.MOurns Death
OF British Nun

LONDON - (NC) - One of the
most remarkable nuns of this cen
tury, who held a high literary
court at the grille of her enclos-
ure, has died at the age of 88.
She was Dame Laurentia McLach-
Ian, mitred Abbess since 1882 of
the Benedictino Stanbrook Abbey
in Worcestershire.
Dame Laurentia was a personal
friend of George Bernard Shaw,
G. K. Chesterton and other liter
ary giants and of the great schol-
ars of Oxford. Shaw often discuss
ed his plays with her at the con-
vent grille and often wrote to her.
From the Holy Land he once sent
her a pebble mounted on silver
with a note: Il picked the pebble
up from a path in Nazareth; one
on which His Feet may have
walked" After his death, she told
Catholic journalist: Il am not
worried about his future in eter-
nifty. He was very sincere man. !"
Though an enclosed nun, Dame
Laurentia received a special dis
pensation from Pope Plus XI to
visit and advise other Benedictine
converts on the singing of the
liturgy. She was one of Britain's
greatest liturgiologists and author
tiles on plainsong.

nantly Catholic country may be for
the time being only. II is neverthe-
less of extreme interest TO those
who have long been concerned
over the slow martyrdom of the
Czechoslovak Catholics.
Almost since the beginning of
the Communist seizure in Czecho-
slovakia, a campaign has been un-
der way to weaken and enslave the
Church there. This campaign has
been carried on SO ruthlessly and
in such diverse ways that the
Prague regime has been held up
to the rulers of other Soviet satel-
lites as model to be followed in
crushing the arch-enemy of atheis-
tic communism.
cxeehosiovskia Weak
Political expediency may under
lie the present "truce" in the anti
Church war. 1t is no secret that
the position of Prague at pres
ent is the least secure OF all the
Peoples Democracies in East Eu-
rope. Since the death of President
Klement Gottwald last March,
there has been no first-rate com
munist leader in the country. Also
significant is the fact that there
are no Soviet troops in the coun-
try, while across the border there
are Americans, who, in case of
revolt inside Czechoslovakia, might
be expected to lend assistance to
the foes of Red tyranny.
Meanwhile, rumblingS of inter
nal discomfort have given the
Prague rulers other things to wor-
ry about besides its war on re-
ligion. Sporadic strikes, widescaIe
absenteeism, discomfort over the
recent monetary reform, and over
food and other shortages, may well
have prompted the decision to min
imize tension at least TO the ex-
tent of ceasing to offend the re-
ligious loyalties OF the majority OF
the people.

Emphatic Denial
Fir. O'Brien denied emphatically
that the telegram had anything to
do with partisan politics or was
to minimize the danger of COM
munism.
Referring to suggestions that
the N.C.C.J. telegram was "a piece
of partisan politics" or "a sort of
trap into which we were tricked, ,
Father 0'Brien said that the presi-
dent of the National Confer

him that 1.-The idea originated

is Catholic co-chairman.

upon the historically restless ma

to lose. In such speculation, thus,
it must be conceded that many
