Dowdy, Elected to House Twice,
Has Yet to Give Maiden Speech

Representative John Dowdy,
40-year-old lawyer from Athens,
Tex, has the distinction of having
been twice elected to the House
from the Texas 7th congressional
district before making his maiden
speech.
This is because he was first
elected last September % to fill
out the unexpired term of Repre-
sentative Tom Pickett, who re-
signed to take a private job. BY
that time Congress had quit work
for the year.
On November 4, Mr.. Dowdy was
elected again, this time for a full
two-year term in the 83rd Con-
|gress, meeting January 3.
No Republican Opponent.
In his first campaign, he had
five opponents for the Democratic
nomination. In the other he had
but two. In the November elec-
ton there was no Republican con-
testant.
Mr.. Dowdy campaigned on a
platform for honesty, economy
and sound government"
He was born on February IL.
1912, at Waco. Tex, but lived
during most of his early youth at
Rusk, Tex. His great-grand-
father was pioneer farmer in

Mystery Shrouds
Capuchin's Death
In Red Bulgaria

ROME radio, NC)-A Capuchin
priest has died in q prison in Com
munist- dominated Bulgaria under
mysterious circumstances, accord.
ing to SICO, information service of
the Sacred Congregation for the
Oriental Church.
The service said the priest was
d2-year-old Father Fortunatus Bsk-
alscki, O.F.M., Cap, who had been
arrested July 18, and who was re-
ported by the Bulgarian police to
have died of double pneumonia on
an unspecified day during August.
Suspicion centers on the cause
of Father Bakalscki's death, SIC0
said, because he was in robust
health at the time he was arrested.
1t added that neither his religious
superiors, nor his family or anyone
else, had been advised that he was
ill and in danger of death.
Father Bakalscki's fate recalled
the case of another Bulgarian
Capuchin, Father Damiano, who
was arrested two years ago and
has been unheard Of since. A re-
port reaching Vienna last March
said the priest had only then been
brought to trail for his hostile
attitude toward the communist re-
snlIe. He was condemned to IL
years Imprisonment, the report

New Era Seen
In Japanese
Liturgical Art

T0KY0-NC)-A new era in the
history of japanese liturgical art is
now in the making, according to a
leading New York Catholic art ed
itor.
He is Maurice Lavancux. editor
of Liturpicdl Arts, who is on a
world tour seeking material for
his magazine and who plans q spe-
cial Japan number for next Febru-
ary. He spent three weeks visiting
the principal Japanese Catholic
centers, from Tokyo in the East to
Hiroshima in the West.
He points out that, as far as he
can discern, there have already
been three periods in the evolution
of liturgical art in Japan. The first,
he said, was characterized by a
heavy over.lay of pseudo European
culture, while the second began as
result of the impetus given to
native art by Archbishop CeIso
Costantini. secretary of the Scared
Congregation for the Propagation
of the Faith and former Apostolic
Delegate to China.
Art Standards Accepted
At present Mr.. Lavanoux con-
tinued, the ecclesiastical art of ia
pan is going through third and
more positive period in which
there is greater willingness to sc-
cept present-day standards of con
struction and a modern conception
of design.
1T is at this point" the art ed
itor declared, that opinions vary
among missionaries. Some contend
that the ancient japanese forms
are not too acceptable to converts,
since they remind them too much
of their former pagan allegiance,
while others claim that a vital liv-
ing style of building is not entirely
suitable to the Christian concept Of
art"

MosIems, Protestants Support
Legion Of Decency In Malaga
Back Catholics In Drive To Boycott Immoral Films
And Literature; See Danger To Youth

SNGAPoRE-(NC)-Protestsnts
and Mohsmmedans are reported
here TO be joining Catholics in
support of the Legion of Decency
started last July by Bishop Mich
sel Olcemendy of Mslaccs to com
bat immoral films and literature
in Malaga.
Prominent among those backing
the Legion is Gen. Sir Gerald Tenn
pier, High Commissioner of Ma
lsya. who stated in letter pub
lished in the Straits Times that he
regards the Legion as an import
ant potential force against inde-
cent movies and literature.
Meanwhile, q great number of
Malays (Mohammedans) have al
ready signed the Legion's pledge to
boycott Objectionable movies. In
an editorial implicitly backing the
Catholic organization, Utuson. the
Singapore Moslem newspaper de-
clsred: THE film censor in Malays
should try to follow the example
of some countries where films are
divided into various categories al
lowable for screening to various
age groups"
No distinction is made in Singa-
pore and Malaga between films for
adults and youngsters. The result
is that youngsters of different ma
tionslities are admitted indiscrim-
inately to pictures which are not
only partly, but wholly, objection
able.
Catholic reaction TO the forma.
ton of the Legion has been de
scribed as prompt anc vigorous.
A process of education has been
started through the schools and in
the pulpits, and the Legion OF
Mary is conducting a door-to-door
campaign explaining the Legion
pledge and getting signatures,
even from Protestants and pagans.

priests condemned to death and
also to "move. this case in the

bly,"
World.Wids Protest
Meanwhile, similar voices in pro-
test we're raised all over the world.
In Dublin, Archbishop Gerald p.
o'Hara, Bishop of Savannah-Atlan-
ia and papal envoy to Ireland, said:
Undoubtedly the real reason
why Bishop Bossilkoff and the
priests we're condemned to death,
and others given long sentences,
was their fidelity to the Church
and their Stesdfsst refusal to
abandon it"
Archbishop O'Hara has had con-
siderable experience on how things
90 in a communist country. He
himself was ousted from Red Ru-
mania after serving as regent of
the papal nuncisture there for
several years.
London reported that the Vatican
Radio broadcast heard here com
mented on Sofia, Bulgaria,
broadcast which purportedly gave
the reaction of Catholics to the
trial
Vatican Radio said that undoubt-
edly there is great indignation"
among the Bulgarian Catholics.
But, II added, this anger is not
directed at the victims of the SO
called trial but at the Red court
and the methods used TO break the
will of these people so they "con-
fessed" crimes they never com
mitted.
In Rome the Central Executive
Of the Christian Democrat Party
also voiced vigorous protest IN =
statement declaring that the death
sentences handed to Bishop Bossil-
koff and three priests were Just
one more confirmation of the con
tempt OF world communism for hu.
man freedom and liberties. The
statement pledged solidarity with
oppressed Catholics in communist
countries and pledged the party to
the principles of democratic co.
operation and to the restoration OF
human dignity among nations.

The left side Of the heart and
the right side of the heart have
no direct communication one
with another. There is communi-
cation between them only after
the blood pours out from one
side, and flows through the en-
tire body and back again to the
other side. So in the Mystical
Body of Christ, each Catholic
and each parish has communion
and strength within itself, only
when it dispenses its plasm of

The policy we have followed
