A. A careful study of the
whole passage (Matthew 3:2-10)
shows that Christ was not con-
demning the title Rabbi" or
Father. He was insisting that
all such honor and authority
comes from God and he was rep
rlmanding the proud Pharisees.
Catholics call their priests Fa-
ther because of his office as min
lister of the Sacrament of Bap-
tlsm, giving new birth in the
supernatural life. The Apostles
used the equivalent expression
many times John 3:5; Timo-
thy 1:2; | Corinthians 4:15).
Q. HoW does the Eighth Com.
naandntent apply to modern
1ldnae-calting e.g. accusations of
Communism?
A. We are forbidden by the

plclon, detraction, abuse or SLAM

ly wrong" stated Pope Plus XI
c'AtheiStic Communism'0, but
he urged charity for those of
Our children who are more or
less tainted with the Communist
plague. He continues: ''We ear
nestly exhort them to hear the
voice of their loving Father. We
pray the Lord TO enlighten

mere suspicion often is allowed
to ruin mans reputation. Those
who irresponsibly accuse others
of Communism are guilty of Sc
rious sin and are bound in con-
science to restore the injured
mans good name.
@. Is there O st. Theodore?
A. There are number of
saints of that name. One of them
was a disciple of the great Saint
Anthony of the Desert Fathers.
Another was General in the ar

When this Emperor continued
prosecuting the Christians after
Constantine's decree he includ.

Rather the opinions say the pro-

some of the weaknesses of the
program are inherent in the vast

Perhaps the most interesting
feature of this report is that the
opinion of religious groups was
sought. Clergymen, and espec-
tally missionaries, will not want
to become the instruments of po-
liticai or secular activity. And
they will not become such. But
they can avoid this pitfall, and

road to another legend-a brave

drawback is trivial one
he happens to be a communist.
But. of course, this can be over
looked, because Tito is really a
very decent, humble and honest
man, whose break with Stain
washed away whatever sins may
have besmirched his character.

velt's estimate of this book bit
by bit. This is well worth doing

and discovery that what was

Just Stain?
Here is the quintessence of
the foggy thinking that is be-
traying us today. Tito broke with
Stain because his dream was
not coming true and his disillus-
ionment came as result of

case. then the evil of Stalinism

else. Communism is perfectly all
right and even a valuable serv-

The reason why Tito managed

success was due to the additional

FATHER HIGGINS
Wanted: Economic Advisers

than ever before, we need an
agency of cabinet rank to advise
the President and his Admins
tration on ways and means of
maintaining maximum produc-
tion and employment. There is a
reason to fear that in the alb
sence of such a high-level coor-
dinating agency, the govern
ment will founder and possibly
fail in its efforts to effect
smooth transition from the eco
nomics of defense to the econom-
les of peace.
There are, admittedly. certain
things TO be said in criticism of
the conduct of the Council OF Ec-
onomic Advisers between 1916
and the present time. These crit
iciSmS are spelled out in pains
taking detail by the first Chair
man of the Council. DR.. Edwin
G NourSe, in new book, Eco
nomicS in the Public Service"
(Harcourt. Brace and Co. 5000.
DR.. Nourse explains-sometimes
very pointedly but, for the most
part, more or less dispassion-
ately--why he felt compelled TO
resign from the Council i'm 1949.
Frank Analysis
To the extent that his specific
criticisms of the Council are
valid, the Administration will
want to take the necessary steps
to correct the situation. But the
Administration will also want to
remember that DR.. Nourse. in
spite OF his dissatisfaction with
many aspects of the Councils
previous work. is wholeheartedly
in favor of going back to the
original idea of a three-man
Council charged with the respon-
Slbillty-even more urgent to-
day than in l946-of developing
and recommending to the Presi-
dent national economic poll
cies to avoid economic fluc-
tuations or to diminish the eff
fects thereof, and to maintain
employment, production, and
purchasing power"

