Taking Advantage of Gossip

the Communists are being tried,
Who these progressive leaders"
are the Net6 Times does not
state for a very simple reason
and that is that they cannot be
listed.
The "trumped up charges" are
the resms of documentary evi-
dence presented in the Federal
courts against the Communist
conspiracy, based on the plans
and purposes of that conspiracy
itself. II is these documents,
which the Soviet fifth column
continres TO distribute for the
overthrow Of the Government OF
the United States, that have
been denied to the American peo-
pie by so much of our daily
press. Anyone who consults the
de luxe edition of Stains
Problems of Leainisna, to which
referred last week, will learn
of the set plans of the Moscow
conspiracy, toward which the
Communists are constantly push
ing, to overthrow the United
States of America.
But the New Times is conf
dent of the acceptance Of its
falsehoods among the peoples of
many countries because some of
our OWL great newspapers have
lent their aid in that direction.
These newspapers-tossing aside
the documentary evidenc
against the Communists - give
the impression that because
Matusow says he lied, therefore
every Government witness is a
liar. This violates logic and real
ity The same journals do not
contend that because DR.. ]. Rob-
ert 0ppenheimer admit he lied
to the Government in order to
protect Haakon Chevalier, Soviet
espionage agent, therefore all
scientists tor even all pro-com-

Quite to the contrary, they use
this as an excuse for DR.. Open
heimer, even though the eyi-
dence in his case was such as TO
cause man of the judicial poise
of Thomas r. Murray to de-
nounce him.

There is no point in evading
this issue or in playing it down
merely for the sake of har-
mony. 1t ought to be resolved

near future-preferably before
the LILO. holds its next plenary

early part of the Summer.
In our opinion, the issue

advanced by Secretary Mitchell
and Mr.. Delaney in favor of this
position are very convincing.

anything, an added reason why

confidence IN the blessing of
car, trusting that it wiH pre-
vent accidents, etc?
A. Blessings such as the one
mentioned are included in the
Roman Ritual of the Church and
are sacramentals The proper
use of sacramentals cannot be
con $ / dered superstitious. but
they are not magic. They do not
guarantee results such as the
prevention of all accidents and
exaggerated belief in their pow
er could be superstitious. The
blessing includes these words:
Send Thy holy angels to deliv-
er and guard from every danger
il (the carr and all who will ride
in it." Sacramentals have the
power of our prayers and devo-
ton and the power of the bless
ing of the Church, which means
great and effective operations OF
Gods omnipotence are to be ex-
pected in them. Effects that we
should judge to be miraculous
have been bserve down
through the centuries by those
who made good and proper use
of the Sacramentals. Through
them the Church sanctifies even
the most ordinary objects we
use in our daily lives, intending
that her blessings should turn
our minds and hearts to God
when we use them.
Q. HoU aoiH the people on the
Last Day get in their Purgatory2
A. Since the Apostles Greed
speaks Of Christ coming to Judge
"the living and the dead" it
would seem to imply that some
will not have any length of
time" in Purgatory. st, Paul
speaks of the Second Coming say
ing land the dead in Christ will
rise up first. Then we who live,
who survive. shall be caught up

there is no reason why the pun

WASHINGTON -- (NC)-With
Free China facing possible immi-
nent attack, the people on For
mosa are giving impressive testi-
mony to the popularity of their
leader, President Chang Ksi-
Shek.
This is attested in authorita-
tive reports reaching here. They
say that whenever the General

unfailing and instantaneous out
bursts of applause. This is con-
Sidered doubly notew hy :.

