A Letter From Bill Lantaff
Dear Neighbor:

Eight out of every 10 people
contacted by your Congressman
on the recent sidewalk survey"
expressed emphatic opposition to
admitting Red China to the Unit
ed Nations.
This was the largest opposition
vote expressed on any of the IL
questions your Congressman ask
ed the man-on- the street thru
out South Florida. The percent
age breakdown found 80 per cent
would not approve admitting Red
China to the UN, IA percent voic-
ed approval, and six per cent did
not register an opinion.
One gentleman, from the South
west Miami area, expressed his
mo" vote on this question in this
manner: "Red China came into
power through violence which is
against mans natural moral law.
Furthermore, they hace continu-
ed in violence, lies and commun-
lists ideas with no regard for
the individual man or the soul
which God created"
A gentleman, from Hialeah, put
1t this way: 81 would in no un-
certain terms fight any and all
proposals made in an effort to
get Red China a seat in the Unit
ed Nations. feel, and know a
lot of Americans feel, that if they
are admitted, all the bloodshed
which has come about in the last
three years was in vain"
Another gentleman failed to
express his opinion on this and
the two following questions on
the survey, with this blunt
statement: "The United Nations
is a miserable failure and I'm for
going back to the principles of the
good old Monroe. Doctrine and
/ don't mean Marilyn."
A lady in Coral Gables explain
ed her opposition vote this way:
Would 1 approve of admitting
Red China to the UN? Heavens,
no. not at this time any way,
Voting them in now would be
rewarding them and they de-
serve only to be punished fol-
their aggression"
The affirmative votes were in
the great minority on this cues
t1on but some Of the folks cast
ing Yes votes said, while they
didn't uphold Red China, they
would favor anything that Nigh,
BRING about world peace. There
were others who felt that since
the United Nations, was labeled
as such, all nations should be
permitted to be members.
One gentleman gave a surpris-
ing answer to support his affir-
native vote. He said, "Why not?
Russia is already a member and
possibly China would be a thorn
in Russia'S side if admitted. After
all. I don't believe there is any
love between the two countries. !"

First Cardinal
Appointment BY Pope Plus
Fills Vacancy Created By
Death OF Italian Prelate

VATICAN CITY - India was
scheduled to get its first Cardinal
in history with the adding of Arch
bishop Valerian Gracias OF Bombay
to the group of new Cardinals to
be created in the January IL Con
sistory here.
The 52-yesr-old Archbishop was
named to the College of Cardinals
by His Holiness Pope Plus XII to
fill the vacancy created by the
death of Patriarch Carlo Agostini
OF Venice, who died last week. The
Pope's action was described as an
unusual and unexpected move.
India's four million Catholics
who have long been longing for
their own Cardinal have been in
the world spotlight in recent weeks
by the celebration of two centen-
mails: the 10Th centenary of the
coming of st. Thomas the Apostle
to India and the fourth centenary
of the death of st. Francis Xavier.
The naming of an Indian Cardin-
al will extend the representation in
the Sacred College to % countries
and territories. Two other coun-
tries will receive their first Card
inal at the January II consistory:
Colombia and Ecuador.

derful light. For in what else does
the substance of this ineffable
mystery consist but in the work un-
dertaken by God and by Him grad
ually brought to its conclusion in
aid of His creature, in order to
lift him up again from the depths
OF the most grievous and general
misery into which he had fallen?
We mean the misery of sin and
separation from the Supreme
God.
Throughout his message the Ho-
ly Father warned against what he
called the "depersonalization" of
man being wrought even in soci-
eties where Christian goodwill pre-
walls. He said that humanity has
been able to build marvellous ma
chimes of production, but asserted
"it is superstition to expect saliva
tion from rigid formulas mathe-
matically applied to the social or
der, for this attributes to them an
almost prodigious power which
they cannot have"
Declaring that in some countries,
the modern State is becoming "a
gigantic administrative machine"
extending its influence over almost
every phase of life, the Pope as
serted that "in many of his more
important activities, man has been
reduced to a mere material object
of society, while society itself has
been transformed into an imper-
sonal system and into cold or
ganization of force. F"
Pope Plus delivered his Christ
mas message, his 14th consecutive
one, in the Consistorial Hall of the
Vatican, where members of the
College of Cardinals had assembled
to extend him Christmas greetings
He spoke in Italian, since all the
Cardinals present were Italian. AS
soon as he had finished reading the
message, an English-language trans
lation was broadcast over the Vati
can Radio.
Other languages in which the
Pope's message was then broadcast
included Spanish, Dutch, Portu.

Croatian, Roumanian, Slovene

Chinese Latvian, Arabic, Abyssin-
ian. Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian,
Danish, Albanian, and Byelorussi-
an.
Deploring the tendency, even in
the free world, to look for saliva
ton in some intlexible order or
system or some new social formu'
la" the Holy Father declared that
human society is not a machine
and must not be made such, even
in the economic field"
Modern industry" the Pope
said, has unqueStlolnaDly nau pen

which arises today is this: Will a
world in which the only economic
form TO find acceptance is vast
productive system be equally fitted
to exert a happy influence upon
society in general and upon the
three fundamental institutions OF
society in particular"
The institutions, to which the
Pope previously referred, were the
family, the State and private prop
erty. Continuing, he said:
