WASHINGTON. DC. - NC
Secretary of Labor Martin P. Dur
kin hailed German and Czech
workers rebellions" as timely ev-
idence to add to the international
Labor Organization report on fore
ed labor in Red dominated coun-
tries.
Calling the report lone of the
most significant documents of our
time" Mr.. Durkin noted that its
release conceded with the anti
communist outbreaks in Berlin,
East Germany, and Czechoslovakia.
In statement issued by the De.
partment of Labor, he commented:
Many interpretations have been
put upon these outbreaks. To me
there is only one Interpretation.
That is, that the workers-note
carefully that these were workers,
and not bourgeoisie or capitalist
warmongers' - the workerS were
rebelling against enslavement by
their communist masters"
Mr.. Durkin said that one thing
ito be asked and re-asked' of com.
munist rulers is free elections for
the workers.

lescent groups"
Occasion OF Sin
Earlier, the picture mad been de-
nounced by His Eminence Francis
Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of
New York, as an occasion of sin"
which violates seriously Standards
of morality and decency" The Car
dinal reminded Catholics of their
obligation to avoid seeing it.
A letter from the Cardinal ex-
pressing his views on the film was
read at all Masses in churches of
the archdiocese. The film, produc-
ed by Otto Preminger. was releas-
ed by United Artists.
Because the picture bears a Sc
rious potential influence for evil, /"
the Cardinals letter said, 'espe-
cially endangering our youth,
tempting them to entertain ideas
conflicting with the moral law, in
citing to juvenile delinquency,
am gravely concerned about its
presentation"
The Cardinal said he was also
concerned because of the circum-
stances surrounding the production
and release of the movie.
This picture" Cardinal Spell
man said, was avowedly produced
in defiance of the system of self
regulation which the motion pic
ture industry itself has maintained
for more than two decades. The
presentation of the picture is not
only in defiance of Industry Code
regulations, but is also a challenge
to prove, if possible, that these reg
ulations established by the indus
try itself, may be defied with i'm
punity.

Msgr. Glenn
Defines Faith
In First Talk

What is faith?" Monsignor Paul
J. Glenn, rector of st. Charles
Seminary, began the first of his
radio talks on the Catholic Hour
last Sunday afternoon fWLW, 3
o'clock with this question, and
went on to answer with these
words:
1T is not a childish acceptance
OF anything anybody tells II is not
gulllbility. 1t is not blindly loyal
adherence to the word of someone
we have decided to follow or sup
port. Faith, to be worthy of its
great name, is the accepting of
truth on authentic and reliable
testimony"
The noted author and lecturer,
in his sermon, 1.-The Faith and the
World We Live In" went on to
distinguish between the human
faith we place in a mans word and
the divine faith on which we take
Gods word. AS far as human faith
goes, Monsignor Glenn pointed out
that we need to know two things
about the person giving the evi-
dence. First that he is not lying,
and secondly. that he knows what
he is talking about
"As for ourselves" he continued,
1--WE need to know that we have
clearly graSped, that we have ex-
actly understood, just what this in
formed and honest person has said.
Thus, if we know that a speaker or
writer is a teller of truth, not a
deceiver, if we know that we UNI
derstand him, we rightly consider
him a reliable witness, and accept
his testimony as sound"
Monsignor Glenn pointed out
that the world loves to talk about
science, but it is a little dubious
about faith. He explained that this
should not be so, since the world
would find, if it took stock of its
information, that nearly all of il is
accepted on faith.
"All human history, for ex-
ample he continued, lis matter
of sheer faith. The events of past
ages cannot be made to happen
over again for our scientific in
vestigation. That they happened
at all, we know by the word of his
torians, and by the concrete word
of witnesses long dead-a word ex-
pressed in buildings, monuments,
inscriptions, coins and other OBJ
jects.
I'VE test the knowledge and hon
esty of historians by comparing
reports, by gathering a variety OF
witnesses, by considering tempo
rary facts and circumstances other
than those reported, by noting an
tecedents and consequences, and

UN Group Declares Russia,
3 Satellites Use Slave Labor

GENEVA-(NC)-A United Ma

Soviet Russia and three of its sat
elites use slave labor to gain po-
litical and economic ends, thus
violating the United Nations Char
ter.

labor "in its fullest form and in
the form which most endangers

that Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia and

litical purposes. In addition, it
said that in four other countries
