Roberts also acted as a go
between for 1t. Carper and
other narcotics sellers who were
under his protection. On one
occasion when he was instructed
to collect $3.50 from Leonard
Dixon and give it to Carper by
dropping it into Carper's car
at prearranged rendezvous on
a crowded street. Dixon, who
wanted to make sure that the
money was actually going to
Carper. followed Roberts and
was observed by Carper. This
angered Carper and he told
Roberts that he could not accept
any more money from Dixon.
This incident was similarly de-
scribed by Dixon, who also tes-
tilted.
In September. 1949, Roberts
learned that there was a large
cache Of pure cocaine in the po-
session of one Jesse Jeffers at
the Dunbar Hotel. He attempted
to bribe the house detective of
the hotel. Jack Scott, to admit
him to Jeffers' room to seize this
cache. Scott put Roberts off.

pointed hour o'clock-later
in the day. and then called both
Carper and the Federal Bureau
Of Narcotics. A. trap was laid,
and Carper Joined Scott and a
Federal agent to wait for Rob-
ertS' return. Roberts testified
that at about 3 o'clock he re-
ceived a warning telephone call
from Carper who told him that
Scott had informed against him.
Last Payment Made.
Roberts last payment to Car
per was made on october l,
1949. A few days later Carper
called him and said that some
body has gotten a buy on you"
that Federal raid was impend-
ing. and that Roberts should get
out Of town for year until
things quieted down again. Rob-
erts departed briefly, but de-
cided to come back, disgruntled
that Carper had failed to give
him the protection for which he
had paid. Carper told him the
matter was out of his hands and
that he could do nothing more.
Soon afterwards, when the
Federal Narcotics Bureau To-
Gated him and organized a
raid, Carper warned Roberts
SO that the latter was able to sit
across the street from his apart
ment and watch the agents and
police search it. A week later
Roberts turned against living as
a fugitive and surrendered vol

of Narcotics.

the visits from Carper which
Roberts described, and testified
to frequent telephone conversa-

same procedures are followed
throughout :"
Mr.. BldnShdrd makes no pre-
tense eUen of recording the has
tory of the hierarchy; neither the
American hierarchy nor the Unit
ed States is tloo hundred gears
old; there is clearly no citation
in detdip or otherwise Of either
methods or accomplishments: and
no one of his "nadjor statements"
in this chapter is .documented at
all.
One of the most serious faults in
Mr.. Blanshard's book is his con-
stant misuse of the Inlprinldtltr.
He has scores of references to pub
lications which have weight and
value as he seeks to use them
only on the assumption that he
makes and expects the reader to
make, that because these quota
tions carry the Inlprimdtur of a
Catholic Bishop the matters he
quotes from them are official,
authentic Catholic doctrine"
Anyone who has even a passing
interest in the meaning of the
Tmprimdttr can find out easily that
the Irnprimdtur is simply a
statement of permission to pub
lish, given to a subordinate by his
superior. The only essential mean
ing of the Inpprimatur is that, in
the opinion of the official granting
the Inprimatur, the document
concerned contains nothing con-
trary to Catholic doctrine in faith
and morals. 1t no more guarantees
the accuracy, authenticity, credibil
ity, or infallibility of the document
to which it is attached than a gov.
ernment certificate on bottle that
it contains no artificial coloring, is
a guarantee that the contents will
cure badness, cancer, or arthritis
Mr.. Bianshard found many pas.
Sages written by some Catholic
which he could use to prejudice
the uninformed against American
Catholics. If any. of these were
published with an Imprimdtur, he
used that fact inaccurately to con
yey the idea that the passage was
authentic Catholic doctrine" Some
of them were inaccuracies, some
fragments which Mr.. BlansharC
misinterpreted, some just remarks
in bad taste, some mere opinion
that represented no one but the
author.
One of Mr.. Blanshard'S most
elaborate series of misrepresenta
tions is his treatment of Ia "erron
eous ideas" about Catholics as Civ
en- in a national Knights of Colum
bus ad. Mr.. Blanshard accuses the
X. of c, of adopting "the transpar
ent device of mis-stating slightly
the major criticisms of non-Catho
lies about the hierarchy's reaction
ary dogmas; then it denies thi
mis-statement Justify, attempting Il
give the casual reader the impress
sion that the underlying criticism
on which the mis.statements arr
based are also untrue"
He says that he puts down (ol
an opposite page) "the exac
statement of Catholic doctrin,
that the hierarchy did not stat
in frank terms" Mr.. BtanShdrt
does not state "eTdct Cdtholi
doctrine" in a single one of hi
IA dnSt0erS.
An example:
X. of c.: You hear 1t said tina
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1952-05-09