rebuild the country and give
them better opportunities in
life" True, Tito did publish in
Yugoslayia the condemnations
from Moscow. But was this due
TO any heroism or honesty on
his part? Since the overwhelm-
ing mass of YugoSlavs were vio-
lently anti-Soviet and anti-com-
munist, obviously there was no
danger in revealing the nature
of the fight with Stalinism. AS
to giving the Yugoslav people a
chance for a better life, one can
only gasp at the outrageous
naivete of this statement in the
light of the tight little tyranny
exerted in that unhappy land.
Precise Cause for Concern
The Tito dictatorship is an
honest government, we are to
assume, one that has harmonized
the clashing interests of the
component republics. Certainly,
it has managed to preserve ma
tlonal unity but at what a cost
and hardly by the techniques to
which we are accustomed in the
West! Mrs. Roosevelt praises a
statement in the book that Tito
claims to be a party man en-
tirely, owes everything to the
Communist Party. This is prob
ably true. And it is precisely the
cause of our disquietude regard
ing him. But, according to Mrs.
Roosevelt, it is a sign of Tito's
great and endearing humility.
Other quotations are adduced
to show us that Tito is a modest
and understanding genius. one
of great penetration. Then the
gem of them all comes: "One be-
gins to understand why Yugo-
slavia has been fortunate in its
leaders"
Palpable Nonsense
In the name of what logic or
common sense can one conclude.
after reading this bit of propa-
gandistic bombast, that ii is the
official" biography of Tito by
one of his aides; that Tito is a
modest, self-effacing. deeply pen
etratlng person whose break with
the Kremlin was the result of
his concern for the Yugoslay
people and his love for their vel
fare? Even the slightest knowl-
edge of the events of the past
ten years demonstrates that this
is palpable nonsense. And the
payoff Is the conclusion that
Tito is another bit of evidence
that YugoslaVia is fortunate in
its leadership. One supposes that
the cynicism of Tito during the
Partisan days. the liquidation of
Mihailovic. the persecution of
Cardinal Stepinac and the. Ca
tholic and Orthodox Churches,
the repression of every form of
civil and personal liberty, all
form part of the pattern that
makes Tito one of the more en-
gaging specimens of contempor-
airy humanity.

SEA
SECRETS
O. How many rows of teeth h

q. How many rows OF teeth has
a shark?
A. A shark produces a new row
of teeth whenever one is needed.
Behind the row of teeth in current
use are several other rows in
various stages of development. AS
teeth wear out, new ones come for
ward to replace them. Shark teeth
are modified scales and the con-
struction of the teeth and the
scales of shark are basically
similar. The roughnesS of a sharks
skin, which enables it to be used
for an abrasive (shagreen), is due
to projection or spine on each
scale, corresponding to the tooth.
Shark skin which is used for leath-
er must have these Spines scraped
off before it can be used for shoes
or purses.
@. Which of the marine turtles
is used to produce ornamental
shell?
A. This is the beautiful hawks
bill turtle (Eretmochelys imbri-
cota). This handsome animal is
fished in some Caribbean islands
for its shell, which is used in the
manufacture of toilet articles and
similar objects. The "scutes" or
segments of the shell of the hawks
bill turtle overlap, unlike that of
other sea turtles, whose scutes
join together like pieces of a jig
saw puzzle. The green turtle is
more valued as food than the
hawksbill.
@. Is a dolphin a fish or man.
NAL?
A. Both. A member of the por
poise family is called dolphin,
while one of the most beautiful
and interesting of Florida's fishes
goes by this name. The dolphin
(Coryphaena hippurus) can change
its color with remarkable swift
ness, and beautiful hues of laven-
der, green, purple, and yellow
chase each other across the fish
while it is alive, particularly i'm
mediately after it is landed. Dol
phin appear to travel in pairs at
times and frequently when one
fish is hooked its mate will swim
around the boat, apparently griev-
ing, and can often be caught. In
addition to providing exciting
sport, the dolphin is an excellent
food fish.
@. Has Florida a Department
of Fisheries, or Marine Fish
cries Research Agency, such as
many other states possess?
A. The Board of Conservation
is the state agency responsible
for the welfare of the marine
fisheries of Florida. This Board
has no research unit but con-
tracts with the Marine Labora-
tory of the University of Miami
to carry out scientific investiga-
tons on the marine fisheries of
the state. The Marine Labora-
tory has had this responsibility
for the past eight years. 1t has
worked on such diverse prob
lens as the RED Tide" "black
spot" on shrimp, mullet life his
tory, and sailfish migrations. The
Laboratory plans expanded re-
search on Florida's marine fish
cries, particularly in the fields
of economics and sport fishing.