also, because the Chinese them

Catholic missionaries said that

the people showed their high re-
gard for the Generalissimo as
far back as 1887. AT that time,
when the Sian incident termi-
mated, and Chang Kai-Shek was
again at liberty, the joyous re-
action of the people was report
ed to have been extraordinary.
(The Sian incident refers to
the kidnapping of Chang Kai-
Shek by communists. He was

misrepreSent the prosecution of

States. Commenting on the rev
elations" of Harvey Matusow,
the inventor of the "strineless
yo.yo" the Red international di-
receive organ says: Everyone
now understands that the perse-
cution of the Communist Party
and progressive leaders in the
United States is based on
trumped up charges supported by
deliberately false evidence of
professional informers. Matu-
sow's evidence can neither be
refuted. destroyed, or hushed
up"
Scarcely could there be so
many distorted statements made
in one paragraph as in this direc-
tive in the Moscow organ. 1t mis-
represents the American judicial
system to the people of all coun-
tries, for these falsehoods will
be spread by Red agents into

what happens in the office of the
pap1cy, II is unreasonable to be-
lieve that God would establish a
ChIrcl. to carry on His mission
among men and leave it subject
to opinion and error in all mat
ters. Infallibility means that God

Q. Who is the patron saint for
hunters
A. St. Hubert is the patton of
hunters, foresters and for the
protection of dogs. There is an
ancient legend about his meeting
with a miraculous stag in the for
est of Ardennes, also connected
with st. Eustace, who is also
named as a patron of hunters.

q. What is the symbolism of

Water?
A. The Easter Candle, being
lighted in the darkness of the
Holy Saturday Services repre-
sents Christ, the Light of the
World, risen from the dead.
Easter Water is practically the
same as any holy water, except
that il is the water blessed on
Holy Saturday, some of which is
used for the baptismal water and
the rest for the faithful to take
home. 1t has traditionally been
used for the blessing of homes
on Holy Saturday where that
custom prevails.
Q. Is there Saint Karen?
A Saint Donna?
A. Karen is a variant for Kather-
inc (Catherine). There are a num-
Der of saints of that name, not
ably st. Catherine of Siena. She

tory of the Church, at the same
time being a great mystic and
spiritual author. Her feast day

as variant of Donata, and that

is undoubtedly true, for, if the
us. were to withdraw from the
LILO, the Soviet Union would
then be in a favorable position
to use the facilities and richly
deserved prestige of the LILO.
for its own evil purposes.
Secretary Mitchell made SUBJ
stantially the same point when he
said that nature abhors vacuum
in politics as we'll as in the
sciences. IF we would quit par
ticipating in international organ
izations today and remove our
selves from positions of influ-
ence and leadership in these bod
ies," the Secretary said, you
can be sure that by tomorrow
morning the Soviet Union would
be trying to fill the vacuum we
created. /, for one, do not be-
lieve we can afford to lose by
default the battle We are waging
for the minds of men"
Policy OF Withdrawal
Disastrous or not, number of
people in the us are in favor
of this policy. Some of them go
so far as to say that this is the
only policy which can be defend
ed in tn. light of Catholic teach
ing. Their argument runs as fol-
lows: We are forbidden by the
Natural Law and by Catholic
teaching to cooperate with COM
munism or Communists. But Com.
munists are represented in the
U.N. and the LILO. and in some
of the other specialized agen-
eies. Therefore we ought to with
draw from these organizations.
for If we continue to participate
in them, we are, in effect, CO.
operating with Communists.
II is true, of course, that we
are forbidden by the Natural
Law and by Catholic teaching to
cooperate with Communists in
the pursuit of Communist OBJ
iectives. But participation in the
UF and the LILO. and the
other specialized agencies is one
effective means of thwarting
these obiectives. Therefore, con-
tinled participation in these or.
CARNATIONS is at least permiss-
ible and, in the opinion of many
theologians, highly desirable. It
Is desirable not only as a neg
stive means OF thwarting Com
munist objectlves but, equally
important, as positive means
of gradually working toward the
establishment of an effective in.
ternational organization of the
world community for social and
economic progress as we'll as for
political peace and harmony.
In conclusion, it will be enough
to note that Pope Plus XII, as
recently as November 10, 1854,
granted a special audience TO the
Governing Body of the LILO.
and on that occasion enthusias.
tically praised the LILO. as an
organization (which truly repre-
