and gov
ernmental social functions.
Then the Communists came to
power. The archbishop fell out
with them over church-state rela-
tions. He held. among other
things, they were trying to cut
the church off from Rome They
said they aimed only to keep the
hierarchy from blocking social
progress.
Grants No Interviews
On Corpus Christi Day, June 10,
1949, the archbishop was heckled
out of the cathedral pulpit. He
went into his palace and never
came out.
The following November l a
law took effect under which the
government pays all priests, whose
salaries were raised, and supervises
church property, administration,
communications and appoint
ments.
The archbishop was heard from
now and then for a while through
letters to priests or communicates
signed by himself and his bishops
in defiance of this law. Last
February these stopped.
A series of treason and espio-
mage trials of clergymen followed.
In one of these, the state and
the defendants-Who got prison
terms ranging from 10 years to
life-accused Beran of promoting
Vatican plot against the regime.
Some people have speculated
since that he might be taken
from the palace and tried him
self. But goyernment sources say
that he is still there and that he

effort to date Is "puny" and that
World War III is going on right
now" The burden Of the opposi-
ton criticism will certainly be
that the government has not done
enough quickly enough. From
neither side Of the House will the
government hear complaints that
it has gone too far.
1t remains to be seen what
either side will have to say about
the crucial questions of manpower
policy and economic controls.
Until now the Government has
stuck to the statement that the
voluntary system can produce all
the recruits the plans call for, and
"the plans" are understood to
include NATO plans.
Compulsory Service Urged
The Canadian Legion and q
separate organization Of former
officers have both now declared
that this is not enough. and that
the country needs compulsory
service at least for training In
the reserves. Compulsory service
is still anathema to most of the
French-speaking Canadians of the
Province of Quebec, in spite of
their growing awareness of the
menace of communism to all their
dearest principles. The govern
ment has shown no sign Of risking
a serious split on racial lines by
proposing conscription until the
public, and particularly the
French-speaking public, is much
more ready for it. Nor. 20 far,
have any Of the opposition parties
risked alternating all Quebec sup
port by coming out for conscrip-
ton. The chances are that they
will steer clear of it; but it may
be something Of a temptation to
conservative members who SYM
pathize fully with the attitude of
the Canadian Legion.
The other big question mark of
the new session is how far the
government will go to prepare for
economic controls. All that is in
the wind SO far is an increasingly
strict control over basic raw ma
terials which are in short supply.
The chief of these is steel, its use
for certain purposes being already
forbidden. Stricter prohibitions on
civilian use are just over the hori-
zon. and there is little doubt that
complete ALLEGATION will have to
be enforced by the summer. Nom
ferrous metals are the next most
serious shortage. Arrangements
are already in force on a volun-
tary cooperative basis to direct
these supplies into defense uses;
but here again, expert demand
being what it is. it is probable that
the government will soon have to
take full control over both do
mestic uses and exports.
4lie QucSGlOll lS Wl6lIeT con-
trolls can stop there. Certainly the
governments inclination would
seem to be to extend its control
only gradually over the basic stra-
tegic necessities, and to leave the
rest of the economy to function
with as much freedom as possible.
But increasing demands are being
made for controls at the consumer
level. The trade unions, for one
thing, are conducting a concerted
campaign in favor of consumer
price controls. Their campaign is
vitiated in many eyes by the fact
that they want price controls
without wage controls. Business
in general insists that the two
must go together, and the govern
ment has so far held the same
view But ministers will have
difficult path to tread through
the various demands for controls
which members of Parliament are
likely to echo.

the other blade, as shown in the dia-

hub that fits the shaft to be driven.
For a smaller pulley, simply cut a
smaller circle in the first blade"
Note by L w. D.-Sure a very
smart idea Would probably be
easier to get a good fit on the shaft
by welding the large pulley to the
side of smaller V-pulley, and thus
make a double V-pulley.

Those ideals Of goodness shine more
brilliantly in Jesus life than in any
person who has lived on earth In
fact, it was the perfect goodness of
Jesus that made men first believe
Him to be Divine.
The practical result of perfect
pattern is that when men see the
beauty of the perfect they are
ashamed of their imperfection. A
few tears in my mothers eyes after
I had done some unworthy deed
helped God to work in my boyish
heart the miracle of a changed mind.
We can never measure our minds by
anything imperfect. Christ is the
norm of all practical goodness.

Practical Results
OF Christianity
b. DR.. JOHN Holland

MOST OF US remember the Ara
bian Nights stories. Aladdin's lamp
was fascinating for our childhood
days, but the electric lamp is bet
ter for driving away the darkness of
night.
In a similar way, we are trying to
get away from the realm of magic to
the realm of practical fact in our re-
igion. We are trying to find out
what part of our religion will work
best in the practical tests of every
day living. Love, sympathy, help
fulness and kindness are the fruits
of the Unseen Spirit of God.
There will always be mystery. We
see but little way into the realm
we call supernatural. and often we
quarrel about what we do see.
I often think that Christianity has
stressed too much the human doc
trines by which we seek to under
stand the Infinite and dwelt too little
upon what we can understand of the
practical workings of Christ's re-
ligion
Gospel Does 3 Things
After giving over half of my life
to its study, the Gospel of Jesus
seems clearly to me to do three
things which every man in the world
needs done within his heart.
He needs help in being good. Love
alone will change the direction Of
our thoughts, until we are ashamed
to live below our ideals of goodness.

Doing Good


Each person needs the impulse for
doing good find that most of us
do what our natures i1npel us to do.
I have found that the great pleasure
to doing good deed is in being the
sort of person who would want to
do it. Doing good has a refining
power within US. Our Master said:
HE that doeth my will shall know
of the doctrine" There isn't any
other way of knowing any truth per-
sonally.
Then. each person needs to know
how to make good Everywhere that
Christianity has gone men and worn
en- have improved. The forces that
destroy human character and useful
ness are checked. New ways of hui
man success have arisen in peoples
hearts. A man may be in rags when
he is converted, but he will not wear
rags very long afterwards. ''The Wall
Street Journal points out that the
primary basis of credit is character. =
Christ's religion, accepted in the
mind and heart, will help any per-
son to become his best possible self.
