Cardinal Mindssenty's Greatness Recalled
On Third Anniversary Of Communist Trial.

WASHINGTON-(NC) - Those
who are free and can speak openly
should proclaim aloud the great
ness of His Eminence Josef Cardin-
al Mindszenty, imprisoned Primate
of Hungary.
Thus declares Peter Hovarth,
Secretary of the Hungarian Ma
tional Council, in a statement is
sued here Feb. 4 to mark the third
anniversary of the farcical trial of
Cardinal Mindszenty at the hands
of the Reds in his native country.
"Three years ago." Mr.. Horvath
said, "many people in the Western
World believed the words of COM
munism, and many even believed
the accusations hurled against Car
dinal Mindszenty. This great man
deserves that on the anniversary of
his Imprisonment we remember
him with our sympathy and appre-
citation"
"The oppressed Hungarian peo-
pie are unable to proclaim openly
the greatness of Cardinal Minds
zenty," Mr.. Hovarth reminded.

Communicated
American Bishop
Bound In Chains

MARYKNOLL, NY. = MC) -
Refugees from Canton say that
Bishop Francis X. Ford, Brooklyn
born Maryknoll Missioner imprison-
ed last year, has been placed in
chains" the Rev. Maurice Ahern,
Maryknoll Missioner stationed in
Hong Kong, reported to Maryknoll
headquarters here.
"They feel that as soon as the
excitement over the recent public
trial of five Canadian Sisters dies
down, he will be brought to trial to
keep the young people and stu
dents aroused against all foreign
ers," Father Ahern reported.
Bishop Ford, after 80 years in
the missions of China, was placed
under house arrest in December,
1850. Four months later he was
taken to a Jail in Canton. Since
then he has been held incommuni-
cado by the communists.

Cardinal Mindszenty's life has

was thrown into Jail on February

Official Yugoslap Accounts
Of Attack On Bishop Denied
Osservatore Romano Says Tito Press Minmized And
Justified Assault On Church Official

the Yugoslav press not only mini
mized but actually justified it. The
Bishop himself and the Church are
pictured as guilty because their at
titude is aIIegedIy contrary to the
state and thus incites the popular
masses" to indignation.
The incident at Novo Mesto is
is not an isolated case, the writer
continued. Similar episodes are all
too frequent. The attackers are not
always unknown relatives of parti-
sans.
Mr.. Alessandrini cited the fol-
lowing incidents: Last May. Bishop
Maximilian Drzcenik, Apostolic Ad-
ministrator of Maribor, was harass-
ed by police because the faithful re-
ceived him enthusiastically during
a pastoral visit in the district of
Ptuj. Last spring Bishop Vovk met
hostile demonstrations during a
pastoral visit.
The president of the Slovene gov
ernment, Mr.. Marinko, in a recent
speech insisted on the necessity of
halting the activity of 'the reac-
tionary clergy" and fighting "cler-
ical reaction" The Red paper,
Ljudska Pravica, stated on Decem-
ber Is that the teaching of cate
chism is gravely culpable not only
outside the church but also Ill the
church because 'the spreading of
superstition is a crime punishable
by law"
'The present attack is nothing
but the effect of the anti-Church
campaign conducted along the lines
prescribed by communist theology,
a campaign which is most violent
where the Catholic faith is the
deepest" Mr.. Alessandrini de-
clared.
"The conscience of Catholics and,
we feel, of all free men does not
remain lndlfferent IN the lace OF
these facts, which reveal a manner
of thinking opposed to the rights of
human conscience"
Count dalla Tore stated that
while the world waited for news of
the YugoSlav governments inter-
vention in this crime against Bishop
Vovk, it hears only that the real
guilt lies with the person attacked.
Both the governments responsible
ity to assure the safety of its citi-
zens and the violence of the "un-
known" assailants in this affair are
undeniable. They cannot be wiped
out by alleged extenuating circum-
stances, he added.

Blessed Mother
Wins Victory In
Mexican Senate

MEXICO CTTY-NC)-The his
toric name of Guadalupe City,
which for nine years had been
known as ''Villa Gustavo A. Ma
dero," has been restored to villa
Guadalupe Hidalgo" by action of
the Senate.
In February, 1850, the House Of
Representatives passed bill to re-
store the original name of the city
near the site of the Tepeyac Sane
tuary, where Our Lady appeared
four times in 1881 to Juan Diego
and identified herself as MARY of
Guadalupe" The Senate vote COM
pletes favorable action on the meas
ure.
The Mexican Congress on Janu-
ary 8, 1943, seeking to honor pa
triot of the turn of the century, re-
named Guadalupe City villa Gus
tavo A. Madero." That action
brought immediate protests and at
tacks by the press. The recent act
ion restoring the historic name was
acclaimed by the press and peo-
pie.

