cious little evidence that
the general press takes in
to account these sources of in
formation; or that the leakage
from the satellite countries, in
terms of news items, makes
much of an impression on our

appraisals of the general situa-
tion which is increasingly and
without exception bad, but NOR
sells of factual information of
the greatest interest TO everyone
concerned as to the course of
events in the kidnapped nations.
Narrowing Tale
There is a report from a Greek
citizen recently escaped from
Bucharest where he spent some
time in the Galatzi prison. This
individual has recounted, from
the safety of Athens, a harrow
ing tale of the treatment meted
out to the Rumanian political
leader, lulu MANU-, now nearly
80 years of age. This outstand-
ing statesman, in desperately
bad health, suffers nightly the tor
ments and tortures that only the
crazed minds of his communist
jailors could conjure up. Specific
names are mentioned: Petre Col
ciu, director of the prison, and
his communist colIaborators. The
informant in this case stresses
the necessity of using this de-
tailed information in broadcasts,
since in certain specific cases a
widespread knowledge of what
is taking place curbs the savag-
cry of the oppreSsors.
There is information on the
tightening of the control of the
Danube, and the imposition on
the Rumanian railway system of

munist today, is of course
brought forward to poison the
minds of the Negro people, in
addition to the i'll effect on many
others.
The works of Albert Kahn,
rabid champion of the Stalinite
"peace" fronts, are also pushed
intensively and get into the COM
munity Libraries on large scale.
Positive Approach
II is essential that these
books be removed from the Ii
braries, or at least that they be
prominently labeled ''pro-Com-
munist propaganda" That is just
as important, if not more so, as
the labelling of poisonous drugs
or other articles of food under
the Pure Food, Drugs and Cos
metics Act. And il is vital that
the information contained in
such a helpful publication as
Counterattack be. utilized to the
utmost in all branches of "cul-
tural" activity.
There is also positive pork TO
be done By those Who iciSh to
prevent the inroddS of Commuil-
ism into our thinking. Books
which are analytical and critical
of the Red conspiracy are still
largely absent from our library
shelves. And yet, these books
are available. 1t is solemn OBJ
legation of the patriotic Amer
lean to see that they are IN the
libraries and that they are

WASHINGTON = Americans
will be giving more and more
attention to the developing po-
litical situation in England. 1t
is possible that it will have in
fluence upon the national elec-
tions in this country this Fall.
There is a special interest for
American Catholics, as some in
fluential Catholic papers in Eng
land are expressing concern over
the way things threaten to 90.
Crux of the situation is that
dynamic Aneurin Bevan is striv-
ing, with growing success, TO
gain control of the British La
bour Party. He has been describ-
ed as an opponent of Moscow
communists but an admirer of
Marshal Tito, and il is believed
that he would swing the party
farther to the Left. There could
be some decision in this strug-
gle at, or before, the annual con-
ference of the Labour Party on
September %.
Observers in Great Britain
seem to think that, if there we're
to be general election any time
in the near future, the Labour
Party would be returned to pow
er. So. if Mr.. Bevan were to
gain control of the Labour Par
ty, and if a crisis could be Gre
ated TO force a general election,
it is quite possible that Mr.. Be
van would be installed in top
power in Great Britain. This
could affect the relationship of
Great Britain and the United
States-which have had to work
IN close cooperation for more
than a decade-not only because
of Mr.. Bevan's personal criti-

around his neck is derived from
the 'Enkolpia" worn by the early
Christians and serves as a re-
minder of the sacrifice of the
martyrs and the power of the
cross. The dalmatic and tunic
worn under the chasuble at Pom
tifical Mass are relics of Roman
dress and indicate the fullness
of the priesthood which the bish-
op possesses; the mitre, origin
ally a round soft cap worn by
bishops, in the Middle Ages be-
came elongated into the two
peaks we know with symbolic
representation of love of God
and love of neighbor, the whole
mitre signifying the helmet of
salvation. The gloves, introduced
in the tenth century, were orig
inally white but now follow the
color of the day and symbolic
purity of heart in approaching

