.Slav Reds Use
Party Strife To
Attack Priests

GRAZ, Austria - tNC) -
A com m unist inter-paTty
strife in Yugoslayia has been
used to attack Church officials
there.
Reports reaching here state
that Tito's top police official,
SVetislav Stefanovic, Secretary
of Interior, attacked Catholic
and Orthodox priests for
allegedly supporting two re-
jected government officials. The
clergymen were accused of aetivi-
ties favoring former yice-president
Milovan Djilas and publicist Vladi-
mir Dedijer.
Stefanovic charged sections OF
the Roman Catholic and Serbian
Orthodox Clergy" with trying TO
use these two men to wreck the
Yugoslav communist party. He al
so accused the priests of 'misuslng
freedom of religion to promote po-
litical aims"
Diilas was expelled from the
Yugoslav communist party last Jan
uary. Dedijer was ousted only II
the past few days, at time wher
Tito himself was on a state vlsli
in India.
The charge that Catholic
priests could have been IN
league with these two former
Tito officials is considered par.
tieuIarIy absurd by informed
sources here. Both Diilas and
Dediier were known TO be anti
religious and snsi-cafholic.
1t was Dediier who directed thI
propaganda campaign to sell the
west on the idea that Yugoslavia
after its break in l948 with TIT
Kremlin, had suddenly become /
democratic nation" He arranged
and supervised the visits to IugQ
slavia of numerous American, Brit
ish and other guests of the Tit
Regime. After their cOnducte,
tours the guests were expected I

addressed tt the world by The Pom

pontificate he has hoped to offer

The first six years Of his ponti.

war to cold peace" He said
that this idea Of "co-existenee" is
step in the right direction, but
still UNIV orthy OF the name Of
peace.
The Pope declared thar the
world needs more than mere
"eoexistsnee." II needs "a truly
peaceful living roeefher, inspir-
ed and protected by the divine
moral order."
The Pontiff found fault with
both the two opposing camps II

Chair OF Unity
Octave Is Set
January 1925

GARRISON, n. Y NC
The present conditions of the
world surely mean that all
Catholics and not just a few
should pray and sacrifice dur
ing the Chair of Unity Octave
Father Titus Granny, S.A., of
the franciscan Friars of the
Atonement, said here.
The task involved in the reunion
of Christendom is tremendous
one. said Father Granny. who is
the assistant director of the Chair
of Unity Octave observance.
The observance is period of
prayer for the reunion of Chris
tendon and the conversion of all
onbelievers. II runs this year
from January 1s, the Feast OF
the Chair Of St. Peter at Rome,
TO January IS, the Feast Of the
Conversion of St. Paul. II had its
origin here in the United States
in 1908 from Father Paul James
Francis, S.A., founder of the
Atonement Fathers, and has
since spread TO ell parts of the
Catholic world.
I'VE who are Catholics may of
ten forget that what is so easy for
us TO believe is a tremendous OBJ
stacle for someone outside the
Church Human talents may
prepare the soil, dispose the soul
form the seed of faith, but it j;
God alone Who places the seec
there" Father Granny said.
The Catholic teaching on unity il
a simple proposition, said Father
Granny. "A call for union means
an invitation to all non-Cathohc'
to join the Church" he asserted
1T means, in other words, submis
sion to the authority of the Holy
See" he added.
Because prayer is the most pow
erful means of accomplishing uni
ty. Father Titus concluded, thu
goal of bringing back all non Cath
olics into the fold can be realized
"only by the charity and prayer,
of the faithful animated with /;
burning zeal for the salvation o
souls"

The labor group also said such
bills open tie way for spirit of
class warfare" by eliminating the
union shop
The message declared that il is
the firm position of the Catholic
Church that every man has right
to organize and this right includes
the right to those means necessary ;
for the security of the organiza-

good.
Without TIE union shop, a labor
