q Priests
Active I'm Old
Red Stronghold

HONG KONG-(NC)-There are
still Fl Chinese priests minister
ing TO Catholics in the Diocese of
Yenan, China, which was once the
Red capital and long communist
stronghold.
This information was brought
here by Father Francisco Zendo-
quiz, a Spanish Franciscan ousted
by the Reds from Yulin, 40 miles
from Yenan. He was the last for
eign priest in the Yenan diocese.
Two Chinese priests of the dio-
cese have been jailed by the Reds,
the priest revealed. The others
are permitted to officiate in their
churches but cannot go TO the coun-
try districts. Neither may the rural
people come to town TO attend
church services.
The priest related that he vas
very sorry to leave his Catholics at
Yulin. "They were loyal. The day
| left, every adult Catholic in the
city came to 90 to Confession and
receive Holy Communion from my
hands"
Women BTaver
Another priest who arrived here
from the Tingchow diocese in
West Fukien province testified
that the Catholic women in his vii
lages showed themselves much
braver than the men in the open
practice of their Faith In defiance
of the Reds. Many of the women OF
mis- parish even came 10 bring him
food and presents when he was
under house arrest. he said,
The priest is Father Heinrich
Pauly, a German Dominican, who
ministered to Chinese Catholics in
the Lungtien and Wuping villages
before his custer. He bad been
kept under house arrest for two
years and four months.

Told Dfeene Between Mental Illness And Sin

Los ANGELES - MC) - The
Guild of Catholic Psychiatrists
was told at its fourth annual con-
vention here that one of psychi-
atry's great basic weaknesses is its
failure tc distinguish between sin
and mental illness.
DR.. Frank r. Barta, director of
the psychiatry department of the
Creighton University School of
Medicine, Omaha, declared that
''if Freud were correct, mental ill
ness would be due to sin-or more
incongruouS still, il would be the
price We pay for virtue" +" Address
ing 400 guild members and their
guests at a banquet in honor of
His Eminence James Francis Car
dinal Mcintyre, Archbishop of Los
Angeles, DR.. Barta said: Actually,
we know there is a species of be-
havior which is involuntary and
therefore not sin, which is referred
to as mental illness"
Another speaker, Father James
H. Van Der Veldt, 0F.M., associ-
ate professor of psychiatry at the
Catholic University of America,
echoed the recent address of the
Holy Father to an international
meeting of psychotherapists in
Rome. "Psychiatry has thus far
remained a torso, and will remain
a torso until it recognizes that the
subject of mental diseases is the
whole man-composed of a materi-
al body and soul, which, being
spiritual, aims at spiritual values, "
he said.
"The neurotic patient is a per
son whose life lacks firm direc-
tives because he has no clear idea
about the purpose of life," he went
on. 'The psychiatrist must make
him aware of the meaning of ex-
istence, the value Of life, and his
personal duties and responsible
ties. Evidently the problem of ex-
istence and life cannot be answer
ed without a sound philosophy. We
Catholics possess this sound philos-
ophy."
Cardinal Mcintyre, in his adj
dress, also stressed the idea that
man must be considered as a
whole, and warned against the
tendency in science to dissect the
whole and attribute cause and eff
feet to single past.
A noted Jewish psychiatrist, DR..
Gregory Zilboorg of New York,
spoke at guild Communion break
fast on the Pope's discourse on
psychiatry, which he had heard in
Rome. Summing up the Pontiff's
talk, he said the Pope holds that
"anything not contrary to Chris
tian morality and natural ethics is
IN no way reproved by the
Church" But the Holy Father
warned against any psychiatric
practice which ''would loosen
mans relationship with God" he
said.
The guild elected John X. Cav.
anaugh, MD, of Washington, DC
as its new president. Other new
officers chosen are Francis w. Kel-
~, MD, Canandaigna, NY, vice
president; A. Vincent Gerty, MD,
Pasadena, Calf, secretary, and
Robert f. Arnot, MD, Boston,
treasurer.