fourth finger of the right hand,

seal of faith and the union of
the bishop with his diocese. The
crosier is the staff of the apos-
tolic office, the pointed end
symbolizing the bishops office
to stir up the lazy, the shaft his
support to the weak and the bent
top his care for the flock as its
shepherd.
Q. What can tDe sag about the
pride and ambition of Pope
Gregory VII, knoton In history
as HiLdebrdnd?
A. A great deal that has been
written about Hildebrand is emo
tional reaction to the power Of
the Catholic Church at that time.
Born in Tuscany of humble par
ents he was a Benedictine abbot,
counsellor of six popes, before
he was chosen in spite of his pro-
tests in 1913, to be pope and
leader of a great reform. In or
der to correct widespread abuses,
rising from decay of Charlie
magne's Empire, he insisted upon
clerics being chosen by the
Church not by civil rulers like
Henry TV. When Henry violated
the agreement and was excom-
municated and humbled, it is
quite possible that Gregory's
power was not consistent with
present-day ideas of separation of
Church and State. It was, in fact,
an attempt to apply the teach
ings of st. Augustine regarding
the "City of God" and not per-
sonal ambition which guided st.
Gregory VII. He died in exile,
saying, 81 have loved truth and
hated iniquity; therefore / die
in exile" His feast day is cele-
brated May Is, and his interces-
sion might well be invoked for
guidance of men in Church and
Government, toward the balance
indicated in Christ's words:
Render to Caesar the things
that are Caesars. and to God the
things that are Gods"

The Universe said editorially:
Although it is generally recogniz-
ed that Catholics may belong to
any political party in this country
except the Communist it becomes
increasingly necessary to point out
that this does not dispense us from
the necessity of applying Christian
principles to politics in whatever
party we may be working" The
special problem raised by Mr..
Beyan's movement was brought
to public notice some time ago
by Bishop Heenan of Leeds.
Criticizing Mr.. Bevan's "philos-
ophy," as expounded by him per-
sonally in his book "In Place of
Fear" the UniUerSe says there
is little difficulty in seeing that
it is one which no Catholic could
accept When he bases his
campaign on hatred, so that the
definition of about half the
country as lower than vermin'
is not a chance phrase but an
epitome of his political system
few people can fail to realize
how incompatible 1t is not only
with Christian thought but with
the obligation of charity"
Some of the leaders, in con-
trast to the rapidIy-growing left
wing group, are now considering
sympathetically the demand for
co-partnership and profit-sharing
as possible alternatives for insur-
ing the more equitable distribu-
tion of property. There also have
been suggestions for reversing
the tendency for more and more
central State action in favor of
decentralization and the distribu-
tion of power through the COM
munity.

Since the appearance in 1851 of the report of

INQUIRY CORNER

@. What are some proofs of
the Sacrament of Holy Orders?
A. Since Christ established a
Church to do certain things, to
take His place, we know from
reason that there would have to
be officials for the orderly car
rying out of this mission. Exam
lining the evidence of mans con-
fusion and degradation without
divine guidance we know there
had to be an organization of men
such as the Apostles, whom
Christ trained. In the Old Testa-
ment Isaias (66:2D prophesied
that the Messias would call
priests from among the Cen
tiles, and Malachy Gid speaks
of the "clean oblation" to be of
fered "by the gentiles from the
rising of the sun even to the 60
ing down" In the New Testa-
ment these prophecies we're full
filled by Christ when He chose
twelve men to be apostles i. e.
"sent" MARK 3:13; Luke 6:13)
while the rest we're disciples i. e.
taught" Further Christ gave
them the command to teach all
nations Matthew 28:19; Mark
1919, to baptize Matthew
28:19, to forgive sins John
20:23 to consecrate the Blessed
Eucharist duke 22:19; / Cor.
11:25) and declared these pow
ers perpetual Matthew 1920.
In the appointment of st. Mat
thias (Acts 1:26), the ordination
of st. Paul and st. Barnabas
Acts 1879 and of ''priests in ev-
cry Church" (Acts 14:22) we have
instances of the administration
of this Sacrament, 1t was given
by Bishop imposing hands Il
Timothy Ala with the inten-
ton Of passing on the powers
given by Christ to the Apostles
as it is in the Catholic Church
today.
Q. Was there a hierarchy In
the early Church,
A. The name hierarchy, so I'M
thinkingly abused by enemies of
the Church today simply means
a form of organization in which
there are degrees of authority.
Christ certainly gave power to
teach, rule and sanctify to the
Apostles which they were to pass
on until the end of the world.
Q. Could you explain some of
the UeStmentS morn by a bishop?
A. The explanation of the vest
mentS involves two things, as do
many liturgical objects. The his
torical origin of most of them
indicates the use or adaptation
of objects in everyday use dur
ing apostolic times or later. The
prayers involved in blessing or
putting them on indicate the
symbolic meaning which has
been attached to them by the
Church. The buskins Qong cere-
monial stockings) and sandals
come from ancient Rome, becom-
ing insignia of bishops during
the decline of the Empire. The

