Legionnaires
Urged to Pray
For Peace

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, - NC)--
A plea to all legionnaires to
"pray for a lasting peace" was
issued here at the close of the
two-day national meeting of
American Legion chaplains.
Spiritual leaders of the veter-
ans organization urged the use
of public transit vehicles adver-
tising space for religious mes
sages. They also recommended
that Legion posts initiate awards
for community members who
have promoted in a special way
the organizations Back to God"
movement.
Literature on the 'moral and
spiritual values" of American
documents such as the Constitu-
ton and the Declaration of In
dependence also was planned by
the chaplains.. Such literature
will be distributed, with the ap-
provai of state education boards,
to teachers.

British Catholics
Comment On
Sex Crime
Prosecution

LONDON - NC) - The Home
Office, British government min
istry controlling the police and
prosecution of crime, is consider
ing a report submitted by group
of Catholic sociologists and
priests on the legal punishment
of crimes against sexual morality.
An important point Of the re.
port is the fact that British
criminal law does not seem TO
distinguish between sin, which
is a matter of private morals,
and crime, which is an offense
against the state, having anti.
social consequences"
The committee urged that the
government retain the utmost
penal sanctions against sexual of
fenses against minors, public de-
cency, and the exploitation of
vice for the purpose of gain.
But it recommended that "con-
sensual acts done in private by
adult males" should not be pun
ishable by law.
The Home Office is currently
conducting a thorough investiga-
ton concerning the rise of homo
sexuality and prostitution in
Britain since the end of World
War II. The purpose of the Cath
olic group is to make clear to ma
tional legislators the Church's
viewpoint on the subject, which
has become almost a national
scandal and point OF frequent
discussion.
The committee agreed that the
distinction between personal sin
and public crime is not always
easy to define, but that il is "cer-
tainly ignored" in existing Brit
ish legislation. Present British
penal law imposes penal sane
tions for "acts of gross indecen
cy done by consenting adult
males in private.
The Catholic committee point
ed out that, with regard to pros
titution, "the same principles ap
ply, from the point of view oi
moral theology, as in connection
with homosexuality. The distinc
ton between sin and crime Il
equally valid regarding prostitu
ton"
The existing practice of prose
cution for soliciting and impor
tuning is indefensible and shoulc
be discontinued, they said. Pros
ecution should be carried out II
cases where sufficient exidenc'
| is available only, and in such cas-
es the courts should be empower
ed to inflict suitable penalties
The present penalties are usual!
trivial fines without any deten
tion whatever.

Mikolajczyk is now chairman of
the International Peasants Union,
which consists of peasant parties
from all nations behind the Iron
Curtain. It's headquarters are in
New York. The former vice pre-
mier recently returned from Par
is, where he attended the fifth
congress of the union.
He labeled as misleading
and dangerous" the press and
diplomstie reports that give the
impression that 'GomUlka is
Titcist and q rebel against Mos
COW. The Polish leader referred
10 the Polish Red boss as "a
fanatieaI communist whose
aims are the same as those OF
The Soviet Union, namely: 10
insure ultimate domination Of
the world by communism"
Gomulka recently visited Red
leaders in Moscow to discuss Pol.
ish-Soviet relations.
Mikolajczyk said that the full
texts of Gomulka's speeches give
true picture of his attitude
while excerpts from them often
give the free world the wrong
impression. He contrasted Go
mulka's speeches with those OF

Wyszynski, Primate of Poland,
to show that the Cardinal is a
symbol of freedom for the Pol
ish people, and that Gomulka's
attitude toward communism has
not changed.
1t is clear from the full texts
of Gomulka's speeches, Mikola-
jczyk said, that his program re-
mains the same. He has empha-
sized that the Soviet army must
remain in Poland, and he plans
to continue the forced collec-
Invitation of agriculture in that
country.
Mikolajczyk said that in a
speech given in October, Gomulka
stated: "We will not permit any
one to. use democratic processes
against socialism"
Gomulka has found it neces-
sary to permit certain "liberaliza-
tlons," the Polish leader observ-
ed, because of the violent anti
communism of the majority of
the Polish people. He referred
to the recent release of Cardinal
Wyskynski as one of these "lib.
eral" gestures.
He cited four main reasons
why the Poles hate the Soviets
more than any other nation does:
u Nikita Khrushchev, Soviet
Red Boss, was responsible for
the deportation of nearly 1900
900 Poles to Russia when he
served as general secretary of
the Communist party in the
Ukraine.
q Soviet Premier Nikolai Bull
ganin was the emissary for the
Lublin communist faction) Pol
ish government.
81 Since World War II about
two million Poles have been de-
ported to Russia, including 40,-
600 Polish officers.
u The Soviets are exploiting
the economic resources Of Pol
and.
The us. Government should
not aid Poland, he said, unless it
is sure that the following condi.
tions have been fulfilled: Free.
elections in Poland, and the abo.
lition of secret trade agreements
made by its Red.dominated gov.
ernment.
Unless there Is a guarantee of
some kind of free Polish govern
ment, us. assistance to Poland
will only help to build up Soviet
strength, he stated,
He suggested that the question
of free elections in Poland be
brought up for discussion in the

lists have completely distorted
the meaning of the Dead Sea
Scrolls, according to Father
John M. Oesterreicher, director
of the Institute of Judaeo-C Chris
tian Studies at Seton, Hall Univer-
sity, Newark, NJ.
In an address at ST. Roses
College here, Father oesfer.
reieher gave examples from
the Dead Sea scholls which he
said show that the evanselists
were faithful recorders OF
what they had seen and heard.
He said the fact that the scrolls
tell of men who, during the days
before the coming of Christ,
pledged themselves to a life of
penance and communal living and
worship-even to a life of pow
erty, chastity and obedience -
proves that the monasticism of
the Church has profound roots
in the time, land and people of
Jesus.
II also provides a vivid in.

tween the Church and the Is

which contains a comprehensive

Mr.. Kindleberger said he told

it would be necessary for Mr.

He said Mr.. Fields told him

Mahmoud Fawzi said in a tele-

the U. N. police troops would

Canal Zone the minute the

lose their employment. Instead,
he said. they should be en-
couraged to work and to repay
what they owed welfare.
He added, however, that if the
case were fragrant, there should
be a prosecution as a deterrent
to others who might be inclined
toward fraud.
Problems Arise in Screening
On the question of screening
there is still some ironing out
to be done. Mr.. Shea does not
want to be in the position of
protecting relief clients who
make false statements. On the
other hand, Mr.. Gasch does not
want to burden his prosecutors
with reviewing a lot of cases
where repayment is preferable
to prosecution and there are
strong mitigating circumstan-
ces."
Welfare officials, their inves-
tigators and prosecutors agree
that cases like the one dis
closed last week-a family man
who got more than $1,000 over
a six-year period while allegedly
hiding real estate ownership
are rare.
But there have been a few
such cases over the past years
three of them last year ac-
cepted for prosecution-and
there was no prosecution. They
became involved in the batting
back and forth of cases, the eff
forts to collect, and the general
uncertainty that has surrounded
this unpopular form of prosecu-
ton.
The three were among the SIS
cases referred by the Welfare
to the prosecutor
asst year. There have been "a

On which the prosecutor has not
