Writer Emphasizes Practical
Gifts For Nuns AT Christmas

Nuns, like ordinary people. need
things They don't like to ask for
them but they'd appreciate receiv-
ing them from thoughtful friend
at Christmas just the same. And
perhaps one of the incest things
about gift-shoppng for a nun is
that she's delighted with much less
than a mink coat, Betty Jean Jeff
ries writes in the December Ca
tholic Digest
1.-The most practical present for
all Sisters, whether cloistered or
in an active Order, is sewing box.
Make it yourself or buy genuine
leather-and-g gold box at the store
but be sure to fill it with thread,
needles, common pins and black
pins, snaps, tape, mending yarn,
thimble, shears, pinking scissors,
anything that might be needed by
the seamstress.

to respect one snother's human
rights however much they may
disagree or differ about one thing
or another.
Blsnshard, unlike most Amer
leans, does not trust his fellow
citizens who are Catholics. He devi-
ates from the general good-humor-
ed American faith that Americans
are good chaps who can count on
one another to be good neighbors.
Blanshard TO put it shortly, is
suspicious. There is nothing sur
prising in the fact that he virtual
ly equates Catholics with Commun-
lists, the Vatican with the Krem-
lin. We know there are Com
munists under the American bed.
Blanshard has long imagined
there were Catholics there. So
he Jumps them together.

so extraordinary a departure from

normal American fair-mindedneSs
and good-neighborliness that it is
equivalent, in its unusualness, to
a man biting a dog. The newspa-
perS, with their man-biteS-dog
philosophy of journalism, inevi-
tsbly play up Blanshard's fright
ened misstatements about Catho-
lies and Catholic beliefs.
Wedges of misunderstanding and
a kind of millenial apprehension
are driven between groups of citi-
zens. Thus grave harm is done to
American harmony when the coun-
try, deviIishly menaced from with
out, needs unity as never before.
| speak of a "millenial appre-
hension." I refer to the fear of the
Blanshardites that Protestant lib
critics might be suppressed if
America ever became a Catholic
country. They wouldn't be suppress
sed. A Catholic America would
still be American
But if some of our Protestant
friends cannot believe that, why
cannot they at least stop worrying
about it? | call it millenial ap-
prehension because it is rather like
worrying about what America will
be like when ninety per cent of the
citizens are above seven feet tall.
That prospect, it seems to me, is
not much more remote than the
prospect that almost all Americans
are going TO become Catholics. |
expect no such tidal wave of con-
versions. Do Blanshard and his fol
lowers expect it? If not, what are
they fretting about?
II they do expect the conversion
of America, what makes them inn
agine that all those converts, upon
embracing the faith, will suddenly
cease TO be Americans devoted TO
individual liberties, and instead
will become totalitarians? Really
the whole thing is one of the most
fantastic bogeys that ever fooled
anybody into giving it a second
glance.
| am happy to report that more
intelligent voices are being heard
Myron c. Taylor, in an address at
Cornell University said:
Nothing but common front
with religion can save the world
from catastrophe. Religion is the
only force that can bind people to-
gether to resist evil influences and
actions. 1t cannot be really effec-
tive unless all religions enlist un-
der one banner and establish
common front inspired by faith in
Almighty God"
That is sense diSplacing non
sense. II is moronically silly of us,
at a time when the monster of
atheist imperialism is towering ov-
er us, to be quarreling over the
fantastically remote question of
what might or might not happen if
we should all become Catholics.
Another voice of sanity is that
OF Or Harry Emerson Fosdick, AT
Reformation service in Buffalo,
he pleaded for cooperation be-
tween Catholics and Protestants.
He pointed out that there are ma
tions where Professionalism is the
state religion, just as there are
nations where Catholicism is the
state religion; that America is diff
ferent, and that Catholics as well
as ProtestantS, like the American
system
That Is precisely the point.
America is different, and we like
il that way. If the newspapers
would forget about men biting
dogs, and play up news because II
is important, rather than because
il is abnormal. the voices of the

Jewish Nationalism
Assai|ed by Director
OF Judaism Council

Every one of the identifying
hallmarks of incipient totalitar-
ianism is 'screamingly apparent"
in Jewish nationalism (Zionism) &,
Rabbi Elmer Berger, of New York,
executive director of the Ameri-
can Council for Judaism, charged
last night.
He spoke at the National Ad-
visory Board dinner. the opening
event in the councils four-day
eighth annual conference, now is
session in the Shoreham Hotel.
The criteria of totalitarianism
which also apply to Zionism.
Rabbi Berger said, include con-
troll over the press and other
sources of information. an al
most hysterical" opposition to
change or difference of opinion,
the tendency to rationalize ''irra-
tional behavior" and the technique
of rewriting history to make it
conform to the sacred tenets of
tribal nationalism."
Sees Two Groups Resulting.
BY means of these devices,
Rabbi Berger said, Jewish ma
tionalists in the United States
have caused Americans of Jewish
faith to split into two theological
groups.
There are those" he declared.
"who favor this secularized
Jewish peoplehood. They have so
manipulated that they now have
their kind of Judaism and their
kind of philanthropy. And we
know their future plans for a
completely collectivized minority
of Jews in the United States.
Between them and us there is
is a chaSm as wide as that which
separates the East from the West.
Our Judaism is different. Our
philanthropy is different. Our
ethics are different. Our mentality
is different"
The speaker said Zionism
"never was a refugee rehabilita-
ton movement"
1T was not a reaction against
anti-Semitism," he said. Accord
ing to Zionist spokesmen them
selves, 1t was a positive affirma-
tive impulse of nationalism among
a people, who, no matter how
scattered over the face of the
earth were still one people and
who would never be satisfied until
they were restored again as
nation in land of their own"

COP. Campaign Riff
Wi|I Aid Democrats,
Two Senators Predict
BY the Associoted Press

Two Democratic Senators of
widely differing views said today
the Taft-Eisenhower presidential
nomination battle may split the
Republican Party and help the
Democrats in November.
Senator George of Georgia said
he sees signs of increasing bitter
ness between the opposing forces
of Gen. Eisenhower and Senator
Taft of Ohio which could result in
a Republican Stay-at-home move
in November.
Senator George, counted in the
anti-Truman wing of the Demo-
Gratis, is supporting Senator Rus
sell Of Georgia for the party
nomination.
Senator George said he still be-
lieves the Democrats will patch up
their differences over civil rights
at the Chicago convention and
emerge as a more or less unified
party.
Murray Has Similar Views.
Senator Murray of Montana, a
backer of the Truman program,
said he also things the Republi-
cans are heading for party split
in the choice of their nominee.
Senator Murray hasn't decided
whom to back for the Democratic
nomination.
THE Republicans are going to
be in trouble anyway because
they haven't got a program, :"
Senator Murray declared.
Republicans publicly pooh pooh
the idea that they won't be able
to heal the scars of the Taft
Eisenhower pre-convention cam
paign battle after they have
chosen their nominee.
But privately some Of them say
they are getting worried about the
lengths to which some of the
partisans of the two candidates
have gone in describing the oppo-
Sition candidate.
These same Republicans say the
