Preseason
Training Program

There will be some changes made in the appear
anees of our sanctuaries this coming Sunday. The
green vestments and altar trimmings will give place
to those Of somber purple Those who are not
chronic calendar watchers will be furrowng their
brows in an effort to dredge up the meaning and
the cause of the change. Many will put IL down to
whim Of the pastor or of the good ladies OF the
Altar Society. II just fits the mood of spring house
cleaning
Others will seek the aid of the parish bulletin
In solving the mystery. "Ah" says George Jones as
his face lights up, "Septuagesima Sunday we
should have asked your Mother to come with us.
Grace. she's in her seventies isn't she?"
The truth OF the matter will probably come as
shock to all We are inclined TO doubt the hardy
crew that numbers and labels the days on our cal
endars. According TO them next Sunday is Septua-
gesma Sunday, the herald of the Church's great
penitentia season OF Lent, Somehow il seems as If
Advent we're hardly over and here we are caught
short with the prospect OF the long Lenen fast star
ing us in the face.
Septaugesima means seventy. and in the early
Church II marked the beginning of seventy day pre-
lude TO Easter. In those days part OF the week
was given to fasting and abstinence in prepar
alton for the more rigid penitentia regimen of
Lent
Today we still retain Septuagesima Sunday. How
ever, IL comes now just three weeks before Lent
begins Much OF the pentential nature OF the period
has been lost II remains today as a reminder and a
call TO preparedness that Ash Wednesday won't find
US totally unprepsred TO enter into the Church's
most important training program.

Let us take the case of Arthur
Alexsndrovich Adams and DR..
Clarence Francis Hiskey. Adams,
a Soviet subject, was an espion-
age agent for the Kremlin as
far back as 1919. Being COM
PEELED to leave the Unite d
States, he nevertheless returned
to this country again for espion-
age purposes in the thirties. He
was assigned to obtaining infor-
nation in regard to atomic de-
velopments. Among those who
worked with him, the committee
reports, was Clarence Hiskey, a
young, native-born American. To
quote the committee: In Clar-
ence Hiskey, Adams undoubtedly
found a docile and willing pupil
in his espionage indoctrination."
Not only did Hiskey obtain data
for Adams, but he also made a
special trip by plane to Cleve-
land and enlisted John Hitch.
cock Chaplin in the work.
One OF Many
What is most important to
note is that the committee rec
ord discloses that HiSkey twas
active in communist movements
while attending graduate school
at the University of Wisconsin"
He was a reader of The Daily
Worker and was said to be an
active member of the communist
party" When called before the
committee, however, Hiskey re-
fused to answer pertinent ques-
tions, including inquiries into his
communist affiliations, on the
grounds that any answer might
incriminate him.
And the record shows that
Hiskey was only one of many
connected with Adams appar-
atus--including a medical doc
tor, a manufacturer of phono-
graph records who had original
ly been connected with the Red
New Masses, and a manufacturer
of electronic equipment.
The moral is plain. If so many
American Reds or syntpdthtzers
toere involued in espionage, hop
much more e1tenSive must IN
filtration be.

Faith amid a pagan-ProteSLdnL
culture is especially hard. But
to practice the Faith when your
heart is given to one outside the
Faith is surely the hardest
thing of all.
The question of mixed mar
riages has been brought up in
a very fortnight and heart
breaking article by Betsy Far
rier, writing in The Sign. She
has, / trust, assumed a pen
name for the occasion; other
wise the Farrier mixed marriage
has probably, by now, become
a mixed separation. For the
author uncompromisingly states
that in many cases the non
Catholic partner weiches on his
pre-marital promises. Tt e n
what?
with the birth of children"
she tells us, comes the prob
lem of schools. Your husband
had promised to raise the child
rem as Catholics; but, unaccount-
ably, the thought of nuns teach
ing his son suddenly becomes
repngnant to him. He begins
to talk about has schools and
his university for his children" +"
A wife is expected to be sub
missive to her husband; she has
been told so on no lighter au-
thority than that of st. Paul.
But how can she, Catholic,
in conscience submit to a man
whose definition of the good is
not her own? How, especially,
can she allow him to exercise
the authority a father ought to
have over his children when his
authority is not subjected, in
turn, to the authority of those
who interpret Christ's wishes
for the training of young minds?
"W hat of OBJ jectionable
books?" Miss Farrier asks. "Your
husband does not recognize the
authority of the Cuhrch. Will
such books fall into your child
ren's hands? What about ris-
que magazines, vulgar jokes, for
hidden movies, night-clubs with
sophisticated entertainers?
What will you say when your
husbands relatives advise him
never to become a Catholic, and
make jokes about these bell
ringing affairs'?"
Faith Endangered
The Catholic bride who enters.
into such a marriage probably
does not anticipate these things
her bemused bridegroom has
so cheerfully willed away all
rights over the children who are
still unborn and are, therefore,
not altogether real to him. Nor
should the non-Catholic partner
be blamed too harshly for be-
traying his signed pledges. Pro-
misses are easy to make, and hard
to keep even for those who have
the sacramentS to strengthen
them. A non-Catholic father,
10 or Is years removed from
that brief signing of pledges in
some forgotten rectory, is apt to
find the breaking of his word
to that priest" an easy thing
to justify in his own self-direct-
ed conscience.

been done. BY then. the ele-

WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON-America and
the world have had several sharp
reminders that vigilance against
Red Communism cannot be re-
laxed.
The warnings we're unrelated
and came naturally in the course
of events that produced them.
But they have an impressive
timeliness. There is reason to
believe that the American peo-
pleas they become engrossed
in the national elections, income
taxes, discussion of Universal
Military Training, and other do
mestic questions-are putting
aside thought about the most
serious of all problems-com-
munism.
The stiffest warning came
with President Truman's budget
message to Congress. II asked
for the appropriation of rec
ord sum $85, ,444 100000, which
of course the American people
would have to provide. The
warning came in the fact that
rs per cent Of this huge sum,
of nearly s65,O00. 100000, would
be spent on defense and atomic
energy development, undertak-
ings that are made necessary,
on this scale at any rate, largely
because Russian Communism is
belligerently at large in the
world.
In the discussion of the pro-
posal to introduce Universal
Military Training as a new ma
tional policy, the arguments in
favor all come back to, and cen
ter in, the fact that Red Com
munism is staggering threaten

The Shameful Years, presenting
a compact record of Soviet eS-
pionage in the United States.
Through the pages of this
booklet parade a host of men
and women who are almost un-
known to the American people.
This is all the more amazing
since their espionage efforts for
the Soviet government have re-
ceived repeated attention from
Congressional committees. But
because our secular press is so
much committed to sensation
alism, communists have found
convenient method for suppress
ing information of this character
simply by refusing to answer
questions on the ground that
the answers would tend to in.
criminate them. There is also
an indifference in the secular
press to the entire matter of Red
espionage, which can be broken
through only when such lead
ing figure in official circles is
involved as Alger Hiss.
Tend 10 lneriminate
Among those mentioned by
the House Committee report is
Louise Rosenberg Bransten, in-
dependently wealthy through in
heritance. For several years,
from 1912 on, the report advises
us, she worked with Gregori
Kheifets, vice consul of the So
Wet consulate at San Francisco.
She has also entertained Dimitri
Manuiliski. Soviet delegate from
the Ukraine and principal spokes-
man for the communist interna-
tional apparatus.

