q. Under tohat circumstances
may priest administer the Sac
rdmenf Of Confirmation?
A. For some years 1t has been
customary for priests to have the
privilege of administering this
Sacrament, ordinarily reserved
to the bishop. In 1947 pastors
everywhere were given the au-
thorization to act as extraordi-
nary ministers of the Sacrament.
This power may be used only for
those within the parish who are
in danger of death from sick
ness, accident or old age. 1t has
been the accepted custom for
priests of the Eastern Rites (of
the Catholic Church) to admin
lister the Sacrament to infants
Immediately after Baptism.
Q. Do ne knoU the punish.
tnents from original sin from the
teaching of the Church Or from
the Bible?
A. The Church has summarized
them but they are pointed out
many times in the Bible. Be-
cause of the sin of Adam we
come into the world without
sanctifying grace and with the
inheritance of death, suffering,
ignorance and a strong inclina.
tion to sin. st. Paul refers to
the chief consequence of Adams
sin, For just as by the dis
obedience of the one man the
many were constituted sinners,
so also by the obedience of the
one the many will be constituted
just" (Romans $40 Through
out the account in Genesis it is
made clear that Gods gifts will
be lost if Adam disobeys, For
in what day soever thou shalt
eat of it, thou shalt die the
death" Genesis 2:16-17). The
Book of Wisdom refers to the
effects of original sin, But, by
the envy of the devil, death
came into the world" (Wisdom
2:24). For the imagination and
thought of mans heart are prone
to evil from his youth" Genesis
8:2D.
Y. What is the difference be-
ttoeen a Patriarch and a Judge
of the Old Testament? Where
did the Prophets and the Kings
come into the picture2
A. The Scriptural PatriarchS
are founders and chief men of a
clan q Paralipomenon 8:28) such
as the nineteen from Adam to
Therah. With Abraham another
list of patriarchs begins, the
name being especially applied to
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the
twelve sons of Jacob. In Acts
2:29 David is called patriarch
as a sign of special honor. The
Book of Judges narrates the lives
of these leaders of the Chosen
People between the time of

Josua and Samuel. They includ-
ed Debbora, Barac, Gedeon,
Jephte and Samson. Saul, the
first king, was anointed by Sam-
uel and was succeeded by David,
Solomon, etc. Within a few gen.
erations God sent the prophets,
authors of the eighteen prophet
ical books of the Old Testament,
including the major prophets.
Isaias, Jeremias, Baruch, Ezechi-
ell and Daniel.
Q. When Christ blessed st.
Peter Saping flesh and blood
has not repealed this to thee,
but my Father IN heduen," Was
1t not the same aS saying that
God makes saints and there's
nothing zoe can do about it?
A. No. While the grace of God
is necessary for all of us if we
are to resist the power of temp.
tation or perform good and mer-
itorious actions we are still
free. st, Peter could have re-
sisted the grace of God. Saints
are made by repeated response
to Gods graces, which lead per.
son away from sin and into posi-.
tive acts of virtue, but we can
always abuse our freedom and
turn away from God as history
proves. Judas must have had
many graces and probably re-
Sponded to some or he would
not have been an Apostle, but
unlike Peter he did not contin-
ually and persistently obey the
grace of God working upon him.
In the Mass OF a Confessor we
have the words: He that could
have transgressed and hath not
transgressed; and could do evil
things and hath not done them"
Ecclesiasticus 31:10) The saint
must respond to grace
Q. Since st. Joseph ,Dds not
the real father of Jesus l0hy do
the EDdngetiStS trace the descent
of Jesus from David through
him?
A. The Jews always kept their
genealogies in the male line.
Since the Blessed Virgin Mary
was of the same tribe there was
no question of Jesus not being
really descended from David.
BY Jewish law the first child
born to a widow and her second
husband (by custom a younger
brother of her first husband)
was considered as a child of the
first husband. It was natural
to the Jews that this genealogy
should be given for st. Joseph,
And Jacob begot Joseph, the
husband of Mary, and of her
was born Jesus, who is called
Christ" Matthew 1:16)

facts rather than sketehy news
reports or sensational headlines
- are favorable to the Ameri.
can labor movement as a whole.
Professor Taft is not an un.
critical apologist for labor. He
knows, even better than labors
professional critics, that there
are some unconscionable abuses
In certain unions. His studies
have convinced him, however,
that these abuses are the excep-
tion rather than the rule and
that, in some cases at least, they
have been grossly exaggerated.
We would like to cite few
of Professor Taft's specific con-
clusions by way of a general
reply to the letters referred to
above.
/. by and large" he says,
unions have resisted Commun-
ist infiltration and have played
an important role in reducing
Communist influence. American
unioniSm has, in the main, been
inhospitable to all forms of coll
iectivism One method for
keeping Communist influence at
minimum and from arising
again is to maintain strong
and vigorous labor movement"
No Substitute for Facts
2. THE monetary contribn-
tions required by most unions"
Mr.. Taft has found, "are fairly
modest, and the union which
charges high fees is an excep-
tion."
Those who disagree with Mr..
Taft on this point - and there
are many who do, if our cores
pondence is any indication of
public sentiment owe ii to
themselves to study his thorough
going Recommendation on the sub
ject. There is no substitute for
facts in a discussion of this kind.
3. The facts will also show, he
says, that the salaries and ex-
pense accounts of union officials
are very modest in comparison
with those of persons of COM
parable Importance and respon-
sibility in other lines of work.
4. "The rights of members and
their protection in the union,"
Mr.. Taft asserts, seems on the
whole adequate. There are un-
doubtedly examples of certain
oppression, but these are not
the usual situation"
The final sentences in Profes-
sor Taft's extraordinarily infor-
native book adequately summar.
ize our own opinion on the
overall integrity of American
trade unionism, for whatever
that opinion may be worth: Far
from perfect, unions fundamen-
tally reflect the will of their
members. They not only fulfil
a vital need for the workers
representation and protection in
industry, but they are the most
effective guarantee against Com
munist infiltration into Ameri.

Appeal Originated at Stockholm
by the CommunistS) was launch
ed three months before the out
break of Communist armed ag-
gression against South Korea.
Obviously, the appeal was intend
ed as smokescreen for such
aggression
Conspicuous at the Stockholm
meeting, which launched that
appeal in 1850 was Albert Kahn,
one of the publishers of the
present pro-Red book Of Harvey
Matusow, the turnabout witness.
OF Kahn the House Committee
states: u. S. Communist Party
member Albert Kahn, as expect
ed, devote d his speech to a
bitter attack on the Unite d
States and eulogy on the Soviet
Union. With true Communist
Servility he meekly accepted the
criticism leveled by the confer
ence at the peace movement in
the United States This pro-
vides striking example of how
the peace movement OF the
United States is controlled from
abroad"
1t was at the Stockholm ga
thering of the Communists that
the World Peace Congress was
launched, the present World
Peace Council. There will be
powerful forces once again which
will be persuaded to give aid
and comfort to the new sedi-
tions appeal, as they supported
the previous Stockholm appeal.
There remains one basic ans
wer TO this Soviet attempt to
brainwash US - and that is the
breaking off of relations with
Soviet Russia. | can report that
the active Maryland Action
Guild has called for the sever
anee of all diplomatic relations
with the Soviet government.
There should be many others to
follow this example. Such moves
would be blows on behalf of
genuine peace and against the
possibility of further Yaltas,
which would bring on the ex-
pansion of war.

a new aid TO Soviet aggression.
The Cominform organ of Feb
ruary 25, which arrived recently
from Bucharest, gives a great
build-up to this big Kremlin eff
fort to throw dust in to the eyes
Of the people of the free world.
The announcement in that organ
OF Moscow's directives states:
The collection of signatures to
the Appeal to the Peoples of the
World is now again going on in
all countries in response to the
call Of the Bureau of the World
Peace Council. The Appeal de-
mands the destruction of stock
piles of atomic weapons wherev-
er they may be and the immedi-
ate cessation of their manufac-
ture."
Just as the devil often pre-
sents himself in pleasing garb,
so the kremlin wraps its
schemes for our destruction in
the glittering tinsel of alluring
promises.
A moments serious thought
will let us know that this new
appeal is nothing other than
an attempt to disarm the United
States and the other non-Soviet
nations, so that they may become
an easy prey to the further adj
vance of the world Soviet dicta-
torship. For that 0 b iective

A 13-year-old boy, who has
been stealing cars since he was
9. was committed to the Welfare
Department in Juvenile Court
yesterday after the judge heard
testimony that he had once
stolen a jeep to drive from
Frankfurt to Bremenhaven, Ger
many.
A social worker told Judge
Edith H. Cockri1 that some two
years ago the boy. whose father
is an Army sergeant then sta
toned near Frankfurt, stole an
Army jeep, drove to Bremen
haven and unsuccessfully tried to
stow away on a ship bound for
the United States.
Yesterday the child's mother
brought him to court complain
ing that he is beyond her con-
/ troll. Last January the boy was
picked up for dumping trash
cans in an alley. The social
worker declared that the boy
said he was so afraid of the rec
ord he would have that he then
ran away.
Shortly afterwards, however
he was found and at his mothers
request he was sent to the Re-
ceiving Home "for his own
safety" pending Juvenile Court
action
"He needs help" declared the
mother. II think some day he
will appreciate this"
In another instance. Judge
Cockrill continued the commit
ment of two youngsters to the
welfare Department whose par
ents are currently in Jail on
charges of forging checks.
| The boys, T. and 5 years old,
were first committed to the de-
partment in 1852. when the
faGher was serving a sentence in
