BILE. WE BELIEVE, produced by
The National Council of Catholic
Men is Intended TO bring clearer
understanding of the beliefs of
Catholics in an objective and edu-
cational manner.
Father McQuade discusses in
detail the history and origin of
many of the sacred writings in
the Bible and relates how the
Council of the Vatican around
1860 decreed, "thst God was the
real Author of the Bible since it
was written under the inspiration
of the Holy Spirit"

that certain persons, either Ca
tholic or close TO Catholicism, are
beginning to be persuaded that
there is a kind of 'ineyitability'
about communism. Assuming such
a premise =. one arrives at the
conclusion that from the moment
communist reality becomes in
evitable, one must compromise
with it, seek points of possible
contact and form the bases for
'eoexistence'."
A person who holds such q
position, "osservatore" eontin-
ued, is unaware that truth can
not be twisted to compromise
with Untruth. Such a person,
"osservstore" concluded fixes
the chains that bind his oppres-
ed brothers." He is "gullibIe

giles in sorrow"

Judge Medina
Recalls Reds
Court Antics

OMAHA, Neb. - (NC) -
Judge Harold E. Medina, who
presided at the trial of Ii top
communists in 1949, said
here that during the court
proceedings many attempts
were made to break him
down physically and mental
ly.
The Judge spoke to a Creighton
University audience following
presentation to him of an honor
ary degree of doctor of letters by
Father Carl NJ. Reinert, 81, pres
ident of Creighton.
The ceremony took place dur
ing a two-day convocation called
by the University to focus atten-
tion on the launching of It's s14
million, ten-year expansion pro-
gram.
Judge Medina said efforts
were made to lead him to a ply
seal and mental breakdown
through an endless procession of
delegations coming to visit him
in behalf of the communists at all
hours of the day and night
He also said planned demon
strations we're put on in the court
room and that pickets paraded
outside the building protesting
the trial and objecting to the
judge.
All this time, he added, 1he
communists ran . smear cam
psisn against him, changing the
Tine, every six weeks or so.
He received threatening letters
and II was necessary for him 70
have polies protection, he said.
But he said that after the trial
ended, it was all worthwhile be-
cause of the many reassuring
letters and compliments he re
ceived. "These thousands of peo.
pie realized better than | did that
what was at stake was the intee-
rity of the whole judicial svs-
tenn of the United States No
matter how long ] may live !
shall always be grateful for
this experience" he said.
