As Red Zone Premier,
West Germans Hear
BY the Assoeiated Press

BERLIN, June 21.-West Ger
man circles heard anew today
that Otto Grotewohl's days as
prime minister of the East Zone
Communist regime are numbered.
Political quarters reported the
subject has come up. within the
councils of the ruling Socialist
Unity (Communist) Party and a
decision may be reached during
the annual party rally July 9-12
in the Soviet sector.
Ulbricht Standing BY.
For some weeks there have been
rumors DR.. Grotewohls health is
endangered by overwork, and the
real Communist boss of the Rus
sian zone, Deputy Prime Minister
Walter Ulbricht. is standing by to
take over the top title.
The scholarly DR.. Grotewohl,
long a theoretical Socialist,
jumped into the Soviet camp in
1916. when the Russians forced a
Socialist Communist merger. AS
co-chairman of the party, DR..
Grotewohl has held high position
ever since, despite oft-repeated
rumors his rating with the Rus
slams was Shaky.
Acted as Sounding Board.
AS the East Zones most able
speaker, DR.. GroteWohl has served
as the chief sounding board for
the Communist platform. He was
IchoSen by the Russians to keynote
the demands for "all-German"
voting, for the Kremlin's four
power conference ideas, and for a
peace treaty.
Mr.. Ulbricht, on the other hand,
confines most of his public speak,
ing to virulent attack on the West.
A shift from DR.. Grotewohl to
MIR. Ulbricht might be sign, some
political quarters reason, that the
Russians are convinced polite talk
toward the West is useless.

I say in all charity, that Willingly
or unwittingly, Mr.. Blanshard, in
attempting to accomplish his own
purpose, was making use of the
same kind of strategy which il
aimed at destroying Christianity
as a whole"
In conclusion the Bishop asked
the Catholic people of Harrisburg
to "go down on your knees and
thank God for your Catholic faith
in Christ and your privilege of suf-
fering for it,
"You will forgive" he said, land
you will not commit the sin of
harboring resentment and ill-will.
Be Christian and, like Christ, re-
turn good for evil. Be good Cath
olic and you'll be a good American.
Be charitable and be charitable
minded. Don't find enmity towards
the Church where none is intend
ed. Give every man the benefit OF
the doubt. The Church is the Bride
of Christ, and the only ones who
don't respect her and love her are
the real brethren of yours who just
never came to know her. In a word.
my people, live your Catholic faith
in every trial and circumstance of
life, and leave the rest in the hands
of Our Lord and his Blessed Moth
er."

Says Schools
Ought to Set
Race Example

NEW YORK-(NC)-If a school
makes no racial distinctions, Meth
er will the students, Msgr. Edward
J. Waterson, principal of Cardinal
Hayes High School here, told a
forum of the Catholic Interracial
Council.
Monsignor Waterson said that
racial integration in educational
institutions not only is practicable,
but is desirable. He pointed out
that in the six-year history of the
New York archdioesan high school
students have been accepted solely
on the basis of a competitive en-.
trance examination without regard
to racial or financial status.
The Monsignor said this policy
has set the pattern for student
activities and although white stud
ents predominate, Negroes are in
all activities--clubs, teams and
scholastic honor groups. He said
an absence of race consciousness
among the students is indicated BY
the fact that during the last two
years Negro students have beer
elected president of the senior
class.

