Presbyterians Move
To Reunite Church
In North and South
BY the Assoeioted Press

MONTREAL, N. c., June 10
Presbyterians of the North and
South today apparently were
closer to reunion than at any
time since the church split as a
result Of the Civil War.
The General Assembly Of the
Presbyterian Church (Southern)
yesterday approved for study by
its "a presbyteries a plan to join
with the Presbyterian Church,
U. S. A. (Northern). The re-
union plan also would include
the United Presbyterian Church.
DR.. Frank w. Price of Rich
mond. Va, moderator Of the
Southern church, said today the
aSSembly's unanimous action on
the reunion issue gives assur-
ance that the church will strive
to move forward as one church"
Fears Of a split within the de-
nomination over the issue "have
been reduced" the moderator
said.
Approved by North.
The Northern church already
has approved the plan and sent
it to its 257 presbyteries for a
vote. The United church has in
dicated it will study the matter
for another year before taking
action.
The merger could not be ac-
tually accomplished until 1856.
It would bring together approx
mately 3.5 million PreSbyterianS
into one church body.
DR.. Price said the union plan,
worked out by committees from
the three churches, will be care
fully studied and thoroughly de-
bated during the coming year."
Next years general assembly will
decide whether the plan, revised
to meet objections which may
come up during the year of dis
cussion, will 60 back to the pres
byterieS for q vote.
Three-fourths of the presby-
teries and another general as
sembly must approve the plan
before it becomes effective.
Policy Spelled Out.
! During the six-day meeting
which ended yesterday. the as
sembly spelled out a policy tying
local church property to the
higher church bodies. A COM
mittee which considered the is
sues said it considered the decla-
ration a staement of principles
already in church laws.
| The assembly also sent down
to the Presbyteries for approval
proposed changes in rules COW
ering divorce and marriage. They
would give ministers more lee
way in deciding if divorced per-
sons can be remarked in the
church.
It also sidestepped the issue
of racial segregation in churches
and church schools by sending to
it's council on Christian relations
for study and recommendation
a proposal to end racial discrim-
ination at all church levels.

Father Francis Maertens, 49,
year-old Immaculate Heart of Mary

among the nomadic Mongols before
the Reds moved in He had a
church at Bolo- Balajason deep in

British Cardinal
Assures CZechs
OF Prayer, Help

LONDON (NC)-A message of
sympathy and encouragement to
the Catholics of Cechoslovakia was
sounded here by His Eminence
Bernard Cardinal Griffin, Arch
bishop of Westminster, on the
fifth anniversary of the communist
seizure of that country.
Because the Church suffers per-
Secution, it need not be imagined
that it is forgotten by the lovers of
democracy in other parts of the
world" Cardinal Griffin declared
in his message, which was relayed
through the Information Service of
Free CzechoSloyakia in London.
"The Catholics of Czechoslovakia
and all those in that unfortunate
country now under the heel of COM
munism are not forgotten IN our
prayers and our endeavors for
peace and freedom"
Declaring that II is Increasingly
realized that the main bUlwsrk
against communism in Eastern Eu.
rope is the Catholic Church. eardi-
nal Griffin said that "fhe suppress
sion of the Church and its leaders
by direct persecution is regular
and important part OF the process
by which communism secures con-
troll of the State "
Cardinal Griffin said 1t was
noticeable" that Archbishop Josef
Beran OF Prague, who has been
banished from his See by the Com
munist regime, had never been
tried. He said the reason was that
it would be difficult to try as an
enemy OF the State "a hero who
was awarded the highest honorS by
his native land only few years
ago"
Il have personal and happy
memories of meeting Archbishop
Beran before the communist coup,
the Cardinal said. He was man
of faith and of courage, and his
enforced silence is an eloquent
appeal for our prayers. We pray
for him and for all the priests, nuns
and laity now suffering perse.
cution. We pray that the seourge
of persecution may soon be lifted
from Czechoslovakia, and that
Almighty God may give strength
to you all in your time of trial.

