VATICAN CITY-NC)-The gift
of His Eminence Francis Cardinal
Spellman Archbishop of New York,
of copy of the Princeton Index of
Christian Art, is valuable addi-
ton to the Vatican Library.
The Index is concerned with the
understanding and Interpretation
of Christian Art from the begin
ming up to the year 1400. An inn
portant part of artistic expression
of these centuries is found in the
drawings and illuminations which
were used to decorate and illustrate
the written books.
From 1917 to date a systematic
ano constant search has been un-
der way at Princeton to locate all
published examples of Christian
Art to the year 1400. Every item
found was photographed and filed
in its proper place. This grouping
of pictures is known as the monu-
ment file and contains over 100000
photographs.
1t is more than simply large
collection of pictures because by
means of various systems of cross
filing it is possible to reach and
arrange this material in any mum.
Der of ways. For example, one
might wish to make a study of a
particular verse of the Bible, an
incident in the life of Our Lord, the
development of definite liturgical
ceremony. What did it mean to
Christians at various times and in
different places throughout the
first ID centuries of the life of the
Church? 1t is possible to gather to-
gether every illustration of these
topics which appeared in the manu-
scripts; every fresco which con
tanned it could be located; a study
could be made of every tapestry
on which ii appeared.
The index goes much farther
than manuscripts and considers ev
cry form of art whether it be fig
ures decorating ciborium or the
Biblical cycles in the windows of q

Teacher And His Class OF
45 Boys Get Columbus
Newspaper Each Week

A native of the Gold Coast who
has never left equatorial Africa lis
one of this papers most avid read
erS.
He is Stephen o. Amankra, lay
teacher in a Catholic boys school,
whose weekly copy of the Catholic
Times crosses 5000 miles of ocean
to the hot, humid colony of four
million souls.
Mr.. Amankra, to whom the news
of Catholic Press month will come
around Easter, reads the Times
with enthusiasm, but he discovered
it by accident.
Last summer a copy of the pa
per turned up in the Gold Coast
and the young teacher picked 1t
up with some interest.
Turning the pages he found a list
of 1851 Catholic college graduates
from the Columbus Diocese. Among
the names was that of Carl Eifert
of Immaculate Conception parish,
Columbus, who had just been grad
uated from Notre Dame Universe
TVS School of Journalism.
Mr.. Eifert, now a United Press
reporter in. Columbus, was surpris-
ed not long ago to receive letter
from the Gold Coast school teacher,
asking about American newspapers,
the Catholic Church in the U.s.,
and readers of the Times.
For the benefit OF Mr.. Amankra
and the AS boys he teaches, Mr..
Eifert sent a package of journal
ism textbooks, and the Times en-.
tered a subscription in the teach
er's name.
He must have read the paper
very carefully if he found my name
in it." Mr.. Eifert said this week.
"That list wasn't printed in "a
point type"
He pointed to Catholic Press
month poster with the legend:
Read Your Catholic Press-Mil-
lions Wish They Could"
'Mr Amankra would agree with
that" commented the UP report
er.

Israel a power to reckon with in

colt which now rings Israel, he
said, has imposed a "very heavy
burden" on the country from the
short-range point of view. But the
effective result has been, he said,
to force Israel to achieve higher
degree of economic self-sufficiency
than it would under other circum-
stances.
The Israeli envoy said that the
entire economic problem confront
ing Israel could be summarized in
the one word = productivity.
Seeks Self-Sufficiency
"The Israel bond issue is ad-
dressed to the inexorable need of
productivity" he declared. "We
must increase agricultural output
for the home market and for ex-
port. The essence of the Israel bond
issue is the basic consideration
that Israel must achieve a situa-
tion in the world where it will no
longer be dependent on periodic
injections of foreign resources"