The Bishop added that there

ITO support another, no matter
what the motive, is TO divide our

Bishop German said. Some of oui

Virginia Democrats
Can Legally Vote for
Dalton, Miller Says
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND. Va, Oct. o.
A long time Democratic foe of
the Byrd organization, Francis
Pickens Miller, said last night
that true and loyal" Democrats
could choose any of three courses
of action in the State election
November 3 with a clear con-
science" and vote Democratic,
stay at home or vote Republi-
can.
Mr.. Miller, in a radio address,
condemned what he repeatedly
referred to as "the Byrd Party"
but he said, II myself have no
alternative" but to vote the
straight Democratic ticket.
This, he said, was because "it
is essential for me to continue
to be in an unqueStioned posi-
ton to work for a strong Dem
ocratic Party in Virginia .
(and in order that I may be
able to serve this purpose, I
must maintain party regularity"
But Mr.. Miller told his liberal
Democratic followers that "it is
my considered Judgment that you
are under no legal obligation
whatever to vote the Byrd party
ticket on November 3, and GER
tainly under no moral obligation
in view of the way Byrd party
leaders have reacted to the Fed
eral grand jury indictment in
Richmond last week"
Sees No Clear Line.
Moreover" Mr.. Miller con-
tinued, "in light of the total po-
litical situation which has de-
veloped in Virginia, there is, in
my opinion, no one clear line of
duty for loyal Virginia Demo-
Gratis to follow on November 3.
Some will feel as I do, that
they have no alternative but to
vote the straight Democratic
ticket. Others will feel that the
most effective way for them to
protest against an intolerable
situation is to abstain from vot-
ing. While still others will feel
that it is their duty to vote and
to vote for the candidates and
the program that they think will
best promote the interests of
Virginia.
II know that honest men and
women may choose any one of
these three possible courses of
action. Whichever course they
choose. they can choose it with
a clear conscience"
Stanley Has Comment.
Mr.. Dalton, who is campaign
ing in the Norfolk area today,
could not be reached for COM
ment, but Mr.. Stanley, from his
State headquarters in Richmond,
had this to say:
Il see that Mr.. Miller in his
speech says he is going to vote
the Democratic ticket because he
wants to keep himself in an un-
questioned position to work for
strong Democratic Party in Vir-
ginia, and I assume that if he
wants to keep himself in an un-
questioned position, that he will
also want to see his friends and
former supporters remaining in
a similar position.
Therefore, cannot help but
feel that since he himself is going
to vote the Democratic ticket that
las friends will also vote the
Democratic ticket"

child? Do they have a sound
marriage? Are they in good
health? Can they provide rea-
sonable economic security? Do
they have a sound religious
faith?
1t takes many interviews and
much investigation to make
sure of such points as these.
But the agency can't afford to
take chances. AS Miss Florence
Murray, assistant director, puts
it, 1T means the life of the
child" The child and parents
are also tested for intelligence
so the youngster won't be
out of place in the family.
Some adoption agencies al
low the adoptors to reimburse
it for the expense of boarding
the child and checking the
family.
Catholic Charities does not.
Since there are more couples
seeking children to adopt than
there are children available, the
agency fears the money pay
ment might be construed as a
bribe.
With a shortage of children,
why have the Eagles been al
lowed to adopt two?
"The second placement pro-
tects your investment" Miss
Murray said. 1t protects the
first child from over-pamper-
ing by the parents, who might
tend to be worse in this respect
than natural parents. And it
makes for a more normal"
family relationship for the
child, the social workers feel.
They like to see the parents
happy, but the child is the most
important thing to them,-and,
through the Community Chest,
to you.

Building Code Revision
For Incinerators Asked

Amendments to the District
building code to facilitate install
lation of gaS-operated incinera-
tors in WASHINGTON homes will
be suggested to the Commits
sionerS Building Code Advisory
Committee at a meeting Novem-
ber 2.
At present. the building code
specifies that incinerators must
be vented through a separate
f1ue or class A chimney. In
most homes, the chimney is used
to vent the heating system. Ad-
dition of an incinerator vented
through the same chimney would
be unlawful, and construction of
another chimney or flue for the
incinerator would be too costly
to warrant the installation.
Changes are being proposed to
the Advisory Committee by the
Gas Code and Appliance subcom-
mittee.

BroYhi|| Seeks Facts
In Joining Fight on
Temporary Buildings

Representative Broyhill, Re-
| publican, of Virginia, last night
entered the fight to get rid of
temporary Government build
tngS.
He outlined his views before
Chapter SO of the Hoo-Hoo Club
in the Continental Hotel. 1t is
composed of persons in the lum-
Der business in the Washington
area.
Mr.. Broyhill said his Office
staff now is compiling all infor-
nation on the matter. such as
the number of temporary build
ings involved. the number of per-
sons working in them. and the
effect of the current general re-
ductlon-in-force program on the
need for the buildings.
Facts Are Needed.
"UnleSs we take hold of this
particular program Immediately
and really outline "a good pro-
gresSive program to eliminate the
building, we'll be confronted with
the tempos for years." he de-.
clared Someone has to get the
real facts and demand that the
buildings be razed
Mr.. Broyhill pointed out that
the buildings are the result of
emergency periods and added
that such emergencies more or
less have existed since the late
193Os
"WeIl be living in an emer-
gency situation for the next 20
years at least" he added. But
that is no reason for having the
buildings around. That kind of
temporary basis can last life
| time"
Mr.. Broyhill pointed out that
now is the best time to eliminate
the tempos because there is a
observation-disclosures of Federal
employees going on. He pointed
out that about 100000 such
workers are being released for
economy measures, including
some $4,000 here, and added:
obviously, unless some were
working on the lawns, this
means less use for the temporary
buildings, and so now is the
time they should CO."
Beauty and Economy.
BY disposing of the structures,
Mr. Broyhill added. the beauty
of the Capital will be enhanced,
especially in the area Of the
Mall.
In addition, he explained.
hundreds of thousands of dollars
can be saved in maintenance and
repair.
The speaker said that if, at
some future date, more workers
are hired, new buildings can be
put up, but not where they
would mar the beauty of the
city.
William O'Brien, president of
the Hoo-Hoo Club, conducted
the meeting.