op wears on an ornamented cord

NeiUs Of Run,ania

Soviet commission has been In
charge of Rumanian railroads
since April, 1851.
News has seeped out regard
ing the establishment of a spe-
cial school for civilian security
officers, the purpose of whose
training is to take care of popu-
lar revolt, protest action and col
laboration with a future enemy
behind the lines.
Faithfully Reported
Strikes and even riots do not
seem to be entirely absent in
this sovietized paradise. Rail-
way workers protested noisily
before the Railway Administra-
tion Building in Bucharest on
September 18, last. In the Bicaz
hydro-electric plant, which fur
nisheS power to the Ukraine,
there was a recent strike of en1-
ployes.
Arrests and convictions are re-
ported faithfully in this bulle-
tin. A mass purge of the mill
tary Notwithstanding one
General Petrescu, the officer
judge who condemned MANU-
and many other enemies of the
regime-has been in progress.
Parish priests who fail to slant
their sermons along the approx
ed political lines are being fin
ed from five to ten thousand lei
for each offense. On November
IS, 1851, Valerin Zaharia, de-
scribed as former Iron Guard
hoodIum, was consecrated bishop
of the Orthodox see of 0radea.
Obligatory courses in Marx
ism-Leninism have become the
rule for all persons engaged in
intellectual pursuits. Members
of the Rumanian Academy, no
matter how old or how distin-
guished, are forced to attend lee
lures and "refresher" courses in
Marxism.
Chapter and Verse
Full information is given with
chapter and verse regarding the
constant influx of Soviet tech
nicians and advisers in almost
every phase of Rumanian nation
al life. One |. Pinkovsky holds
the post of chief of the Section
of Documents and Studies of the
Ministry of Education. His prin-
cipal job is to pass on all text
books used in Rumanian schools.
ALI in all, the news out of
Rumania as contained in the
bulletin is no novelty. The inn
portance rests on the ring of
absolute authenticity and the
singularly important culling of
the Rumanian press which, in
spite of the rigorous censorship,
turns up innumerable nuggets of
significant information.

Church in Marion, where Mr.. Col
Inns was a member and deacon.
First Elected in 1945.
Mr.. Collins first was elected
lieutenant governor in the Novem-
Der general election of 1945 after
he had been declared the nominee
in contested Democratic primary
election.
He won the nomination over
Charles R. Fenwick of Arlington
County when Judge Julien Gum
of Richmond Circuit Court held
the entire vote In Wise County in
valid because Of frauds, including
the theft Of IS of the county's 81
poll books.
Loss of Wise County's more than
5000 votes on the basis of official
returns wiped out Mr.. Fenwick's
Statewide plurality of 572 votes
and gave Mr.. Collins the nomina-
ton.
After serving as lieutenant gov
ernor in the administration of
Gov. William M. Tuck, Mr.. Collins
was reelected in 1949 on the ticket
with Mr.. Battle.
