The 1858 Refugee Relief Act,
which permits 214,000 refugees to
enter this country up TO December
81, 1856, has been slow in starting,
but now is beginning to pick up
speed. Up to the present time
some $4,000 refugees, escapes and
fugitives from communism have
been admitted under the law.
Pierce J. Gerety, the new deputy
administrator of the refugee pro-
fran, has announced that chartered
refugee ships will make a series Of
ten trips before the end of 1855,
bringing refugees to the United
States. The first ship, the General
w. C. Langfitt, a Navy transport,
is scheduled to dock in New York
on July II with some 1,200 refu.
gees from Germany and Austria.
Through the assistance of ca.
thotic Relief Services-N. c. w.
c., some l,s00 refugees have
been brought into this country
under fhe program while visas
have been issued 10 more than
3,400 persons and some 1000
home and ob assurances have
been filed with cRSN.c.W.c.
headquarters.
At the same time. Monsignor
Wycislo said, there are some 5000
applications received from refu-
gees for emigration assistance.
These applications cover some 16,.
600 persons and every one is a de.
serving case, the Monsignor said.
In his message to diocesan reset.
tlement directors throughout the
country, the Monsignor pointed out
that lacking in these cases are in
dividual sponsors, which are re-
CURED under the law.
The State Department, which su.
pervises the Refugee Relief Pro-
gram, has endorsed the stand taken
by Monsignor WyciSlo on behalf of
the relief agency of the American
Catholic Archbishops and Bishops.
The department has said that in or
der to keep the visa issuance roll.
ing, more and more US. citizen
sponsors are needed. The depart.
ment has called upon all who can
provide jobs for refugees to con-
suit with representatives of vol.

meantime they will prepare for
married life by a holy and exem-
plary courtship.
The ceremony, designed to help
the young man and woman lay a
spiritual foundation for their
forthcoming period of betrothal,
consists of prayers and the bless
ing of the couple and the engage.
ment ring.
Although there is no prescribed
form for the ceremony, a booklet
published at Grailville, Loveland,
O., where Catholic girls are trained
for the lay apostolate, sets forth
an accepted procedure.
1T is appropriate" the booklet
states, 'for the betrothal to take
place before the parish altar or in
chapel. The pastor or his dele
gated assistant and layman and
woman, chosen by the couple who
are to be engaged, are the custo-
mary witnesses. Mass may be offer
ed afterward, or the engagement
may take place in the afternoon,
at the discretion of the pastor and
the couple"
AS the couple kneels at the Com
muffion rail, the priest reads a
psalm and then gives the following
exhortation:
Beloved of Christ: 1t is in the
dispensation of Divine Providence
that you are called TO the holy vo-
cation of marriage. For this reason
you present yourselves today be-
fore Christ and His Church, before
His sacred minister and the devout
people of God, to ratify in solemn
manner the engagement bespoken
between you. At the same time you
entreat the blessing of the Church

resettlement directors throughout
the nation, asking particularly that
they line up home and job assur-
ances for some 10000 refugees
who are qualified to come to this
country under the Refugee Relief
Act but who lack individual spon-
sors.
Recently returned to his New
York office from an inspection tour
of Catholic Relief Services = Ma
tional Catholic Welfare Conference
establishments in Europe and the
Near East, Monsignor Wycislo said:
Everywhere I went was be
siesed with pleas from our peo-
pie for home and Job assurances.
Thousands of cases are ready,
waiting only on US for the assUr-
ancss. We must not abandon
those who could come TO our
country. We must fulfill our
promise and bring the refugee
problem to happy conclusion"

The spending of SIS billion a
year on military equipment for
friendly nations is cheap insur-
ance for the United States if it
continues to prevent another
war, Assistant Defense Secretary
H. Struve Hensel told the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
today.
Although the Korean conflict
was a small war. Mr.. Hensel said
it cost the United States $18
billion, not counting the pay of
American combat troops.
Mr.. HenSel went into closed
session with the committee this
morning to defend the military
portion of next years foreign aid
budget. The administration has
requested a total of S3.5 billion,
of which SIT billion is military.
Defense Statistics
Although the new military
estimate is only SIT billion, Mr..
Hensel testified that over a
period of more than five years
the United has spent S11 billion
on military aid for its allies or
an annual average of between
50 and S2.5 billion. During that
same time, the United States
has spent $170 billion on its
own defenseS.
He pointed out that this made
the overseas military aid only 8
per cent of our own defense
budget. In return, he said, "these
allies are that much stronger
than they would have been with
out our program and that much
more able to preserve peace and
thwart aggression.
IF we are successful in pre-
venting even another Korean
war;" Mr.. Hensel continued, "our
defense alliance expenditures.
viewed solely as an insurance
premium, will be very cheap

years at the present rate"
To show that the allies are
doing their part Mr.. Hensel said
that in the last 51a years the
NATO countries have spent S43
billion from their own budgets
to create military strength while
receiving s7.8 billion of American
aid. He said the European allies
