is to encourage European labor:

of its attention on productivity

of collective bargaining over the
fruits of this productivity, - to

INQUIRY CORNER

Q. What are the Congrega-
tons Of the Catholic Church?
A The Holy Father has various
groups of churchmen to assist
him in his office as Head of the
Church. These various bodies
make up the Roman Curia. which,
reorganized by Blessed Plus X,
consists of twelve Congregations,
three Tribunals and five Offices.
The twelve Congregations are:
the Holy Office, ConsiStorisl Cons
gregation, that for the Oriental
Church, for the Sacraments, of
the Council, of Religious, for the
Propagation of the Faith, of
Rites, of Ceremonies, of Extraor-
dinary Ecclesiastical Affairs, of
Seminaries and Universities and
of the Basilica of st. Peter.
Q. Does the Church approve
freedom of speech for teachers
e. q. atheists?
A, The Church fully approves
freedom of speech for everyone.
Freedom of speech, however,
does not include freedom to
destroy the foundations of
society It is commonly overlook
ed today that teachers are mere
ly delegated by the parents to
teach their children, and they
must not impose their own moral
and philosophical views upon the
innocent. In his Encyclical on
Christian Education of Youth
Pope Plus XI pointed out: I'm
this work the teacher, whether
private or public, has no absolute
right of his own, but only such as
has been communicated to him
by others. And whoever dis
turbS the pupils faith in any
way, does him grave wrong, mas
much as he abuses the trust
which children place in their
teachers, and take unfair advant-
age of their inexperience and of
their natural craving for unres-
trained liberty, at once illusory
and false"
Q. What is q patriarch
A. In the Old Testament the
title refers to the founder of a
family, tribe or race. In Chris
tian times it as an honorary title
given TO certain bishops, espe-
cially those of Rome, CONSTANT
nople, Alexandria, Antioch and
Jerusalem. There are patriarchs
of the different rites in the ORR
ent (e.g. Armenian, ChaIdean,
Malchite and Maronite) and mi
nor patriarchs (e.g. Venice, Lis
bon)
Q. What is the "chdir" of st.

tlons as Great Britain and
France The fact that Russian
expansion was overland, that the
central authority was not sep
arated from the colonies by sea,
does not make Russia any less
a colonizing and colonial state
in the ordinary l9th-century &C
ceptance of the word.
Most readers have vague no
ton that 10 the east of Moscow
is to be found a vast conglom-
crate of states and peoples, all
bound together IN the thing call
cd the Soviet Union. In the old
days, when fellow travellers we're
not subject TO scrutiny and
praise of the Soviet Union was
equivalent TO a profession of
faith in democracy, we were in
undated with a considerable lit
erature depicting the blessed
state of the peasantry in such
outlandish places as Uzbekistan,
Kazak X hstan Kirghiztan and
Turkmenistan. Soviet propagan-
da laid particular stress on the
liquidation of illiteracy as we'll
rs the new culture which, under
MoscoW's benevolent influence,
was developing N these remote
corners of the globe. Neverthe-
less these areas we're, and are, in
the strictest sense, Russian colo
nies. 1t is, perhaps, opportune
that competent book be devot-
ed to the myth of Soviet enlight-
enment among non-Russian peo-
pie.
Gigantic Hoax
The allegedly generous treat
ment of national minorities has
long constituted one of the for
mldable legends regarding the
USSR. The recent anti-Semitic
outbreaks may start revision
of this notion. The present book,
inspired exclusively in Soviet
sources and producing innumer-
able documents and reports,
tends to take the glitter off the
standard thesis about Soviet lib
eralism vis-a-vis the colonies. II

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Mar. 18.-

cases.
He said he is having a bill

The Baltimore City Senator

Grammer a new trial for the
murder Of his wife. but the
judges frowned on publicity be-
for his conviction.

an investigation.
Forty ORinawa based Super

against Pungha's 800 wooden
miles of flax and brayed Red
night fighters to reach their
target. The other Is hit Red

