Despite 2l-MOnth Ordeal
Priest Steadfastly Refuses To
SIGN Communist Confessions

HONG KONG - (NC) - In spite
of 21 months of solitary confine-
ment, daily grueling by seven diff
ferent judges, days upon end with
out seeing the sun, and constant
cajoling and threats, 46-year-old
Hungarian priest steadfastly re,
fused to sign the communiSt-pre'
pared confessions.
This was revealed as the priest,
Father John Havas, 81, was inter
viewed here upon his release from
Red China prison and custer
from the country.
When first arrested, a rough
young interrogator and a refined
middle-aged woman tried alternate
ly by abusive cursing and honeyed
cajoling to get the priest to admit
that he was an international spy.
When these efforts failed, he was
stripped of all his possessions ex-
cept the clothes he was wearing
and placed in solitary confine-
ment.
Each day he was brought before
different judge for questioning.
The judge was enthroned high
above him and the priest was lock
ed in a very low chair facing the
Judge. For two months he refused
to- answer any questions at all.
When later he did speak, he mere
iy replied:
"If am guilty, and you Judge
me so, you may punish me. But
as for me, ! neither admit your
accusations nor will sign your
confessions that you have writ
ten. They are not written by
me and they would not be signed
freely but under pressure.
One judge was so angered by
these words that he came down to
the prisoner locked in the chair
and with soldiers on each side OF
him tried by force to make Father
Havas sign, but in vain.
Father Havas reported that there
were $4,000 people in the same
Shanghai prison with him. Some
times, he said, Is people were
jammed into a cell 9 #. by 5 fl.

he would only confess to being an

On May 13 he was told to take
his luggage and go to the first floor

were the priests crimes. When Fa-
ther Havas was asked to sign, he
laughed at the officer and said:

The priest looked off into

led Father Havas into another
room, gave him his baggage and
put him in the curtained limousine
which took him to the train.

Mrs. Ivan c. Pusecksr Of Holy
Rosary parish, Columbus, puts
finishing touches TO some of the
unique Marian shrines she has
fashioned out OF fixl-bowis and
old-fsshioned candy Jars. She
demonstrates that Marian shrines
need not be complicated struc-
lures TO serve their purpose, that
is TO foster devotion for the
Mother Of God.
The construction of Marian
shrines for the home or yard is
becoming favorite Marian Year
project for many Catholics.
Some of these shrines are elab-
orate, requiring the knowledge and
skill of professional engineers,
contractors. builders, etc. Others
are relatively simple in design yet
just as effective for the purpose
for which they are made, that is,
to foster devotion for the Mother
of God.
Mrs. Ivan E. Pusecker of Holy
Rosary parish, Columbus, has been
interested in Marian shrines for
the home for a number of years
now. During the Marian Year. how
ever, her interest was stepped up
and she has made more than two
dozen such shrines for friends and
relatives.
They are simple and attractive
enough so as to hold a universal
appeal.
Mrs. Pusecker uses a large glass
bowl, such as an old-fashioned can.
dy jar or fish-bowl (cost from
.95 TO ZOO into which she places
little earth, pebbles, moss and
plants. The plants she has found
most suitable for the purpose are
juniper berries, ivy and spotted
wintergreen. She places a small
statue of Our Lady into this set
ting, adds a little water and theE
seals the top of the jar.
The tighter the jar or bowl i:
sealed, the better. Nature will see
that a balance is maintained be
tween the water, earth and plants
so that the shrine will retain its
freshness for a period of several
years or longer.
According to Mrs. Puseeker
"Our Lady will smile her grace
and blessing on your home"
AS we talked with Mrs. Pusecker
about her hobby, we soon discover
ed that this was just one of the
busy woman's interests.
The mother of five children, two
of whom are still in school, Mrs
Pusecker's first interest is, OF
course, her home.
She finds time, however, to de.
vote TO many worthwhile interests
other than her home. She is Den
Mother for Den No. /, Pack pa oi

ber of PCCW and PTA groups.

"Duckpins must be a fascin-

yesterday, ''or else all these
people wouldn't be playing it."
To some tenpinners, that's
heresy! So it would seem to one
of 'em anyway, who writes: "As
a tenpin bowler. it is a welcome
relief to find a Washington
sports writer who is attempting
to break through the barrier
the Greater Washington Duck
pin Association has built around
bowling in this area"
Quickly, we disclairn any such
intention. To this guy, a bowler
is bowler, let the pins fall
where they may. That, too, is
the thought of duckpin shooters,
by and large, as we know them.
Only recently. Carl Baudu, an
outstanding duckpin executive,

of taking another crack at ten

Hickey Thinks Talk
or 1O-club Leagues
Is Sill Premature
By shs Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, Nov. IS. =
Branch Hickey isn't too dis
turbed over talk about the Ma
tional and American Leagues
expanding to the West Coast.
"I'ye said It before. and there
has been nothing to change my
opinion" the Pirates general
manager said. Neither Los
Angeles nor San Francisco has
q ball park large enough to ac-
commodate crowds of major
league proportions. They have
voted a bond issue in San Fran
cisco and there is no question
that when the park-which is
expected to seat $4,000 people
is completed, several clubs will
be interested in moving there.
I'VE in the National League
have 1t in the constitution that
we can expand to 10 teams, and
the American League has the
same provision.
'But there are things to
think about. The schedule, the
expense in travelling and a diff
ferent sharing of the gate re-
ceipts are among them.
Right now some Of the clubs
have trouble meeting financial
obligations with n home games.
Think what would happen If
we played Sc, which would be
the case with a lO-team league?
Instead Of a eighth split it
would be one.tenth.
Los Angeles has no place to
play big-league ball, and
haven't heard they plan a large
building program as they have
In San Francisco.
There are other things to
think about on the coast, too.
Transportation facilities in
Los Angeles are poor. There
are no public conveyances, their
fans have to drive to the park
and at that. parking space is
limited. You need a lot of
acreage to handle parking for
a stadium that seats $4,000 fans.
Il don't believe there is any
immediate worry about either
league expanding to 10 teams or
going to San Francisco.
1T will come about some day,
but there is no immediate WORRY. i"

said yesterday.
Trautnaan, president of the
National Association of Profess

minor league attendance fell OF
nearly 6 per cent in 1854.
Trautmarl said he viewed the
minor league future with opti-
mism tinged with some concern.
He expects to start the 1865 sea-
son with 33 or more circuits.
Factors contributing to the de-
cline, he said. included the Ko-
rean War which took many play
ers, adverse weather early In the
season and "saturation" Of minor
league areas with major league
radio and television broadcasts.
Legislation to be presented
at the minor league meeting in
Houston late this month and in
early December could prove a big
help to the minors If adopted
there and by the major leagues"
Trautman said.
Among the amendments to
be considered are several to
curtail radio and television
broadcasts of major league
games and to provide added
financial assistance to farm clubs
and to teams which have
optioned players"
Paid attendance for the 33
circuits which finished the season
