Bishop Warns
Against Red
Union Leaders

SILVER CITY, Nm. - A warn
ing against membership in a union
whose leadership and ultimate
aims are communistic' was again
given to mine workers here by
their Bishop-this time by radio
after union leaders had refused to
let the Prelate give his views at a
union assembly.
Bishop Sidney NJ. Metzger of
FL Paso told the miners that IF
they have been deceived and now
actually belong to such tcom-
munist-led) union they have ser
ious obligation owed to God and
country to disaffiliate and join an
other sound and decent union of
their own choice" "
Events here clearly indicated that
the Bishop was referring to the
United Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers union which has been in
volved in labor strife here and
whose local leaders have accused
the Bishop of being "anti-labor.
Bishop Metzger emphasized that
it is mot our purpose to interfere
in an industrial dispute between
employer and worker g.. There has
been no expression of preference
on our part Of one labor union over
another nor do We suggest which
labor union the workingmen should
join.
But it is our sole and express
purpose TO warn our workingmen
that they must not Join union
whose leadership and ultimate
aims are communistie. "
The Bishop said it is matter of
duty to speak out openly" on the
union situation because ''our gov
ernment has made a thorough in
vestigation and proof of actual
communist affiliation or at least
the acceptance of communist teach
ing is officially attested by public
record"

One-Time Contributor
Racks Up Record OF
II Years OF Writing

A correspondent who contribut-
ed jokes and puzzles to the youth
column published mere n years
ago in the Catholic Columbian, the
forerunner of The Catholic Times,
is still exercising his wit in St.
Louis, Mo.
He is Father Laurence Kenny,
81, who when he was born on a
farm near Zaleski, Ohio, was bap-
tized Immediately because he was
so delicate. That was SO years ago
when President Abraham Lin
coin was scanning maps to keep
up with the Union troop move
ments in the Civil War.
Now, Father Kenny is stationed
at St Louis University, having
spent 20 years in the Society of
Jesus and nearly "a years as a
priest.
A scholar of American Catholic
history, Father wrote to The Ca
tholic Times recently on the sub
ject of 0hio's name.
He thought, and rightfully so,
that as Ohioans celebrated the Ses-
quicentennial they should know
that their states name (meaning
beautiful river) was first written
by Saint Isaac Jogues, the French
Jesuit who was martyred by the
Iroquois.
Speak of the word Ohio with
reverence, Father Kenny wrote, be-
cause 1T is consecrated name"
While Father Kenny undoubted-
ly would prefer that this article
deal at length with his historical
proofs, his own history is too color
full to be overlooked.
For the priest is one of the few
men who can relate that he was
born in the Lincoln era and who
vividly remembers his grandfather
who was a lad of Is when George
Washington passed away.
Oct. u, 1864, the day he was
born, Father Kenny writes, my
father Thomas Kenny was in Nc
Arthur, the county seat. paying
$500 in gold to be exempted from
service in the Union Army" "a
common custom which was consid-
cred quite proper in those times)
He also remembers going to
Mass in the new St Sylvester's in
ZaleSki, one of the first Catholic
churches in what is now the Co
lumbus Diocese. and recalls submit
ting material to the youth column
in the Catholic Columbian when
he was IL years old.
Big Shot
Father Kenny said he was proud
to see his voluntary contributions
in print, and that his playmates
considered him a big shot.
He also remembers his first Ho-
ly Communion in 1876 and the day
of his Confirmation in 1877, when

Throughout the Revolution. Ca

patriotism to such an extent that
years later, President Washington
was to write them:

British Bill
WouldLegalize
AbOrtiOns

LONI )N-(NC)-A Bill to legal.
ize abortion has been introduced
with the support of some sections
of the medical and secular press.
1t has still TO be debated in Parlia-
ment, but its proposals differ only
slightly from those in a previous
kill-the-baby Bill which was block
ed last year after protests from
Catholics and non-Catholics.
The new Bill, sponsored by Lord
Amulree, a doctor, would amend
a section of the Offenses Against
the Person Act of 1861 which
makes it a crime to administer
drugs or use instruments to pro
cure abortion.
N is now proposed that no reg
istered medical practitioner be
found guilty under this act Un-
less il is proved that he assisted
the abortion for other reasons
than TO preserve the life of the
mother. The Bill also proposed
that no doctor Who proeur-
es an abortion with the con-
curing opinion of second
doctor is to be be convicted
unless it is proved that the act
was not done TO prevent injury
10 the body or health of the
mother.
A court would be allowed to de
eide whether a deliberate miscar-
riage was justified by danger to
the health alone-not only to the
life-of the mother.
His Eminence Bernard Cardinal
Griffin, Archbishop of Westmins
ter, described the first Bill as an
attempt to legalize the direct kill
ing of the innocent unborn" BY

why?"

The Pontiff reminded fhs
sick that they had probably sin
ned at times thereby nerifing
eternal punishment and yet they
were still living: Even if Christ
were Furnishing them for their

His Holiness also called the at.
tention Of the sick and suffering
to the thousands of wonderful
souls who have accepted and even
desired suffering so that they
thereby might join in Christ's suf-
ferings for sinners.
The message, usually given by
the Pope each year at this time,
made no reference to the Pope's
own illness though some hearers
noted in his voice what seemed
TO be deep sympathy with the
worlds sick such as only the sick
can give. Last year the Pope was