Gated, fair-minded, unprejudiced
none Catholics that Catholics do not
believe that these are marriages.
/ have talked to exactly that sort of
nom Catholics who, at least until /
talked to them, believed that the
Catholic Church did not acknowl-
edge any Protestant marriages of
any kind as being valid marriages.
The Church holds that marriage
between two baptized Protestants
who are free to marry is a valid
marriage and a sacrament. This is
explicitly stated in the book Mr..
Blanshard refers to in his docu-
mentation. Mr.. Blanshard should
say what he means by "non-Catho-
lie marriages." and by inUdlid.
AS it stands, his is a false state
ment.
And another:
K. of c.: That they adore statues.
Blanshard: They generate stat
ues by canonical order.
Anyone who has read much anti.
Catholic literature or who has even
had friendly conversations with
inquiring n-Catholics knows that
the absurd idea that Catholics
adore statues" is still fairly com
mon. Mr.. Blanshard, in answer tC
this nonsense, does not say sol
course it is nonsense" as he woulC
have said if he knew and wished
to spread the truth. His answer i:
that the Catholics "venerate" stat
ues by canonical order! Anyone
who is linguistically unable to dis
tinguish between worship" anC
"venerate" should refrain from
discussing Catholic doctrine Of
Canon law. Webster's Dictionar,
says that "venerate" means ito re
gard with reverential respect, o.
with admiration and Difference; Il
revere.
And the canon referred to by Mr.
Blanshard does not order Cath
olics to venerate statues. This can
on does not even recommend The
veneration of statues, but is essen
TALLY a list of directions to tn,
clergy concerning the placing ant
care of statues, pictures and Simi
lar objects. OF course, the doctrin,
of the Church is that Catholic
should venerate the saints whom
the statues represent.
These examples exhibit tn
Blanshard scholarship" and argu
ment in their almost total unreli
ability.

Refutes Paul Blanshard's Charges

Catholics believe all non-Catholics
are headed for He'll.
Blanshard: Non-Catholics who
deliberately reject Catholicism are
headed for He'll.
This would express Catholic
teaching only if the word "deliber-
ately'' we're taken to mean deliber-
ate rejection of what the individu-
al non-Catholic actually belieUed'
to be the truth. The deliberate
rejection of the truth is condemn
ed by the Catholic Church as an
immoral act. Hypocrisy, pretend
ing to believe the opposite of what
is actually believed to be the
truth, is condemned by substantial
ly all persons who have a moral
code of any kind. Mr.. Blanshard's
statement would clearly include a
non-Catholic who deliberately re-
jected Catholicism because he
honestly and conscientiously be-
lieved it was not the truth. How
ever, according to the teaching of
the Catholic Church the person
who rejects Catholicism deliberate
~, in the sense of carefully fol
loloing his conscience (Which
should involve deliberation) is not
''headed for He'll" Either Mr..
Blanshard does not know the Cath
Ollie doctrines concerning saliva
ton "outside the Church" and the
priority of conscience" or he
does not wish his readers to know
them.
Another example:
K. of C.: That they believe non,
Catholic marriages are invalid.
Blanshard: Non-Catholic mar
riageS involving a Catholic are in
valid.
Look at Mr.. Blanshard's state
ment and compare it with the
statement he is trying to answer
Even if Mr.. Blanshard's statement
were accurate and true, it still
would not show that there is any
"mis-statement" in the Knights oil
Columbus ad. There the statement
"non-Catholic marriages" unmodi
fled, means all marriage amone
non-Catholics, and it is a belief
held even today by some well-edu
