"Hereorea the United States has
been careful to avoid any formal
recognition Of the transfer Of
these islands i(F'ormosa and the
Pescadores) to China and to
reserve a high degree of freedom
In regard to its position on the
future status Of these islands.
Indeed. ownership Of Formosa
and the Pescadores lies in . kind
of legal limbo. If you walk into
the Office of a State Department
official and ask simple question
Who owns Formosa ?'you're
likely to get a cup Of coffee and
a lot OF genial conversation, but
no answer.
A Chinese pirate patriot, Kox-
inga, made Formosa part of the
Chinese Empire In 1862.
China ceded Formosa to Japan
In 1896 as the result Of losing the
Sino-Japanese war. Japan kept
the island until after World
War II, when, in the Japanese
peace treaty, 1t waived all claim
to Formosa.
But the treaty didn't say who
fell heir to. Fogmosa, The United
states and its allies repeatedly
have stated their intention It'll
Riyea Formosa to the Republic us

done.

has sauatters' rights there, the
United States has not made 1t

Certainly, Mr.. Dulles will con-
tend, the United States-Nation-
alist mutual defense treaty does
not do this.
Mr.. Cohen. contending that it
does, stated:
"The formal recognition Of
Formosa and the Pescadofes as
territories Of the Republic OF
China, would give substance to
the claim of the Chinese Com
nists that an armed attack on
these islands Is not international
aggression on their part but civil
war In which the right and pur-
pose of other nations forcibly to
intervene would be cpent to
serious doubt and question.
In the view Of some admin
istration officials, this Is a moot
point. The United States all
ready recognizes the Commu-
mist Chang fight as aciyil war
but certainly hasn't hesitated to
intervene. regardless of what the
lawyers say.

Mr.. Dulles stand will be: This

the treaty does not affect the
question of sovereignty one way

Mr.. Cohen contends this rec

doesn't. This dispute. however,
probably could be solved by hav-

If Mr.. Cohen loses on this

merit positions. Under the order,
agencies have to list these job
vacancies with the Republican
National Committee and freeze
the positions for 80 days.
Presents His Case.
Mr.. Youhg presented the
Administrators case as follows:
/. The new career conditional
appointment system which goes
into effect next week "opens the
way to full careers under the
merit system for hundreds Of
thousands Of indefinite employees
who have been denied career
status since 1850.
Il believe that the new system,
as developed BY the Civic Serv-
ice Commission and issued by
the President, represents the
greatest advance of many. many,
years toward providing the
American people with q strong
and stable career force to carry
on the essential and complicated
functions Of modern Govern
nent."
Mr.. Young said that under the
new system career appointments
in the future will be made only
through competitive examina-
ton. In those few cases where
the csc. because of its inability
to furnish register of eligibIes
for certain job. gives an agency
authority to hire on the open
market, the agency will be al
lowed to make only q temporary
appointment which will continue
only until the commission can
hold an exam for the job.

A lawyer and a theologian con-

Polish Priests Set
To Erect School
In South Sweden

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - NC)-
A community of Polish priests is
expected to come to southern
Sweden soon to establish a Catho-
lie school.
After a number of legal techni-
calities have been cleared the COM
munity is expected to take over an
estate bequeathed for such a pur-
pose by Baron Gustav Armfelt,
Swedish Catholic who died in 1852.
Negotiations are now going on with
the Marian Fathers of Fawley
Court, near Henley en- the Thames,
England, to take over the estate
and establish a Catholic school in
that predominantly Protes n /
area.
Baron Armfelt was married to a
Polish woman and under her influ-
ence became a convert in 1897.

Condemned Mans
Final Hours Kept
Secret by Priest

LONDON, NC) - A Catholic
priest has refused to disclose
whether he heard the last con-
fession of a Londoner hanged four
years ago for a murder he may not
have committed.
Father Joseph Francis, visited
the condemned man, John Timothy
Evans, while he was awaiting hang
ing for the murder of his infant
daughter. A sensation was caused
in a recent parliamentary debate
on capital punishment here when
the Home Secretary at that time,
Chuter EIDE, who was responsible
for the final decision on Evans
execution, admitted that a mistake
was probably made. After Evans
death another man living in the
same house was found guilty and
executed for numbering six women.
Evans was q Catholic. The peo-
pie, popular Sunday newspaper,
said that the mans mother. .
non-caiholie, had declared she
was going to write TO the Pope
for permission for Father Francis
70 give details of his last visit
with her son. The paper added
that The priest had told her: ~
have always believed your son
was innocent. He was not . nvr.
derer."
He would give no further de-
tails. He stressed that this was
purely a matter of personal feel
ing and was not based on anything
he had heard. AT no time did Fa-
ther Francis reveal whether he had
or had not heard Evans confession.
AS the Catholic Times pointed
out, no Pope would ask a priest to
reveal anything told him in con-
fidence. And the Holy Father him
self could not dispense a priest
from the absolute secrecy of any.
thing told in confession.

tains a relic of the True Cross. The
cross was due to be brought here
from Venezuela. It first came to
Mexico in January, 1850, when it
was venerated by more than 500,-
900 faithful.
On three distinct occasions, a
huge cross has appeared in the sky
during the tour of the Cross of
Peace, and the phenomena has been
photographed, Father Rivas de-
clared.
"On October 81, 1851, when the
Cross made its entry into San
Miguel in Ell Salvador, another
gigantic cross formed by twilight
clouds and perfectly designed float
ed in the sky" the priest said. "The
phenomenon was seen by the COVER
nor Of the city as we'll as the as
Sembled throng and the ecclesiasti-
cal authorities"
Father Rivas spoke also of two
cases of healing of which he said
he had personal knowledge. The
cures, both instantaneous and
extraordinary" occurred in Guate-
mala, he said. In the first case, an
agonized infant, crying ceaselessly
from some unknown ailment, quiet.