ILL
RequirePub
Private Care
Rev. VIM. E. Kappes Says
Both Government And
Private Aid Needed

Private charity and the govern
ment should cooperate to meet the
serious problem of persons suffer
ing from long-term illnesses, ac-
cording to the Rev. William e.
Kappes, Diocesan Director Of Char
tiles and Hospitals.
Writing in the current issue of
Hospital Progress, official journal
of the Catholic Hospital Associa-
ton, Father Kappes stresses the
need for private enterprise and
voluntary association" to do "as
much for these people as they
can"
Warning that voluntary and re-
ligious agencies dare not abandon
the care of the chronically ILL.," he
goes on to suggest that "as a mat
ter of practical solution there
should be an extension of the CO
operative arrangements which ex-
ist SO happily in some localities,
where public and private resources
are combined to meet the needs
of the sick"
Sometimes voluntary agencies,
or hospitals, give the actual care
for the patient" he explained,
while public funds provide part Of
his support. Sometimes voluntary
agencies or institutions send mem
bers of their medical and profes-
sional staffs to public agencies or
hospitals to help care for the sick. .
Father Kappes said there is no
basic reason why voluntary agen-
cies SHOULD not devote part of their
efforts to fund-raising for the care
of the chronically i'll. This already
is being done in many Community
Chest drives, he added
He also suggested that asome
thought might well be given" to
voluntary insurance programs that
would provide supporting care for
a longer time than ordinary poll
cies cover.

VATICAN CITY -(NC)-OSSer-
Udtore Romano, Vatican City daily,
directed double-barrel attack at
the official Yugoslav news version
of the assault on Bishop Anton
Vovk, Apostolic Administrator of
Ljubljana.
The paper carried a special ar
ticle by Federico Alessandrini and
an editorial signed by Count Giu-
seppe Dalla Tore, the editor.
According to the scanty details
reaching here so far the Bishop
was attacked as he alighted at the
Novo Mestro train station. Bishop
Vovk was in company of two
priests. He was beaten by "un-
known" assailants who then poured
gasoline on his robes and set them
on fire, the reports say.
Bishop Vovk suffered serious
burns, but was refused admission
at the local hospital for about five
hours. Later he succeeded in re-
turning to Ljubljana where he is
now being hospitalized.
The official account OF the attack
in the Tito press and radio stated
that the Bishop was Slightly
wounded" by unknown" assailants,
whom it nevertheless identified as
relatives of partisans" executed
during th0 war. 1t added that the
unknown" assailants we're melted
to their action in connection with
the recent condemnation of a priest
for collaboration" and "antistate
activities"
While forced to deplore the at
tack, Mr.. Alessandrini declared,

The total number of DPS receiv-
ed in the Diocese, he added, may
rise to 375, as the Catholic Chari-
ties office still has untitled assur-
ances providing resettlement OPP
portunities for Al persons. These
should be coming in soon," Father

whom already have come to the Di-
oceSe.
Msgr Edward E. Swanstrom, Ex-
ecutive Director Of War Relief
Services-National Catholic Welfare

Of German-descent expellees who
we're forced from their homes in

tries now under Communist con-
troll.

He pointed out that more than
350,000 DPS were resettled in the
U. S. under the recently dissolved
international Refugee Organiza-
tons program, which was carried
out with the assistance of volun-
tary agencies, including WRS-
NCWC.

mental briefs on the point whether
the highest tribunal had jurisdic-
ton to hear the case.
The gist of the argument for
counsel opposed to the Bible read
ing practice centered around the
contention that it violated religious
freedom and constituted favor to-
ward religion.
NeiC Religion
Arguing for New Jersey and the
Hawthorne Borough Board of Ed
ucation, New Jersey Attorney Gen.
eral Theodore d. Parsons contend
ed that opponents of the statutes
we're trying to set up new type of
''religion"-one which would de-
prive others of exercising their re
ligious convictions
He pointed out that neither stat
ute compelled students to partici-
pate either in the practice of lis
tening to reading of the Bible vers-
es or of reciting the Lords Prayer.
He told the court: There is no
harm done by this law. There is
good done"
The attack against the New York
State released-time program was
originated by Mrs. Tessim Zorach
and Mrs. Esta Gluck, whose chill
dren attend Brooklyn public
schools. The New York plan was
established by law in 1910, but had
been in practice before that time.
1t is a model for similar released
time programs now in effect in 9TH
er states.
Counsel for opponents of the
plan relied on the proposition that
the state is using its compulsory
education law to aid religion. It
was contended that there is no real
distinction between the New York
case and the McCollum case of
1948, in which the Supreme Court
invalidated the Champaign, ILL.,, re-
leased-time program.
Cases Differ
In the Champaign case, the re-
ligious instructions classes were
held on public school property. The
Supreme Court held this procedure
was in violation of the Constitu-
tion. In the New York case, the
religious instruction classes are
held off public school property and
public school officials take no part
in the program.
During the arguments, counsel
for opponents of the plan declared
that the only way that religious
instructions could properly be Civ
en- to public school children was
through a dismissed time" pro-
gram-not a released-time plan.
AT this juncture, Justice Felix
Frankfurter indicated that the ma
tion's public schools ought to be
