NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-The
boxing world was universal in
its praise today for Uncle Mike
Jacobs, the boxing czar who for
many years ruled the game with
firm but kindly hand.
Condolences came from all sec
tions of the country from boxing
officials and fighters who knew
Jacobs as the greatest fight pro-
moter since the colorful Tex
Rickard, his friend and associate
of the fabulous 1920s.
Like a Father" to Louis.
Joe Louis, the former heavy
weight champion who came up
under Mixes guidance said:
Il was awfully sorry to hear
of the death of Uncle Mike.
The sporting world lost one
of the greatest fight promo
terS of all time and I feel I
have lost my closest and best
friend, a man who has done
more for me than any man
IN the world.
While I called him Uncle
Mike, he was really more like
father to me. I was never
treated better by any one in
the world than Uncle Mike.
It ever a fighter was overpaid
I was for my services to him.
During my four years in the
Army, he never forgot me. He
was real nice to me. There will
never be another man like him
to me-"
Louis manager, Marshall
Miles, said: He was one of
Joe's greatest friends"
Jim Norris, whose Interna-
tional Boxing Club succeeded

are bearing up we'll in the face OF
communist interference with reilg-
ious activities. Many have even
found a new incentive TO their re
ligiouS loyalty in the anti-Church
attitude of the government.
This was the opinion OF large
majority of refugees from the
Soviet Zone who were interrogated
here by the US. officials
They confirmed reports OF state
interference with the activities of
Catholic organizations but said that
so far the morale Of the East Zone
Catholics appears to be unlm-
paired.
Among the "harrassments" to
which the East Zone Catholics are
subjected, according to the refu-
gees, are refusal to make facilities
available for church activities. and
interference both with attendance
a. Catholic meetings and the relig
ious training of Catholic youth.
More than 80 per cent of the
refugees agreed that state pressure
against the Church is still in a eau
tious, preliminary stage They said
that they themselves had experienc-
ed no personal disadvantages as a
result of being Catholics. Nine per
cent stated that they had eXper-
fenced professional determinations
because OF their Faith.
A clear majority expressed the
belief that more young people are
participating in Church activities
than before, and that communist
pressure against the Church has
been a major factor in leading more
people to turn to religion.
Only II per cent expressed the
belief that official opposition to
the Church had been successful in
reducing participation in Church
affairs.

Anti-Baptisn1
Drive Opened
By Connies

VTENNA-(NC)-The Hungarian
communists have launched an anti
Baptism campaign as the latest
maneuver TO stifle Christianity.
BY preventing the Baptism of
new babies the Reds hope they will
deprive the Church of the affilia-
ton of the new generation and
keep children away from religious
influence, reports reaching here in
dicate.
The snti-Baptism campaign was
begun in two coal mining regions,
PEGS and 0zd. The former is in
southern Hungary, the latter in the
northeast section of the country
The drive is being conducted un-
der the direction of the local com
munist party secretaries. They APP
proach expectant mothers and try
to persuade" them to sign a
pledge promising that the new
baby will not be christened.
The persuasion" is the usual
communist double-edged sword
The prospective mothers will be
rewarded if they sign; they are
threatened with repriSals if they re-
fuse.
Signing the pledge. the reports
state, will mean a gift from the
regime of a complete layette for
the baby and a baby carriage The
signatures of the women will be
announced ever the local loud
speaker and printed in the paper
as demonstrating that they are
loyal proletarians.
Refusal to sign means they will
be considered the enemies of the
the peoples government and of so
cialist progress" the women are
informed. They are also warned
that pressure can be brought on
their husbands who are employed
by the state.
The women, if is stated, are
aware that their husbands can cas-
ily be fired by the regime or even
deported TO forced labor camp.

Irish Non-Catholics PAY
Tribute To New Cardinal

DUBLIN - (NC) - Irish nom
Catholics have paid striking tribute
to Archbishop John +. Dalton of
Armagh, Primate of All Ireland,
on his nomination to the College
of Cardinals.
The Protestant Archbishop of
Armagh, DR.. j. A. Gregg, express

said. Armagh takes its place again
with the great cities whose pre-
lates are being singularly honor

(The town of Armagh has two
cathedrals. The 18th century edi-
flee, on the site of the church
built by St Patrick, has been in
Protestant hands since the ''refor-
nation" The present Catholic Ca
thedral was built about 100 years
ago.
The Irish Times, Dublin daily

ing mainly to non-Catholic readers,
carried a pen portrait of the Cardi-
nal-deSignate, saying in part:

arabic from the honor (of CardinaD
and yet ii is that part of the honor
with which Ireland's new Cardinal
would most readily dispense. AS a
Professor, as a Bishop, as an Arch
bishop, DR.. Dalton has retained
the same modesty and ease of man

sciousness of dignity possessed on
ly by a man whose natural dignity
is unaSsailable.

WASHINGTON - tNCl - Fa-
ther Georges BiSsonnette, a 81
year-old American Assumptionist,
has received an entry visa to 90
to Moscow to replace fellow AS
Sumptionist priest there.
Father Bissonnette expects TO
leave for Moscow within the next
month. His entry visa is valid for
only two months. Tentative plans
call for going by plane to Hell
sinki, Finland, and then by train
to Moscow
Father BisSonnette, student of
Russian language and culture, will
replace Father Arthur o. Brass
ard, A.A., who has been in Mos
COW since January, 1850.
Father Bissonnette' visa was
granted at the Russian embassy
here after considerable Difficult
ties and delay. Application for
the visa had been made six months
previously 1t was obtained with
the help of Michael Francis Doyle
of Philadelphia, an international
lawyer who since 1888 has aided
the American Catholic priests N
Moscow. A member. of the Per-
manent Court of Arbitration at
The Hague, Mr.. Doyle serves as
protector of the American Catho-
lie mission in Moscow.
Prior to granting the visa the
Russian government had insisted
that Father Brassard leave Moscow
before Father Bissonpette take
up duties there. The suggestion
was resisted by Mr.. Doyle on the
grounds that there should be
continuous religious minis try
there.
Father BisSonnette is the fourth
American priest TO go to Moscow
in accordance with the stipulations
of the RooSeyelt-Litvinov agree
ment of 1893 when u. S. recogni-
tion was granted to the Soviet
Union. The stipulations give
Americans stationed in Russia the
right TO free exercise of liberty
of conscience and religious wor-
ship and the right to maintain
churches and have chaplains for
that purpose.
Father BiSsonnette's predeces-
sors are Father Leopold A. Braun,
c Antonio Laberge and Father
BraSsard.
Final plans for Father Bison
nette's departure viii be made by
Father Henry Moquin, US. superb
or of the ASSumptioniSts, the priest
said. Father Bissonnette will have
to obtain a residence permit after
he gets to Moscow.
II took 10 months for Father
braSsard TO get his visa in 1949
In Moscow he was barred from of
fering Mass at the Church of st.
Louis of the French, where his
predecessors had carried on their
Catholic ministry. He has had TO