His Holiness Pope Plus XII and

Radio Station Calls Bldnsl,drd
Talk 'Offensiue," Asks Reply

A TRADE against the Church,
broadcast in Harrisburg, Pa, re-
Gently by Paul BIanshard, profes-
sionaI anti-Catholic writer and
speaker, last week drew point-by-
point radio reply from Bishop
George L. Leech of Harrisburg.
Station WHGB, which had broad
cast Mr.. Blanshard's address, re-
ported that 'the speaker proved
offensive" and invited Bishop
Leech to make reply.
The Bishop disclosed that COM
plants against the lecture had
come from Protestant and Jewish
clergymen and laymen, as well as
from Catholics, and that even some
non-religious people had expressed
indignation over the Blanshard
talk.
Hits Big Lie
"You know" said Bishop
Leech, you can never catch up
with lie, the Big Lie or the little
lie; and the half-truth, the twisted
truth, is the cleverest kind of lie.
s'Mr. Stain knows that, and is
using it against America and the
Church quite effectively. Mr..
Blanshard knows that, too, and in
using it against the Church he is
using it against America and the
communities which make up Amer
lea, but apparently he doesn't see
that point. In any case, it's an eff
fective way to fill his lecture halls
and to sell his books, and he's vel
come to his profits. To Dale Fran
els by the way, whom he was
threatening with a libel suit last
year, he wrote: i have been anx-
ious for some time to retire on a
comfortable income for life"
The announced topic of Mr..
Blanshard's Harrisburg address was
the question of whether this coun-
try should send an Ambassador
to the Vatican, but, as Bishop
Leech pointed out, Mr.. Blanshard
departed from his subject to at
tack the Holy Father and to ridi-
cuIe the ceremonies, customs, and
! institutions of the Church.
The only criterion for judging
the appointment of such an ambas-
sador, the Bishop said, is whether
or not the step would be for the
best interests of the people of the
United States of America"

'Now the only point l make Is
this" he continued, why get ones
blood pressure up and blast the
Catholic Church? Why blame the
Pope? He didn't do it. He didn't init

late it To hear Mr.. Blanshard
talk you would think that we Amer
ican Bishops, at command of Our
Holy Father, have been sitting up
nights, searching for ways and
means to get an ambassador from
the United States to Pope Plus XII.
If we bishops were ever interested
in that step, there is one place
where we might be expected to
discuss it, and that is the meeting
where we all assemble, for three
days, every November in Washing
ton. Now as a bishop I've been at
tending those meetings for 10
years, and never once, even for a
moment, has such question ever
been mentioned.

ardize its children by forcing them
to accept instruction from public
teachers only. The child is not a
mere creature of the state; those
who nurture him and direct his
destiny have the right, coupled
with the high duty, to recognize
and prepare him for additional OBJ
legations"
'There is one certain nation to-
day." Bishop Leech pointed out,
together with its captive nations
behind the iron curtain, where
unity does mean uniformity-uni-
formity in word and action and ev-
en- in thought. We don't envy that
nation, so let's not try to initiate
it here.
"0ur various religious schools,
Catholic or other, are not oppon-
ents, nor even rivals, of public edu-
cation. AS a matter of fact, we all
believe in public education. We
support it like everybody else, and
we would strenuously oppose any
movement to abolish it or misuse
it. But the point is that we have
to be true to our Christian con-
science and to our understanding of
Christ and what it means to build
up Christ in our minds and our
wills and our attitudes and our ac-
tions and the totality of cur being,
whether as Christians or as citi-
zens, so that we just do not under
stand education without religion,
any more than the founding fathers
of America could understand it."
Ans,cers Marriage Attack
Bishop Leech also took issue
with Mr.. Blanshard's "tirade on our
Catholic marriage laws and our
Catholic doctrine on morality and
eligion in family life"
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1952-01-25
Bishop Leech Answers Paul Blanshard

