Location OF St. Peters Grave
Indicated In New Excavations

WASHINGTON - The recent ex-
cavations at st. Peters in Rome
confirm the traditional belief that
the grave of st. Peter is under the
basilica.
This assertion was made in the
current issue of Foreign Service
Journal in an article written by
Philip f. Dur of the Office of Pub
lie Affairs in Bonn.

and to be the reason for a red wall
which cuts across the apse like
the chord of an arc. The grave lies
at an angle to the wall and abuts
against it. It's emplacement is
marked by niche in the wall. The
date of the wall is indicated by
markings on the bricks. 1t must
have been built between lat and

Aurelius. Finally the name of Pc

graffiti on the wall.
In view of these circumstances
it seems logical to assume that the

Government Shakevp
The report also called for
shakeup in the organization of va
rious governmental agencies deal
ing with housing and asked for the
establishment of national mort

tered but privately financed.
BY unanimous vote, the advisory
committee recommended that low
rent public housing continue under
the Housing Act of 1949 until suf-
ficient progress has been made
through private enterprise to al
leviate cramped housing for low
income families.
Amount Of funds for Federal
public housing, however, was left
to the President and to Congress.
In its last session, Congress was
asked by President Eisenhower to
continue public housing on a tenn
porary basis until an sdministra-
tion housing program was formu-
lated. But the legislators slashed
all funds for federal public hous-
ing aid.

Religion Aloof
From Politics.
Bishops Stress

LA PAZ, Bolivia-NC)-A
statement issued here on be-
half of the Bolivian Hierarchy
stressed that the Church re-
mains al0of from politics and
that mo political party can
pretend TO identify itself with
the Church.
Signed by Archbishop Abel An
tezana of La Paz, the statement as
serted also that no priest may
take part in militant politics" It
said that this prohibition had been
repeated on various occasions and
was emphasized in collective pas
toral letter issued by the Bishops
last October.
The statement said that ecclesi-
astical authorities had already
punished priests who had taken
part in party politics and would
take similar action against others
guilty of this offense. 1t stated that
these priests represented only "a
negligible percentage in relation
to the total number of the clergy" !"
The statement meanwhile eX.
horted Bolivians to put aside po-
litical, unfruitful and anti-ChriS-
tian hatreds, and strive for peace
and harmony among all"
II said that Catholics may freely
associate themselves with political
parties, except those which are
communist or are explicitly con-
demned by the Church. 1t added
that no political groups may claim,
however, to be identified with the
Church.

LaudsC Catholics
In Shanghai

HONG KONG - (NC) - Shang-
hats heroic prosecuted Catholics
are the one bright spot left in that
communist city, a foreign business
man who just arrived here from
Shanghai told an N.C.W.C. News
Service correspondent.
Father. when about to leave
Shanghai, / stopped at the railway
station and took off my hat in a
deep bow to the courage of the
Shanghai Catholics" he said.
sThey are magnificent!
IF you knew Shanghai before,
you wouldn't know it now. It's
rough. No white rice, no white
flour, no oil: and someone to
watch and report everything you
say"
He looked around nervously at
the open door and the window but
then smiled again and continued:
but the Catholics, Father, they
are the one bright spot left in
Shanghai.
when the police and soldiers
tried to take over the Church of
Christ the King, the Chinese Cath
olics filled the Church and then
knelt in close formation on the
walks outside and even on the
gravel of the parking lot. The sol
diers could not bulge them.
As one policeman with drawn
pistol started TO force his way
in, young Chinese lady rose 10
block his path and said, III
you're going TO shoot, you'll have
to shoot me before you can go
in He put up his gun and back
ed away. My heart certainly went
out TO that girl Father.
"And then at Zikawei, when
they started to set up machine
guns and tried to take down the
statues and crucifixes, the young
men crowded around and hustled
the soldiers off by sheer force of
numbers; they went to police head
quarters and asked, Where's the
freedom of religion that you pro-
claim? Leave our church alone
and take the guns out if there's
freedom of religion! You had bet
ter take the guns out anyway as
we are going back now and we'll
overrun those gun positions by
numbers, even il you shoot!
"The guns we're removed and no
trouble occurred. People admire
those Catholics and they are tax
ing instruction and becoming
Catholics like the ones they adj
mire.
THE Communists made . mis-
take in prosecuting them, Fa-
fher, because they are stronger
than ever and there will be
hundred new Catholics for ev-
cry one they put TO death.
Il had never understood them
before but now that / have seen
them so brave and courageous, |
take off my hat to the Chinese
Catholics of Shanghai"

grave, the one whose emplacement
is marked with a niche. In the
light of tradition this grave can
only be assumed to have been that
of the Apostle.
''The niche and the grave" he
continued, "do not by themselves
give any clue to the identity of the
deceased. They do, however, present
the observer with set of facts for
which tradition furnishes the
simplest and most probable ex-

''In this sense the recent excava-
tions at St. Peters constitute an
objective confirmation of one of
the most ancient and widespread
of Christian beliefs"
