Hungary's world champion
table tennis teams, winners
over contenders from 81 other
countries. In the past, he
has copped IL championships
in United States national
tournaments. Recently, he
won the Capital Open cham
pionShip over Sol Schiff, six
time national singles and
doubles champ.
Mr.. Hazi was instrumental
in forming the club. He
would like to see the sport
create the enthusiasm here
that it does in his native
Hungary, where it has promi-
nence comparable to our base
ball and football.
He owes his American citi-
zenship to table tennis. When
Hitler invaded Poland in
1889, he and his wife, the
former Magda Gal, also a
former worlds champion in
that sport, now retired, were
on a six-month exhibition
tour in the United States.
They had just finished win
ming the mixed doubles at the
National Open tournament
in Toledo, Ohio, where he also
had won the mems doubles.
I'VE wanted to become per-
manent citizens" Mr.. Hazi
recalls, land the United
States Table Tennis AsSocia-
ton initiated a move to grant
us citizenship" Some 10000
letters were sent to Congress
by persons who had seen
them play. A special bill
granting them citizenship
was passed on November 81,

president, James Verta. "You

To many people, the ping

than a standard piece Of

Roosevelt.
The Hazis have lived here
since 1912. They have won
more than 1000 champion
ships, represented by the
trophies that decorate their
home at GAIT Farrell drive,
Chevy Chase, Md.
The weaker sex can show
the men a thing or two when
it comes to ping-pong. Mrs.
Julia Rutehonis, District
women's table tennis cham
pion, can whip half the men
in the club. A Lithuanian by
birth, she was a displaced
person in the French zone of
Germany before coming to
this country four years ago.
Known for a powerful fore
hand drive, the attractive,
3O-year-old brunette was
champion Of Lthuania, Lat
via and Estonia. She lives at
4021 Thirty-third street,
Mount Rainier, Md, with her
husband Vytautas and their
son John, 13.
With an accent on youth,
the club is molding 15-year-
old Eddie Record for the fu-
ture role Of a national
champ. Eddie, the youngest
club member, won the Capital
Open junior title over boys
from Washington. New York
and Philadelphia.
The youth, who lives at sol
Boyd avenue, Takoma Park,
Nd, has come up under the
careful tutelage Of the club
president. In a year or two
he'll be one Of the top Junior
players in the country" Mr..
Verta predicts.

Reds IndOctrinate
Majority OF Tokyo
Univ. Students

TOKYO - NC) - Three-quar-
ters of the college students in the
Japanese capital are either COM
munists or communist sympathiz-
ers.
This estimate is made by Father
Thomas ]. Prendergast, Maryknoll
missionary from Utica, NY. He
points out that communist agents
can be found indoctrinating stu
dents on the street corners around
every college in the area.
Some of the students receive
money from the Reds to finance
their schooling, which they are ex-
pected to repay by working for the
party when they finish college, Fa-
ther Prendergast said. Students
urged or paid by cell leaders also
take an active part in the frequent
communist parades and riots in
the city.
Because most of the leaders of
Communism in the Far East were
intellectuals who joined the COM
munist ranks while in school," Fa-
ther Prendergast stated, sit is inn
portant for the Church to reach
this student group, the leaders of
tomorrow. Since the majority of
the students will not come to the
Church, this means that the priests
must go to them, right into the
colleges, to establish discussion
clubs and youth organizations"

LIBRARY NOTES
Washington Biography
4 Treasure For All
From fhs Department OF Library Science
College Of 81. Mary Of the Springs

George Washington, by Clara
Ingram JudSon; Wilcox and Follett
Co., New York, 1851, $3.50.
This biography of Washington,
the real boy, relating his interest
and zest for adventure will prove
both entertaining and informative
for anyone ten years of age or old
er. 1t is an appealing story that
will be read and re-read for years
to come. Portraying Washington as
a pupil of Reverend Marye's, as a
young surveyor, the commander,
the president, and the man who
loved his country as dearly as he
loved his home and family, this
book will occupy an important po-
sition on any library shelf. The
line drawings, maps, and colored
pictures are not only well done but
instructive as well. A real must
for every home with or without
children. MS.
The Story of People, by May

are different from those in other

parts? In this fascinating anthro-
pology for young people May Edel
relates the conclusions she has
drawn from her study of the phySi-
cal characteristics, living condi-
tions, and customs of various
groups of people. Throughout the
book, she stresses the fact that all
men are essentially the same and
that there is no superior or inferi-
or race. This book would be
fascinating to a child interested in
the topic. Although the authors
style is readable, not many other
children would care to read the
entire book although they would
find parts of it very interesting.
P.J.
Before Go To Sleep, by Enid
Blyton; Little, Brown and Co., Bos-
ton, 1858. $3.50.
Children are by nature very de-
vout and sincere, but every child
needs to have his morals and ideals
guided and formed by a mature
hand. In Before l Go To Sleep,
a book of Bible stories adapted to
the minds of young children and
prayers worded in a way that will
encourage their sincerity and de
votion, Mrs. Blyton seems to offer
just such a guide to her youthful
following. Although the book in
cludes the Protestant version of
1.-The Lords Prayer" Before | Go
To Sleep is Catholic in its attitude
and intent. 1t should appeal to
children in the lower grades, and
help them to grow closer to God.

What Bird Is Ii, by Anna Pistori-
us; Wilcox and Follett CO., Chi
cago, 1945.
Some of your best friends are
birds. Do you know their names?
The author of this educational
book for bird-lovers presents some
interesting facts about twenty-three
birds, with which we should be fa-
miliar, and their distinctive hab-
its. Adults as well as children will
marvel at the things birds can do
by their instructive powers. Each
page of the attractive book is de-
voted to one particular bird. An
enriching feature is the brightly
colored illustrations which are as
valuable as the reading material.

allowed to divide the country"
Half of the people approve free
transportation for private school
pupils, the article stated. "and to
them it obviously seems rather
foolish to pick up the public-school
children at one house and pass up
the other school children next
door Perhaps they feel that the
present policy is bad for both
groups, since it cannot help but
cause enmity between them"
The Digest said it was encour-
aging that the nation has at least
made some strides in establishing
released-time systems and that,
as result, the division among the
people on this problem is not as
sharp.

lalen and one unidentified artist.

st. Paul, Minn.-(NC)-Almost
half the people in the US. think
private denominational schools are
good for the nation, a Catholic Di-
gest survey has revealed.
Forty-two per cent or over 43
million people throughout the
country told pollsters they thought
private religious schools-includ-
iEg Catholic parochial schools -
benefit America.
But Is per cent think such
schools are bad, 81 per cent have
no opinion, and IL per cent quail
fled their answers, the Digest re-
ported in its March issue.
"Those who believe in private
schools have a gigantic task before
them" the Magazine stated. "To
convince sixteen and a half million
people that private schools are not
what they think they are"
The country is almost evenly
divided on whether public funds
should be used to give free bus
service and free books to children
in religious schools. There is an
other $3.50 split on whether public
taxes should be used to support the
religious schools.
On the bus service problem those
who approve have a ten per cent
edge; on the tax support question
those who disapprove are in the
majority by nine per cent.
The released-time plan for relig-
ious education of public school
children is favored by 54 per cent
of Americans, the survey reports.

cluded a comment that sit is a
