Slain Bishop
Still Thorn In
Side OF Reds

/ VIENNA-(NC) - Russian and
Hungarian Reds are repeatedly
using arrest and deportation in a
frantic effort to wipe out the men,
ory of the first victim of the com
muniSt Liberation" of Hungary.
He is Bishop Wilmos Apor of
Gyoer, who was shot by Soviet sol
diers in 1945 while trying to pro-
tect young women from rape.
Bishop Apor died April l Easter
Sunday 1945) at the age of SO, two
days after he had been shot three
times by Soviet soldiers. He was
shot at the head of the stairs lead.
ing to the cellar in his residence.
A large number of people had
sought refuge there during the bat
tie between the Soviet and Ger
man troops. The Bishop was shot
in the forehead, right arm and alb
domen when he tried to stop Red
soldiers from dragging off some
screaming girls they had seized in
the cellar. He was taken to a hos
pital and died two days later.
Pictures confiscated
Reports reaching here state that
Hungarian police have recently
completed a search of the homes
of leading Catholic families in the
Gyoer area and have confiscated
all pictures of Bishop Apor.
A Catholic printer, Geyza Far
kas is reported to have been
seized by the NKVD Soviet secret
police agents for having "unlaw-
fully" printed several thousand
copies OF the murdered Bishops
picture. The printer is believed to
have been deported to Siberia.
Six young Hungarian Catholics,
said to have belonged TO the dis
solved Catholic Youth Organiza-
tion. were arrested for having sold
and distributed the Bishops pic
ture.
None OF the people arrested
have received a public trial. the
reports state. Red officials have
reportedly decided against a pub
lie trial because II would only
increase the esteem held for the
murdered Bishop.
other reports state that num-
Der of Catholics in the Gyoer area
were arrested for ailegedly dis
cussing the Bishops fate in public.
Eyswiinesses Disappear
Many eyewitnesses of the actual
shooting OF the Bishop are said to
have disappeared from Gyoer in
the past five years. All the nuns
who had sought refuge in the
Bishops cellar that fateful day
were removed from the city. The
eviction of "class-aliens' a few
years ago forced many other eye
witnesses out of the city.
Priests of the Gyoer diocese
have repeatedly been warned not
to celebrate a memorial Mass for
the Bishop on the ninth anniver-
sary OF his death, coming up is a
few weeks They were warned that
they would offer such Mass lat
grave risk" to themselves.

.Prelate Warns
OF Danger In
New Labor Bill

WASHINGTON - NC) ~ A bill
for recruiting Mexican farm labor
into the us, was passed by Con-
gress over warnings that the action
would endanger U.S.-Latin Ameri-
can relations and that miSmanage-
ment of border problems involves
danger to the souls of thousands of
people and the risk OF communist
infiltration from Mexico
One of the strongest warnings
came in q wire from Archbishop
Robert c. LUesy Of San Antonio,
read in the House OF Representa-.
tives by Rep. John w. Mccormack
OF Massachusetts,. The preIsts said
the bill will enlarge ths injustice"
TO both Mexican and US. workers
and will srsvslY sndsnser our re-
Istions with Mexico and ell Latin
American Republics"
Warnings that 100 Subversives a
day were entering the country IL
legally from Mexico due to mis-
management of border control
were heard in both the House and
Senate. Maintaining that the com.
munists were operating 'one of the
strongest programs of infiltration

Congress for yielding to south

I'm Europe the Vatican shows
itself an instrument of American

writes. "By using its influence with

of bourgeois oppression-the Rom

The long-rapgs aim OF these

informed sources here, is 10 pre-

Dor, or for themselves? Are their
activities rooted in charity and hu-
mility, or in some obscure form of
spiritual pride?
/ believe the Benedictines have
a saying that obedience is better
than charity. This, of course, is a
mere manner of speaking; because
obedience is the highest charity.
The last and greatest thing that
anyone can give up is his own will.
Christ, as man, prayed in a bloody
sweat that if possible the chalice
be taken from Him.
Immediately He added, Never
theless, not My will, but Thine. be
done" Thus He was obedient, even
to the death on the Cross.
In that obedience, He demon
strated love of God and love of
neighbor-whieh is to say, char
ity-in the highest possible de-
gree.
The French priest-workers came
to their Garden of Gethsemane in
the moment when they were di-
rected by the Holy See and by
their bishops to revise their move
ment.
They did not want to revise ii.
They did not want to drink of the
chalice of the surrender Of their
own wills and judgments. They dis
sented in vigorous letter.
Father Jean Beslay, director of
Vatican Radio broadcasts to France,
and himself once missionary to
the workers, responded in q mas
terpiece of fatherly understanding
and good humor.
He pointed out gently and kind
ly, some of the mistakes that had
been made. He congratulated the
priest-workers upon having stated
their position with considerable
force. He said:
Under the blow you have
cried out You have given
voice with energy When
all the emotion of this time has
passed, you will have the salts
faction of knowing that by your
sacrifice, united TO that of Christ
before the cup of bitterness, you
will have done more than any
thing else you could have done
to reconcile the Church and the
working classes"
II is not generally realized that
often it is more difficult for a priest
than for a layman to obey when
he diSagrees.
Priests tend to be individualists.
They are usually men of great
physical and intellectual energy.
Many Of them have very strong
opinions.

Guam Official
VetOes Movie
Censorship Bill

+ AGANA. Guam - tNC)-Guam's s
Governor Ford @. Elvidge has We
toed a bill providing for censor
ship of motion pictures. Il had
been passed by the recent session
of the Guam Legislature with only
two dissenting votes.
In rejecting the measure, Cover
nor Elyidge expressed the belief
that the legislation may be uncon.
stitutional. He said it would be a
serious mistake to enact the law
when the vice can be eliminated
through penal legislation.
/ The Guam Vicariates weekly
newspaper, Umatuna 81 Yuus, in
an editorial, differed with the
Governors views. The paper stated:
"If would seem that the veto
message would suggest that the
prisoner be caught red-handed
after he had done his nefarious
work and then punished by pen
al legislation"
II was explained that the movie
censorship measure would have re-
quired certification of certain films
before they could be shown in the
territory. The measure exempted
from the need of certification NOV
les which bear the Hollywood Pro-
duction Code seal of approval;
films intended solely for educa-
tional, religious or charitable pur-
poses; those used by employers
for instruction of employees, and
movies which treat of scientific
subjects and intended for the
learned professions.