CRETTA PALMER
Diuided LOyaHies

ments of this tragic drama have
have been set in motion. The
fate and the Faith of the child
rem of this marriage are en-
dangered by a reckless and rash
decision made by one of their
parents before they ever were
conceived.
That, surely, is bad enough.
But there is another equally
tragic aspect to the affair: the
Catholic partner to such a mar
riage may herself lose her Faith,
or grievously weaken it. She
may even lose her marriage as
well because she did not safe
guard it with the Sacramento
Graces bestowed on bride and
groom at a Nuptial Mass, and
there alone.
Transfer the problem to a diff
ferent vocation and the danger
becomes clearer. Suppose that
a would-be-priest - young, zeal
GUS, filled with love of his Lord
- decide to embrace a mission
ary's life and so to be surround
ed, much of the time, by unbe-
levers. He would know, in adj
vance, that special graces were
required to keep himself in
in good spiritual shape without
the support of other priests, of
other Catholics. That is a thing
that only some tens of thousands
of priests, in all the world, are
daring to undertake at this hour.
But can you imagine that any
one of them, facing such life,
would say in advance, Don't
bother ordaining me. | can do
this without Grace of Officer"
Naturally not: a man who was
not ordained would never be a
priest at all, never be receptive
of the Graces that he needs
through the normal channels
that God has arranged for their
passage to his soul.
cieffs In q Soul
Well, when a Catholic man or
woman sets out on the vocation
of marriage without receiving
Grace of Office at the start, he
or she is very like that would
be priest. He or she is attempt
ing to fulfill difficult, lifelong
vocation without recourse to the
special helps God has arranged
to make it easier. And that is
a pretty reckless thing for any
one to do unless strongly ad-
viSed to undertake these risks
by some spiritual advisor. Few
spiritual advisors, by my guess,
push their penitents towards a
mixed-marriage in the rectory
parlor as a perfectly splendid
idea. In most cases, and un-
less there is a special, complicat-
ing factor, priests are likely to
tolerate, rather than encourage,
marriages such as this.
Betsy Farrier has done all un-
married Catholic women a vast
service by coming clean about
the conflicts and sorrows that
they court when they marry out
side the Faith. And yet she
has hardly scratched the surface
of the difficulties involved: 10y
alties working against one an
other can cause even deeper
clefts in soul than she touch
eS.
G. K. Chesterton speaks of the
sorrow of having to choose be-
tween "a friend and cause"
But what of having to see your
heart turned into a lifelong
battle-ground between the man
you love and the God you love?
Yet this is the sad life that a
good many young Catholic men
and women have chosen. And
more, they tell me, choose it
every year.

INQUIRY CORNER
What Does Church
Say On Gambling?

Why does the Catholic Church
approve of gambling?
A. The Catholic Church does
not approve of gambling, any
more than it approves of smok-
ing, dancing or drinking. But
it does not condemn as sinful
actions that are merely danger
Gus. There is no specific men,
ton of gambling as sin in the
Bible, and in fact we read in the
Acts of the Apostles that the sue
cessor to Judas was chosen by
lot. God gave us the earth and
all things in it to use as He
directed. If man uses a mod
crate amount of money for the
pleasure he gets from a friend
ly game, where does that differ
from spending the same money
to passively watch other people
play games at the risk of their
lives? One man may spend mon
ey for stamp collection, anoth-
er for fishing equipment, but
another finds pleasure in the
battle of wits with another man
in game of cards. Any one of
them can be immoderate in
spending money that should 60
to his family, or in being upset
by failure in the pursuit. But
none of these activities are i'm
moral in themselves. The Cath
olic Church stands firm on prin-
ciple, and by that very fact can
not call something a sin which
is not.
What is the connection be-
tt0een st. Valentine and vdlen-
tines?
A. According to Omer Engle-
bert's 'Lives of the Staints"
there are two st. Valentines.
One was a priest who cured the
blind daughter of the magistrate
to whom the Emperor had CON-
mitted him; the whole family
was converted and Valentine
was beheaded. The other was a
bishop, also a martyr because of

Does not the ercomn1tt'1icd-
ton, condemning to hell, of q
person shoD unChriStlike harsh
ness?
A. Excommunication does not
condemn a person to hell, any
more than St. Paups, "1et him
be anathema" condemned the
sinner to hell (Gal. i.8), but is
actually a punishment for pub
lie sin to warn others from fol-
lowing bad example, and to
bring the person excommunicat-
ed to repentance. Any excon1-
municated person can return TO
communion with the Church
whenever he is willing to accept
Gods will as expressed by the
law of the Church.

the miraculous cure leading to
conversion of a family. But
the valentine custom seems to
come simply from medieval
belief that the birds began to
pair on February 14th.
Why does the Church oppose
ser instruction?
A. Detailed instruction in SEX
ual matters by those who have
no interest or responsibility for
the whole person, teaching only
the physical facts without the
moral virtues and spiritual helps
needed for purity, is opposed by
the Church, as it is by most
thoughtful, conscientious people.
The Church, however, admonish-
es Catholic parents to assume
the responsibility of explaining
not only the ''facts of life" but
the ideals of Christian living
which give them meaning. There
are many publications by Catho-
lie writer's to help parents in
this important duty.