Tell me-" asked the Bishop,
"are our Presbyterian and our
Episcopal neighbors, for example,
unAmerican because they have
their own marriage laws? Or do
they escape the strangers con-
demnation because they are not
Catholics? Does not our religious
freedom under the Constitution
mean precisely that any citizen is
free to follow his conscience and
subscribe to the moral code of any
religion of his choice? Certainly
we Catholics have standards of
morality and justice in marriage
and family life, but that these
standards of ours ever contravene
the civil law of the land even Mr..
BIanshard would have to deny"
Bishop Leech also exposed Mr..
BlanShard's stratagem of linking
the Catholic Church with Atheistic
Communism, pointing out that the
BIanshard technique is the same
as Moscow's. The Bishop quoted
the Red party line published in the
Communist monthly, Political Af-
fairs, in 1916: "The struggle must
be waged so as to drive a wedge
between the reactionary hierarchy
and the masses in the Church. -
And further on the same publica.
ton noted that success in destroy
ing Christianity will come ''only
when we connect the struggle
against the Vatican's policy with
the general struggle against fas-
cism, reaction, and imperialism"
The Real Danger
''Now | find that very interest
ing" declared Bishop Leech, "to
any discriminating mind, in read
ing the speech which Mr.. Blan
shard made here in Harrisburg, and
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1952-01-25

who accepted Harrisburg nOSpltai-
ity and remained long enough to
show us how not to be a good
neighbor and a Christian gentle
man."
Peg for CaIunnies
The real reason for Mr.. Blan-
shard's visit to Harrisburg, Bishop
Leech declared, was Ito dress up,
in his own very talented and
plausible way, some of the old
calumnies against the Church =. :.
The ambassadorship -. was only
very handy peg on which to
hang all those familiar old items
which are poor bigot's delight,
including our religious schools,
our Sacraments, especially Mar
riage and Confession, and above
all our strange happiness and con-
tentment in the Church, and our
uncompromising devotion to the
Church once and for all established
by Jesus Christ"
Actually" the Bishop went on,
1--WE are strictly bound in con-
science by the law of God and OF
the Church to honor and rever-
ence and obey all civil authority
placed over us lawfully whether by
election or by appointment, and
neither pope nor bishop nor priest
has any more to say than the King
of England about what Catholic
should think or say or do In his
quality of citizen of any nation, ex-
cept to urge him to exercise his
citizenship for what he considers
to be the best interests of his local
community and the nation =.
Unity of Spirit
"When it comes to spiritual
things, however, that is, the sanctl
fication and the saving of our I'M
mortal souls through the beliefs
and practices of our holy religion,
there our Catholic people follow
the teaching of the Sacred Scrip
lures and of their lawful spiritual
shepherds, their chief-bishop, their
local bishop, and their local pastor;
and because of the unity of our
Catholic faith and doctrine, you
may be sure that our Catholic re-
ligious life is essentially one
throughout the world
I'VE believe that Christ is true
God, as we'll as true man. We be-
lieve that He founded the Church
on Peter, the Rock, and that He
still abides in His Church"
Cites Supreme Court
Referring to Mr.. Blanshard's
criticisms of Catholic schools as
sdivisive," Bishop Leech quoted
a u. S. Supreme Court decision
which stated, in part:
"The fundamental theory of lib
erty upon which all governments
in this union repose excludes any
general power of the state to stand

WALTZ paper With Perspective Nav Fill the Bill

Those interested in creating an

developed paper, with rough sur

with an in-between degree of
texture and finish.
More and more wallpapers are

look dull when hung, but also that
are attractive in design, color. un-

Like many other materials of
decoration. selecting wallpaper for
any room presents more problems
than meets the eye. The standard
rules. which suggests a small mo-

prove either wrong or monotonous.
Room Appears Larger.
Often a small room. say a hall,
takes on added interest If the
motif In the paper has perspec-
tive and is relatively large. The
perspective seemingly pushes the
walls back and make the room
appear larger.
Any one tends mentally to count
small repeat motifs, and many of
them fill a space quickly. For this
reason a large room, for which
you do not have sufficient fur
niture, will seem more completely
furnished If you select q paper
with a small motif. /
I like to use wallpaper in rooms,
but not all rooms, and not always
on walls in a room. I use it toI
introduce color and design when
my furnishing budget is not sufi-
cient. and when fine decorative
accessories are lacking.
In other words, use wall papers

work with and to create a more
fascinating background.