It was the first time the Pun

SEOUL. Mar. 18.-Adlai Stew
enson ended a five-day tour of
Korea today and said he was
tremendously impressed with
the infinite difficulties that this
cruel war presents"
II must say I don't know how
long this senseless war will go
on-how long the Chinese, once
the friends Of the Koreans and
the Americans. and most Of all,
the United Nations here engaged,
will continue to bleed and die
for their Russian masters" he
added.
Leaves for Japan.
The 1852 Democratic presi-
Dental nominee left for Japan
after a tour of this war-ravaged
nation, including a trip to the
battlefront where Communist
mortar shells landed within a
few hundred yards of him.
He left in the personal plane
of Gen. Q. P. Weyland, Far East

panied by Ellis Briggs, United

public Of Korea.
Mr.. Stevenson told newsmen
Asia would be "a major con-
Germ" to the United States for
many years. He said his Korean
tour showed him IAN appalling

Ever-present Danger.
Asked if he feels that the
Korean situation increases the
danger of extending the war,
Mr.. Stevenson answered:
I'VE are always confronted
with that danger because we
don't know the enemy's inten-
tion."
After visiting two training
areas for Republic of Korea SOL

Kentucky-Minnesota

Basketball Program
BY the Associotsd Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-No
fewer than II college basketball
tournaments are scheduled across
the country this week, but the
big game is at Lexington. KY,
tonight when Kentucky and
Minnesota battle it out.
Both teams are undefeated and
Kentucky. back in action after
a years inactivity, will be striv-
ing for the No. l spot in the
Nation. Adolph Rupp's Wild
cats have won all six of their
games to date, while Minnesota
has emerged as the surprise of
the Big Ten with seven victories
to show for its seasons work.
Kentucky, rated No. 2 behind
Indiana in the Associated Press
weekly poll. stands a good chance
to take over the top rung If it
makes a good showing, since the
Hoosiers were upset by Oregon
State last week.
Kentucky FavOrite.
Rupp's team, of course, will be
favored as 1t always is and
should win pretty much as it
pleases. Minnesota has looked
extremely good, but the sus-
picion of many experts around
the Big Ten is that the Gophers
are not quite as good as their
record would indicate.
AS for the tournaments, the
big one is the Madison Square
Garden festival. not so much
because it's in the Garden. but
because third-ranked Duquesne
is in it and probably will win.
If the Dukes should take it. they
will be in a good position to
challenge both Indiana and
Kentucky for national honors.
The Dukes, undefeated in
eight games. tackle Brigham

.First-Round Choices
In CIV Tournament
By George Huber

George Washington, winner of
four straight games, and Rich
mond. a loser only to CIV in its
eight games. are favored to win
the opening games in the George
Washington Invitation basket
ball tournament tomorrow night
at Washington-Lee High School
gym in Arlington.
The Colonials meet Virginia
in the windup of a double bill
while Richmond goes against
Virginia Tech, also a CIV victim,
in the 8 pm. opener. Virginia
has lost only to Navy in six
games while VPI shows q IA
record.
In meeting Virginia tomorrow
night, the Colonials face team
sparked by two imports from
West Virginia. Buzz Wilkinson
and Bob Mccarthy. both g.
.foot-2 guards.
Holds Cavalier Record.
Wilkinson, from Pineville, w.
Va. set a season scoring record
for the Cavaliers as sophomore
last year. He shot 521 points for
a 22.7 average, and is far ahead
Of that pace this season. In six
games he has scored 1877 points
Tor a 1913 average. In Virginia's
opening game this year. a 1852
decision over Hampden-Sydney,
he broke the school record for
one game with AZ points.
Mccarthy, a sophomore. had
his best game against Franklin
and Marshall when he accounted
for % points. His Six-game total
is ia points. an average Of 10 a
game.
In addition to Hampden-Syd-
ney and F6SM, the Cavaliers have
beaten Randolph-Macon, Gettys-
burg and Washington and Lee.
Their only stern test was against
Navy at Annapolis where they
lost, 86-75.
Devlin Leads CIV Scoring.
George Washington has top
pied West Virginia, Richmond,
VPI and William and Mary. and
had trouble only in the Richmond
game, trailing for nearly three
periods. The Colonials have a
fine starting lineup and good
bench strength, with Cork Dev-
lin, a 6-foot-5 junior from New
Jersey, the scoring leader with
q 23-point average.
Comparative scores in their
games against CIV leave Rich
mond as a good choice over VPI
in the other opening game. The
Spiders gave the Colonials a real
argument before getting showed