1t will be opera ed by Sisters Of

The civic and religious leaders
of an area predominantly non-Cath-
olic showed q magnificent spirit in
offering, as a gift without any con-
ditions attached, this hospital to a
Catholic Bishop and Sisters" Bish-
op Greco said
There is no Catholic church in
this town of 1000. The hospital
chapel will be the only center of
Catholic worship
The Legion Post of Newellton

To eliminate Father Maertens
the Reds accused him of poisoning
communist officials. But this ac-
cusation was obviously ridiculous
since no Red official had died of
poisoning. So they changed the
accucation TO an attempt to poison
the Reds and threw him into prison
without trial.
Father Maertens brought to pris-
on some hosts and wine to offer
Mass. But these supplies we're soon
used up and he looked for a way
to replenish them.
He watched one night until the
guard had passed the door. of his
crude prison. Then he slipped out
and quickly vaulted the prison
wall. He scrambled on all fours
through herd of sheep and finally
reached the wall of the city where
his church was.
He climbed the wall and was
about to let himself down the in
side when he was detected by a
guard. The priest pretended to
jump off 10 the outer side but in
reality he hung by his hands until
the guard had gone off
He let himself down the inside
wall and hurried to the church for
more wine and hosts. He returned
to the prison, and at daylight the
guard found him sleeping in his
cell.
After ten months in Jail Father
Maertens was summoned before
the Red chief
"You are being expelled" he
said.
"What is my crime" the priest
inquired.
"Why did you come to China?"
the Red official asked
Il came 10 teach the Chinese
people about God. Jesus Christ and
His Church >
"That is your crime" the Red
replied. 60"

Polish Catholics Faith Strong
Despite Persecution By Reds

LONDON - NC - The faith of
the Polish people is stronger than
ever after eight years of commun-
ist suppression, Joseph Werner, a
recent refugee from behind the
Iron Curtain, declared here.
However he warned a Polish
Catholic meeting that when the
first young generations educated
along communist tines enter life in
about five wears time the situation
may be much less satisfactory"
Mr.. Werner, a lawyer, speaking
with absolute conviction" had
this to say about the situation in
Poland today:
THE churches in the whole of
Poland are filled to overflowing
at every Mass. Enormous numbers
of the faithful receive the Sacra-
ments. Missions and retreats have
been attended since the war by
great numbers of people in many
hundreds of parishes Corpus
Christi processions-the only ones
permitted to take long routes
through built-up areas--bring to-
gether multitudes of the faithful.
Virtually no children remain
unbaptized. Purely civil marriages
are very rare The enormous ma
jority of those whit enter the bonds
of Holy Matrimony go straight
from the registrars office to re-
ceive the Sacrament in their
church. Even the more or less will
ing members of the Communist
Party, and members of the police
and the armed forces, who are ex-
pected to conform to the party line
as a matter of course arrange for
a Catholic marriage-though with
great discretion, so as not to at
tract the attention of their com
munist chiefs"

Vacations Increase

Mr.. Werner said that one re-
markable aspect cf the present sit
uation is that despite the threat
of open and inrense persecution
which looms over the country, vo-
cations to the priesthood are in
creasing. He described the nation S
religious life as more intense than
during the German occupation,
when the threat OF imminent
death made people more concerned
with life hereafter.
"This attitude continues under
present conditions which are vir-
tually as terrible as an alien occu-
patton" MIR Werner said. 1.-THE
communists, avoiding frontal at
tack for fear of repercussions, are
trying to undermine religion grad
ually by atneistic propaganda and
coercion"

WASHINGTON - (NC) - Paul
Bianshard, author, lecturer and
perennial critic OF the Catholic

Mr.. Blanshard IN a five-page pc
tition filed February l6 with the

manded that the Archbishop's pass
port be recalled and he be stripped
of his American citizenship be-
cause by serving as Papal Nuncio
to Ireland, the Archbishop was act
ing as the political representative

sion, made the departments posi-
ton in the matter clear She said:
Il know of no law or regulation
under when a petition of this kind
could be consideLed the basis for

In rejecting the Blanshard de-
mand, the State Department was
guided by the fact that Papal rep
